rivrry member of the human family
is more or loss interested In the clnijr
trade. 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."

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. When the dan
delion goes v'U of Mama and runs to
seed, then the ficup are gone. That is
true one year with another, though
they vary every season. I am guided
by the blossoms of other plants for
oilier fish. When high blackl merries
ari in bloom we catch striped bass that
weigh from twelvftyto twenty pounds;
when the blue violet3 are in llussom
ihey come early you can catch the
small ' sco )t-' as.' That has always
been my rule. It has been handed
down to me by my forefathers." Mr.
Frederick W. True. cifinienting on
this, calls it ' tho fulk-lore of flowers."
. ALHUeWsr Story.
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.

money. It nnsworelh lilt thing. UbM
rightly it is n power for pood, and there in
money enough in the world to form rt lever
by which the inns of humanity could be lift
ed, to a eertflin extent, out of it depths of
sorrow mid deepnir. Money we must have

mnke money who have no faculty foreaving.
Would yon snve yon miwt know how to deny
those who would borrow and never repay, as
well n those who bee simply because they are
too lazy to work. 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

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

Perils of California Agriculture.
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.

aMank of kidney disease, and at times nffered Intensely.
I reoelred the medical edrloe of arnne of onf nest physi
cians for a Ions time, without being beneuteil by their
prescriptions. Betas' discouraged by the fallurws4the
doctors to belp me, and being nrged to nse lTant'a
Kemedy by a friend who had tented its merits, allhnngbt
teluctant to try a patent medicine, I waa Anally Induced
to try the Remedy, and procured two bottles of It, and
eomraenoed taking It faithfully according to thedtree- '
ttons, Beforal had taken It threedayslha exorueiatlng
pains in my back had disappeared, and before 1 had used
two bottles I was entirely cured. Wheneri-t. from over
exertion or a rlnleotonM, the pains in my kidneys return,
s few doses of Hunt a Remedy quickly elfeota a euro.
Refer elnalng I brg to men.' Ion the remarkable aura
of a friend of mine In New York City, to whom I recom
mended this valuable medicine. Ho waa suffering
severely from aa attack which waa pronounced by hla
physician a decided caw of Brighfa I)lwe of the Kid

him, and be commenced taking It, and began to Improve
at onoe, and waa speedily restored to health, a"d be

merciful Proridence, to Hunt's Remedy,
Another friend of mine In New York, lo whom I recom
mended Hunt's Remedy, was aufTnting sererely from
kidney disease, and waa entirely enred of H after using
this wonderful medicine only a short period.
Feeling deeply grateful fur the great benefits atprrt
anoed by my friends and myself from the use of Ilimt'o
Remedy, I feel It to be my duty, aa well aa a great privi
lege, to furnish yon this voluntary and unsolicited state
ment of facta for the information of your large number
of reader, many of whom ar undoubtedly suffering
from this widely-spreading scourge, and I believe that It
is the brsl medicine now known, and thit It will cure all
