Drug Named After Greek

In classic myth Morpheus was rep
resented as the son of Somnus, the
god Of sleep. Morpheus himself was
the god, Of dreams. He was supposed
to fabricate the dreams that visit
sleepers. He was pictured as an old
man with wings. and holding vial
or horn from which issued vapor
which produced sleep. The name Nor
pheus is derived from a Greek word
which means to shape or form, and
the name was given TO the god of
dreams because Of the shapes or forms
which he calls up before the dreamer.
The word morphine, the name of a
sleep-producing drug, comes from Nor
pheus.-Kansas City Times.

The three most common silver

latter called sterling silver. Our

Brazil, Turkey and others issue their
gold coin upon the 22-carat basis (916

modern times is the Austrian gold
