uNcANNY SKILL.

Coroner Corodon Norton of Free

porter about the Carman case.
"Great skill has been displayed in
this\case," the young coroner ended.
"Uncanny skill, l might almost say.
Skill which reminds me of the young
lady at Coney.
"a young lady met young gentle
man at Coney, and they took bath,
and long walk on the beach, and
then they sat down side by side on
the white, clean sand.
"rhe spot was lonely one, and
the young man began to talk of love.
He drew nearer and nearer to the
young lady. Finally he reached out
his arm to encircle her waist.
"But she drew back sharply, and
at the same time she took pair Of
large white cotton gloves from her
handbag.
"'If you're going to be friendly,
George she said, Just slip on these.

land and Switzerland now forbid the
manufacture or sale Of absinthe, and
its importation into the United
States has been illegal since October
l, 1912. The way is now open for
France to stop it by making the
emergency measure permanent
government policy. Assuming that
this action is eventually taken and
absinthe drinking prohibited where
it has been more prevalent, the war
will have effected moral reform
hardly secondary to the suppression
Of opium traffic in China. 1t is COM
monty agreed that absinthe is the
worst alcoholic beverage in its toxic
and convulsant effects, and it is not
mere coincidence that lunacy, tuber-
culosis and degeneracy have in
creased ptoportionally with the con-
sumption Of the green liquor. The
"febrifuge" which the French SOL
diers brought home from Algiers in

national nerve poison, and it would
be poetic justice if the present war
