COURTS HIS WIFE's sPooK.
An Iowa Mans Appreciation ofthe
Presence of His Wife's Ghost.

An Iowa Mans Appreciation ofthe
Presence of His Wife's Ghost.
A refusal of husband to cremate the
remains of his wife has, according to his
story, entailed upon him haunt by her
disappointed spirit. Mrs. Y. was viva.
cions brunette aud an eSthetic woman,
always abreast of the times. The idea
of cremation won her most enthusiastic
support in moment, and, being So
ciety lady, with little else to do but
crafty her whims, she allowed the new
scheme for diSpoSing of the dead to ent
thuse her. 1t took so much of her at
tentiOn from her devoted husband that
he grew jealous, as it were, OF the innO-
walton. He grew to hate it more on rhe
ground of its diyorcing his Wife'S devO-
ton from him than aught else.
Suddenly she died, and OH her death
bed made him promise to cremate her
corpse. She talked until the last mo-
ment of how her spirit would delight in
Watching the urn containing her ashes
on her husbands mantel, but vowed
she would haunt Mr.. Y. if he was Nh
true to his promise. 1t was even said
that her longing to become subject for
the furnace actually FASTENED her
death. The husband, however. spurned
the thought of giving all that was NOR
tai of his adored wife to the cause that
he believed had robbed him of his dar-
ling, and, placing the remains in costly
casket. he had her quietly buried. He
kept their chamber. where the urn was
to have been, sacred to her memory and
his own use. Two negro servants were
employed to live in the basement and
take care of the house.
After few nights the colOred man.:
wife awakened him with the eyclama-
ton: Mrs. VS. up stairS.o He laughed
at it at first, but, after listening little
while, was convinced she was right.
Mrs. Y. seemed pouring ont a torrent of
invectiye and reproach against him,
which was varied by a smart contro
yersy. In the morning he appeared
with haunted look i'll his eyes, and
face paIid. The spook kept getting
worse every night. until finally they
heard struggle and a sound as of glass
breaking. They rushed up, and, break
ing into the room, found him struggling
with an imaginary foe.
The debris of lot Of vases that had
stood on the mantel were Strewn about
the floor. The next day he complained
to friend of his trouble, stating that
his wife haunted him every night. He
was ABUSED to have her remains taken
up and cremated, but says he would
rather have the company of her spirit
than none if the phantom would only
desist from pulling hair and breaking
furniture.

TANNING A BIRD.
The Best Way to Make a Bird
Fearless and Familiar.
Home Maker.

Home Maker.
No creature is more jealous or sensi-
tive than a bird, says Olive ThOrne
Miller. 1t is easy, however, to win the
heart of almost any bird, and without
starving him or making him think he
has mastered you. Simply talk to him
a good deal. Place his cage near you.
on your desk or workable, and retain
his choicest dainty to give to him
with your own fingers. Let him
know that he can never have that
particular thing unless he takes it from
Y on, and heswill soon learn, if you are
patient aud do not disconcert him by
fixing your eyes upon him. After this
he will more readily take it from your
lips: and then, when you let him out
of his cage. after the first excitement is
over, he wiIK come to you, especially If
you have call you have accustomed
him to, and accept the dainty from YOU
while free. As soon as he becomes
really convinced that you will not hurt
him, or try to catch him. or interfere in
any way with his liberty, he will give
way to his bonndless curiosity about
you; he will pull your hair. pick at
your eyes, and give you as much OF his
company as you desire.

FOR A CELESTIAL.
A French Syndicate Donates Six
Railway Carriages to the En-
nepor Of China


Railway Carriages to the En-
peror Of China.
SPECIAL to the Globe
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-Charles Den
by, United States minister at Picking,
has reported to Secretary of State Bay
ard under date of Nov. 26, 1888, that the
chief of French syndicate in China
has presented to the emperor of China,
six railway carriages, built in France,
on which the arts of French construc-
ton and decoration have been ex-
pended. Three of the carriages are
handsomely fitted up in yellow, green
and blue satin, with all neces-
sary sleeping and toilet arrangements.
and are intended for the private use OF
the emperor, empress and high court
officials. The other three are for their
majesties' attendants and guests. The
estimated cost of the six carriages is
about 10000 francs. They came to
Tung Chow, about fourteen miles dis
tant from Picking, by water. and will be
brought to the latter city by portable
rails. They were first to be taken to
the imperial city and be drawn by
eunuchs over small line to be laid
down there. in order that their males
ties may realize in measure the COM
fort of travelling over rails. Afterwards
a small line will be built in the imperial
pleasure grounds. about two miles ia
length, when all the carriages will be
employed and propelled by small en-
CINE constructed for that purpose.

The new president is credited with
the statement to senator that it will
not be the policy of the administration
to remove Democrats now in Office, but
let them serve out their terms, except
ing the efficiency of the service. There
is little question that this is the general
intention of Gen. HARRISON, but the
pressure of less Scrupulous partisans
will probably persuade vacancies more
numerously than any public eXigency
really necessitates.

NEW MEXICO.

New Mexico seems in solid earnest in
its demand to come in as state, and is
certainly good deal better fitted for it
than she was some fifteen years ago,
when the Republicans pulled her nearly
through the door. Their recent conyen-
ton resolved that they had 10000 p0pu-
lation, not counting Indians, about
1,400 miles of railroad, and were grow
ing and improving rapidly. But as no
p ledge was given to vote the Republican
ticket. it is doubtful if the population
has the requisite intellectual develop
ment for state.

Judge Advocate General Swain
Should Be Dismissed and Not
Retired.

Retired.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-The army re-
firing board examining Judge Advocate
General d. G.. Swain for retirement met
at the war department at 2 o'clock this
afternoon. After the recorder had read
the record of yesterdays proceedings
Gen. Merely questioned the advlsa-
bility of further proceedings, since Gen.
Swain had acknowledged that he was
not incapacitated. The recorder read
from the instructions to the board
by the adiutant general, and
Gen. MacFeely withdrew his objections.
The medical officers then presented
their report of the results of the physi-
cal examination, which the recorder did
not read. The president. Gen. Benet,
asked Gen. Swain if he wished to make
any statement before the board, and he
replied that he would like to do So and
requested that the visitors be excluded
from the room, which was done. The
examination of Gen. Swain was con-
Guided this afternoon, and the board adj
journed sine die. They will make re-
port to the secretary of war tomorrow.
and the case will be prepared for the
presidents action. 1t is understood
that the board will report in favor of
Gen. Swaim's retirement, nOtwithstand-
ing some of the members are said to be
# the opinion that his present dlsablll-
ties are not serious enough to lncapac-
itate him from further active service.

In most sections January is rather a
dull business month. but in Boston it is
one of the most active. as it is the time
for clipping coupons. 1t is stated that
the dividends taken IN there this month
amount to SO, 500. 900. an average of $50
for every human being counted in the

that they get an equal share. There ares

TURNING OUT TO THE LEFT.
An Imported English Fashion

An Imported English Fashion
That Promises to Make Driving
Dangerous. ill
New York Sun.
There is new fashion in park driv-
ing which will cause trouble if persisted
in. A large number of coach and saddle
horses have been imported from En-
gland within few years. Many of the
imported horses are kept in New York,
and are now driven by their owners in
the daily park parades. The young men
who have not English-b0rn horses try
to get their own horses up in imitation
of them, with clipped names, banged
tails and English harness. Young men
who drive dog carts take especial pride
in having their horses, carts and men as
English as importation OF imitation can
make them.
Some bright young man has discoy-
cred the way to tell the real English ar
ticle from the imitation. and other young
men are taking advantage of his discoy-
cry as fast as they learn it, though the
knowledge has not become general yet.
Horses have habits as much as men. A
horse that has been used to doing things
in certain way in his youth wants TO
pursue it when he grows, up. In Eng
land drivers turn to the left in passing,
instead Of to the right, as in this coun-
try. AS an Ameriean-bred horse in
stinctiyely turns to the right, an Eng
liSh horse turns to the left. Some
young man noticed this and told his
friends. 1t is now the correct thing for
young man with an English horse in
driving to pass to the left.
When other young men who haven't
English horses learn this they may try
to turn their horses to the left, too. 1t
will not be easy, for many American
horses will recent being forced to adopt
English customs. 1t will not be safe
thing to attempt unless there is an I'M
derstanding between both drivers. Ii
you see to young men struggling to pass
ON the left when their horses want to 90
on the right, you may know that they
are not ignorant OF the law of the road,
but that they want to be as fashionable
as other young men with real English
horses.

Better for the state.
LIE Sueur Sentinel.

The St. Paul ice palace has finally been
abandoned for this year, but the st. Paul
papers have not yet decided which is the bet
ter for the state-to publish to the world that
the winter has been too mild to form ice for
a palace, or to have winter of polar temp
perature and an ice palace. The latter view
is wholly for the benefit of st. Paul, because
it drops thousands OF doll ars in the laps of
the business men there. But it should not
be difficult to decide which is better for the
state-a winter of moderate temperature,
which demonstrates that the climate is not
alone tolerable for man, but really delight
full, and great saving to the Door in cloth
ing and fuel; or an inhospitable climate that
advertises piles of ice as the chief attraction,
if not the leading product of the state.

promises were made to the temperance peo-

nothing will satisfy neither party. TO do
anything positively for either will make
trouble with the other The keeping or the

paign in this matter will inevitably tell upon
their future. Do right if the heavens fall,
