Made eaIIows for Mouse.

There is a thirteen-year-old boy
living in Brooklyn who is noted for his
particularly mild. disposition and his
love for animals, in addition to his
fondness for constructing mechanical
;ontrivances from home made material.
On account of this latter prediction
his fond parents are certain that the
boy will n day become a great ia
ventor.
The two hobbies of the boy came into
abrupt contrast the other day when
his father entered the youngsters
workshop" to inspect the latest de-
vice. To his surprise he found it to
be a gallows of crude design and dang
ling from the end of the tiny rope
was a dead mouse The rodent't hind
teet were tied together and from them
depended a small weight. Another bit
Of cord dashed the fore feet tightly to
he body. The rope" proper passed
over the arm of the scaffold to the
rear of the gallows and attached to a
larger weight. This was held in place
by a series sof strings terminating in
one length which, when severed, would
permit the weight to fall, hosting the
victim" to the required height.
Turning to the boy the father said:
How could you eve find it in your
heart to kill that little mouse?"

6oac bava to he made in the interest
Of science."-New York Press.

Henry Irvina's Generosity.

In his "reminiscences of the late Sir
Henry Irving Joseph Hatton gives an
anecdote which shows the great actor
II the role of a good-humored philan-
thropist. A widow of an old Lyceum
theatre employe applied to him for
some sort of occupation about the
theatre whereby she might earn a liv-
ing. Irving appealed to Loveday, his
manager. There is absolutely no va
eancy of any kind" said Loveday.
Cant you give her a job to look
after the theatre cats? think we've
too many mice about, not to mention
rats"
NO." said Loveday, ''there are Twp
women already on that job"
eHum, ha, let me see," said Irving,
refectively, then suddenly brighten
ing with an idea: Very well, then,
give her the job of looking after the
two m who are looking after the
CATS" The widow was at once en-
gagged on the permanent staff of the
theatre.

FOOD HELPS

Speaking of food a railroad man
says:
"My work puts me out in all kinds of
weather. subject to irregular hours for
meals and compelled to eat all kinds OF
food.

heavy, fatty, starchy, greasy, poorly

each meal or lunch was followed by

my sleep and almost united me for

HANGED ON GHOSTS TESTIMONY
Peculiar Trials Found Among British
Court Records.

e
The testiony of a "ghost" would not
now count for much In a court of law,
but the day has been when 1t has suf-
feed to hang a 1t Is stated that
the original dispositions r in the
Bodleian library of a most remarkable
case Of this character.
A girl named Annie Walker was sup
posed to have been sent away for her
good by a substantial farmer. Some
time afterward a so-called apparition
appeared to a neighbor, with its head
all bloody from wounds, and telling
him that she had been murdered by
the farmer and an accomplish. Her
body, the apparition said, had been
buried in a spot which she described,
and she begged the mar to whom she
appeared to bring her murderers to
justice. True enough, the body was
found in the place mentioned and the
men were brought to trial. The SEN
sational character of the case was IN
tensifed by one of the jurymen de-
claring that he saw the child of the
dead woman Sitting upon the shout
der" of it's father, the farmer. Both
the culprits were hanged.
There was a ghostly accuser in a
case with which readers of Scott are
familiar. Soon after the "'45" an
English soldier wandering near Brae-
mar met a violent death. Hawks do
not peck out hawks cen and no man
opened his mouth to give a clew.
Years passed and then came a story
of a communication from another
world.
A farm servant declared that in the
night a spirit had appeared to him,
declaring itself to be the ghost of the
soldier, whose bones it said lay still
unburied. The Highlander must see
to their decent interment and have
the m~urderers, two men named,
brought to justice. The Highlander
promised, but did not keep his word,
and a second and third time the spirit
appeared and %upbraided him for his
breach of faith. Alarmed at last and
III lOnSSl ouiluS W UOloN, IL ho
called a companion, went to the spot
which the spirit had indicated and
there found the bones of the murdered
warrior concealed in a moorland tract
called the Hill of Christie.
The story of the Highlander came
to the ears of an an~ti-Jaoobite, who
caused the matter to be brought to
trial before the Court Of Justiciary,
Edinburgh. There the tale was cor
roborated by a who had seer a
naked figure enter the place on the
night spoken of by the man. 1t was
an age of superstition, in a district
more than commonly given to super
stitions, and the jury seemed disposed
to find the two men charged guilty Of
the murder. But it happened that the
principal witness spoke only Gaelic.
Now" said the counsel for the de-
fence, Gin what language did the ghost
speak?" "In as good Gaelic as l ever
heard in Lochaber," was the reply.
pretty good for the ghost Of an Eng"
fish SOLDIER" said counsel. And that
question and comment saved the
necks of the men at the bar. The jury
could believe in a ghost, but not in
an English ghost speaking Gaelic
