the milliners for advertising or print

his own. He experimented in a thousand-ways.
He lived in the office al

way, making a matrix from blotting
paper. Desiring to do his work better,
he tried to buy proper materials far
stereotyping, but he was bluffed so easily
by the prices or talk given him by the
dealers that for many years he supposed
he was the victim of some infamously
jealous trusts.
A tramp printer from Chicago made
him believe that gasoline could be
made. The Chicago man pointed to a
big can of the fluid and insisted that he
had.-made it. Gasoline was high priced
then. The devil sold the gasoline the
printer said he had made to a rival
office, and the two divided the money.
"iTake some more," said the devil.
"There is a demand for it. " The Chi
cago printer left that night, and the
editor made the devil pay for the gaso
line. The editor can recall his last visit
from the tramp printer he "learned the
trade" with, the one who made gaso
line. He came into the "shop" and was
denied work by the foreman. He saw at
a glance that the old days and loose
ways were gone. Neatly dressed, well
kopt young men and women were at
work in an office as clean as a parlor.
"Whose ranyin this sheet now?" lie
inquired.
".Tack Hill," was the reply.
"I know him," he said laconically.
."I taught him his biz."
And then they saw him drift into the
sanctum and heard him say: "Hello,
Jack! You're doin welL I want some
thintoeat and drink."
"Gasoline" got what he asked for,
just as all tourists do who apply. The
next morning lie called on his editor
friend again, and when he found him
discussing prohibition with two or three
ministers and one or two of the elders
of the town he lurched right into the
editorial den and joined in the talk to
help the editor along. He was verv
drunk. He cried and said that naturally
he was a prohibitionist, but he really
longed te die and go to heaven, only he
had become "such a d d skeotic he
didn't believe there was such a place."
Then he went to sleep. The preachers
looked at him in pity. The editor spoke
kindly of him as a comrade who bad
seen better davs. As the editor talked
"Gasoline" awoke and said:
"Jack, if you don't gimme a quarter
to buv a drink with I'll sit here and

And "iioller" he did.

came on, and as it u eared the ship we

couldn't see a bit of canvas for them.

concerning wines and spirits, alcohol
percentages, bouquets, methods and
processes of refining and "aging" -wines,

Persons oi different temperaments

mental sufferings were indescribable.
fear, or rather apprehension, of some
thing mysterious and more grewsome
than all the ghost stories ever told rolled
into one awful horror opnresshig him
throughout the short time that he was
under the spell of the hemp. He never
will try it again, for which I am glad,
for he might pet into the habit of it.
Johnson's business take him among
pharmacists a good deal, and by wav of
adding to his disclaimer of being a
hasheesh slave b' remarked 'that everv
druggist has among his customers one
or more opium "fiends" who do not
feel the bondage of the drug, although
they are enslaved. "I saw a clerk mak
ing 100 small powders of morphine one
day," said Johnson, "and I asked hint
why he was petting up so many. Tho
clerk replied that ho put up that num
ber every Thursday for a certain lady
on renewal of a physician's prescrip
tion. The physician hadauthorized the
renewal, and the patient had been tak
ing the morphia for several years in the
same quantity. The habit probably
grew out of the drug having been pre
scribed originally for the relief of some
obstinate pain. The patient only knew
that the powders kept her pain away.
"This same drug clerk also told of
the successful cure of a sufferer from
the opium habit, another lady who re
alized her situation and loused to be
free. She went to live st her physician's
house- Sho had been drinking so much
laudanum a day. The doctor began by
allowing her the equivalent in mor
phine in capsules, taken at the hours at
which she had been accustomed to take
the liquid. He kept her on a nourishing
and stimulating diet and very gradual
ly, without the patient's knowledge,
reduced the size of the doses of morphia.
After a time he substituted for one of
the morphine capsules daily one of the
same appearance, filled with cinchoni
dia, an alkaloid of Peruvian bark like
quinine, but weaker. The patient did
not feci tho difference. Another cincho
nidia capsule was substituted daily aft
er another week or two, and so ou. until
after some months the habitue was tak
ing nothing but cinchonidia one day,
with, perhaps, two morphine doses the
next. As gradually as before these
were eliminated, and the patient was
told one day that she had had no mor
phia for a month. She was surprised
and incredulous, but she at last real
ized that she was cured. 1 don't know
that every one could be freed from the
opium habit in that manner.
"The druggist's clerk told me of a
fellow employee of his who had a pas
sion for ether. He had found him sev
eral tiii-Co asl fp or dozing in a heap of
excelsior packing in the cellar, and at
last discovered that the young man had
been stealing ether. He would saturate
a sponge, pot it into a pasteboard cone,
hold it over his nose, and thus anaes
thetize himself. You know that the
sensation of passing under the influence
of ether is very pleasant. It is akin to
the exhilaration of alcohol. The patient
about to be operated upon is in a state
of high spirit.-, no matter how great his
anxieties may be, as soon as the ether
has begun to intoxicate him.
"But in one part of Ireland, where
the making of 'potheen has been
squelched by the excite, the simple na
tives have taken to using ether a prod
uct not expensively purified like that"
used by Eurgeons. Only instead of in
haling it they drink it. It induces ex
treme exhilaration, then sleep, and the
drunkard awakes with a headache, a
sick stomach and an unpleasant, sweet
taste in the mouth, just as the surgeon 'i
patient does. The ether drinking makes
a man noisy and quarrelsome and reck
less while its exhilarating effect lasts,
and is in other ways far worse thou
whisky. A man may be drunk and so
ber again in 13 minutes. The local cler
gy are very bitter against the excisemen
for driving out the comparatively harm
less 'potheen. "' New York Mail and

fragrance, but are not nectar yielding,
therefore bees rarely visit them. It,
however, produces very large quantities
of pollen, and the winged creatures
that seek this food carry on the proc

satisfactory manner. Whether the in

whether it instinctively knows where

occupant declared, was enough to chill the very

there was no delusion as to the sounds. It was
no use putting a new servant, ignorant of the
facte, to sleep there, jlidnight was sure to
make the secret known. Those means, as of a
soul in pain, so it was steadily afirmcd, pro

was haunted cni it was not to be expected
that any one would sleep in company with a
ghost.
My friend, the mistress of the house, wu3 a
woman of great nerve and common sense. She
needed the room for household use and she re
solved to lay the ghost. .Accordingly she had
it made ready for occupation and after a care
