AMERICAN ABSINTHE.
"The Green Terror of France" Pro-
duced In COnsidr GUAM
titles In " isconsln.

"Absinthe, the green terror Of
France" said "A 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 NORWOOD 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.
"Thc Wisconsin growers Of worm
wood and distillers of the oil at first
shipped nearly all their output to
Europe, but now they find u 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 it's chief
uses are in the making of absinthe
and liniments."

Pleasant to the Taste

One of the most important require
ments in a medicine to be given to
small children should be that it is
pleasant to take. Bad tasting medicines
disturbs the stomach, destroys the
appetite and it is extremely difficult to
get children to take them. The
pleasant flavor of Re Go Tonic Laxative

most sensitive persons and is the ideal
laxative for young children. Sold by

A PLUNGE IN ICY WATER.
One who Has Had the Experience
Says 1t Is Not as Unpleasant
az Many suppose.

1t is the common impression that
one suffers keenly from cold If sud
denly immersed in lake or stream
covered with thin ice. ST. III, says u
Philadelphia exchange, does not APP

of Philadelphian who got such wet
ting the other day when skating. He
said: 81 was skating on ice that kept
cracking, and then-smash shall of a

GREAT MANS TEN NOSES.
Were Made Of Silver to Supply the
Place Of the Natural Organ
Lost in u Duel

In his lecture before the last
meeting of the Chemical Society of
Washington upon the Old Chemical
Society Of Prague, Bohemia, organ
lied during the middle ages, under
the reign of Rudolph H., DR.. II. Car
rington Bolton had occasion to call
attention to the somewhat we'll
known fact that Tycho Brahe, who,
by the way, was member of this,
the earliest chemical society of Eu-
rope, wore a silver nose. 1t appears
that when a young man the great
astronomer fought a duel in which
he had the misfortune to lose that
important member and was obliged
to wear silver one instead, says the
Washington Post.
"This," DR.. Bolton stated, "he was
in the habit of removing at night
when he slept, and one night his
favorite dog managed to gain pos
session Of his masters silver nose,
which, after he had played with it all
night long, was of very little service
the day following. Tycho was in
great distress the next morning
when, after an hour search, he
found his precious nose battered and
chewed out of all shape and service,
In order, therefore, to avoid future
accidents Tycho HE'D him to the sill
versmiths and had ten silver noses
made in Mace Of the one One OF
these" said DR.. Bolton, twas pre-
served in one of the museums of Ger
many until the beginning of the
nineteenth century when, by some
mishap, it disappeared and thus far
has not been recovered"

AMAZING STATISTICS.
The Tremendous Monetary Force
Welded by United States In
surance Companies.

Probably very few people who live
and work outside the money markets
have ever paused to consider the ire
mendous monetary force welded by
the insurance companies of the United
States. The amount of money that
these concerns handle is enormous,
says Success. One may read that at
present the 81 leading life insurance
companies of the United States hold Sc
curities of all kinds that aggregate
more than 81, 100000. Imagination
fails to grasp such figures. It's equiva-
lent to saying that there are 1900
banks in the country, each of which
has 100000 which it must keep in
vested.
Striking as these figures are, they do
not include the holdings of the lesser
insurance companies, and they pay
NO heed to the money controlled by the
little multitude of large and small fire
insurance companies.
OF course, the bulk of the money held
by an insurance company has TO be in
vested; that is to say, every dollar not
needed for running expenses and for
the prompt payment of claims. 1t is
like a fairy tale of finance when one
reads what use is made of the millions
on millions paid to insurance compan-
les.
During the year 1901, for example,
the total of the incomes of the 67 lead
ing life insurance companies was some
thing like $376,OO0,OOO OF this money
about $175,OoO,OOO was paid to policy
holders or to their heirs. More than
$77,O00,OOO was disbursed for operating
expenses. Still, more than $12O,000,oo
was left.

WOMEN OF NEW HAMPSHIRE.
Nowhere Are the Conditions of the
Sex So Barbaric rs I'm That
Stnid Old State.

According to Mrs. Stanton Blotch,
president of the Eql Suffrage
League of New York, the lac cam
paign for political rights for women
in New Hampshire revealed ain ost
barbaric conditions surrour ding the
women of that region, says New
York exchange.
Nowhere are the conditi Of
women so barbaric as in this staid
old New England state" she said.
This is due to the introduction Of
the factory system. The New Hamp-
shire woman has no more incentive
to individual development than the
women of barbarous tribes, whose in
terests never go beyond the cooking
of food and tilling of the soil.
Farm work is largely in the hands
of the women of this state. Although
they are physically weak as a rule,
statistics of our recent war showed
that our largest soldiers came from
New Hampshire, but the native wom-
en- are abnormally small as result
of their hard lives.
The New Hampshire woman lives,
in most cases, on a rocky, unproduc-
tive farm and her employments in
her primitive home are as ephemeral
as those of any savage. She bal<es
pies and doughnuts, washes her
clothes and cleans house. The old in
dustries of spinning and weaving and
preserving and soapmaking have
passed out of her hands. So long as
she had these things to do she had
an outlet for her energies. She had
an incentive to organize and systema-
tie her household work."

LACK OF FOREIGN TONGUES.
Acquire a knowledge Of
Other Langua ges.

A serious defect to the education
of most American women is their
failure to acquire in their youth con-
versational facility in other Ian
guages than their own. Many girls
include a foreign tongue or two in
the list of their studies. but it is
simply eye skill that they secure,
ability to read and write the Ian
guage with varying degrees Of excel
lence. When the ear test comes 1t
Is the exception when they are not
almost helpless, says Harper's Bazaar.
An English girl is not considered ed
ucated until she is fluent In at least
one other than her native language,
and she often speaks two or three
easily. A trip abroad illustrates and
emphasizes the fact that Americans
are very provincial in the matter Of
languages. In a group of foreigners
taken at random, German, French
and Italian, together with English,
one Of the hardest tongues to learn,
will be heard interchangeable among
its members; it Is not until an Amer
lean joins the group that the talk
through courtesy to his or her linn
itations, becomes restricted to En-
glish. In Sweden, French, German
and English are obligatory studies In
the curricula The kindergarten
children are taught the language in
delightful fashions, the girls with
their dolls and kitchen-garden
classes, the boys with games and
sports and the like.

ELECTRIC ANESTHESIA.
Temporary Loss OF the Motor Senses
Through the Application OF
the Current.

A French investigator has been ex-
perimenting with the electric current
to produce anesthesia. After duly
terrifying himself with number Of
experiments upon animals he extend
ed his researches to the human body,
experimenting at first upon himself.
He finds by applying a current, the
exact character Of which is not stated,
to the body through moistened cleo
trodes, placed one on the forehead
and the other over the small of the
back, that with a voltage of 50
complete inhibition takes place. The
faculty Of speech is first lost, followed
finally by the inhibition Of the func-
tions OF the other motor senses. 1t
is asserted that its only disagreeable
feature is that which accompanies the
gradual loss of the faculties, resulting
in sensation Of nightmare. The
heart is said TO be unaffected, but the
breathing is somewhat INSTRUCTED. The
current strength is gradually applied,
about five minutes being occupied in
reaching the maximum. When the
current is switched off the subject
awakens at once and with a feeling
of invigoration."
