of the forage which was on deck was

smashed and the steamer rolled ire

although the officers made every effort
to bring her about.
The mules were hurled from side to

Coppee,s UnpIayed PLAY.

1t was some 25 years after the Com
mune had reigned in France that Fran
co.'s Coppee suffered the greatest disap-
pointment of his life. His play, called
THE Pater," was submitted to the
readers for the Coincide Franchise, and
accepted; it had successfully passed
through the various ordeals through
which play must go before it finally
appears at the famous theater, and the
preparation for its production had
been completed, even to the final re-
heansals of the artists, when the gov
eminent interfered and interdicted it.
The French were still so sensitive on
the subject of the Commune that the
authorities refused to allow the pro-
duction of play dealing with an incl
dent of that time. The managers of the
theater were enraged, the artists in de-
SPAR, and everyone was in panic over
the affair except Coppee, who admi TIED
that he was thunderstruck, and that
the failure to have his play produced at
the Coincide Franchise dashed one of
the ambitions of his life. He assumed
a disdainful air, however, was sarcastic
at the expense of government that
was afraid of One-act drama, and an
nounced that if the minister, by whose
order the play was forbidden, expected
that the author would plead for re
version of the verdict, he had made the
greatest mistake of his life.-Detroit

The above, which records an event in
the year 1862, is taken from the seventh
series of "Notes and Queries" II, 446,
and from the same place we gather that
similar complaint was prevalent in
England in 1888. The symptoms are
not unlike those of the epidemic of 1891,
and the complaint seems very similar
to the influenza or 'la grippe" raging to-
day.
The word influenza appears in ''The
Lame Lover" by Foote, date ITO. The
complaint was common also in the year
1882 and was the cause of some rhym-
ster having a spasm of the divine af-
fatus:
