''the fear OF being touched by ghosts"--not
because We fear the touch would Kill or
hurt, but simply because we dread the
more touch. Mr.. Hearnc again endeavors
TO explain this, hut Is too wise mystic
to be satisfied with his own explanation
Might suggest that that fear OF the
touch Of the so-called supernatural Is
analogous TO the shrinking one has, the
positive repulsion and dread, or touching
certain reptiles and insects. One has, too
the same shrinking from touching the dead
even looking at thcm-touchlng them. sc
TO say, with our eyes. All these fears ana
repulsions are mysteries. But these are
subjects It would take columns to discuss

and original speculation which Mr..
Hearne's new book--llke so many of his
already ours-contains. Book by book he

The good. old-fashioned quaker SIM
plicity and distrust Of royalty were never
better exhibited than In these words OF
the mother OF the late Richard vaux.
They were her flrshfEeeting to him on
his return home from the court OF st.
James after his memorabl2 exploit at
the court ball In Buckingham palace,
when he attained the distincfI5n Of be-
ing the only American who ever dane
ed with Queen Victoria.
T 1t was In 1887. Mr.. vaux's position
as secretary to Mr.. Stevenson. United
States minister to the court Of st.
James. was in itself noteworthy one,
and brought him at once into social
prominence In London, but his excep-
tional personal attributes, his brilliancy
Of conversation, charm Of person, ex-
quisite manners. elegance Of diction
and gallantry of carriage made MIN the
beau ideal Of court cavalier and well
come guest In the houses Of the nobility,
where be was received and welcomed
with open arms, says the Philadelphia
Press No one, therefore was greatly
surprised In court circles when It be-
came known that the young queen had
singled him out for signal honor. and
had commanded that he attend the
court ball at Buckingham palace,
which was to be given in honor Of her
coronation
When, however, the night Of the ball
arrived, and the queens cotillon" set
was formed, and the guests beheld
Richard vaux. arrayed In his brilliant
court costume, take his place in It, q
position that was supposed to be re-
served for royalty alone, there was
surprise and excitement indeed. Then
the music struck up and the gallant
young American threaded his way
through the intricacies Of the royal
dance, bearing himself with an air Of
grace and confidence that was wonder
ful to behold. The queen was seen to
smile in gracious approval as he took
her hand and led her through the evolu-
lions of the dance. And there was not
man present who would not have
given a coronet to win SO coveted dis
tinction.
After that Mr.. vaux's career was a
series Of brilliant social triumphs. In
his candidacy for congress, in 1890,
certain voters In his district resented
his having danced with the queen of
England, and used the fact against him
as reflection on bis democracy.

DIR. d. X. Pearsons. the Chicago phi
Ianthropist. when celebrating his eight
leth birthday gave these rules for long
life:
No pies or cakes; no pains or aches.
Most men dig their graves with their
teeth.
II you oyerwork your liver. It will
soon tell on your brain.
Live like farmer. and you will live
like prince.
Men can live ten days without eat
Ing They can't do without pure air
for five minutes.
Don't get angry and don't get excit-
ed. Every time you fret you lose q
minute of life.
Let man abuse his stomach. and
he'll get fidgety and cross to his fam
fly.
Doctors say don't sleep on a full
stomach. take my after dinner nap
just the same. and I'm so years old.
You can't believe all the doctors say.
If You catch a cold, lose your quinine
md eat an onion.
Give away your money. It's exhila-
rating and tends to longevity.
The idea of giving while one Is alive
will become epidemic as soon as men
discover what fun 1t is.

man, from 3417 Wabash ave., Chicago,
Ill. Mrs. Schmitt says: II suffered
this winter with severe attack of la
grippe, and having repeatedly heard of
the value Of Psruna in such cases /
thought would try it. used it faith
fully and began to feel change for the
better the second day, and in the course
of week l was very much improved.
After using three bottles I not only
found that the grip had disappeared,
but my general health was much bet
ter. I am satisfied that Peruna is q
wonderful family remedy and gladly
endorse it," Yours,
Mrs. Theophile Schmitt.
La grippe leaves the system saturated
with catarrh. This condition is
known as systemic catarrh. Peruna
is the only remedy. Allow no one to
persuade you that there is any other
remedy just as good.
If you do not derive prompt and
satisfactory results from the use of
Peruna, write at once to DIR. Hartman,
giving full statement Of your case
and he will be pleased to give you his
valuable advice gratis.
