What They Lacked.

It has been said, we believe, ''that a
poet is born, not made" but even a
poetic birthright does not prevent its
owner from occasionally encountering
adverse criticism on his early efforts.
While Thomas Campbell was prosecut.
ing his studies at the University of Glas.
gov he occupied apartments with an
elder brother, who, though no poet him
self, was q most admirable critic, but
severe one.
Mr. Campbell had gone down to the
breakfast room one morning, leaving the
poet to follow at his leisure. After wait
ing for some time, he began his meal il
solitude He had nearly finished break
fast when his brother entered with a
copy of verses in his hand, which he laid
on the table as an excuse for his delay,
at the same time requesting Mr.. Camp
bells opinion of their merit. The reply
was quite characteristic of his brothers
peculiar dry humor.
Your lines are admirable, Tom, my
boy" said the elder Campbell, after calm
ly perusing the verses, "but they appear
to me to want fire." and suiting the ac-
ton to the word the merciless critic
committed the paper to the flames. The
poet barely succeeded in rescuing his eff
fusion, but after little reflection he
threw it into the fire for the second time,
acknowledging the justice of his broth

,JUGULAR VEIN SEVERED.
And the Patient is Still Living

~HN ohAohS 10 SbAAA
DETROIT, Mich, Oct. 30.-Deell
Wade, of Portland, Mich, had his
jugular vein severed in a surgical
operation here several days age.
Wade came to Harper hos
pital to have a tumOr removed
which involved the jugular vein
in the neck. The operating sur
geon made an incisiOn directly
across the tUmOr and then pro-
ceeded to separate the vein from
it. He found that the removal OF
an inch and a half of the vein was
necessary.
A few years ago the severing of a
vein meant death. With one stroke
the surgeons knife went through
the vein and it was cut again on
another place. The ends were
clamped together to prevent the
loss Of blood. The ends of the
nerve trunk were then stitched to-
gether, the cavity was sponged
with bi-chloride of mercury solu-
ton and then later the ends were
put together. Wade Is now at his
home with every prospect Of living
to good old age.

Spirit company, Of New Jersey,
says the corporation is likely to be-
come a rival of the American Sugar

adopted is the German and French
method OF refining sugar and max
