ABSINTHE AS A BEVERAGE
The Deadly Drink Growing
in Popularity. |
A. Pastor’s Fruitless Struggle Against
the Seductive Trench Liquor.
A well dressed stranger of middle
age, wearing a haggard, care worn
look on his rather handsome counte¬
nance, walked into a popular Market
street sample room at noon yesterday.
He bore the indescribable air of a man
who had “put in the night,” and ex¬
hibited a restless impatience in wait¬
ing on the pleasure of the bartender.
His order when given was almost
whispered, accompanied by a signifi¬
cant nod. The bartender took an or
dinarv sized flask from the shelf
behind him, and picking up a tiny
spiral ghiss, holding about a drachm,
carefully filled it- This glass in turn
was emptied into an ordinary wine
glass filled with water. On the top of
the compound a greenish scum accum
ulated, which was carefully removed
with a spoon. The beverage was then
handed to the customer, who eagerly
gulped it down, and paving the
charges left the room. In answer to
a question from the reporter, the bar
tender said the drink was absinthe, a
French liquor, which is rapidly grow
ing into popularity in this country.
In answer to a query as to the amount
drank in Wheeling, the bartender
answered that the calls for either
that particular beverage, or any other
fancy drink of a kindred nature, were
comparatively few, straight drinks
having a tenacious grip on the appe¬
tite of the greater portion of our
Wheeling people.
Later in the day the reporter met a
prominent young physician, and find
ing him at leisure secured the follow
ing information in reference to the
origin of the liquor: Absinthe is pre
pared by pounding the leaves and
flowering tops of various species of
worm wood along with angelica root,
sweet flag root and staranise fruit,
and macerating theso in alcohol.
Alter soaking for eight days the com
pound is distilled, yielding an emerald
colored liquor, to which a quantity of
anise oil is added. The liquor thus
formed constitutes the genuine French
absinthe.
An inferior quality of absinthe is
made with other herbs and essential
oils, while the adulterations practised I
are numerous and deleterious. In the
adulterated liquor the green color is
usually produced by tumeric and indi¬
go, but blue vitriol is often commonly
used. The vareities especially noted
in commerce are divided into two
classes, , the . common and the Swiss, j .
the latter being genuine. The chief
seat of its manufacture is in the can- I
ton of Neufchatel, in Switzerland.
The liquors are chiefly consumed in
France,but there is also large quantities
exported to this country. In addition
to the large quantities manufactured
m France for home consumption, the '
amount imported from Switzerland
averages 2,000,000 gallons yearly. The
drinking of absinthe was introduced I
In France during the Algerian war—
1844-1847. The soldiers were advised
to mix absinthe with their wine as a
febrifuge. On their return they
brought with them the habit of drink¬
ing it, which is now so widely disseua
Inated in I rench society, and with
such disastrous consequences that the
custom is justly considered a great
national evil. The appetite ia often
formed by prescriptions given by phy
Bieians, as the drug is often given as a
tonic for flatulent dyspepsia; but in
my opinion there is as little danger of
a man forming the habit if he is pos¬
sessed of ordinary self control as that
if a prescription of brandy should
cause him to become a habitual drunk
ard. The poweiful nature of the
stimulant is such that excessive drink
ing will prove far more deleterious
than the use of brandy or strong whis¬
keys. In excessive drinking there is
first the feeling of exaltation peculiar
to a state of intoxication. The in .
creosiDg dose necessary to create this
effect destroys the digestive organs,
and consequently the appetite of the
victim.
An appeasable thirst follows, with
giddiness, tingling in the ears, halluci¬
nation of the sight and hearing, con
stant mental oppression and anxiety,
loss of brain power and eventually
idi cy. The symptoms in the case of
a tippler commence with muscular
quiverings and decrease of physical
strength, the hair drops off and the
victim becomes emaciated, wrinkled
and sallow, horrible dreams and delu¬
sions constantly haunt the uufortunate
and are iollowed by paralysis which
lands him in his grave.
There have been several instances
in this city that came under my view
of ladies who are slaves of this habit.
One in particular is fast breaking
down under the steady drain on her
pbysical forcea She is wealthy, and
has several times been treated with a
view toward relieving her of the spec¬
tre which haunts her, but the attempts
have been unsuccessful, as her will
in this city, who several years ago
began the habit, and constantly toyed
with the drug until he has become a
slaveto the habit We had an in
stance here several years ago of a
popular divine who catered to his ap
uu...d„h. ™
in an anteroom of his church in a
state bordering on idiocy. He accept¬
ed a call to a distant city shortly after,
and the story of his misfortune never
came out. He was an exceptionally
brilliant man, of strong and determin¬
ed countenance, and the last man in
world one would judge could give
away to the cravings of his appetite.
There would have been several other
instances in addition to those above
recited, among them a former resident
of the city who several years ago
migrated Fast, but died shortly
after reaching his new home. His
death was undoubtedly caused or
hastened by the drug, of which he had
been a constant tippler a year previ
ous to his departure. The drug in its
crude state is principally derived from
absinithum, a plant indigenous to
Northern Africa, Asia and the greater
part of Europe, it has also been
transplanted to this country, where it
grows rapidly and where it has been
cultivated extensively for medicinal
purposes. — Wheeling (IF. V .) Regis

College Expenses.
The following is from the New York
Mail and Express:
The annual expense of a course of
study at old Bowdoin is from fffOO to
$800. It is not fashionable there to
‘-xtrux agant.
An Amherst college student can
finish the course at a cost of $0b0 a
year, and at tho outside it need not
cost him over $1000.
The expenses at Vassar college run
from $500 to $1000 a year. The girls
j have no football teams or rowing clubs
to support.
Brown University is rather expen¬
sive. A scholar can spend $1000 if he
wants to, but the actual expense need
not exceed $b50.
A srudent at Y'ale college can pay all
his real expenses with $400 a year,and
yet $3000 can be expended in so-called
legitimate expenses,

Building I'P » Hay-Mack. J
The great point to be secured in stack¬
ing hay is, according to an exchange,
to keep the center the highest. If this
ia done water cannot penetrate into the
stack, but will find its way to the out¬
side under the most unfavorable circum
stances. If on the other band the ceuter
is hollow, the water must drain into the
center and so ruin the stack. An excel¬
lent way to build a stack is to set a tall
sapling firmly in the gr- und, with a
foundation of rails around it; then begin
at the center, and place the hay about
the pole, gradually spreading until the
edge of the base is reached. Continue
building up the stack, the highest in the
center around the pole, the builder stand¬
ing in the center so as to tread the hay
firmly there. As the stack settles tho
outside sinks more than the center, and
helps to make the stack better. The
top of the stack is finished by fastening
a covering of hay to the pole with hay
bands wound firmly around it. A stack
so made will not leak, and even clover
hay may be safely stacked in this man¬
ner, because the water must make its way
to the outside by the force of gravity,
and escape there by dropping to the
ground clear of the stack.
Uniterm ilk for falvea and Pig's.
We are asked tho value of buttermilk
for swine and calves, and why it is not
considered as safe to feed without any
additional food, as skimmed milk. It
is slightly richer in fat, having one per
cent, and slightly less albuminoid mat¬
ter. It is figured at twenty-two cents
per 100 pounds. It will produce a rapid
growth on calves and pigs, if it does not
derange the stomach. But buttermilk is
apt to be in a strong condition of fer¬
mentation. This very soon produces bad
form of scours, which, unless taken
quickly, may end fatally. It is hardly
safe to feed buttermilk without mixing
one-half pound of finished middlings
(what fanners call “canel”) per gallon of
buttermilk. If it is quite sour it should
be boiled with the middlings. The heat
will neutralize the acidity, but it will
not be as valuable as before fermenta¬
tion has eaten up some of the food ele¬
ments. We often recommend keeping
a little flaxseed on hand for use in check¬
ing scours, and it will be most useful
here. Boil one quart of flax-seed in six
quarts of water. This will become like
jelly. Stir a little of this boiled flax¬
seed into the ration of each calf, or into
that for several calves or pigs. The
emollient effect of this is very soothing
to the stomach. Feeders should not con¬
sider a few bushels of flax-seed as adding
to expenses, for it is worth all it costs,
fed in small quantities, as promoting
rapid growth. We always use this in¬
stead of linseed oil, for there is danger
of getting impure oil, but the seed can
be relied upon .—National Live Stock
Manner off Applying* Manure.
To my mind it appears that the kind
of plowing has a good deal to do with
it. If I turn manure under with a flat
furrow and cover it wholly with five, six
or 6even inches of soil, it is buried whero
the roots of plants cannot reach it until
they have passed through all that poor
soil, and the plants may starve before
they can reach this food, just as a man
outside of a baker’s shop with a brick
wall and iron shutters between him and
the bread dies for want of bread. But
if I plow the manure in with lap fur¬
rows and so have alternate slices lying
on edge of manure and soil and then run
the harrow through it, it is evident the
soil and manure are mingled quite inti¬
mately as deep as the land is plowed;
nnd there cannot possibly be a better
way of doing the work than this for the
growing young crop, which has food
everywhere for its roots within reach.
AYlien manure is spread on tlie’surface,
the roots cannot get it until the rain
washes it. down, and if a dry time comes
the plants may starve just as in the first
case. And anyhow there must he waste
from this manure, from the evaporation
ftoi.i it into the air, as it dries repeatedly
during its decay. There is a world of
experience upon this question, dating
back for many years, all going to show
that the roots of plants have a very great
effect in causing the decay of organic
matter in the soil, and if the roots can
vot get at this matter (the manure! they
cannot act, and one of their most im¬
portant functions is prevented. The
manure and the soil should be brought
into the closest contact so far as the
roots of the young plants extend, and
this is all through the soil, at least as
deep as it is plowed. I have tried
this many times. In plowing in—not
under—five loads of manure per acre I
have seen better effects in the crops than
with forty loads spread on the surface
and lying all summer. I want to manure
the soii, not the air.—.1 Pewtsyltania

The devotion of Mrs. Grant was touch¬
ing. As careful as any one not to tax
him when he needed only rest, she was
never beyoni easy call, and had no
thought apparently hut for his comfort.
Her greeting was the first to cheer him
in the morning after the doctor's treat¬
ment. It wai her chair that was drawn
close t« his oo the porch. Whenever he
wanted company she was part of it, and
many hours ia his last days were spent
with her alone. Often they could be
seen together when not a word was
spoken, mere companionship satisfying
them. Visitors seeing them thus were
wont to remjrk that it was as though
nothing so well suited them as that their
last days should be as were their first,
sufficient for sach in the company of the
other. So anxious was she to be at his
side that she Tould not leave the cot¬
tage at any tine for any purpose, even
declining to go to the hotel with the
family for meals. And when the gen¬
eral was confined to his sick-room or
needed absolute rest and seclusion at any
time, she would retire to privacy and
comfort herself with prayer in his be¬
half. Her faith never wavered that her
intercession spared him so long.—Aete

Krd Haired Girl* at Asliurr Park.
A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press, in a letter describing the attrac
tions at Asbury Park, says:
Auburn tresses are in high fashion. I
counted thirty-six red-headed girls at As¬
bury this afternoon during a ten minutes
promenade. Yesterday at the bathing
hour the surf seemed to be all the while
breaking out iu bright spots, so numer¬
ous were the red heads bobbing up in
the sea. They tell lue here that the red¬
headed girls nearly all come from Tren¬
ton. New Y’ork sends but a few, and
Philadelphia contributes none at ail.
Why the Jersey capital should be such s
nursery of heads of flame, so to speak, ]
can’t imagine. The girls are all vain of
their hair, and are the envy of the shore.
The color isn’t a plain, dull brick, but
nearer that of a ripe, freshly-picked Jer
sey strawberry. After they have had a
dip in the surf the girls parade up and
down the beacii with their long, bright
tresses flowing over towels down their
basks, and when several of these straw¬
berry-headed girls gather in a group, the
spectacle is an interesting one. Big,
deep blue eyes, and clear, fa r skins—
without a freckle—go with the Trenton
hair, as a rule. A manicure here, who
also dresses hair, tells me that the yearn¬
ing for red heads is just intense, and
young women are coming in every day
to inquire what under the sun will give
blonde and black tresses a strawberry
hue. So far no process has been enter¬
tained, but if one should be found out
before the summer is over, its discoverei
will be likely to make a dollar or two ii

Fashion Note*.
Low-cut shoes are fashionable foi
street wear.
High-crowned hats with narrow brims
are the ones most worn.
Satin-finished cashmere is an effective
material; it is also durable.
Light-plaid cloths and dark diagonals
are used for traveling wraps.
Ribbons are used in gTeat quantities
on dresses, wraps and bonnets.
Woolen laee is much used on hats in
smooth bands, in ruffles, or in huge, full
rosettes, covering the entire front of tho
hat crown.
A dainty little lace pin is a spray of
fine leaves and a stem of diamonds, the
flowers being tiny forget-me nits in
frosted gold.
Velvet is used for covering the rim of
hats, and should be of the mo t becom¬
ing color to the wearer. Dark velvets
with very light crowns is the rule.
A new design for a polonaise hns the
entire bodice covered with fiat plaits
Btitchcd down both back and front tc
below tho waist line, where tho extra
fulness is allowed to flow into the skirt.
Lace flounces on grenadine dresses are
very wide, laid flat, and are only slight¬
ly fulled or not at all, and form the lub¬
ber and pouf in the back, and sometimes
panels and side robes.
The tendency to have the skirt cling
closely in front and on the sides, while
the back is full, continues, but there is
also a marked disposition to retain the
full puffs on the hips and the short, ful
draperies in front.
Delicately-striped grenadines, showing
an alternate stripe of colored satin, are
worn as princcsse polonaises over skirts
of white lace, these arranged in deep
flounces over foundation skirts of satin

With dressy toilets, plaited ruches of
pale pink, cream, lilac and blue silk
crepe are worn; they arc usually fas
tened at one side with a bow of ribbon
a jeweled < rnament or a spray of natural
flowers, and sometimes a handsome finish
of rich lace falls below the plaiting.

A Remedy for Sprees.
A young wife had just settled in her

was a drunkard. But one night he
came home at a very late hoar and much
the worse for liquor. When he stag¬
gered into the house his wife was very
much shocked; he told her he was sick
and mast lie down at once; and in a
moment or two he was comfortably laid
on the sofa in a drunken sleep, His
face was reddish purple, and altogether
he was a pitiable-looking object, Tho

severe remedies must be used. “You

she urged, “or I will send for some one
who will.” The husband’s bead was ac¬

blisters were eating into his flesh, it was |
