this country little ab3inthe is con

cafes frequented by foreigners one may
occasionally see men sitting over thci"
cloudy green liquor, but as "A rule the
"dri1 glass remains unused behind
the bar, and the absinthe bottle keeps
It company. The history OF the intro
duction Of this drink into France is Gu
rious. When the French soldiers were
sent to the Algerian war in lSii-7, they
were advised to mix ab5inthe VITA the
water they drank as a preventive
against fever. II was as pleasant a
tasting medicine as any man had ever
taken. and the result was that the
whole French army in Algiors became
az army OF abginthe drinkers. when
the soldiers returned to France they
brought tLa absinthe habit with them
and introduced their friends TO the new
drink. The aBsiutha' habit spread
throughout France ~ith remarkable

THE GREEN PERIL
THAT STALKS IN FRANCE
ALARMING HER LAWMAKERS.
In the last Sin Years the Consumption
OF Abslnthe Has Doubled In the French
Nation, Says This wrIter-Introdercd
as Medicine.

At last the French lawmakers have
weakened to the green peril of France
the deadly absinthe. says the New
York Press. The consumption OF this
drug has been for years the curse Of the
French people. Its effects upon the
nervous system are such that 1t Is
especially harmful to an excitable pao-
pie like the French. That It is respon-
stble for the increase in insanity in
France is shown by the fact that the
growth in its consumption goes hanIt
IN hand with the increase OF cases OF
mental arrangement. Cases of insanity
directly traceable to the use OF this
drug seldom or never recover. In large
quantities absinthe produces epilectic
commissions, as has been shown by ex-
pertinent. and the continued though
moderate use of II produces symptoms
of an epileptic character which are, not

three pints OF this mixture: One-half
pint of Jamaica rum. gill of hest
peach brandy, one gill of cognac. four
pounds of sugar loaf, five quarts of
water. When ice is added use less
water. for too much water will ruin

The oil in the lemon rinds is essential,

A Memory.

Slowly fades the misty twilight
Ger h thronged and noisy town:
storms are gathered In the distance.
And the clouds above II frown.
Yet before me leaves sway lightly
In the hushed and drowsy air,
And the trees new-clothed In verdure
Have no summer OF despair.
j have gazed into the darkness,
Seeking In the busy crowd
Fol a form once passing onward
With a step as firm and proud;
Fol a face upturned In gladness
To the window where / leaned,
Smiling with an eager welcome,
Though a step but interviewed.
Even now my cheek is flushing
with the rapture OF that gaze.
And my heart as then beats wildly.
Oh, the memory of those days
AS a dear. dear dream IL cometh.
Swiftly as a dream II fiiesl
No one springeth now unto me.
Smiling with such earnest eyes,
No one hastens home at twilight.
Watching for my hand to wave;
For the form | seek so vainly
SIeepeth In the silent grave;
And the eyes have smiled in dying
Blessing me with latest life
oh. my friend! above the discord
or the last, wild. earthly strife.

In considering the question OF
the volume of water that can be
applied without loss, we are led
back former paragraph where
data are given upon the relative
power of soils to absorb and re-
tain moisture. These physical
properties, however. are not the
only factors which determine the
volume of water that may be ap-
plied to an acre and the volume
that it can hold. The mass or
depth of the soil lisa still more sig
nifcant factor. Deep soils, such
as exist on these islands, where
the depth may be five feet or
more, can take up large volume
of water. Of course if large
volume is repeated often enough
and at short intervals, even such
a soil becomes saturated, and then
the water will escape and be watts.
ed. There are soils, however,
and over considerable areas of
the Hawaiian Islands. which are
relatively very thin, the depth
varying from. say 8 to IS inches
1t is apparent thatsuch soils even
if their absorptive power is up to
the average, cannot take up the
same amount of water as the
deeper spoken of, so that the es-
cape and waste of water is not
only great but much more rapid.
Moreover, when a shallow soil,
we will say II inches over the
level, is furrowed out for plant
ing and irrigation.
The depth of soil remaining at
the bottom of burrows is reduced
to 8 inches. When the water is
run into the burrows it has mere
ly 3 inches Of soil to absorb it and
prevent its escape. The soil Of
the ridges between the burrows,
of course could take care of the
the water if the latter were being
spred over the surface of the
whole ground, which isthe casein
natural rainfall. 1t has been OBJ
served, however, that the lateral
absorption is rather small COM
pared with the vertical rate of
absorption of the soil in the fur
row bottom, to which force has
to be added the action of gravity
in drawing the water down. DIR.
