A Stylisl, Ghost.

The traditional costume Of ghost is
plain white sheet thrown carclcssly
about the form and partially envelop-
ing the head and face. Occasionally Il
spectre has tried the effect of n buffalo
robe, but it has not been successful
enough to warrant its adoption by
ghosts in general. 1t has remained for
a ghost at Paterson, y. j., to depart
from the usual pnritanical simplicity of
ghostly garb and appear in dress cut
dccollete, with train and tullc pufiings
and ribbon loops This ghost walked
about on thin air and raised il fearful
row among some mortals it happened
to meet. What it wanted it did not
state, but was probably looking for a

coat and low-cut vest.-Texas Siftings.

and remind her that it was hardly best

her woes.

AN EDUCATED ECHO.
The Surprise that Awaited Some Tourists
in Scotland.

The Surprise that Awaited Some Tourists
in Scotland.
In the course of last summer some
strangers of distinction were induced to
visit a wild and unfrcquented retreat
in distant part of the highlands, chief
ly from the report they heard of an
echo which was remarkable for the
clear and distinct nature of it's rever-
beration.
On reaching the spot whence the trial
of its powers is usually made, their
guide put his hands to the side of his
month and bawled out with the lungs
of Il Stentor a salutation of in Gaelic,
which was repeated with !; precision
that seemed beyond the expectations
of the party
One of the gentlemen, by way of try
ing the strength of his voice, put his
hand to the side of his mouth in the
same manner as his guide and called
out:
"How far are we from homer"
These words, much to the surprise of
their guide, were also repeated, when
poor Donald, with n simplicity which
brought n smile over the faces of all
present, exclaimed;
You may think it strange, gentle
men, but this is the first time | ever
heard our echo speak English"
81 have no doubt" said the gentle
man, but it can repeat other languages
if You put it to the test" and instantly
bawled ont some brief questions in
French, Spanish and Italian
Donald looked more dazed than ever.
"Well, must say that's very queer
My own father and my own self have
known that echo for more than seventy
years, and we never knew it use any
language but Gaelic before"
"Your echo is more learned, then,
than you supposcd?" said the gentle
man, laughing though at n loss whether
to impute Donald's remarks to archncss
or simplicity.
"You may say that, SIR" said the poor
fellow, with an expression of earnest
ness that was highly amusing TO those
present, but as the echo has never
been out of the country where can she
have got oil her cducation?"-Bosto

They Arose.

During Bishop Newman's missionary
trip around the world awhile ago he
spent some time in India. One day
lot of native pastors were called to.
gcther to hear the bishops views on the
best methods of carrying on evangelical
work. Native converts, according to
the missionaries, are apt to think they
know just what to do and are perfectly
qualified to get along without advice.
Bishop Newman began his talk, but
WAS constantly interrupted by the ma
tive brethren, who jumped up one after
another to remark that they thought
this or that would be preferable.
Now. look here" finally exclaimed
the bishop. losing his patience a little,
"if any of you think You can conduct
this meeting better than can you will
please rise" There was silence for n
moment as the bishop glanced around
the room. Then four of the brethren
gravely rose and waited to be counted

Why He Called Ills Parrot Money,

There was q man at the Lake Erie
depot and he had Il parrot of which he
seemed very pround, and with good rea-
son, for it was an accomplished lin
guist. There was also an observer"
there, one of those persons who call
themselves philosophers and students
of human nature. Quoth he to his COM
panion: There is n curious fact in re-
lation to parrots. Nearly all are pos
sessed of the same name. Now, I'll bet
