ANCIENTS HAD ‘DRUG STORES’ Principal Studies of Toxicologists, However, Were Confined to Finding Antidotes to Polsons. .

‘The earliest pharmacopeia, or collection of formulas, showing evidence of supervision over drugs, is a Sanscrit work. -A Roman one was written in 42 A. D, and the next was an Arablan work written in 900 A. D. In Napies an academy was founded in the Eleventh century, and Salerno had one in the Seventh century. Through- the influence of these schools drug stores, called “stationares,’”” were established throughout Italy. i e Antidotes and disinfectants, classed with the opiates, were the main remedies in the time of Cordus. The principal representatives of those were the two electuaries, “Therias” and “Mithridat.,” . Mithridat was a compound invented by Mithridas Eupator, king of Pontus, who lived in constant fear of poison and studied toxicology by testing poisons on eriminals and taking their: antidotes himself every day. S : His system became S 0 accustomed to poisons that when, on the day .of his defeat by Pompey, he attempted to poison himself, the poison failed and he ordered one of his soldiers to kill him. Pompey found . the recipe, and it was improved upon by Damocrates, the physician of Nero, until it contained 55 ingredients. Koo

FORTUNE BECKONS TO SAILOR Always in the Minds of Whalers Is '~ the Possibility of a Find of Precious Ambergris. ? Ambergris is one of the most valuable products of the sea. The mariner who spies floating on the waves a grayish mass, fatty in appearance, will, if he knows what ambergris.is, betray considerable ex¢itement, fer the substance fetches high price. ~ Capt. James Earle of New Bedford, Mass., is said to have been the luckiest of all skippers in the old whaling days. 3 ! ' From a single sperm whale he realized over $lOO,OOO. It was not the 90 barrels of oil which gave the leviathan its extraordinary value, for that was sold for something like $4,000; but within the whale’s vast interior there was found a solid piece of ambergris weighing 780 pounds. : : $ This was the largest single piece of ambergris ever found, and that it came from one lone whale made the discovery more interesting to the scientific world. . : This 780-pound piece of ambergris was sold in chunks in all markets of the world for about $lOO,OOO, and it laid the foundation of wealth for almost “every man inteliested in the whaling expedition.: e

No “Oid "Maids” in Russia. A Russian girl of much over twenty who is unmarried (unless she is a nun) feels herself, and is thought to be, deeply disgraced. In Russia there, dare no old maids. Every woman in Russia marries or pretends to marry, be ‘she princess or peasant. 'When a Russian girl realizes that no one is .coming to'woo her, she leaves home. The peasant girl goes on 'a pilgrimage, seftles in some distant district as a widow, or returns home saying that she -married while; away, and_ that her husband died <during the honeymoon. f o The young lady goes upon far travels. In a year or two her friends hear that she has married abroad—an Englishman, an Italian, or an American. A year or two more and she returns to Russia, an ineonsolable widow. And she is never asked embarrassing questions. For in Russia nothing is considered in worse form than to mention a dead man to his living widow, < o

Civil War Conscription. . : During the Civil war both sides resorted to- conseription. May 3, 1863, the Federals passed a law calling every able-bodied citizen of military age into service. However, many persons were able to ‘buy themselves off on payment of $3OO, or by obtaining a gubstitute. In July of the same year the Union called 'all men between eighteen and forty-five into active service, without provision for exemption. In February, 1864, the law was extended to include all between seventeen and fifty. Unpopularity of conscription caused draft riots in New York and other places. : : The first Confederate conscription law of April, 1862, annulled-all-cen-fracts for voluntecrs for short terms,

holding them for two years, and made every white male between eighteen and: twenty-five liable to service at a moment’s notice. In September, 1862, the law was extended to all men between eighteen and forty-five,

Animal Sees Itself in Mirror. } A mirror is one of the toys which monkeys delight to play with. All animals can see a reflection in. a glass, if it is held in the right position, that is, at an amgle at which their eyes can focus upon it.. Even then, however, it may not recegnize the image. The reflection has, it is. true, form, but it lacks other characteristics, such as smell, and many beasts will turn away bored from what looks something like an animal,. but obviously isn’t. On the other hand, another animal will recognize the image as one of its kind, and will exhibit every symptom of curiosity, fear, or hate. But In no case does the animal appear to recognize the LI e SRR e A _ Ten acres in city limits for corn or oats m%%mmm@wx ship wil Irent'for cash or on shares. delphia Candy Kitchen without think10g of fine icg cream, . dait
