Princess Helena Sauguzka, who died re-
Gently in Europe, might have been empress
OF France. Napoleon III proposed to her,
but the princess, who was accounted the
most beautiful woman of her time, refused
to listen to the offer. She belonged to one
OF the oldest aud noblest families in Po-
land, and, besides being wealthy, was clev-
er and highly cultivated. All men bored
her, and she had n rooted antipathy to
married life. She died an old maid.

The police of New York have recently
been puzzled over one of the most remark
able cases OF record. David Molloy, a
young man in the employ of David Dudley
Field, the amous lawyer, went out from

staggered up to a policeman in a street of
the Bowery and wrote on a pad of paper;

money is all gone. What shall l dor"
He explained further that he had taken
one glass of beer in the Bowery, suddenly

The case has no parallel in medical annals.
A concert singer became deaf at a perform
ance one night and lost the power of speech
some weeks afterward, and a child was
frightened out of its reason at a fire and
was bereft of hearing and speech. But no
case is on record where a patient lost these
senses and yet retained memory and reason.

The month was October, and, although the
night was cool, no one accustomed to a
Canadian winter would have called 1t even
chilly. Not only that, but we had n big
fire in the open fireplace, so large a one in
fact that we had been forced to move away
from it. We all felt this cold, how ever. In
the most distinct way, and IL seemed to me
afterward, although this probably was my
imagination, that the flame became dim.
The cold did not arouse in us any idea of
the supernatural, for we all concluded 1t
was the chill Of the night.
While we were talking we heard the
sound Of footsteps In the hall. There were
no carpets and the noise was distinct, com
ing through the open door. We had reflect
ing lanterns with us, and we crowded to
the doorway 10 see Who It was that had

boys who had made up his mind TO share

the hall, with the light Of the lanterns

one there. It is beyond a question that no
woman was in sight. Yet as we looked we
heard n woman's steps coming toward us
and we heard the swish OF her dress M 1t
