Sometimes it seems as if drugstores
have everything except drugs. The
middle aged man Or woman remembers
when the apothecary shop had dis
tinctive smell of drugs and chemicals.
Nothing was in sight but jars of won
drously colored liquids and powders,
crystals and cticks and drawers of Gu
rious things with Latin labels. The
only thing that was at all attractiS e
for the women was the case of fancy
soaps and perfumes, with face powders
and cosmetics. and for the men the case
Of cigars. The soda fountain made the
first innovation. 1t was no such preten-
tious affair as now dominates the cor
ner drugstore, however. 1t stood mod
estly ON one end of the counter. There
were five or six kinds Of sirups and no
ice cream or hot drinks. Eater candy
found a place in the apothecarys. then

sorts Of bric-a-brac.--New York Press.

Those Dull Ducks.

I recall Mr.. Lowell telling. jocosely,
in an after dinner speech in Cambridge
how he met an acquaintance (of dubi-
Gus standing) whose cheerful face and
happy demeanor led him to ask the
cause of such exuberant felicity.
"Why," said the genial smiler, "Ive
discovered a way to make my fortune.
We all know that the reason for the
fine flavor of the wild duck is the wild
celery on which it feeds. Now, pro.
pose to feed it to the domestic duck and
supply the market"
Some weeks later, on meeting his ac-
quaintance again, Mr.. Lowell foun,,
him quite depressed and inconsolablc
''Why. are you looking so unhappy?
thought the last time l saw you that
you were on the point of making your
fortune with ducks. Wouldn't it
work?'
NO" was the reply; "the things
won't eat it."-Atlantic.

For years young man and young
woman had been engaged, and each
had economized with a view of hav-
ing the more to spend when they
should marry. Six months ago, how
ever, the engagement was broken, and
shortly afterward the young woman
became the fancee of another man.
This man she encourages to spend his
money layishly-on her. He has bought
her beautiful silver for her toilet table.

her initials; handsome leather trav-
cling bag completely fitted out, rugs.
books and other articles to make home
comfortable.
'<No more economizing for me-" says
the girl. ''If he invests so much in
me, we won't be so likely to quarrel,
and certainly he will not have the mon
ey to spend on another girl which is
the wisdom that rules sentiment in
these modern days.-New York Press.
