A Ghost with q Grievance.

The Shih Pao, published at Tientsin, re-
Gently printed the following paragraph: In
the district of Pan Yu, in Kuangtung, there
is a mountain popularity called the Tigers
Dem On this mountain a man had buried
his father, but after the lapse Of few years
he selected another site for his tomb, and
proceeded to unearth his remains. When the
grave was dug open it was found filed with
water and the coffin totally decayed. Seeing
this state of things, the undertaken hastily
picked up the bones, and, placing them in an
urn. they were reinterred in another tomb.
THAT night, when the son had fallen
asleep, he dreamt he saw his father in great
displeasure and vigorously chastising him.
He awoke quite puzzled, but, falling asleep
again, his father reappeared, again chastising
him as before. This happened several times,
and upon his relating the story to his friends
the next morning, some suggested that IL
might be possible that his fathers spirit OBJ
iected to being removed; others limited that
the location of the new grave might not be
satisfactory. But all these conjectures could
not explain the strangeness of the situation,
because the old grave was full of water, and
it was incredible that the paternal names
should prefer to remain in it to new, dry
and well confgurated site.
FINALLY new thought struck the puzzled
son, and he asked the undertaken if he was
sure he had picked up all the bones when he
put them in the urn. Upon the undertaken
expressing an uncertainty in the matter,
search was made, and, sure enough, bone
was found which had escaped notice. This
stray bone was at once inferred with the rest
in the urn, and that night the son enjoyed
undisturbed slumber, his father being no
longer displeased with him for having neg
lected one of his bones "-Cincinnati En-

Decline OF Trotting in Kentucky.

A dozen years ago the trotter flour
ished like the green bay tree, and run
ming races, outside of those upon the
time honored course at Lexington,
were practically unknown in the state.
Every fair had its trots and everybody
was interested in the trotter. Now the
thoroughbred reigns supreme, and the
trotter has been relegated to the rear.
Thousands can now be found who will
read the most trifling gossip about
Proctor Knott, while poll of the state
would hardly disclose dozen who
could name the sire of Maud s. or Jay
Eye-See. The Kentucky stud farms
still breed trotters for the outside mar
ket, but none for ''home consump-
ton" The people here will have none
but running races, and nothing in the
shape of a thoroughbred bang-tail is too
rich for their blood. This love for the
flyer, however, is not solely response
BILE for the decline of trotting in Ken
lucky. Before its dissolution, dozen
or moro years ago, the trotting ring
had become rotten to the core, and Il
was this corruption moro than any
thing else that caused its death. The
efforts Of the Louisville Driving Park
to revive the corpse and TO conduct
future races on an honorable basis
were praiseworthy enough, but they
came too late. fhe public taste had
changed, never, probably, to be re-
claimed again in that direction

Narrow Escape for the Child.

I was the witness of street scene
the Gtner ,-uy witch might have re-
suited very badly for the youngest
person concerned. Two women were
walking with q little girl between
them, each Of them having her by the
hand. All three started to cross the
street, when a hack came along at O
brisk pace, whereupon one Of the
women hurried In front of the horses
while the other held back, but both re-
tanned their hold Of the child, and tho
consequence was that for q moment
she was held in the path of destruction,
her feet scarcely touching the ground,
her little arms extended and the pole OF
the carriage threatening toimpale her.
Fortunately, at last one Of these dan.
gerous guardians let 60 her hold, and
the small girl was hauled out of dan
ger by the other. 1t would be well,
perhape, If, whenever child is thus
made to serve as q connecting link be-
tween two grown persons, the respon-
sibility OF guarding her should rest
with one alone. Boston Post.

FiantfnE wIrn . Cannon.

Alexander Nasmyth, tho landscape
painter, was a man fruitful in expedi.
ents. To his mind, the fact that O
thing could not be done in the ordi-
nary manner was no reason why it
should be given up. His son relates
the following interesting example of
his ingenuity:
The Duke Of Athol consulted him az
0red to make in his woodland scenery
near Dunkeld.
Among other things, certain rocky
crag needed to be planted with trees,
to relieve the grim barrenness of its
appearance. The question was how to
do 1t, as 1t was impossible for any man
to climb the crag, in order to set seed
or plants In the clefts Of the rock.
A happy idea struck my father.
Having observed in front of tho castle
q pair of small cannon, used for firing
salutes on great days, 1t occurred to
him to turn them to account.
A tinsmith in the village was Or
dered to make number Of canisters
with covers. The canisters were filed
with all sorts Of suitable tree seeds.
The cannon was loaded, and the can
listers were fred up against the high
face of the rock. They burst, and
scattered the seed in all directions.
Some years after, when my father
revisited the place, he was delighted
to find that his scheme Of planting by
artillery had proved completely sue
cessful; the trees were hourishing
luxuriantly In all the recesses Of the

Death in : Iaon.. Dsn.

Tho shocking death OF d female
tanner of wild beasts IL reported from
Hohenmuth, in Bohemia. she was a
girl % years old, named Bertha Raum-
gartner. During q public performances
In q strolling menagerie she entered
an empty cage, and the door of an ad-
joining cage was then opened to let a
lion and a Bengal tiger enter. The
lion walked In quietly, but the tiger, q
ferocious beast, which had three times
wounded its keeper, cropched in the
doorway. and showed temper. The
girl lost nerve, cried for help and
slipped. AS she did SO the tiger made
a spring, bit her on the shoulder, then
In the throat, literally rent her to
pieces and tossed her body about. Half
the audience ran to the doors n hor-
ror, while the attendants tried 10 beat
off the tiger by polxing. hot irons into
tho cage. But the girl was deed lang
before the animal was driven away.
The lion seemed to have been as much
frightened as the human spectators, as
he took no part In the carnage. The
proprietor Of the show has since ad.
mitted that this same tiger had already
killed two people.-Chicago Journal.

was private secretary TO Senator Stan.
ford. She was q brilliant brunette,
Her husband had gone with her ON :
vacation, but he had been recalled.
She and Stevenson fell In love
at first sight. Their literary and
personal tastes ran in the same char,
neis, and the author spent much time
in her company. Whom she left fol
home it was understood that she was
to get divorce from her husband by
means OF the easy processes of the
California courts, and when this was
accomplished Stevenson would come
out to the Golden Htate md sp,s,]xe 40,
his wife. When Osborne was told -oj
the desire Of his wife he made no OBJ
lection, and even gave his wife all che
aid in his power. The result was thai
she obtained her freedom. -
Then the tidings were sent to the
distant lover, and he prepared to come
out in the west for his inamorata.
Stevenson engaged passage In the
steerage of one of the great ocean
lines, with the design of writing up
his experience. He had sorry time
among the emigrants. This experience.
however, didn't cure him, as he took
passage In an emigrant car and crossed
the plains in that fashion. This was
worse than the steerage trip. and the
journey consumed two weeks.
When Stevenson reached San Fran
cisco he was q sorry object. Fonl air
and poor food had reduced his strenp 9th
and he was semi-invalid. He Yves
received, however, with open arms.
as soon as ne was cleaned up by q
series Of sulphur baths the wedding
Osborne gave away the bride, his
ex-wlfe, with the heartiness Of manner
that might have been expected in, the
most disinterested person, while he
capped the climax by introducing 10
the bride and groom handsome and
styllshly dressed young woman as his
atfianced wife. The marriage feast
was very gay.
soon aIter stevenson went with his
bride TO q deserted camp on Howell
mountain to recuperate his health.
There he wrote the book which he
called 'The Silverada Squstters.
1t is q curious fact that Osborne. to
whose good nature Stevenson was in.
debted for his wife, disappeared shortly
after his second marriage, and no one
has ever heard Of him since. The
dashing young woman whom he
welded remained here several months
after Samuel deserted her, w;hen She.
