In his book on Swinburne, Edmund
Gosse asserts that the poet was more
ike fairy than a man. He relates
the following anecdote in this connec-
ton. though the Swinburne described
does not accord with the common con-
ception Of fairy: Miss Alice Bird
recollects Swinburne arriving at her
brothers house with the first proofs
of Songs Before Sunrise in his pocket,
and little later in the evening his
dancing about the room convulsed with
passion while he half read, half re-
cited them to her brother and herself.
In particular those in which Napoleon
III was denounced he repeated with
such violence, and, as she puts 1t anus
ingly to me, with such poison that
his voice sounded like the kissing Of
'serpents, while he jigged about the
room, his hair flying out behind him
and his arms Tapping and fluttering at
his sides. At these times, when he was
TRANSPORTED by excitement, his won
derful head looked like that Of young
god, II only the weak mouth and the
receding chin could be ignored. d.
rectly the storm Of melody was over.
and the poem put away. Algernon
would sink down on a sofa with the
gentleness Of child, and his voice
would Immediately resume its rich,
soft cadences."

The Zion City snakes, Of which

TRAILING Clouds Of Glory.

Childhood is q stage In the process
of that continual remanufacture Of the
life stuff by which the human race Is
perpetuated. People with no i'm
agination try to make things which will
last forever, and even want to live for
ever themselves. But the intelligently
imaginative man knows very well that
1t Is waste of labor to make machine
that will last ten years, because 1t will
probably be superseded In half that
time by an improved machine answer
ing the same purpose. d. With all
living q thousand million cons and
forever after, we die voluntarily, know
ing that 1t Is time for us to be scrap
ped, to be manufactured, to come
back, as Wordsworth OWNED, trailing
ever Frightening clouds Of glory. We
must all be born again, and yet again
and again.-G. Bernard Shaw.

and the captain afterwards took him

chief subsequently disappeared mystic

to wade through part Of the river

uniform was found In the interior Of
one. The head Of the alligator was
