The Empress Eugenie's Necklace.

Worth says he once supplied the Empress
Eugene with several fancy costumes. One
was that of Juno, and another the splendid
dress of a dogaressa, or wife of the doge of
Venice For this"last named toilet she caused
to be fashioned the necklace in diamond net
work, with great imitation pear shaped pearl
suspended in each interstce of the network,
which was sold among the crown jewels, and
the fact of the pearls not being real created a
good deal of talk at the time of the sale. She
never wore this authentic and picturesque,
but cumbersome, ornament. She tried it on
several times but it always married the effect
of her costume. 1t was sold for $4,000, a
price far beyond it's intrinsic value.-Eew

GoOD-BY.

He plucked the fragrant clover blooms
Meath the warm, glowing, summer sky;
Keep these, dear heart, bid me Godspeed.
True love can never say 'good-by.'
Beloved, oh, wherefore are my fearsi
You give me strength and happiness;
Though leagues across the world Igo,
Your love will be power to bless"
Deep sorrow In her heart subdued,
A Joy intense o'erspread her face;
'Oh sweet my life is yours, " she cried,
"Foreveri" And with tenderest grace
She bowed her head upon his breast
The soft wind stirred her tresses fair,
Faith and high hope his sad soul thrills
Upon her lips he breathes a prayer:
And tr'istingy, with hands close clasped.
Mong fragrant bloom and slnlit sky.
Her eyes reflected heavens pure light
With Loves own kiss, she said "Good-by."

Sleep Produced by Hypnotism.

An interesting case of changing natu-.
raj into hypnotic sleep has been con-
tributed by the Amsterdam physician,
Dr. Renterghem, to 1.-The Tydschrift
voor Geneeskunde." Some days ago."
he writes, II travelled together in q
railway carriage with friend whom |
had cured of rheumatism by hypnotic
suggestion. He fell asleep in the cor
ner of the carriage, and passed my
hand three times over his leg exactly
as / had done when treating him by
hypnotism. Then put his arm in a
horizontal position, in which it remain
ed without movement, and whispered
to him that he must continue to sleep
till we reached our destination, when l
expected him to hand over to me the five
gulden he owed me at the dinner table,
and with a proper apology. The sleep
err nodded and promised to do every
thing he was told. AS soon as the
train stopped he awoke. and when we
were sitting at the table he handed the
money oror to me, with many apol-
ogies The case shows that by merely
passing the hand over the knee which
was formerly diseased, the patient had
fallen into that peculiar sleep which
hitherto has only been brought on by
looking fixedly at patient, by address
ing him and shutting his eyelids."
