PARADISE FOR QUACKs.
Free Play in Sale of Patent Medicine in
ENGLAND

Great Britain is the happy hunting
ground of the medical quack, if one can
believe member of the Chemists Asso-
citation of London. He is quoted in
Derrick's British Report as saying that
two years ago the annual sale of pro-
prietary medicines in Great Britain
amounted to $4OO0O,OOO
In the United States and in most Eu-
rOpean countries some legislation either
exists or has been attempted to limit or
to stop the traffic in secret remedies In
England, based on the principle of non
interference, absolute free play is given
to it. 1t has been found expedient for
the safety of the public to regulate the
sale OF poisons, but patent medicines,
curiously enough, were exempt from tie
provisions of the law, a privilege which
they enjoy together with legally qualified
practitioners.
In most countries the dealing in medi-
cinal drugs and chemicals is reserved
only to persons qualified by training,
studies and examination-that is, to
pharmacists. In England, by a curious
misunderstanding of the functions of a
pharmacist, he is recognized by law
merely as a poison seller" and any one
who pleases may supply the public with
medicines the identity or purity or Their
apeutic value of which he may be abso-
lutely ignorant, and by the simple de-
vice of packing them as a medicine and
keeping the composition secret he is able,
by means of advertisement, to substitute
himself for competent and qualified med
ical and pharmaceutical service.

If the Sun Were Blue.

If the sun were blue there would be
only two colors in the world, blue AND
black; or if it were red, everything would
be red and black. In the latter case
there would be red snow, red lilies, black
grass, black clear sky and red clouds
There would be a little variety, however
If the sun were green. Things that are
now yellow, would still remain that col
or, but there would be no reds, PUPPIES
oranges, or pinks, and very few of those
CHEEKY hues that make the world bright
and pleasant. Besides color the tempera-
ture of this earth would be very much
hanged.-Indianapo News.

Birds in a Hotel.

There is a hotel aviary in New York
that is unique. At the Navarro it is
not uncommon to see the manager of
the hotel during the fashionable dinner
hour walk into the big dining room with
one or two little oriental sparrows
perched either on his head or his Shout
ders Some of the birds are so accus-
toned to going to the big dining room,
that it is not unusual to see some of the
regular guests feeding them at the differ
ent tables. There are fully a hundred
birds in cages scattered throughout the
lobby and dining rooms, and every one
is a perfect singer.

mony arose from a fire which broke
out in the synagogue a few days ago.
A lighted candle fell against the silk
curtains before the Ark Of the Cove
nant, which began to burn, and II
parchment scrolls of the law contained
in the ark were completely destroyed.
In accordance with the Hebrew rit-
ual, the council of the synagogue ar
ranged a funeral with as much cere-
mony as for a deceased member. The
ashes of each scroll were carefully col
lected and placed in separate earth
en- urns, and then all the IL rms were
inciosed in a wooden coffin, together
with a black and white book of pray
ers. This was placed on a hearse.

will be towed back and forth by oil

the steel hawser of one of the barges
has a length of 5000 feet Is cited as
evidence Of the danger Of the new
