kind, single dishes for vegetables, condi-

MANY FORMS OF INEBRIETY
Nothing Is Too Nauseating for Some Tastes
Women Sip Cologne and
Ether
New York Mercury.

New York Mercury.
A wild passion for castor oil would, if
introduced into one of Mr.. W. S. Gilbert's
libretti, rank as one of his most topsy-
turvy conceits but such a thing is an
actual fact, a case being known in which
man contracted the same sort of crav-
ing for the stuff that others have for in
toxicating liquors.
A well-known physician, interviewed by
the Sunday Mercury, mentioned several
other cases of extraordinary forms of i'm
ebriety. For instance, the wife of a Bap-
fist minister was in the habit of dosing
herself with Epson salts, and al last to
such an extent that she frequently took
a pound and half a day. Another Gu
r.ous case is that of a student who be-
came inordnately fond of spirits of Law
ender, which he took in large quanti-'
ties.
A recent celebra ted case revealed the
fact that arsenic was immoderately in
dulged in as pick me-up by some mis-
guided persons; and there is case on
record in which boatman plying for
hire in the harbor was in the habit of re-
freshing himself with a quantity suffi-
cient to kill four ordinary men.
Nothing Too Nauseous for Some.
Nothing is too nauseous for some de-
PRAYED tastes. Paraffin, iodine and cod
liver oil are known to exercise sway over
certain unhappy mortals, while others
are equally slaves to capsicum or ginger
essence.
Among the ladies of the upper circles
eau de cologne, either dropped upon lump
sugar or mixed with water is extensively
used; and some ladies even sip the spirit
from the bottle till they sink into a state
of insensiblity and are put to bed by
their maids.
In Ireland, as will be remembered,
there was not long ago an outbreak of
ether drinking which created some stir.
An attempt was made to stop it by meth
ylating the ether so as to make it UNI
pleasant to the taste, but in vain. In
deed, methylated spirit itself is known
to be the favorite tipple of some persons.
Ether has great popularity among the
poor IRISH because of its intoxicating
qualities and also for it's cheapness. Two
penny worth was quite sufficient to make
one helplessly drunk.
A Slave to Drugs.
A case is on record of a doctors wife
who became a slave to chlorodyne, and
would pawn anything she could lay her
hands on to get money for the purchase
of the fascinating drug. Many other cases
of "chlorodynomania," as 1t might be
called, are known, and somewhat akin to
this is the habit of inhalng chloroform
The faVorite way of taking the drug
is to pour a few drops on the handker
chief and hold it to the face. In short
time delightful visions appear, sense
of peace steals over one and insensibility
ensueS The consequences of the habit,
If persisted in, are terrible In the ex-
IRENE, involving mental and physical
ruin.

COULD NOT SEE A JOKE.

An Editor Who Compiled Queer Diction-
airy for Children.
Charles Monselet, a Frenchman of let
tiers, published not long ago comic sci
entific dictionary" for the benefit of chill
dren, who found no little amusement in
his odd accounts of things in the animal
world which were perfectly familiar
to them, but which were described In a
rather fantastic way In Mr.. Monselets
book.
The editor of a certain scientific jour-
nal, however, was much surprised and
shocked at M Monselet's ignorance when
he took up the book, and he wrote an ar
ticle about it in his paper which ran as
follows:
"A certain M. Monselet has published
a dictionary for the use of children
which contains definitions showing the
most extraordinary ignorance, such as
the following:
"Sardine-A little fish without any
head, which lives in oil.
LAS if a fish could live without any
head, and in oil.
Another definition:
"Parrot--A bird somewhat resembling
the pigeon. Generally green, when 1t Is
not red, or yellow, or blue. Cockatoos
sometimes live up to 100 years old ex-
cept when they are stuffed, and then
there is no limit to the length of their
life.
Now it happens that the parrot is
not a pigeon at all, and never has the
colors that M. Monsalet gives him, and
in short, this M. Monselet knows no more
about natural history than he has grains
of common sense
The editor knew great deal of science
but he did not know, as the children did
how to take a joke.-Rehoboth Sunday

GEN. MULHoLLAND's STORIES.
They Are of War Times and Won Hearty
Applause at the Shoreham.

Applause at the Shoreham.
| Washington Post.
Brimful of funny anecdotes that had
| no chestnutty flavor was the speech Of
| Gen. st. Clair Mulholland at the Second
corps banquet at the Shoreham Friday
night. The Irishman largely predom-
| mated in these anecdotes, of which a
| couple of specimens from the memory of
a guest will be found below.
McCook's regiment was In front of the
enemy, and, expecting to make an at
| tack next morning, he mounted his horse
to ride down to the picket line and ex-
anime the situation. With this purpose
In view he called on a soldier to accom-
pany him, and the commanding officer
made detail. McCook was astonished
when little red-headed fellow rode up
to him and touched his cap ready for
this service for he was a mere boy,
weighing not more than seventy-five
pounds and looking scarcely bigger than
the Sharp's rifle he carried.
You going with me?" asked McCook.
The lad saluted and replied in the af-
firmative.
Were going right to the front" said
the officer. do you know that it is very
dangerous?"
Yes, your honor" said the youth.
Have you been under fire." inquired
the officer.
Il have, your honor"
do you suppose you have the back
bone to keep up with me wherever | go?"

An if it's heavy firing an we get among
the bullets and we're kilt you won't be in
h half mint before L come a-tappin'

They went TO the front
The second story was located at the
hospital. One of the chaplains regiment
was very badly wounded and certain to
die. But the chaplain was tired-the
chaplains were often tired in the army,
you remember-and so he went to bed,
and he left special word with Sergeant
Joe that he was to be called If Barney
showed signs of immediate collapse
When he arose in the morning he wa<p
much surprised to hear that Barney had
died during the night. He upbraided the
watcher with not having reused him in
time to administer the last consultations
to the dying soldier.
