The Vampire.

Rudyard Kipling's latest poem written
on Philip Burne-J Jones' painting, 1.-THE
Vampire" now on exhibition in London
The painting. according to the Chicago
Times Herald, is an odd and an original
representation of the medieval folklore
tradition Of the ghost or smulacra which
returns from the grave to suck the life
blood out of living men. The vampire
may be the soul of man or woman and
It's purpose is draining the vitality of earth
ly persons is to nourish the decaying
corpse in its cerements. Burne-Jones rem
resents the vampire as a most beautiful
woman. She is bending over the form.
of dying man lying in bed, with a great
red spot upon his breast from which the
last of his life's blood is oozing. The paint
er'S conception of the vampire is new. as
popular superstition ever attached to the
death-dealing ghost an aspect of horror,
and old prints extant are by no means as
pretty as the work of the son of the ia
nous painter. Mr.. Kipling takes another
view of the matter and his poem is the
practical conclusions to be drawn from the
painting by his cousin. He interprets the
female to be heartless creature who to-
tally lacks appreciation of her lovers af-
lection, and after taking most of his life
leaves him dying with never regret. The
painting fascinates and horrifies almost all
who see it, while the poem horrifes with
out faScinating).
