NoyeI Horscsboeiof Rack.

Shoeing fractions horse is not
task to be envied by any one, and
there is always danger of accident to
the man who performs the work in
the ordinary manner, as the animal
seems possessed of the idea that the
hoofs were made to defend itself with
instead of to be shod. In addition to
the danger to the shoer. the animal Is
liable to injurt itself in the argument
and especially is this tho case in shoe
ing colts for the first time, when
fright is generally the chief cause
of trouble. To overcome these
difficulties John Cea of Iowa has
designed the horseshoeing rack
shown in the illustration. the in

CHAPTER II.

So the thing was accomplished. Inc
haunted house was let.
The. next day all Banley knew the
tale by heart. The bankers name was
Cowley, and the young lady who
wished to see the ghost was Miss Rose
Cowley, pretty, fair, little creature,
who looked as If she would shrek and
run away II mouse crossed her path.
Her elder sister, Catherine Miss Cow
ley) was tall, dark-haired girl, with
a high color and flashing black eyes
by far the most proper person, one
bud say, to encounter denizen OF
the other world. But she did not ap-
prove Of the project, and shuddered at
the very name of the Hall. Mrs. Cow
ley, fat, fair and forty. took the mat
ter easily, though in her heart she con-
sidered it tempting of Providence.
But she said nothing. She was de-
votedly attached to her stout. good
tempered husband, and had he chosen
to walk into the crater Of Vesuvius.
think she would have given one sigh
to old England, and followed meekly
in his wake.
Mr.. Cowley, having made himself
master of the Hall, was not long in
paying it a visit He took his family
with him, and though they went in
broad daylight, their carriage was es-
corted to the very lodge gates by
select troop of rosy-cheeked children,
who stared at Rose as II she had been
the Dragon Of Wantley in person.
Only to the gates. however, did this
youthful bodyguard venture. When
the driver got down and lifted the
rusty bolt from its socket the first
creak dispersed the rabble like magic.
A dire vision of Queen Bess in run
and farthingale, coming down the ave-
nue. to meet those who sought to en-
ter, affrighted them; and with one ac-
cord they set off at full speed toward
the village, never daring to look be-
hind them, or to slacken their pace un-
til they were safe once more at their
own mothers sides.
Rose Cowley watched this exodus
with laughing eyes; but her mother
and sister looked as II they would
gladly have followed the example OF
the children, and taken to their heels
as well. 1'
Mercy preserve us!" said Mrs.
Cowley, looking up at the Hall. "Who
would have believed 1t was such dis
NAL place? Why, yesterday from the
road it seemed pleasant"
Dismal, mammal" said Rose, Il
think it is anthing but that! Romantic,
solitary, lonely, If you will, but surely
not dismal!"
TT is only fit for rats and owls to live
in," said Catharine, with look OF In
tense disgust. What could papa be
thinking of when he took it without
even paying visit to the place? How
ever, there is one comfort-he likes
snug, warm rooms as well as any OF
us; and the first glance at the interior
of the old shell will be sure to olsen
chant him. We shall never live here,
mamma; so you need not distress
yourself at all about it."
Don't be too certain" remarked
Rose. II was talking with papa this
morning about it, and 1 asked what
was to be done If the place should turn
out damp and cold. What do you
think his answer was?"
why, that in such case we could
MT stop, of course" - =. 81
Not a bit of it," replied the mis-
chievous girl. Papa said that he
thought we were all apt to pamper
ourselves too much and that 1t would

LEpRosY IN PHILIPPINES.
IslaAAs, According to Fran
Ols00n FAtherA

An appended report to Gen. Mac
Arthur's review of the civil affairs Of
the Philippines for the last fiscal year
gives some rather startling facts re-
garding the introduction and preva-
lence of leprosy in the islands Ac-
cording to the estimates of the Fran
.ciscan fathers. says Maj. Guy L. Edie,
the writer of the report, there are no
less than 10000 lepers in the archi-
pelago, the major portion of these be-
ing in the Viscayas. 'Leprosy was in
troduced in 1883, when the emperor
of Japan sent ship with $50 lepers
on board to the Philippines as pres
ent to be cared for by the Catholic
priests.
Thus the seed was planted. and as
no practical methods ever were adopt
ed to eradicate the disease or pre-
vent it's spread it has taken firm root.
A house-to-house inspection begun
last January found more than 100
lepers concealed in dwellings. These
were sent to San Lazaro hospital in
Manila, but many others escaped into
the surrounding country. A commits
sion is now engaged in the work Of Sc
lecting a suitable island or islands for
the purpose of isolating all the lepers
in the archipelago.

SPONGE CROP OF TIE GULF.

The study Of the sponge fields of
Florida is to be undertaken by the
government with a view TO developing
an important industry. Florida is the
only part of the United States pro-
duciug sponges of a commercial value,
says a Washington report. There are
$40 vessels with more than 2.C0O men
employed in the industry. and il is
estimated that the l9OO-l9Ol crop will
have commercial value of $sjO.0O0.
Sponges are found on the eastern and
western coasts. but are more abun-
dant on the western coast. owing to
the equable temperature and moder-
ate depth of the water and the alb
sence of fierce hurricanes.
The sponge grounds of the Gulf OF
Mexico extend from the Florida reefs
TO St Marks and for distance of Is
miles from shore. The best sponges
in color. texture and size are indig
enous to deep water. and as these
command the highest prices in all
markets the sponging vessels fire.

KHAKI AS A LIFE pREsERvER.
4 Fact That Has Been DemonstrateA
In the south African Ana
China Wars.

In the Century, under the title Of
with the Picking Relief Column" are
printed correspondents notes Of the
fighting in China, by Frederick
Palmer. The writer is eloquent on
the advantages of khaki as uni
form. He says:
''The accuracy of the Chinese rife
fire is amazing. l noticed that the
bullets were knocking up the dust in
front of our men after they sprang
over the mud wall (where the writer
was) and charged across the thousand
yards between the mud wall and their
present position. That is always
proof of good shooting. ! suppose
that the Welsh fusileers must bridge
the break in the line where l can see
no blue points. They are in full
khaki. Our marines and the Ninth
the Ninth. so far as ] can learn, is in
a cul-de-sac on the other side of the
road from the marines-are wearing
their blue shirts. Theoretically. all
our regiments in the Philippines are
in full khaki. Virtually. none is ex-
cept those on police duty in the
towns. For campaigning both men
and officers prefer the blue woolen
shirt, which absorbs perspiration in
the daytime and keeps off the chill
and vapors at night) The British blue
jackets are completely in blue. with
white straw hats. The French ma
rine infantry is in blue. with white
helmets. The Russians in their white
blouses, with the average field as a
background. are a. distinct as the
weeks washing on the line. As for
the Japanese. the white crowns Of
their caps make so many bull's-eyes
as the little fellows bend to the
double in a charge; and the Japs are
so cleanly that. unlike the Russians.
they never allow their white to be
soiled and become natural khaki"
The advance this morning. when
every man except the fusileer was a
moving target. if viewed by the home
STATS. would he sufficient to hasten
the adoption of khaki by all the arm
les of the world. After South Africa,
one would expect at least an attempt
to discolor white helmets: but every
