Frightened to Death.

Armsted Hoskins. negro 50 years
old. died at his home in Wilkesbarre,
Pa, few days ago, and the colored
people who live in the vicinity say he
was frightened to death by a ghost.
A few nights before he died Hoskins
was out in his back yard. The men,
bers of his family heard him scream
and a moment later he fell headlong
at the door, his face an ashen hue.
He shook as though in chill and 1t
was plain he had received terrible
fright. For several hours he was
unable to speak.
A physician was called and the case
was such peculiar one that he took
other physicians to the house. The
next day Hoskins attempted to tell
what had scared him, but was seized
with ashivering fit and became speech
less. 1t was gathered from his jabber,
however, that he had seen ghost,
The physicians advised that his mind
be kept off the subject, but that was
found to be impossible. Hoskins con-
tinued to shiver and tremble, growing
gradually worse until he died

The Use OF Dust.

Dust has very large share In near
ly all the phenomena of the earth's
atmosphere. 1t is what makes the
clear sky appear blue, and when we
look up into the sky We see the dust
in the atmosphere illuminated by the
sun. There is nothing else before us
that can permit the light to reach the
eye. Light goes invisible, straight
through all the gases, whatever their
chemical composition. The dust catch
es it, reflects it in every direction, and
so causes the whole atmosphere to ap-
pear clear in the same way that it
makes the sunbeam visible in the
darkened room. Without dust there
would be no blue armament The
sky would be as dark as or darker
than we see it in the finest moonless
nights. The glowing disk Of the sun
would stand Immediately upon this
dark back ground, and the same sharp
contrast would prevail upon the il
Illuminated surface of the earth-blind-
ing light where the suns rays fall and
deep black shadows where they do not.
Only the light of the moon and the
stars, which would remain visible in
the daytime, would be able to temper
this contrast in slight degree. The
illumination of the earth's surface
would be like that we see with the
telescope on the lunar landscapes, for
the moon has no atmospheric envelope
that can hold floating dust We then
owe to dust the even moderately tenn
pered daylight, adapted now to our
eyes, and it is that which contributes
much to the beauty of our landscape
scenery.

senator Fair in His Own Mines.

The death of ex-senator Fair will
cause feelings of genuine sorrow in
the breast of many a humble miner
who is not, as general thing, given
over TO sentiment. Senator Fair was
rarely known to discharge miner. A
parent could not have been kinder to
them. Smoking was forbidden In the
mines. He had a free-and-easy way
of dropping down the shafts at unex-
pected hours and making himself
agreeable. One night he smelled to-
bacco smoke in crosscut. Smiling
and paternal, the Senator seated HIM
self on a chunk of ore and chatted
with the boys. "Dear me" he said,
presently, "it's really a treat to get
down here among We an away from
all the business bothers on the surface.
Dye know, I'd jist like to have a
smoke? Do any o you chaps happen
to have pipe wi you?"
Miner Smith, new hand. eagerly
drew pipe from hole in the rock,
and his millionaire friend and employ
er psffed away at the Guilty, and when
he departed left his blessings behind
him.
Brown" said the Senator to the
superintendent half an hour later in
his office, discharge that man Smith
who's workin' in crosscut No. 8 on the
240O. He's been smokin'."
A body of rich ore was struck in a
drift and speculative reasons made it
necessary to hide the news from the
public for few days. The Senator,
in his flannel shirt and oilskin hat, sat
down with the resting miners in the
drift, and picking piece of rock from
a passing car, remarked
That's pretty good stuff; don't
you think SO, boys?"
There was a murmur of respectful
assent from a few.
What do you think of it, John
son?"
Miner Johnson, who was acquainted
with Fairs ways, examined the rock
critically, shook his head, and said it
looked barren to him. Several others
did the same. Miner Murphy, a COM
parative tenderfoot, saw an oppor-
tunity to distinguish himself. THAT
rock, sir, will go all the way from $3.50
to $500 ton"
"Ah, murmured the Senator, adj
miringly, you're miner, Murphy
You understand your business" Then
to the superintendent in the office
presently: Brown, discharge Muir
ply from that drift. He knows toe
much"

CAPTURED DY CANADIANS.
American Fishermen Connaed In "a
Fort.

Duluth, July 21.-A report comes
from Crane lake of an encounter be-
tween American citizens employed by
the Arion Fish company. with head
quarters at that place, and Canadian
officials. The trouble arose over the
Canadians taking up and confiscating
the nets set in Namekon lake by the
fish company, on the ground hat they
were placed In Canadian waters.
Eight men belonging TO the Arion
company started out in search of their
nets. when suddenly three boats filed
with Canadian officials darted out
from behind an island and pursued
them. The little steamer May Carter,
on her way 10 Crane lake, came along
and Capt. Hayes put OH all steam to
rescue the fishermen. In the excite
ment the Carter struck one OF the
Canadian boats, smashing 1t to pieces
and spilling four officials into the lake.
Three OF the fishermen also fell over
board, but no one was drowned. The
Carter picked up all the fishermen
except H.. e. Fenske, Emil Ans and
William Sim, who were captured by
the Canadians and taken to Fort
Francis.
