Objects of Aversion
Hard to Understand

Even fruit and flowers have affected
people curiously. The secretary OF
Francis l used to stop his nostrils
with bread if he saw a dish of apples
to prevent an otherwise inevitable
bleeding at the nose. A king of Pc
land had an antipathy both to the
smell and sight Of this wholesome
fruit, and a family of Aquitaine had a
hereditary hatred of 1t. Gretry, the
composer, could not endure the scent
Of the rose; neither could Anne of
Austria. The mere sight of the rose
was too much for Lady Heneage, bed
chamber woman to Queen Elizabeth;
indeed, Kenelm Digby records that
her cheek became blistered when some
one laid q white rose upon it as she
slept. A violet was thing OF horror
to the Princess de Lamballe, while
tansy was amobinable to an earl OF
Barrymore, and Scaliger grew pale be-
fore watercress.
The harmless cat has frequently
been an object Of aversion. Henry III
of France had so great dislike to
cats that he tainted at sight Of one,
and 1t was said of the duke Of Schom-
berg, as 1t was said of another IA
nous soldier of our time, that he
could not sit in the same room with
q cat.-John o London's Weekly.
