WHO OWNS THE pREscR1prroNsl

Ip whom does the Prosecution be-
long-to the doctor who writes it, or
the druggist who puts up the medi-
cine! This question has recently
been the subject of an interesting dis.
cussIon in the secular press, having
been Started by New York journal,
in commenting On letter received
from one of its readers complaining
that druggist who filled prescrip-
ton which he had received from a
doctor and paid for would not return
him the prescription. According to
the newspaper, the druggist based his
claim Of ownership in the prescription
upon the grounds of frequently being
required to produce in court the origi-
mails otprescriptions which he had put
up, IN order to answer important
questions, and, further. that he needs
the, - otion for his own protec-
tfoh In the event of any trouble arls-
ing from its taking, to show that he
has put ap only what the doctor has
prescribd.
The druggist insists that it is not
safe for apatient to hold a prescrip
ton which he can have filled at any
time, for tie reason that the physi-
clan formulstes prescription accord
ing to existing symptoms and the ex-
act condition of the patient at the
time, and if le, the patient, should
take it at anoher time when he ap-
parently may have the same trouble,
but conditions are different, he will
do himself physical and the doctor
a professional injury.
The doctor partially approves the
claim of the druggist, modifying it
only to the extent Of requiring him to
give copy of the prescription to the
patient, and declaresthat no prescrip-
tion should ever be filed from a copy,
which should be so marked, and that
no prescription should ever be refill
ed, except from the approval of the
doctor who gave it, and that there
should be law to that effect.
These views of the question utterly
ignore any property rights the patient
may be supposed to have in the pre-
scription. The patient pays the doc
tor for writing out the prescription
and then pays the druggist for filling
it. Now, what is it the patient buys
Is it only what the pharmacist hands
him in box, bottle or paper? If SO,
what is it that he has paid the doctor
for? The druggist receives full re-
muneration for his drugs, and COM
pounding the prescription has cost
him nothing. By what right, then,
does he hold title to it? For self-pro-
lection, it is claimed.
But what about the patients right
to avail himself of whatever advan-
tages may afterward adhere in the
prescription? The patient, having
purchased prescription, has prop
erty right therein which neither the
doctor who wrote it nor the druggist
whct6lled it has, and he is therefore
entitled to its possession. The drug
gist may be permitted to retain a copy.

THE BRITISH scHooLBoY ON ANIMALS

A correspondent who offered prizes
in different schools for essays on kind
ness to animals sends us a few ex-
tracts from the papers received:
There are two kinds of animals,
and they are the quadruped and by
ped ; the quadruped are lions and
tigers and such like, and the byped
is birds.'
"Some people kick the poor dog
and give it no food. Then the poor
animal bites the first person it comes
to, and this causes the person to have
idiphobery, and the animal gets kill
ed. This is all through the people
giving the animal nothing to eat"
Animals do not go to church nor
say prayers. They never sit down to
get their meals, and we do"
when the animal dies it is nc
more good except for food, but when
we die we have a resurrection. -

POWER OF WATER.

A single pint of water will burst a
strongly built iron -hooped oaken cask
as quickly as though dozen pounds
of gunpowder were exploded within
it. 1t is we'll known law of physics
that the pressure exerted by liquids
increases in proportion to their depths.
Suppose, therefore, that we have
strong cask filled with water and
standing on end. The slaves Of this
cask may be made to burst apart by
adding very small quantity of water
to what is already in the cask.
AS the cask is already full, some
way of adding the water must be de-
vised. To do this hole is bored in
the end or head of the cask and long
tube of small diameter is inserted up
right. At the upper end of the tube
is small funnel into which water is
poured until the tube becomes full,
and when that point is reached the
cask will burst.
This seems almost incredible, but
| it is only demonstration of the law
that has been cited. When the water
is poured into the tube it unites with
the water in the cask, and the depth
of the water is several times as great
as it was in the cask alone. The
fact that there is only small quantity
of water in the tube makes no differ
ence, for it is now all one body, aDd
its depth is gauged from the top of
the tube to the bottom of the cask.
AS matter of fact, the experiment
is only an artificial reproduction Of
what we know takes place in nature.
Some of her greatest convulsions are
caused by this very process. Sup
pose, for example, that there is great
mass of rock, under which there is a
cavity filled with water that has no
outlet. Suppose, moreover, that there
is a crack extending from the surface
of the ground through this mass of
rock to the well-flled cavity under
meath.
A rock in this condition is COM
mon thing in nature, the crack being
caused by some disturbance of the
earth, or by its splitting in the natur-
al order of things. Now when it
rains enough to fill that crack, thus
increasing the depth of the water in
the cavity, the pressure will become
so great that the rock will be torn into
one hundred fragments.

GRANT ME THY PEACE!

Lord, through the coming year make no plea
FOR wealth or power; neither that of grief
have no portion; but where'er be,
Grant me Thy peace
ask not that my days shall pleasure know:
NOT That from sorrow shall find relief;
In hours OF JOY, in hours of pain, or woe,
Grant me Thy peace!
If storm clouds lower, if the sky be gray,
And lightnfngs rift the air; if stormy seas
Threaten to me engulf, dear Lord, I pray.
Grant me Thy peacei
If those 1 trust deny me, or betray.
Till sorrows chalice holds but bitter lees:
Ii hopes, long cherished. fall me by the way.
Grant me Thy peace!
II Joy bids fair to be my welcome guest
Lest forget-oh, leave me not alone;
But let my happy heart have added zest;
Grant me Thy peace!
That peace which passeth understanding give.
a peace which deadens pain when hope hath
flown
In joy, in grief, whether die or live,
Grant me Thy peacel

HIS FATHER WAS A JUROR.

Secretary of the Treasury Shaw
tells this story of personal expert
ence while trying case in an Iowa
court. A boy about fourteen years
old had been put on the stand and
the opposing counsel was examining
him. After the usual preliminary
questions as to the witness age, res
idence and the like, he then pro-
ceeded:
"Have you any occupation?"
"No."
"Don't you do any kind of work :"
"No."
"Just loaf around home?'
"That's about ALL"
"What does your father do?"
''Nothin' much"
Doesn't he do anything to sup
port the family ~
"He does odd Jobs once in while
when he can get them"
Gas a matter of fact, isn't your
father a pretty worthless fellow, a
dead beat and loafer ?"

ask him. He's sittin' over there on
the jury"

THE NUMBERS seven and twelve
seem to have had special recognition.
There were the seven wise men OF
Greece, the seven wonders, of the
world, the seven penitential psalms,
the seven deadly sins and the seven
cardinal virtues. So there were the
twelve tribes of Israel, the twelve
Apostles, the twelve tables of the
Roman law, and our months and
hours are numbered by twelve.

sail, bound for Honolulu. She had not
proceeded more than one hundred and
twenty miles to sea when. in the night
! time. while all the cabin passengers
and most of the troops were asleep. the
vessel was headed about and steered
for Manila again.
A very suspicious case of sickness
had been discovered among the crew
and the ships surgeons deemed 1t ad-
visable to put back to Manila and make
sure of the nature of the disease, rather
than run the risk of the disease being
cholera and having the sickness spread
among the hundreds of passengers
aboard during long passage to Homo
lulu.
As soon as II was learned that the
transport was heading back for Ma
Mia there was great excitement aboard
the transport. At first people did not
know the reason of the changing OF the
course and supposed that something
had gone wrong with the machinery

sengers, however, soon found out that
there was suspicious case OF sickness:

the vessel was heading about.
Great disappointment was manifested
all around. The soldiers were particu
larry dissatisfied at the new order o
things. They had looked forward 20
speedy passage to Honolulu, thence I,
San Francisco and now they were to b
taken back to Manila, perhaps to b
quarantined there for another five days
At Manila an examination was mad
of the suspected case of sickness AM
II was found, after day or so, that |
was nothing more than cholera NOR
