around the fence, sometimes both together and
sometimes ono Of them alone. The door of
their bed room was locked after that and the
dwelling was not haunted any more.
The same Waterman tells about another ex-
perience he had with q ghost when he was
boy. He lived in Ohio then and his father was
country clergyman of Presbyterian faith-a
stern and practical man. whom his son never
dared to disobey. About two miles from where
they resided was a lonely house by tho road
side, which was deserted because it was reputed
to be haunted by the apparition of q peddler
who had been murdered on the premises. One
dark night the narrator of the tale was sent his
parent to fetch a doctor for a parishioner near
by who was sick. On the way be was obliged
to pass the haunted place. 1t did not occur to
him TO be afraid until. on coming near the de-
serted house he saw u large and shapeless white
object not far from the road. 1t was moving
object and unaccountable enough to fill the
boys mind with dread. He would have turned
bach, but he knew that if he did SO he would be
beaten for disobedience and sent off again on
the same Grand So he made up his mind that
there was nothing to be done but to make q
dash past with all the speed that the beast he
bestrode was capable of. So he struck his heels
into the animal.
What was his terror on arriving almost op-
posite the ghost to see it suddenly rise into the
air and come toward him. Not only that but
it spread out into gigantic shape as it ap-
preached. making q dreadful whirring noise.
AS the horse and terrified rider fed by the
specter scattered itself in all directions with
vociferous squawks. 1t was only a flock OF
white geese.

Flies as Cholera Bearers,


The evidence against flies as propagators Of
disease is accumulating TO a most disturbing
extent (writes the London correspondent of the
Manchester GUARDIAN. Before the days Of
bacteriology no conclusive facts could be
brought forward directly discriminating them as
the carriers Of infection. but just the opposite
is now the case, and numerous unequivocal re-
suits have been arrived at showing the import
ant part which these insects play in this con-
nectlon. The most recent charge which has
been formulated against them is that which was
laid before the Hamburg Medical Society with
respect to the conveyance of cholera infection.
Nine flies were captured which had been in
contact with infected cholera material and were
placed in TASKS containing nutrient gelatine.
In six of the nine vessels numerous colonies of
comma baciili were successfully cuitivated-of
course, from the infection conveyed by the
flies. The possibility, therefore, Of falling q
victim to cholera in this way, even after every
precaution had been taken, is by no means
pleasant to contemplate.

wonted appearance yesterday. The settlement
OF the strike saved New Orleans from incalcu-
liable disaster. Twenty-Five thousand men in
fifty different trades went back to work at a
signal But the most ludicrous thing in this
extraordinary demonstration of organized labor
Is that the car drivers, who we're getting $50 a
month Tor twelve hours daily work before the
strike. have gone back to work at Gao month
for sixteen hours daily. The car drivers struck
out OF sympathy, having no grievance Of their
own. The merchants agreed to arbitrate the

found that their places we're already filed. The
strike has cost over 81 ,00O, 900.

The Dimpie in Her Cheek.
She sat by the hearthstone knitting. her gown was
anun-.Se gray,
And the glossy bands OF her chestnut hair were
soberly smoothed away;
With nimbly flying fingers, and eyes demure and
meek,
Tn ere was no sign Of miscnief-save the dimple in
her cheek.
He loved he7 from distance, but thought her cold
and prim.
The crown Of chestnut tresses. the fingers white
and slim,
He loved, but his devotion he did not dare to
speak,
Because he CHANGED to overlook the dimple in her
cheek.
And SO the years were passing; month after month
they sped;
And still they found him single, and she remained
unwcd.
HIS love he hid securely, for fear Of slight and
scorn,
Until he came and found his fate that frosty winter
She knitted on demurely; he stood beside the door;
The ball of yarn fell from her lap and rolled upon
the floor.
He fastened to restore n-up sprang the kitten
feet,
To chase the bail, and soon the yarn was wound
about his feet
lie colored in confusion. her eyes Of mirth were
full.
She silly laughed "Youre caught" she said,
within a web of WOOL"
Then down the curling lashes dropped: her eyes
again were meek,
But IN fash he saw it then--the dimple in her
cheek.
His heart grew bold within him; the ice was fairly
broken,
And in the twinkle of an eye the earnest words
were spoken
'Oh, Gladys, dearest Gladys, now listen, pray, to
me
A lifelong captive In your web-how blest the fate
would be-"
The pretty fingers trembled; the chestnut head
bent low;
Unchecked the kitten rolled the ball and chased it
to and fro.
Although the family smiling lips syllable would
speak,
His suit was won-he saw it by the dimple in her
cheek.

The question relating to the qualifications of
applicants for positions as teachers in the pub
lie schools was disposed of at a long and windy
session of the board of education of Detroit
Thursday night. In place Of the ti-Cathohc
resolution adopted some time ago, which pro-
yided that only graduates of Detroit public
schools should be employed teachers, it was
decided that teachers must either be graduates
of the Detroit training school or they must
have substituted two hundred days after hav-
ing passed an examination which would entitle
them TO admission in the training school. or
they must give to the committee on teachers
and schools satisfactory evidence of having
taught successfully elsewhere for three years.
