him. so being a king when you are
Young is not all it might be.

This year will be marked by revi
sion Of the American Pharmacopeia,
which is made once In ten years. The
occasion is, therefore, Of peculiar i'm
portance to those who are interested
In raising the standard of purity Of
drugs. The Pharmacopeia is a bulky
volume containing a list and specif-
cations of all the drugs il ordinary
use. It is the joint work of COM
mittee of the American Medical AS
ISOLATION, a committee of the Ameri-
the medical boards OF the army and
navy. Since the government has never
established any official standard of it's
| own for measuring the purity of
drugs, the PharmacopGia has been
adopted as the only available author
ity, and such legislation as has been
secured has been based upon the speci-
| fcations there laid down. Some of
these speciflcations-as for example,
that Of sodium chlorid, or common salt
are so high as to be commercially
| almost impossible Others are so
| worded as to permit serious adultera-
| lions by the trade. Certain members
of the American Medical Association
have recommended the preparation Of
a restricted list, consisting of about
three hundred drugs in common use
and approved by the majority Of medi-
cal practitioners: and that all other
| particles commonly carried in the
medical stock of a pharmacist, and
not of a proprietary nature, be includ-
ed in a separate volume or depart
ment Of the PharmacopGia. The eff
feet of this plan would be greatly to
extend the number of articles for
which a standard Of purity is estab-
lished, and at the same time not to
any special list of drugs shrdlu DIN
restrict the practising physician to
any special list of drugs "A bill has
been introduced" in Congress-unhap-
PLY that means little or nothing-so
to amend the Pure Food and Drugs
Act Of June 80, 1906, as to prevent the
sale of many preparations now on the
market. The present law, so far as
it refers to drugs, does little more
| than lay down rules for labelling; and
even they are lax

The Tfbetan Explanation.

Everyone has heard of the Chinese
myth explaining an eclipse, and the
enormous dragon that stalks through
the sky seeking to devour the sun;
but the Tibetan legend is a little DIFF
ferent, and very interesting as de-
scribed by Sven Hedin in his Trans
Himalaya." After describing the
eclipse, and the terror and depression
with which 1t was received, he says:
Then l visited Hlaje Tsering with
the corner pillars of my caravan. He
sat at his lacquered table, drinking
tea, and had his long Chinese pipe in
his mouth.
why is it that IL has just been so
dark l asked him. THE gods of the
Dangrayum-tso are angry, because you
will not allow me to visit their lake.
mo, certainly not. A big dog roams
about the sky and often conceals the
sun. But l and the lama Lobsang
have prayed all the time before the
altar, and have burned joss-sticks be-
fore the images of the gods. You have
nothing to fear; the dog has passed
on"
Very fine!" l cried, and made a
desperate attempt to explain the phe-
nomenon. Robert held up his saucer
to represent the sun, and l took two
rupees to represent the earth and
moon crossing each others orbit.
Hlaje Tsering listened attentively TO
Muhamed Isa's translation of my dem
onstration, nodded approvingly and
finally expressed his opinion that this
might do very we'll for us, but that
it did not suit Tibet.

The Languages of Paradise.

Every language has it's admirers;
in Lucille" the author, Owen Mere
dith," maintained that when he heard
French spoken as he approved he
found himself quietly falling in love"
Edward Hutton is another instance of
this lingual fascination. In stating
his preference in his enchanting
Cities of Spain" he recalls an inter
esting medieval legend. He says:
And as 1 listened to the splendid
syllables of the Castilian tongue that
rang eloquently through the twilight,
I remembered the saying of that old
Spanish doctor of whom James How
ell tells us in his instructions for
lorraine Travell," to wit, that Span
tsh, italian and French, these three
daughters of the Latin language, were
spoken in Paradise: that God Al
mighty created the world in Spanish,
the Tempter persuaded Eve in Italian,
and Adam begged pardon in French.

Telephone operators who plug wrong

times are responsible for very embar-
RAISING situations, as was exemplified
by a broker in this city the other
morning. The broker called up his
home number and said to the person
on the other end of the wire:
Hello, dear. Is that you?"
YES" replied a sweet toned voice.

all morning. l want you to come
downtown and meet me for lunch. and
We'll go to a show this afternoon

THE OLD-TIME REVIVAL,

cent innovation. In certain families
the maid is still required to remain
in the evening to light chance guests
down the stairs, for the house lights
usually are extinguished at 1920, and
the invisible janitress pulls cord
near her bed to let the people in or
out after that hour. This is tradition
and when a mistress allows her
maid entire freedom after dark she
is departing from an old custom.
The maid in France works hard and
is allowed very limited leisure; she
is supposed to have every other Sun
day afternoon and that is all. For
her services she receives the extra
ordinary sum of As or SO francs $50
or 800 month, besides her home, of

the ironing-b board when not in use.
The seat-board and back of the chair
are hinged to board which extends
across the front legs, and both are de-
tachably affixed to seat rails and back
rails. When 1t is designed to use the
affair for ironing the chair is turned
over so that it rests on the ends of
the rockers and the top of the back
rails. The seat and back are then
Strengthened out till they form one
long board and held in position by
a support which is hinged to the back
and folds down behind it when the de-
vice is used as a chair. This gives
a firm, broad surface on which to iron,
the end of the board forming the chair
back being tapered as is the end of an
ordinary ironing-board.

TOOK THE GUARDS PLACE.
DR.. ByIeS ShOuIdcred Gun and
Kept Himself from Escaping.

DR.. ByleS ShOuIdcred Gun ana
Kept Himself from Escaping.
One of the most famous of the old
Puritan divines was DR.. Mather Byles,
who was born in Boston in 1905 and
who was the first pastor of the Hollis
Street Congregational church, to
which he ministered for more than 40
years.
Dr. Byles was famous as humorist
and wit, and innumerable anecdotes
are related of his clever quips and re
torts He was a Jealous Tory and
warmly advocated the cause of 1.-The
mother country against the colonies.
In November, 1777, he was arrested as
a Tory, tried, convicted and sentenced
to be confined on board a guard ship
and sent to England with his family
within 40 days. The sentence was
afterward committed by the board of
a guard being placed over him with
instructions not to permit him to leave
his residence for moment under any
circumstances.
On Thanksgiving morning, observ-
Ing that the sentinel, who, like many
of the colonial soldiers, was a simple
rustic, had disappeared and that DE-.
Byles himself was pacing up and
down before his own door with mus
ket on his shoulder, the neighbors
crossed the street to inquire the cause
of this singular spectacle.
"Y0u SEQ - said DR. RVleS at hop0a6
my guard to let me go out to procure
some cider with which myself and
family might celebrate Thanksgiving
day, but he would not permit me to
stir. 1 argued the point with him, and
he has now gone to get the cider for
me on condition that l keep guard
over myself during his absence"
