MADNESS OR DEATH.
The Inevitable Fate That Awaits the
Absinth TippIsr.

What is absiotb? II n prepared by
pounding the leaves and Towering tops

sniSc root, sweetfiag root, leaves of
tiffany aud other aromatic plants, aud
stepping them In alcohol. After eight
or ucD days the mixture Is distilled,
and oil Of aniseed or some similaA es.
sential oil Is added. This Is the method
OF producing the genuine absinth, but
IL varies usually In the direction Of
rhcapening production and increasing
prolit' 4 lsonous wood alcohol Is
used for macersting the vegetable In.
gradients. aud inferior and often in.
furious herbs are employed. These do
not always produce the much desired
erccDish opalcscence. and turmeric, in
digo. sulphatc 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. 4 man can go on drinking the
better qualities a little longer before
he becomes mental and physical
wreck; that Is all. And, whether one
drinks to excess or only takes 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

render the victim unable 10 eat food.
He is tortured by an unquenchabe
thirst Hallucinations speedily follow,
and the grave or the madbouse IL 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 twitchinEs and n
tottcrng gait. somewhat similar TO
that Of locomotor atsXia. Then hallu
cinationS set in. accompanied by grad
ually spreading paralysis, which ends
In death. If II person La regular daily

Fifty years ago tigers were very com
mon even In the high hills Of western
Tibet, writes G. A. Sherring IN his ac-
count OF taat country. AT the present
tine, however. owing To the increase
Of DOpuia ton and the general spread Of
cultivation, they have become rare,
and the appearance OF a man eater
who carried or q poor old woman on
the slops Of Chipla created consterna-
ton -
On the following day there were
gathered together hundred grim men,
armed only with axes and stones. for
they had not gun among them.
Fortune favored the brave. for the
tiger was found asleep under a rock
At once each man dropped silently into
the cover OF the brushwood and piled
q heap Of stones near TO his hand
while one Of the most trusted Of the
party was commissioned to stalk TO
the top of the rock and drop n huge
stone on the sleeping brute.
So we'll was the work done that the
stone fell true On the tigers back, and
Immediately, with a roar, the wounded
beast sprang up and, seeing his enc
mics. who leaped from their cover.
charged the line.
But hundred men, desperate as TO
consequences, throwing stones with
might and main, are not TO be awed or
turned from their purpose lightly. The
stones broke the tigers teeth and went
into his mouth, and his body soon be-
came mass OF wounds.
Turning he tried to escape and took
his pursucrs up hill for mile, but
wherever he paused and whatever he
did he could not escape the pitiless
rain % missiles. The blow on his back,
first given. effectively checked his
speed, and finally, worn out. he came
to bay under a great cliff.
The rest WAS easy. Hs was immedi-
ately heIomed in, and the stones were
sbOwercd on him thicker than ever and
hurled with redoubled energy. As he
sank down the villagers rushed In and
dispatched him with their axes.

A RHETORICAL TRIUMPH.
Sheridan's Speech In Connection With
tho hastings Trial.

tho Nastin9s iriai.
Answering n correspondent who ask
ed about the speech Of Sheridan In con-
ncctiou 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 It 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
NO speech recorded In our history
ever had such n reception. The entire
house and nll In the galleries violated
the traditions OF parliament and set q
precedent that remains unfollowed by
clopping furiously and continuously.
Pitt, fully conscious OF the extraoc-
dinary state Of excitement disclosed by
this breach OF decorum. moved the ad-
journmept on the unparalleled ground
that the minds OF members were too
agitatad 70 discuss the question with
coolness 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, 1887.
The fame of the speech was such
that when the trial came on $50 was
gladly paid for n seat in the hall on
the day of Shcridan's speech az q
MANAGER Of the inpeachment 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 a later stage In the
trial-sN years later, In fact-Sheridan
delivered another speech which was
described by one OF the auditors as an
extraordinary rhetorical triumph"

George II. Anthony died very sudden
" at his home on Sunday morning,
aged fifty years. His death came AZ
a sudden shock to all the commun-
ity where he had lived for twenty
years and was well beloved and re-
spected. Square and upright in all
his dealings, one remarked who
had known him all his life. He was
always kind and obliging and TO be
trusted like no other. Your CORE
spondent is reminded of the same
lines as on Dec IS. 1888, when a
friend was killed by blow from the
limb Of a tree. .~
He Is gone from the earth our broth
or beloved,
And gazing through thcars we follow
his flight;
As upward and upward in gladness
and glory,
Like star in the morning, We lose
him in light.
He Is gone from the earth, He is
done with it's sorroWs.
In the glorified city he dwclls with

And following stcAdfast in every

Through the grace OF our Lord, we

time given to the, Good OF the Or
der" the following lines we're read,
composed on the visit Of Covenant
Lodge TO Protection Lodge OF ODD
Fellows at Central Village. Conn, on
Saturday night. February 23rd. 1907.
The cake presented TO Noble Grand
Ford Of Covenant Lodge. at the time
OF tho visit, and which had been on
exhibition at the Scituate Public Mar
ket during the week, was cut and
passed around 70 all the members.
On the 23rd OF February,
A cold and wintry eve.
A crowd OF gay young fellows
Boarded the car and took their leave.
believe TO Central Village
Was the place they started FOR,
And a finer looking lot OF men
I am sure no one ever saw.
Some were men Of light complexion
Some with eyes and hair or brown,
Some with cheeks as red as roses,
but all came from the same Old town.
One Of the party, whose name was
Fords.
He was the most prominent man,
OF course he was the teacher,
For he was Noble Grand.
But they were all jolly fellows.
Bent on having good time;
And none were disappointed IN the
Crowd on that one line.
Then the ride on the electrlcs
Was delightful and slick,
Although the fellows that smoked
Made the others feel SICK
When at last the party landed,
All were welcomed with good cheer;
And soon all were made to feel at
home.
In this brotherly lodge, so dear.
There was speaking and singing
And some poetry too.
Then followed all this
A hot oyster stew.
With doughnuts, cheese and coffee.
Cake OF different kinds.
Ytuit and cigars In plenty
Every thing TO please the mind.
With four lovely damsels,
In black gowns and white caps,
Who served this fine supper
Which pleased the Ashland chaps.
There was one gentle lady,
I think her name was Wood,
For years had been an invalid.
Wished TO do all she could
To give Rhode Island boys
A welcome and a good time for them
TO make,
But all that she could think of
Was TO bake loaf OF cake.
So she made big fruit cake.
And made II all by hand,
Then had the Right supporter
Present II to the Noble Grand.
Then the Right Supporter Of Pro
tection Lodge
Stepped up TO the Covenant Noble
Grand,
And with a smiling face,
Held the big cake In his hand
He made a few remarks,
Which took Ford unawares.
And presented him tho lovely cake
From this lady who all wished was
there.
Then the Noble Grand responded
In words as gentle as dove,
And sent vote OF thanks TO Mrs.
Wood
For her noble gift OF love.
SO TO night they are going TO cut IT,,
And pass IL all around.
And I know old Ashland Hall,
With her praises will resound.
And think that Covenant Lodge
