by the doctor who accompanied me, and
there came to the most terrible corner
of this floating laZaretto. Sixteen SOL
diers were on the point of death. Here
dead body lay on its back, one eye
wide open, the other almost shut, while
the bottom of the face was covered with
a thick foam. There was another young
soldier, eaten up by consumption,
stretched beside the corpse. He was
looking at it quietly with a certain
stoical calm, and he lay without move
ment as if he already belonged to the
kingdom of shadows.
Another soldier, on the contrary.
whose lower jaw had been carried away
by a bullet, was hiding his face in the
sheets so that he might not see the
dead man. But, in spite OF his terror.
and as if moved by an irresistible force,
he would now and then draw aside his
covering, slightly raise his head and
look sideways at his dead comrade; his
face took on a look of horror which |
cannot describe, and then he would
hide himself again under the coverlet.
The others paid no attention to the
dead man. The extent of their suffer

Queen Louise of Denmark, as all the
world now knows. had been i'll for a
long time before her death. Often, dur
ing the past few years, her health be-
ing completely broken, she had been
subject to attacks from which her re-
covery was always despaired of. The
last of these before her final taking off
occurred in Copenhagen ten months
ago. 1t was sudden and violent. The
queens physician was called and came
at once, but. according to the story as
it is now told, at first declared that he
could do nothing. Am | really dying,
then?" asked the queen, looking up
from the sofa upon which she had been
placed. 81 fear your majesty must ex-
pect the worst replied the medical

LAUGHING IS DANGEROUS.
Now We Are Told by European Physi-
clans That Il May Bring on
Heart Disease.

The anclents wC-s i,Iu OF insisting
that laughter might kill. They always
had case in point, and in this instance
Philemon, the comic poet, was the hero
or rather the patient-according to
Nalerius MaXimus and Lucian.
1t is Rabelais, however, who has i'm
mortalized Philemon. whom he wrong
ly calls Philomenes. The poet, he SAYS,
found a jackass eating up the figs on
his dinner table. so he said to his serv-
ant who came in with the wine that lie
might as well give the ass drink.
Then the poet laughed so violently that
his breath failed him and he died. 1t
must be added that the poet was then
95 years old.
From this suspicious though amusing
legend we can pass to clinical facts
which it suggests. laughter in Itself
cannot very well kill, but it may do
harm. Hysterical girls and boys with
kindred nervous affections are often
given to immoderate laughter, which
tends to increase nervous exhaustion.
DR.. Feilchenfeld relates an instructive
case in which little girl suffered from
very definite cardiac symptoms after
immoderate laughter. The patient was
l3 years Old and had previously been
free from any sign of heart disease.
After laughing on and off for nearly
an hour with some companions she
suddenly felt stabbing pains in the
chest and was seized with fits of cough
ing, followed by cardiac dyspnoea. very
well marked.
Feilchenfeld believes that the car
diac disease directly resulted from i'm
moderate laughing. LA joie fait peur,"
they say in France. Let laughter-lov-
ing girlhood remember that JOY may
also make heart disease. Older per-
sons do not seem subject to this form

Many New Grasses.

Many readers may be surprised to
learn that large areas of land in the
southern states that formally seemed
to be untitled for vegetation have, with
in the past ten years. been covered with
an abundance of grasses, which now
give support to herds of sheep, cattle
and swine These grasses have been de-
veloped by the department of agricul-
ture, which has a grass farm at Knox
vile, Tenn, where more than $50 kinds
of grasses are being cultivated for the
benefit Of farmers, TO whom they have
been heretofore unknown. Some of
these grasses come from abroad. but
large number have been obtained from
the prairies of the west and the Rocky
mountain regions. Cattle raising and
farming in the south have been greatly
advanced by this cultivation and intro
duction of new grasses.-Youth's Com
