KNEW LITTLE ABOUT POIS0NS
Shakespeare's knowledge of Drugc
Appears to Have Been an Ex-
tremely Limited One.

The poisons mentioned in Shake
speare's works have been made the
subject of a study by Doctor Cartaz, the
eminent French physician. 1t appears
therefrom that the extensive medical
knowledge which Shakespeare is sup
posed to have possessed. and which
has been advanced by the Bacon the
orists as proof in support of their
contention was no more extensive than
that of ShakeSpeare's contemporaries
who, it further appears. labored under
the same msapprehensions as he re-
garding the potency Of certain philtres
and poisons.
When, for instance, the ghost of
Hamlets father says that Claudius
poured the juice of cursed hebenon
thenbane) into the porches OF his
ears, it should be pointed out that
this juice could not possibly penetrate
the drum of the ear. But the belief in
the deadliness of poison thus intro
duced into the system was so general
at the time that Ambrose Pare was
accused OF killing in this manner King
Francis | of France, although it is
now certain that the king died OF men
ingitis caused by inflammation Of the
internal ear.
Then, again. when Friar Laurence,
in Romeo and Juliet gives Juliet
the potion that shall make the body
stiff, stark and cold, appear like
DEATH" it can only have been, Doctor
Cartaz considers. Datura stramonium
(thorn APPLE, or mandragora root.
The latter enjoyed. during the renais-
sance, a great vogue, but experiments
have shown that the awakening from
it's effects is accompanied by violent
nausea, SO that Juliet would have met
her lover in Il far from poctical condi-
ton.
Moreover, in this relation, the
French physician points out, the dura.
ton of sleep induced by narcotics
never approaches IL hours.

Feared for GRANDPA.

Walter, aged three, was taken by
his grandfather to see great factory.
AS they were finishing their tour of
inspection his grandfather happened
to notice that it was within a few
minutes of noon. Taking out his
watch, he said:
Now, Walter, keep your eyes on
the hands of my watch and when both
of them point straight to the top
something will happen"
Walter watched eagerly and just at
the minute that the hands came to-
gether the great factory whistle
sounded a deafenlng blast
Walters eyes danced for an instant,
and then an awful fear overlook him.

Why Depiore Ace In Humanity?

In nature, much as we rejoice In
new births and tender adolcscences,
our deepest sentiment is reserved for
the things which impress us with their
antiquity. We have woven about them
n phraseology all their own. We like
to talk about the hoary ocean; the
gray old rocks against which its spray
is dashed; the mountains which still
stand where they stood when man
first opened his eyes upon the uni
verse; the forest primeval; our pris-
tine mother earth. These and a thou
sand other poetic figures familiar to
us from childhood show by the respon-
sive echo they never fail to awaken
in our hearts, how ready mankind is
to treat plentitude Of years as a
synonym for steadfastness, the one
quality which lies at the foundation of
all confidence and real respect. And
when we find that among inanimate
things old age, so far from being re-
pellent, eXerts a positive attraction
why are we so prone to deplore 1t as
soon as 1t threatens to touch our
selves?
