The Ghost That Mr.. Jones Saw.

"Speaking of ghosts" said Mr.. Jones,
were discussing these subjects the other
evening. Il could never be afraid of
them because | don't believe in them.
SO far, haven't seen anything that
looked much worse than myself.
"And you never WILL said Mrs.
Jones, swallowing ten cents she had
put in her mouth for safe keeping and
which was intended for Willie's bank;
.'for my part | do believe in ghosts
what $ that in the corner. Jephthas'
l believe I'm getting nervousness, !
am certain of it. | know there are
ghosts My father always said So"
"Did he ever see One?' asked
Jones, glancing into the hall, which was
dark, and shivering as if he felt q
draught.
"No; he never saw one himself, but
he saw another man, who saw a man.
who had brother whose wife 5 father :
cousin said he had seen a man who had
spoken with man who hal seen 3
ghost" answered Mrs. Jones, in con-
tirmatory manner.
Il don It believe it, answered Jones
s'HOw is it possible for the vague, un-
substantial air to be reOrganized into ar
impalpable being
But Just then the tongs fell over, and
Jones jumped up and said he'd no idea
it was so late, and soon everybody was
in bed and sound asleep.
1t was near morning and Jones was
dreaming sweetly Of being tossed on the
horns of white cow, when Mrs. j. laid
a cold hand on the back of bis neck and
whispered in his nigh ear: '.Wake up,
Jephtha. some ones stirringr'
'.Stirring what?' asked Jones, sleep
lily.
Eor answer there was a sound that
has dismayed many a soul at midnight
- the ghoslly creaking of a stair. Jones
got up and wrapping the drapery OF
his couch about linn went forth to inter.
view the ghost, spook or whatever ii
might be- He opened his chamber door
valiantly and confronted sheeted fig
ure carrying light His eyes bulged
out of his head, his knees smote togeth-
er; he tried to remember some of the
dead languages in which he might APP
peal to the approaching ghost. He re-
called the words of another gentleman
with similar experience and gasped
forth:
CANCELS and ministers of grace de-
fend us. Be thou spirit of health OF
goblin damned?" And the ghost an
swered:
"Shure if We were decent man,
Misther Jones, ye'd close the dure till ]
got by. l dIsremembered to put the
salt mackerel in soak for yure break
fasht, an I'm afther goin' down to at
tind to it now shure.'
Bridget by all that's holy" said
Mr.. Jones as the ghost materialized.
and he went back to bed and sneczed
himself to sleep again. Detroit Post ana

The Origin Of Postage Stamps.

The idea of an adhesive stamp affixed
to letter, us indicative of the payment
of postage, is much older than has been
generally supposed. 1t is known that
the first suggestion of such an arrange
ment in modern times came from Row
ling Hill, the father of the cheap postal
system in England, about the year 1889
or 1910. 1t was several years, however,
before his suggestion was carried into
effect. History, however, tells us that
the ancient German cites of Thurn and
TaNis had such a system, which. fOr
inexplicable reason, fell into disuse o,
failed to become general among nations.
The modern postage stamp then was
first used in England about the ycar
1912 or 1S43. In 1915 f. A. Mitchell.
then postmaster of New Haven, taking
advantage of the English idea, made use
of postage stump of his own, which
he continued to use until lS47. when
the Government of the United States
issued tie first American postage
stamps. They were in two denomina-
tons. The tive-cent was of light
brown color, bearing the head OF Frank
I'm, anu IDt lCH-ccut Oh u gray Coloi
with the efligy of Washington. AT that
time the rate of letter postage was five
and ten cents, according to distance.
In 1851 series OF six denominations
was issued. The onc-cent stamp was
blue, bearing an elliptical band upon
which were the words: ''U. S. p. o..
Despatch. Prepaid, one cent Within
the band was an eagle with wings out
spread. The two-cent stamp was also
blue, bearing the head of Franklin; the
three-ccnt vermilliOn, with head OF
Washington; the five-cent chocolate,
with head of jefferson; the ten-cent
green, with head of Washington, :nd
thirteen stars IN semi-circlc above; the
twelve-ccnt was black, also with head
of Washington. The twenty-four,
thirty and ninety-cent stamps We're sub
seq,sntiy added to the series. The first
of these bore the face of Washington:
the second was orange, with the head OF
Franklin, and the last was dark blue,
also with the head of Washington.
There was i'm this series also Il square

inc the head of Franklin.-NeW Hacen

Mrs. Hewitt could not make it out.
PA who prided himself upon being
long-headed, limited that he could, but
he would not say outright what he
thought, and his wife regarded his hints
with lofty scorn.
One afternoon. after school-hOurs,
Lysander went down to the woods back
of the house to superintend the opera.
tiOnS OF some men who were cutting
timber. just at dusk Miss Barton, COM
ing home from a visit to sick parish.
Toner, encountered four men carrying
on an improvised stretcher Lysander's
apparently lifeless body. He was lying
white and rigid, and then there were
scarlet spots upon the snow all the way
that he had come. Down on her knees in
the snow fell Miss Barton, and threw
her arms around him.
''Oh, my love! my love! have you
gone so far away that you can not hear
me say do love you?" she cried. q

was my duty, but if you could only

And then they had to raise Miss Bar
ton, and carry her into the house, for
she had tainted.
That's just what I could have told
you 4 good while ago if 1 had had a
mind to-" said Pa as he rehearsed
the scene to his wife an hour afterward.
''She's terrible sight like woman if
she is a minister. And Lysander-well,
l calculate he won't complain of having
his foot cut, if it does lay him up for q
while. | can't say whether she'll let
him do the preaching, or whether they'll
both do it, but you'll see them married
before summer"
Il don't want anybody TO think it's
because I'm woman" said Miss Bar
ton, rather inconsequently, when Ly-
sander led her, blushing and fearful, to
his mothers arms. "But l didn't seem
able to help it. And Lysander says

A unique style of evening dress
affected by many young ladies in socic-
ty. is Grecian dress of palest yellow
HindOo cashmere. embroidered in Gre
clan patterns. DOe-colored kid sandals
accompany the dress, worn over stock
ings of pale mauve-colored silk, EN-
broidered in gold. The flowing. half
long sleeves, also embroidered, are met
by long Swedish gloves stitched with
mauve silk. The corsage is covered
with large bertha of costly lace, fast
roses, tea rose-buds. and heliotrOpt
blossoms If artificial, the blossoms
are scented. each delicately, with their
natural perfumes.
A costly novelty in lingerie is a grace
full collar of black velvet or satin, cut in
vandykes, and richly-embroidered on
the deep points with tiny clusters OF
dark red roses and buds, and black pop
pies with golden hearts. The edges are
finished with slightly gathered rufiles OF
black guipure lace, with plated frill
about the neck of the same lace. These
collars are worn without q vestige of
white n Ound the throat. Other collars
in the same style for evening wear are
made of white satin or silk, embroidered
in white marguerites outlined with tiny
pearl beads, and finished around the
points with frills Of pearl-bcaded Vene-
tan lace.
1t is now many months since report
was raised that panniers were "a thing
of the past and would quickly be out
of style. Many fashion writer's, learn
ing of their continued popularity in
Paris, denied this statement, and it only
needs very cursory glance around the
parlors of our modiStes to perceive how
very fallacious was their information,
and how little probability there exists
of a fashion found so generally becOm-
ing suddenly ceasing to exist. The
continuance of this mode, however. does
not prevent equal favor being shown to
the long rcdingoteS falling plainly over

Shawl tabliers that is, with one
point either in front or ut one side-are
seen upon new imported walking
dresses If of heavy material, the
tablier is plain and fiat, but if draping
softly, the same effect is produced by
cutting the tablier very long and plait-
ing the sides in folds. Round TUNES.
raised much higher at one side than the
other, are also much liked. The collec-
ton of folds at the short side is usually
ornamented by a bow or straps of broad
ribbon or velvet run through buckle
and falling in long loops and ends over
the skirt, and often these ribbons show
six or eight harmonizing colors. each

A Sagacious Shepherd Dog.

There is a shepherd dog, owned out
on the Carthage Pike, near Elmwood,
which for sagacity entities him to the
honor of professor. A few DAYS
since a gentleman, familiar with the
writer. was coming down Spring Grove
avenue, just above Chester Park. and
observed Il little commotlon at me north
end of the large covered wooden ave
nue. bridge which spans Millcreek
mile or so above Chester Park. APP
proachinC nearer he discovered n flock
Of sheep that had blocked the north
entrance to the bridge. Their owner
was patiently seated in wagon be-
hind them, apparently unconcerned.
A large shepherd dog had been strug-
pling for several minutes to induce the
sheep to enter the bridge and 60 on:
But they were evidently suspicious and
did not dare to venture into the for
bidding place. Frightened at the dog
barking and urging, the hindmost
sheep kept crowding up while the
leaders obstinately held back. AS in
timated above the owner was uncon-
cerned, evidently confident that his
sagacious dog would solve the prob.
lem. Presently the dog, discouraged
at his unsuccessful effort to drive,
leaped upon the backs of the sheep,
which, in their crowded condition.
looked like one expansive floor, ran
along to the bridge entrance, ieaPed
upon the floor. and, Selling in his
mouth the woolly neck of one OF the
ewes, dragged her along onto the
bridge. Once on the floor OF the
bridge, the old ewes suspicious were
allayed, and she trOtted on across, foi-
lowed by the whole flock, while SheP
stepped one side, let them all pass, and
then trotted along after.
And vet there are men silly enough
70 insist that dogs do not thipk.-tNF
