Shepherd Plaid Silks.

We have had them in store for two
weeks but just neglected to mention
them. They are undoubtedly one ol
the most fashionable fabrics used in
the East to-day for street wear. We
have the little black and white
Shepherd plaid and the medium size
black and white Shepherd plaid in the
new weave OF Louisine Silks; they are
soft, very durable and pretty in effect.
Price you will find lower than any
city store offers them in Ohio. They
are not only used for waists but are
used for whole dresses. We would
suggest that you take q look through
the line. II. M. ANNAT.

A Rare Drug,

The price of many drugs used in
medicine is astonishing to those who
are not acquainted with the subject" :"
remarked a druggist to n Philadelphia
Times representative. There are sev
eral that are worth their weight in gold
about $50 an ounce, while s.. 50 and
s. an 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
physoStigmne. | don't think that 1t
has a popular name. 1t is too rich for
that. In the pharmacists list it Is
quoted at s grain, or SI3T.J0 an
ounce. The seed from which the drug
is made grows In India and Brazil. as
well as in parts of South Africa. This
seed, tradition says, WIS once used by
native chiefs as an ordeal. The ordeal
generally resulted in the death of the
man upon whom it was tried and so il
was considered as a great truth finder.
The prepared drug is sometimes used
now in prescriptions for the treatment
of heart disease"

First English Book on Sport.

The first book on sport ever printed
In the English language was rhymed
treatise called the "Boke of ST. NJ.

Juliana Berners. Its second edition was
printed by Wynkyn de Wordc IN l4g6.

CHRONICLES. 1t Is true that old manu-
scripts existed, such as the 'Venerie
de Twecy" of the time Of Edward H..
but it was Dame Juliana who was the
real ancestress Of sporting literature
in England, for she alsO composed an
essay on hawking and another on
Fishing With an Angle" the last be-
