borrowing Habits Of Poets.

On Tennysons habit of falling to
recognize clearly his own borrowings
from the classical poets, Mr.. Lang OBJ
serves that the poets have always had
a kind of regal Indifference to their
own lighter productions. Mr.. Lang
says: Scott did not care; no, not when
he found that he had unwlttingly taken
line from d poem by the valet of n
friend. In the preface to n little col
lection of verses from the novels he
frankly declares that he cannot pretend
to be certain which are of his own com
position and which are not.
"To take an example from the level
at the foot OF Pnrnassus, ! once read,
In an American paper some lines at

Greek aud Roman stoves.

Warm as Greece and Rome and
Egypt are, stoves were made there In
the dim and misty vlstns OF the past.
1t was not just the pattern used ut
present, but was n metal basin in
which charcoal was burned. 1t sat In
the middle OF the room, and as the re-
sulting smoke was of the slightest no
opening In the roof or elsewhere was
necessary. Tie same implement, stlll
called by It's old Greek name of bra
zier. is now employed In many portions
of continental Europe, where It Is util-
lied for heating as well as cooking.
But the progressive Romans I'm.

OF the old Roman villas In England the
remains of these old time furnaces are

Poison BY Absorption.

The slow absorption of many poisons
changes in some more or less modified
form the complexion, but arsenic and
ammonia show their effect about as
quickly as any. The popular belief
that arsenic clears the complexion has
led many silly women to kill them
selves with 1t in small, continued
doses.
1t produces waxy, ivorylike appear
ancc of the skin during a certain stage
Of the poisoning. but It's terrible after
effects have become too well known to
make it of common use as cosmetic.
The effects of ammonia upon the
complexion are directly opposite from
that of arsenic. The first symptoms of
ammonia poisoning which appears
among those who work in ammonia
factories is a discoloraton of the skin
OF the nose and forehead. This gradu-
ally extends over the face until the
complexion has stained, blotched and
unsightly appearance. With people
who take ammonia into their systems
in small doses, as with their water
and food, these striking symptoms do
not appear so soon. The only effect OF
the poison that is visible for time is
n general unwholesomoness and sal
lowness of the complexion.
