Tho Inevitable Fate That Awaits ire
Absnth TippIer,

What Is absinth? 1t is prepared by
pounding the leaves and Towering tops
of various species of NORWOOD, star
anise root sweetfiag root, leaves Of
dittany and other aromatic plants, and
sleeping them In alcohol. After eight
or ten days the mixture Is distilled,
and oil Of aniseed or some similar es-
sential oil is added. This is the method
of producing the genuine absinth, but
1t varies usually In the direction of
cheapening production and increasing
profits. Poisonous wood alcohol is
used for macerating the vegetable in
gredients, and inferior and often in
furious herbs are employed. These do
not always produce the much desired
greenish opalescence, and turmeric, in
digo, sniphate Of copper and other col
oring matters are employed. The con-
sequences of regularly drinking even
carefully prepared absinth are In the
end ruinous to mind and body. The
main difference between the various
qualities Of the liquor is the rapidity
with Which deleterious effects are pro-
duced. A man can go on drinking the
better qualities a little longer before
he becomes a mental and physical
wreck; that is all. And, whether one
drinks to excess or only takes a reg
ular daily dose, the end is the same.
The sequence Of events and their du-
ration only are different. In the first
case the large doses Of the liquor nee
essary to produce any effect speedily
render the victim unable to eat food.
He is tortured by an urquenchable
thirst. Hallucinations speedily follow,
and the grave or the madhouse is the
inevitable end. The absinth tippler
goes to ruin down an easier slope. His
earliest symptoms are loss Of weight
and strength. followed by the develop
ment Of muscular twitchings and a
tottering gait, somewhat similar to
that of locomotor ataxia. Then hallu-
cinatons set In, accompanied by grad
ually spreading paralysis, which ends
tn death. If person is regular daily
drinker Of absinth, whether he drinks
to excess or only tipples moderately,
ruin of the nervous system, followed
by madness or death, Is absolutely GER
tnin.-Exohange.

A RHETORICAL TRIUMPH.
Sheridan's Speech In Connection With
the Hastings Trial.

hfid fldohin9S fiidis
Answering a correspondent who ask
ed about the speech of Sheridan In con-
nection with the Warren Hastings
trial, the London News says:
THAT immense oratorical triumph
was certainly not reported In the notes
in question, for the Dude speech was
not delivered during the trial. Sheri-
dan pronounced 1t in the house of COM
mons in the year before the trial in
moving that the Dude charge should
be one Of the articles of the impeach-
ment
mo speech recorded In our history
ever had such a reception. The entire
house and all In the galleries violated
the traditions of parliament and set a
precedent that remains unfollowed by
clapping furiously and continuously.
Pitt, fully conscious Of the. extraor-
binary state Of excitement disclosed by
this breach of decorum, moved the adj
journment on the unparalleled ground
that the minds Of members were too
agitated to discuss the question with
GOODNESS and judicially.' Sheridan had
spoken for five hours and forty min
utes. No full report Of the speech
exists. The best appeared in the Lon
don Chronicle for Feb. 8, 1877.
1.-The fame of the speech was such
that when the trial came on ESQ was
gladly paid for a seat In the hall on
the day of Sheridan's speech as q
manager Of the impeachment. Macau-
lays account of that speech, which is
both misleading and inaccurate in sew
eral respects, at least permits us to
know the fact that the speaker was
publicly embraced by Burke on resum-
ing his seat. At later stage In the
trial-six years later, In fact-Sheridan
delivered another speech which was
described by one Of the auditors as an
extraordinary rhetorical triumph"

DOESN'T WANT HIS IDEAL.
Few Men Marry Women Whom They
Have In Minds Eye.

Does any man ever marry a woman
In the smallest way resembling what
he calls his ideal?
To begin with, he would be ashamed
to be seen out with her, because he
invariably has some absurd ideas
about dress, which may be very well
II carried out by the ideal woman, but
would never do at all IL they were
adopted in the ordinary way.
Then he would inevitably wish that
his paragon OF virtue, his Sweet
simplicity" his devoted slave, his
quickwitted, brilliant conversational
list, or his patient listener, as the case
might me, would sometimes have a
mind of her own" or give him a
chance OF exercising his temper.
The long and short Of It is that the
lteal woman, II she ever could exist,
would be a bore, a prig, hopeless
dowdy, and would undoubtedly be at
loggerheads with all her friends and
relatives.
Man likes to think he knows just
what a woman should be, but Il Is
quite certain he would not care to
find the creature he mentally fashions
At all events. he generally takes care
to select some one wholly at variance
with his ideal when IL comes to taking
wife ---rhicag go American.

RipGning fruit by electricity is one
VI the latest achievements of science.
The experiment was tried by an Eng.
lish electrical expert, who found that
he could produce the effect OF the
tropicaFs sun rays without the slight.
est difficulty. The ripenlng expert.
ments have been tried for the most
part with bananas.
When branches OF the green fruit
arrive in England they are put In an

inside this case isfdsubplied with a
number OF electlics Nights &ffich can
be turned en- and off in any number
at Will. 1t has been discovered that
the bananas ripen according to the
amount OF rays shed on them. The
expert has made tests so that now
he can ripen bananas at any time he
wants Just by regulating the lights.
This Is an immense advantage over
the ordinary method OF ripening.
Bananas are cut and shipped when
quite green but OF full size. Il il
enormously believed by those who
have never been In banana raising
lands that there the fruit Is allowed
TO ripen on the tree. That is not the
case. Bananas are picked green and
