HOW THEY LAID THE GHOST.
Superstitious Women Disinter a Body
and Remove Pins from the Hsir
and Shroud.

A despatch fr6m New Haven says:
In the cemetery of Birmingham four
middle-aged women and two men,
the latter armed with spades and
picks entered by the side gate and
halted 10 frontof a newly-made grave.
The men set to work, while the
women wept, and opened the grave
and hauled a casket up The lid was
taken off aud the remains of q beau
tiful young girl were revealed She
was the daughter ofone Of the women
and the mother shrieked SO loudly
when she saw the corpse that she
could be heard for blocks.
The men stood aside and the four
women bent over the casket and deft
fingers went rapidly through the dead
girls hair and shroud, and ell the
pins that could be found on the re-
mains were removed Then needle
and thread were procured and the
shFoud and hair sewn in their places
The lid was then screwed on the
casket and the remains were again
lowered into The grave. which was at
once filed up.
L was learned that the women
were of q very superstitious nature,
and they believed that If corps is
buried With th shroud pinned up in
stead Of sewed, the soul viii be con-
fined TO Ihe grave for eternity and
the persons guilty Of the mistake will
be haunted until death by the ghost
of the victim. A mistake was made
in this case, and one of the women
claims that she has seen the ghost for
two or three nights successiyely, and
she could stand it no longer; so she
got the OF her women together, and
between them they hired the men 10
disinter the body. The ghost has not
been seen since.

The power of the human eye has been

ing. The tale of the Ancient Mariner,
who held the wedding guests by his

probable every day. In Philadelphia
lives an ''eye champion, man who
says that by the strength of his look he
can tame the Nubian lion, and all that
sort of thing, and who recently adj
vertised that he could put out an electric
light By simply gazing at it. This
aroused the newspapers, and the man
with the fierce eye was called upon to
make the test He was placed before
an electric light and told to 60 i'm and
win, but he didn't That is, he went
in, but he didn't win. He glared at the
light with an awful intensity, but it
burned away ,serenely. 1t didn't even
flicker. The experiment was an abiect
failure, and the charlatan has lapsed
back into obscurity. And yet there is a
mysterious power in the human eve

The failure of the Philadelphia ex-

at the electric light.
