John Milton 'is generally supposed to have suffered from amourvosis, of which the old name was gutta serena. In the great autobiographical opeuing to Book MII of "Paradise Lost," the blind poet, apostrophizing light, plays on the Latin pathe . in well- known les : Thee 1 revisit safle, feel thy sov'reign vital lamp; thou ¢ Revisit'st not vain find thy piercing dawn ; thick a drop their orbs, Or dim suffusion According to others, among whom was his late biographer, Leslie Ste- phen, Milton's complete Toss of eye sight was due to glaucoma.

Booth's Kiiney Pills cure sick kidneys, put new strength in bad backs. Kingston cures prove it. Mrs. T. Moore, 226 Division street, Kingston, says: 'Very often 1 would be unable to stoop or lift any- thing with the dull, bearing down pains that were almost constantly in the smal of my back.

The lines seem to express alternative etwlogies. ~The darkness fell upon him soon after his com- pletion of thé "'Dofensio Populi An- glicani,"" in 1654. "Paradise Lost," th refore, was the magnum opus of a blind man. Now, though such an af- flistion as complete loss of the use of a sense might be supposed to wili- tate against the highest kind f ach'evement in art, it is a question whether in Milton's case sueh loss did not _cwhance his performance. Accord: Mahood's ing to Jenithan Richardson, who wrote when, Miltonie tradition was still quite fresh, the poet dietated his poem in shatches between 1658 and 1662--ten lines to a chance call- or, twenty lines to his daughter Anne, whom he would wake up in his grim paternal fashion to act as his aman- nensis during the hours of a sleep- less night.

Hence the Mil- | tonic harmonies, the stresses, ecaesur-| as, crowded syllables, pauses, which ! lend the poem its peculiar majesty nud charm. Blindness for once may be said to have been beneficent, when consider the wanner in which "Paradise Lost" was composed. Mil ton's insomnia deserves. a word in passing. He was a man with me- movies when he began the composi- tion of his noem at the age of fifty vears, and these with his 'gout and his active mind may well have kept him awake or awakened him in the small Hours But his regimen was a starveling ome, his dinner often con- sisting of olives. And he went to hed at nine like a man of great age, How He Got The News. George R.
