A True Ghost Story.

Here is a true story: The wife Of q
gentleman living in New Mexico lay
dying in Philadelphia, but the fact was
not known by the family at home. Dur.
ing the night ghost-that is as good q
name for it as any other-appeared at
the bedside of the favorite servant and
nurse, woke her and whispered, "Te-
resa, be good to my childrenW The
nurse was frightened and woke the
household She told her story, but the
husband laughed at her, declaring that
his wife was we'll and that Teresa had
had nightmare. Then. in the morning.
at about s o'clock, a telegram came, an
nouncing the fact that the wife had I'M
expectedly died the night before. Queer
world we are living in, isn't it? Now,
if you deny the statement and million
or two other statements Of the same
kind, why that is one thing, and you
wouldn't be complimented by my opin-
ion Of your judgment. And il you don't
deny the statement how do You account
for the occurrence? What really hap
pened, and why did it happen in Just
that way? Think about it for few
months. New York Herald.

CromwclI's Head.

A correspondent writes: 1T may
come as q surprise to many to learn that
Cromwell's head, in, under the circum-
stances, fine state of preservation,
is at the present time in the possession
OF a gentleman who resides in Kent
The head was lately shown to Mr.. Hamo
Thornycroft, who is executing the bust
Of the Protector, which has been sub
scribed for by the ex- premier and others,
and tho sculptor. it is said, ontertains no
doubt whatever as to its commences. A
study of the head has afforded Mr..
Thornycroft material assistance, though
ono Of the casts--of which there are sew
eral in existonce-taken almost immedi-
ately after death, has probably been a
safer basis in the execution of the work

OF rather auburn, color. is in perfect
preservation. and 90 is the short beard T"

Marvellous Resuits.

From letter written by Rev. J. Gun
derman, Of Dimondale, Mich, we are per-
mitted to make this extract: 81 have no
hesitation in recommending DR.. Kings
New Discovery, as the results were almost
marvellous in the case Of my wife. While
was pastor of the Baptist church at
Rives Junction, she was brought down
with pneumonia, succeeding lagrippe.
Terrible paroxysms of coughing would
last hours with little interruption. and it
seemed as il she could not survive them.
A friend recommended DIR. Kings New
Discovery; it was quick in its work and
highly satisfactory in results" Trial

She IL Now Adding Singing to Her Varied
-. Accomplishments.
Helen Keller, the deaf and blind girl
who has been rendered famous by the
triumph of special sense development
over her infirmities, is now completing
her education in a private school for the
deaf III New York city. I had an inter
esting conversation with one of the
principals of the school day or two
ago. He said that since the girl had
been under his care he had been teach
ing her to sing with great success.
Placing her fingers on the throat Of q
singer, she is able to follow notes cover
ing two octaves with her own voice. !
mean that she sings spontaneously
with her instructor. The only differ
ence between her voice and that of a nor.
NAL person is in it's resonant qualities.
So acutely developed has her sense OF
touch become that by placing her hand
upon the frame of piano she can dis
tinguish between two notes not more
than half tone apart.
The gentleman to whom I have re.
ferred above said that the mind of Helen
Keller, owing to the special efforts
which had been made to educate her,
was far more finely developed than that
of any girl of her age that he knew. He
also spoke of the remarkab BILE develop
ment of her senses of taste and smell
He said that she was always conscious
of the presence of another person, no
matter how noiseless his entrance into
the room in which she was at the time.
He explained this knowledge by the
acuteness of her sense of SMELL. She is
able to detect presence by odor. BE
said her sense of taste was very pro
nounced, and that she could not be per
suaded to take food which she disliked'
He told me something else about her
sense of touch which seemed miraculous
to Newell acquainted as l am with all
the possible developments of special
senses. BY placing her hand on the face
of visitor, she is able to detect shades
of emotion which the normal human
eye absolutely fails to distinguish. In
other words, her sense of touch is de-
veloped to such an exquisite extent as
to form better eye for her than are
yours or mine for us. And what is more
she forms judgments of character by
this touch sight."-N Y. Herald.

Nothing more. And she read ii
