! The Mescal Button.
Peyote, known commercially as mes-
| cal, is a species of cactus grown in
| northern Mexico. The mesecal button,
about one and a balf inches in diam-
: eter, is to the uninitiated disagreeable
i in both odor and taste. Although a tea
is made from it, it is more generally
eaten in its dry state, and has hence
| been called “dry whisky.” The effect
| upon the user is different from that of
| any other drug. There is trembling
and nausea, a sense of dual existence,
i In some cases a delirflum somewhat
| similar to delirium tremens, and an
| overestimation of time—minutes be-
| coming hours and hours long periods
of time. The most extraordinary ef-
fect, however, is the visual hallucina-
tions and the effect upon the hearing.
The habitue enjoys a regular kaleido-
scopic play of most wonderful colors.

The Difference.
Herman Frasch, chief chemist of the
Standard Oil company. who died
worth $5,000,000. made many millions
for his employers by his utilization of
waste.
In an interview in New York, dis-
cussing the discovery that turned coal
tar from a waste to a highly valuable
byproduct. Mr. Frasch once said to a
reporter:
“That one little change, that little
chemical change, did it all. There is
never more than a tiny difference, you
know, between a waste and a byprod-
uct, between wealth and poverty. be-
tween success and failure.
“Look, for example, into some great
business office. Here is a haggard
man in his shirt sleeves on a high stool
working for dear life—he checks the
cash. Then, in a little glass office all
by himself. look at that other frock
coated man leaning back in a tufted
green leather armchair, smoking a ci-
gar and reading the paper—he cashes
the checks.”—Boston Record.
Eating Asparagus.
Mr. G. K. Chesterton does not like
the modern way of eating asparagus.
“Excluding cannibalism,” he writes,
“and the habit of eating sand (about
which I can offer no opinion). there
is really nothing one can eat which is
less fit to be eaten with the fingers
than asparagus. It is long; it is greasy;
it is loose and liable to every sort of
soft yet sudden catastrophe; it is al-
ways eaten with some sort of oily
sauce, and its nice conduct would in-
volve the powers of a professional jug-
gler, combined wiih some practice in
climbing the greasy pole. Most things
could easily be eaten with one’s fingers.
Only this one tiresome, toppling vege-
table I eat between my finger and
thumb. I should be better off as a
giraffe eating the top of a palm tree.
It doesn’t want any holding up.”—Lon-
don Chronicle.
Lots of Vowels.
In the Hawaiian language every
word ends in a vowel. A Hawaiian
finds it almost impossible to pronounce
two consonants together, and in Eng-
lish he has the greatest difficulty in
pronouncing any word ending with a
consonant. Mr. Hale in his Polynesian
grammar says: “In all the Polynesian
dialects every syllable must terminate
in a vowel, and two consonants are
never heard without a vowel between
them. It is chiefly to this peculiarity
that the softness of these languages is
to be attributed. The longest syllables
have only three letters, and many syl-
lables . consist of a single vowel.”
Again, no syllable, as a.general rule,
in the Bantu family of African speech
can end in a consonant, but only in
vowels.

ess to an amount exceeding two per centum

tation, may be authorized by law to increase the
