The American Tourist.

Every summer Americans OVerrun
Europe in numbers never equaled be-
fore" And every summer European
newspapers, especially the English,
discover that the American tourist is
bad-mannered, that the father of the
family cheWs cigars, that the mother
is uneducated, and the daughter loud
voiced. An American at home who
reads these accounts of his touring
countrymen wonders at first whether
the dignified gentleman who was to
leave his business and spend a sum-
mer in England did not go, after all.
What has become of that gentle
school teacher who had saved her
money for three years to make her
pilgrimage to Shakespeares country
and Scots? Just where in that out
rageous throng of "Amurrican" tour
lists are our own best friends who
sailed In June? The last time we saw
them they did not chew gum, nor vio-
late the English language further than
10 use the word guess" racily and
correctly, nor talk with indecent ia.
miliarity to the employees of hotels.
Then 1t occurs to us, remarks Youths
Companion, that many American trav-
elerS do not speak loud enough for
the natives to discover that their
speech is American. Our countrymen
abroad are visibly and audibly repre-
Sented by the kind of person that we
dislike at home. In the same way
the conditions of New York society
are portrayed in European papers by
I Ories of political corruption and the
HeW eccentricities of the many mil.
honaires. Normal events do not make
sensational press dispatches. The
unusual is seen and chronicled Ameri-
cans who do not enjoy the reports of
the impressions which their country
men make upon Europeans have only
to recall our own strange notion that
Frenchmen gesticulate like jumping
Jacks, and that Englishmen are humor-
less persons in loud-checked suits.

USED BY THE DOCTORS,
Ninety Per Cent of the Drugs Pre-.
scribed Are Patent Medicines,

Despite the opposition of physicians
especially of those whose experience
has been neither far reaching nor
profitable, to patent medicines, nine
ty per cent of all drugs that physl.
clans use are put up and compounded
by manufacturing commensurate, in
fact, patent" medicines just as truly
as if they were advertised in the
newspapers.
The average doctor knows little OF
nothing Of pharmacy and is, there
fore, glad to depend on the very med.
cines, which in public he condemns,
just as he is obliged in many cases
to depend on the diagnosis of the pa.
tient himself, even while publicly de.
crying what he calls "self-diagnosis."
How rapid has been the growth of the
professional use of patent" or PRO
prietary" medicines is shown in an
article written for the Journal of the
American Medical Association for
September 80, 1906, by A. jacob, NJ
D., Ii. D. He relates that $4,000 pre-
scriptiOns, compounded in several
drug stores were carefully examined
From 1850 to 1870 no prescription was
found for patent or proprietary
medicines. In 1874 but one prescrip
ton in 1900 called for ready-touse
remedies. Between 1875 and 1880 the
number calling for patent" or PRO
prietary" medicines equalled two per
cent of the total. This increased to
5 per cent in the period between 1850
and 1890. In 1895 it was II per cent,
in 1898 it was Is per cent, and in 1902
1903 was from 20 to % per cent.
DR.. jacob says that in a large
store he was assured that 70 per cent
Of the prescriptions were for patent
or proprietary" medicines, and this
probably is approximately the correct
proportion at the present time. From
this 1t would seem that if the patent
and proprietary" medicines are good
enough for physicians to prescribe u
seven cases out of ten they are good
enough for family use in cases Of
necessity and where the symptoms
are well known and as easily under
stood by the people as by the doc
tors.

The Fetish of Thoroughness.

A perfect hOuSekeeper may not be
a real hOmemaker Her kitchen and
bedrooms may be spOtless and her
dinners fit for an epicure; but if she
never has an hour for reading, or
leisure to play with her children or to
talk with her husband, she is a failure
as wife and mother. Somewhere be-
tween perfection and slovenliness
there lies a golden mean. To reach
it housewife must learn to turn off
work, and to distinguish between the
Kind of work which may be sighted
and the kind which must be done with

used to be the motto of a wise wO-
man, who preferred clothes free from
CRIME and streak to carefully futed
frills and starching that would stand
alone. There are houses where the
fetish Of thOrOughness demands a
daily sacrifice, Just as there are other
houses where the dragon of laziness
and disorder devours both comfort
and affection. An old cOlored "mam-

getting work done. Nobody ever knew
exactly how or when her miracles

living flower Of her dead mother and
all his dead hopes.
Presently he saw Prudence coming
across the fields in the late afternoon
from the road that led to the canyon.
He watched her jealousy until she
drew near, then called her to him. In
few words he told her very gravely
the honor that was to be done her.
When she fully understood, he noted
that her mind seemed to attain an
unusual clearness, her speech a new
conciseness; that she was displaying
force Of will he had never before
suspected.
Her reply, in effect, was that she
would not marry Brigham Young if
all the angels in heaven came to en-.
treat her; that the thought was not a
pretty one; and that the matter might
be considered settled at that very mo.
ment. tits too silly to talk about.
she concluded.
Almost fearfully he looked at her,
yielding little to her spirit of rebel
lion, yet trying not to yield; trying
not to rejoice in the amused fash of
her dark eyes and the decision of her
tones. But then, as he looked, and
as she still faced him, radiant in her
confidence, he felt himself going with
her-plunging into the tempting wave
Of apostasy.
