“Dear Ellen, I scribble one hasty line just to say that after a pleas- ant enough Journey we have got safely to Conway; the evening ls wet and wild, though the day was fair chiefly with some gleam: of sunshine." So wrote Charlotte Bronte the night after her wed- ding. Of course the evening was wetnndwild. How could it be otherwise on such a notable Bronte occasion? The letter, together with a lock oi Charlotte's hair and l. pair of minute slippers, are in the possession of Mr. W. T. Spencer, the famous bookseller of New Ox- ford street,

He has another letter, too, in which Charlotte shows great con- cern about a bonnet which is be- ing altered to suit her. But the most‘ personal ofthc Bronte ielics is a hook, a finger long, in which as a. child Charlotte translated, Voitalreb "Henriade." All the op- portunities withheld from her, all the energy and pain of great pro- jects are cramped into these iiar- row pages. Paper was a luxury and Voltaire not a young lady's author, but somehow she obtained them both. ‘

A happier woman than Charlotte Bronte and less in stature, Eliza- beth Barrett, has left something o! herself in this London bookshop. Writing to her dear Miss Mitford, she describes Tennysonb descent on the Browning household:

“He dined with us, smoked with us, opened his heart to us (and the second bottle of port) and ended by reading ‘Maud’ through from end to cnd and going away at half-past two ln,the morning.

WHY S0 MANY DIABEHCS DESPITE INSULIN

"With insulin it is possible to raise diabetic children who former- ly were doomed to die-to prepare them thoroughly for an occupation and to make them worthy heads of families."

This is the statement of Prof. Umber of Berlin, where there are 8000 cases of diabetes. A

He finds that severe illness, tuberculosis, and surgical oper- ations are withstood by diabetic patients, properly treated with in- sulin Just as well as by healthy persons.

If insulin can save the lives of children afflicted with diabetis, and can keep alive adults despite the damage already done to ‘the pan- creatic gland, why is it that so many people still die of diabetes? ‘The reason is that. many are un- willing to follow the diet rules and also use insulin in t_he manner pre- scribed. Dr. Elliot P. Joslin, Boston. says there are three to four times as many diabetics now as there were fifteen years ago due to the newer knowledge of diet, upon in- sulin, and the dependence of these two on exercise, which have great- ly prolonged the life of the diabetic. Unfortunately the diabetic pat- ient is still compelled to inject the insulin he requires. Insulin by the mouth has practically no effect. Most of these patients learn to use the hypodermic needle properly and have no trouble from its use. It is now possible for those un- able to pay for insulin to receive it frce from the province, state, or city. so that no diabetic patient need die from lack of it.

-potatces, bread and suBBr-thllt must be eaten in small quantities by the diabetidand as Prof. Umber

from 40.6 in June to 41.8 in July. Canadian farmers have suffered long from low prices. When encour- agement comes back to them their course in buying what city indust- rial plants have to scfl will induce a new sense of confidence and busin-

polnts out, this makes the increas- ed need or use of vegetables, fat, and moat, somewhat expensive.

The point to remember then’ is that there are more diabetics be- cause lives have been prolonged and there are naturaflly more deaths because of this increased number of cases. The number of cases has in- creased about fourfold over the

Each visitor to the shop makes straight for the thing that inter- ests him. Lewis Carroil, whose real name was the Rev. C. L. Dodgson, was fascinated by a. collection of old puzzles stored In a corner, and, whenever he wrote to Mr. Spencer afterwards, drew a riddle in dia- gram in the corner of the page. Sir Henry Irving often came to look for old editions of Shakespeare, and among souvenirs of him are the dagger he used as Hamlet and Shylocks knife. Lady Tree wanted help in making her Trollope fl- lection. Lord Roscbery specialized in drawings and prints of Eton, his old school, and his daughter, Lady Sybil, came in search of old draw- ings of parachutes. Lord Curzon bought views of India and carica- tures of Napoleon, and Dr. Tru- man, Queen Victoria's dentist, came for more and yct more Cruikshank drawings.

Swinburne, a. tragic, Victorian, whose very words had lost mean- ing for him, just as Wilde's emu. tions had lost theirs and had be- come mere sounds unrelated to anything a man may touch or think, came often to New Oxford street. In his velvet cape, with his red hair on end, he would stoim up the shop shrieking complaints against the landlady who had dared to wake him before mid-day.
