Phantom Images.

According to an English provincial paper,
q Mr. Cash, board schoolmastar, and Mr..
Pringie, solicitor, were out photographing,
and plate was exposed on river view near
Ipswich When the plate was developed,
there wes plainly revealed, in the fore
ground Of the picture, the figure Of a woman
apparently floating upright in the water, as
it Is declared that drowned bodies sometimes

side Of the body, which is clad in ordinary
female attire, and is visible to the waist; and
the portrait generally appears TO be that Of

The schoolmaster and solicitor, apparently
thinking there was some peculiar phantom in
the river invisible 70 the eye, but able TO i'm
press the plate, took q chief Of police into
their council, and the collective wisdom OF
the three took the form Of trying TO capture
the phantom by dragging the river. In COM

presses the opinion that possibly by this time
Messrs. Cash, Pringle, and the chief Of police
have learned that phantom images on gela-
tine plates are not extremely rare, as mi

Lick's Flour Palace.

Mr.. Lick was never married, but, like
many Of the bachelors, as Shakespeare in
differently called the members Of either sex,
he had his experience.
One Of his apparently une1plafnable freaks
in California was TO build mill, which was
ceiled with mahogany and other beautiful
woods and finished in the most expensive
style.
There seemed to be 10 reason for this form
Of extravaganza folly until a little romance
of his early life came out.
Before he went to learn the organ making
business he had been apprenticed to wealthy
miller in Pennsylvania who had q pretty
daughter.
Lick wa. comely and plucky youth and
the two fell in love.
Full of hope and the prospect Of happiness,
the young man applied TO the girls father,
giving him full information as to both their
wishes. Whereupon the rich Pennsylvania
Dutchman became indignant and secuted the
idea, e1claining:
"Out, you beggar Dare you cast eyes
upon my daughter, who win inherit all my
property Have you mill like thisi Have
you single penny in your pursef'
To this TRADE the poor youth could only re-
pay tnaC Just then he hadnl, out ne added
that the day would come when be would have
& mill compared with which that one would
be nothing more than pig sty.
he left the miller, but he never forgot the
cruel words. So, after ne had become not
only rich, but millionaire, he built this mill,
and when it was finished it had everything
that could have added to the perfection Of its
appointment.
It's machinery was perfect and It's walls and
floor of the very highest polish
he was not able to bring the miller to see
fulfllment of his boyish declaration, but hs
had the mill photographed in every possible
way; within and without, and although his
old sweetheart had long since been married,
he sent her father the pictures and recalled to
him the day when be had boasted Of his mill

The Name of Iowa.

The state derives its name from the tribe
known now as the Iowa tribe Much learn
ing, or ct least research, has been wasted in
the attempt 10 show the orthogTaphy and
definition OK this word among the Indians
themselves While Washington Irving. with
the license allowable TO an imaginative writer,
states that the meaning of the word is beau
tiful," and recounts the incident by which
that phrase was first applied to the country,
SAYING that the tribe who In their wander
ings arrived at the highest point in the Iowa
prairies, looking over the vast expanse OF
country uninterrupted by hills or sTaups,
involuntarily uttered the word Iowa, F"
meaning beautiful"
But probably 4 better authority for the
meaning OF the word was Mr.. Antoine lie
Claire, half breed Of the Sac" and Fox
nations, WHO always asserted dangerously that
that be was the first white man born IN Iowa,
though bis mother was an Indian He was
employed for many years by the United
States as an interpreter in their dealings with
the various Indian tribes His definition Of
the word ives, Here is the spot-this is the
place-to dwell in peace" It Is very certain.
however, that tue name OF the state, and the
name Of one Of its secondary rivers, running
through a large part Of the center Of the
state, is derived from the name OF the tribe

QUEER QUESTiONS.

Centuries ago Samson proposed riddle

Philistines, allowing them week In which to
answer it, length of time that would have
been insufficient but for the assistance OF
Samson's wife.
Hiram, king Of Tyre, had a mania for con-

Archimedes, the famous mathematician OF
Syracuse, passed most Of his lelsure-to the
surprise Of many Of his friends-in the pro-

nothing but the solution OF puzzle.

the singular circumstance in different ways

more when there was live fish in it.

The Reform School Cottage.

AUGUSTA, July 24-When the committee
opened the bids for the new building to be
erected at the Reform School under the scot
tage SYSTEM" the last legislature having ap-
propriated $4,000 for the purpose, it was
found that the lowest bid was $4,000, $4,000
more than the appropriation. This necessi-
tated change of the plans, and the new
plans having been perfected so as to come
within the limits of the appropriation, it is
expected that the contr act will be given to
one Of the old bidders, and work commenced
at an early day
