''You-don't-say-so?" was the amazed

The next acquaintance remarked as he

That broke the combination. The re-

declined to notice any more of his

How the Insidious Poison Slowly Destroy.
the Mind of the Drinker.
The severest case OF delirium tremens
resulting from whisky is nothing com.
pared to the delirious madness caused
by abSinthe.
Absinthe is drink of French inven.
ton, but is now used more extensively
in America than in France, and in this
country the peculiarities of the climate
make it far more deadly than it is in its
native home, where it is taken with
moro care than il is here
The Frenchman knows that an over
dose should be avoided. Americans
want to drink as much of it as they
would of whisky, thus making no allow

this Circeian cup This liquor consists
essentially of brandy or alcohol, into
which the vO atile oil of worm wood has
been incorporated by distillation 1t is
favored with the oil of anise and sweet
ened, and several other less important
f1avors are added ID give il its peculiar
aroma.
The drinker of absinthe at first does
not observe any thing especially unusu-
al in his general health, but as the drug
gets his system more fully in its grip
sleeplessness and unsteadiness of the
nerves come on.
He soon loses all mental will power,
and is unable to focus his thoughts on
any subject for ten minutes together.
The eyes are early affected by the drug.
Double sight, and even blindness, is an
early symptom Of the hopeless stage of
this habit
Not long ago / was consulted by
well-knoWn dramatic writer who had
become tn. victim of the abs nthe habit
He had all the symptoms referred to-
but when under the influence of drink
he also had wonderful power of mental
concentrations, in which he was enabled
to VIZ te articles for the press and even
parts OF plays.
He had been a well-known play
wright, and it was during the writing of
a well-known play that he first took the
drink that kills. | was unable to help

wastefal Machinery of Elections.

The people of the United States have
happy faculty of deluding themselves
with the idea that their machinery of
government is inexpensive. They point
with pride to the fact that the judges of
the courts and the executive and legis-
lative officers of the country cost less in
actual salaries than officers performing
corresponding functions in Europe But
what is lost sight of in this boast is the
enormously wasteful and expensive ma
,hinery of elections which has grown up
side by side with American office-seek-
ing; the cost of which, added TO that aris-
ing from the waste and corruption of in

is a seeming saving, there is in fact
trightful waste, which must always exist
