q year and enjoy comforts ana some
times even luxuries. New York gives
away the common necessities of life
with a liberal hand. And in taking ad-
vantage of this remarkable hospitality
the stranger within the city's gates
need not become necessarily an object
of charity. A great variety of comforts
are provided for the army of wanderers
that come to the city every few months

Druggists Get "Wise"
Several uptown druggists have adopted
a novel method of self protection: A
man was taken suddenly Ill at his hotel |
the other, evening and rushed to a drug
store with a p Pprescrp ton which he he Tor @
handed slip with the bottle by the drug |
clerk. What is that?" asked the custo- |

the druggist. Possibly the doctor neg |
lected to give you instructions about that |
used to be equally careless and most of
them are yet, but we finally came to be |
accused of so many mistakes of which we
oven 1na1 and th Of the drug
trade in general we established school |
of dietetics. In many cases where com
plants were made about the medicine not |
having the desired effect we were accused
of using inferior drugs, whereas it was
injudicious eating that caused the evil
results"
Concerts on Piers
At eight places in Manhattan and
Brooklyn there was begun last week a |
series of concerts. which passed off un- |
noticed by the musical critics. Each
concert was given by band of from
fourteen to twenty-five pieces and it
lasted from 8 o'clock until 1890. And
the unusual thing about all this music
week from now until the middle of next
September, to the delight of thousands
of parents who cannot afford to pay for
their music and thus enjoy it in what
one-half of New York knows as "the
musical season." The eight concerts
were given on as many recreation piers
along the water front of Manhattan and
Brooklyn. They are to be followed by
another series of similar entertain
ments for the people in the city's parks,
so that from now until the fall weather
sets in no one who lives in the greater
city can say that he cannot hear music
for he can, II he wishes to on any night
in the week at one or ten places. The
taxpayers of this city spend a great
deal of money every summer in provid-
ing music for the people. The appro-
priation for the music in the parks for
this year amounts to $4S,564. Since the
concert season on the recreation piers
is longer 1t takes more money to run it,
the seven piers on this island requiring
about $4,000, while the one in Brook
lyn takes $4,000. For this total of about
500, 900 the city gives the keenest
pleasure to many more people than the
class than can afford to pay for concert
and opera. going. On fine Sunday
afternoon in the summer, even IN Aug
ust when everyone" Is supposed to be
out of town, 1t is a common thing to
have an audience of 10000 persons
gathered In the neighborhood of the
band stand in Central park alone. The
concerts in Madison Square park attract
