Mrs. JudsOn's Ghost.

DR.. Wayland, ia his Life of Jud
son." has but feebly portrayed the
scene of Mrs. Judson's funeral. Oul
decks were crowded by sailors of all
nations, and every flag was at half
mast, while long line of boats took
ours in tow, aud on arrival at the wharf
the clergy Of every denomination formed
the head OF the procession, which
moved through the main street, while
all the shops were closed.
My recollections of DIR. Judsou are
of the most agreeable kind. Deeply
afflicted as he was by his loss, ho still
maintained cheerful demeauor, ina
pressing all OF Ia witt love AMI venera-
ton for his character His life was a
constant sermon.
Bat scenes like that Of the death and
funeral they had lately witnessed pre-
pared the miHds Of the crew for the
access of superstition. Soon after
leaving st. Helena the second mate
called me suddenly in the night. The
poor fellows tone evinced that he was
as much frightened as were the sailors,
who, he said, had seen a ghost.
"a ghost, Mr.. Bronson?" l asked.
"What kind Of a ghost?
"Mrs. Judson's, sir; we can all see
it in the foretop."
"Pshawl"
Captain, do come on deck, do, and
you will see it for YOURSELF" replied
Mr.. Bronson.
Well, as 1 had never seen ghost,
complied with his request, and walking
into the waist, where the watch were
gathered in stupefied amazement, they
pointed their trembling fingers to the
foretop. whispering, in hushed voices,
"There she is, sir-look at her,
Yes, there she was-a perfect figure
of q woman in white dress, with out
stretched arms and CHASTITY face. l

There we're brave meu among the
crew who would have gone aloft on my
order to send down royal yard, even
if they thoaght the mast might go over
the side, but now none OF them would
stir. At last said, do you think it
is my place to go up there and stow
that top-gallant studding sail?"
Then they understood the meaning of
the apparation. This sail, which, when
not in use, was dashed against the fore.
top-mast rigging, had got adrift, and
spr eading itself across to the foremost
head. had assumed the weird and un-
earthly appearance of ghost. So
this puzzle for mstAphysicians was
solved.
Had l sent the men below and gone
up and slowed the sail myself, as I was
tempted to do. no argument would ever
have convinced them that they had not
seen the ghost of Mrs. Judson.-CAP-

About amer.

DR.. Henry Samuel Tanner was born
in Tunbridge, Wells. England, in 1881.
His father was wagon maker, and for
few years before he left England he
worked at the same trade. he came to
this country at the age of seventeen,
and settled in Wisconsin, where he be-
gan to study medicine. Hesubsequently
studied in the Eclectic College of Gu
cinnatl. but after several years he went
to Minneapolis, Minnesota, where he
practiced as an eclectic physician. He
says of himself, that he always held
Tanner with tight rein. He was a
temperate advocate from his boyhood,
but not q jealous one. He was content
to reap the advantages of abstemious-
ness without seeking very hard to make
proselytes. Having eschewed tobacco
and all alcoholic beverages. he early
conceived the idea that the love OF eat
ing had led to the practice of eating
too much, and to the error that an al
most constant supply Of food was nee.
essary to human existence. He argued
that o man could probably do what
many animals were known to do. and
he conceived that long fast might be
very beneficial for some stomachic dis
eases. It was this conviction, coupled
with an attack of rheumatism of the
heart which caused him to fast for
forty-two days in 1877. Some of these
cases will be worth referring to here
after, though fasting craze, of which
there is just now some apprehension, is
no more to be encouraged than the in
creasing voracity OF society,"" which
is always to be apprehended, and which
was recently the subject of British
contemporaries well-merised animad-
yersion,-THe South,

How TO "Do'AN ExrosITIoN.-We
may safely assume that when the hour
of trial comes New Workers will do
their duty. They will go day after day
to the buildings when the Exposition is
at its height. They will drift slowly
and in perspiring agony with the crowd
that passes through the Main Building,
gazing at rows Of fAt-irons and pyra-
mids of soda water bottles, and COCA
sionally catching glimpse of some
thing that might, perhaps, prove worth
seeing would the crowd consent to
pause for moment. They will wander
through the Machinery Hall, muddling
their minds with the sight of myriads
of wheels and BELTS and pistons in rapid
motion, which will have for the uned.
ucated mind all the meaning and beauty
of q postporcine nightmare. They will
dine and lunch and drink at the Ara
blan Restaurant and the Central Afri-
can Cafe, and wonder why the Arabian
conception OF an oyster stew is SO much
like that Of the managers OF Sunday
school refreshment table, and why the
Central Africans mix so much beans
with their coffee. They will go up in
aimless elevators and ride on circular
railways that never arrive anywhere
except at their point sf departure, and
in the slow hours of convalescence from
the exhaustion entailed by the Exhi-
bitio1 they will console themselves
with the reflection that they have done
their duty, and that it will probably be
many years before another Worlds
