Dress In the Middle Ages.

As to dress in medieval Europe plain
leather and wooden served for all ranks,
except on splendid ceremonials. Examine
the figures of the knights on the floor OF
the antechapel in the Temple church in
London. The originals of those forms were
not brothers of the order or bound to pow
erty. They were the proudest and most
powerful of the English peers. Yet their
armor is without ornament save the plain
device on the shield The cloak is the
lightest and simplest. The heavy sword
hangs from a leather belt, fastened with an
ordinary harness buckle. AS those knights
Lie there, SO they moved when they were
alive, and when hard blows were going
they had an ample share of them.
No fact of history is more certain than
that the peasants born on the great baronies
looked up to those lords of theirs with real
and reverent affection-very strange if one
party in the contract had nothing but hard
ship and the other was an arbitrary tyrant.
Custom dies hard, and this feeling of feudal
loyalty has fingered into our own times
with very little to support it.-Froudes

Marriages of Consanguinity.

Dr. Regnault, in a paper read before the
French Association for the Advancement
OF Science at Pau, observed that there are
TWO varieties of consanguinity. In the
hrst, two near blood relations married.
This has been prohibited at all times and
In nearly all nations. To the second, the
customary intermarriage of the natives OF
adistrict, he applied the term topograph-
zeal consanguinity. In certain races in
North America, Australia and elsewhere
this is forbidden.
DIR. Regnault sees traces of this practice
In the civilized world. The more the in
haoltants of district intermarry, the more
severe are they against the intermarriage
OF blood relations. This is seen in remote
villages. On the other hand in towns
Where the citizens can and do readily mar
ry elsewhere. they trouble little about the
marriage of cousins. In feudal times trav-
eiing was very difficult. The commonalty
mad to marry natives of their own district.

What Pride Is Doing For Girls.

Pride is driving the girls out of then
natural domestic sphere into the CONNER
cial, business world, where the men for SC
long fancied they held an exclusive monop
oily. And it is only natural that young
women prefer to dress neatly and fill posi-
tions where they can see what is going OF
in the world rather than to wear soiled
aprons and stay in the kitchen, where ths
range OF vision depends upon the size of ths
back window. Social caste DEGREES that

A winter Thunderstorm at Sen.

The steamship Fulwell, now anchored
at the old quarantine, encountered very
beautiful marine phenomenon in the
shape of an electrical storm on her voy-
age from Bremen TO this port.
The electrical display occurred after
dark, Dec. 2e. The most peculiar part
Of the occurrance was that while the
lightning flashed genuine winter gale
was blowing furiously and the sea was
running very high.
The storm lasted about two hours, and
Captain Gibson states, was the most re-
markable he ever witnessed. The ship
at times seemed ablaze fore and aft, and
while no damage was done it was thought
the vessel had been struck several times.
Captain Gibson says that the very
beauty OF the scene was awful. The
blackness Of the night was converted
into unsurpassed brilliancy. The very
ocean seemed ablaxe. and the waves as
they dashed upon one another resembled
tongues Of fire, The men of the Full
well, all tried seamen, acknowledged
that the sight was one TO make the stout
est heart tremble. .-Baltimore Sun.

A GHOST CLUB.

Weird and Blood CurdiiDg Meeting Plsce
of . Remarkable Organization
Claiming as its birthplace the city Of
Charlottesville is the famous Ghost club,
OF, to use the name with which 1t Is dig
nifed by its members, THE Society
TOR the Advancement Of the Belief In
Ghosts" This unique organization has
no parallel In the country. 1t Is radi-
cally different from the Spiritualistic
bands which can be found in any city, al
though it Is true that several of its men,
bers are confirmed Spiritualists. 1t was
formed upon All Halloween in 1887.
The qualification essential for member
ship Is personal experience on the part
of the candidate with spook. Mere be-
lief is not sufficient.
The Ghost lodge, OF clubroom, Is a
weird spot. II is room about 20 by 40
feet In the fouyh story Of one Of the
principal business blocks. Its windows
ON the north overlook Oak Hill cemetery,
while those on the west look directly
down into the jailyard. where four muir
derers have been hanged in as many
years. In the room itself occurred q
murder, many years ago, upon the very
night that 1t was dedicated as dance
hall, and the ghost of the promising
young man then slain is said frequently
10 revisit the scene of his untimely TAX
ing off.
From a scaffold on the same building q
painter fell some years later and was
dashed to death on the stones below,
while still later an old lady dropped dead
from heart disease while searching for
an erring son who was playing poker In
the hall, which was then gambling hell
These terrible associations had much
TO do with the selection Of the room, and
II was fitted up with ghastly decorations.
1t Is hung entirely In white. White
cheesecloth drapes the walls and ceiling
White canvas covers the floor, and even
the window glass is painted white. On
the other hand, every article of furni-
ture is as black as midnight, except such
paraphernalia as the skeletons. In each
corner of the room stands one of these,
and each has a duty to perform, for in
every skull there is q small lamp, with
q red glass chimney and these lamps
furnish the only light for the hall.
The table at which the president and
secretary sit is an old dissecting table,
bought long ago from the Indiana Med
ical college. The president calls the meet
ing to order by ringing large dinner
boa depsndfng from the srihny above
him. This bell was obtained from the
ruins Of farmhouse, in the conhagra-
ton Of which an infant perished, and in
order to ring 1t the president pulls the
rope with which John Henning
was hanged not 300 yards away, in 1887,
for the murder of his sweetheart.
The seats In the room were all made
from the timbers of the scaffold on
which HenninQ and three others were
hanged. There is a library OF about 300
books in the hall, all of which treat Of
ghosts and ghost life, and museum of
CHASTITY and curious things. York
