Dangers Which Threaten France Through
Its Use.
The distillation of absinthe is carried
on in the valley of the river Aicues
in eastern France. It's production and
use in the form of liquor are SO rapidly
increasing and with such unfortunate
results on the French population as to
constitute the question one Of national
Importance. There are two species of
the absinthe plant-.the large and a
sman-which are used respectively in
the manufacture of absinthe liquors
and vermouth. The larger of these,
generally known as wormwood, grows
abundantly in various districts of CEN
trail Europe, notably in Jura and
French Alps. In the manufacturing of
the liquor the upper leaves and twigs
OF the plant are maoerated with hysop,
calamus, chronicle, anise, fennel, bad
lane and other vegetable substances.
The decoction thus obtained is distilled,
and the product treated with alcohol.

DYapepata of the Mind.

Benjamin Franklin said he made him.
self an educated man ::simply by learn
ing things when he wanted them.
Whenever he had use for any kind of
knowledge, he acquired it. His appe-
title was good, his mental digestion was
in order, and hence he assimilated his
knowledge and made it part of his in
tel1ectual organization. A man cannot
be made wise on knowledge that he
doesn't want to learn, any more than
he can be made strong upon pie which
he doesn't want to eat. Compulsory
pie can only result in dyspepsia, and
compulsory knowledge is inevitably
followed by intellectual indigestion.
There are thousands of men who are
graduating from our colleges who, from
the very nature of the case, must be
mentally dyspeptic.-Boston Globe.

HOW SOME BUILDERS BUILD.

MortGaSinG One Story to Get Money to Con.
struct Another-Who Gets the Profite
A glance at the business directory
will reveal the fact that there are
many hundreds Of parsons in this city
who follow the calling of builders.
Few of them are rich, all of them are
hard workers. The development of the
upper west side OF the city and the an
nexed district has been the cause of so
many launching out into this branch of
business.
A prominent builder told Mail and
Express man the other day that some
sO-called builders resort to all sorts of
schemes to procure money enough to
put up structure and pay the labor
ers. He said that one of these builders
who can scrape up few thousand dol
lars will buy lot worth seven or
eight thousand dollars, making q
small cash payment, giving a mort
gage for the balance. Provided with
his lot, he can go TO one of the many
loan associations, and, by agreeing to
pay an exorbitant shave besides the
interest, procure what is known as a
builders loan.''
The cellar is then dug and the
foundation laid. Credit can be had
for bricks enough to put up the base
ment or ground story, and arrange
ments can be effected with a dealer
for brOwnstone. AS soon as the first
story is up the builder at once pro-
ceeds to raise more money by mort
gaging it, With the money he receives
he builds the second story, which, as
soon as completed, he mortgages, ap-
plying the proceeds to the construction
OF third story, and follows out the
same line of conduct if q fourth story
is needed. When the building is CON-
pleted it is patched with three or four
more mortgages.
1t is then put on the market and a
sale is often forced. A Spectator buys
up the mortgages, and after giving the
builder few hundred dollars from
his profits puts it in the market. The
builder goes on the hunt for another
lot upon which to put up another
building, satisfied with small profit.
The man with the money who buys up
the mortgages is the one who reaps the
benetit.-N. Y. Mail and Express.
