THE disembodied spirit does not al
ways appear in darkness and through a
medium. The account comes that in a
photograph taken of an old homestead
at Webster, Mass, recently appeared
something not provided for by the
photographer. When the negative was
developed there was revealed the face
of an aged woman looking out of a
window. There was no explanation of
this startling appearance, but the face
was recognized as that of the mother of
the owner of the house, dead for some
time. The window from which the face
appears looking was one by which the
old lady sat great deal when alive.

more prevalent among men than among
women, because the former are more
exposed to the vicisSitudcs of climate

FATIGUE should not he treated as a
light matter. Women often say: Il

equal to: make it rule to lie down
