features, together with the large and

DOCTOR THEMSELVES.
People Who Make Hiuluess Brisk for the
Many Manufacturers or i'ataitt
Medicines.
"More people doctor themselves thaa
you would itiiHuitie." saitl a drugirist to
a reporter for the Brooklyn Eagle.
'The craze at present is for patent
ruttuicitius. The great reduction in the
price of all proprietary articles has in
duced many invalids, or individuals
who suppose they are ill. to give up
patronizing physicians ami try the many
nostrums willi which the 'market is
Hooded. J have not kept track of tho
uunibr of patent medicines in the
market in recent years, but the last
time 1 gave my attention to the subject
there were over lOo.OOO proprietary
medicines manufactured in the United
States. A dru store is a great resort
for hypochondriac.-;. Here men talk by
the hour of their various ailments which
are of no interest to me. but to which 1
am obliged lo listen or else lose the
sick tuuu's custom."
"VVJuit class purchase patent niedi
cinefl?'; 'All classes, of course, bny proprietary
medicines to a greater or less extent, but
the largest trade in tlietu is done with
elderly men. When a man reaches,
say, GO years, be usually has some ail
ment which may either be trilling or
serious. At all events, after the lirst
symptoms present themselves he makes
a careful diagnosis of his case and hies
him to the druggist. The pill manu
facturer patiently listens to the cus
tomer's statement ot his ills aud pre
scribes a remedy usually one of his
own preparations. Why?' Because the
prolil on the druggist's goods are 100
per cent more than on others. Probably
the remedy purchased beiietits the pa
tient, but the chances are that" it
doesn't."
"Would you recommend individuals
who are sick to do their own doctor
ing?" Certainly not. No man can tell the
nature of his disease. A symptom or
symptoms may indicate u dozen d inher
ent diseases, and when a man is taking
a liver invigorator he may be suflering
from kidney trouble. It is the height
of folly for one to buy a proprietary
tonic, the iurredients of which are of
the poorest aud cheapest quality. Does
it stand to reason that a patent medi
cine linn would put high-priced wine in"
a beef, iron, and wine tonic? No. The
wine used is geuerallv the cheuuest
kind of sherry, and I shudder when 1
think of the extract of beet and iron
used. The same principle applies to all
proprietary articles in which alcohol is
Mip'iose to enter. l!u: few hitlers or
nervines contain miii.-h alcohol, but are
mainly composed of cheap qualities of
French spirits. (Jood alcohol costs
money, and is far too dear to be used
iu patent medicines which sell at 1 pcr
bottlc."
"What class of patent medicines has
the largest sale?" was -itked.
--Diuetv nl articles are manufactured
at various seasons. For instance, iu
the summer months sarsaparillas and
ginger touies have the call, while iu
cold weather cough sirup and consump
tion cures are largely sold. You would
be surprised to know the mi tuber of
remedies for coughs and colds sold iu
Brooklyn from November to June.
They are of various kinds, good, bad,
ami indilt'ereut, the latter predomina
ting. Dol think simps can cure con
failiuption? No. sir. They no doubt re
lieve the suift-rcr and loosen the cough,
but in many instances coughs are tem
porarily dried up by their use, only to
-break out again more severely thau be
fore." "How do homeopathic medicines
sell?"
"Poorly. What man originally from
the country will ever forget Tiis mother's
medicine chest and the good woman's
catnip tea ami mustard plasters? How,
ou the first symptom of disease in any
of her loved ones she hastens to the
well-thumbed aud ancient medicine
book, locates the malady, and prescribes
the remedy? The day of the homeo
pathic medicine chest has, I think,
passed. At any rate, homeopathy is
not practit't d as much iu Brooklyn as
formerly. But whether the remedies
which our mothers prescribed were
ellicacious or not. I don't pretend to
ktiow, but anyway we most always got
well. Good care and nursing go a
great way in the treatment of disease."
The reporter's informant, who, in ad
dition to being a druggist, is also a
physieiuu, continuing, said: "In the
sleepy Long island village in which I
was born, our doctor combined the
duties of physician with those of
dominie. His knowledge of the Bible
far exceeded that of materia niedicx
The tirst body was dissected in this
country in Philadelphia, in 1750. and
from that date until 17G7. when the lirst
medical school was established in New
York, but little progress was made in
the study of medical science. The
strides made iu the profession have
been phenomenal, but nothing com
pared to what will be discovered by
future generations."
"Don't druggists often compound
their own prescriptions?'
"Yes, but if caught they are liable to .
imprisonment. 1 have a diploma and
can prescribe for a patient, and then
compound my own prescription. Drug
gists are very careful in prescribing and
are fully aware of the penalty for so
doing."
A Disappointed Community.
Some years ago. when Cook lirst
started his continental "personally-conducted
tours," Florence, the comedian,
aud Howard Paul, were of a party who
went to Italy. Old Mr. Cook was a
solid, dry ofd fellow, who spoke no
language but his native English, and
the couriers he then employed were
clumsy and inellicient. The result was
incessant blunders and much muddling
of the traveling arrangements. Just
before the party of sixty persons started
for Pisa, whero they were ouly to re
main a few hours to'examinc theCarapo
Santa, the leaning tower, and drive
through the town, Florence aud How
ard Paul put their heads together to
concoct a "lark" of some kind. The
outcome of this conference was that they
telegraphed to the mayor of Pisa that
Cook's circus was about to parade the
town and that it would be well to issue
a notice to the inhabitants to turn out
en masse, and give the grand equestrian
cavalcade a hearty reception. The
mayor obeyed, and when the tourists
arrived at Pisa thousands of people were
ou the qui vive. Cook had telegraphed
to the station-master to have twenty
carriages in readiness to convey his
party to the tower, and as they drove
through the town in procession they
were received on all sides by enthusi
astic vivas and cheers. On arriving at
the tower the mayor aud a deputation
iu full rig inquired for Mr. Cook,
thanked him for his telegram, and then
tenderly inquired after the horses.
"The horses? What horses?"
"Why, ths circus horses."
1886.
"But, my dear sir. this is not a circus
party, but a band of "
"Briirands?" interjected the function.
ary, who liegan to susjieet something
wrong.
"No, signor, tourists, who are ex
ploring your beautiful Italy. I am Mr.
Cook, the excursion ageut. and the
people you see about me are my clients."
Then the mayor realized he had been
"sold," as well as the teu thousand in
habitants of Pisa. He produced the
telegram, which oid Mr. Cook had
translated to him. and he has never
found out to this day. as the secret was
well kept, who played that joke on
iiiin. Texas Sifting.
Lightning Holes.
Prof. Br it n has published in the
Archives dr Uriicvc an interesting study
on the so-called lightning holes to be
found in the High Alps. He and other
investigators have found them at heights
of from 15.348 to 4.000 metres, or be
tween 11,000 and 1:1,000 feet above the
sea level. Usually they are. . found on
summits. Sometimes the rocky mass,
which has been vitrified in the passage
of the electric fluid, presents the appear
auce of small scattered pearls, some
times of a series of semispherical cavi
ties only a few millimetres in diameter.
Sometimes there are vitrified rays going
out from a central point to a distance of
four or live inches. Sometimes a block
detached from the mass appears as if
bored through by a cannon-bull, the
hdllowed passage being quite vitrified.
The thickness of this vitrified coating
or stratum never exceeds a millimetre,
ami is sometimes not more than the
quarter of that in depth. The varying
colors which it presents depend on the
qualities and coniosition of the rock.
The same may be said as to its trans
parency. On the Huugtischorn the glass
thus fouued by the liiriiluitig is black,
owing to the quantity ot actiuolith
which the rock contains. It is brown
on La Huiuette. the rock consisting of
feldspar mixed with gneiss containing
chloride of iron. Under the microsc"upu
these lightning holes display many iu
( terior cavities, which must be attributed
to the presence of water iu the rock at
! the moment of melting bv the electric
discharge. This vitrilied material has
no iuduence on polarized light.
Cooking Vegetables.
It is surprising what a difference there
is in the time required for cooking many
vegetables that have stood a day or two
after the pickiug, as compared with
those which have come fresh from the
garden. For example, peas that are
picked iu the morning for use the same
day. can be cooked iu about half the
time thai would be needed if the same
peas were kept a day or two longer. Be
sides, lite llavor of vegetables that are
cooked while fresh is much superior to
that of those which have stood for some
time.
Kars of green corn that are just filled
will, if pltthtred into boiling water as soon
as gathered, cook iu ten mimutes.or per
haps iu less time, while the same corn,
if kept for one or two days, will require
twice as much time for cooking and will
not be so tender and line flavored as if
cooked at once. This is where one hav
ing a garden of her own has a great ad
vantage of the housekeeper who is
obliged to get her .supplies from the
market. Kating green peas and corn
iu the country spoils one for anything
that can be bought in a city market.
A piece of cooking soda about the size
of a jH-a will, if added to a quart of peas
or beans, make them tenderer and pre
serve the green color. It should not be
added until the vegetables are half
cooked Maria Parlua, in (Jood House
keeping. Gloss Tor Cigars.
"An interesting feature of the trade."
said a dealer, "is a process for giving
to cigars a very rich glossy and shining
appearance. No matter how dead look
ing a cigar may be. the process makes
them look as though they were made
from the richest, oiliest, lioest, gummy
tobacco, aud no matter how old and
dried out the cigars may be the process
entirely and perfectly renovates them.
The process is a secret The material
used is as clear as water, yet it gives to
a cigar a much darker aud richer ap
pearance. It can not come off from the
cigar, has no taste, and docs not be
come dull by age. The material costs
$3 a gallon. The fact is the public is
continually demanding cigars of better
quality, and the only way to keep up
with the times is tor manufacturers to
improve their tobacco to the fullest ex
tent. The way to do it is to throw
aside all prejudice aud old fashioned
notions. The looks of cigars sells them,
and if the wrappers are dark and shiny
they will sell every time; that is my ex
perience." New' York Mad and Ex
press. A Great Empress.
Of ail the Russian sovereigns, next ts
Peter the Great, Catharine the Second
seems to have been the most extraordi
nary. The tourist is continually run
ning across her statues, her portraits,
her crowns, her jewelry, her silverware.
There is more of her personal property
and reminders ot her of one kind and
another on show than of any other
Romanoff, man or woman. The best
things in all the palaces, the treasuries,
and the sacristies were hers. If you see
a string of pearls, each perfect and as
large as a hazel-nut, even before you
have pointed it out. your guide says:
"Catharine the Second." If there is a
sceptre with a particularly large dia
mond in the top and the 'handle knob
by with rubies, emeralds, and sapphires,
you kuow who wielded it without being
told. To the physical courage of a mau
she added the delicate esthetic tastes of
a woman. Other rulers may have been
more extravagant than she, ' but Catha
rine the Second understood how to make
boundless wealth contribute to the pro
duction of art works that htill live to be
admired.
New Discovery in Glass.
Berlin papers copy from the Orrmam'a
the account of an important discovery
in glass manufacture made by Fried
rich Siemens of Dresden. He has suc
ceeded in casting glass in the same wav
as molten metal is cast, and obtaining
an article corresponding to exst metal.
This cast glass is hard, not dearer in
production than cast iron, and has the
advantage of transparency, so that all
flaws can be detected before it is ap
plied to practical use. It will be much
less exposed to injury from atmospheric
influence than iron. Tho process of
production is not dillicult, the chief fea
ture being rapid cooling. The hardness
and resisting power of this cast glass
are so great that experiments are just
now being carried out at the Siemens
glass foundry at Dresden with the pur
pose of ascertaining whether the ma
terial could be employed for rails OU

Bismarck as a Hero.
While he was serving in the Uhlan
cavalry, in 1842, his groom, who was
the son of a forester on his estate, rode
into the lake to give the horse a bath.
Missing his footing, the rider was
thrown, and disappeared in the water.
Bismarck was standing with a group of
officers on "the bridge and saw his sink
ing groom. In an instant his sword
nd uniform were on the ground, and
he leaped into the lake. lie found the
struggling man. and soized him. But
in the blind agony of a drowning man
he clung so tight to his master that Bis
marck, helplesi, was obliged to dive
with his burden to loosen the hold. It
seemed both were lost, but soon after
bubbles rose to the surface, followed by
Bismarck, who in the depths had de
tached the grip of the mau and now ap
peared, dragging his groom with fiitn.
and swam to the shore. The inanimate
form was restored to life, and the fol
lowing day to duty. For this act he re
ceived the Prussian medal for "rescue
from peril." which was his first decora
tion, and he proudly wore it when I10
had no other. Nor has he since aban
doned it. for it finds its place still
amidst the highest orders which Euro
pean monarchs have since showered
upon his breast. His friends are fond
of telling his answer to a much deco
rated diplomatist who. seeiug this loue
ly medal ou his young colleague's coat,
iuquired what decoration it was. Herr
von Bismarck, who. at that time, had
no title and had earned no courtly deco
ration, looked him hard in the eye and
said: "I am in the habit sometimes of
saving a man's life." John A. Kusson,

The Preacher In Politics.
Some years ago. says the Danville
Ky., Advocate, Col. Boyd was runuing
for congress in the fatuous Ninth dis
trict. It came to Ids cars that a preach
er iu a certain locality iu one of the
counties had been taniered with and
needed looking after, as the clcrcyiuuti
bad some political influence worthy a
candidate's consideration. Boyd went
to the minister and had a loug talk with
him. but elicited no assurance that he
would get the divine's support. Return
ing to London, he told .Judge Brown tt
his' experience, and it was decided that
Brown should give him a set-to. A few
days later the judge met the mau of
(Sod. aud after inquiring tho news in
his locality, drifted upon the congres
sional race; but vainly, for he left the
preacher fully satisfied that he was not
favorably disponed toward Boyd. Boyd
and Brown held a consultation, and de
cided that the clerical gentleman could
be won over with "motive power."

Remarkable Bremen Cellars.
As for the cities for they are really
the subjects of our observations, the peo
ple being merely accessories, as iu
Claude Iorraiue's landscapes Bremen
was the lirst as well as one of the most
interesting that we have seen. It is a
pretty little towu. chiefly noted for three
things its present freedom, the former
influence in the celebrated Hunseatie
league, and the bleikeller. With regard
to the second of these peculiarities it is
only necessary to say that the leaders of
the'league used to meet in the rath
haus (town hall) here, particularly af
fecting the large and well-tilled cellars
appertaining thereto. In one of these
cellars is a vault containing twelve
hogsheads of old wine; each cask is
named after an apostle. In an adjoin
ing vault is a thirteenth cask bearing
the device of a rose; on the ceiling is a
gigantic figure of the same flower. It
is from the large number of secret meet
ings which took place here that the
term "sub-rosa" is derived.
The bleikeller or lead-cellar has the
peculiar property of preserving bodies
which have been buried in it. Al
though iu open cases, some have beeu
kept for nearly two hundred years.
There are two or three other places iu
Europe which have the same power, as
in Bordeaux and some parts of Italy
there, however, the monks attribute tho
effect to miracles, uot to natural causes.

Heary Clay's Suavity.
Mr. Blair had been the partner of
Amos Kendall in the publication of the
Frankfort (Ky.) Argus, and they had
both deserted' Henry Clay when they
enlisted in the movement which gave
the electoral vote of Kentucky to Cen.
Jackson, and joined in the cry of "bar
gain and corruption" raised against
their former friend. It is related that
the lirst interview between Clay and
Blair after this desertion was a very
awkward one for the latter, who felt
that he had behaved shabbily. Clay
had ridden over on horseback from
Lexington to Frankfort, in the winter
season, on legal business, and on
alighting from his horse at the tavern
door found himself confronting Blair,
who was just leaving the house. "How
do you do. Mr. Blair?" inquired the
great commoner, iu his silvery tones
and blandest maimer, at the same time
tendering his hand. Blair mechanically
took the extended hand, but was evi
dently nonplused, and at length said,
with an evident effort: "Pretty well, I
thank you, sir. How did you find the
roads from Iexington here?" "The
roads are very bnd. Mr. Blair," gra
ciously reulied Clay, "very bad; and
1 wish, sir that you" would meud your
ways." Ben: Ferity Foore.
