morning breeze stole through the case

pers that hung around the altar where
she had knelt the night before. From
the street came the noise of the busy
world outside. All Ho woke with a
start and gasp, and then burst into

But in the yard lay the body Of Tai,

That afternoon the old astrologcr

WANDERING SPIRITS.

It was the festival of the Wandering
Bpirits in the Annoy. Usually the day
Is warm and balmy. The bre eze from
the great Formosa channel fakes the
lower bay with silver dashes and
faunts every flag upon the numerous
junks which lie in the water edge of the
populous city. But this year it was
different. Gray clouds hung over the
universe, and cold and cheerless wind
from the north made fire positively
agreeable despite the fact that the
place lies almost within the tropics.
The festival is an old and popular
one in this part Of China, and was
observed, as it always is, with mend-
ing ceremony and form. 1t is the day
and night when spirits are permitted
to wander wheresoever they will; good
spirits upon errands Of mercy or kind
ness or upon visits to living relatives
scattered over the empire; evil spirits

think. The medicine had done no good.
The great doctor had done no good.
The joss sticks and the talisman had
been of no avail. There was no doubt
but what the little boy in the room
beyond must cross the sacred river.
Then she remembered the great En-
g1ish doctor who lived at Kulanps,1.
He was an eminent man, who made
more money in a day than a Chinese
mechanic could make in q year. He
lived in palace and had retinue of
servants in beautiful uniforms, who
said that he knew more than all the
Chinese doctors in Annoy together,
Once, long before, when she was sick
nigh unto death, he had taken nitv
upon her and had visited her miserable
abode. He had given her costly medi-
cine and shown her strange instru-
ments, and she had recovered. This
was the only man who could be of
any benefit to her little master But
could he be induced to come? All
Ho had neither money nor jewels, and
as for herself, her sole possessions were
the clothes she wore and another suit
which hung near her bedside.
Would he come? He must come!
She would bring him! She did not
know how she could do it, but inspired
by love she felt that if she could but
see him and talk to him a moment he
would come to the house and bring
with him that which would make the
child strong and we'll once more.

search of the English surgeon.
The sick child had grown heavier as
the hours rolled by. All Ho had fallen
into a doze, seeing nothing but the
baby's face in her arms. Of sudden
she started, looked at the child and
broke into a passionate scream. The
feeble pulse no longer seemed to beat
and the hands were turning cold. Then
she remembered it was the night Of
the Wandering Spirits, and fell upon
her knees with her face toward the
little Buddhist altar in the corner of the
room. She began her prayer as she
had been taught when 4; little girl by
l-tr mother, but the words sounded fiat
and hollow as they were uttered. She
burst into frenzied appeal to Buddha
and all the good spirits, her voice brok-
Ell with sobs, and her eyes blinded with
tears. AS she prayed, the wind, which
had increased in volume as the evening
wore Oh, seemed to change into a con-
fused mass of sounds and the sounds
to separate into voices. Some were
whispers, whose accents fell upon her
ear strangely familiar, others were
wild walls as of people dying in some
dreadful catastrophe; others again were
songs of ineffable sweetness, while still
Others were like the notes Of birds
The sounds We're deepened and varied;

lighter and began to break into shad-

Expansion of Water in Freezing.

Expansion of Water in Freezing.
Mr.. Prompt read a paper before the
French Academy of Sciences concern
ing the augmentation of the volume
of water at the moment of it's trans
formation into ice. His experiments
were made with a view to ascertain
the cause of this phenomenon. To this
end he caused water to freeze in
transparent bulb. According to Mr..
Prompt, first clear and transparent
layer of ice formed, then another layer
traversed by streaks at the points of
which gaseous bubbles appear These
bubbles compressed more and more by
the formation of the ice, eventually
break the vessel in which freezing wa
ter is confined. By using distilled wa
ter, from which all gases had been set
free, and protecting the water by COW
ering it with oil, Prompt claims to
have frozen the water without obtain
ing any dilatlon Of the volume orig

1t is difficult to unite the professions
of genius and member of royal fam
lily, as the Countess Valda Gleichen
has discovered. She has musical tai
ent which she wishes to use. Her
majesty had given her consent to the
young lady singing in public, but the
German relatives Of the late Prince
Victor of Hohenlohe are averse to his
daughter making a profession for her
self. 1t Is just as difficult a question
why one sister should be sculptor
by profession and another debarrcd
from making use Of her musical talent,
but those who know are we'll aware
that the surroundings Of the two ar
tlstic lives must be very different, the
sculptor pursuing art in the retire
ment of a studio in a royal palace,
while the singer must necessarily live
a moro public life and have more pub
lie associations.

IIlustra ting What He Meant.

Latter day speakers of English are
getting to be very wordy and pompous
in the use of our language, according
to the distinguished linguist, Professor
Whitney, and he thinks we ought to
get back to the modesty and simplicity
OF our ancestors. This advice Of
Professor Whitney is no doubt timely.
But in advising us not to use big
words and to be clear, pure and sim
pie in diction he employs the follow
ing words: "Avoid all pelysyHabical
profundity, pompous prolixity, and
ventrilaquial verpidity. Shun double

er obscure or apparent. In other
words, speak truthfully, naturally,
clearly, purely, but do not use large

others glarcd with the fierce eyes Of a
tiger, but as she prayed the discorlant
sounds died away and the ugly looks
and cruel faces dImnred and vanished.
She was surrounded by thousands of
spirits who loved her and her baby
and who seemed to be bearing them up
and away into the heavens toward the
stars. Then there came great light,
like the sun rising over the mountains

1t was about 1 o'clock in the morning
when DR.. Hugh McDowgle buttoned up
his coat and said good-by to Cassi1s
Blank, one of the tea kings of the
East. Mr.. Blank was a charming gen

Old Bergundy, Comet ports and match

his system into that simple condition

much to treat any particular disorder

always about to attack him. He had
a keen appreciation of the doctor, who
besides being a master of his profess
sion, was as charming a companion
as the good Scotch Universities have
ever graduated. The doctor said good
night and went out on the veranda
His chair and pOrters were waiting for
him, but he preferred to walk the
brief distance that lay between him
and his home.
There had been change of weather

was. Tai gave an incOherent state

a pathetic appeal for assistance.

The old astrOloger who does business

people who heard him went home and

that supported his household The
mother, All Ho. bright-eyed and
pretty woman. was at home, nursing

several days-so sick that the ordinary
medicines had produced no result All
Ho had been compelled to call in an
aged and distinguished physician from

The wise man had examined the in

Some Few Of Them Still Exfst In

Some time ago a man took it UPON

er theref1om that Dlusn1ng is virtue,
and that not to blush is criminal.
Whatever the connection between this

the blush is considered a sign of grace
by men. Cynics have always main
tanned that women can cry about any
thing, and at a moments notice, and
it is pretty we'll known that many &C.
tresses can squeeze out real tears
nightly at the proper moment; but
blushing is more difficult to acquire as
an art. Bushes are evidently con-
sidered as important by the generality
of men. For instance, to call a man
IAN unblushing scoundrel," is a dis
tlnct slur on his character and to tell
another that you blush for him used
at one. time to be pretty common
form Of insult. Even now the phrase
