lots of consolation in the preliminary

a wing is to be seen on the new spring

CLASSY eyed little sOngsters and huge
plumes. The giddiest models from

Effects of a Rec STING

An English physician relates an in
stance of a lady who was stung by a
bee. At the first moment she seemed to
pay very little attention to it, but very
soon her face became flushed and spots
appeared all over her body. Suddenly
she developed a most severe attack of
asthma, finding great difficulty in
breathing. Another instance is that of
young lady who was stung on the
back of her head by an ordinary honey
bee. In less than five minutes her face
began to swell, and very marked red
and white spots appeared all over the
surface of the body. The swelling ex-
tended over the entire person, accompa-
MED by severe pain, burning and giddi-
ness. The eyes were almost closed and
the countenance was so distorted as to
be unrecognizable. Very free bathing
III soda water, with little soda taken
internally, end hot applications to the
feet and thorough massage finally afford
ed relief, but it was some hours before
the patient recovered from what was
truly an alarming condition. Violent
attacks Of nervousness accompanied the
trouble, and the sense of suffocation
was almost intolerable. The young wo-
man had been stung a number of times
before without any apparent unpleasant
result The physicians were of the opfn-
ion that the bee had been feeding upon
some extremely poisonous plant, which
became concentrated in the venom of
the sting. Be that as it may, the condi-
tlon was such as to excite grave appre-
hension, the more so as it was several
days before recovery was complete.

HE LOVED THE SEA.
Tennyson Used to Study 1t From tn
Downs of the Isle of Wight.

TennysOn Used to Study 1t From the
Downs of the Isle of Wight.
Tennyson said, Somehow water is
the element love best of all four, " but
in the recent memoir he is also credited
with saying that he "never cared great
ly for the sea on the south coast. 1t is
not grand sea, only an angry, curt sea. "
Probably that was view expressed
before he became familiar with the To-
cality, for though the Atlantic does not
plunge against the isle of Wight as
against Cornwall and the west of Ire
land he himself has proved how much
power and enchantment the sea reveals
from the downs. Let the weather be
fair or foul, nature is never dull from
the vantage ground of those oonvexities
which seem like the rind of the earth
and give an illusion of vastness and
openness beyond their actual area. Men
striding on ridges and etched against
the sky indeed seem ''as trees walking"
The wind rustling i'll the ear, the sheep
bleating, the sea churning among the
bOwlders, the occasional believing of a
steamer for a pilot, the swallows crying
in their low flights and the gulls scream

mist closes over the scene, a strange
sense of being disembodied possesses us,
we are lost i'll the impenetrable vapOr,
and the gulls pass over our heads, Wis
ible but for an instant as they float from
Obscurity into Obscurity. In times of
storm one seems to be at the seat of the
elements and witness to all their
processes. The clouds roll and break
against the cliffs like another sea, and
sunbursts flashing from them leave
silver swath over the VeXed and SON.

spout, whirling like a dervish, is no un-
common sight, and he who makes the
downs his observatory becomes wise IN
all the phenomena Of sea and air. Climb
ing them at night gives one the feeling
of scaling the walls of heaven itself.
They slope like the sides of a pyramid,
and the apex of the pyramid impales

green that can be thought of, even Ito

Trying a Dead Man.

1t is probably an unusual thing in
any country for a court to sit in iudg

to the Chicago Record an account is
given of trial in which the accused

taken place in his lifetime, and its re-
suit had been a sentence of imprison-

that he had embezzled funds and forged
documents. Soon after his sentence,
however, he showed signs of unsettled
reason, and at length died a maniac.

ory from the stain that rested upon it,
had the case reopened and proved by
expert testimony that her husband had
been demented at the time he commit.

Thus occurred the peculiar circum-

resulted in the reversal of the former
sentence, the court pronouncing the de.
