TWO GHOSTS.

Nora Teck was afraid of ghosts. Pa
rents argued, friends jested; yet she
would wake at midnight, TO crouch,
trembling. beneath the bedclothes at
bit of drapery stirred by the wind.
1t was at the close of sultry Sabbath
that Nora attended alone st. Stephens
vesper service. Whether the rector's
voice was more melodious than usual.
or whether the heavy, perfumed air
drowsed her senses, it is certain that,
comfortably ensconced in the dusky
pew corner, she leaned her head upon
her hand and slept.
Worshipers went their way, the sex
ton hurriedly completed his task, and
the girl, in her filmy white gown, slum-
bered unnoiced.
Late that evening the soprano of st.
Stephens Glanced to want a piece of
music which she had left in the church,
across the way from her home, and her
young friends challenged her to fetch
it unattended. Accordingly, possess
ing herself of key and a candle, she
entered the gloomy building just as
the tower clock struck eleven.
The small candle threw weird shad-
ows about her white-cIad figure as she
crossed the vestry and entered the
choir. Then a sudden gust slammed
the door by which she had come and
put out the light. She was not left in
total darkness, for the moonshlne, fl
Illuminating the stained-glass windows,
enabled her to keep her bearings.
In passing the altar, slight rustic
drew her eyes to the left, and there,
far down the nave, she saw dimly the
figure of a woman-a woman in white,

tons, but for an instant her heart

dropped to the floor.
When Nora came to herself in the
arms of the supposed ghost, with
plenty of lights and the people from
across the street to bear them COM
pany, explanations were made-explan-
ations that ended in jest and laughter.
Awakened by the slamming of the
door, Nora had believed herself to be
looking at veritable spirit, and, terri

GIRL SAVES A BOYS LIFE.

Robert Taylor Fox, the fourteen
year-old son of Charles T. Fox, of
Wayne, Pa, tried to board a moving
train at the Pennsylvania Railroad
station at Haverford. AS Nora Burke,
n housemaid, walked across the plat
form she saw young Fox hanging help
lessly to the handrail of one of the
cars. He was being dragged along
the platform by the train. Ahead, in
his path, lay the baggage stand, pro-
jectlng above the level of the platform.
Even If he had not fallen down be-
tween the platform and the train, the
boy would probably have been crushed
to death between the train and this
projection. Realizing his predicament
young Fox let go the handrail and tried
to fling himself out on the platform.
but the momentum of the train rolled
him over toward the edge. Nora seized
the boy as one leg was hanging over
the platform and dragged him to
safety.

to the south polar regions The three
men who shared the hardships of that
dreadful antarctic winter were DIR. ].
Gunnar Anderson and two of the
ships men who left the steamer in an
endeavor to reach by sledge Doctor
Nordenskiold's camp, one hundred and
fifty miles to the southwest. Sledging
proved to be exceedingly difficult, and
by the time the little party reached
land their strength and resources were
nearly exhausted.
The twilight was lengthening, the
long night would soon fall, and they
knew that If they tried to make the
march of one hundred miles southwark
they would certainly perish. There
was nothing to do but to go into camp
and live out the winter somehow or
other. They had about three weeks
supply of food, three sleeping bags, a
piece of tarpaulin aLG tent, a few
knives and cooking utensils, one needle,
and nothing to wear but summer cloth
} ing.
They put up their tent and encircled
1t with stone wall. Over the whole
they spread their tarpaulin. When
the snow came it covered all save the
entrance. They We're thus able through
perature of only a little below the
freezing point.
Within a few miles there were plenty
of penguins waiting to be shot, and by
the time the winter night had fairly
fallen they had killed and frozen about
four hundred of these birds.
Penguins are not good eating. but
they were the staff of life to those
three men that winter, eked out by a
mouthful or two of bread each day, n
bite now and then of preserved meat,
and the flesh of seals occasionally
killed for oil. Every one has heard of
the revulsion of stomach and nerves
from which men suffer when they try
to eat quail a day for thirty days.
1t can be imagined. then, that nothing
but the fear of death would drive them
no eat the coarse and greasy penguin
every day for seven months. The ac-
compllshment of the feat shows what
men can do when necessity drives.
But the hardest part of their lot,
after all, was the protracted cOnfine-
ment during the long, stormy winter.
Seal blubber was too scarce TO be used
excepting when the meals were to be
cooked, and so, for days at time, the
three men curled up in their sleeping
bags in pitchy darkness with nothing
to do but listen to the bowling of the
polar storm. For seven long months
they led such a life.
When the spring came they found
fhpir way 70 tbe pan1n They Upra so
changed that Doctor Nordenskiold did
not recognize them until they told their
names. They We're black as coal from
head to foot, with long black hair
hanging down over their shoulders.
The dogs took fright at the forbidden
black creatures, and bolted in every
xdirection.
A full description of their expert
ences will be of service to future ex-
plorers in distress during the survey
of the desolate and stormy southern
land.

TO WASH A FLANNEL WAIST.

IL w Ash ~ ha4NNEb w <NitSis
This is not difficult task. even for
the inexperienced person, but like
everything of its kind, it needs little
care TO prevent the blouse shrinking.
First make some soap jelly and dis
solve two tablespoonfuls of it in half
gallon of warm water. Add one tea
spoonful of ammonia. and put the
blouse in this, letting it soak for about
ten minutes; wash the blouse in the
usual way, taking care to rub the parts
which are most soiled; no soap must be
rubbed on the blouse. Squeeze the
water out and wash the blouse in
fresh water prepared in the same way.
Put it through the ringer, then rinse 1t
in clear tepid water, to which ammo
mia has been added in the same propor-
ton as to the lather. Again put it
through the wringer; fold it evenly and
pass it through again and yet again.

Wilmington n c.. August 9.-Alice
Owens 81 years Of age, a native of
Augusta, Ga, and an inmate of a
house of questionable character in the
vicinity of Eighth and Castle streets
was shot and instantly killed last
midnight in hcr bed room by Tom
Lamb, young white man employed
as q timer ~ the Atlantic Coast Line
at Florence, S. G.. The ball took erect
in the woman's lift broa~t and she
died with her lips sealed as to any mo-
tive for the tragedy.
There were in the room at the time
another female occupant of the house
and a young paintc2 of this city who
are unable to account for the killing.
The four were laughing and talking
together, the Owens woman being
seated by a bed in the room. Lamb
was standing and without uttering a
word or making any intimation of his
nurpOse TO kill the woman, drew his
nistoI and sent a ball into her
breast. He was Immediately taken
in custody by the police and is belnS
held pending an inquest by coroner S
Jury empanelled to inquire into the
circumstances of the killing.
Lamb is of a good family and has
some means. Able counsel will defend
him at the trial He claims the shoot
ing was an accident and as he was
led out of the room he knelt down
where the woman lay in pool OF
her own blood and embraced her. He
had been insanely enamored of the
woman for several years ana came
here from Florence about three weeks

New York Aug. 9.-The hundreds
of merchants who were in the dry
goods market today slowly realized
that they must pay sellers prices or
go without the goods. Regular
customers were better treated than US
ual bueds. Bleached goods were ex-
tremely scarce. Today prominent

New York. Aug. 9.-After early
steadiness, the cotton market turned
easier and just about lost the gains
of the previous day. The opening
was steady at an advance of 3 to 5
points in response to higher cables
and continued bull support, while wire
houses with Southern connections also
had buying orders on reports of firm
interior holders. The weather map
was considered very favorable, how
eve with good rains in the South
west, and the days receipts showed
an increasing new crop movement,
promoting considerable selling for
both accounts, which, after "a slight
advance from the opening figures,
caused a artial reaction, followed by
a second bulge, carrying October to
1884 or about 9 to 10 points net
higher on the active months. But
at the advance bull support was par
TALLY withdrawn, and during the mid
die session the market acted nervous
and unsettled with bears becoming
more aggressive, and before the close
liquidation aided in promoting weak
ness The final tone was steady, but
prices were within a couple of points
of the lowest at a net decline of to
10 points. Sales were estimated at
100000 bales. Southern spot mark
cts were unchanged to 1-Sc. higher.

Asheville, n. c.. Aug. LEROY
Brohun, a 14-year-Old paper carrier
in the employ of the Citizen Company,
was on his way to the office of that pa
per early yesterday morning, when in
passing through the Short Bailey or
Scratch Ankle section, a man stepped
out from behind a clumD.O of bushes on
the side of tho road and without
warning, drew a pistol and fired. The
ball struck the paper carrier in the
breast and lodged under the arm. He
fell, but quickly regaining his feet
ran for his home on Victoria avenue,
screaming for help.
Those living near were awakened by
the lads cries and learning what had
