GHOSTS IN ROYAL PALACE.
Hampton Court said to Have Visitors
From the Spirit World.

Hampton Court Said 10 rave Nlslto's
From the Spirit World.
At Hampton Court palace, near Lon
don, are, according to report, several
ghosts. all of which belong to the
Tudor period. First is Jane Sey-
mour," says a writer, who, clad IN
white garments, and carrying a light
ed candle, ascends the queens stair
case on the anniversary of the birth
of her son, Edward vi. The ghost was
laid by the opening up OF the stair
case. Mrs. Penn, the nurse and foster
mother of Edward vi, is the most per
sistent ghost. Since her grave was
disturbed in Hampton church her
gaunt figure in a long gray robe has
walked the vicinity of her old rooms
and the whirring Of her spinning
wheel has been heard by several peo
pie. The board of works instituted an
inquiry and discovered walled-uI
room with an old spinning-wheel, the
treadle of which appeared to have
worn the oaken flooring. The third
Tudor ghost is Catherine Howard, who
IS reputed to haunt a gallery about &c

Animals Flourish In New Zealand.

Experts say that probably there is
no country in the world where I'M
ported species of animals, wild and do
mestic, have fiourished as they have
done In New Zealand. The red deer
grow to over 500 pounds in weight in
the forests, the trout to twenty pounds
IN the rivers. The sheep have not
expanded to any giant size, but they
multiply at faster rate than else.

Footed Thousands Of Miles

1t is astonishing what distances can
be covered by men who are by no
means pedestrians in the ordinary ex.
ercise of their callings. The organist
of church in rural England who died

miles to play his organ every Sunday.

WRITER'S AND THEIR WIVES.
In Very Few Cases Has There Been
Complete Sympathy.

In Very Few Cases Has There Been
Complete Sympathy.
Writers wives are unappreciative
as a rule of their husbands work, .
said publisher. For instance, Nine.
lola never read a single one of the
ACKNOWLEDGMENT series. She thought
that Zola's books were wicked.
That, of course. is an extreme case.
But Carlyle's wife did not think much
OF the hectoring, whining Scot she
had married. She and Froude used to
sit together and discuss Carlyle's
faults in low tone. She admired Car
lyle's talent, but she thought it was
overrated. The public of to-day ap-
pears to agree with her, for Carlyle,
for a. classic. sells miserably.
Dickens wife didn't like Dickens
books. She could see no humor in
them. That was one of the reasons
why she and Dickens lived apart
"Byron's wife disapproved of his
poetry. She thought that for a lord
to write poetry was waste of time
She would constantly break into BY
ron's study and ask him to put his
silly rhymes aside.
Once Byron had an admiring friend
in the house and he hurried this friend
into his sanctun and began to read
Cain out loud. While he was reading
Lady Byron ran into the room.
"'Oh,' she said. oh, do I disturb
you, Byron?
Yes replied the poet, and he
continued his reading, and his wife
withdrew
Writers wives, as a rule, don't
Like their husbands work l think
they are jealous of It,"

surgeon at the Grocer hospital and one
Of the leading physicians Of Chester,
was defendant in a peculiar suit for
$40 goo damages in court here.
