Charles c. Druedling has written
an article for the American Journal
OF Pharmacy on the subject Of cham
oils skins. What is known in the
market as chamols skins, he says,
Is really an obtained sheep or lamb
skin lining. The supply OF skins
from the chamois animals Is very
limited enough could not be obtain
ed in a year to supply the United
States for more than single day.
He made special inquiry on a recent
visit to Switzerland about the an
nual crop of the chamois skin and
ascertained that from 5000 TO 5000
skins would be fair average yearly
crop. This skin is heavier than the
skin of the sheep or lamb, also much
coarser. For strength and durability
the channels skin is preferable, but
for ordinary use and appearance the
obtained sheepskin lining would, In
most instances, be preferred.

Worst of All.
(Raleigh Evening Tinles.)

Under the caption of Worst OF
All Poisons" the New York Ameri-
can prints this brief but grasping
editorial temperance lecture:
'They say that the man found
dead, under weird circumstances, in
a gilttering hotel, took poison, and
the chemists will make an analysis
to learn exactly what kind of poison
it was. But the real poison the man
took was alcohol, the most alluring
and most destructive of poisons.
''It allures because it has the
double quality Of deadening and IN
tensifying. 1t deadens happiness by
intensifying pleasure. But, while
misery can be danced down with wine,
women and song, the fugitive from
unhappiness awakens trembling and
chained to the gray rock of remorse.
And remorse is worse than mere un-
happiness.
Everything is gray and shudder-
ing, and the wretched man breaks
the chain and sobers up in eternity!
