For years the poet Francis Thompson had been one'oe the `submerged," sell- ing matches, calling cabs, anything to obtain the pence necessary to buy food. At last he yielded to despair, and, hav ing for some days saved up all he could earn, he devoted it to the purchase of a single dose of laudanum sufficient to end his troubles. 'With this he retired at night to his haunt, the rubbish plot in Covent Garden Market. Then by his own narrative the following incident occur- red: He had already taken half the fatal draught when he felt a hand upon his arm and looking up saw one whom he recognized as Ohatterton forbidding him to drink the rest, and at the same in- stant memory came to him of how, af- ter that poet's suicide, a letter had been delivered at his lodgings which, if he had waited another day, would havo brought him the relief needed. It happened so with Thompson, for, af- ter infinite pains the editor of a maga- zine, who had accepted and printed an essay and a poem of his, but-oould not discover his address, had that eery morn, ing traced Thompson to the chemist's shop 'Where the drug tt'as sold,atid re- lief for. him was close. at .hand.—Prow the Academy.. -. • ee•P - Too Shy.

HEART AND QTS LOST LOVE E A Question of Sentiment on Which Honest Divergence of Opinion Ex- ists—And a Question of Fad on 'Which Everybody Agrees. An eminent writer on the ethical question of love has said: "To be happy though re=married argues both adaptibility, and courage." Another authority says that most women can really and truly love two, three or four times with equal fervor, bat that a inan can only really love once. There are many cases cited to prove these facts, but opponents of the theory n ; with eoual , readiness contra e of one snows con- sumptioh which c eve opo iroan a slight cold, and who, though a sense of duty to his family prompts him to re -marry, cannot break away from the old love of his early days. This man says he contracted consumption fronr his late wife, but learning of the wonderful merits of Psychine to cure throat andlung troubles, prompty re- sorted to it, with the result that he is perfectly restored. He states he believes it would have saved his wife if he had used it, He says he would have used it but for the doctors. Nosy he puts his faith in Psychine and af- firms that if be ever marries again his next wife will not die of throat or lung trouble, as he knows Psy- chine to be a positive cure. "I herewith send my photo and tes- timonial for Psychine. I was given up 16 years ago, as an incurable con- sumptive, by Prof. Lyman, Rush Med- ical College, Chicago. I suffered sev- eral years after this until I heard of Psychine, and through it I was re- stored to perfect health, which I have enjoyed for the past ten years.

Tltlte the see the practice is of ancient FEIGNING DEATE. Trick Resorted to by Beasts to Shun Their Enemies. The feigning of death by certain ani- mals for the purpose of deeciving tilt it• enemies, and thin securing immunity, is one. of the greatest of tine ntany eve deuces of their intelligent ratiocination, This simulations is not confined to any- particular family, order or species of an- imal, but exists in many, from the very lowest to the highest. It is found even in the vegetable kingdom, the well- known sensitive plant being an interest- ing exammple.. The action of this plant is purely reflex, as can b eproved by ob- servation and experiment, and is not therefore, a•proeess of intelligence. An experimenter, writing in Wissen fur Alle, says that he has seen the feigning of death in some .of the lowest animals known to science. Some time ago, while examining the inhabitants of a drop of pond water under a high-power lens, he noticed several rhizopods busily feeding on the minute buds of an alga. These rhizopods suddenly drew in their hairlike filaria and sank to the bottom, to all appearances dead. The cause was found to be the presence 'of a water louse, an animal which feeds on these animalculue. It likewise sank to the bot- tom, and, after looking at the rhizopods, swam away, evidently regarding them as dead and unfit for food. This was not an accidental occurrence, for the observer has seen the same won- derful performance twice since. Through the agency of what sense, he asks, did these little creatures' discover the ap- proach of their enemy? Is is possible that they and other mieroseopit animals have eyes and ears so exceedingly small that lenses of the very highest power cannot make them visible, or are they possessors of senses utterly unknown to and incapable of being appreciated by man? Science can neither affirm nor deny either of these suppositions. Most animals are slain for food• by other animals. Most of the carnivore and insectivore prefer freshly killed food to carrion. They will not touch tainted meat wlmen they can procure fresh. Hence, when they come upon their prey apparently dead, they will leave it alone and go in.search of other quarry, unless they are very hungey. Tainted substances are dangerous to let into the stomach. • Certain ptomaines render it sometimes very poisonous. Long years of experience havo taught this fact ro animals, and, therefore, most of them let dead or seemingly dead, crea- tures alone.
