Taking Glass of the Liquor Is Whszs
 Evenings Work.
 Although abGinth is to q Frenchma1 what whisky is to an American, hs never dreams of running behind screea and swallowing glassful in one tre. mendous effort There is something al- most poetic i'll the way Frenohmaa prepares and partakes of his beverage
 It always takes two walters to serve glass of ahsinth- Waiter No brings the tray, upon which arc 8 carafe frap- pc (ice water that has been frozen in the carafeA 8 tall glass, 0 tiny tray piled up with small blocks of sugar and a queer, flat, perforated spoon. Waiter No 2, who has remained discreetly in the rear, advances with the bottle of the popular stimulant said to be tho de- struction of so many Trench minds and bodies After saluting monsieur, the garcon carefully pours the desired quan- tity into the glass and goes on to serva some one else.
 Then for the first time the French man shows some signs of interest in the matter He relinquishes his hold on his cane, but one hand only; the other never deserts the cane He carefully places the perforated spoon across the top of the glass. On the spoon he bal ances, with careful nicety block of sugar and gently pours small quantity of ice water over tho sugar into the glass This done, he once more grasps his cane with both hands and apparent ly forgets ell about the beverage before him. The sugar slowly melts, drop by drop, into the glass, through the per. forations of the spoon. Quite awhile afterward, sometimes half an hour, the drinker again shows an interest in his beverage He looks to see if tha sugar has all melted; then he removes the spoon and raises the glass for sip o4S the oonooct.on-oIly :. sip, however flor it is sip by sip that Frenchman consumes his absinth, and glass of it., including the time passed in the prepa- ration, takes an entire evening. --Ohs- ssgo Tribuna

QUEER LAKE sALAWlK.
It's Waters Grow Warm In Winter, and
 Men Can Fish There With Clubs.

The rich plaeers of Klondike are not the only curiosity of the country tfagers, ed by tho Yukon. Not far from Dawson there is in Alaska really extraordina- ry lake which was named Salawik by it's discoverer, the Rev. F Tosi, mis, sionary among the savages
 This lake, which is 90 miles long and about 15 miles wide, is perhaps the on- ly one in all that extreme northern re- zion which does not freeze over during the winter. No communication has been discovered between it and the sea, nev- ertheless at high water upon the eeasta of tho northern ocean tho level of the lake rises, and it falls again at low tide.
 This sympathy with the sea does not extend to the point of making Salawik salt lake. On tho contrary, its waters are good to drink But another of it's peeuliarities Is that it's temperature rises i'll winter and falls in summer. When all tho water courses of the neighboring country are completely frozen over, Lake Salawik becomes so warm thas it is really pleasant to bathe in it. On the other hand, in the summer time ttas water is extremely cold
 This pecEAarity makes it in the win. ter time q Mecca of fishermen. The abundance of fish in the lake is so great that a person can almost catch them with the hand and can kill large quan- titles with club Here for the miners is @ source of food supply which they had not counted upon and which cer- tainly will contribute to diminish the cost of living, especially during the winter, in that inhospitable region. In an hour mnn can get enough fish to supply himseif for month, and of the very best quality, including salmon ranging from 30 to 50 pounds in weight
 It will not be astonishing if some fine day we may see upon the shores oz Lake Salawik one of those fashionable hotels which arc the glory of American watering places. Lewiston (Me.) Re pnblique

 Marie A. Millse, ip St Nicholas, teIla number of "stories o9 Elephanta s' Mrs. Millie says:
 Some time before the elephant hunt ! have described my husband was at station in Bengal. His work kept him ont nearly all day, and, being ill, l used to lie for hours in long garden chair on the yeranda, too weak to read or enjoy any more exciting amusemens than my eyes supplied to me.
 We had three elephants for our tenss and baggage, and one dear. creature used to feed from my hands every day and seemed as gentle as any pet dog os cat
 One of our government chaprasis was particularly devoted to her and inYari- ably shared his meal of fruit or flour cakes with his dumb friend. On par tiou1arly hot day the chaprasi. to my surprise, placed his tiny child of 6 mouths at the elephants feet. warning her expressiyely that the infant was in her charge and was to be cared for till his return. myself was an eyewitness of her wonderful sagacity. 2 Large ha- mana trees and fig trees grew around. and. to my surprise. the elephant hrolce of one of the former's spreading leaves, held it like fan in her trunk and from nme to time gracefully waved 1t ovea the s1umbering child. whether to tenn. per the heat of the atmosphere or to keep off flies, am unable to say. The gentle way in which she moved her feet over the child and across to each side astounded me. I sent for a white loaf and some oranges. and, calling her by name (she was never chainedl, tried fn vain to tempt her to my side on the low veranda- Nothing would induce her to leave her charge. The warm air and monotonous wave of the swinging fan overpowered me with drowsiness to which yielded, and, after sleep of some duration, I was awakened by quiet, subdued snorts beside me To my surprise found that the chaprad had just returned to his offspring, and Ehe elephant stood near the yeranda be- aide me, patiently waiting and gently asking for the tempting dainties 10 hravely withstood for over two hours-
