Dangers of Alysinthe.

In The Bulletin General de Therapeu-
tique DR.. Roux, who has been making
chemical study of absinthe, finds that
its important elements are bitter prin-
-absinthine-and volatile essen
tial oil. He attributes to the former the
favorable results sometime obtained 10y
the medicinal use of absinthe-results
which bis own researches have confirmed.
But he finds that the oil of absinthe is
distinguished from other essences by its
dangerous property of producing form
of drunkenness characterized by epilep-
tiform attacks.

The "Iron Clad" Strawberry,

This is undoubtedly the strawberry for
the great west and south. 1t is the
1ankest and most vigorous grower We ever
saw, has immense feeding roots, forms
larger stools, and makes more fruit germs
in the fall of any sort in existence. 1t is
perfectly free from rust or sunburn, never
effected by drouth, (went through the Sc
we're drouth oflsSl and 1888, without the
slightest injury. 1t is five days earlier
than Wilson, an immense yielder, in size
and shape resembles Sharpless: color re-
sembles Kentucky, blossoms perfect Or
hermaphrodite, has shipped 300 miles
safely to market, and sold higher than
Wilson's. This plant is the acme of per-
lection; it is entirely distinct from ally
known strawberry. We have tested it
four years, have out forty acres of all kinds
of strawberries, and know whereof we
speak, when we say its equal has never
yet been found, and we are confident it
willreyolutionize the business of strawberry
growing We say this candidly and as
suredly after fifteen years experience in
growing strawberries. Every one should
plant some of this sort, in every cline, on
every soil.

turned sharp corner, left the dull

seen on fan, panel, folding book,

to have been released, and

about in blue blouse and pig tail.
"Never did an indetatigable nation so
perpetuate faithful facsimilies of itself,
its people, customs and fashions as the
Chinese do in the grotesque, high
