Remarkable Instances of Antipathy

Amat"s Lesitanus relates the case of
monk who would faint on seeing q
rose and who never quilted his cell at
the monastery while that flower was
blooming. Orfila, a less questionable
authority, tells us of how Vincent, the
great painter, would swoon upon GO
ing suddenly into room in which
roses were blooming, even though he
did not see them Valtaid tells of an
army officer who was frequently thrown
into violent commissions by coming in
contact with the little flower known as
the pink. Orfila, our authority on the
case of Vincent, the painter above re-
lated, also tells of the case of lady
forty-six years of age, hale and hearty,
who if present when linseed was being
boiled for any purpose, would be seized
with violent fits of coughing, swelling
of the face and partial loss of reason
for the ensuing twenty-four hours.
Writing of these peculiar antipathies
and aversions, Montague remarks TINT
he has known men of undoubted cour-
age who would much rather face a
shower or cannon balls than to look Mt
an apple In Zimmerman's writings
there is an account of a lady who could
not bear to touch either silk or satin
and who would almost faint if by ac-
cident she should happen to touch the
velvety skin of peach. Boyle re-
cords the case of man who would faint
upon hearing the "swish" of broom
across the floor, and of another with
natural adherence for honey. Hippo
crates of old tells of one Nicanor who
would always swoon ut hearing the
sound of flute. Bacon, the great
Englishman, could not bear to see
lunar eclipse and always completely
collapsed upon such occasions, and
Vaughelm, the great German sports
man, who had killed hundreds of wild
boars, would faint if he but got
glimpse OF II roasted pig -Philadel-

The seeming strange suggestion is
made and strongly pressed in England
that the men who man the navy should
be taught how to swim. Ordinary
sailors are instructed and expected to
qualify in swimming, but the marines,
firemen and engineers are not, and it
is fact, declares the New York Sun.
that large portion of the latter large
body of men who serve on war ships
cannot swim. 1t is said that many
more men would have been saved from
the Victoria but for This fact also
that many sailors who were good
swimmers were undoubtedly dragged
down by the men who were not. The
matter has been taken up in Parlia-
ment, and it is probable that swim
ming will be insisted on as part of
the training of every man serving
aboard ship.

The statistics furnished by the Sec
retary of the Treasury about the i'm
portation of drugs into the United
States are somewhat startling to the
New York World 1t appears that the
Nation disposed of 1892, 437 pounds
of nux vomIca, but whether for tonical
purposes or for impaired digestion or
to kill dogs, these being among the
various uses to which the drug is put,
is a matter of conjecture The impor
tation of 2, ,6S6,677 ounces of sulphate
of quinine indicates that malaria still
racks the bones of Americans, and the
presence of 5S7, 121 pounds of opium
on the list excites suspicion about
the increase Of the morphine habit
Of ipecac--
Ipecacuanha which, for lack
or breath TO utter, men call ipecac--
the importation was small, duties hav-
ing been paid on only 3S,329 pounds

THE STARS.

What are their years? The nights unfath-
omed deep
Rings back no answer. gives no glimmer-
ing key,
And still unknown and beautiful they keep
The silent courses OF eternity.
What are their memories of creations days,
When startled chaos. from the kingdom
hurled,
First knew its master, and with glad amaze
They sang the birth song of our trembling
world2
What eyes they looked on since with patient
eye,
While million years uncounted rolled
away
Who claims antiquity of man that dies
Before such records OF the past as they?
Can they to man the mystery explain,
The why, the whence, of his uncertain
state?
Unlock the riddle that he reads in vain
And clear he tangled problem of his fate?
Can they fashion to the future give
And tell the whittier of mans anxious
quest?
Make life a less than WEAKNESS to live,
Or stay the hazard of his wild unrest?
oh, stars What midnight message do YOU
bear
To minds grown weary with the years in
crease?
The wistful eyes that watch you shining
there
Look out Of troubled hearts that know not
peace.

less had good deal to do with it on
either side. Then there have been
some indications that Russia, through
negotiations with Austria, has been
trying to put Germany in position
of commercial isolation, and this the
German rulers have resented They
have had the further political motive
of gratifying the members of the
Agrarian Party in the border prov
inces, and so making sure of needed
votes to pass the Army bill Judging
by the figures of Russo German trade,
the New York Post predicts Russian
exports are likely to suffer more than
German from the mutual application
OF maximum tariffs. Russian exports
to Germany in 1891 amounted to
about Sl14, 100000, while Germany
exported to Russia in the same year
only some S61, 900, 900.
