A POOR DRINKER.
And the: Creat Shakespeare Couldn't Stand
the fare.
IMIr. Frank Flarris in the Saturday
Review offers an ingenious explana-
tion of the poet's death. The com-
mentators have mostly agreed to re-
ject the anecdote that Shakespeare
died of a fever resulting from"a merry
meeting" with Ben Jonson and Michael
Drayton at Stratford -on -Avon. The
story was published by a clergyman
who heart. of it about 90 years after
the event. It has shocked into in-
credulity a good many people wbo im-
agine Shakespeare to have not been a
man, but a demi-god. Nov, Mr. Frank
Harris surmises F • i ea from a number
of
l
passages in Shtkes
P
he4r's
works that.
he was a poor <irLnker, and had a great
contempt for the drinking customs of
his period. .But he was bored to death
at Stratford, and when his friends
came to see him he yielded to the temp-
tation to drink too mu('.h, and paid the
penalty. Jonson and Drayton vers
none the 1'O.Cse for the debauch, but
like his own
'1 cot who. 1 e
it killed the k
Cassie, had "unhappy brains" for this
form of indulgence. The theory is
plausible enough, but then, lIr,
llar-
1is spoilsit by arguing that Shakes-
petra was not only a poor drinker, but
also a, bad sleeper. The well-known
speeches about sleep, Nature'5 sweet
restorer, ars cited to show that the
writer suffered from ins0mni1. They
may mean no more than Shakespeare's
o'bsorvation of the effects of sleepless-
ness in others, just as the diatribes
against drtnkies may prove nothing ex-
cept ghat, while t4 groat toper him-
self, this most sympathetic of all mor-
tals could enter into the feelings of
men who were constitutionally incap-
able of carrying their liquor.
FEROCIOUS MOSQUITOES.
A writer at Glenera tells of ti1)3 for-
omo35n_st of the lnoquitoes that lay
