LIVES IN A TOMB.

Dead Occupants,
''Let those who seek not knowledge
pass by this grave, but those who fain
would learn the secret of life in death
descendv This remarkable inscrip-
ton is engraved on a huge slab of
black marble at the entrance to the
strangest tomb in the civilized world
1t is in the Greek cemetery at Buchar-
est, and visitors are free to accept the
invitation to enter.
At certain hours every day the visitor
is sure to encounter the quick as we'll
as the dead inside the tomb. 1t stands
over the remains Of Julia Hasden,
gifted young authoress, who died six
years ago. Her father, Prof. Hasden,
Of the University of Bucharest, has
spent several hours of each day since
by the coffin Of his beloved daughter.
But he does not mourn her as one lost
to him forever. He believes implicitly
that he receives frequent communica-
tons from her, and often he surprises
his fellow professors and friends by re-
peating some remark, which, in perfect
good faith, he says his daughter made
to him that day or the day before

scribe the most touching expressions of
sympathy. Such are found In every
language in Europe.
1t must not be supposed that Prof.
Hasden has been made insane through
grief. He is man of learning and
good Judgment, but he could not be
convinced that he does not receive
daily communications from his daugh-
ter. And since in that belief lies his
greatest solace, none would try to rob
him Of it. Most people believe it to be
a delusion, but a harmless one. Spirit
ualists think the communications are
really received, and take them as addi-
tional proof of their theory.
