Discovery of Drugs

pr. Woods Hutchinson in the November
 Hamptons Magazine.
 The mode of discovery of drugs was probably somewhat in this wise. Tn his eager, unceasing, omnivorous search for anything that would add attractive- ness to his menu In times of plenty, or stay his hunger in famine, primitive man unquestionably bit off, chewed, and endeavored to digest, almost every berry. plant, root or leaf which grew out of doors in the region in which he lived Just as his twentieth century avatar, the 2-year-old toddler, will to this day, If his designs are not frustrated by the watchfu eye of his mother or nurse. Anything within reach of his chubby clutch which is not too heavy for him to lift and whose narrowest presenting diameter is not in excess of the widest possible distenton of his rosy mouth, goes into it and will be swallowed If possible.
 Some of these near-foods were so prckly, or so bitter, that they were promptly spit out without being swal- lowed; others so dry and tasteless as to be worthless--except as breakfast foods Others could be swallowed, but wouldn t stay down. and these became emetic, and were advanced at once to a place of hcnor on the primitive medicine shelf Others showed astonishing ingenuity m escaping from the body by another - -.a. and became burgess and cathartS

BANKS PROSPEROUS
By PRESTON c ADAMS

New York, April 5.-(Special.)-Wall rtreet continues to complain of phenomi- nally dull business. The sales of stock during March were only about half what they were for the same month last year Hence we hear walls from the financial district of hard times and business de- pression.
 To those who have wide acquaintance with the real business conditions throughout the country, these calamity walls cause smiles. They believe and say that the only trouble Is that the out siders are keeping away from the spec ulation game and that the general bnsi- ness of the country is on a sound, healthy basis. with every prospect of re- maining so. This is borne out by the fact that despite the speculation dull ness in stocks are firmly held; the rail- roads are doing a good business the factories are generally running full time, end the farmers are better off than they have been for years. t.aa

NEW YORK ISA . PRETTY GOOD TOWN Not in the SOdOm and
 GomOrrak Class "A HUMOROUS POSTER Displayed at Cotton Exchange Ban- / quet Shows New York Business
 Men Have Sense of
 Humor
BY ROBERT LEE CARTER

New York, April 15.-(Special.) )-Once in
 so often, some one rises to remark that New York has Sodom and Gomorrah beaten for badness seven ways from t,i- ace. The city according to these stories | is In the grip of the thing and strong arm man, vice stalks vampant through
 the streets and the common or garden citizen is extremely fortunate if he sue
 ceeds in getting home with his personal
 belongings intact and his head un-
 cracked.
 This is all very sensational and makes
 good reading but it is somewhat over
 drawn.
 New York is not spotlesstown by jug ful. There is vice here, the burglar,
 goes a burgling and the hold-up man plies his trade and his black jack at times The excise law is violated and the man who wants to risk his money on
 the turn of a card can be accommodated. All this is true. But that New York is worse than other big cities in these re- spects I very much doubt. In fact, from
 my observation, and I have seen few | big cities in various parts of the world and the big village on the banks of the | Hudson compares most favorably with | any of them and is away ahead of most. | l think Mayor Gaynor perhaps, is 2 | little too optimistic and is not inclined to acknowledge that the city has as many faults as it really has, but on the other | hand there are those who paint condi-
 ticns in colors which are entirely, lurid. | New York Is not an earthly paradise in the absence of crime and vice, but on
 the other hand it is a long ways from being the Gehenna that some of our ner
 vous fellow citizens would have us be-
 lieve. On the whole it's a pretty good
 old town.
 | Over five hundred million dollars was | the sum loaned out on real estate in the | fcur principal boroughs of New York l city last year. Of this vast total $365S67,- | POS was placed qn Manhattan Bronx i property. $107,07o .325 on Brooklyn proper | ty and s36, GOO on Queens real estate. The total is s5C9s0o,c00. Of the 365,S67 ,G00 | leaned in Manhattan- Bronx, $17S, 900 | was from banks, title and insurance com
 panies These figures were compiled | from the Record and Guide ports. | Enormous as the totals are, they are
 smaller than the totals for the previous
 year. being sS.0O0,090 less in the case Of
 Manhattan- Bronx. So far this year the
 mortgage loans are sl.6io,no0 ahead of
 last years record The vast sum of
 five hundred million dollars which New
 York City puts out every year on real
