A Haunted Shanty.

A year ago James Fletcher, an old
and inoffensive resident of Bridgeville,
Sullivan county, died. During his
life he had been eccentric in his hab-
its. He lived in little shanty by him
self and cared but little for the things
of this world. At times he exhibited
strange religious freaks. On occasions
he has been known to walk through
the mountains a distance of a dozen
miles or more to attend a Sunday
morning service In church, and then
would not be seen inside the portals of
church for months. When asked
regarding his religious views hewould
say: II believe in God, man and the
devil" The little shanty that he called
his home is yet standing, and some
people declare it haunted by the old
mans spirit. Many persons will not
pass it after dark. 1t is stated that un-
earthly yells are heard within its walls
at certain hours of the night, and that
loud cries, as of person in distress,
are distinctly heard. Some persons
living in the neighborhood are in favor
of razing it to the ground.-Kingston

Advsntages They Have in England Over
Those not Bald.
The London Medical Press and Cir
cular has the following: ga medical
correspondent contributes to lay con-
temporary some remarks upon his pro-
fession, which, although in some re-
spects containing good deal of truth,
are nevertheless confessedly amusing
His main object in view is to show
that he has made great mistake In
joining the ranks of medicine, instead
of investing his money, which had
been spent upon his education, in some
business concern. He describes him
self as failure, and this after having
worked exceedingly hard at his pro-
fession.
s'The cause of his failure he at
tributes to the absence Of two things,
which are chiefly essential to success
in the medical profession. These, he
asserts are, in the first place, money,
and in the second, a bald head. i

conveniently thick. Incipient bald
ness gives the appearance of high
and dome like forehead, and inspires
the ladies with confidence. The for
tunate possessor of this beautiful fea-
ture is pronounced Every clever"
which settles the matter. Besides, it
is almost indispensable for a "good bed
side manner" All my medical friends

have both
s'It is, no doubt, very much to the
advantage of q young practitioner to
exhibit modern antique appearance,
and nothing contributes so greatly to
this end as a head which is innocent
of hair. There is a real commercial
value in bald head, but this value is
by no means confined to the medical
profession. Whatever advantages,
however, it may confer OH business
young man, to a medical man fair
estimate under favorable circumstan-
ces would be, at the lowest, five hun
dred a year. The assumption of age
and ripe philosophy which man can
safely indulge in, whose hair follicles
upon the top of his head have in early
manhood undergone process of fatty
degeneration, leaving white expanse
of rejecting integument, Is matter
of common observation. The public
are impressed by the appearance of
things under these circumstances; a
bald head will carry conviction to
their minds when nothing else will

Gwen the lower animals are not
insensible to its attraction. 1t is re
corded that an ostrich once sat down
upon the bald head of an Englishman,
under the impression that It was an
egg which required Matching. The
circumstances were favorable to this
slight error of judgment, and the sa-
gacious bird must be acquitted of hav
ing purposely attempted to play a
practical joke. But in this matter, as
In all things else in life, appearances
are everything. No one knows better
the value of bald head than he who
possesses it; at all events in medicine,
but how strangely captious in nature,
for while one man, greatly to his
worldly prosperity, conveniently finds
his head becoming bald, another has to
seek consolation where he can under
the depressing circumstances of know
ing that his head is the only place
upon which he cannot get hair to
grow"

Thibetan Customs.

All Thibetans slain in battle are
honored by the people with offerings
of sweet scented flowers. They salute
their superiors by taking off their hats
and thrusting out their tongues three
times. The people say the climate diff
fers every few miles. The punish
ments are very severe No matter
whether the crime be grave or trivial,
the matter great orsmall, all offenders,
when caught, are tied up in dark
room with all their limbs bound, and
kept there until dragged out for trial.
Sentences of death are carried out by
binding the criminal to pillar and
shooting at him with muskets and
bows in contest for drink, by taking
him to cave swarming with scorpions
and allowing the latter to sting him,
or by handing him over to be divided
and eaten up by the savages of the U
country.
They put their dead in bags made of
hides, which they suspend for seven
days from the ridge poles of their
dwellings, while Lama priests chant
the liturgy, and afterwards they are
carried to mountain peaks, where the
flesh is cut into thin slices, and thrown
to the dogs to eat; this is called the
earth interment. The bones are pull
verified, made into pills about the size
of beans and given to the eagles to
eat; this is called sky interment. The
sick do not take medicine, but are
placed in the scorching heat of the
sun with their bodies daubed all over
with butter-Exchange.
