The impression when hunting paddy

with the dim, mysterious light Of the
'bush, and the strange appearance and
swiftmovement Of the game. Paddymel-

are concerned, which, being largely Of

Dhukespeare's knowledge OF Insomnia.
Touching upon the question Of insoin.
mia, DR.. Charcot, the great specialist
made a remark which was not only in
teresting in itself, but which proved his
thorough acquaintance with the works
Of England's greatest dramatist. ut is
curious to note" he remarked, show
feelingly Shakespeare dwells on the
question of sleep, not only in the famous
passage of Macbeth beginning, Mac
beth hath murdered Sleep but in many
other places in his plays. made at one
time collection of fifty quotations
from his works on that subject. So
am inclined to think that he suffered
from insomnia.
REMARKED that perhaps the death of
the great poet when so few years past
middle age might have been caused by
the vast mental strain consequent on the
production Of his marvellous works, and
in that case insomnia would certainly
have formed one Of the symptoms Of his
condition. "Great genius" remarked
the doctor, sis almost invariably the
offshoot OF i'll health, either mental or
physical" "That was hardly the case, "
| responded. with Victor Hugo, who
lived to be past eighty and was always
as sturdy as an oak "But you forget,
madam, that he came of u family Of
maniacs," was the response "His
brother died insane and his daughter is
the inmate of an asylum forlunatics. ~

WHITENING SWALLOWS.

In and out and under the caves,
Blown about like the falling leaves,
Twittering swallows spend the season.
Now the days are shorter and chill,
There come from manyu musical BIZ
Notes of instinct that sound like reason.
Well have they dined On bug and nudge.
Now they are perched uDon the ridge
OF the old barn, that's warped and hoary-
There they sit, bright birds of q feather.
Holding twitter-talk all together.
Zach telling an after dinner story.
They will follow the summer bland;
To them no land Is foreign land.
One exclaimed, with joyous filter
"True cosmopolitans are we,
Home Is whore we happen to be.
And swallows understand our twitter."
Then, in soft notes scarce could catch

OF a cottage where waves the willow.
Another shook his velvet head.
And with his noisy neighbors plead
10 fly with him DER field and biilow.
They talked about all sorts Of things;
Sharpened their bills and preened their wings
Then away, away, the tourists started.
Sailing over river and main.
VIII they ever return pVain
To the old home from which they We parted

Unburdened, free of debt and care,
