Why in the world the people who thus neglect their reinedlua utter ordering thum compounded will go to tho trou ble and expense of consulting a doctor Is more thnn I can figure out. If they don't want to take the stuff prescribed, they certainly don't bavo to, but they might at least hare the grace to como and take It home after we have gone to tho trouble to prepare It and not throw It back, n dead loss on our bauds. Why, I've got a regular morgue back there for the repose of uucalled for bot tles of medicine.

"M&st of these nuisances In tho drug business nre women, and many of their prescriptions have been written by out of town doctors several months or, in Home cases, years ago. In such cases the customer probably baa no Intention of coming back for the medicine, but merely wishes It compounded through some freakish fancy. In order to guard against loss through such crazy whims we ought by right to demand n deposit on all proscriptions to be culled for lat er on, but such an Innovation would undoubtedly bring out a mighty howl, nnd we have never had tho courage to suggest it." New York Press. A PECULIAR HOTEL. II" IWiotna TVnnu-il l'or Stnlca Inalrad of llflnir Numbered. "lu a little town In tho backwoods of Mississippi." remarked a traveling man, "there 1b a peculiar hotel. It Is Just like nuy other hotel except In the way the rooms nre named. They are not numbered, as Is geuurally done, but each room Is named for a state of the United States. "Whun I stopped at tho place, I was assigned to a room called 'Delaware' It was correctly named, too, for It was one of the smallest rooms in the bouse. A man who was occupying 'New Hampshire' made complaint to the landlord that the man in '.Maine' was drunk and boisterous and was thus keeping hlui awake. This seemed strange, when wo recall that Mnlno Is it prohibition state. Two men up lu '.Montana' were keeping up the repu tation of the wild west by engaging In a noisy poker game. A big, fat capi talist had 'New York,' which was the best worn lu the house. The room named for Alabama la too ordinary for anything, and a farmer was occupying It the night I was there. "It waa funny to stand In the otllcc and hear n bellboy tell tho clerk that towel were wauted In 'Iowa' and that the fellow lu 'North Dakota' was kick ing like a steer because he had no tiro! 'Send two Manhattan cocktails up to .Mississippi' was one of the orders that the clerk gave. 'He suru to call the man lu Florida at 5 o'clock In the morn ing,' said one of tho employees. And thus It went. ThU' hotel la a curiosity to thu traveling public. It Is conduct ed by an eccentric old fellow, but where he conceived the Idea of naming room a after states I do not know." Illrmlugham Age-Herald. ' American Trade I.onic Aaru, To the notices which we have from time to time publUhed of the favorable posture. of trada we may add a grati fying view of our commerce with the United States. Its extent Is probably more considerable than our readers would Imagine. The exports from Scotland of manufactured goods to va rious parts of thu Union will this year amount to about 2,000,000. The mag nitude of tho sum will appear more Hurprlslng when we consider the re strictions which prohibit us from tak ing in exchange agricultural produce, A trade so Important It behooves us to cherish with all possible care, and It Is gratifying to think that customers so valuable aro a free people, llttlo likely to tnipcdo her prosperity by projects of ambition.
