rolling mill just about the time when
we saw the ghost. There had been
much quarreling between the women
and her husband, and he was suspected
for a time, but no proof could be found
against him. Ever since this ghost
has been seen by a good many people,"
A Spiri t Materialized.
A lady will, we are told, soon ap-
pear in London who is an apparition at
first, afterwards a solid, palpable, and
eve a somewhat fat lady; then she re-
tires from her fat and her solidity and
dissolves into airy nothingness, says the
Court Journal. In the center of the ex-
hibition room a globe will appear with
out, apparently, anything ~suspending it
supporting it; from that globe, after
the mystic words have been spoken, to
the accompaniment of weird music, a
female form will be seen to emerge
(draped), but hardly recognizable, SO
vapory will she be.
Then she will gradually solidify ,nour-
ished or nothing Ia much-desirea at
tainment in these hard times), and
viewing the public, will gradually be-
come vapory, and retire finally to her
residence in the hanging globe.
Warnings OF Death.
The story of ''The White Bird Of
Oxenham" reminds me of a like ex-
perience, says a writer in the London
Light. Only last winter l called on
some friends, and was met ut the door of
the house by the words, ''Our little
niece is dead, but we do not wish Mrs.
- to be told till tomorrow" L
promised to say nothing, and went up
stairs to where the old lady was sitting
near a window. Before l could make a
remark she exclaimed, "one of US is
gone; I.have just had the family warn
ing" She then told me that the sign
of a death in her family was a little
bird, which few against the window
and then fell dead. This had just oc-
Cured. / have since heard of another
case where u small white cat is seen
rapidly to cross the room. In connec-
tiOn with this are the banshees of the
Highlands and of Ireland, and the
phantom coaches heard to drive up to
the door of the house. A friend told
me she had been in the house or one
occasion when this occurred, and saw
her host turn pale as death as the gates
We're thrown open, and there was moth
ing to be seen. Akin with this also are
the bagpipes that wall around Highland
houses, and o family in England hears
lovely music within the house itself.
Instances might be multiplied ad
libitum. The question is not whether
those warnings are given, but, whence
do'they Gomez What laws give rise TO
them2 Are they from the physical,
astral, for dreams and visions, appar-
emily of the astral body, just before or
after the death of the individual, some
| times answer the same purpose. The
second sight of the Kettle races may
probably have the same origin. A lady
we'll known TO possess IL, on going To
the station abroad, to meet her box con
tanning her wedding %trousseau, was
seen u shrink from it and turn pale.
Afterward she told her version. at
was a coffin" she said, 1.-The men car
ried out. | could not go nea it," Next
day came the quite unexpected news OF
the death of a near relation.
Another perplexing question is,
whence comes the power TO bless and to
curse, undoubtedly possessed By certain
individuals from all time? The Instances
of this power throughout the bible are
legion. Wizards, witches and gypsies
have been supposed to possess If, and
also the evil eye. Generally. it is ae'
c%ompanied with q certain knowledge OIL
the future. A man uniustly condemned
to DO executed many years ago for steal
ing protested his innocence to the last
and said that no grass would grow upon
