When the French house of deputies

which are pronounced dangerous" by
the Academy of Medicine, il recognized
the terrible spread of the green ter
ror," which is said to be responsible
for the great increase in insanity and
other similar Affections among the
French people Since 1894, as was
pointed out in the chamber of deputies,
the amount of absinthe consumed in
France has doubled itnow reachingt the
amount of 100000 litres, or nearly TO-
100000 quarts annually. This amounts
to one quart of absinthe to each three
Inhabitants, including men, women and
children. In Paris the reports of the
ministry of finance show that There is
an absinthe seller to every three build

green terror has killed many of the
brilliant men of the country. Guy de

DRINK QUESTION IN INDIA.
Becoming n Serious One Accordin q
TO SundRr singh Bhatia,
of That Country

At the worlds temperance con-
gress paper on the above topic was
read by Sundar Singh Bhatia, chair.
man of the Zafarwal Temperance so,
ciety. "The consumption of drink in
India" says the author, "is fearfully
on the increase among all classes, and
signs of general deterioration are
becoming apparent every day."
He then takes n brief survey of the
teaching of the various religions OF
that land, from which we Gull the
following:
The intoxicants are prohibited by
the Koran, and are therein described
as 'sins" and ''acts OF the devil"
a few words now as to custom and
tradition, which so long enforced the
above precepts. Tradition has pre-,
served a saying which shows the hor.
ror in which intoxicants used to be
held. We are told: 1.-The man who
even touches by his feet the broker
pieces of an earthern wine-can
throws seven of his paternal ancestors
down the depths of hell"
To a Mohammedan-"Pr /.
the flesh of goat which has par.
taken of grass grown where even @
drop of liquor fell" His prayers
would not be heard when drunk.
Prompt exclusion from caste used
to be the penalty for drinking.
The teachings did not confine them
selves to mere personal abstinence
but the liquor traffic also came in fol-
its share of evil repute and odium
The Kalals, or the publican class
came to be regarded as a low and
disreputable class in the community
with whom eating and mixing were
absolutely interdicted.
II now remains only to add a few
words as to the duty of religion. We
must all appeal to the Almighty to
open the eyes of our brethren who
are falling from their former posi-.
ton, and especially the class which
acted as the counsellor, guide and
friend of the people in this land.
But the people of England must
also share the blame. AS Dean Far.
rar said: "The bottle has everywhere
accompanied the Bible" and has in
india, at any rate, made this curse OF
mankind popular and respectable
companion, that which the Indian civ
ilization thought to be low and dis
reputable. We acknowledge that they
are doing us good now and are CRATE
full, but 1 appeal with confidence to
the representative of the cause in
this congress assembled. to help us
in stemming the tide ere it is too
late. viii they not heed this appeal
from distant land, peopled with fel-
low-subjects of the same crown-the
poorest in the whole civilized world
yet with the milestone of drink round
their neck? Famine is attracting at
tention, pestilence is evoking sym
pathy, and / trust this prayer for
help against the common foe will not
go in vain.

sinthe is the bane of the nation and il
killing France"
But absinthe is not the only drink OF
fashionable and cultivated Paris. II
has come to be the national drink OF
all classes of the French people. Wom-
en- drink it as well as men, and the chill.
dren of absinthe drinkers are often de-
formed and partially paralyzed.
Absinthe is liquor made by pound
ing the leaves and Towering tops of va.
rious varieties of wormwood which
grow from two to four feet high in
great profusion under cultivation, and
various other aromatic plants and GOV
ering the mass with alcohol. After
soaking for eight days the compound
is distilled, yielding a green liquor, TO
which certain percentage of anise
seed oil is usually added. 1t was first
made by couple of old Swiss women.
who found it good remedy and pre-.
Hentive for fevers. 1t is said TO be still,
possible to get the pure absinthe in thu
better class of French cafes, but in this
country and in England, as in the
greater number Of French drinking
places, the stuff served as absinthe is
said to be adulterated with all sorts of
vile drugs, including even vitriol, to
give it an extra bite" The best alb
slnthe is still made in Switzerland, i'm.
mense quantities of it being turned out
at Neufchatel, from which canton more
than 100000 gallons is annually ex.
ported, considerable portion eventu.
al y coming to the United States.
The effects of absinthe on people
who drink it habitually are admitted
by medical men to be worse than those
which follow the use Of brandy or other
strong spirits. 1t soon becomes to its
devotees the first necessity of life. To
getit they will sacrifice anything. TAX.
en- by novice and in small doses, it has
for a time pleasant effects.
In Paris and in the south of France
dts devotees are almost numberless. A
,Frenchman who goes TO his cafe for
luncheon or dinner sits at a table in
front, and, while his order is being
prepared, sips his glass of absinthe as
ne looks over the papers. From five to
seven o'clock in the evening is the rec.
ognized "absinthe hour" The absinthe
is usually prepared by being poured
into glass with some strip or lump
sugar, into which water is allowed to
fail drop by drop. The fashionable
Frenchman is not likely to drink more
than one glass before meal, and that
diluted, though French women are said
to drink it pure, and in the poorer sec
tons Of the city it is drunk before
during and after meals. In the better
cafes 1t is sold at ten cents drink, and
In the slums it may he had for a penny
a glass. The allowance of an absinthe
drinker must be regularly increased in
order to produce the desired and accus-
toned effect, and so sooner or later the
boulevard absinthe Slippers are almost
certain to become slaves Of the LIQUOR.
On men who are far gone with its
poison the "green terror" sometimes
has most remarkable effects. Baude-
laire, for instance, the poet who trans
lated Poe into French, wrote poems to
Richmond planet. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1883-1938, 1901-02-02

"The Green Spirit" and addressed il as
his mistress. He lived apparently for
nothing else than to drink absinthe,
and once in fl OF crazy enthusiasm
actually painted his hair vivid green
SO that it might correspond with the
color of the poison to which he was .
devotee.
Tortonis famous cafe was in the old
days the resort of coterie of writer's
and artists who came there before the
dinner hour to drink their absinthe.
For many years the green liquor was
drawn from the same old barrel, which
was periodically filled with absinthe
brought from Neufchatel. Among the
young men who were present every
evening in the crowd was Theodore
Barriere. He became n victim to the
absinthe demon in it's worst phases
and his disordered brain was filed for
months with the weirdest and most ter
rifying dreams and visions.
Alfred de Musset, the poet, became
such devotee to the green terror that
he made no effort in his later years to
stop its use. Regularly night after
night he went to his cafe and sat there
consuming glass after glass. until he
was in such a condition that he was
often picked up unconscious on the
streets
During the Paris exposition. Just
over, there was an example of the mad
freaks of an absinthe fiend. which for
moment startled thousands of people.
President Loubet was driven in bis
carriage TO the exposition grounds,
surrounded by cuirassiers. when a
wild-eyed man broke from the crowd
on the sidewalk, tore his way through
the line of soldiers and threw himself
at the door of the presidents carriage
All who looked on thought him an an
archist and were certain that he was
about to assassinate the president. In
stead, however, of making any hostile
demonstration he simply tossed an en-
velope into the carriage. 1t contained
the photograph of his niece. He was
Jaques Mara, waiter. in one of the
many phases of an absinthe drunkard
1t would be unpleasant reading tc
detail the manner in which most of the
devotees of the green terror come t.
their death. One of the early effect.
or absinthe is TO practically destroy the
power Of the digestive organs. A little
later it paralyzes the nerves and up
