GHOSTS LACK ORIGINALITY.
All SpOOks Have FIXED Habits and
Adhere to Time-WOrn Tra-
ditiOns.

When you read one of these sto-
ries you have read them all. Al
though the behavior of ghosts may
appear eccentric when judged by the
standard of conduct prevailing
among the living, their habits are,
in fact, more regular, they seem to
possess little character or original
ity, and probably their ideas are very
limited, says London Truth. Some of
them walk along the passage or up
the stairs; others knock on the walls
or furniture, ring bells, slam doors
or break crockery; now and then
you come across one who shriekes;
and there seem to be a few stray
specimens who appear (and disap-
pearl. But their faculties do not go
beyond this. A very remarkable
proof of their limitations, or their
slavish adherence to tradition, is
that, though have before me at the
present moment dozen authenti-
Gated ghosts who have been heard
walking upstairs, there seems to be
no case on record in which ghost
has been heard walking down. Why
ANYBODY should think it worth while
to chronicle the movements of such
uninteresting creatures | cannot un-
derstand. An account of the days
Coiugs of flock of sheep would be
very much more exciting.

peculiar way of carrying the gold
which they find in the beds of streams

put into large quills as transparent as

work it up into the form of circles of

without closing the circle, for he pHr-
