GHOSTS AT HAMPTON COURT.
Tue ASPIRATIONS Still startle the Tnhabi-

Tue Apparitions Still startle the Tnhabi-
tants of the Place.
The ghosts at Hampton Court palace
still are said to frighten the inhabitants
and officials of the place, and even visit
ors, it is declared, are not exempt, sew
eral of them having terminated their
visits abb aptly owing to the noises they
have heard. A resident in the palace
sendg to the London Graphic an account
of an apparition seen by an attendant in
the gardens, who was sitting on bench
waiting for the inspector to pass on his
rounds at night, when suddenly he felt
hand laid upon his face, and looking
up saw tall, pale lady dressed in gray.
He sprang up at once. but she vanished
before his eyes, and the shock caused by
the apparition was so great that he had
to resign his post. He became so nerv-
GUS that he was absolutely afraid to re-
main in the gardens at night.
Nor are the ghosts confined to the gar
dens, for few nights ago two of the
maid servants, fancying they smelled
something burning, went down one Of
the staircases in the middle of the night
and met tall, pale lady with "a reflect
ed light on her face" and dressed in black
She, too, vanished through one Of the
queens gates, though the door itself was
shut, and no footsteps could be heard.
Other servants in the palace have been
visited by these royal ghosts. One serv-
ant declares that she felt something
come and touch her face in the dark
when she was asleep in bed, and another
maid sleeping in the next room called
out to her to ''leave off walking about
her room," as she heard footsteps NOV
ing about. Several visitors to the pal
ace have noticed extraordinary noises in
a particular room, and only a few
months ago two ladies were standing
talking near this room at about II 80 one
night when they heard loud crash and
saw brilliant light flash through the
room, sight which they could not &C
count for in any way. The Graphic's
informant is positive that no practical
joker is the author of the disturbances,
as has been suggested in some quarters.

A Claimants Revenge.

A good story is told Of stipendiary
magistrate in Yorkshire town, not
given to err on the side of leniency, who
heavily fined cabman for fast driving.
A few days after the magistrate, de-
tanned rather longer than usual in the
court, was hurrying along to catch his
train when, seeing an empty cab handy,
he hailed the driver and directed him to
proceed to the station, telling him that
he was pressed for time. The driver,
however, needless of the hint, kept to q
gentle trot. Il say, l say, my man,
exclaimed the fare, with his head out OF
the window, "drive faster than thisr
ut can't be done, sir, replied the driver.
Eye see, if we drives faster we're had
up afore the 'beak, and we gets fined
so we has to be careful" He did not
alter his pace, and neither did the ''beak'
catch his train.-London Tit-Bits.

Women USurers.

most trades and professions, but it is in
teresting, says the London Lady, and not
little startling to learn that they have
even taken to the doubtful one of usury.
"You would hardly credit" said a well
known solicitor recently, "what a huge
number of women money lenders there
are about" Many of them have small
private connections only, obliging femi-
nine friends or acquaintance pressed for
the amount of some dressmaker's or mil
liners bill with temporary loans at inter-
est. But there are others who go in for
it extensively and, in fact,
make quite HANDSOME income out Of it.

r...sa Drinking Water.

THE best water ever drank" writes
a correspondent, twas at Malta, where
it is collected on the fiat roofs, which
are most carefully cleaned preparatory
to the heavy fall of rain which takes
place when the weather breaks the first
or second week in September. Every
house has below it an immense tank,
often of the same area as the house, and
about 12 feet deep, and into this pours
the beautiful fresh water, which comes
up cool and sparkling when wanted"

CHAPTER TX.


1t would be thought that our common
straits would have drawn US into bond Of
sympathy. Here we were pair of for
lorn waits met on the high seas, each with
the marks OF dire misfortune behind, and
ahead such a prospect as might have made
us tremble and cling to each other for sup
port. But on one side at least there was
not that fellow feeling, which, according to
the poet, makes US wondrous kind. On the
contrary, there was a suspicion that came
very near TO aversion. Abram ben Alden
might he an injured saint, but his appear
ance rather suggested a villain down at
heel. So judged it best to keep my dis
ance and let him understand that famili-
arlty on the part of strangers was not
among the things l liked. My efforts to
give him that impression, however, were not
strikingly successful.
He was nightly surprised to find me
alone, and could not express his astonish-
ment when ne saw how the brig was laden.
Now, here is wonder beyond anything
man ever dreamed OFF, he exclaimed, with
a coyetous CLEAN on his lean, swarthy
face. You alone master of such riches as
this. By the holy Alborak, there must be
a tale here surprising in marvel any told
by Sheherazade!'
But was not to be taken in the snare Of
even so artful fowler as the Arab seemed
to be. Pretending to make light of his
wonder and ignoring his deft interroga-
tory, laid my hand on the hilt of my re-

A "BLUFF" THAT WORKED.

How a Little Man Avoided Fight With q
clustering Big One.
The big man was just drunk enough
to be spelling for a fight. That was
apparent to every one in the cafe. He
hadn't been there 10 minutes before he
picked quarrel with o man three
sizes smaller, who had been quietly
minding his own business in a corner
of the room.
"Sir, you We insulted me!'' exclaimed
the big man.
"You are mistaken, "quietly respond
ed the other.
You're a Iiar!'' Numbered tho big
man, "Snd if you know what that
means you'll fight.
Certainly, was the rejoinder, with
out q tremor of perturbation, "but it
must be after I've finished eating.
never allow trifes to interfere with my
dinner. Waiter, hurry up that porter
house steakl Never mind if it is a bit
rare"
The big man, nonplussed for tho time
being by such a display of GOODNESS, sat
down at table near by and glared at
his prospective victim. We all felt sor-
ry for him, but the big man looked dan
gerous, even if he was ''three sheets in
the Wind,' and we decided not to in
terfere.
When tho little mans steak came in,
he said something to the waiter. Two
minutes later the waiter said something
to the big man. 1t was noticed that he
didn't look quite so fierce after that,
and soon aftcrward, remarking with as
sumed carelcssncss that he would be
back in minute, he left the room.
Then some of us venturcd to suggest
to the little man that it was Il good OPP
portunity for him to skip" which,
considering the discrepancy in size be-
tween him and the man who had forced
a quarrel upon him, would involve no
disgrace.
"Much obliged for your good advice, y
said he as coolly as ever, but there is
no necessity for that. The other fellow
has run away already"
When Is minutes had slipped by and

a Very Interesting Medical Case.
A little over five years ago Mr..
Edward II. Bartlett, son of our fell
low-towpsman, DR.. e. II. Bartlett,
was running through a field and
had heado timothy in his NJ outh,
which, in some unaccountable man
ner he swallowed. 1t lodged in his
wind pipe and from there went into
the bronchi of the right lung, where
new tissue formed around it. From
time to time this tissue became
broken and as fast as this occurred
the foreign matter worked itself
further and deeper into the lung.
Originally the piece of grass was
about two inches and half long,
but occasionally some of this would
be brought out in small quantities,
all Of which Dr.. j. Lee McComas
has in bis possession. On last
Monday night during q very violent
paroxysm OF coughing the re-
malnder Of the timothy head, about
al inch and one-fourth long. be-
came detached from its bed and
passed from him. This piece of
vegetable matter is very black but
in good state of preservation.
Probably this is the only case on
record where piece of foreign mat
ter of this kind remained in a per-
sons lung so long without causing
consumption and ultimately death.
An exact diagnosis of this case
was made three years ago by DR.. j,
Lee McComas.
