years ago down in the good old Lone

Well, sir, it's bigger'n that, bigger by a
right smart, an my hand amt no baby's

There amt no limit to his hearin'.
I've knowcd him to hear two thousand
miles in air line. Last spring he stood
on the front porch at home an counted
the cannon shots what was fired as Pres
ident Harrison come up tho harbor at
the Washington centennial. He heercd
the breakin' O the dam what caused the
flood in the Conemaugh valley. lie
didn't know what it was at the time. He
said 1T sounded like thunder, but he
knew it warn't thunder, an we was all
mighty puzzled till the papers told us
what it was. There's a big storm on
the gulf he says, an sure enough in q
day or two comes news of great waves
an shipwrecks. It's rainin' in Cali
fornia,' he says, an by an by we hear of
a storm over there. There's cyclone
in Kansas he says, an cyclone it is, a
thousan' miles away. It's a comm this
way he says, an we get ready to dive
into our cellars. Il hear two engines
crash together on railroad over there
he says, an he points in the direction Of
the sound an we get map an mark it
down, an next morning read all about
the accident in the papers, just where
he said it was. Amt that wonderful

with our ordinary years, can't hear it no

1t Is Frequently Visited by the Ghost Of a
Screaming Queen.
Here says a writer in AL the Year Round
is the mysterious haunted gallery connect

royal chapel. The gallery is haunted, it is
said, by the shrieking ghost of Queen Cath
crime Howard. The Queen was fascnat-
ing, deceitful, delightful little creature, who
had been sadly neglected in her youth and
corrupted by debasing cOmpanionship, but
full Of the delight of life and shrinking SEN
sitiyely from every touch Of pain. Yester
DAY she had been the petted toy of her cruel
husband; to-day she was doomed to the fear
ful fate that awaited HHrry's discarded
wives In the horror Of her position, sur
rounded by rough and brutal soldiers of
the X ng's guard, she found 4 momcntary
chance Of escape, and rushing through the
long gallery ran to seek her husband, who
was at that moment hearing mass in the
CHAPEL, TO cling to his knees, 10 soften with
hes tears that heart of adamant. The guards
at their utmost speed followed the poor, dis
tracted creature. Just as she reached tho
Kings closet they overlook her and dragged
her back, her frenzed screams resoundng
through the palace The gallery is now
used as kind Of lumber room, but still the
shr.eks OF the agonized Queen are 10 be
heard at times. Anyhow in Ernest Laws

Sufferers are not generally aware
that these diseases are contagious, or
that they are due to the presence of

and the result of this discovery is
that simple remedy has been form

simple applications made at home
by the patient once in two weeks.
