THE SOLEMN DRUGGIST.


 That Was His Mood on the Morning
 After.'
 It is easy enough to figure out why the undertaken is solemn and dignified, but when it comes to the druggist, why should he go into the cold-storage busi- ness against his fellow men? Only in my life have seen the druggist unbend. That was when a dinner and an excur- sion was given to the United Druggists, and a few outsiders were invited.
 I shall never forget the occasion if l live to buy thousand bottles of hair restorative. I had dreaded it as a funeral feast, but it turned out to be a picnic at cut rates. Where I had looked for cold water with headache floating around in it, we had champagne which bubbled and fzzed, and where I had thought of solemn old ganders and roosters and water biscuits, we had a feast of the most rollicking kind. had never connected a druggist with oratory and here I had something new to learn. At a proper moment the President arose and made a most brilliant speech. I know it was brilliant because we all whooped and yelled. know it was also facetious because we all pounded on the table and laughed and cheered.
 Then a toast was given. It was: Don't let your druggist make you be-

coIn ANn INsEcT LIFE.


 The severest cold has no terrors for insect life It has been shown by ex- periments that insects may be artiil- ally or naturally frozen subjected in- deed, to very low temperatures, without killing or even injuring them Eggs. larvae and pupae. the stages in which most insects pass the winter, are per fectly immune to cold
 It is a common idea that eocoons of insects serve as a protection against cold. but this is entirely erroneous. They, like the summer webs. Of webworms. are a protection against birds and insect parasites. but not against cold. The coccoons of summer broods are as stout and thick as those of the generations that pass the winter. Moths. butterflies and other irl- sects build stouter and more compact cocoons in tropical and torrid countries than they do in those climates where they are besieged by winter. There are many insects, allied to the builders oi cocoons, that make TO such covering the pupa or the chrysalis being. left en- tirely exposed. And so little heat is maintained by the papae of insects that

 Certain degrees of frigidity seem to have vastly different effects on different species of insects Chats and midges dance in the winter sunshine; butter flies. Vanessa Grapta and sometimes Colias, skim over the snow; wasps and bees wind their way through the leafiess woods; ground beetles run quickly over the cold earth; crickets peep from be- heath stones and rotting logs. while other species. the vast majority. in fact. are locked in the lethargy or hiberna- tion.

A QUICK RESPONSE.

Dan Sully is getting a response from his educational" circular the cir cular which he sent out for the purpose of enligtening cotton spinners and cot ton growers and cotton manufacturers as to the ways and means of educating the masses up to high prices for cotton. It has been an educational campaign, but not quite in the direction MT. Sully intended. He could not have awakened public sentiment quicker, and his inten- tion been to do so, than he did by the issuance of his educational circular. This circular showed the lack of breadth and perception and keenness of MT. Sully's mind, and 1t carries out the many predictions made that the man is not big enough to sustain his end. It might not be safe to say that already the roof of the temple is the tumbling about his head but he certainly has un- dermfned some of it's columns and it is a question of time only before the walls and fthe roof will fall. The people of the country are being awakened to the fact that it is essential to have some legislative restrictions which will pre- vent dishonest manipulations of staple commodities. The daily press is sup porting us in our advocacy of restric- tive legislation, of laws which will put stop to gambling in cotton. The movement on the Exchange this week accentuates and emphasizes the neces- sity of legislation, of taking the staple out of the hands of pernicious specula- ton. Cotton was forced up to 17.42 it has reached in many years, higher than the average of war prices, and it reached the dizzy height merely to top pie falling quickly to 15.20. Such a fiuc- tuation would not be possible in a market where demand was purchasing for consuming requirements. He would be a fool who would contend that the prices were forced to F cents, or 1t cents. or even to 15 cents. because the requirements of the manufacturers were such as to accentuate the scarcity oi cotton. And again the curse of stock exchange speculative operations is seer in the record of the present week, anc it nullifies every beneficent endeavor ot cotton exchanges. The pity is that ths laws are so lax that Dan Sully anc his cohorts can manipulate the market Textile Manufacturers Journal

iieve that something else is just as good and t was responded to by that old Roman, my family druggist. As near as ! could make out by that time. the champagne having passed several times, there were two of them. don't remember whether his speech began with the building Of the pyramids or the digging of the Erie canal. but it was funny-real funny. I saw men laugh till they had to be thumDed on the back, and when the old Roman sat down he was b0mbarded all along the table with biscuits.
 There were other toasts and other speeches. I couldn't make out at that time why two men should get up every time to speak. and why they looked just alike and their voices were just the same, but have since learned that champagne sometimes acts that way on beginner. There wasn't the slightest approach to funerality. Even the druggist who had brother in the grave-digging business made such a jolly speech about Washington crossing the Delaware that we continued to yell l One man did start out to stem the tide by getting off something about humanity not being long for this world, but his audience took his remarks wrong end to and laughed him down land out.
 I don't exactly remember when or how the banquet broke up. or how Imany were left on the island behind lme. but next morning I felt it my duty
 to drop in and compliment my family
 druggist on his great speech. I could Iplainly recall all the deliciously funny
 points and I was laughing over then Iagain when entered the store and

the storm under the lodges of the Little Falls. While there his attention wasat- tracted to what seemed to be round, brown powder partly covered with moss. Carelessly it gave forth ahol- low sound. His curiosity being excited. he dug away the earth with his hunting knife and soon laid bare a symmetric- ally formed earthen jar.
 The jar stands ten inches high. At Its largest circumference it measures thirty inches, and at it's smallest twen- ty inches. The circumference of the top or mouth of the jar measures twen- ty-four inches.
 The vessel on the inside bears signs of use, but the outside shows no trace of fire, as is usual in Indian jars. The bot tom is rounded. The ornamentation around the top is of the usual style of the Mohawk pottery-that is, a series of straight and diagonal lines. The jar still bears the moss that had ghthered on the rounded bottom that was ex- posed above the earth.
 The jar is we'll preserved specimen of Mohawk pottery, and is rare on ac-
 count of the shape of the top, which is cut in three curves, forming three points
 which give it a triangular appearance. It is singular fact that the three
 largest specimens of Indian pottery now Tn the valley were found in the lake re- zion of the foothills of the Adirondacks the Richmond jar, the Hanson jar and the Horracks jar.
 The HorraclSs jar is in the possession
 of W. Max Reid for the present and is an interesting study. It is not as large as the Hanson jar, but to those inter- ested in the life and affairs of the
 orlginal Americans is of equal value. I-Amsterdam Morning Sentinel.
