A Visitors Ghost Story.

An old gentleman, npon whose head
the frosts OF many winters had rested,
remarked to Il Sun reporter the other
evening at the Grand Hotel:
Speaking OF ghosts, once had q
curious experience, and one which even
now makes my blood run cold when I
think OF it. | know What you will say
but every word am going to tell you

an honest man. Some years ago |

his lands were well stocked with such
trees as could utilize, agreed with
him to have them cut and hauled to

were cut, and took occasion to note
them that might not be imposed Up

mans honesty. AS it happened, after
had all the timber needed and had
paid for, this man presented bill for
forty trees cut and hauled. | disput-

me to pay it. When handed himthe
money / told HIM that he had done
wrong and that some calamity would
b6all him. Not above a year

morning, about o'clock, by this same
curious individual. TWAS quite dark,

directed'his attention to my strange
visitor. He simply said he could not
discern anything and laughed ut me.
The man said he had been mistaken
about the trees and desired to return
me the money. Then the apparition
vanished, We talked considerably
over the matter before again going to
sleep. My companion laughed over
it as a joke the next morning, but we
were startled while eating breakfast
at the news OF the mans death. He
had died only a few minutes before he

The Girl OF To-day.

New Orleans States.
The girl Of to-day is a busy, useful worker.
She is generally. proficient in needlework. She
cannot only alter her own dresses, but cut and
make those and make her Undertaking as
well. She has knack Of trimming her hats
and furnishing her wardrobe, and does her
full share at helping the dressmaker who
comes to assume charge Of the spring and fall
sewing. She understands the various branch
es of mending, and takes that division Of
labor off her mothers hands, as well as the
care Of arlors and dining rooms, the arrange
ment of flowers, the supervision of the man
ners and apparel Of the younger children, and
sometimes of their studies, too. Let full JUS
tice be done to the 'glrl Of the PERIOD" or
rather lie. there be a clear comprehension Of
what should be really represented by that much
abused phrase. 1t Is not fair to take the weak
est specimens of the sex as types Of class
comprising earnest workers, with strong con-
ceptions of life, Its responsibilities and burdens
and steady purpose to bear them according
to the bestof their ability.

The Educated Firms.

In communication from Rev. DR..
Craig. formerly of Hamburg, now one
of the association secretaries of the Re-

cident is narrated. DR.. Craig was ira
Yelling at the time with a friend in
northern Europe:
What is the use of printing books
for these Finns?" said my friend to me
one morning, sitting opposite me at
the breakfast table in the hotel at Hell
singfors, sit is pure waste of money.
Only look at these peasants in the
market place opposite the window, and
you will see how useless it is to offer
them books. | do not suppose one in a
hundred can read"
II bet you pound" said gentle
man who heard the remark, THAT of
every dozen Of the peasants ten can
read!'

soon as breakfast is over we will go
and try"
Waste of money to accept of such q
bet | whispered across the table;
"but if you wish to try l will give you
copies of Bishop Ryle's tracts, or of
Moody's sermons, in Finnish, Swedish,
Lcttsh, Esthonian, or any other Ian
guage you require. For while these
peasants can mostly speak two or three
of these languages they will not be able
to read more than one
The two gentlemen went down to the
the great market square, where many
hundreds of country people had been
selling their butter and eggs and fowls
and vegetables since O'clock in the
morning, and it was now after z. As

them, but watched from the window.
My friend had the right of selection,
and did not, of course. choose those
that seemed the most intelligent. The
other gentleman ascertained what lam

cccded with the examination. The re-
suit was that every one Of the twelve

Happens that SO much education is

friend was told that he richly deserved
to lose his pound for being so stupid as
to suppose that the Tract society would

manufacturer claims it to be. A few
days ago he was attacked with a severe collie,
