AbsInthe.

To Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 I find in your issue of this morn ing an article under the caption "Ab- sinthe in France" an article relative to the liquor commonly called "ap- slnthe." There is an old adage that if you give a dog a bad name it will al- ways stick to him. Absnthe eXhllar- ates very quickly, and because it does act quickly they like it, and because they take too much of it, it makes them sick. Now it was the excessive quantity, not the poor quality of the article, that made them sick Of course it is very convenient to lay all blame for disagreeable effects resulting from absinthe drinking, at the door of kind, or bad quality instead of where 1t really belongs, which is over-indul- gence in excessive quantities.
 In the first place absinthe Is primari- ly and essentially a medicine, In the second place there is not one drop of alcohol in all the absinthe In the world. The liquor known as absinthe is French brandy favored with es- sence of the following plants; Absinthe, melissa (balm minD fennel, anise, hys- sop. None of these plants contain su- gar. There is nothing known to sci- ence than can produce alcohol except sugar Even wood alcohol Is the prod- uct of low grade sugar in the wood. It will be readily seen that there Is no such thing in existence as absinthe alcohol. French brandy in ordinary use is usually about 90 per cent. proof, which means 45 per cent. water and 45 per cent absolute alcohol Alcohol Is the technical term for all fermented spirits. Brandy used In the prepara- ton, or liquor, known as absinthe is usually 143 per cent. proof spirit, The French brandy used in the manufac- ture of absinthe, besides being very strong, is always very young. and therefore poisonous from natural caus- es, as all young liquors are. As mat ter of fact, absinthe tends to modify the deleterious character of the young brandy, instead of adding to its pois- onous nature.
 The absinthe plant is stimulating tonic, possessed of vermifuge and di- uretic virtues, which are well known to the medical profession. The fact that absinthe is vermifuge explains why 1t is sometimes called wormwood me- lissa (balm mint). This plant is re- markable for the quieting effect which it produces on the nervous system. F'ennel. l presume this plant can be found growing in gardens in New Ha- ven The properties in fennel success fully combat putrid fevers. It fortifies the stomach. and is a great aid to di- gestion. Anise is mainly used for It's agreeable flavor The hyssop plant is considerably used in the treatment of pulmonary complaints,
 Absinthe made of old brandy and the plants described here is an excellent medicine, but even good medicine can not be used to excess without produc. ing bad results, Persons in France who drink connections made of cheap diluted spirits and essences, colored and dubbed absinthe, are in the same category with the people of this coun- try who drink so-oalled wines and H. quors that are hardly fit to use for flushing sewers.

rOBACCo IN rRE1ANn.

It is being discovered that potatoes are not the only things that will grow in Ireland. The experiments in tobac- co growing in Ireland, which have now been carried on for several years by Colonel Nugent T, Everard of Navan, Randletown, County Meath, appear to have been brought to a successful termination and to have emerged from the experimental stage into an actual industry. Tn 1904 Colonel Everard grew twenty acres of tobacco, which yielded 5000 pounds of cured leaf. It was fav- orably reported upon by experts, and sold freely at 1-2d per pound above the same grade of American tobacco In 1905 13 1-2 acres were grown by Colonel Everard, which yielded 15,5OO pounds. During the same year nine acres grown in County wexford yielded 5000 pounds, and two and a half acres in County Louth yielded $500 pounds. Almost all the produce grown by Colonel Everard and in County Louth was sold at Id. per pound above the price of the pre- vious years crop and has been pro- nounced by experts as showing a con siderable advance in quality. In 1904 and 1905 only the cheaper varieties, for the manufacture of plug tobacco, were grown.
 This year Colonel Everard is experi- mGnting upon twenty-five varieties, in- cluding high class cigar wrappers, and it is said that the experiment is likely to prove a success, Although many ap- plications have been received from will ing growers, the British Treasury, through the Irish Department of Agri- culture, has only allowed tobacco to be grown this year as follows: Colonel Everard, 20 acres; other cultivators in County Meath, 10 acres; in County Wexford, 12 acres; in County Kilkenny, 8 acres; in County Louth, 15 acres, and in Kings County, 14 acres. The total number of acres is seventy-nine. The Department of Agriculture has employ ed an American expert, who is giving the benefit of his advice and assistance to the cultivators.

carrying in his mouth deer. which he places at the widows door, after hav- ing scatched it with his paw to give in- formation of his arrival. The widow at once came out to see who was there, and beholding the deer realized that it had been brought for her by the tiger. She sold the deer. and from the pro- ceeds of it's sale she was able to live comfortably for sometime.
 These attentions on the part of the tiger became quite regular and were faithfully carried on without interrup- tion for more than ten years. Then the widow died, much to the grief of her officially appointed son, the tiger, who had found great pleasure in mak- ing the old age of the widow much nor comfortable than it would have been had her own son been alive.-East of Asia Magazine.

arrest the tiger which had been guilty of the enormity of eating the widows son. The police naturally did not feel much pleased at undertaking such a dangerous arrest, which would probably re suit in their being eaten Ike the windows son. But their chief was not and officer to be trifled with and they did not dare to disobey his order. They Immediately proceeded to the noun tains, and when they reached there they at once made copy of the Magis trate's warrant, which they burned as sacrifice, praying at the same time 10 the spirit of the mountains.
 They had scarcely finished their of- fering and prayers when suddenly the roar of a tiger, waited on the breeze, reached their ears. The roar almost frightened them out of their wits, and When the tiger itsself suddenly ap- peared on the scene they felt sure their last moments were nigh. But they hurriedly produced the Magistrates s warrant, behind which they carefully screened themselves.
 The tiger up to that time had form the most ferocious appearance, but no sooner did his flashing eyes behold the warrant than down went his ears and tail, and his whole demeanor changed from wild ferocity to tame submission He seemed to realize at once that the majesty even of a tiger must yield to the majesty of the law, and he quietly followed the police without making any show of resistance. Arrived at the Mag lstrate, who commanded to hear the case, while the widow wept and abused the cause of her sons death. Looking sternly at the tiger and ponting to the old widow, the Magistrate thus ad- dressed the former:
 This poor old widow depended for support on her son. He has been de- voured by you. You beast of i'll omen! On whom can she now rely for a live lihood? Even if you are condemned and put to death how can that compensate the widow for her loss?"
 Hearing this, the tiger dropped his head and seemed to be thoroughly re- pentant The Magistrate, observing the change in the tigers demanor, continu- ed;
 As l now see you fully realize the enormity of your crime and are sim cerely sorry for what you have done. l grant you pardon and decide that you shall henceforward act as the son of the old widow, whose wants, both as regards foods and clothes, 1t will be your duty to supply"
 The tiger looked much delieved and at once nodded a ready assent. He was then released and scampered off to the hills. The same evening he returned

THE REMoRsEFUL TIGER.
A Chinese Story of Feline wrongdoing
 and Reparation.

A Chinese Story of Feline Wrongdoing
 and Preparation.
 Yuan Ting was appointed Magistrate Of district far removed from his na- tive home. This district had earned an unevenable notoriety for being in- tested with ferocious tigers. Before Yuan had been in office three months the inhabitants applied to their official parent to devise some means of rellev- ing them from their trouble. The Magis trate, who was a kind hearted man and anxious for the welfare of his fock, at once brought the matter be- fore the spirit whose special province it was to watch over the interests of the district and to keep it's people from harm, by addressing to it the following appeal
 The Magistrate Ting has been in of- flee in this district for almost three months, but owing to his want of abil- ity he has been unable to advance the welfare of the people and to secure to them the blessings of peace and con- tentment, For tigers have been creat- ing trouble within it's boundaries. which is without doubt due to want of virtue on the part of the Magistrate and cannot be regarded as in any way the fault of the9guardian spirit. The Magistrate has endeavored to find out in what respect he has failed in his duty, but though he has searched his rf fn f1 SEo has not been able to find that he has in any way neglected his duty. He has administered justice with an even hand, and ahs done all in his power to relieve the sufferngs of his people. But if he has violated his duty, if he has not been guilty of oppression and ex- tortion, how can the frequent raids of tigers be explained? Must the tiger hunters he tried for having been remiss in their exertions to extrpate the pest, or will the guardian spirit, prompted by pity for the sufferings of the peo- pie, be pleased to drive away the tigers to their lairs in the mountains, thus preventing them from inflicting endless sorrow on the people2 Such an act of beneficence will earn the undying grati- tude of the Magistrate. But if the pres- ence of tigers in the district is really due to the incompetence of the Magis- trate and to his oppressive adminlstra- tion, then let him be tried by the laws of the empire and punished by the gods, without fear or favor"
 The earnestness of this special mov- ed the guardian spirit, for few days after 1t had been issued many tigers were captured every one declaring this satisfactory result to be due to the beneficent action of the spirit. About this time there was an old widow, more than SO years of age, who had an only son and who depended on his wood cutting for her living, One day her son, who had as usual gone into the hills to cut wood, was seized by a tiger and devoured. His old mother, on hearing of the sad occurance, was overwhelmed with grief, Having. however, heard how kind and good the Magistrate was, she repaired to his presence, loudly weeping. The Magistrate, who was much affected and felt deep sorrow for the poor old widow, at once issued 8 warrant and ordered his police to

4 GOOD ExAMP1E IN cH1oAG

 Chicago isn't going to be content with offering people outside of her linn its clean and good things to eat. She is going to greater lengths in the official inspection of food served to the public in restaurants than has heen attempt ed by any other American city. Under an ordinance recently passed the six thousand restaurants of Chicago are required to take out licenses which are revocable for cause shown. The in- spection authorized covers the quality of the food furnished, the manner of its preservation, the attire and habits of employees, the ventilation of kitchens and such other details of management as it may be necessary to investigate to secure the proper sanitary condi- tions. The inspection is to be search ing, and the revocation of licenses, it is believed will be sufficient penalty for the violation of the regulations. The cost of the inspection will be met by the restaurant license fees, which will yield $9OOOO to the city.
 Good work, and needed work. Needed in any city, except perhaps in New Haven, and there have been times when it was needed here, Chicago has set a good example to other cities,

Russell snge No Humbug.

To Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 We have seen the professorial ele" ment whack Shakespeare, that graven image of literature, until he looks like Slocum life-preserver We have stood aghast at the attempt to turn Washington's picture to the wall be- cause his education was "meagre and incomplete" rather ride to hounds than go to church, and was not re- former, any one of which defects is enough to cut his picture from the frame and have his Farewell Address, burned. And now we read that there Is nothing in the life of Russell Sage to admire. Perhaps not, to the little minded, But there are some unreform- ed people who have more than g. dilet- tantish knowledge of art, music and It. erature "after graduation from the ad vanced schools and colleges" who will see something cumulative in a boy who started life on a farm and, after a lit tie schooling in a country school, start ed out in life for himself at fourteen years of age, and without any help not only became a very wealthy man, but through his various stages of progress did much to develop some of the great est industries of the country. Seeing that MT. Sage was not an after-dinner speaker, probably few know that to more than one boy his voice has been full of music as he gave encouragement and not infrequently helped, by his in- fluence, to important positions.
 The one characteristic of MT. Sage to be admired above all others Is that he was no humbug.

We are so rapidly and thoroughly finding out what Woman can do that soon the only question will be, What can't she do? We read that in the town of Dessau, in Germany, school for the purpose of training girls in chemistry connected with the sugar. refining industry was opened some time ago, and has answered so well that similar training schools connected with soap factories, paper-works and other industries requiring thorough la boratory training are now being or ganized. The young women are all girls of the better stations in life, and all who entered as original pupils of the first school have passed their re- cent examinations so satisfactorily as to have found posts at once.
 Of course, and the demand will ex- ceed the supply. Women are natural chemists, just as they are natural ev- erything that is anything.

The boots are worse still. He doesn't know how they can be worn, they are so stiff and straight and hard. His majesty wears the soft Chinese boot composed entirely of felt. He thinks the people of Paris are overdressed, and that the working classes must spend unnecessa- rily large sums of money on wearing apparel.

Alfred East A. R. tA., who succeeds the late Sir Wyke Bayliss as president of the Royal Society of British Artists, was born at Kettering, where he earn ed his first five shillings at the age of seven by drawing a mammoth for an itinerant lecturer. He learned the ru- ailments of art while earning his living in a Glasgow counting house, but did not find himself free to follow his bent until he was twenty-five. He then went to Paris and entered the studio of Bou- guereau. He studied landscape at Bar bizon, and in 1883 he exhibited his first Academy picture, "A Dewy Morning." It found no purchaser and was treasur- ed for years in his studio at Belsize Park.
