Book Plates.

y The question of the use Of the family
coat Of arms yexes the American very
seriously. Originally all book plates
were hera1dic. That was in an age
when people generally could not read
and when the blazon Of each family, as
shown on wearing apparel or small be-
iongings, was as well known and quick
" distinguished as an autograph or
photograph today. In the main, it Is
safe to advise Americans not to use
coat almor OH their book plates The
uncertainty Of the actual right to arms
and the extreme difficulty Of getting
drawing that one knows is undeniably
correct in every detail are strong rea-
sons against its use. Heraldry is too
exact science to admit Of liberties,
and 1t is no small achievement to draw
the coat of arms with absolute correct
ness and yet with artistic feeling.
M Though it is not very generally prac-
ticed, 1t is legal to copyright the book
plate design. At least two plates are SO
protected in this country. This would
seem to leave a door open for those who
wish to secure for themselves a per-
Son soSiial distinguishing mark, quasi
i1eraldry, for the drawing may be in
heraldic form as well as in any other

First Railroad Charter.

The first charter ever granted in this
country or probably any other for the
building Of railroad was granted in
1919 to Henry Drinker by the Pennsyl-
vania legislature for a road of that
kind from the Delaware valley to the
headwaters Of the Lehigh river over
the route now occupied by the Della
ware. Lackawanna and Western rail-
road from the Water Gap to Scranton.
That was before the days of steam,
and the wagons" that were to be run

rights it conveyed were purchased by
the original Delaware and Lackawan.

A Rare Druu.

''The price of many drugs used in
medicine is astonishing to those who
are not acquainted with the subject .
remarked druggist to a Philadelphia
Times representative. There are sew
eral that are worth their weight in gold
(about $50 an ounce, while So, S3 and
$3an ounce are quite common prices
In pharmacy. But there is one drug
that can recall which is worth more
than its weight in gold. This is pseudo
pbysostigmine. don't think that it
has a popular name. 1t is too rich for
that. In the pharmacists list it is
quoted at 81 a grain, or Si3T.50 an
ounce. The seed from which the drug
is made grows III India and Brazil, as
we'll as in parts Of South Africa. This
seed, tradition says. was once used by
native chiefs AS an ordeal. 3 The ordeal
generally resulted in the death of the
man upon whom it was tried and so it
was considered as a great truth finder
The prepared drug Is sometimes used
now in prescriptions for the treatment
of heart disease"

1ncidents In American History.

visited Ell Cumbre, short distance
from the city. and there was reminded
of an incident in American history
with which he was entirely unfamiliar
and which he is willing to bet not one
American in hundred knows any
thing about. He refers to the fact that
a vice president of the United States
took the oath of office there, being au-
thorized to do so by special act Of con-
gress. Ell Cumbre means 1.-THE summit =
