I Not an Enemy in the Whrld.
When Narvaez, Duke of Valencia, lay
' on his death-bed, the Archbishop of
Granada stood by his side, endeavoring
to prepare him for the great change. I
“ I trust that you have pardoned all
your enemies, that you also may receive
forgiveness.”
“ I have no enemies,
man.
“ But your excellency, a man who has
been so long in oflice as you have-”
“ I haven’t one, I tell you.”
“ Still, it is just possible—”
“ Not one, I repeat.” -
“ Pardon me, your excellency—"
Losing his patience, Narvaez raised
himself up with what strength he had
left and Said to the archbishop:
“ Look here, I have no enemies; I had
them all shot, and there’s an end of it I”

Umbrella "Tells.”
To place an umbrella in a. rack at a'
club indicates that it will shortly change
owners, if a cotton one is substituted for
asilk, it means exchange is no robbery.
An umbrella held over a lady, with a
man getting all the raindrops from the
points, signifies courtship; but when a
man keeps the lion’ 8 share of the article
and gives the lady the droppings it indi-
Cates maniage.‘ To carry an umbrella
under the arm at an angle implies that
the individual following will lose an eye,
while to hold it just high enough to in-
jure passers' eyes and men’s hats, signi-
fies “ I am a woman." Lastly, the loan
of an umbrella is synonymous with an
act of egregious folly.—-Atchison Globe.
, Hot Sidewalks: 313 Feet.
“Do you know what makes big feet
in Chicago?” I was asked yesterday by
C. E. Berdan, a traveling man for a New
York wholesale house, who went on to
say :. “ I can tell you all about it. The
big feet come from hot sidewalks. Hot
feet invariably increase in size because
all the spare blood is drawn into them.
When Chicagoans walk constantly over
hot pavements they get big feet. What
makes the pavements hot? Oh, that is
easily explained, The underground base
ment restaurant is the great “ fad ” in
Chicago, and the kitchens are run under
the sidewalks, and even under the streets.
The bigger the kitchen is under the
street the hotter it is and the greater the
size. of the restaurant and the owner’s

SOMETHING ABOUT THE FRENCH-
l'-.lAN’S DANGEROUS DRINK.
It I: Made of “'ormwood and Is Highly
lntoxicntln‘g—Ofller Ingredients—The
Distiller. at Pentax-lies- lu the Jun.
Peculiar-“lee ofthe Insidious Liquid.
On my return from Switzerland, says
a correspondent of the San Francisco
Chronicle, I was detained a few hours at
the little frontier town of Pontarlier, in
the northwest part of the Jura. I was
told that the people in the department
(Dons) , for the radius of thirty miles of
Pontarlier, including necessarily a por-
tion of Switzerland, depend almost en-
tirely for their support on the making of
cheese and the cultivation and sale of
wormwood. The raising of wormwood,
a bitter weed of American field and gar-
dens used by old women as a febrifuge
and vermifuge, seems a curious industry,
but all that can be produced finds a
ready sale to the distillers of absinthe at
Pontarlier; which is the centre of this
extensive industry. Absinthe, it should
be remembered, is the French for worm-
wood.
Absinthe is made of wormwood, with
the addition of other aromatic herbs
that give the green color and render the
taste more agreeable. When it is dis-
tilled with care, says a. special plea by
the distillers, and consumed in reason-
able quantities, it is a beverage, tonic
and refreshing. But too much of it
should not be taken, even when it is
good, for it contains a high percentage
of alcohol. Many distillers simply
macerate the wormwood and other herbs
and steep them cold in alcohol made of
beets or of grain, by which means the-
poisonous oils are extracted from the
herbs. These poisonous qualities and
the bad alcohols necessarily have a bad
effect and produces that rapid and dan-
gerous state of intoxication that drinkers
of absinthe have often noticed in regard
to themselves. A beverage that operates
on the nerves in such a; manner as to pro-
duce instantaneous intoxication lmust
necessarily be dangerous, first to the
health and ultimately to the reason.
This efiect itself shows that the liquor is
_of bad quality and should be condemned.
A French physiman says of worm-
wood: “ Its bitterness is its principal
merit. It is tonic, stimulating, febri-
fuge and vermifuge. It is par excellence
the herb of pale and feeble women. It
is the quinine of the poor. A slight
pinch is sufficient in a liter of boiling
water,” &c. It is evident to the most
ordinary apprehension that-a liquor made
with a good alcohol from-a herb that has
been in use the world over as a common,
domestic remedy and has formed a part
of the pharmacopceia. from time im-
memorial cannot be harmful if used in
moderation.
Two kinds of absinthe. or wormwood,
are used in making the liquor at Pontar-
list, the great and the small, the first for
its bitter qualities, and the last, which is
gathered immature, chiefly to act in giv-
ing the delicate green color. The other
plants employed in the distillation are
balm, caraway, anise and hyssop. Balm
is classed medicinally as anti-nervous,
an important antidote in a liquor con-
sidered as acting too forcibly on the ner-
vous system. The qualities of caraway
and anise are familiar to every one. The
last is greatly used in medicine and in
many other ways for its flavor and per-
fume. The caraway used at Pontarlier
comes from the south of France; the
best anise from Southwestern France and
Andalusia, in Spain. The flowers of hys-
sop are regarded as stimulating and ex-
pectorant. All the plants used in the
making of absinthe, it will be seen, have
recognized medicinal qualities, and all,
probably, as tea or cofiee, a poisonous es-
sence that should not be extracted in the
process'of distillation, and so become a
part of the liquor.
As to its history, absinthe, though it
I has not been fashionable till within a few
years past, was invented some 150 years
ago at Couvet, a little city of Switzer-
land, a few miles below Pontarlier. The
inventor could have never anticipated the
fame it would achieve. After having
passed through various hands it was pur-
chased by the ancestor of the principal
distiller of Pontarlier, to which place the
industry was transferred near the close
-of the last century, since which epoch
the use of liquor has been gradually ex
tended.
The principal distillery of Pontarlier,
which hasits patent from the inventor, is
an immense establishment, covering sev-
eral acres, admirably appointed in every
respect, kept with extraordinary neatness
and, for the convenience of transporta-
tion, connected with the railroad station,
some three-quarters of a mile distdnt, by
a. track of its own.
Some questions regarding the habits
of the workmen were answered with a
certain freedom. I desired toknow how
they were treated, and if from daily con-
tact with a liquor reported so dangerous
they did not acquire the habit of using it
too often. My guide said that happened
sometimes, but not as often as it hap-
pened in distilleries making no matter
what kind of liquor. As a general thing
the workmen were satisfied with the
odor with which the place was impreg-
nated, and which newcomers found
somewhat intoxicating. Every employee
was given a glass of absinthe every
morning, with a half bottle of red wine,
and they were all generally temperate
and contented.
\Vhy We Have Two Eyes. '
The advantages of two eyes consist in
the fact that we look at objects from a
slightly difierent point of view with each.
It is thus that we obtain our ideas of
perspective and solidity. For instance,
we see both sides of a flat object held
edgewa-y‘s to «us, but we only see one side
if we shut one eye. Spectroscopic pic-
tures' are formed on this principle by the
‘ joining of two photographs of the same
object taken from slightly difiuent posi-
tions. This Eves the appearance of
solidity to the t picture when looked
‘ through the lenses.

Origin of a soup. -
The exiles who took refuge in London
at the time of the French Revolution
met the poverty and the hardships Iof
their lot with much woourage They
never begged, audit was often dificult
to induce them to accept the funds sub-
scribed for their assistance.
The women did not accept the partially
worn and soiled clothing of the wealthy
and oharitably inchned ladies, as most
women intheir condition would have
been glad to do, but managed with the
cheapostmaterials to deem neatly and
tastefully '
Their necessities developed an inven-
tive' spirit. The records of the London
Patent Dace at the beginning of the
eighteenth century have on every page
such ,namm as Blondeau. Dupin, Car.
done], Gastineau, Leblond and Oourant.
How ingenious they were in utilizing the
most unpromising of materials' is shown
"by their invention of a now famous dish.
When the London butchers slaughtered
their beef they were accustomed . to
throw away the tails with the refuse.
The French women had the bright idea
of buying them, since they could get
them for hen to nothing, and making
soup of them. And thus they gave to
England the popular ox- tail soup, which
loyal Englishmen now consider an 637
sentially national dish. -—Youth‘s Oom-

Wagner at his Swiss home. The two

Why Jackson Was Called Old Hickory.
The way in which Jackson acquired
the title “ Old Hickory ” was humorous-
ly told by himself. During the Creek
war he was on one occam’on taken ill
while the command was stationed near
the bank of a river. Some of the men,
compassionating his condition, built for
him a shed or hut, peeling the bark from
large hickory trees in the vicinity in
order to obtain the necessary ma-
terial. The general was occupying this
improvised shelter when a well-known
taper of the command came along, and
being in a rollicking mood, and not
knowing who was within, summarily
kicked over the tent. .As Jackson
emerged from its ruins the undismayed
drunkard merrily shouted, " Hello, Old
Hickory, come out and have a drink.”
The name took and from that time on
Jackson was known among‘his troops as
“ Old Hickory.”’——Globe-Democrat.

Therewasaloud ringat Mrs. Blank's
door bell one evemng last week- The
onedomestic had gone up to her room
but canie down and opened the door.
- It was a messenger boy and he brought
a indie to 115.131.11.11... .' -
“Tell him to wait until I see if thereis
_ any answer,” said Mrs. Blank over the
vbaluster.
The girl handed the note to her mis-
tress and went to :her room in the back
part of the house, leaving the lady to an-
- swer the note and dismiss the boy. -
The note was from Mr Blank. It ran
thus.
DARLING (they were recently merried)—A
' customer of the house' is in the city and has
asked me to go to the theatre with him. I
.will not be home till late, but do not sit up or
feel uneasy. Hurriedly,

Mrs. Blank sat' a long time with the
note in her hand, trying to analyze her
feelings. She was diSappointed, lonely,
a trifle jealous, and somewhat distrust-
ful. ~ This mixture of emotions made her
forgetful. She feared it was the begin-
ning of the end. If Tom had loved her
as he once did, would he—would he—
no, he wouldn’t. The customer could
have got to the theater as best he might.
Tom would have returned to his Nellie.
Then she cried a. lttle, and after that,
like a sensible little woman, she went to
.beda-ndtosleep.
Tom got home at eleven. He unlocked
the door and, seeing something in the
hall chair, turned up the gas to look at
it. It was a boy, and he ,was, {sound
. asleep.
“ I—7I was waiting for an answer,” he
stammered, as Tom awakened him with-
out ceremony.
‘ Well, you’ve got it,” said Tom, and
forwith he bounced him.
But the next day he went down to the

Human hair varies in thickness from
the 250th to the 600th part of an inch.
The fiber of the very coarsest wool is
only the 500th part of an inch in diame-
ter, while in some species of the sheep
it takes 1,500 of their hairs laid side by
side to cover an inch on the rule. The
silk worm’s web is only the 5,300th part
of an inch in thickness, and some of the
spiders spin a web so minute that it
would take 60, 000 of them to form a rope
an inch in diameter! A pound’ 5 weight
of spider’s web of this size would reach
around the world and then leave enough
to reach from New York to San Fran-
cisco. A single grain of musk has been
known to perfume a. room for twenty
years. At the lowest computation that
grain of musk must have been divided -
into 320, 000, 000,000, 000 particles, each of
them capable of affecting the olfactory
organs. The human Skin is perforated
by at least 1,000 holes in .the space of
each square inch. For the sake of argu-
ment, say there is exactly 1,000 of these

Who-o Eats Meat Cuhnot Sing.
One whose business it has been to find
pemons suited for vocalists says he never
loses his time looking for a fine voice in
a country where fish or meat diet 'pre-
vails. Vocal capacity disappears in
families as they grow rich, because they
eat more meat. Those Italians who eat
the most fish (those of Naples and
Genoa) have few fine singers among
them. The sweet voices are found in
Irish women of the country, and not of
the towns. Norway is not a country of
singers, because they eat too much fish;
but Sweden is a. country of grain and
song. The carnivorous birds croak;
grain eating birds sing. -—Musical Mil-
