ehildren and Ghost Stories.

The attempt to keep your children ia ignorance of stories about ghosts, fairies, giants and gypsies would cer- sainly prove futile. If they are of a nervous and imaginative temperament they will invent new terrors for them selves instead of the ole traditional ones. 4 little girl of six. who had been jeatously guarded against any acquaintance with nursery bogies and superstitions, suffered from night ter TOTS of q severe kind, in which she always screamed out that she was be- ing chased by robbers. But while it may be impracticable to protect chii- dren from a knowledge of the super natural and mysterious, it is inexcus- able to frighten them with hideous stories or to leave them a prey to the 1errors of the solitude and darkness.

 Big '.fv in English Writing.

Did it ever occur to you that it might seem very egotisticaI for you to write of yourself with capital T" instead of using the small and less obtrusive one? The English use of the capital 'I'' is one of the oldest features of the language-to a for eigner If a Frenehman writes refer ring to himself he makes "je'' (the French equivalent of "I'1 with a small tj." So with the German, who may use capitals to begin every noun; he always uses the small "i" in writ ing "ich.'' The Spaniard avoids, as far as practicable, the use of the per sonal pFonoun when writing in the first person, but he always writes it ''yo," taking pains, however, to begin the Spanish equivalent of our you" with capital. In English it is sure ly big T" and little s.you," as the old saying has 1t.

Dr Elliott Coues, the famous orni- thologist. whose death took place re- gently, was a firm believer in ghosts, and promised several of his friends that he would appear to them after his demise. He used to say that he was able, at a certain time each day, to project what he called his conscious body from his material body. This conscious body was at once surround cd by phantoms, most of them stran~ gers to him, but some of whom re- sembled dead friends. They eonYersed. but not audibly to him.
