WARNING IN MARBLE.
Evils of the Absinthe Habit Vividly
Portrayed by Sculptor.
More forcefully appealing than even
hospital statistics and the dictum of
the members of the Academy of Medi
cine that French character and phy
sique are being undermined by the per
nicious consumption of absinthe is the
sculptured group of the victims of the
habit now exhibited by Eugene Le
grain, who has a studio at 5 Rue de la
Pltie, Paris. The figures convey, even
to the inimaginative mind, a most
striking and terrible story, which for
moral effect has not been equaled
since the days when Zola’s "L'Assom
moir” made the boulevards and the
cafes shudder. M. Legrain’s work Is
a sort of modern “Saturnalia.”
The French habit of taking an
“aperitif" when the day’s work is done
to universally known. Workmen from
the Halles, shop girls from the stores
and millinery establishments in the
vicinity of the Palais Royale, and stu
dents from the Quartler Latin and
Montmartre assemble In the nearest
brasserie or cafe for l'heure solen
nelle de l’aperitlf”—half past five. And
there they sit and gossip, read the pa
pers, of write letters until their ineb
The Legrain Sculptured Group.
nation draws them home or to some
place of evening amusement But the
pernicious influence of the so-called
appetizer is not loft behind—its power
as a stimulant is remembered the next
day when the brain becomes weary
with toil or illness. Then the sufferer
steals away, and again seeks the tran
sitory inspiration of the wormwood
drug. Thus are the slaves of absin
the made.
When the Dreyfus crisis was at Its
height nine years ago Dr. Metchnlkoff
of the Pasteur institute was asked how
it was that an entire nation could have
so long and heatedly maintained the
delusion of the guilt of the unfortunate
prisoner of Devil's Isle. He replied
with "one word: “Absinthe.” When an
unfortunate laborer kills his wife and
children with no apparent motive;
when a bank clerk suddenly absconds
with thousands; when an army officer
sells strategic secrets to a possible
enemy; when a supreme court judge
in rage throws up his position on the
bench and retires because of a fancied
slight from the minister of Justice, the
answer to the question of the why and
wherefore is always the same—always
that one word—absinthe.
In other words, the intellectual world
of France believes that absinthe is the
curse of the fatherland, which makes
her vulnerable to internal mental hal
lucinations, weak and degenerate, and
an easy prey to an invading enemy.
All that is base, unloved, and unlove
ly in French character is described by
that one word absinthe. No wonder
that the sculptured group by Legrain
is considered to convey a most strik
ing moral lesson.
THE USE OP ALCOHOL,
It Acta •• a Paralyzer Upon the Brain
Center.
Writing In “Science Progress," Dr.
Cushny maintains that “some of the
hughest functions of the brain are
thrown out of action by alcohol ad
ministered In quantities which Induce
the phase of exhilaration. Thus it Is
found that typesetters do a smaller
amount of work and make a much
larger number of misprints when even
a couple of glasses of beer are allowed
than when they perform their work
without this drug. Only in one re
spect was any increased aptitude
shown—namely, in the transformation
of an idea into movement. And many
ergographlc experiments appear to
show that small quantities of alcohol
have the effect of temporarily in
creasing the capacity of doing muscu
lar work, especially when the subject
is fatigued. This augmentation is only
transient, and the total work done in
the course of the day Is considerably
reduced by alcohol, as has long been
demonstrated In the case of forced
marching.”
As to the use of alcohol as medi
cine, Dr. Cushny says: "Alcohol is a
drug which may be useful In thera
peutics, although I think it can hardly
b* considered indispensable, but which
has so often given rise to habit that
Its use must be curtailed to the utmost
malt.”
