The child in the cradle and the venerable man or woman tottering on f the verge of the grave, are dependent ipon drugs for their jihysieal hapjii ie;8 or misery. The trade U oho of the most important carried on in tin civilized or uwvYilized globe. It eni ploys manyAundreds of millions of dollar Ja cipital, and affords thousands upon thousands of storekeepers and clerks an honest means of making a livelihood. AVith the view of learning something of the inside mysteries of a trade of so much importance to all mankind, a reporter of the Chronicle visited a popular drug store in this city, and had a long talk with an ac complished apothecary. The man of lmgs was engaged in tilling a phvsi tian's prescription, and when he had completed the compound and was at leisure he said : "Xow there is a compound that is composed of exactly four ingredients, irno of th:) ingredients costs at wholesale exactly two cents ; the second, one cent ; the third, two cents, the whole eight cents." "How much will you chargo. your customer for the prescription? " Fifty-five cents." " A handsome profit " Uh, yes: but then, vou sen. our customer pays forty -seven of the fifty five cents for the use of our experience as an apothecary. Men in other pro - f essions do the same that we do in this respect. For instance, a physician will look at your tongue and feel your pulse for which he will demand a fee of from two to five dollars, according to the hmgth of your purse and his Btanding in society. If he is a " high toned" or fashionable doctor, you may think yourself fortunate if you escape without being mulcted in more than 5. It is the same with a lawyer. You visit his office, obtain his advice iu a simple matter, and occupy his time for about fifteen minutes. He wants you to pay him $5 or $10. Xow I have performed as much real . service as cither the lawyer or the doctor.'and all the compensation I ask is,.tfre mere pittance of fifty-five centsWe prefer the prescription busiitfss to selling patent medicinesb'ecause the former is the mostxjj'rofitable. of the two branchesofour trade." ---MVMt drugs haVe the largest sale?" well, sir, I may include in the list quinine, the various- preparations of opium, calomel, arsenic, valerian, lav ender, and well, I think you. will not wish to go through with the entire Tatalogue." "Is there a scarcity of quinine in the market?" "Yes, but it is to a great .extent an artificial scarcity, caused by the fact that a few dealers have bought up aearly all the stock in existence. It is fortunate for the government that the United States has no war on hand at the present time, for if Uncle Sam was compelled to purchase quinine for an army of soldiers at the prevailing high price of tho drug, his treasury would be bankrupteJ. During the last war had it not been for the excel lent antidote found in quinine half of the army would, no doubt, have been jent to the hospitals." By whom is opium mainly bought?" " Well, sir, by people of all classes. You would be greatly surprised if I should show you a list of my customers who are in the habit of purchasing this drug. I do not mean those for whom it is prescribed by physicians, but those who use it as regularly as they would tobacco. These slaves of tho opium habit comprise lawyers, artists, preachers, merchants and all kinds of mechanics, tradesmen and laborers. Women as well as men are slaves to the opium fiend. I think physicians are much to blame for peo ple acqinring the habit." "How bo ?" . "Because they are willing to pre scribe it to their patients who could get along without it. An invalid is sleepless or nervoas and opium is given in small doses. By-and-bye larger doses are required under similar cir cumstances, and finally the patient finds that it is almost impossible to get along without the drug. The opium habit has made wealthy people poor. In thia respect it is as great an enemy to the human race as strong drink. A quaiter of a century ago tho physicians gave their patients a great deal of calomel, now very little ;f the drug is prescribed." The Fisherman's Floral Calendar. That the fisherman has a vein of poetry in his composition is e inced by tho fallowing incident, relatel in a re port of the United States fish commis sion. A Narragansett fishermen being isked if the suuetague came earlier ;o l'oint Juuith last year, replied: About the same time. They expected them in February and gut the 6eines ready. They had them in the water in March. I always judge by the dande lions. When 1 see the first dandelion, the scup come in. I watch the bud-, and when the buds are swelled full, then our traps go in.

Aleck Sweet, tho 2V at Sifting niar tells a good story of tho early days of the war. His regiment was leaving Texas, anxious to rea- h the seat of war before the conflict ended. Let him tell tho story for himself : " Just before dark one afternoon, we passed a comfortable-looking farm house, the owner of which was busily engaged, with a very anxious expres sion of countenance and a long pole, driving a number of pigs under tho house. The impression that forced itself upon us on observing this con duct was that ho thought" the pigs would be safer there than they would be in the immediate vicinity of our camp. One of my comrades, who was trudging along by my side, Bob lleas ley, a proud, high-struug, sensitive fellow, but as honest, nevertheless, as the day is long, was stung to the quick by the action of the farmer, and, turn ing to me, Bob said : "This is an insult to our sacred cause and to every honest man in th regiment. Let us teach this man to respect us. Let's go back there to night and steal one of his old hogs to show him that we won't stand any o his insinuations.' "I agreed to assist Bob in wiping out tho insult, on condition that I should have ona-half of the pork. That night we carefully trudged back to the house where we had seen the farmer trying to steal the pigs away from us. We quietly called a council of war and agreed upon a cam paign plan. Bob was to crawl through a hole under the house and drive the hogs out, because he was more familiar with tho habits of hogs than I was. I was to assume an offensive nnsiMnn l "aa "fsume an ononsive position, Hi , Club' at 0Utslde of the ho'e: and as soon a? the hog came out I was to stun wm with a blow, after which he was to be dispatched and carried to camp. Bob crawled in on all fours, and pretty soon I heard a hog scramb ling toward the hole. I drew, back my club, and just as the porker came out through the hole 1 gave him a tre mendous blow. Bob Beasley gave a grunt, for he was the hog. I had only dislocated his shoulder, instead of knocking his brains out. The farmer, it seems,-' added insult to injury by moving his hogs from .inder the house, ' -...''Bob expressed himself very forcibly, lie used language toward me which no soldier should use to a comrade. He was evidently much disappointed at not finding tho hogs under the house. In the excitement of the moment I spoke emphatically, in a low tone of voice, of what I thought of the con duct of the farmer. I had a good no tion to inform the colonel of our regi ment, and have the agriculturist im prisoned as a traitor. I should or lainly have denounced the treachery. . .. A. T - f . ' ' . . . uufc j. was airaui mat li j. said any-J wung aooui tne attair our motives for trying to kill the hog might have been misconstrued. I volunteered to carry Bob Beasley to camp on my back, which was only two or three miles off. I would not have volunteered if Beasley had not given me his solemn word of honor that he would assassi nate me if I did not do so cheerfully. When I got to camp I had acquired" a permanent curvature of the spine, which is one of the offerings I cheer fully laid upon the altar of my coun-' try. Our devotion to principle was not appreciated by our comrades, who would jeeringly call out : " How's your hog?" whenever we passed along the line. From that hour I instinct irely felt that the cause of the Con' fderacy w as hopeles s." The Insect Population. In 1849 Alexander von Humboldt estimated the number of species of in sects preserved in collection at between one hundred and fifty to one hundred and seventy thousand; Europe alone being represented by more than three times as many sp?cie3 of insects as of phanerogamous plants. Ten years ago Dr. Gerstacker estimated the number of species of insects to be two hundred and twenty-five thousand, five times as many as the known species of all other classes of animals together. If we assume that there exists in the whole world only three times as many insects as there are phanerogamous plants the latest estimation of which approaches two hundred and twenty five thousand we arrive at the start ling sum of about seven hundred and fifty thousand. Bewildering as this estimate appears, it is probably, too low. The oak alone gives shelter and support to four hundred and fifty species of insects, and the pine to more than two hundred, and one moth alone has thirty-live difl?rent species of para sites. Without going any further in our calculations we may quite safely assert that, if the number of species of all other classes of animals should be doubled by new discoveries which is rather improbable for some cla-tse, and quite impossible for the verte brates the number of the species of insects would be mors than five times as many as that of all other animals .aken together. Lumber Camp 'Fun." one of the favorite games is "put your head in the hat." They draw lots, and the unfortunate victim hides his face by drawing a hat over it. Somebody gives him a whack with the palm of his hand, and he is required lo guess who the man was. If he guesses right he is relieved by the man who gave tho blow, but a wrong guess results in another blow. As some of tho men have a hand like a sledge hammer the unfortunate sometimes gets black and Hue before he guesses correctly. The fun is enjoyed intense ly by tho whackers, although the one who gets whacked may not appreciate the joke ko hugely. 1 have seen them" keep up tins game for two solid hours. 11 il tvu ukie Stntiiitil.

There are men who never want to see yon except to ask tho favor of a loan. They will ask for just one word with yoiij and that one word is snre to be money. An impecunious fellow met a rich aoipiaint ance, and not liking to ask diie.-tly for a loan, said, "Friend Smith, if you had tett dollars In your pocket, and I was to ask you for the loan of five, how many would remain in your pocket?" "Ten dollars, to be sure," replied the rieh man, without a moment's hesitation. He had gumption, and knew too much to part with his money by any such rule of subtraction. Oh, I see, said tho impecunious man thus rebuffed. He was able to owe. He was one of tho Micawber Bort always waiting for something to turn up. How like some people who are siek. They think to get well by letting disease take Wire of itself. Hut diseases do not heal themselves, and too late their victims full often find this out to their sorrow as death seizes upon them. Had they been wise in time they might have added many years to their lease of life. The cure was nigh them, as it is nigh to all who read this medley. Theso paragraphs tell tho story, as a patient perusal will prove. Those who have keen insight and can read between the lines may solve the conundrum the soon er for it, but upon all, light will dawn ere they read the final word of our story. Light will dawn, we snid, and so it will, light of hope and help. Light is what a certain individual wanted. Mr. Jones we will call him. He was very sick. Consump tion had fastened its fangs upon him. He had long neglected catarrh, and laughed at the idea of taking anything for if when ad vised to do so,, iid so went from bad to worse. Hislungs became diseased, a hack ing, churchyard cough racked him almost to pieces, and he was fast wasting away. A mere shadow of his former self, he scarcely slept at all at night, or slept onlyio dream horrible dreams. Talk of nightmare! A whole circus tronpe, horses and all, seemed to make his bed the arena of their wild per formances. In this esse money did not make the mare go, for ho spent a deal of money on doctors and physics nnd was nothing bettered. Ho ate little, ai.d was fust going down to an untimely grave, leav ing his wifo a widow and his four bright' children orphans, when, lo! on one eventful night he dreamed for once a bright and happy dream, which our next paragraph will relate. Denth, the black-visnged monster, had until then stared him in the face, but the dream brought him hope. He saw a bright, white-robod angel in his dream, who said, "I come to bring you good news. Here is your cure sure, fafe, harmless, prompt and reliable. Get well and seek to take health thereby to others. Behold the cure!" With these words the angol was gone, but ere the trail of light which followed him had vanished the dreamer saw glittering in the light three golden letters O. M. D. "What can it mean?" he said to hiuisalf, as he awoke from his slumber. "I hsvo had a Good Many Dreams before, but never such as this." Startled and snrprisod he aroused his wife and to her related his vision. Ainu, she could not solve tho problem. Remem bering all the medical advice, and the physic, and the expense involved since her husband became sick, she expressed the hope that tho letter wore not intended to suggoit that a Good Many Doctors must yet be consulted in addition to all that had been interviewed, lie groaned in reply and remarked that if he had to consult any more there would have to be a Gold Mine Discovered in order to pay them. Every day for a week he and his faithful spouse senrchel diligently for a key to the problem. In the dictionary, in such newspapers as they happened to have, in books, on placards on, the walls everywhere they sought hoping to find a e'ew. Letters stand for words, and they hoped to light upon the words that should suggest the cure. They Grieved Many Days over their lack of good luck, as they said, and the Good Man Dreamed again and ng.iin, but saw no more angels. Hope deforred maketh the heart sick. "Oh, that the angol had Guided Me Definitely and Given More Directions," lie exclaimed, again and again. Nearly two weeks had elapsed since the night of the Great Mysterious Dream, when there came to tho house a pamphlet. Tired with his exhausting ollico work, which he still pursued, determining if possible lo die in tho harness, Jones was about to throw the pamphlet in the ire when something prompted him to exuinino it. Surely, thought he, here can be nothing that will Pierre this Gloom Most Distressing, or Give Me. Disheartened, any relief. Poor man, he had worked letters over in his mind, and made so many combinations with them, that they occurred in almost every sentence he uttered. 1 hey entered even mto his pray ers. Heaven Grant 'Me Deliverance, lie would say, nor let disease Grind Me Down, and so forth, ad infinitum, ai d a mile or two beyond. Mentally tortured and stffering in every fiber of his body, what won tei- that he read page after page of the pamihlet. It was a work on diseases, and in tha morbid state of his mind its contents seemed to suit him. It spoke of almost every disease that flesh is heir to, but oh, joy! as he read, a Glimpse Most Delightful of light stole in upon him. "Eureka! Eureka!'' he cried. "Wife, I have it, I have it." Everybody in the hou-e heard him cry Eureka, and rushed to the room to hear what he had found. All expected to see some Great Miracle Done, and then came the ex planation. Simple, of course, but why had he not thought of it before? Oh, what a rev elation! Here was hope for him and for all consumptives. Here, hope for suffering friends and neighbors. That night lie scarce could sleep, but when he did, he again saw a bright vision of golden letters, in fact, a Glittering Monagram Deciphered readily, and reading G. M. D.i and again P. P. P., and yet again E. P., and one hugeP, around which these others were entwined, and then W. D. M. A. All the letters blended, yet each was distinct. All he had seen in the book, all he again saw in his vision. Dream Most Glorious. D. M. G. G. M. D. Again he rang the changes; backward, forward, every way. Gold Medal Deserved. M. G. D. Misery's Great Deliverer, till time would fail to tell them nil. P. P. P. stood for Perfect Peace Promised for suf ferers, and sweet release from Prostrating Purgatorial Pains. And auain F. P. vas Freedom Promised, nnd backward, P. F., it became Pain Flees. Now ho could get well, and once well, he would be a missionary, a Glad Missionary Devoted to the work of tel.ing others how they might get deliver ance. He went through the list of diseases among th se of his own acquaintance, from John KobiiiHon, whose torpid liver gave him constant headache and severe bilious attacks, ''! r ngh the list of those suffering from ulco. s, coughs, weak and diseased lungs, to his friend, General U , who was as near the grave as he. And for ail these, as well as for himself, the Grave May Disappear from present vision, and each may be Given More Decades of life than they had hoped to iiave years. Against the milder cases he marked P. P. P. Against the serious cases he marked G. M. D., not tho Grizzly Monster Dttath. which he so long had dreaded, but something oh, to much better, as we shall presently see. In a short while our hero was well, and went everywhere among his friends and neighbors, telling of his good fortune and showing the sick and the suffering how they UHgUtbe hmled. ikjue laughed and con tinued to sutler, refusing to be healed.

It would seem as though some ill deity had givon every letter of the alpha bet as many diseases as it could possibly de sire, thus forming an alphabet of sorrow, suffering and woo. Happy they who the Great Measure Discerning, nave escaped the clutches of sad diseases. 1Ooking back upon his past experience, Mr. Jones feels Grateful Most Decidedly, and continues telling the old story of liis sickness, his vision, and his restoration to health; for all the sick are not well yet. But he has had tho pleasure of seeing, as he sas. Good Miraculously Done to hundreds upon his personal recommendation. Dear reader, bear with us awhile if light has not yet dawned on your mind.

Briggs' great orchard illustrates the dangers of planting on riparian bot toms in California. Briggs was offered 100,000 for his orchard in Febru ary. It was on an allluent of the American river, that falls into the Sacramento miles below. He declined selling. A few days later the whole orchard was buried beneath ten thou sand tons of coarse gravel and boulders brought down in a rushing ilood from the auriferous gravel mines above. In the twinkle of an eye every tree disap peared. Only here and there could be seen a treetop to indicate the locality of the orchard which a few months be fore was famous for its wealth of varied fruitage. It is now forever de barred from resurrection by a dense forest of willows thirty feet high cov ering the whole surface. But the in domitable. Briggs planted more exten sively elsewhere, and he still leads in fruit production and in successful realization. In such a roaring flood on American river, Sacramento, Smith's extensive and most ornate public gar dens, valued at tlOO.000 an acre, were swept away bodily, and the brother owners were ruined. Every year such floods destroy thousands of acres of he richest bottoms along our rivers. The Rothschilds.
