Leeming, Miles & Co., Agents, MONTREAL A Common Bred Cow BLOOD PURIFIER The Golf Craze. DICK‘S of The actior of the drug upon him, which takes place with more or less rapldity, according as tho natural resistance of the victim to the craze is greater or lesser, is as {follows : At Tirst, following clesely upon the loss of appotite, an unappeasable thirst takes possession of him with glddiness, tingling in the ears, halâ€" Itcinations of sight and of hearing, aml a constant mental depression and anxiecty when not under the inâ€" fluence of the drug. Loss of brain power and elther idiocy or furious madness shortly follow. The other, lf more gradual, symptoms of the conâ€" firmod absinthe tippler are no less terrible. They begin with quiverings of tho muscles amla great decrease of physical strength. Then the hair Grops off, teeth become loosened in the gums; the absinthe drinker beâ€" ctomes emnciated, wrinvled ani salâ€" lowâ€"looking, and is a victim to horâ€" rible dreams and delusions of _ all kirds, and finally falls a victim to paralysis. . In the unaccustomed drinker, abâ€" sinthe produces a feeling of strange exaltation. ‘The absinthe drinker, after his first or second glass, if he be a beginner, or if an inured conâ€" sumer, immediately after the absorpâ€" tion of his usual limit, displays great brilliancy of thought, and for a time is, to use the French expression, "raised above himself." As with the use of most drugs, he is compelled from time to time to increase his daily dose so as to produce this feeling, and the inâ€" crease quickly upsets the action of tho digestive organs â€" and destroys the appetite. The habitual absinthe crinker, who in France consumes as much as twonty doses cevery daiy, rever eats more than just suffficient to sustain tife, and acquires a great distaste for all but very _ dry and nonâ€"{attening food. Last Stages. ‘ Even with these additions absinthe always has the medicinal taste of cough mixture or paregoric, and it leaves an after taste upon the tongue. But its effect is immediate, and counteracts the disagreeable taste entirely. First a Medicine. Odldly enough, absinthe first came into use as a medicament. During the war in Algiers {rom 1844 to 1847 the French soldiers were advised by regimental doctors to mix a little absinthe with their wine as a febriâ€" fuge . On their return to France they brought the habit of absinthe drinkâ€" ing with them, and the custom has now becomse so widely disseminated throughout all classes of society as to have become a grave national evil. It is the effect rather than the taste of absinthe which is respongiâ€". ble for its high favor with the French. Its taste is not nice, and only the hardened absinthe drinkers take it neat. The usual addendum is either syrup (gomme as the French call it), or loaf sugar, which is placed upon a perforated spoon across the glass and melted slowly into the drink b{ pouring water, drop by drop, on to it. , Absinthe is prepared by pounding the leaves and flowers of various | kinds of wormwood, the root of anâ€" | gelica, sweet flagroot, Cretan ditâ€" ‘ tany. star anise fruit and other aromatics, and macerating them in every year in France for home conâ€" sumption, but the amount Jmportâ€" er from Switzerland (where a great deal of absinthe is manufactured in the canton of Neuchatel) has not been less than three to four milâ€" lion gallons every year, says the London Mail. M on m en o ETE COs aiculion. ‘The compound soaks 10r eight days, and is then distilled, yielding an emeralidâ€"colored liquid, to which a proportion of oilâ€"oil of anise usuallyâ€"is added. This is the pure absinthe; but little of it is now sold in France, for the adulâ€" terations are innumerable. In the adulterated _ drink the green color is produced by turmeric and indigo; but blue vitrol (0r, as its true name is, cupric sulphate) is often used as a coloring ingrediâ€" ent. It is impossible to erstimate‘ the amount of _ absinthe distilled First a Medicine it Has Come to Do Great Injury. Btatistics show that alcoholism in France is steadily increasing and that the use of absinthe and of other deleterious liquors is rapidly unâ€" dermining _ Frenchmen‘s constituâ€" ‘tions, and is one of the main facâ€" tors in the decrease of the French population every year.

King Edward, however, is merely following the example of other sovâ€" ereigns of Europe! most of whom have been using typewriters _ for some time. Indeed, the Tsar and Tsariza of Russia, the King of the Belgians and the King of Italy manâ€" ipulate typewriters, with a dexterâ€" ity that might almost be styled proâ€" fess‘onal. The Emperor of Germany would alâ€" so fain become an adept in the art, but is unable, as his habitual nervâ€" ousness prevents him from striking the keys unerringly. Even the Suitan King Edward of England recently ordered half a dozen typewriters, ode for his own use and the others for his secretaries.

"What is money in cctnparison with being of use to your fellowâ€"man? Never mind the money ; you go right along at this work every day.

Later in the day he went with his son to the "Free Dispensary," where the young man had an unsalaried poâ€" sition. "Well, son," he said, "how are you getting along ?" "l‘m not getting along at all," was the answer. "I‘m not doing a thing."
