Much is written concerning the
trials of teaching. Here is an In

An Italian boy in one of the New

progress with his studies In general,
and his mastery Of English, in par.
%ticular, that his grateful father felt
Il incumbent upon him to call at the
building and personally express his
satisfaction. This he did in sentences
whose construction was so unique as
u defy analysis, concluding his har-
angue with this liberal offer:

The greatest curse Frunce has ever

mining the constitutions of a great
majority Of the citizens of the repub-
lie. Statistics show that alcoholism
Is rapidly increasing and the effect of
liquors, especially a~bsinthe, is one of
the main factors In the decrease of
the French population. Absinthe was
never more generally used. Its eff
fects are demoralizing and govern

Absinthe is prepared by pounding
the leaves and flowers of various
kinds of wormwood, the root of an
gelica, sweet fiagroot, Cretan dlttany,

and macerating them in alcohol. The
compound soaks for eight days, and is
then distilled, yielding an emerald.
colored liquid, to which a proportion
Of an essential oil-oil of anise usual
ly-is added.
This is the pure absinthe; but very
little of 1t is now sold in France, for
the authorizations which can be, and
are, practiced in its manufacture are
innumerable. In the adulterated
drink the green color is produced by
turmeric and indigo; but blue vitriol
is often used as a coloring ingredient.
1t Is impossible to estimate the
amount Of absinthe distilled every
year In France for home consumption;
but the amount imported from Swift.

1t Is the effect rather than the
taste Of absinthe which is responsible
for its high favor with the French. Its
taste is not nice. In the accustomed
drinker absinthe produces a feeling Of
strange exaltation. 1t is not the ex.
altation Of drunkenness from wine,
