PauI Yeriaine.

verlaine is the master of lyric express
sion; using every delicate means in order
to express every shadow of his sentiment,
and to excite, by harmonious sounds, the
nervous strings OF the modern. impress
sionable listener. That is why the
young ones considered him their leader
and why ne was called Symbolist. The
melodious, suggestive words, the strange,
symbolic pictures arouse in the soul Of
the reader, the impression which tie poet
wishes to give him. 81 pleure a n mon
occur. CONNIE il pleut sur la Vile" says
the poet; and the use of ~assonance and al
liberation ("pleure,, s'pleut'') gives to the
lines pleasing harmony, and to the pic
ture charm and color. To move the SEN
sitive soul of the listener by the music of
the rhyme,-such is Verlaine,s aim.
When Leconte de Lisle died. one of the
Partisan reviews asked the literati and
Barbares,' was worthy to take up the
national Tyre. The votes were all for
Verlaine. The public of the boulevards
were astonished at such artistic plebisci-
tum. The new poet laureate was so lit
tie knowni Nevertheless, many lovers of
poetry loved and admired him,-but how
many lovers of poetry are there?
Pau Verlaine died January 3, 1895, and
was buried two days later in Clichy Gene

nent literati spoke at his grave.
yerlaine never soiled himself with a
falsehood; nor did he humiliate himself
by seeking the applause of the multitude,

DREAD OF THE SUPERNATURAL
Said - BE Not as Great as the Fear
OF Death.

We wish the Psychica1 Society would
one day attempt an analysis of what, for
want of a better word, we must call the
dread of the supernatural. Both those
who believe and those who disbelieve In
the notion that the veil between this
world and the other is capable of being
lifted, agree in one thing. They all rec
ognize the fact that most people fear, or
something akin to fear, at what they be-
live to be the occurrence of supernatural
phenomena. There is here, therefore, a
piece of ground which may be explored
without any beginning of the question as
to whether the fear is caused by real
ghosts or by trickery, by rats and water
pipes, or by genuine glimpses of the peo-
pie of another world. One would like to
know whether the fear felt is akin to that
experienced when a man is frightened by
a runaway horse, or a fire, or any other
imminent risk of life, or whether it is
something different in kind.
Speaking broadly, and without any
minute consideration of the facts, one
would say that ghost fright did differ in
kind from the fright which comes from
active danger. Most people have, we
lives experienced that eerie, uncanny,
creepy feeling which is associated with
the possibility of contact with the super
IldluIdl. Let lew WOulQ uGC1dIS ludl 4
was in any sense connected, with the
dread of loss of life or limb. The man or
woman who wakes up in the middle of
thumps, raps, clangs and creakings-or
sees lights or feels the touch of unseen
hands, is probably very frightened, but
the sense Of bodily fear is not present.
There is no dread OF being killed.
People in the agony of terror caused by
dangerous accidents constantly call out
that they are going to be killed, but we
doubt If that is ever the case in the fright
that the dread of the supernatural is not
nearly so acute as that caused by the inn
minent risk of death. People, 1t nay be
argued, only imagine themselves to be
frightened of ghosts. as women pretend
to be frightened of mice. In neither case
is the fright quite genuine. 1t is only
want of s~elf-control, and could be mas
tered In an instant If the will power were
in proper order.
Unfortunately for those who argue thus,
there Is plenty of evidence to show that
occasionally the dread of the supernatural
produces very serious results. On the
whole, we should say that more people
had been frightened out of their wits by
what they believed to be supernatural
phenomena than by accidents, involving
great risk of life. 1t is not often that
hears of insanity caused even by the
prolonged agony of shipwreek. The fear
caused by what is supposed to be a SUI
Eernatural agency seems, then. to have In
It some element not found in ordinary
fear. If n when the haunting phen-
omena cause fear they seem to give a
shock of special keenness.-Londoh Spec
