DEATH FROM FRIGHT.
Singular Instances of the Fatality Of
Nervous shock.

Singular Instanse of the Fatality Of
Nervous shock.
81 have interested myself somewhat
in looking up unusual causes of DEATH"
said DIR. Elder, land have met several
well-authenticated instances where
fright was the cause. The English
Surgeon-General Francis tells of a
drummer in India across whose legs a
harmless lizard crawled while he was
half asleep. He was sure that cobra
had bitten him, and it was too much
for his nerves and he died. Frederick l.,
of Prussia, was killed by fear. His wife
was insane, and one days he escaped
from her keepers and dabbling her
clothes in blood rushed upon her hus-
band while he was doing in his chair.
King Frederick imagined her to be the
white lady whose ghost was believed
to invariably appear whenever the
death of member of the royal family
was to occur, and he was thrown into
a fever and died in six weeks. But
perhaps the most remarkable death
from fear was that of the Dutch
painter. Pentman, who lived in the
seventeenth century. One day he
went into a room full of anatomical
subjects to sketch some deaths heads
and skeletons for picture he intended
to paint. The weather was very sui
try, and while sketching he fell asleep.
He was aroused by bones dancing
around him and the skeletons suspend
ed from the ceiling clashing together.
In fit of terror he threw himself
from the window, and, though he sus-
tanned no serious injury, and was in
formed that slight earthquake had
caused the commotion among his
ghostly surroundings, he died in a few
days in a nervous tremor. l could cite
many other cases where the shock to
the nervous system which we know as
fright has produced death. Washing

SAVED BY A KITTEN.
Only q Plain Yellow Pussy, but 1t Kept

Only q Plain Yellow Pussy, but 1t Kept
Artist Lenoir From Suicide.
In the atelier of a certain French
painter there seems to be congress of
yellow cats, or rather the same cat in
portraits innumerable. A pair of him
crown, like an armorial bearing, the
doorway; he plays with falling petals
of tea roses; he sleeps while sparrow
eyes him ashance; he sits grave as a
sphinx; even procession of him forms
the frieze of the CHI mney piece, and he
peeps between purple and golden pan
sizes on the Sevres tea service in the
corner consecrated to Madame.
Eight years ago Maurice Lenoir
dwelt in garnet, earning his bread by
copying pictures, nourishing his soul
with dreams of great classic canvas of
his own. Needless to recount the dis.
illusions, privations, rebutfs or the
nervous reactions of the days when he
received a few francs The unrelieved
pressure of poverty, the unremitting
blows of i'll luck-tap, tap, like a
PAYERS mallet-became unbearable.
The thin blood of semi starvation
mounted to his head, creating visions
of suicide.
One evening he bought poison. Re-
entering his room something brushed
past his feet. He lighted candle and
began to write few lines, merely to
save trouble at the inquest. Suddenly
there sprang upon the table a little
yellow kitten; it rubbed caressingly
against his face. Evidently waif, one
of the surplus ninefold lives of nobod VS.
cat 1t was thin d famished, its wet
fur frayed by the jaws of some dog.
Zone may be tired of life," said Maui
rice, but one does not leave a guest
hungry"
With bread and milk, all he had. he
fed the kitten: then warmed it within
the breast of his coat, where it caressed
with its tongue the hand that held it,
then purred itself to sleep.
Maurice reflected: Suicide is the
refuge of one who has no longer hopes,
ties of affection or responsibilities. In
receiving this kitten | have assumed a
duty. To place this little creature for
warmth upon my heart, and then turn
that warmth to ice would be betrayal.
A. least | will live until tomorrow.
In the morning the little cat APP
peared so pretty Maurice painted, and
was able to sell, its portrait. Another
was ordered, and another.
NJ. Lenoirs pussies became the fash
ion. He deferred his dream of classic
canvas and painted only cats, in all
postures and colors, yellow, black. white,
gray and tabby. He studied cats; he
OWNED, under their masks of drowsi-
ness or caprice, the subtle charm and
wisdom adored in old Egypt.
The yellow kitten that saved his life
also made his fortune. And NJ. Lenoir
proved not ungratefuI; the yellow cat,
now patriarch of tribe, has his cushion
and his cup in the atelior, and wears a
golden collar inscribed, TO Ny Bene-
factor. Short SsorieS
