Action of Absinthe.

At the temperance congress at Neu-
chatel in 1903 the French expert, DR..
Legrain, gave an interesting account
of the action of absinthe poison. Az
ter three years absinthe drinking a
man becomes weak minded and full
of ever increasing nervous anxiety.
He grows moody, taciturn, susp1-
cious, eccentric, untrustworthy and
apt to quarrel without cause. If he
continues to take the deadly liquor.
his body becomes mere automaton,
and he obeys without hesitation the
auto-suggestions Of his mind, often
killing, manning and destroying with
savage glee those nearest and dear
est to him.

FOR WOMEN: LOVE OR SCIENCE? ?
Intellectual Powers Could Not Com
pensate For Loss of Suitor.

1t was Byron, whose experience
was not slight, who said that love
was woman's whole existence. Ger
tainly an existence without relation
to love can never bring out what she
has of best. Consciously or uncon-
sciously, deliberately following a def
mite decision, or blindly falling in
with natures larger plan, the finest
women choose the path of sentiment,
and when intellectual life lies in an
other direction they pass it by.
The greatest woman scientist who
ever lived was Sophia Kovalevsky,
who received from the French Acad-
emy of Science the Prix Bordin, and
an additional prize "on account of
the extraordinary service rendered
to mathematical physics by this re-
markable work"
The award was made by the Acad-
emy in complete ignorance of the
fact that the winner was woman.
Naturally, Nine. Kovalevsky's tri-
umph was tremendous. She was"
says Mr.. R. c. Duncans account,
"feted, honored and everywhere
greeted with ovations. Her lover
witnessed all this from the edge of
the crowd, and, unable to accept his
subordinate position, retired from his
suit. The affair literally killed her,
for she never recovered from the
blow, and died, broken creature,
two years later"
We don't think much of the hover,
but the story shows one reason why
women have not done much in sci
ence, and why their work has often
been so mixed with that of some
male as to make it impossible to
say which was whose. Perhaps Caro-
line Herscnel did discover five new
comets; but would she have been a
great astronomer if her brother had
Mt been a greater one, and she his
secretary? How much of Fanny
Nendelssohn' work ought to be cred
tied to he" more famous brother
Felix?
The discovery Of radium was the
joint work of Nine. Curie and her
husband; now that he is dead and
she has his professorship, the world
may learn how much she is capable
of without the assistance and iEspir-
alton of a man. Couldn't I do
Euclid if you were to teach me in
stead of Tom?" exclaimed Maggie
Tulliver to her brother Toms tutor
And the indignant Tom broke in:
NO, you couldn't. Girls can't do
Euclid, can they, SIR" The tutor
solemnly affirmed that they could
not. If they can't it is because they
arc engaged in a work even more
important to living gbeings than squar-
ing the hypothenuse or crossing the
Asses Bridge-Collier Weekly.

First DAYS License.

It is not surprising piece of news
from the daily papers published
about Wadesboro that several young
men were staggering drunk on the
streets of that town as the first days
result of granting license to seven
persons to retail liquor there. That
they were sons of men who voted for
barrooms gives no comfort to any
good man. The awful thing about it
is that somebody has made it easier
instead of harder for these young
men to set their feet upon their
mothers hearts and lay fast hold
upon the ways Of ruin. - Gastonia

The Imperfections of the church.

Every religious worker meets Witn
objections to the church on account
of it's imperfections. Such arguments
are in nearly every case made by men
or women who have no religious de-
sires or feelings, and who are merely
casting about for some excuse with
which to put aside the invitation to
be a Christian. These objectors bring
forward a long array of faults which
they see in the church. They do not
like it's government, or its creed. me
preaching does not suit them, or the
services are not to their taste. the
members of the church are not at all
as good as they should be, some even
being hypocrites. There Is In the
church some one they do not like.
Thus through a long list of such
criticisms runs the story of objection
OF course, it is quite waste OF time
for the Christian worker to try TO re-
fute them. They are seldom made IN
candor, and their makers would not
admit refutation If it were accom-
plished AS to their criticisms, many
of them are mere matters OF opinion,
while others are we'll taken IN poltk
Of fact. Yet when all this has bee.,
granted, it does not justify any per
son in refusing Gods merciful onefS
of forgiveness and opportunity OF
discipleship. - Pittsburg Chrlstlan

Standard Set By Women.

Judge Willard M. McEwen recent
ly delivered an address to the Chi
cago Woman's Club, in which he
urged that women set a higher stand

him. Woven are too ready to re-

Tact in Soul.WinninQ.

Says M. H. Lyon:-It is irterestinaE
to note how the Lord uses all instru-
ments and means to accomplish His
purposes. In one city there was in
the high school very bright young
lady, good student and recognized
leader among her associates. But
she came from a home without relig-
ious influence, and she openly avowed
herself an unbeliever and cast her
influence against Christ. She would
not consent to come to any Of the
meetings and ridiculed others for go
ing.
She lived next door to the home
where I was entertained. My hostess
had told me about her, but I mo-
ticed that she had made herself scarce
around that neighbor's while ! had
been there But one morning came
in upon her talking with my hostess
on her way to school. She had an
armful of books. OF course I said
nothing to her at first about religion,
but engaged her in conversations
about her studies. .- r.
I found Latin was her favorite.
Fortunately I had in my hand a Latin
Testament I had been reading, and I
saw there was, an opportunity. SO
I said to her, Here is something that
beats Cicero and Virgil" And hand
ed it to her to read, having first Sc.
lected the chapter I wanted her to,
see. Before she left she had trans.
lated both the third and the fifteenth
chapters of Johns Gospel. .".
The ice was now broken. She came
In every day and / would give her 9TH
er selected passages. Soon she asked
if she could not take that book home
with her, and she told me afterWard
that she had read it that night until
almost 6aybreak. Naturally, then, she
began coming to the services, and
very soon came out earnestly for
Christ. During the remainder of that
series we had no more earnest worker
than she was, and when / left tnat
city l presented her with the Latin
Testament, inscribed with Second
Timothy, two-fifteen.-Ram's Horn. "

In a recent article in German

the spontaneous ignition of zinc dust
is out of the question when the ma

occur. in the presence of air. The
matter is of some Importance, mas
