Saffron, be points out, would strike an ordinary observer as decidedly expensive at f 13 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 which It takes to make a pound. Attar of roses sells at $112 odd per pound, and It takes 10,000 pounds, or nearly five tons of rosea, to obtain one pound of the oil. Aconltlne, extracted from the root of monkshood, is said to be tbe very strongest poison extant, the dose being one six-hundredth of a grain. It is sold at the rote of $108 per ouuee. 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 $30 an ounce must be a prize to the wily hunter. In some of the tropical seas a floating, sweet smelling mess of am bergris is met with worth at present $30 per ounce, or $460 per pound in the market. Tbe ambergris is said to be the diseased biliary product of tbe 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. THE "COUP DE JARNAC." A Frenoh Adags and the Incident Upon Which It Rests. The "coup de Jaruac" has become a French proverb, and It serves to dis tinguish a stroke ns decisive ns un foreseen which intervenes for the set tlement of any affair. The adage rests upon an incident in the life of Gui Chnbot, Seigneur de Jarnac, a noble of tbe court of Francis I. The lie pass ed between him and Le Chatelgnerale, the dauphin's favorite. King Francis, however, forbade the duel. At the suc cession of Henry II. the old quarrel was revived, and the overdue duel was fought on tbe plain of St Germain with all the formality of the ancient Judicial combats and In the presence of the whole court Jarnac was weak er and less agile than bis adversary, who waa one of tbe noted swordsmen of the time, but he hod taken lessons from an Italian bravo. In the duel Jarnac waited for an opening and then dealt La Chatelgnerale a heavy and unexpected stroke which ham srrun,h!m. .This was In 1447;. JTen years later Jarnac was a captain In the defense of St. Quentln. Eventual ly he met his fate in a duel. But the "coup de Jarnac" is historic In the an nals of sword play. Argonaut Monkeys and Parrots. A lung specialist was talking about a famous scientist who had contracted consumption from a lot of consumptive monkeys that he had been experiment ing upon. "This should be a lesson and a warn ing to us all," be said, "for nothing is more dangerous to the lungs' health than to have a monkey about the house. Practically all monkeys have consumption In this climate, and It Is Just as easy to take consumption from a monkey as from a man or woman. It Is the same with parrots. They, too, have consumption, and they, too, are most apt to give the disease to those who pet them. As for me, rattier than live In the same house with a pet mon key or a pet parrot I would take a cot In the hopeless ward of some con sumptives' hospital." New Orleans Times-Democrat. AN ILL FATED SHIP. Mystery and Tragedy That Encom passed the Great Esstern. There was a mystery abou mt 111 fated ship. Nothing went rlgnt with her. She stuck at the launch, nud it cost an extra $350,000 over nnd above the sum set asido for the purpose to get her into the water. On her trial trip her boilers burst, killing some of the stokers. Then she ran aground and carried on so outrageously that her crew thought her surely bewitched. She had started badly. While she was building a pay clerk sent by one of the contractors with $0,500 in wages for tbe men disappeared. It was not uunnturully assumed that be had bolt ed with the money. His wife and family were left unprovided for, with the stigma of his supposed crime upon them. Thirty years after her launch the Great Eastern went Into the cemetery at Birkenhead to be broken up. While she was being taken to pieces the ship (treakers discovered between her Inner and outer casings of steel the skeleton of a man. Papers which had fallen from his clothes enabled bis Identity to be traced. It was the skeleton of the pay clerk who thirty years before had disappeared. There was no mon ey; that was never recovered. The supposition Is that the poor fel low on going on to the ship was pounc ed upon by workmen who knew that he bad tbe money with him; that they stunned him and, having a small place In the side of the vessel to complete, crammed his body In and built him up In It No reward would have Induced a sailor to sail in that vessel had he known of the terrible secret sealed up In her walls. Chicago News. LAFCADIO HEARN. The Way the Writer Got Even With the Heartless Editors. "Lafeaiiio Hearn, that wonderful writer, worked on newspapers In bis youth," unid a publisher, "and the ruthless way his studies were chang ed, cut and butchered was a great woe to his heart. "In after years Ilearn took a mall clous Joy In collecting stories about editors editors and their superior and omniscient way with manuscript "One of his stories was of an editor to whom a subscriber said: "'I enjoyed that poem on the three ages of man In today's paper, Mr. Sheers; I enjoyed It Immensely. Do you know, though, I thought that it was originally written the seven ages of man!' " 'So it was, sir; so it was,' said Edi tor Sheers pompously. 'Yes, the ex tract was originally written the seven ages of man, but I had to cut it down for lack of space.' "Another story concerned a weather report A reporter, discussing the weather, wrote that winter still lin gered In tbe lap of spring. "The editor as he read over the arti cle called the reporter up to his desk and told him that he would cut out that sentence about winter lingering In spring's lap. lie said tbe Idea was good enough and original and all that sort of thing, but It would not do to publish because the high moral tone of tbe paper had to be maintained In a town full of school girls."

Boat tho First Locomotive on the rd O. Road. The first I.Koui;;e on tbe Baltimore and Ohio had sails attached. So did the cars. Those sails were hoisted when the wind was In the right direc tion so as to help tbe locomotive. Tue rivalry between tbe railroads Ubiug locomotives and tho.se using nurses was very bitter. In August 1S30, an actual trial of speed was held ltween a liiirre cud one of the pioneer locomotives, viliich did not result In favor of the locomotive. The race was on tbe Baltimore and Ohio, the locomo tive belug oue built by Peter Cooper, who also acted as eugiuecr. The hone, a piiiant gray, was In the habit of pulling a car on a track par allel to lli.it used by the locomotive. At fiit the jjniy had the better of the race, but when be was a quarter of a mile nbejd Mr. Cooper succeeded In getting up enough steam to pass the horse amid terrific applause. At that moment a band slipped from a pulley, and, "though Mr. Coojier lacer ated his hands trying to replace It the engine stopped and the horse passed it and came In tbe winner."
