HOPE.

IT KELSO J GOODRICH HCMrHRET. Fray tell me is hope catching, Aa the measles used to be; Cr like the ergs, need batching Keed a growth like you and me. ;ood hope is a brilliant star. For it bids the spirit well ; It shines in the near and far, From palace to prison cell. I The miser hopes for pleasure By holding his neighbor's right. The thief for years of leisure That he blats by deeds of night. Til purchased hopes, they perish. And they only leave us pain; But the better hope to cherish Is to do, and not complain. I knew an aged creature, Just as poor as poor could be A cripple but her feature More than wealth appeared to me. Her hope, each day in knowing How to gain a crown and harp Py twenty years of sewing Frcn taaiy morn till dark. Tertaps our hopes need holding . For a little better clay Hay need a change in molding For a cyclone on its way. Cr if by chance in waiting A notiier should take our place, I think a thought worth stating To the whole of Adam's race. Le Boy, 111., July 10, 1S5.

There were 103 cases of smallpox treated at the hospital, of which ten were fatal. Of those who died not one was vaccinated. Of the other ninetythree not wne had been revaccinated. A forcible illustration of the weight of the atmosphere was given by 1'rofessor 8. 1'. Langley, the American astronomer, in a recent lecture in London. He remarked that the air, so limpid that it scarcely appears to be matter at all, is so enormous in mass that it really presses with nearly a ton to 'each square foot so that the weight of all the buildings in the world's metropolis, for instance, is less than that of the air 'above them. In answer to the question, "Do fish ever sleep?" Dr. Joseph Leidy says: "Sleep is the suspension of the sensory and voluntary motor functions alternating with periods of activity of the same, and probably occur in all animals. During sleep the actions necessary to life are maintained by involuntaty muscles, as in the action of the heart and the muscles of respiration. In the sleep of fishes their position is maintained by involuntary muscular action, as ia the roosting of birds, etc." Professor Tyndall thus endeavors to explain the immunity obtained against a second attack of a contagious disease. "One of the most extraordinary and unaccountable experience in mediciae was the immunity secured by a single attack of a communicable disease against future attacks of the same malady. Smallpox, typhoid, or scarlatina, for example, was found as a general rule to occur once in a lifetime of the individual, the successful passage through the disorder apparently rendering the lody invulnerable. Keating from analogy 1 have ventured io

express the opinion that the rarity of second attacks of communicable disease was due to the removal from the system, by the first parasitic crop, of some idgredient necessary to the growth and propagation of the parasite." Thomas Edison, the electrician, is perfecting an invention designed to enable engineers of trains to communicate easily with one another when the trains are a mile apart in motion. The medium of communication is the telegraph wires along the railroad and an instrument in the engineer's cab. The appliance is designed to prevent collisions in foggy weather at curves or on terminals. It resembles the telephone in some respects. Flagmen and depot-watchers can also use the instrument to commnnicate with approaching or passing trains, no matter of what speed they may be running. Scientists now generally agree that the "Atlantis" of the ancients was an island of continental dimensions between the West Indies and the west coast of Africa, now buried beneath the waters of the Facific Ocean. Gigantic sculptured figures are still to be seen upon Easter Island, evidently the work of a different race than that which now inhabits the island, and one much more numerous since the works referred to are on too large a scale to have been constructed except by many hands. The hieroglyphic tablets of wood discovered upon Easter Island are the only instance of a written language in Gctanica. The governments of France, Germany and the United States are now investigating and exploring this island. ABSINTHE.

Popularity of the Deadly llevernge in This Country The Terrible Nature of the Stimulant and Its Effect I'pon Those Addicted to Its Use. (Wheeling tV. Va.) Register. A well-dressed stranger of middle age, Wearing a haggard, care-worn look on his rather handsome countenance, walked into a popular Market street sample-room yesterday. He bore the indescribable air of a man wlio had "put in the night," and exhibited a restless impatience in waiting on the pleasure of the bartender. His order, when given, was almost whispered, accompanied by a significant nod. The bartender took an ordinary-sized fiask from the shelf behind him, and picking up a tiny spiral glass, holding about a dram, carefully filled it. This glass was in turn emptied into an ordinary wine glass filled with water. On the top of the compound a greenish sediment accumulated, which was carefully removed with a spoon. The beverage was then handed to the customer, who eagerly gulped it down, and paying the charges left the room. In answer to a question from a reporter, the bartender said the drink was absinthe, a French liquor, which is rapidly growing into popularity in this countrv. 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 apietites of the greater portion of the Wheeling people. "We rill an occasional order for absinte for theatrical people, the exalting quality of the streng stimulant making it excessively popular among all reckless classes of society. I know of a number of ladies in Wheeling who daily make use of the stimulant, and who, in order to deceive outsiders, drink alternately at several sample-rooms. There is a strong fascir ation about thedrink, and when a person gets into the habit of using it daily be rarely breaks off. The gentleman who just left the room is a jewelry drummer from New York, and for the past few days he has paid me two or thee visits a day, always drinking the same beverage. He told me he had first begun using the drug eighteen months ago, having it prescribed to him by a physician for dyspepsia, but forming the habit from daily use of the stimulant, he had gradually increased the amount till he had become "a slave to the practice. He said he had attempted on several occasions to break ofT from the habit, but had been forced back by excessive nervousness, giddiness, loss of appetite and sleep. He added that he knew the drug would cause his death in time, but that he could not refrain from its ue. There are several of the young fellows about town who occasionally engage in a glass of absinthe. carelessly disregarding the warnings given "them. There are few outside of these and the occasional tonrist that ever call for the drink. Later in the day the reporter met a prominent young physician, and finding him at leisure secured the following information in reference to the orjgin of the liquor: Absinthe is prepared by jxtiinding the leaves and Howering tojs of various species of wormwood along with angelica root, sweet ring-root, and star-anise fruit, and macerating these in alcohol. After soaking for eight days the confound is distilled, yielding an eiucrald-colorcd liquor, to which a quantity of anise-oil is added. The liquid thus formed constitutes the genuine French absinthe. An inferior quality of absinthe is made with other herbs and essential oils, while the adulterations practiced are numerous and deleterious. In the adulterated liquor the green color is usually produced by tumeric and indigo, but blue" vitriol is often commonly used. The varities especially noted in commerce are divided into two classes, the common and the Swiss, the latter being genuine. The chief seat of its manufacture in the Canton Neufchatel, in Switerland. The liquor is chiefly consumed in France, but there are also large quantities exported to this country. In addition to the large quantities manufactured in France for home consumption, the amount imported from Switzerland averages 2. 000,000 gallons yearly. The drinking of absinthe was introduced in France during the Algerian war, llt-47. The soldiers were advised to mix absinthe with their wine as a febrifuge. On their return they brought with them the habit of drinking it, which is now so widely disseminated in French society, and with such disasterous consequences that the custom is justly considered a great national evil. The appetite is often formed by prescriptions given by physicians, as the drug is often given as a tonic or flatulent dyspepsia; but in my opinion there is as little clanger of a man forming the habit, if he is iossessed of ordinary self-control, as that a prescription of brandy should cause him to become a habitual drunkard. The powerful nature of the stimulant is such that excessive drinking will prove far more deleterious than the use of brandy or strong whiskies. In excessive drinking there is first the feeling of exaltation peculiar to a state of intoxication. The increasing dose necessary to create this effect destroys the digestive organs, and consequently the appetite of the victim. An unappeasable thirst follows, with giddiness, tingling in the ears, hallucination of the sight and hearing, constant mental op pression and anxiety, loss ot brain power, and eventually idiocy. The symptoms in the cascof a tippler commence with muscular quiverings and decrease of physical strength, thenair drops off, and the victim becomes emaciated, wrinkled and sallow, horrible dreams and delusion constantly haunt the unfortunate, and are followed by paralysis, which lands him iu the grave. Fate of a Counterfeiter's Dog. A good story is told of a dog whose depraved instincts had led him into ruffian society, and to his becoming a working partner in a "smashing" business. It was Iiis part to carry the counterfeit coin. In putting off bad money fcr genuine, the chances of escape, should the utterer be detected in the attempt, are much eachanced if, in the event of a policeman being called in, no other bad money is found on him. For this the mongrel in question provided. Tire "sours," as pewter pieces are called In IOndon, were contained in an oblong Iron tobacco box, which the dog is tanght to hold tight in his mouth, and when the smasher had disposed of the solitary false coin in his possession, it was easy for him to get another. But in this instance the villainy of both cur and master was brought to light and projerly punished. The man, with the dog at his heel?1, went into a butcher's shop

in London, designing to exchange a bad halfcrown for a good two shillings and a halfpound of steak. The butcher's dog, a halfbred mastiff, happened to come in at the same moment, but, whether it was his keen instinct that led him to discover that the other was up to no good, or whether he was merely pugnacious and ever ripe for a fight, as are most butchers' dogs, is not Jsjiown. Anyhow, the butcher's honest dog made such a fierce and sudden attack on the counterfeit carrier that in a spasm of fright, the tobacco box was jerked out of the mouth of the latter, and the spurious pieces sent spinning over the floor. The consequence was that the smasher, who in his rah fury betrayed his ownership by savagely kicking at the butcher's dog, was arrested and condemned to ten years' penal servitude. As for the coiner's cur, it was so badly injured by the mastiffs teeth that the policemen felt justified in dispatching it on the spot. Playing Into His Hands. (Chicago News.
