A Haunted Castle.

Bogtalog Hall, in Towyn, North
Wales, is a noted ruin. It's existence
dates back over 500 years, and according
to tradition which the superstitious
people of the neighborhood have been
taught to believe it has been haunted
for almost that number Of years. When
the castle was built, a chapel for the
reception of the dead was erected. IL
has never been used. In the fourteenth
century some member Of the family
died at Hastings, and the body, instead
of being conveyed to the chapel of Bog
talog Hall for interment, was buried M
Hastings. On the anniversary Of that
PERSONS death each year the spirit il
said to be seen by the superstitious
people Of the neighborhood lowering
around the chapel and demanding the
interment of the body within the walls
Of the vault. Mr.. Robinson says tine ira
dition is SO firmly rooted in the natures
OF the people of Towyn that no one will
go near the castle after nightfall. San

Biologists tell us that "one of the
most marked and well known charac-
teristics Of stones and rocks in general
is their extreme rigidity, but there are
really some specimens that are more
fiexile than wood, bending under the
81 gbtest pressure without breaking.
The best known and most abundant Of
these flexile stones is itacolumite, an
elastic sedimentary deposit found chiefly
in South America, but not unknown ia
the United States, being frequently
found in large quantities in the moun-
tains Of North and South Carolina AID
occasionally in Georgia. The hexib.li;y
Of itacolumite is readily understood
when the stone is subjected to micro
scopic examination. All ordinary sand.
stones are rigid and brittle, but in ita-
columite the grains are cemented by
mica and sericite, which confer the fcN-
ible property to the stone as a whole.
Viewed Dy n strong polarized light il is
plain to be seen that each separate grain
Of sand in slab of itacolumite is sur

Primitive Fare In Massachusetts.

In book treating of the social con-
ditions Of western Massachusetts in the
early part of this century some amusing
differences are noted in the manner of
living. In the families Of well to do
people in such town as Northampton
bread and milk was the regular diet for
breakfast and supper, while the poor,
who could not afford wheat -four and
milk, made two meals ON bean porridge.
To have meat more than once day
would have been considered sinful ex-
trayagance. When the Hon. Caleb
Strong was governor, he used to travel
from his home in Berkshire county TO
Boston in his private carriage, taking
three days for the trip and having regu-
lar stopping places. Having been delay
ed ON one occasion, he was obliged to
pass the night at private house on the
road. The supper consisted of a large
bowl of bread and milk, and the guest
and family were merely provided with
spoons with which to supply themselves
from this common dish. This was a
trifie too democratic for the governor,
who suggested that his portion be put
in a separate dish. as he might other
wise eat more than his share, but his
host generously replied that they were
quite willing to take that risk. Boston

little hill near the House Of the Good
Shepherd in Pacific street, Brooklyn,

it to take to the winds. 1t sped heaven

"What have they got tonight?' he
taid finally, addressing the assistant
telegraph editor.
"Pork and beans, stewed tomatoes

"It's all right. Dead swell layout" +"
The telegraph editor ruminated and
again felt in his pocket Then he re-
membered little Indebtedness Of 20

The copy boy entered.
The telegraph editor scribbled ON a
piece Of paper.

the telegraph editor. He handed the
copy boy piece of paper which looked

The copy boy took the paper into the
sporting editors room, where he stop
ped to listen calmly to the arrangements
for a prize fight; then he went out into
the area way and threw paper wads at
the watchman.
Then he went into the local room and
threw a crumpled piece Of paper on the
desk OF the assistant city editor.
His nibs sent that TO yeh," he re.
marked, pushing the paperweight Of
the desk onto the toe of the Constant

The assistant city editor apologized
to the Constant Reader and looked at
the paper. Then he drew half dollar
from his pocket, carefully laid the paper
over it and rubbed it with the butt end
of his lead pencil Underneath the
rough facsimile of the coin he wrote:
'Please send back the change"
'There, take that back, quick" " said
he.
The copy boy went into the dramatic
editors room and put mustache ON
the latest photograph Of Helene Mora.
Eventually he reached the telegraph
room and handed the paper to the tele-
graph editor. The telegraph editor
studied it for full minute. Then he
remarked calmly:
"That's the grouchiest guy that ever
