The following ghost story was heard
from n man who was an eye witness.
He was one of the watchers with SICK
man who was dying with a wasting
disease. a dim light was kept In the
room at night generally. but on the oc-
casion in question there was none.
Shortly after midnight the watcher de-
clared that he had heard hymn
played on a large reed organ In the
room. and that on looking closely he
had seen the pedals moving and what
seemed to be the form of a ghost play
ing the keys.
He rushed from the room In dismay
and aroused one of the. sleepers with his
story of the apparitlon. Both returned.
and there was the sound OF the music.

peared that the sound of the music was
due to the wind which blew through an
open window. and in some manner fell
upon the reeds in the back of the organ.

COLORED DORKINGS.

come greatly changed if not extinct.
The greatest change has been merely in
the selection Of lighter colored birds Of
the simple Gray Dorkings and called
Silver Grays, all other points having
been left undisturbed for the last 30
years But this does not apply to the
variety called Colored Dorkings. seen
in the illustration. These are bred dark
or than they were years ago. making the
distinction between the two varieties
more defined. OF course, since poultry
shows have become popular, uniformi-
ty in markings, size, etc, has been
more regarded. Dorkings arc becoming
moro appreciated every year. More
birds are shown ut our exhibitions than
in former times. There is no doubt they
will be still more appreciated when bet
ter understood.
They do not stand confinement like
the Asiatics, but with q fair run and
