FEE MAN WITH THE IRON MASK.
The identity OF "The Iron Mask, or
The Man with the Iron Mask" has
never been satisfactorily established.
About the year 1879 he was carried with
the utmost secrecy TO the Castle Of Pig
nerol, and wore during the journey
black mask, which was not OF iron, bnt
Of black velvet, strengthened with
whalebone, and secured behind with
steel springs, or by means OF lock, as
some say. The orders were that il he
revealed himself he was to be killed. He
was conveyed in 1855 totheisle Of Sainte
Marguerite, and during The passage the
strictest watch was kept that he might
not allow himself to be discovered. The
unknown prisoner was in 1903 conveyed
to the Bastile. and was, as before, hid
den behind the mask In that prison the
captive remained nj i'll his death, in 1890.
On Nov. 20, the day after his death,
he was buried in the cemetery OF st.
Paul, under the name Of Machioti. The
unknown was treated with the greatest
respect, b,st so closely was he watched
that he was not permitted TO take off his
mask even in the presence OF the physi-
clan who attended him. Many cosiect-

had been largely bribed by Louis XIV,
and had pledged himself to urge the
Duke to give up to the French the for
treas Of Casale. which gave access to the
whole Of Lombardy. Louis found that
Matthioli was playing him false, and
lured him 70 tho French frontier, and
then had him secretly arrested and inn
prisoned. AS he was Minister Plenipo-

Am EnQerDrisInx Firm.

About eight months ago Massrs G
| S. Humphrey & Bro. conceived the
idea of inaugurating IN this city first
class hat and gents, furnishing store,
and with this object in view they pur-
chased the building No. 3O2 Market
street, remodeiled it and fitted it up In
elaborate style, and about seven months
ago threw the same open to the public.
The store was stocked with q fine line
of hats, caps and gents, furnishing
/ goods, and those who visited this palace
store on the opening night pronounced
1t, without a single exception, the finest
store in the city and the grandest they
ever saw. By strict ate ntion to business
and ever ready to please their patrons,
this firm has established i'll the short
space of seven months a reputation
second to none in the city. From time
to time their trade has rapidly increased
which clearly proves that our citizens
appreciate the Efforts put forth by this
firm. When they first started three
clerks were able to walt on the custO-
mers on a Saturday evening, but at the
present time the number of clerks has
been more than doubled. The stock ex
hibited by this irm is unsurpassed
Their derby hats for fall and winter are
manufactured expressly for them, and
hence their quality is guaranteed, and
those who purchase anything in this
line may rest assured that they receive
the equivalent for their money. In
their furnishing department may be
seen all the latest novelties in men {
line. Their motto is good goods at low
figures and strictly one price, which
assures justice to all and those who
patronize such firm can make their
purchases without any hesitation, and
they should show their appreciation OF
an enterprising firm like this by visit
ing them when they need anything in
their line.

artemisia absinthium. Other haV0ring
oils are always added, such as pepper.
mint, angelica, cloves, cinnamon and
aniseed. The color is produced by the
juice of nettles, spinach or parsley;
or in other words, is due to the common
green "chlorphyl" found in all green
plants. Most samples of absinthe con.
tain sugar. The average composition
of abinsthe is as follows: Absolute

gar, 100; ohlorphyl. traces; water, 45 %.
Alcohol causes drunken sieen; alcohol
