The "Greeh Fairy" in Switzerland.

In Switzerland May day was historic at

Some time since thu Cantonal lagislatur,
passed an act with the popular approval
for prohibiting the retail sale of alb sintke
and with the eXpry Of April 30 it came
into effect. But the retailers-that is, tn,
cafe and restaurant keepers-yi.ld only 4
half loyalty to the new law. Many of them
were giving the drink gratis to customers,
Just to clear off stock and il was OBJ
served that many men drank aSslnthe
for the occasion who had never been seen
to touch it before. AS closing time ap-
preached the green fairy" was buriad'
with much hilarious mock funeral cere-
mony.
Evasion is already at work. AS tie act
only prohibits sale. number of vic;ualers
are proposing to pres NJ known Gus .omers
with a drink of absnthe a day gratis. Just
to keep old customers "in the house" But
1t is more than doubtful whether such a
procedure would not be regarded as Illegal.

Liaht and the Blood.

DR.. Oerum of the Finsen institute at
Copenhagen has carried out a number
Of experiments on the effect of light on
the blood. He has found that darkness
reduces the total amount of blood by
8 to 3.3 per cent, while decreasing at
the same time the amount of blood con-
tanned in the heart. Red light has an
effect like that of darkness, while blue
light is likely to result in an excess of
blood and an increase in the amount
contained in the heart. Light baths are
likely to increase the amount of blood
in the course of a few hours. Darkness
will increase and intensive light will
reduce TIE blood pressure. Animals
born in the dark or in red light have
a greater weight, but only half the
amount of blood of those born under
normal conditions.

indians cIina TO Tribal Lanovac,

Indians Cling to Tribal Language.
The Euche Indians, 500 IN number.
who live in a remote part of the Creek
Nation, cling to their own language and
merry principally among their own
tribe after being conquered and alb
sorbed by the Greek Indians more than
200 years ago. In some cases an Euche
may marry a Creek, and the children
will speak to the father in the Euche
language and to the mother in Creek.
Noah Gregory, a well known Euche
Indian, in recalling some of these cir
cumstances, says he can remember
when his father used to punish him
for talking Greek at home. The Creeks
conquered the Euches in Alabama so
many years ago that the story is only
tradition, the latter being given the
full rights and privileges of the Creek
citizens. Most of the tribe are full
bloods, owing to the fact that they
marry principally among themselves.
The district in which they live is in
the mountainous region Of the Greek
Nation, which lies between Weelocha
and a point southwest of Bristow.-
