The Beresford Ghost Story.

! Many persons may be interested in a
"Beresford Ghost Story" dear tn all low
ers of the supernatural which is here Civ.
en-. 1t is warranted as correct on no less
an authority than the present Archbishop
OF Armagh, who, as a great-great-g
son, of one of the principal actors and col
/, latterally descended from the other, GER
tainly ought to know all about it., if any
one does. Nichola Sophia Hamilton, who
( afterward became L,,dy BeresfOrd, bad
made an agreement with the Earl of Ty
rome Of the De la Peer family, with whom
she had been brought up, that whichever
of them died first was to appear to the
other if there was any truth in revealed
religion,i in which neither of them had any
faith. One morning Lady Beresford, who
was paying a visit, came down to break
fast in a very agitated state, with black
ribbon round her WRIST. When her hus-
band, Sir Tristram, asked her what was
the matter, she beg ged him to ask no
questions, but told him that the post
would bring him tidings of Lord Tyrone's
death, and that he would in the next year
be the father of son. These predictions
came true; the expected letter brought the
news that Lord Tyrone hao died the Satur-
day before, and in due time son was born.
Lady Beresford always continued to wear
the ribbon round her wrist.
Sir Tristram died, and his widow after
time married Captain Georges, who turn
ed out so badly that she had to separate
from him. When she was living in Dublin
she gave dinner party to celebrate her
birthday, and invited an old clergyman
who had chrlstened her. He was the first
arrival, and she told hi m she was just for
ty-eight that day. ''No.'' said he, ''you
are only forty seven; you were born In
1885," She grew deadly pale.'' "Are you
sure?" she said. Certain, - he said. ''Yo gu
have then," she replied, ''signed my death
warrant. I have only few hours to live"
She retired to her room, sent for her son,
ston, and, believe, Henry, Archbishop of
Dublin. She the told the story for the
first time of Lord Tyrone appearing to her,
telling her of his death; that she would
have son who would marry his brothers.

unfortunate marriage, and Gle on her for

DANGERS OF RUNNING UPsTAIRs.-A
New York physician thinks there is con-
nection between hastily ascending stairs
and hear disease. He says: 1.-The great
est care is necessary In this matter for
people with any heart trouble, either la
tent or developed. There certainly are
among our business and professional men
many afflicted with some form of heart
trouble which has often been induced by
severe attacks of rheumatism or kidney
disease. I have not known a case Of heart
disease which was attributed alone to as
cending stairs. or course, the first effect
of running rapidly ascending is shortness
of breath. That means that the legs and
arms are moving quickly. whils the mo-
ton of the heart, not having caught up,
i. slower. So load of blood from the
limbs is suddenly thrown upon the heart
before it begins to move rapidly enough
to dispose of it. The undue burden sud-
denly put on the heart. and the Temporal
ry congestion in the lungs, cause imper-
feet action on that part, and we experience
what is known as shortness of breath
This is what every one has felt after run
ming up stairs or TO catch train. But if
the heart is perfectly sound, this exertion
will not cause disease. But persons with
weak hearts should go very carefully"

A Kentucky Barbecue.

On arriving at the spot my curiosity was
abundantly gratiied and rewarded. saw
for the first time an immense OK in the
process of being barbecued. And this
was the process: A large trench had been
dug in the ground, eight or ten feet long,
and four or five feet deep. This trench
had been filled with the best quality of
beech or maple from the body of the trees.
This had been set on fire and burned until
there was left bed of burning Goals, some
two or three feet deep. that did not emit q
particle of smoke. The slaughtered OK
had been laid completely open, and two
large splits about eight feet long had been
thrust through each fore and hind leg
lengthwise, and four or more negroes TAX
ing hold of the ends of these splits had laid
the OK over this trench, above the burning
Goals. There bovine monarch lay, cook
ing as beautifully as in my childhood I
had seen many turkey suspended by a
string, swinging before the large wood fire
that was burning and blazing upon the
ample hearth of our family kitchen. And
it was soon upon the same principle-the
juices were all cooked IN. =,
The negroes we're all gathered around
the OK, with large swabs upon long sticks
with which they necessarily ''basted'
with a liquid prepared for this purpose and
standing in large kettles on either side Of
the trench. From time to time the large
bed of Goals was stirred, and occasionally
they performed the difficult feat of turning
over the OK so that each side might be
cooked with an equal rate of progress
This worked they greatly enjoyed. There
was enough OF the wild and strange about
it to crafty their excitable natures. The
stiffness OF the night, the surrou nding
darkness, and the CLEANS of the large and
brightly burning bed of Goals in the over
hanging tree tops, gave to the whole scene
weird character which awoke all the
enthusiasm of their untutored natures.
Through the long night they cheerfully
piled their task, stirring up the depths of
the live Goals, and ''basting' and turning
the OK. as often as was necessary. Ere
quently they sang those strange, wild At
rican songs that they are accustomed to
improvise while at work and upon all
kinds of occasions, and as they echoed |
among the forest trees and floated out up
on the night air, the soft, sweet melody
was most enchanting.
AS left to go to my room for the night, |
and turned to look back upon them from
the darkess, the strange scene seemed not
unlike company of Druid priests offer

In the morning made them another
visit Many of the Goals had turned to
ashes, and the bed was much reduced in
depth. But when the negroes putin their !
long poles, they stirred up an abundance
of bright Goals from the bottom. Tho OK, |
which had been placed over the fire at {
shutdown the night before, was to be cook
ed till noon, when the grand barbecue din

such as sheep and shoats and the various
kinds of poultry, we're to be placed over
the fire in time to be nicely cooked by this
hour. At that time every portion of the

Four Thousand pounds of apples when

pounds, which contain Is pounds Of potash
20 pounds Of soda, and a little magnesia,
lime and iron. But the ash Of the wood
of an apple tree contains 10 per cent. of
potash against 3S per cent. in the fruit,
and only trace of soda against rs per
cent. in the fruit. On the other hand,
while the fruit contains but per cent, of
lime, the ash of the wood shows IS per
cent. The fruit also demands Is per cent.
of PHOSPHORUS and the wood but 5 per

THE USE OF MILK.-Doctor Crosby, of
the Bellevue Hospital, pronounces milk an
article of diet which persons may use, I'M
der all conditions. There are those who
say they cannot take milk, that it
makes them bilious, etc.. but he de-
clares that this is not true. A per
son who IS sick may take milk with the
greatest possible advantage, because it
contains in the form of assimilation, all
the elements essential for maintaining nu-
triton. 1t is the aliment of the young
animal, and certainly answers good pur-
pose for the old animal, provided it is
used properly, and not poured into a
stomach already filled, as though it had in
itself no substance or richness.
New milk, as he does not hesitate to
say, may be taken-as far as disease is
concerned-in nearly every condition.
Perhaps it will require the addition of a
spoonful or two of lime water. The ad-
dition Of little salt will often prevent
the afterfeeling of fullness and wind on
the stomach which some complain Of

N. Y the president said 1--WE cannot

if it can catch the spirit of enterprise
of Kansas and the northwestern
states. 'i'
"Will the state continue to grow

the effect of the climate on their
health. The general feeling was
that, as a living could be me lie so
easily in Texas, there never would
be the rapid growth in that state that
