COSTLY DRUGS. tom. Rar. and Peculiar Substaneaa Uead In Medicine. A writer lu Wiasen suer Alle throws tome interesting ’igbt on rare and peculiar drugs. Haffron, be points cut, would strike an ordinary observer as decidedly expensive at sl3 a pound (to change marks into our coinage) until told that It Is composed of the central small portions only of the flowers of the crocus, 70.000 of wnich ii inker, to make a pound. Attar of roses sells at sll2 odd per pound, and it takes 10,01)0 pounds, or nearly five tons of roses, to obtain one pound of the oil. Aconitine, extracted from the root of monkshood, is said to be the very strongest poison extant, the dose being one six-hundredth of a grain. It is sold at the rate of SIOB per ounce. Turning from the vegetable to the animal world in search of rare drugs, the writer refers to the musk of the Asiatic deer, which at $24 to S3O an ounce must be a prize to the wily hunter. In some of the tropical seas a floating, sweet smelling mass of ambergris is met with worth at present S3O per ounce, or S4BO per pound in the market. The ambergris is said to be the diseased biliary product of the whale. Another peculiar product In use as a drug is a solution of the pure venom of the rattlesnake, given occasionally in malignant scarlet fever. Costs of Office. On the day after his election the chief magistrate of a certain town In the Midlands who enjoys the reputation of being rather “near” in money matters was asked for a subscription to .the local football club. “I really can’t do it,” he replied. “Just look at the outlay I’ve already been put to through accepting office!” And he produced a small ledger inscrilied on the cover “Mayoralty Expenses." On tie top line of the first inside page was the entry, “Dress suit, £2.”—Reynolds’ Newspaper. THE “COUP DE JARNAC.” A French Adage and the Incident Upon Which It Rests. The “coup de Jarnac” has become a French proverb, and it serves tc distinguish a stroke as decisive as unforeseen which intervenes for the settlement of any affair. The adage rests upon an incident in the life of Gul Chabot, Seigneur de Jarnac, a noble of the court of Francis I. The He passed between him and Le Chateigneraie, the dauphin’s favorite. King Francis, however, forbade the duel. At the succession of Henry 11. the old quarrel was revived, and the overdue duel was fought on the plain of St. Germain with al! the formality of the ancient judicial combats and in the presence of the whole court. Jarnac was weaker and less agile than his adversary, who was one of the noted swordsmen of the time, but he had taken lessons from an Italian bravo. In the duel Jarnae waited for an opening and then dealt La Chateigneraie a heavy and unexpected stroke which hamstrung him. This was in 1447. Ten years later Jarnac was a captain in the defense of St. Quentin. Eventually he met his fate in a duel. But the “coup de Jarnac” is historic in the annals of sword play.—Argonaut.
