1.-The use of quinine is growing
apace on the part of the general pub
hc." Edward d. Driscon, pharmacist,
tells me, land a large number of the
people possess a veritable craze for it
They dose themselves with quinine
on the slightest provocation, and APP
pear to regard 1t as a universal cure
all. Not only is it demanded for colds
and fevers, but for stomach disorders
and a score of other ills.
Zone customer of mine recently be-
came slightly nauseated after eating.
and he took quinine, in the full be-
lief that it would put a period to the
sick feeling. while another entertains
a theory that quinine is good for the
kidneys and takes the drug regularly
when he fancies there is anything
wrong with his organs. These are just
a few of the foolish beliefs that many
people entertain regarding Quinine. 1
could quote scores of ideas about its
use for other physical troubles if it
were necessary. How such beliefs
have ever sprung up 1 cannot imagine,
but 1 know persons who dose them.
selves with quinine for everything
from a pain in their foot to pneumo
mia.
This is the time of year when the
craze for Quinine is most noticeable,
and I think the people ought to know
that while it is a good thing for GER
tain ailments, when ,aken under the
direction of a physician, it has some
what injurious effects when taken pro-
miscuously and for any old trouble
whatever. If the heart is weak a
heavy dose of quinine will have a bad
effect on it, producing palpitation in
many cases. 1t will also cause head
aches, congestion in the nasal passages
and quite a few olher ills."-St Louis

THE OLD AUTOGRAPH ALBUM.

The links of Memory's clinging chain
That, with its meshes, binds me fast
To days that cannot come again,
There is no prize more precious than
This booklet; thoughtfully L scan
Its yellow pages, scrubbed Ger
BY many whom L knew of yore.
Here a refrain expressing love
Beneath the picture Of dove,
And here a half sarcastic quip,
All traced in childish penmanship.

No knife can cut our love in two"

A name once passing dear to me.
Across the past my memory flies

Within my own that summer day.

And what a knife could never do

Accomplished by the reaper's hand.

What were existence without thee7
For art thou not the magic key
With which we penetrate the seal
That locks away the musty past
And, in our leisure moments, steal
Great solace from that storeroom vast
Bereft of thee, how man would grope
Into the futures unknown scope,
AS up some storm-swept, rocky slope,
The shipwrecked mariner doth crawl,
Before him dread uncertainty,
Behind, the cruel, yawning sea
And darkness hanging over all.

substitute for Diamond Drills.

The price Of black diamonds, used
for core rock drills, having risen in
forty years from three dollars to fifty
dollars per carat, a substitute for them
has long been sought, says the Youths
Campanion. One such substitute is
furnished by the shot drill, invented by
Mr.. Davis. an Australian. In this ma
chine the place of the diamond-cutters
is taken by chilled steel shot, fed
through a hollow rod in the drill, which
wear away the rock by a crushing or
grinding action. A machine, recently
tested in New York, easily cut through
a mass of brick and cement, and even
through embedded plates of cast iron,
making smooth cores of four feet In
