The Drug Clerk.

In the old days the drug clerk spent
his spare moments in pounding leaves
and barks for the production of tine
lures and extracts that are now sup
piled by wholesale manufacturers.
When he had nothing else to do he
made ointment and rolled pills. The
mortar and pestle were the universal
sign of the trade. But the diverse mod
ern activities of the pharmacist more
than compensate for the earlier details
of toll. 1t is still time honored prac-
teal jest to ask the apprentice to pow
der ten pounds of camphor in a NOR
tar. After sweating at his task for an
hour or two he learns that camphor
won't powder, though it is readily sol
uble in alcohol.-New York Tribune

How the Forester Gets Its Life His
tory In Detail.
The forester reads the history of a
tree in great detail, says the American
Magazine After taking out a few
"borings'' to the center of the tree at
different heights and counting the
rings on them he may spin you such a
yarn as this:
This tree is 80 years old $50 rings
at the base. During the first five
years 1t grew only seven inches Q4o
rings, seven inches from the base)-
Evidently it then began to touch
crowns with other saplings, for it took
a squirt and put on fifteen inches
year steadily till it was forty years
old Gorty rings forty-four and One-half
feet above the grOundD. 1t was not
growing as fast as its neighbors, how
ever, for at this point it began to be
overShadowed, and its growth declined
for the next ten years to as little as
four inches a year forty-five rings at
forty-eight feet and fifty at fifty feet.
Just in time to save its life something
happened to its big neighbors, pre-
sumably a windstorm, and 1t resumed
q steady growth OF about SIX 1ncheS
year, having passed its fastest growing
time. Its growth in thickness doesn't
seem to have varied much, about an
inch every three years. But it grew
faster and faster in volume, of course,
as its height increased-a little over
cubic foot year in its prime of life, l
should judge. About thirty years ago
it reached maturity and stopped grow
ing in height thirty rings at the top
of the main stem, and now 1t is ap-
preaching old age (the last rings are
pretty thin. Hold on n minute-here's
a false ring, twenty, forty, forty-six
years back; two very thin rings

that something interrupted the growing

SITY STAR.
[Spencer, the famous Columbia university
swimming champion, now member Of
the New York A. C.'S great aquatic
squad. will race in the st. Louis
matches.1
Sept. IS, II and 10, under the auspices
of the Missouri Athletic club, andsSome
novelties have been introduced with
the sanction of the rulers of the ANA
teur Athletic union that will make the
competitions much more attractive
than ever before.
There are to be junior and intermedi-
ate swimming championships in the
national events this year, and the
scope of the meeting will thus be en-
Iarged and made more comprehensive
than in the past.
The new arrangement will put the
big swimming event of the year on
much the same plane as the national
amateur rowing regattaS.
The change, which was suggested by
the Missouri A. c. officials, has been
formally approved by the A. a. U.
experts as a long step in the direction
of making swimming competitions
more attractive to men of the second
and third rank in matters of speed.
By having the competition on the sue
ceeding days it is believed that the
championship can be made much more
representative of every section than
when the contests were spread over
succeeding Saturdays, as has been the
custom in the past. Under that ar
rangement it was necessary to have
competitors from distance remain at
the scene of the struggle for three or
four weeks in order to participate in all
events.
Few amateurs could devote so much
time to any pastime, and the result was
that the home club monopolized the
contests.
