CAUSE OF SHAKESPEARE,S DEATH.
Did the Illustrious Bard Die of Pneu-
monia?-A Plausible Theory.

Did the Illustrious Bard Die of Pneu-
monia?-A Plausible Theory.
Americans and English alike are en-
tranced with Shakespeare. They love the
man and all belonging to him. and now
they are discussing the question. "Of what
did Shakespeare die:" Following up this
inquiry writer in the New York Medical
Record communicates the theory that the
poet died of some respiratory lesion, prob
ably pneumonia. The evidence on which
this theory rests is worked out somewhat
as follows:
The age of the poet at death (ifty-two) is
connected with period of life when the
mortality from pulmonary diseases is def
nitely increased in proportion to 9th
causes His death occurred during the
month of April (the ED, which in Eng
land is a month of treacherous changes in
temperature and in weather." Some time
prior TO his death, it is urged he passed an in
terval of excessive conviviality. "and quite
likely of deep intoXication, in the compan-
ionship of conyivial friends" That means
that he placed himself in a situation from
which reckless personal exposure would
naturally arise. Here are three factors
which favor the development of pneumonia,
and the legend runs that at the last drink
lug bout he contracted fever from which
he died. "Feyers," says the writer, do
not come in this way; pneumonias do"
The writer supplements his argument
by referring to the casts from the mask of
the face taken after death, from which the
sculptor has copied the face of the great
man. The mode of death leaves something
of the character of the fatal disease on the
dead face. sudden violent death arrests
the muscles in their last contraction
From the soldiers half parted lips the oath
or battle cry seems just to have sped.
The brakeman, gone to immediate death
in crush, bears upon his face the imprint
OF his last thought-of duty, of home, or
what? The expression of lingering or
wasting disease touches the physiognomy
differently; death stands near so long that
the body becomes accustomed to his pres
ence, and he is not unwelcome At the
end his hand is often gentle, and the fea-
lures of the dead simply betoken placid
rest"
On the other hand the course of death in
pneumonia is laborious" Toward the
end the expression of the face becomes like
that of one who is toiling under burden
breathlessly and without rest. The Gloss
OF life IS the first pause from utter weari-
ness and exhaustion" and 'the character
istic pneumonia expression remains after
death" On comparing the Shakespeare
death mask with the face of the dead of his
time of life from pneumonia the identity
the author thinks can scarcely be mis-
taken. THAT which Mr. Carpenter has
described as look of ineffable sadness is |
the true pneumonia physiognomy-th |
look of one who has been tired-painfully |
tired unto death"

How to Live with Others.

The only way to make the world better
place to live in is for each individual 20
make himself better person to live with.
How to live with others is therefore the
great question for the decision of every
human being. In its answer 10 involved
the solution of the problems which vex the
social philosophers, and to enable men to
settle it is the prime object of Christianity.
If we begin with the application of the
rule TO the simplest routine of daily exist
ence the extension of it to all the rules of
life will become easier. The most trying
place in which to start is the home, the
family itself, and yet the home is the great
school of manners and for the education of
the heart. The very certainty of responsive
family affection may easily develop disre-
gard for the restraints and requirements
of the wholesome rule. 1t is using a dan
gerous license to assume that because this
affection is natural, and is tolerant, for
giving and charitable, it cannot be abused,
and that carelessness in the treatment of
others which would be intolerable and i'm
possible elsewhere is permissible and de
feasible in the circle of the family.
If in these narrower relations of the
family, of marriage and of fraternity, peo-
pie scrupulously and sensitively regard
each other, they will acquire habit which
will enable them to live with all other peo-
pie, however they may encounter them

Add a tablespoonful of salt and a table

the whole body with the warm hand until

Ordinary sweet oil or cod liver oil may
likewise be employed with good results.
The objection to the latter is the disagree

the skin, which is apt to be dry in badly
nourished infants, and certain amount is
absorbed, producing tonic effect. Some
children ara benefited by rubbing with
dry salt towel. This is produced by soak
ing an ordinary bath towel in basin of
salt and water, after which it is partially
rinsed out and hung on clothesline until
all the water has evaporated. The fine dry
salt then penetrates ali the meshes of the
towel and acts as stimulant TO the skin
In bad cases the towel may be first warmed
