In the early history of the European &
North American railroad the female pas
sengers did not enjoy that exemption from
the annoyance OF tob eco smoke v hlch /,
now accorded them. Among them on one
trip was an elderly lady of stern counte-
nance and an elevated nose, whose wholt
affection seemed to center in a mongre
little cur which she held in her lap anc
favored with many tender eRdearments. A
little way in front of her sat a "grea
horrid man" industriously and peacefully
putting large cigar. The wrathful lad,
viewed him for a time In cold dispeasurc
and then stalking majestcully down tho

nothing, but quietly picked up newspape

Tho IIoIe in the Wall.

A gentleman who has recently returned
from quite long trip through "the land OF
the Aztecs" has been giving some interest
ing details OF his experiences to his friends.
Among other things he said that when he
was in the City of Mexico he was shown
through some ancient buildings conyents
and Jails-that were erected by the Span
iards several centuries ago. In the wall Of
one of these ancient edifces he saw a small
opening; so he naturally inquired OF his
Mexican guide what purpose it served. He
was told that II was one Of those buildings
in which criminals were walled up alive.
"But what was the use Of the hole in the
WALT" he asked. "Well, senor," replied
the guide, "as long as the prisoner lived his
food was handed TO him on a plate and he
handed back the empty plate through the
hole; but when the prisoner handed back
the plate with the food on it untouched then
the jailer knew that he was dead already
and didn't give him any more"

A GOOD BEAR STORY.
But Unfortunately II Has n Very Sad ai
unsntinfactorY Ending.

Unsatisfactory Ending.
Many years ago a New Hampshire Roy
found very young bear cub near Lake
Winnipiseogee, and carried IL home with
him. 1t was fed and brought up about the
house Of the boys father, and became a.
tame as dog, says the New York Ledger
Every day its youthful captor had 10 go L
. school at some distance, and by degrees
the bear became his daily companion. Al
first the other scholars were shy Of the
creatures acquaintance, but ere long it be
came their regular playfellow, and they dc
lighted In sharing vii h it the little store OF
provisi ns which they brought for theii
days sustenance in small bags. After two
years Of civilization, however, the bear wan
dered to the woods, and did not return.
Search was made for him, but in vain.
Four succeeding years passed away, and
in the interval changes had occurred about
the school alluded to. An cid dame had
succeeded to the ancient master, and new
generation Of pupils had taken the place O.
the former ones. One very cold winter
day, while the school-mistress was bus.
with her humble lessons, boy chanced {,
leave the door half open on his re-entrance
and suddenly large bear walked in. The
CONSERVATION of the old lady and her BOYS
and girls was unspeakable. Both school
mistress and pupils would fain have been
"abroad," but the bear was in the path, ar {
all that could be done was to fly as far of
as possible, and hide behind the benches.
But the bear troubled nobody. He walked
quietly up to the fireplace and warme,
himself, exhibiting much satisfaction in hn
countenance during the process. He rc.
mained thus about quarter of an hour
and then walked up to the wall where liz,
provender bags aud baskets of the pupil
were suspended. Standing on his hind fee
he then took hold of these successfully, pui
his paws into them and made free with thu
bread, fruit and other eatables therein con
tanned. He next tried the school-mistress
desk, where some little provisions usually
were; but finding it firmly shut, he went
up again to the fire, and after a few min
utes' stay before it he walked out by the
way he came.
AS soon as the school-mistress and her
pupils had courage to move, the alarm was
given to the neighbors. Several young
men Immediately started after the bear.
and as its track was perfectly visible in the
snow, they soon came up with it and killed
it. Then 1t was that, by certain marks upon
its skin, some of its pursuers recognized in
the poor bear no enemy, but an old friend OF
their own recent school days. Great regret
was felt for the death of the creature. II
was like killing human friend rather than
a wild animal

ALL. KINDS OF GHOSTS.
Monsters and Guardians Invented by Va
riOus Races of Men.

Monsters and Guardians Invented by Va
rious Races of Men.
I have been in almost every country in
the world, says a writer in the New y ork
Mail and Express, and everywhere hav,
found people who have seen and believe in
ghosts. In western countries ghosts are
generally harmless, but In Asia and Africa
they are of malignant aud vicious type.
The dread of ghosts is common TO all abo-
riginal races OF India and China, and the
only means employed to oppose their rancor
and mischievous dispositions is to build
shrines for them and TO make them offer
ings. Any severe illness, any epidemic d s-
ease, as smallpox, cholera, etc, is attrib-
uted to the malignancy of certain of these
spirits, who must be proptiated accord.
ingly. In India the man tiger is, perhaps
the most dreaded of all these demon ghosts
for when tiger has killed man the tiger
CONSIDERED saIe. from narul, as the spirit
If the man rides upon his head aud guides
i'm clear Of danger. Accordingly it is be-
ieved that the only sure mode of destroy
ng tiger who has killed many people is /,
,egin by making offerings TO the sp rits o.
lis victim, thereby depriving HIM of theii
valuable services. In China the ghosts mos
oropltiated are of those who have me

die in child-bed or wretches who are hanged
for their crimes are believed to have the
same power of causing evil tu the living as
those VINO have been killed by any other
Iiolent causes, including poison, disease,
lightning, etc. All IL ese deiiied sDirts
lre often distinguished by some term de
noIing the mann OF their death. Thus
the "tiger ghost' is the ghost of man
killed by tiger; the "snake ghost" III
ghost OF a person who was killed by a
snake. In Africa the "waday" ana Slight
ming" ghosts are the most common, but
the most dreaded spirit is the Sirocco ghost,
which is reputed by the natives an implaca-
lie spirit. Most OF the deceased persons
whose spirits are now worshiped were the
ancestors OF some of the aborigines.
The ceremonies observed In prolitiatinP
he ghosts consist mainly of the offerings
f fowls, pigs, goats, as well as of flowers
md fruits, of the recitation and singing {
certain prayers and charms before the d1.
erent shrines. These charms orprayer
ire addressed to the deified ghosts OF th'
lead for the purpose of compelling tho
spirits to oesisT from doing harm or 10 ap-
)ear and receive the orde of the per-
'ormers. After two or three successive
performances the ghost is understood 10 be
