AMERICAN ABSINTHE.
ssrhe Green Terror of France" Pro-
duced In Conside rabIe GUAM
titles In wisconsin.

"Absinthe, the green terror of
France" said botanist of the ag-
ricultural department, reports the
Washington Evening Star, sis now
being produced in considerable guam
titles in this country and is being
used to an alarming extent. In some
sections of Wisconsin wormwood is
being cultivated, and it is from this
plant that oil is distilled for making
absinthe. There are several worm
wood farms in that state.
"The Wisconsin growers of worm
wood and distillers of the oil at first
shipped nearly all their output to
Europe, but now they find a good
market for it in this country, and at
almost fabulous prices. OF course the
drug houses of America furnish a
ready home market. The oil is EN-.
ployed in many ways, but its chief
uses are in the making of absinthe
and liniments."

the name and regiment of the recipi-
ent, as we'll as the date on which he
won it and as soon as this is done it
is dispatched from the makers to the
sovereign to bestow upon the hero.
1t is strange to have to record that
the first Victoria cross was won by a
sailor for it has come to be looked
upon as almost entirely a military
decoration, yet such is the case-and
it is still stranger that the deed which
gained it was performed a year and
seven months prior to the institution
of the decoration. Another feature
is that at the time of winning it he
was a boy serving his time as a mid
shipman on board H. M. S. Hecla, and
the story of how Charles Davis Lucas,
now an admiral, won the cross as
MILDLY will always form one of the
most glorious stories among the many
in its history. 1t was at the lombard
ment of Bomarsund. in the Baltic, on
June 81, 1854, that live shell dropped
in the midst of group of men of
whom young Lucas was in command.
The fuse was almost burned away,
and an explosion seemed imminent,
but without moments hesita tion the
young midshipman sprang forward,
grasped the spluttering she'll in his
hands and, rushing to the side of the
vessel. hurled it overheard, where it
exploded before it reached the water.
Such an act as this displays the sub
limest courage, for it combines intelli-
gence and Instantaneous action, and
n a boy it was especially meritorious,
and so young Lucas was chosen as the
first recipient of the decoration IS
months afterward. The winning of
cross. IL may be explained, carries
with IL an annuity of 6 10, which may
be increased TO $50, payable quarter

PToMAIN-PoIsoNING.
Frequently Caused by Eating Foods
Containing the Germs-Symp-
toms and Remedies.

This is a term used popularity to
designate the symptoms due to poi
soning by damaged food. Like many
other popular terms-and not a few
scientific ones-it is mot strictly cor
rect, for in the great majority of cases
of blood-poisoning the offending mat
ter is not ptomain at all, but poison
elaborated by certain bacteria present
in the food. This poison NJ y already
exist in the food, or it may be produced
in the sufferers body after the bac-
terra have been admitted. In other
cases the food has not begun to putre-
fly, nor has it been contaminated with
poison-producing bacilli, but is in itself
poisonous. This happens in mushroom
poisoning and in poisoning by certain
kinds of fish, says Youths Companion.
Preserved foods-canned, cold-stor-
age, pickled-are those most common
ly responsible for poisoning, since the
bacteria which make the poison or in
duce ptomain formation have then a
longer time in which to develop. The
bacteria of putrefaction in spoiled
fresh meat are often of comparative
ly harmless kind, so far as their effect
upon the living organism is concerned,
and by their rapid growth they choke
the other and more noxious kinds, and
prevent their development.
When the food contains ready
formed poisons the symptoms come on
soon after eating, and usually disap-
pear rapidly if fatal ending is avert
ed; but when the food contains noxious
bacteria which are, as it were, dormant
and need the conditions found in the
living body in order to multiply, GER
tain period elapses, from several hours
to a day or more, before the danger
Gus symptoms declare themselves.
The symptoms of food-poisoning nat
urally vary in intensity according to
the nature of its amount, the suscep-
tibility of the individual, and so on
There maybe only an acute indigestion
marked by nausea, vomiting, and per.
haps diarrhea, or the poison may over
whelm the nervous system, causing
collapse, commissions, unconsciousness,
paralysis, and then death.
The first thing in the way of treat.
ment is to get rid of the offending ma
teriM> by emetics' and purgatives, al
though nature generally attends to
that with the fgst sign of poisoning
After that cleansing of the intestinal
tract from the dfseaNs germs may be
called for, and stfmH n for the flag
ging heart and the opp nervous
system.

To the American people the white
house represents the personality of
the president of the United States. To
the politician the magic words may
stand for the goal of an ambition too
often associated with the deepest and
most poignant Disappointment; while
to the historian the name may typi-
fly decisions that have marked epochs
in the affairs of nations. In the mind
of the people, however, the official
character of the building has. always
been subordinate to its domestic uses.
Popularity speaking, the white house
is the place not where the president
works, but where he entertains.-

tion of the White House," in Cen

Upon several occasions recently a
trolley. car has been noticed to arrive
at the Smith street crossing of the
Central railroad just as the gateman
is lowering his gates for an approach
ing train. Upon these occasions the
conductor has been seen to run ahead,
close the safety switch and the motor
man would speed his Car ahead, cross
ing the tracks at rapid rate, allow
ing the gateman to get his gates down
Just as the train arrives at the CROSS
ing.
Such practice is exceedingly dan
gerous and should be stopped. There
may be time enough for the car to
cross before the train reaches the
crossing, but in order to get across
the motorman runs his car so rapidly
that 1t is liable to jump the track as
it goes over the rails of the railroad.
II this should:ever happen there would
be nothing left of the car butt kind
