SPOOKS IN THE WEST.
Ghosts Haunt Cattle Range in the
State of Washington.

The little town Of Calispell, in the
northeastern part of Washington
state, has been thrown into panic
by two ghostly yisitants that have
been emptying eorrals, stampeding
the herds and doing similar mischief,
So general is the feeling Of fear
that a public meeting is to be called
to arrange for the removal Of the bod
les supposed to belong to the ghosts,
in the hope that this will change mat
tiers.
The identity of the spooks in con-
sidered certain. One is Of a negro
named Hart, who was shot and in
stantly killed in a quarrel with Frank
Wilson, a colored republican politi-
clan, of Spokane, seven years ago, and
whose body was buried on Niger
Hill, the center Of the present dis
turbances, which are believed to be
supernatural.
The other is claimed to be that of
Charles Stowell, who had a ranch
about three miles from Niger Hill
and who committed suicide in Spo-
kane few weeks ago.
In fear and trembling doors are
locked and lights kept burning
through all the length Of the little
valley after dark. Only few people
are seen abroad at night, and they
are always mounted and armed.
Mysterious noises are frequently
heard. Occasionally there is a sound
like that Of an animal being choked
to death. Lights fit about the hill
and things are mysteriously moved
about on the farms. Gates are un-
latched and animals frightened
Counties Renowned for Twins.
Lancashire for some unexplained
reason can boast Of producing more
twins than any other county in the
United Kingdom. London comes a
good second and Yorkshire an indif-
ferent third. For the last five years
668 twins have been born annually in
Lancashire, Liverpool being respon-
sible for 10 Of these. Manchester
every year adds to the population 10
twins, Stafford 81, Bolton 23 and
Blackburn and Preston Is 9njece-

According to those who have seen the
quarters to be assigned Prince Henry they
are simple, airy bed rooms, attractive be-
cause of their elegant furnishings but al

Prince Henry's personal yalor and hardf-
hood are Illustrated by many stories. Once
when he was the watch-keeping lieutenant
on the Olga, which was lying anchored in
northern waters, the prince gave orders for
all hands to battle. Inc weather was chilly,
and an officer remarked to the prince that
the water was unbearably cold, and that 1t
might be wise to annul the order. Without

was shortly carried out, Wnlie the prince,
instead of changing his wet clothes, re-
manned on the bridge until his watch was
relieved. IA

It is safe to say that no yacht. royal OF
otherwise, has ever before received the con-
sideration that the new craft of few hun

Some Recent German Investigations

From the Paris Messenger
The interest of the German government in
the Bagdad railway has led ii to dispatch
important missions to Armenia for the pur-
pose of making archaeological explorations
in Armenia. The first of these expeditions
was intrusted to DR.. w. Belck alone, and
in 1898 and 1899 he was accompanied by the
psychologist, DR.. c. B. Lehman. The re-
port of these expeditions has just been is
sued, and the results to science are most
important. The first indications of a civili-
cation in the mountain lands bordering on
Lake Van were made known by the French
traveller, DR.. Schultz, who copied a number
Of inscriptions on the rocky walls OF the
fortress of the city Of Van. Schultz. I'M

his diaries and copies OF inscriptions were
recovered and published by the French gov
eminent in the Journal AsiatiQue.
Layard, who visited Armenia IN 1S49
copied a number of inscriptions, and Ras-
sam, who made several visits to the coun-
try and eXcavated at Toprak Kaleh, the an
cient palace of the Vannic kings. copied or
took casts of several more, but the work
of the German expeditions has greatly in
creased our knowledge of the country. The
members collated all inscriptions previously
copied and increased the material for the
study of ancient Armenian history by near
~ L,oOO llneS-lnciuulIlg the discovery OF a
most important and fairly lengthy bilingual
inscription in Assyrian and Vannic. The
most important result of the expedition has
been to define clearly the extent of this en-
pire, which had almost entirely disappeared
from the field of history. The capital city
was Van, the lake Of that name called
Dhuspas-the Tosps of the classics-but the
royal residence seems to have been at Top
rak Kaleh, called at later period "Rusas
town" The northern boundaries of the en-
pire are uncertain, but several inscriptions
were found in Russian Armenia. On the
east the Inscriptions were found as far as
Lake Uromiyeh, and one on lie rock,
heights near Rowandiz on the summit of
the Pass of Keli-shin, 1900 feet above sea
level. This inscription was first discovered
by Sir Henry Rawlinson, and was set up
during the joint reigns of the Kings Ispunis
and Menuas, about B. c. 500 Westward
on the rocks at Palu, on the Euphrates,
near Malatiyeh. the inscriptions of Menuas
are also found.

Troubles of the Rich.


The first point in the condition of the idle
rich which takes the eye of the student is
that they are the victims of circumstances.
Like the Idle poor, the idle rich suffer be-
cause there is nothing for them to do, but
the greater hardship of the idle rich lies in
the fact that they do not seem fit to do
anything. Some philosophers have sup
posed that their leisure qualified them to
take charge of the political and economical
affairs Of people who were at work, and
there has been good deal Of polite regret
among US that up to the present time there
has been no more zeal in the people at
work than there has been an apparent pur-
pose OF Providence to turn our leisure class
to account in this way. We have seen that
under other systems they are turned to
account In this way; but their conduct OF
public business under these systems has
not convinced us. 1t seems to have been
mainly In their own interest with few es-
capes from the vicious circle which forms
the logic OF their lives: 1t seems to have
tended always to the perpetuation Of thar
leisure class which. 1t was philosophical.
tneir public employment would practically
put an end to.

The stomach controls the man. It governs
him both physically and mentally. The man
is just what his stomach makes him. When
the stomach is right, the man is all right;
he feels good, he is happy, he is cheerful, the
world to him is all sunshine.
When the stomach is wrong the man is
all wrong. He is out Of sorts, he is nervous,
he is irritable, he is gloomy and respondent,
he is cranky. His general disposition is
such that nobody wants to have anything
to do with him.
The stomach is the organ on which the
whole human system must depend for sub
sistence and existence. If the stomach
fails, then what is to become of the rest of
the body? Where does the force of life
come from? Doesn't it come largely from the
food? You know that if you stop eating, you
will die. But the mere eating of food does
not give life. Food can no more give life with
out digestion than coal can give heat with
out combustion. 1t is not what we eat but
what we digest that keeps up the motor
force of the body.
UndigeSted food is not only useless but
harmful. 1t ferments and decays in the
stomach, the evidence of which you have in
the distress you experience, that feeling of
fullness, especially after eating, fiatulence
