Perhaps the most remarkable death from fear was that of tho Dutch painter, Pentman. who lived in the seventeenth century. One day he went into n room full of anatomical subjects to sketch some death heads and skeletons for a pie ture he intended to paint, The weather was very sultry. and while sketching he fell asleep. He was aroused by bones dancing around him, and the skeletons suspended from the ceiling clashed to- gcthcr.
 In q fit of horror he threw himself out of the window, and though he sustained Do serious injury and was informed that slight earthquake had caused the com motion among his ghastly surroundings he died in a few days in nervous tremor. Washington Post.

In four different localities in the vicini ty of New York city, also in several places in the city itself, people have recent. ly died from eating the poisonous toad, stools by mistake for mushrooms. Even if they had been the genuine mushroom, what would anybody want to eat them for? The mushroom itself is fungus, the product of rottenness and of the fermen. tation of decay. Though we lose forever our reputation as a connoisseur of what is what gastronomically we declare that the mushroom is not fit for a human be, ing to eat.

Some Political h,cnnnmr.

Mr. Charles W. Shields laments that the popular mind is still in tAe shackles of the old fashioned political economy, the self same principles that were taught a hundred years aSn. Social and eco homie conditions have changed so since then that a set of teachings is demand ed to meet the needs of the present, Mir Shields says. There Is enough intelh gence spread abroad among the people but not enough training in right think ing. By intelligence" Mir. Shields evt- dently means knowledge of political economy as taught in the old textbooks and elsewhere, but that Is not intelli- gence, far from it.
 He is right about the need of thinking. solid, hard headed thinking on the great economic questions. aided by such knowledge as the conditions of the pres ent can give us. MT. Shields thinks that such principles as the following should now be discussed by students: That the exports of any country will in the long run approximately balance the imports. That raising of wages Is Of permanen mt benefit to the masses unless accompanied by an increase ln The prOuOcLlOn or things Tor the masses to eat drink and wear.
 That every increase in the production of those neccssRries of life which the masses find it hard to obtain makes their command easier To some and places them within the reach of others, while every cause which has the effect of diminishing such production will compel some class to 70 with less Of them than they would otherwise enjoy.
 That the value of every industry is to be measured not by the employment il gives to labor, but by the usefulness of its product; in fact, that the employment shows the cost of the industry, not Its utility.
 That the employment of tho unemployed at the public expense would be of no permanent benefit unless the result of their labor could be sold for at least its cost.
 That there is plenty of employment for every body if men only had the wages to pay them, so that what Is called want of work really means want Of money to pay for the work.
 That the lower the wages demanded in any employment the greater the number of people who can find employment at those wages, and the higher the wages demanded the less the number.
 That prices arc determined, in tho general 1 average and the long run. by the quantity of any article produced and the demand of the i public for 1t: that any attempt 10 artiheially raise the price of any service whatever above the limit thus fixed will result in a diminished consumption, and hence in Q diminished pra- duction-tn other words, that you cannot get ] the public to accept more than n certain ouan- 1 tity of service or goods at any definite price
 That there Is no possibility of a general in- l crease in the demand for labor except by
 measures which would speedily neutraliEs
 . sueaE oNn eneets, and that attempts to pro
 mote or encourage one branch of industry by
 nAking It more necessary only result in on i eooAl olscouragement to other branches.

The essays must be all in by Jan. 1, 1891. The writers must de termine as far as may be the nature, chemically and otherwise, of this poison, the symptoms of the person affected by it, the remedy for the sickness, also the method of so treating the fish as to destroy the poison. It Is not at present known which of the large salted fish contain the deadly substance, and determining this point will be part of the task of the essayist. The competition is open to all nations, but the essays must be written in one of five languages, Russian, Latin. French, German or English.
