The Spoonful of Medicine.

The past three decades have wit
messed great advances in the methods
of preparing and especially Of stand
ardizing medicines, but this advan-
tage is liable to be rendered nugatory
by the failure to divide the ingre-
dents of prescription into the indi-
Gated number of doses. And this Is
only one of the sources of error incl
dental to the question Of the dosage
of medicines. 1t has often been
pointed out in The Lancet that the ca
pacity of domestic spoons varies with
in very wide limits.
Graduated medicine glasses are
relatively seldom employed, with the
result that the patient usually takes
considerably more or less of the med
icine than was intended by the physi-
clan. But the public will continue to
use the domestic spoon so long as
medicines are ordered to be taken by
spoonfuls.
The difficulty could be met by the
adoption of the following simple plan.
In writing prescriptions let the doses
be given in drachms, half ounces and
ounces. The patient, being ignorant
of the equivalent In spoonfuls, would
then be obliged to procure proper
measure. At present the situation is
"Gilbertian." A correct diagnosis
and nicely balanced prescription,
dispensed from the purest drugs STAN
dardized to high degree of accur-
acy, are muddled, or possibly rem
dered useless or dangerous by the
use OF inaccurate medicine bottles
and still more inaccurate domestic
spoons.-From The Lancet.

Desert Plants.

DR.. D. T. MacDougal tells some in
teresting things in the Fifth Year
Book of the Carnegie Institution Of
Washington about the water storage
organs of desert plants. In regions
where rain falls scantily for brief
period, the remainder OF the year be-
ing dry. the plants possess special
storage organs at the base Of the
stems, which lie unchanged during
the hot season, but quickly put out
roots, shoots, fruits and seeds during
the brief time of the rains. Some Of
these storage organs, kept dry on a
museum shelf since 1902, have every
year, at period corresponding to the
rainy season in their native habitat,
produced thin stems, which quickly
die. In some cases five years. growth
has been made with the aid Of water
stored up in 1901, and the storage
organs are still sound.-Youth's Com

Church of the Holy Trinity, Brook

I'VE Americans have altogether
too much" he declared. Our men
are greedy for wealth, and they will

of costly rugs and tapestries, and

Destroying Drud6ery.
BY oRIsoN SWEET MARDEN.

No matter how humble your work
may seem, do It in the spirit Of an
artist, of master. In this way you
lift It out Of commences and rob It Of
what would otherwise be drudgery.
You will find that learning to thor
oughly respect everything you do,
and not to let 1t 60 out Of your hands
until it has the stamp Of your ap-
prevail upon 1t as a trade mark, will
have wonderful effect upon your
whole character.
The quality of your work will have
a great deal to do with the quality
of your life. II your quality is down,
your character will be down; your
standard down, your ideals down.
The habit of insisting upon the. best
of which you are capable, and of al
ways demanding Of yourself the high
est, never accepting the lowest, will
make all the difference between me-
diocrity, or failure, and successful
career.
II you bring to your work the spirit
of an artist, instead of an artisan
II you bring burning zeal, an all
absorbing enthusiasm-if you deter
mine to put the best there is in you
in everything you do, no matter what
1t is, you will not long be troubled
with sense of drudgery. Everything
depends on the spirit we bring to the
task. The right spirit makes an
artist in the humblest task, while the
wrong spirit makes an artisan in any
calling, no matter how high.
There is a dignity, an indescriba-
BILE quality of superiority, in every
thing we do which we thoroughly and
honestly respect. There Is nothing
belittling or mental which has to be
done for the welfare of the race.
You cannot afford to give the mere
dregs, the mere leavings of your en-
ergies, to your work. The best in you
is none too good for it.
1t is only when we do our best,
when we put joy, energy, enthusiasm
and zeal into our work, that we really
grow; and this is the only way we
can keep our highest self-respect
We cannot think much of our
selves when we are not honest in
our work-when we are not doing
our level best. There Is nothing
which will compensate you for loss
of faith in yourself. for the knowledge
of your capacity for doing bungling,
dishonest work.
You have something infinitely
higher in you to satisfy than to make
a mere living, to get through your
days work as easily as possible. That
Is, your sense Of the right, the de-
mand in you to do your level best.
to call out the best thing in you, to
be a man, to do the square thing.
This should speak so loudly in you
that the mere bread-and-butter ques-
ton, the money-making question,
should be Insignificant in comparison.
From Success.

The Evolution Of
Household Remedies.

The modern patent medicine bust
ness is the natural outgrowth Of the
old.time household remedies.
In the early history of this country,
EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS HOME.
MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas,
bitters, laxatives and tonics, were to be
found in almost every house, compound
ed by the housewife, sometimes assisted
by the apothecary or the family doctor.
Such remedies az picra, which was
aloes and quassia, dissolved in apple
brandy. Sometimes a hop tonic, made
Of whiskey, hops and bitter barks. A
score or more Of popular, homemade
remedies were thus compounded, the
formulate for which were passed along
from house to house, sometimes written,
sometimes verbally communicated.
The patent medicine business is a
natural outgrowth from this whole
some, old-time custom. In the begin
ming, some enterprising doctor, i'm.
pressed by the usefulness Of one OF
these homemade remedies, would take
it up, improve it in many ways, manu-
facture it on large scale, advertise it
mainly through almanacs for the home,
and thus it would become used over a
large area. LATTERLY THE HOUSE

Peruna is useful in great many
climatic ailments, such as coughs, colds,

treatment of these ailments. They

Scoop out q little hollow In the char

light the candle, take the charcoal

pipe in the other, with the large end
OF the blow-pipe between the lips;
blow the fame OF the candle steadily
against the bit of White Lead on the

How Her Life Was Saved When Bit

How few people there are who are
not afraid Of snakes. Not long ago
q harmless little garter snake fell on
the wheel of an automobile which
was being driven by woman. The
woman promptly tainted and the car,
left to its own resources, ran into a
stone wall and caused a serious acci-
dent.
The bite OF a poisonous snake
needs prompt attention. Mrs. K. M.
