THE HAUNTED GALLERY.

Here is the mysterious haunted gal
lery connecting the old Queens apart
ments" with the royal chapel. The
gallery is haunted, it is said, by the
shrieking ghost of Queen Catherine
Howard. The queen was fascinating,
deceitful, delightful little creature, who
had been sadly neglected in her youth
and corrupted by debasing companions
ship, but full of the delight OF life and
shrinking sensitively from every touch
of pain. Yesterday she had been the
petted toy Of her cruel husband; to-day
she was doomed to the fearful fate that
awaited Harry's discarded wives. In
the horror of her position, surrounded
by rough and brutal soldiers of the
kings guard she found momentary
chance of escape, and rushing through
the long gallery ran to seek her hus-
band, who was at that moment hearing
mass in the chapel, to cling to his knees,
to soften with her tears that heart of
adamant. The guards at their utmost
speed followed the poor distracted
creature. just as she reached the kings
closet they overlook her and dragged
her back, her frenzied screams resound-
ing through the palace. The gallery is
now used as kind Of lumber room, but
still the shrieks of the agonized queen
are to be heard at times. Anyhow, in
Ernest Laws interesting volume,

there is recent testimony to that effect.

Proudly, beneath her glittering dome,

Wanted to see what the establishment
had been doing in the last two weeks. :"
"You are one Of the kind of fellows
who can't sink the shop, George; or,
rxther, your thoughts are all in your
business, wherever you may be-.
You're right, my boy. We have
been here almost two weeks, and at the
end of the first I was quite ready to go

q little promenading, and little-yes,
ever so little !-loafing about among the
crowd is plenty for me. Tn sick of it

The speaker laughed and turned to
che samples on the table. His friend
looked out of the window (they were in
soom 1858, fourth floor of the great
Aelantarium,) at the wide prospect of
blue ocean. and surf trembling on a
wide sandy beach, and imagined that
the lady whom he loved in secret was
walking there with hundreds Of others
that he saw.
AThese are fine specimens; good
work, if do say it," he heard. Run
tzing over the lot, the eye of Mr.. George
Jameson rested for a moment on one of
them, with evident satisfaction.
Just look at that one, Stanley" he
aald- "The beauty Of getting up any
kind of a card, whether for wedding,
a reception, or plain business adver-
easement, is to preserve certain har-
tsnony in the style Of lettering. Els
pecially where script is not used, the
zrt is to give to all the lines of the card
a certain unity of appearance. This
one does it admirably"
Stanley Marsden took the plain spec

TIVE E1HUnEs IN WINDOWS.

LIVE FIGURES IN WINDOWS.
The use of live animals has always
been an expedient in window dressing
resorted to by live storekeepers. An
animal that in its barn-yard surround
ings would attract not even the most
cursory glance, will, when transported
to the unfamiliar surroundings OF q
store window, be source OF much IN
terest and amusement. Many and Oft
have we stopped to watch the store cat
It is simply the unaccustomed sur
roundings in which the cat was placed
that caused interest to be quickened.
When pug dogs were more of rarity
than they are to-day, litter of puppies
made sensation in Chicago window,
and there is as much interest centered
in colony of ordinary brown squirrels
which have been domiciled in the win
dow of west side coffee-house for a
number of years as there was the first
day they were placed in their strange
home.
Even that superb member Of the ami
NAL kingdom, man, common as he is,
becomes matter of curiosity when dis
played in shop window, and we have
seen the course of business through a
street nearly paralyzed by a crowd
gathered in front Of window watching
two men make shoes. The operation is
very common one, and no one would
stand very long in a shoe shop to watch
it, but transported to a store window
the shoemaker's trade becomes as at
tractive as wax-works show. The man
who can be hired to sit in window in
q Santa Claus costume, or in some other
representative character, will be apt to
attract more attention than he ever did
before, and when it comes to woman
in the window the sensation is still
greater. One of the present attractions
in west-side store is man in rubber
costume disporting in "tank Of real
water" to use theatrical expression.
An editor states that storekeepel
who wished his patrons to understand
that he is satisfied with small profit
and a fair share of trade, adopted very
amusing and original method of adver.
Using the fact to passers by. In his
show window he fitted up q little per
and placed two little pigs in 1t with 6
little trough of food. Over them he
placed a card reading: "We are NJ
hogs; little satisfies us. The ides
was an immense hit, and brought lots o
people to that merchants store. It wa!
well talked about, and all the folks
came to carry away few bargains and
see the little pigs feed.-American

A Fortunate Druggist.

MI. Edwin W. Joy prosperous druggist
on the corner of Stockton and Market
streets, in San Francisco, probably never
dreamed of rivaling in wealth the medi-
cine kings of the country. But various
rumors having been floating around ts the
effect that he has struck it big, an Examiner
reporter was detailed to unearth the cause
1t seems that about seven years ago an
English physician, great student of Bot
any, located in this city. His practice
was not extensive, and yet the few cases
that came to him attracted no little atten-
tionS His great success seemed to be in the
treatment Of liver and kidney disorders
and Yitiated blood He seemed almost
infallibie, and his well-kept secret was as
much mystery as himself D After his de-
parture Mr.. Joy determined to fathom the
secret, and copying all the prescriptions
he had filed for the erratic doctor, he
began a systematic analysis. He discov-
cred running all through the preScript-
ions for liver and kidney troubles, yitiated
blood and stomach disorders a couple of
vegetable extracts indigenous to California
so simple and so we'll known under home
ly every day names to every school boy as
to cntirelyI dissipate the suspicion that
they were the active principles involved
So certain, however, was Mr.. Joy that he
had discovered the secret that he embod-
led the new clements in a preparation of
Sarsaparilla to disguise the taste, and put
it before his customers under the modest
name of joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla I'm
mediately the same stories came back OF
astonishing effects, and the mystery was
solved, and the talk it has created 'has
already caused it to step into prominence,
and orders pour in daily from all over the
coast. And thus another California indus
try leaps into existence.-S F. ErdnaiRcr.

WHAT WILL THE END BE.

J.E. THIcKsToN, a scientist and astron-
omer, living at Metuchen, n. j., while
alluding to the Johnstown horror, said
to a Herald correspondent that the
dreadful catastrophe was as nothing
compared to what might have occurred.
'The news from central Pennsylvania
is awful he said, 'but this may be a
very little thing compared with what
NAV vet occur. Near and west of the
Alleghanies great opening within the
earth's crust must be made somewhere
by the escape of natural gas. Will the
earth settle and fill the empty places, or
will air pass in and thereby make it
possible for-the immense reservoirs of
gas, stored away, no one knows how far,
to explode and make an upheaval? Many
people believe there is gas enough un-
der western Pennsylvania and eastern
Ohio to blow the country from Lake
Erie to the Monongahela into promis-
cuous fragments. When oil was struck
at Oil Creek in 1859, timid folks feared a
collapse and a sinking of the oil field,
but that danger was obviated by water
running into the wells as the
oil ran out. The dreaded vacuum never
came, as water took the place of the re-
moved oil. 1t is not so in this case
Water is not filling up the gas wells, ex-
cept to a limited extent. What the out,
come may be is not really very enjoy
able thing to revolve in our minds these
pleasant July mornings. A submerged
valley, lined with the bones OF fifteen
thousand men, women and children is q
fearful thing in the history of the human
race. but what of that compared with
wrecked continent? What of that COM
pared with a world blown open or blown
to fragments? | am not an alarmist OF
a sensational Virgins. / do not believe
that old Mother Earth is about to be
shot into smithereens, but there may be
danger ahead in this direction, and al
though we grieve over the Conemaugh
catastrophe, let us be thankful that there
has not been a natural gas explosion out
west, and that there are not two rings
instead of one set of asteoridS in the
material heavens"
