Formal Place With Much Pharmaceu-

New York-Dr. Edward Willard
Watson, in contribution to recent
issue of Medical Notes and Queries,
takes up the query: what is an
ethical drug. store?" Here is his an
swer:
Ethical preparations we know.
They are, for the most part, urged up.

firms and the name of their assiduous
agents is legion; they come when we
are most busy and we cast them out.
Ethical prescriptions are prescriptions

Drift From hlah Tariff.

The drift Of the country away from
the high tariff position is strikingly
illustrated by the experience of Sem
ator Hepburn Of Idaho, with stand
pat speech before the members of the
Silk Manufacturers association of
America at New York Saturday night.
His attacks on the Canadian reciproc-
ity agreement met now chilly 81
lence and again shouts of disapproval.
When he launched into a general
eulogy of the schedules and declared
that those present would starve to
death If protection were withdrawn,
there were cries of II guess not" fol-
lowed by shouts of laughter. The re-
ports say that after the meeting
good deal of sharp comment was
heard among the groups of manufac-

London.-Sir William Ramsay, the

tation of radium, gave his experiences

lowing the experiment at Abort, near
Paris. of Prof. Gabriel Petit, who says
he found that an old horse In whom
radium had been injected received q

TONES TO SUPPLANT WORDS

Where are you going?" the upper
tone would be upon the you"
Miss Truslow states that the Amer
leans as rule speak with closed
throat. which is not only very inhar.
monious, but is deadening to the voice
and causes person of thirty to speak
like one OF fifty.
The old Italian method of singing
emphasized the importance Of the
open throat. Other methods have
come and gone. but this has survived
as the true method of bel canto."
All the words are formed on the lips
and as far to the front OF the teeth as
possible. In this way correct speak
.er can often be understood by the
movement of his lips alone.
Nasal, throaty and harsh voices are
all caused by the tone being produced
in either the nose, throat or chest. A
child who is shown how to place each
tone correctly will always do SO
through force Of habit.
The children are reported as taking
readily to the new order of things in
the schools and lectures have been
given on the subject before various
clubs in the city.

Panic In Gloucester.

The people Of Gloucester. Mass, are
reported in vigorous protest against
the proposed Canadian reciprocity.
Flags in the harbor are at half-mast,
city council and civic organizations
are holding frenzied meetings. citi-
zens are excited and alarmed. AL this
because the town fears that the adj
mission Of free Canadian fish will ruin
Its own industry. These patriotic fish,
ermen fear that new deserted vii
lage" may appear on the map.
In other words. the people of Glou-
cester are ready to admit that they
have lived and thrived all these years
upon subsidy. The entire nation has
been, taxed for the support Of an In
dustry that was only in part self-sus-.
tanning. In order to make Gloucester
prosperous community, the millions
have been forced to contribute pay
ing for something they did not get.
Gloucester, of course, is more
alarmed than the facts warrant. But
accepting the situation as 1t appears
to her own excited imagination, there
is in 1t much food for thought by the
people Of the United States &

No diver has taken his daily chance

and summer, this doughty descendant
of the Norsemen has done his work in
the depths of the sea. His first dive

ORIGIN OF CLASSIC YELL
"she Burns Green" Expression Of
Aaron Winters Who Discovered
Borax In Death Valley.

Although the prospector is generally
supposed to- be associated with the
search for precious metal his attention
Is by no means confined to that. A
writer tells of group of valuable
claims In the Silver mountain mining
district, which includes the whole Of
Black mountain.
1t was long considered worthless un-
til an up-to-date prospector recognized
it as cement rock" the principal In
gredient from which portland cement
is made.
Another example is furnished by the
discovery OF borax in Death valley,
one Of the most valuable strikes ever
made in California. The discoverer,
Aaron Winters, was at that time living
in q lonely little shack on the Amar-
gosa fats at the south end OF the val.
ley.
Thither, attracted by the light. came
one night a vagrant prospector from
Nevada. He had with him a sample Of
borax brought from a small deposit
across the border. This Winters In
stantly recognized as being the same
curious stun which he had seen ~
ing in great beds in Death valley.
but of which he had never known the
name.
Adroitly questioned, the wanderer
explained to Winters the simple but
little known test for borax. No soon.
er was their visitor safely gone than
Winters and his wife, carrying food
and water, a pick, saucer and bot
tie of alcohol, set out on foot north
ward int the valley. AT nightfall the
next day they arrived at the first Of
the strange beds.
Without even waiting to moisten his
parched throat Winters fell upon 1t with
pick and bare hands till little of the
surface crust was removed. He scraped
up handful Of the loose stun, piled It
In the saucer, moistened It with al
cohol and struck a match. An instant
later he hurled his hat in one direc-
ton, his pick In another, and SELLING
his wife, waltzed that astonished lady
round the strange, Pickering flame,
whooping:
she burns green. Rosie! She burns
green!"
Winters realized fortune from his
discovery. Even today the man OF the
valley lighting upon something new
heralds his find with the classic yell:

at the easement and kissed her hand.
The rest was easy.
OF course. Jay Gould didn't know at
nrst that the pretty maid In the flower
booth at the Actors Fund Fair was a
little princess. He wasn't bothering
his head about that. but he did know
right away that her black eyes snapped
roguishly. that she smiled sweetly and
that her voice was like music in his
ears when she asked: Who'll buy my
roses?" He very promptly assured
her that he'd buy 'em. Thereupon he
became regular. almost persistent
cash customer He purchased ,bouton-
nieres. bouquets and baskets, singly
and in lunches. sent them to the hos
pitfalls and returned for more-for an
entire week he lived in the perfume
of that one booth. That wasn't all
he fell head over heels In love.
So the third romance among George
Gould's children began among flowers,
like the Kanaka romance which the
old-time Hawaiians Groom in song.
The pretty maid Of the flower booth

according to the royal who's who Of
Hawaii-of the last reigning family.
Liliuokalani, the last queen Of Hawaii,
Is her remote cousin. She is the
daughter Of Princess Kaikilani. Her
father was Douglas Graham. The mar
riage of Graham and the princess was
something of college romance.
Young Graham was a student at
Princeton, and among his classmates
was a Hawaiian prince who was NOV
ing toward the theological field. The
elder Graham, who was Junior partner
in Hartley 6 Graham. the famous firm
Of gunsmiths, took an interest in the
young Hawaiian and arranged with
him to become a companion of his
classmate in a tour of the world. Nat
urally the tourists visited Honolulu,
where the youth was received by the
royal family. He was presented to his
classmates sister, the young and beau,
tiful Princess Kaikilani, and they fell
in love with each other. Before an
other year had passed the Princeton
youth had proposed to the. Hawaiian
maiden and she accepted him.
How are you going to arrange it?"
asked one of Graham's college chums.
"She is princess, and you
"And l am Princetonian, he inter
rupted. THAT makes 1t all right. Any
Princetonian ought to be able to mar
ry princess"
Following the marriage, which was
attended by representatives Of the
royal family Of Hawaii. Graham and
his island princess came to New York
to live. Their home for some years
was in the fashionable old part of
West Twelfth street. Whenever
Hawaiian dignitaries came to New
York they were Hospitality entertained
there, and on several occasions Mrs.
Graham gave little parties modelled
after native celebrations, to which
many polite New Workers. were hidden.
In the early nineties domestic
shadow fell athwart the Graham home.
Mrs. Graham found 1t necessary to ask
the courts to intervene in her behalf.

Tho New Reciprocity Treaty.

uU0 wow NVCbPtoSiky stVdkys
For the first time In more than flfty
years the governments Of the United
States and Canada have been able to
prepare trade agreement that both
parties to the negotiation believe will
prove acceptable to the people and In
crease the already great business
passing over the border. The attempt
to drive the Dominion into the Union
has been definitely abandoned. The
abrogation Of the reciprocity treaty in
1866, the long period Of VIGOROUSLY
hostile tariff legislation eliminating
in the Mckinley and Dingley tariff
acts, the constant friction over fish
cries and boundaries and bonding
privileges and allen labor laws-all
these have ended in acknowledged de-
feat. Canada has grown and pros
pered in spite Of them. and Washing
ton has at last had the grace to ae-
knowledge that the Dominion must
hereafter be treated as the nearest
neighbor and one Of the best Scus-
toners of the republic should have
been! treated long ago.
It Is asserted In some quarters on
this side OF the boundary that there Is
an Interior motive behind the change
of attitude of the United States, and
that, having discovered that Canada
could not be coerced, the political
strategists south of the line are now
seeking to cajole and bride her into.
the Union. That may be the motive.
although there is no evidence Of 1t.
but anyone who believes that Canada's
future depends on tariffs or trade
agreements knows nothing, OF the In
tense love of country that Is develop
ing among the rising generation, the
patriotic spirit nothing material can
destroy or even shake.-Toronto

When she had obtained divorce she
lived for several years in comparative
retirement. devoting herself to the
education Of her children. About ten
years ago Mrs. Graham married HUI
bert Vos, the Dutch portrait painter.
Mrs. Voss portrait in her Hawaiian
costume is familiar in exhibitions OF
the painters canvasses.
Miss Graham, who, on April 81, in
st. Thomas's church, will become the
wife of Jay Gould, is, like her mother,
of the exotic type Of beauty. She is
finely educated and possesses a mod
est fortune. The language Of Hawaii
is not unfamiliar to her. She knows
the story of the islands like book.
She knows the Hawaiian traditions
and Its quaint mythology.
Processes have always been credit
ed with possessing mysterious influ-
ence with the gods who, according to
the simple natives. rule over the ISL
ands Of the sea. When Capt. Cook, the
British globe-girdler, discovered the
Hawaiian Islands in the closing days
of the eighteenth century nearly every
island in the group had Its own
.breech-clouted potentate. They were
as fine lot Of South Sea knights as
