but the Frenchman in general absolutely
demands his absinthe. This is a daily
routine that is followed out almost with
out break, and the custom is no re-
specter of classes. There is simply a die-
ference in price. quality and place Of
taking it. The cafes at this hour present
a scene of great activity. Cafe life in
Paris is outdoor life, and the chill OF
winter is no barrier in this outdoor drink
ing. An awning protects the patron from
the elements, while a huge cylinder stove
is supposed to give the necessary warmth
On the boulevards are cafes where The
bourgeoisie and the men of Independent
means congregate at the hour when they
take their aperitf. The price of abSinthe
here Is 10 or l. cents a glass, and if
there is virtue in absinthe it exists in
the fact that at these better cafes the
drink is at least unadulterated.
An exact imitation of this daily scene
occurs in the poorer quarters. Instead Of

cred with the CRIME and dirt Of the days
labor. All have stopped work for an hour
or half an hour. the case may he, and
they. 100, are talking. gesticulating and
arguing over their glass Of absinthe.
Their absinthe is only three or four
cents a glass. and it is drink that con-
tans the most nauseous ingredients, a
mixture that first excites the brain and
ends by turning men into worse than
beasts.
The alcoholic habit is a constant drain
on the slender purse OF the meagerly paid
workman and the dire results are far
reaching. The wife becomes a martyr 10
the husbands habits, and the children de-
generate. They are born with a tendency
to disease thereby filling the whole coun-
try with undesirable citizens. The papers
are constantly filed with the cold blooded
crimes that are nightly taking place in
Paris alone. These degenerate offspring
of the imbiberS of absinthe are called
''apaches." Usually they young fell

THE VILE LIBRARY.
Gift Formally Presented to Danbury
Hospital-NearIy 1000 Volumes.


valuable medical library of nearly
one thousand volumes was formally
presented to the Danbury hospital or
Saturday by DR.. w. C. Vile of this
city. The exercises attending the pre-
Sentation took place in the library, the
first room in the new hospital building
to be finished and furnished, and
which. in honor of the donor of the
rich collection of books first to be plac-
ed upon it's shelves, has been named
the Vile library, and so designated by
the name in handsome bronze letters
upon the entrance door,.
This room is TO be the physicians
consulting and reference room, and
the library is intended and designed by
the giver for their benefit and aid in
prosecuting their work in the hospital.
To that end it has been handsomely
and luxuriously furnished by DR.. VILE,
and the physicians who have occasion
to use it Will find it not only convent
ent and well supplied with medical
authority but delightful place of RESI-.
The room is trimmed in mission fin
ished oak and book cases and the fur
niture correspond in every detail, all
being made especially with that end in
view. The walls, where they show
above the bookcases, are done in red
and a red velvet carpet covers the
floor. The ceiling is done in a light
cream tint with decorations of a char
acter in keeping with the mission fea-
lures of the room. the colors being red
and green in plain design
in the center of the room is a large
square mission table, Among the chairs
in the room are two large and conf
Portable morris chairs.
The library itself, which DR.. Vile
speaks of as the beginning of a medical
library, seems to be almost complete.
1t contains nearly a thousand volumes,
among which are many of the latest
works of medical authorities and also
a number of old medical works, which
while entirely out of date at the pres
ent time are extremely valuable on ac~
count of their age and the fact that
they were once considered authorities.
