He Scared Away the Ghost.

A jealous young curate went to stay
with some friends at a country house.
On descending to breakfast each morn.
ing he noticed his hostess inquired
particularly how he had slept, and
seemed relieved when he said he had
passed a very good night. On the last
morning. his hostess said: Mr.. =
you perhaps noticed how very particu-
lar we we're in our inquiries every
morning as to how you had slept but
the truth is that the room you occupied
is said to be haunted, and we were
anxious to know il you had seen the
ghost"
"The ghost" repeated the curate,
thoughtfully. ooh, yes, do remember
the first night I was there some fellow
came and stood by my bedside"
s.., "Oh!" said the company with great
interest, land what did you do?"
Il said, Please, will you give me a
subscription for my Sunday SCHOOL,
He instantly disappeared and l never
saw him again" H..

A CURE FOR DEBILITY
Dr. Williams Pink Pills A Reliable
Remedy for the Weak, AiIins
and BloodIoss.

When the body is weak and the blood
thin it is sometimes difficult to find the
cause unless a wasting illness has pre-.
coded, or the sufferer happens to be a
girl on the verge of womanhood.
Obscure influences, something I'M
healthful in one S surroundings or work,
may lead to d slow impoycriShment Of
the blood and an enfeeblement Of the
whole body. When a serious stage has
been reached there seems to be nothing
that will account for it.
Mr. G. K. Legg, of Upton, W. Va,
has found Il successful method Of treat
ing weakness and bloodlessueSs. He
says;
Il used DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
weakness caused by lingering malarial
fever that began in the spring OF 1896.
The worst effects Of this were iudiges-
ton and u bad state Of my blood. Twas
anamic, rs the doctors say. People
generally would say that | didn't have
blood enough, or that | didn't have the
right kind Of blood mine was too thin.

was badly annoyed by sour risings
from my stomach. There was q good
deal of pain, too, III my back and under
my right shoulder blade"
Glow long did these troubles LAST"
"For over two years. For four
months of that time l WAS under the
care of physician, but his medicine did
me no good. Meanwhile l learned Of
the cures that had been wrought by DR..
Williams Pink Pills"
"You owe your cure to these pills ?"

they are helping Others to whom have

merit and know ofpothing that would

The Pretty French CurIs.

The favorite joke in regard to the
Spretty girl losing her. French curls,
as, the coquettish beau catchers are
now called, is with us again. Even
very young women make no pretence
as to the bunch of bobby little curls
being natural. The man who believes
they are rooted in a womens head
must be an innocent indeed. Surely
he must notice that they are movable
decorations. Even the ba.shful bride
has no h9sitancy about pulling out her
bunch of cuTlS and standing them up
IN the hat pin holder on her dresser.
A Philadelphia girl has an amusing
tale appropos, of a naughty brother
and bunch of curls. There was
dance at the house that evening, and
during a. lulT there stood brother in
the doorway with a posy of curls in his
hand Holding them up in full view,
he exclaimed, Say, what girl lost
theSe?" And Instantly almost every
maiden in the room started and
.elapped her hand to her head.-Brook-

When Coal Was Not Popular.

Sir Oliver Lodges denunciation Of
coal fires as the chief cause of London
Jog was anticipated more than 200
Years ago by Evelyn. He attributed
the great fog of 1854 to the "fuliginous
steam Of the sea-coale" Twenty-three
years earlier he had spoken even more
fercely of the "hellish and dismal
burning of sea-coale" in his "Fumifu,
GUM; or, The Inconvenience of the
Aer and Smoke of London Dissipated,
Together with Some Remedies. u
Among the remedies for Londons at,
inospheTe advocated by Evelyn were
the expulsion o. noxious trades, the
Femoval O. burials from towns and the
planting Of the suburbs with sweet
flowers.

New Kind of Peat.

Osmon is the new peat success. 1t
is manufactured in Switzerland. The
peat is dried under the influence of
the electric current and then further
treated so that under the action of
electric osmose a new compound is
formed. Recent tests indicate that 1t
burns as well as coal, without giving
off odor or smoke. The percentage
of ash is said to be slight and no trace
of sulphur is found In the fuel. 1t is
said to be free from all corrosive in
fiuences on the boilers and furnaces
in which it Is burned.
