Faithless Ghosts,

Ghost literature enjoys great popularity at
this season Of the year, and large class of
readers are supplied by the providers of fic-
ton with abundant opportunities for reveling
In tales Of ghosts and COLLINS from Christmas
Eve until Twelfth Night. The piece de re-
sistance Of the Christmas number. of Notes
and Queries Is a story Of ghost which
onght to have appeared but did not. Thirty
four years ago two young men studying in
Germany made bargain, signed in the most
orthodox manner with their blood, that
whichever Of them died first should appear to
the other. The survivor Of the pair now
puts on record the death of his friend In
1878 and his failure to keep the promised ap-
pointment.
Asimilar compact in youth was made by
Lord Brougham with Scotch friend, and
the manner In which the spirit Of the de-
parted appeared TO the future Lord Chancel-
Tor Is described in Lord Brougham's autobi-
ography.
DIR. Chance, of Sydenham Hill, who tells
the story In Notes and Queries, believes that
this is the first recorded instance Of failure
to keep this kind Of obligation. In this
statement, however, he Is mistaken. Such |
pledge was made by "Jupiser" Carlyle and |
young Scotch friend who died early in life;
but the interview, though anxiously looked |
Forward to by that most genial of mankind,
IS he confessed in his autobiography, never |

Some Tough Stories.

An account Of a very ingenious escape
comes from Michigan. As Peter Mulvany,
wealthy farmer Of Marengo, was crossing
the Kalamazoo river at that place on one of
the cold days last week he stepped into an
air hole that was concealed by thin crust
Of ice In the middle of the channel, where
there is q depth Of several feet quite cur
rent. He fell on his chest, with his arms ex-
tended on the Ice in front, which was solid;
but rs the most Of his body was in the water
and he was weighted down with his wet
and heavy clothing ii seemed impossible for
him to get out, until by presence of mind and
forethought rarely equaled he conceived the
idea Of wetting the buckskin mi.tens he had
on and letting them freeze to the smooth ice,
when his own strong arms would answer for
his safety. But to attempt to do this was
hazardous, rs his body was 80 poised on the
edge Of the Ice that by any movement Of his
arms backward he was In danger of losing
the slippery hold he already had, of sinking
back into the stream and of being drawn un-
der by the current. Another risk was that
should he wet his overcoat sleeves they
would instantly adhere to the ice and he
would be helpless and soon perish from the
intense cold. Il was his only hope and he
resolved to take the chances. BY carefully
bringing his right hand back by his side he |
succeeded In wetting the mitten on that hand |
and then extending It ahead rs far as he |
could reach held 10 until the mitten w M firm
ly fastened to the Ice; he then withdrew his
hand and seized 1t and thus had firm sup
port. He served the mitten on the other
hand in the same way and thus became mas
Ter Of the situation and readily pulled him
self out Of his perilous position.

Stockmen on the Missouri river, near BEN

ct the disappearance of SO many Of their cat
tie. A few days ago one of the herders, who
was stationed ut point on the river bank
where cattle have been In the habit of drink
ing, solved the puzzle. at that point ice had
formed while the river was high and afterthe
water had receded thsre was long slope of
ice--an Ice chute-which ended In an air
hole In the channel Of the river. The herder
saw several hundred cattle approach the
place. The leadersof the herd stopped at
the head Of the chute, but were crowded for
warn from behind, started down the chute,
lost their feet and disappeared in the air-hole.
Before the herder could interfere nine of the
herd had been sent into the river.
