Romans Marriage.

Mime. Ernest Rcnan, the widow of the
famous philosopher and historian, was the
niece of tho painter AIRY Scheffcr and tho
daughter of the less we'll known Henri
Schcffer. An interesting anecdotc is told
in connection with Ernest Remains mar
riagc. When he announced his intention
of marrying Mile. CoInclie Schctfcr, his
sister Hcnricttc who was devoted to him
and of whom he was passionatcly fond,
declared she would never put her foot in
side her brothers house if another woman
entered it. After hcsitating for some time
Rcnan mt length determined to sacrifice
his bctrothcd for his sisters sake and told
Cornclic Schcffer how matters stood, and
that nc must give her up. However, Hen.
riettc Renan, on hearing of the sacrifice
her brother had made Immediately went
to see Cornclie. The two rivals made up
the quarrel, the wedding took place, and
Henrictte and Cornclie Renan were ever
after tho most attached of friends The
marriage was celebrated in 1856, and the
sister lived with the young couple until
her death, which occurred four years later
Rcnan wrote Il charming pamphlet in
scribcd to her memory, in which he gave
delightful account of their journey to
Syria, where llcnricttc died. The pam
phlet, printed for private circulation, is

The Properties of Cocaine.

Travellers in Peru and countries where
coca grows chew the leaves of this plant
for the purpose of ailaying the sense of
hunger and the feeling of exhaustion that
accompanies it, AT first the leaves were
thought to possess food elements, but now
1t Is known that the cocaine they contain
merely allays the rritability of the nerves
that produce the sense of hunger
Cocaine is an alkaloid made from the
coca leaf, which has the effect of complete
ly destroying the sensibility of nerves.
The discovery of this active principle of
the coca leaf explained fully and satisfac-
torily the effect produced by chewing the
leaves. An infusion of the leaf might he
used with good results in allaying tho
gnawing appetite that follows some forms
OF fever, or in cases where the sense of
hunger Is due to diseased condition of
the stomach.
Cocaine should never be used except
on the prescription of Trustworthy physi-
clan, because t is dangerous The cocaine
habit is more readily formed than either
the morphine or liquor habit and is far
more rapid in its work of destruction. -

Sleeping to Death.

One of the most curious and fatal dis
eases on record is termed "thc sleeping
sickness OF West Africa" The maladv has
never been known to attack any one cx-
cept negroes. AS the disease progresses
the victim sleeps constantly and finally
dies from starvation. The first symptoms
arc shown when the victim gradually gives
way to feeling of listlcssncss, which be-
comes at last profound and lcthargic
sleep, the first noticeable signs OF which
are visible and persistent dropping of
the cycids in the daytime and while at
work. In spite of all efforts to arouse
him the patient lapscs into slumbcr The
periods OF sleep increase in number and
the intervals between them lessen. soon
the negro appears to he always aslcep.
Death occurs at tho end OF from six 10
twelve months. Exchange.
