The Camuh0r Eater.

1t is surprising what a number OF
camphor eaters there are among the
we'll to do classes. The idea seems to
prevail that this gum. taken in small
and regular doses. gives a peculiarly
clear GREATNESS of complexion. and
scores of young women buy it for this
purpose. The habit is. moreover. very
difficult to cast off. for camphor pro-
duces a mild form of eXhilaratiOn and
stupefaction. and in many instances
where very large doses have been swal-
lowed the habit has become a sort Of
slavery.
These camphor eaters all have a
dreamy. dazed and very ~listless air,
and in most of them there is an ever
present longing to sleep or at least to
rest. Extreme weakness generally fol-
lows the taking Of regular doses. and |
have seen cases where it has been al
most difficult to tell the effects from
those of alcohol. AS to the complexion,
If IL CHASTITY pallor be an improvement
camphor certainly produces it.-Clinic.

Hearing a Fly Walk.

As the fly glides rapidly over a smooth
surface every step presses out a supply
OF gum strong enough to give him a
sure footing and to sustain him in safe

that that upon n of his six feet is
quite sufficient to sustain the weight of
his whole body. But If he stands still
the gum may dry up and harden quick
~ and SO securely fasten the travellers

leg itself.
II you wish to hearsa fly walk. you
can do 1t without the aid Of the nuga-

hear a harsh. rasping sound. made by
the contact OF the insects feet with

The Act of Dying.

The popular idea that the act Of dying
Is a painful process often causes a fear
OF death. But dsHth from even the
most painful mortal diseases is usually
preceded by a period of cessation from
suffering and partial or complete insen-
sibility resembling falling asleep or the
pleasant gradual Inconsistencies caus-
ed by an annsthetic.
The common phrase death agony" ia
not warranted by what occurs in natu-
raj death, which is a complete relief
from all pain. When death is owing to
heart failure or syncope, it is sudden
ana painless-perhaps pleasant. Death
by hanging, there is reason to believe.
Is attended by a voluptuous spasm.
Death by decapitation or electricity is
only a momentary shock, hardly felt.
Death by poisoning varies in painful
ness according to the poison EMPLOYED.
opium and other narcotics probably
give a painless, perhaps a pleasant.

from the account of the death of So

Prophet Hicks says Of May weather.
The moon is at apogee on the End and
full on the Srd, on and touching
which days very marked barometric
fluctuations will appear, ending in
vernal storms OF much energy. A
rapid rise Of the barometer, with cool
west winds and frost northward, will
follow these reactionary storms,
spreading eastward and southwark
before the appearance Of the storm
conditions due on the 9Th to the 9Th.
Look for some very active storms OIL
rain, wind and thunder from 9Th to
9th. Dangerous storms are possible
but II they appear in any locality they
will be preceded by high temperature
east to south winds, sultriness and
low barometer, the last named indica
ton being by all odds the most i'm
portant and reliable. Another change
to rising barometer, west winds ant
very cool nights will follow the Storm
OF this period.
