HAUNTED BY ELEPHANTS GHOSTS.

A Superstition That Has to Do With
the Natives of an Asiatic Region.
From the Straits Budger of singa-
pore.
In the last number of the Journal
of the Straits branch of the Royal
Asiastic Society there appears an in
teresting article from the pen of Mr..
A. D. Machado on the supposed evil
influence of ghosts. He says:
"Some four years ago, when l was
engaged in certain prospecting opera
lions in the highlands of Pahang, on
the borders of that state with Perak
1 had occasion to make someWhdt
legnthy stay at a place called hampar
on the Tue river, one of the trlDu-
taries of the Betok, in its turn trlDu-
tary of the Jelai. the principal 1eGer
of the Pahang river. l selected TINS
spot because it had already been clear
ed of large trees and had only recently
been in occupation as a Sakai settle-
ment, from the remains of which we
reared our unpretentious little camp;
The Sakais, however, strongly adVlseu
us to go elsewhere, alleging that TINS
place was haunted by elephant gnosls'
and that they had been the dlrect
cause of a number of deaths, prlncl-
pally among their children, whose re-
mains lie buried there.
1t is necessary to explain that at
the back of this place, not fifty yards
away, is to be seen one of those pc
culiar muddy pools which animals Oh
all kinds frequent for their saline prop
critics, this particular one being known
as the Kubang Gajah Hantu (the muu
pool of the ghostly elephants). THESE
salt lakes are also known as genuts III
Malay. When the Sakais refer TO TINS
place it is usually with bated preatn
and a mysterious and awesome GEES
ture. These men declared that almost
nightly elephants are seen and heard
breaking twigs and branches and wal
lowing in this mud pool, and yet IN
the morning not a vestkge of thelr
spoor can be seen anywhere. Or TINS
/ am certain, the prints of deer anu
pigs were always plentiful and fresh
but no elephant could have been Win
in miles of the place during my resi-
dence in that locality. My mandor
w1fe, an oldish person, who always
followed her husband in his journeys
doing the cooking for my followers,
declared that the first night we slept
there she and all my men heard con-
tinued, long drawn walls, like ions
wee-e-e-e which went on without IN
Permission until almost daylight. rms
noise, they said, came from those "a
kai children buried there.
This account is interesting from az
chronological standpoint In so far ~ u
illustrates the beliefs and superstition
OF a race OF very primitive people ~
for the number OF children dying ~

How Bachelor Came to See the Ere,
Of His Ways.
A curious tale is told of youcg
man from Grants Pass, Oregon, WHO
was cured of the bachelor habit By
"mud-dauber" wasps. The hero tells
the story on himself OF how he was
working in a mine near his native
town and at the end of hard days
work always tumbled into his bunl!
in an old log cabin without taking the
trouble to arrange his blankets. The
cabin was infested with 'iaud.dau b-
ers," and one day several of these To-
Gated themselves in the miners bed.
The young man retired without cere-
mony that evening but he arose again
very rapidly. According to his own
statement, which may perhaps best be
taken with grain Of caution, he flew
clear to the roof and knocked off half
a dozen or more shakes, came down,
kicked over the table and otherwise
gave evidence of worried man for
several minutes. The wasps ended his
bachelor career, for the miner went
next day to Grants Pass and secured

ty bride.

bankruptcy court-a sequel to the

made merry and Whistler with them.
1t was said that Whistler, the man of

at last-he could not make an arrange

comedies enacted in Whistlers home,
