DRUGGISTS.
JUST A FINANCIAL DISCUSSION.
Chicago Tribune.
1 he stranger with long hair had
eaten a great breakfast in a Clark
street restaurant and was making for
the door Without settling when the
oashier called to him:
"Here, sir! The money!"
"Money? It's the engrossing topic
of the hour, and I'm not surprised
that, you evince a keen interest in it.
I trust, sir, that you will agree with
me when I say that the recent repeal
of the silver purchasing law will not
greatly relieve the business world; the
remedy must be more'
'-Oh, stow your tongue and out
with the wealth!"
"I agree with yoa. The point is
well taksn. Wealth is a great bless
ing at all t mes. but legislation can
not increase or diminish the volame
of currency. The first thing neces
sary is to strengthen the public con
fidence by assurances"
"Now, se here"
"Pardon me, but I have the statist
tics to prove all that I say. I main
tain that the repeal of the Sherman
law, as recently accomplished by con
gress, can only mitigate"
Just then something bit him in the
back, and he struck the ourb on the
other side of the street. As he gath
ered himself up and shouted for his
hat aud remarked:
"It strikes m? as a mighty singular
thing that some men cannot discuss
the financial question without flying
into a passion."
AN INDUSTRIOUS WOMAN,
I
Mrs Adella Nlver, near Sera nton,
Pa, makes a good living out of things
that would go to waist if it wasnt
for her industry. Every spring she
taps fifty or sixty maple trees near
her house, gathers and boils the sap
into syrup herself and sends the pro
duct to market in tin cans holding a
gallon each. At the end of the sap
season Mrs Nlvers begins to pick win
tergreen berries on the neighboring
ridges for the city markets Last
spring she gathered two barrels of the
bright red and fragrant wild red
f rait. Later in the season the indus
trious woman dug several bushels of
gensiog and gold thread roots in the
woods, which she sold at fair pricn.
She also digs quite a quantity of sas
safras and sarsaparilla roots every
year. In August Mrs Nivers gather
ed a wagon load of boneset, pressed
it into pales And tent it away to be
sold. She gets a little money oat of
spearmint and peppermint, as well as
for small qaanties of pennyroal and
wormwood. All the farmers in the
neighborhood let catnip grow on
their places for Mr Nlver to gather.
In late June and early July she pick
ed two boshels of field strawberries
to sell and later she sold and gather
ed 800 quarts of red raspberries and
blackberries. This fall Mrs Niver
made a few dollars oat of beach nuts.
MR. CHILDS' FIRST CIGAR.

Ladies' Home Journal.
One of my first recollections of
i Christmas day is having no sled with
MM
IKS
which to enjoy the frost overed
rroand, (or we had frost and snow on
Christmas when I was a boy, and I
made no my mind that before the
next Christmas arrived I should have
one, writes George W Ghllds. And I
did, and wlthoot any one giving It to
me, either, as I both earned and saved
money with which I bought it
Christmas presents ' were always
abundant, thoagh of the simplest
kinds. The one which I remember
most distinctly was package of fire
crackers -more suitable to Indepen
dence day than to Christmas, per
haps, but I was not long In carrying
It to the street and sharing my pres
ents with my boy friends. As many
of these boys smoked penny cigars we
utilized the spark as flames to ex
Diode the eraekers. When the crack
ere were exhausted I bought and
smoked my first and last eigar. Later
in the day. as a further Christian
celebration, I went to a menagerie
and while there was taken so violent
ly ill that I made op my mini then
that if I ever reached home alive I
would never again roach tobacco. I
And I never have.
