One OF the most estimable women in a
London suburb is subject to sudden faints
and Mysteries and confidently expects some
day to die during one of them. Several days
ago while sitting at her front window en-
gagged in some light uoedlewOrk cOnversing
with a neighbor, she felt one Of the spells
coming over her She called to her friend
to summon Dr. -- and then fan her. The
friend went for the family doctor, and in a
short time he was at the house Meanwhile
the sufferer was sure she was dying.
"Oh, Mrs. -," she sobbed Historically,
II know am going this time Pm dying
now; I'm dying. Goodby, Mrs. --."
The doctor at once began the application
OF the usual restOratives, but they seemed
of no avail. The sufferer appeared to be
gradually losing her breath, and the doctor
believed she was expiring He tore away
the ruching about her neck and called tc
Ler friend

We must enliven her circulation somehow.
The doctor got her neck free enough but
when the friend lifted one foot to remove
the shoe, the sufferer kicked her friends
hands with the other foot. The doctor did
not notice this, but thinking the friend
could not perhaps undo the buttons b,

was determined.

Raising herself with a powerful effort
the patient, pale as death itself, gasped
"Please don't take off my shoes, doctor

The effort seemed to bring back the life
to the sufferer, and in half an hour she was
as well as ever with new pair Of stock
ings on, fully ready for the next faint. -

The Fiy-Eating FLINT.

One species of the Drosea has its leave,
rounded, while the other has them
elongated, but both alike have the n re l.
dish in color and covered with short
hairs or I'll, uents. At the end of cac lof
these hairs there is an enlarged gland,
which secretes tiny drop of what az
pears to be harmless dew. Harmless,
however, the liquid is not, for to most
insects, especially all flies, the Drosea
is a most insidiously baited trap. The
liquid is in reality sweet, sticky sue.
stance, and if the very smallest fly does
but touch It ever so ligltly it sticks there
and dies. The manner in which the
plant afterward actually digests the bod
les of the flies it entraps is interesting in
the ex.reme.
Within short time of the capture of
fly $50 excessively sensitive are the
glands all the tilaments growing aroluI
the one which has made the capture
com nence to bend inward, GOVERN the
luckless insect until it is securely within
the grasp of the relentless plant. Eich
gland then pours out upon the body
digestive liquid, not altogether unlike
the gastric juice OF auimsls, and in the
course of day or two the lily is CO u.
pletely diges:e1, the nutritive parts have
been wholly ABSORBED by the plant, aud
the tilaments have bent back to their
original position, really to make another
capture upon the first opportunity.
II, however, the substance caught by
the leaf is of an indigestibe nature, such
as grain of sand or piece of stick
blown by the wind on to the glands,
the leaf does not remain closed more
than few hours. The number of insects
thus caught must be very great The
plants themselves are very abundant in
most upland boys; EACH plant has FIVE or
six leaves, and as many as thirteea deaf
flies have been found on single leaf.
Curiously enough, Darwin. whose re-
searches into the subject were OF a most
exhaustive and interesting nature, found
that the leaves on his plants were killed
when he gave them surfeit of cheese
aud raw meat. The excessively seusi-
tive nature of the glaads almost sur
passes conception. Darwin found that
the absorption of only the one twenty
mtllionth par: OF grain OF phosphate OF
ammonia or thereof nut was sufficient to
cause the hlsment bearing the gland to
