Ilero is one of the tricks of druggists
tint their customers may well bo on the
lookout for: A man went into a drug
Store and asked tho price of a certain
emcdy of the class known as "prupri
Aary" articles. "Forty-live cents," wai
lie answer. "But,"snid the customer,
Who was in the habit of dealing with the
iruggibt to a considerable extent, "I
lave never paid more than forty at
-'," mentioning a druggist in another
fart of the city. "Well, now," said the
Iood natured druggist, "I could let yon
ave it for forty, but I like to net on tho
square, and 1 shouldn't want to charge
you five cents extra tho next timo you or
some of your family como here to got a
f rescript ion done np."
The man paid over forty-five cents
and went out, woudering how many
Mines he nnd other men had been com
pelled to wake up on one thing what
they had gavel on another. The inci
dent is mentioned in the hope of putting
ethers on their guard against a neat bt
o trick that would probably have never
Wen discovered had uot the druggist in
titration, in a moment of unconscious
frankness perhaps, given the thin? away.

An American familiar with the fact
that every house or apartment, renting
ah low as fii.'O per jvur i.i the United
States, has its own lint btu with hot
and colli water supply and waste to re
move the contents of tlio tub, U amused,
if not amazed, when on a v it-it t. Paris
he gets mi idea of the custom alii! pre
vailing in that metropolis of luxury and
elegant buildings.
The large hotels, gome very costly pri
vate mansions and apartments, and the
public bathhouses have their bathroomp,
as is the custom iu the United State,
though the French bathroom is really
much larger, and is elegantly furnished
with rugs, lounges, dres.iug tables, etc.,
the idea being that if one tafces a bath
one must lie down ami take a nap after it.
People living in apartments costing as
high as $1,000 a year, and in the new
quarter of Pai ls in the neigh horhood of
the Clumps Elyaees, when they wish to
bathe, other than take a epnnge bath in
a small tort able tub. either go to the
public bathing establishments or send
to them to have a bath brought to their
apartments. Sunday morning one sees
a htrange looking two wheeled cart likft
a very high dog cart, on which there is
a framework built over the wheels.
This framework can hold three bath
tubs. They are made entirely of copper
uiid are about ft f-et long, .') inches deep
r.t the end and 13 inches on the ride.
The driver of this vehido is perched'
tip high on a Finall i,eat in front, is bare
headed and wears a bloin Oa each
side of him an iron ring encircles a cop
per colored vessel, holding about threo
fc iUoiiiof hot water, which rests on a
little shelf. Iloa'no carries a supply of
dry towels and h beets. Tho ballon,' es
tablishments have theso carts, and when
u patron sends word that he wants a hot
bath at a crtain hour the bath is put on
the cart, the kettle filled with hot water,
and tiie cart with its strange load is
rapidly driven to tho building ia which
the apartment is.
Tlio driver carries tho bathtub, as nn
Adirondack guide carries a canoe, on
bis head and shoulders, from tho first to
the fifth floor, as the case may lie, and
after spreading a sheet to protect tho
carpet, he spreads also u clean sheet in
side of tho tub, so that the hither does
not touch tho metal. Then lie carries
up the kettle of hot water which bo has
I rougbt front tho main establishment.
The necessary cold water bo gets on the
premises, either on the same floor with
the rpartment, or in tho courtyard.
When tho bather has had his bath, tbs
attendant removes tho soiled water by
dipping it out, wipes out tho tub and '
carries it with bis let He and soiled 1
towels down stairs to hi cait. Tho 1
charge for ail this is about sixty cents,

Tho only locality in Montana which
has been at all prolific of sapphires is the
six or seven miles of placer ground be
tween Ruby and Eldorado bars 011 tho
Missouri river, sixteen miles cast of He
lena. Hero eapphires are found in gla
cial auriferous gravels wl.ilo sluicing for
gold, and until now have been consid
ered only a by product. Up to the pres
ent time they have never been systemat
ically mined. In 1S89 one company took
the option on 4,000 acres of the riv
banks, and several smaller companies
have since been formed with a view of
mining for these gems alone ur ia con.
tecl ion with gold.
The colors of the goms obtained, al
though beautiful and interesting, are not
the standard blue or red shades generally
demanded by the public ' The stones
embrace a great variety of the lighter
shades of red, yellow, blue nnd green.
The latter color is found quite pro
nounced, being rather a blue green than
an emerald green. Nearly all the stones,
when finely cut, have an apparent metal
lic luster which is strikingly peculiar to
those from this locality. Neither rea
rubies nor true blue sapphires have yet
been found. Omaha Dee.
