salt and little pepper, and rub soft
butter over them. Pare the sweet po-
tatoes, and cut a thin slice from each
end. Now scoop out the center of the
potatoe, making cavity large enough

salt and spread soft butter over the
surface. Place the birds in the pota-
toes, which should be set on end in a
shallow pan and in hot oven for fif-
teen minutes. Arrange the potatoes
on a hot disc, and garnish with pars-
ley. Serve very hot To have this
dish in perfection, butter must be used
generously.

USE OF ABSINTHE.
EVIL Effects Arising From the Indulgence
In This Strong Drink.


In This Strong Drink.
The physiological effects of absinthe
drinking have been very closely
studied in France, where the habit is
regarded with very grave appreheIl-
slons by scientists. The effects upon
the nervous system are much more
marked than those of the brandy hab-
it and resemble those of a narcotic
poison. DR.. Lancreau, of Paris, has
found chronic absinthism to be char
acterized by grave troubles of the SEN
slbilities, pricking of the skin, burn
ing sensations upon the soles of the
feet, shooting pains in the muscles,
construction of the epigastrum and
"hyperalgesie" at various points, espe-
cially in the neighborhood of the
vertebral column; by enfeeble-
ment of the muscular force and sight,
loss of memory, hallucinations, melan-
choly, restlessness and quarrelsome-
ness. Absinthism has this in common
with alcoholism, in that it affects the
digestive functions.
In acute absinthism the patient
loses power of recognition of most IA
miliar objects and persons. Convul-
sions are present, separated by I'M
equal periods of repose. In extreme
cases DR.. Lancreau has noted two
phases, one Of which he calls technique,
characterized by contraction of the
muscles of the chest and neck; the Sec
ond, clonique, in which the patient
throws his arms about and writhes up
on his couch, foams at the mouth,
cries and seeks to bite, the crisis of the
case being followed by comatose con-
ditiOn. Boston Herald.

PIONEER PR1N TING OFFICE.

A Veteran Newspaper Man Gives
His Experience as a Pioneer
Iowa Editor.
]. NJ. Brainerd, OF the Boone
Standard, one Of the pioneer Iowa
newspaper man. gave description
OF a 20 er prin ing office ir t le
west at a meeting OF the pper
DesMoines Editorial association at
Nevada. The office he described
was that OF the Clear Lake indie
pendent as published by Brainord
d Moves in 1880. The Nevada rep
resentative gave the following
synopsis of Mr.. Brainerd's paper:
The location, near the commune
ton of four county corners, gave
promise, under the law then pre-
Vailing, of securing two or more
tax lists to print, and with this en-
couragement and the good Will OF
the settlers at Clear Lake, a Sec
Ond-hand office was purchased on
time and wagoned across the coun-
try from NintOn. The paper thus
describes the office "housekeep-
ing" I'VE proceeded TO set up the
office in a single room, Is By ~,
one-story high, standing amid the
iack-oaks on the shores of the
lake. The two type racks were
given a position at the front,where
light was abundant; the press and
bank were relegated to the rear,
with its one window; the
stone and stove took the mid
die of the room, and against
the,side wall stood Eastwood table

which to forge editorials, while the
sink was somewhere about, pre-
sided over by the office towel in

was but wooden table zinc COW
cred, and four bundles of paper
were sufficient for the circulation
of the paper from December to lat 3
spring" A we'll recognized refer

pleted the description Of this primi'
tive newspaper establishment.
The newspaper itself was a folio
OF six columns, solid reprint on its
first page, a few editorials on the
second, what locals the field yield
ed on the third, and the fourth
filled with newspaper i'en in
solid minion. The CasmmentS Gifts
clientagr upon the first edition
were characteristic Of the time and
the people.
the thought and hesitation de-
voted to the selection OF job lot
of second hand type which by its
low price and the pressing needs Of
the office they were tempted to buy
and the pleasure experienced on its
safe arrival, must have recalled
similar experiences among the
older members present. The de-
