Houses and SuperstitiOns.

"Real estate men are gradually for
getting most of the old time supersti-
tons which used to cause us much
trouble" said a dealer the other day.
"fhe number of houses which cannot
be rented or sold on account Of being
haunted or because some terrible crime
was committed on the premises is rap
idly decreasing. We run across only a

THE RIGHT TO VOTE.
In England 1t II Withheld From
Many Full Pledged Citizens.

Many Full Pledged Citizens.
There are many full fiedged English
citizens who are disqualified from
membership in parliament and from
taking any part in parliamentary cleo
lions. Thus all peers Of the realm, ex-
cept those Irish peers who do not hap
pen to have been elected for life to
represent their order in the house Of
lords, are barred from the exercise of
franchise. So, too, are police officials,
high and low. They neither have a
vote nor are they eligible.
Ineligibility to parliament extends I'd
the Anglican clergy to Scottish Pres
byterian ministers and to the Roman
Catholic priesthood. Undischarged
bankrupts and those convicted Of fel-
ony and who have not completed their
sentences and are merely freed on
tickets Of leave are likewise disquali-
fed from election to parliament. So,
too, are young men under the age Of
twenty-one and persons who, having
been judicially declared insane, have
not been legally restored to their civic
rights and privileges.
Insanity, however, does not consti-
tute any disqualification in the case Of
the upper house Of parliament. Luna
tics are permitted to take part in the
divisions in the gilded chamber, and at
the time when the Irish home rule bill,
enacted by the house Of commons, was
defeated by the house Of lords no less
than three crazy peers were brought
down to Westminster by their keepers
from the insane asylums in which they
were held under restraint and voted as
hereditary legislators against home
rule being granted to Erin.

event, coal will always command expen.

Hence, We may readily understand
why persistent effort is being made to
establish the fact that extensive coal

of our coal deposits and other rich and
