but the ghost never appears for him. Ii
makes no demonstration and apparently
has no other object than to be silently
sociabe, an escort fer women and com
panion for men.
Still pedestrians don't want it along II
makes 1t appearance oftenest in The neigh
borhood of Congressman Hemenway res
idence. One night last week as young
woman passed the alley at the side of the
Hemenway residence the ghost came
alongside of her She says it was very tall,
awkward in its movements, bur very quick
and absolutely noise,ess 1t was in black,
with a loose flowing cloak and aood-ilke
covering over the head. The gho~t moved
along at her SIDE At first she was fright
ened and then, recalling the stories OF
speak to the figure, but received no reply.
She was on the way to the home or a
friend short distance away and, think
ing she might possibly escape an unWel-
come escort by running, she ran as never
before in her life, I-Jt the ghost easily
kept pace with her and when she turned
into the entrance at her friends house 1t
disappeared, in what manner she could
not say. She tainted as she entered the
door of the house and has not entirely re-
covered from the shock.
The next night it volunteered to accom-
pany gentleman home who was passing
in the same locality. He did not observe
it's approach and was first aware of its
presence when il was leisurely moving
along with him. This gentleman gave the
same description as given by The young
woman He had heard of the ghost and
determined that he would assume to he
unconscious of it. Then the ghost, as If
reading his mind. began passing around
him. all the while keeping up the pace.
First 1t was on one side of him and then
on the other, and at intervals would walk
Immediately in front of him. When he ar
rived at his gate the ghost disappeared,
and, although the gentleman says he was
on the alert for that action. he cannot
tell what became of his ghostly COM

The Treatment Of Horses.

AT recent committee meeting of the
Humane Society, says the Washington
Star. Prof. Harry Wheaton Howard save
short sketch of his experience and obser-
walton in regard TO the treatment of
horses, as noted during his residence abroad
at Berlin for five years in Paris one year
and in London six months. He stated that
in London horses are treated best and in
Berlin the worst. In Berlin a small pub
lie conveyance, holding four persons. is
very largely used. They are all number
ed, one as high as 1880 having been OBJ
served. This style of vehicle, somewhat
like hanson cab is drawn by a single
horse, which is generally poor i'm flesh, and
is constantly whipped by the driver The
asphalt streets are kept wet by frequent
washings, and this causes a continual
falling of the horses. In view of this one
always allows extra time for probable de
lay. When down the horse is quickly re-
leased by an ingenious arrangement of
harness and shafts Each side of the
shafts is hinged Independently of the 9TH
er, and the harness can be removed with
out cutting. In Paris, he said, the treat
men of horses is about the same as in Ber-
lin. In London the horses are cared for
better than anywhere else in the world,
They are all kept well groomed. The over
drawn check rein Is never seen, but fire.
quently the horses tails are docked and
the names cut, and binders are used. Bur
they are never touched with the whip al
though one Is always carried. Even in
driving horses attached to the oYercrowd.
ed omnibuses the whips are only cracked
The driving is perfect, and compels the ad.
miration of strangers.

MISS GOULD A CRYSTAL GAZER.


From the Philadelphia Press
New York, Nov. 89. Miss Helen Gould
is said to have joined the latest society
cult crystal gazers," and to have just
paid $4,000 for what is regarded as the
most perfect mystic globe in existence.
1t comes from Japan, where three illumi-
natl spent their lives in polishing the
giant rough crystal into the perfect sphere
it now is.
1t is as clear as the air itself, yet the
initiated claim to be able to see within
its depth the events of the past present
and future, and even the immaterial en-
titles who inhabit space or the unknown
spirit land
The crystal ,slqbe itself, which is eight
inches in diameter, is said to have cost
inward of 5000, and Miss Gould has had
it mounted in a gold and crystal setting
worth $1,000 more.
In addition to this she has had a spe-
cial room constructed in her residence
at IrVington- ION Hudson to contain this
mystic treasure. The room is circular,
with arched ceiling, and is draped
throughout in black velvet.
There when the crystal is unveiled and
the electric light turned on bt flashes
with an intense irredesceut splendor only
comparable TO that OF a huge diamond.

and pleasing instead Of dazzling to the

Emerson has left behind him nothing
stronger than this address, "The Amer
lean Scholar" 1t was the first applica-
ton OF his views to the events Of his
day, written and delivered in the heat
OF early manhood while his extraordi-
nary powers were at their height. 1t
moves with logical progression, Of
which he soon lost the habit. The sub
ject of 1.-THE scholars relation to the
world-was the passion of his life The
body of his belief is to be found in this
address, and in any adequate account
OF him the whole address ought to be
given.
Dr. Holmes called this speech Of EN-
erson's our Intellectual Declaration Of
Independence, and indeed it was.
"The Phi Beta Kappa speech" says
MIR. Lowell, was an event without any
former parallel in our literary annals,
q scene always to be treasured in the
memory for its picturesqueness and its
inspiration. What crowded and breath
less aisles, what windows clustering
with eager heads what enthusiasm Of
approval, what grim silence Of foregone
dissent!"-John Jay Chapman in At
lantic.
