REINCARNATED.

A woman died in Paris the other week' who professed to have recollected a former existence. Mme. Laure Eaynand was .a hospital, nurse, and some years ago she told a* .doctor that she had once lived in a foreign town and had died at the age of nineteen years in 1840. She described the town and the house she had occupied, though she had never . out of France. The. doctor thought the town might be Siena, in Italy, arid without telling her where she was going he took her to that town. When she arrived there she-walked straight to the house she had described, and then to a church, where she fell fainting on the tomb of a girl who had died in 1840. at. the age of nineteen. The incident was the subject of a great deal of discussion at the time, and the nurse naturally was accused of fraud. But she stuck to her story and. the people who knew her best seem to have been convinced she had rievfcr been in Siena until the doctor took her there. .-"'.'' . •...,.
