"The Prescription Store" York Road 21-iy GOVANS, BALTIMORE, MD HELPED OUT REIGNING BULL Kindly Act of New Member of Herd Something the Keepers Had Never Seen Before. Usually when a new bull is taken into the buffalo herd at Golden Gate park in San Francisco his standing is promptly decided by a challenge from the head of the herd. The newcomer either wins the fight and in turn is exalted to the rank of sovereign or he is defeated and shown his place. But a new bull, Mogul, recently proved to be an exception. He was two years old, a fine example of what a young buffalo should be, and he seemed thoroughly content to mind his own business and to let the, other bulls mind theirs. No one would have known that there was a new buffalo in the herd. One morning the keepers saw that there was something in the air. Mogul was sniffing round the reigning bull. They were apart from the herd, heads down, and were moving round slowly. It was the queerest beginning of a bullfight that the keepers had ever seen. It appeared as if Mogul would knock out the old bull with one toss. As they moved round and round Mogul seemed to be horning the other bull in the eye, and the other bull did not seem to be making the least resistance. Then they pulled apart and Mogul put down his head. The old bull had a bunch of thorny cactus sticking over his right eye, and Mogul was horning it off as best he could with his clumsy short little horns. Finally, after two more attempts, circling round as before, he got the cactus off, and each moved away about his own business.—Youth's Companion. FIRST UNITED STATES COINS "Fugios/' Made of Copper, Were the Earliest Issued by Direct Authority of Congress. The "fugios" were the earliest coins Issued by the authority of the United States, and were of copper. It was in April, 1787, that the congress of the United States authorized the board of treasury to contract for 300 tons of copper coin of the federal standard "agreeably to the proposition of Mr. James Jarvis, provided that the premium to be allowed to the United States on the account of the copper contracted for be not less than 15 per cent," and that "it be coined at the expense of the contractor, but under the inspection of an officer appointed and paid by the United States." It is presumed that this copper coin contract was made as directed for on Friday, July 6, 1787, the congress adopted this resolution: "That the board of treasury direct the contractor for the copper coinage to stamp on one side of each piece the following device, viz.: Thirteen circles linked together and a small circle in the middle with the words 'United States' around it, and in the center the words, 'We are one.' On the other side of the same piece the following device, viz.: A dial with the hours expressed on the face of it, a meridian sun above, on one side of which is to be the word 'Fugio' and on the other side the date '1787'; below the dial the words, 'Mind your own business.'" Autograph Hunter's Coup. Autograph hunting sometimes proves a most profitable pursuit. Lud-ovic Picard, a French Bohemian of the '50s, made a steady income out of it for several years. One of his most successful coups was accomplished with a letter in which he posed as "a member of the unhappy race of the unappreciated who is meditating suicide and seeks for counsel and aid in this hour of sore distress." This drew a number of celebrities, including Beranger and Heine. Lacor-daire sent him ten closely written pages, which were promptly converted into cash. Dickens also fell a victim of his wiles and took the trouble to answer him in French. Eventually Picard was shown up in the press by Jules Snn deau and had to seek another occupation. Englishman on Papal Throne. Pope Adrian IV was by birth an Englishman, and the only one of that nation who ever occupied the papal chair. He was a native of Langley, near St. Albans, in Hertfordshire. He was born before A. D. 1100, his real name being Nicholas Breakspear. He was said to have left England as a beggar, and to have become a servant or lay brother in a monastery near Av^non, in France. Here he studied with such diligence that he was elected abbot in 1137. He was made cardinal, bishop of Alba in 1146, and went to Denmark and Norway. Upon his return to Rome Nicholas was unanimously chosen pope against his own inclination, in November, 1154, holding that post until his death at An-agni, September 1, 1159. Alarm Clock for the Deaf. An alarm clock which will prove useful to the deaf and also to those whom the ordinary alarm clock fails to arouse has recently been patented. At the hour at which the alarm is set not only does the bell ring but a wooden ruler taps the sleeper gently on the head until the "cease action" lever )s pulled. This should prove efficacious except for those who sleep with their heads under the bed clothes. The invention has received the patronage of the American Association of the Deaf and Dumb. LAID BY FOR THE WINTER Housewives of Early New Yorfc Dis-satisfied With Less Than a Six-Months' Supply. The eleventh hour, or, rather, six o'clock rush to the delicatessen store that marks the approach of dinner In these days of frenzied housewifery would have seemed a strange madcap phenomenon to the good housewives of old New York. They would have felt ill provided should they have had less than six months' provisions in the larder. According to the memory of one small boy of seventy-five years ago the thrifty Dutch folk who lived along the west side of what is now downtown New York laid in stores in October and November to last until April or May. They bought a quarter of beef, a hog or a sheep to furnish the pieces de resistance of the winter's meals. The beef was corned or smoked. The pork and mutton was similarly cured and put away. The smoking was done in public smoke houses, maintained for profit. A barrel of flour, two or tnree of apples and potatoes added the vegetable content to the menus. Other supplies to lend variety were laid by in lesser quantities. All sorts of farm products were purchasable in the fall at minimum prices, because at that time many sailing vessels and barges came down the river from upstate laden with stores. As winter and the closing of the river approached the farmers and merchants grew anxious to dispose of their stocks and the townfolk consequently bought at an advantage, which they were not slow to take.—New York Evening Sun. CREED FOR EVERY AMERICAN Undeniable "Good Thing" to Which All Citizens Should Subscribe and Pass Along. Nearly every reader is familiar with the expression, "It's a good thing, pass It along." The other day attention was attracted by a "good thing" which is here passed along. It is a "financial creed" for every man, woman and child suggested by the savings directors of the 12 federal reserve districts. Read it carefully. It is as follows: I believe in the United States of America. My opportunity and hope depend upon her future. I believe that her stability and progress rest upon the industry and thrift of her people. Therefore, I will work hard and live simply. I will spend less than I earn. I will use my earnings with care. I will save consistently. I will invest thoughtfully. To increase the financial strength of my country and myself, I will buy government securities. I will hold above barter the obligations my country thus incurs. I will do these things to insure the greatness of America's future. Fish Nets, the First Lace. Examine a piece of fine and costly lace. What is it fundamentally? It is a net. By origin it is a fish net. The first lacemaker was a fisherman, or perhaps his wife. All of the beautiful laces we know today are developed from that clever Invention, the fish net. They hark back, therefore, far into the prehistoric. The first white men who came to America found no lacemakers on this continent, but they did find the Indians weaving fabrics of cotton, yucca and other fabrics, with elaborate pattern designs. They were particularly skillful at a certain sort of "drawn-work." The California Indians of today make cotton lace, but the art has been taught to them by white people. The pottery they make for sale is sometimes adorned with this lace. Which suggests mention of the fact that the early Indians often decorated their pottery with textile patterns by impressing the latter upon the clay while soft. Women Demand Grit. If you have the grit you can command respect. The world doesn't want any fawning apologies. That may serve a purpose under some "weak sister" circumstances, but never under the greatest need. Some folks wonder why it is that "all the world loves a lover." The fact is a lover must have grit. Women want their heroes to be leaders, daring, irresistible. They want men who do things. They even like to be made do a few things they protest but enjoy just the same. Weaklings do not dare such audacity. They fear they will lose the maiden's smiles. As a matter of fact it's the daring and the assurance that wins. "Faint heart never won fair lady" we are told. Even in lovemaking you must have grit. And what's more the fellow that does not have grit doesn't deserve to win. Why should a woman waste herself on a molly-coddle?
