The most eccentric action Of an &C.
centric man was Lord Southey's cool
arrangement for suicide by means OF
a guillotine. He had magnificent one
erected in the drawing room OF his
house in the Rue du Luxembourg at
Paris. The machine was of ebony in.
laid with gold and silver. the frame
work carved with artistic skill: the
knife, sharp as razor. was of polished
and ornamented steel. Preparing for
death, his lordship had his hair cut
close, and. clothed in robe of white
silk, he kneeled upon the platform I'M
der the knife before a mirror and
pressed the spring which should re-
lease the knife. But the spring failed
to work. and the would be suicide de-
cided to give the guillotine to mu-
scum instead Of making a second at
tempt to end his life. 1t is said that
lie made an annual pilgrimage to see
the guillotine until the end of his life.
