When Dead Men Ate.

In the medicalapresssis story of a
man who believed that he was. dead
and who for that reason refused to
take any nourishment ''How can: the
dead eat and drink ~ he asked when
food was pressed upon, him. It was
obvious that unless something were
done to bring him to his senses the de.
fusion must soon become actuality-he
would die Of starvation. r, The strangest
ruse was tried. Half a dozen attend
ants, draped in ghostly white, crept
silently In single file into the room adj
Joining his and with the door open sat
down where he could see them to a
hearty meal. Here, who are these
people?" inquired the patient. "Dead
men," answered the doctor. - "''What!'''4
said the other. do dead men eat?''
ITO be sure they do, as you see for
yourself, - was the answer. Well
said the corpse, "n that is SO, I'll join
them, for I'm starving" The spell was
broken, and he sat down and ate like
forty famished men.

Mistakes of Drug Clerks.


"There IS one loss sustained by drug
gists that, very few people know
about" said the experienced clerk
'.That is in the prescriptions that have
to be made over, the same as clerks,
stenographers, writer's and artists, no
matter how painstaking, frequently
have to do their work over. The most
careful drug clerk in existence Is
bound to make mistakes sometimes in
measuring and mixing.
HE may pour In too much Of some
kind Of liquid or sift in too much of a
certain powder. In most cases the
overdose would not really affect the
value Of the medicine, but the conscl
ent1ous clerk isn't going to- take any
chances Of numbering anybody, so lie
throws away the whole mixture and
makes up another prescription"
