HANGED on Ghosts testimony.

Fror. the London Daily Standard.
The testimony of a ghost would not
now count for much In a court OF law. but
the day has been when IL has sufficed TO
hang a man. 1t is stated that the original
dispositions are In the Bodleian library OF q
most remarkable case OF this character.
A girl named Anne Walker was sup
posed to have been sent away for her good
by a substantial farmer. Some time after
ward a so-called apparitton appeared TO q
neighbor, with its head all bloody from
wounds, and telling him that she had been
murdered by the farmer and an accom-
plice. Her body, the apparition said, had
been buried in a spot which she described,
and she begged the man TO whom she
appeared to bring her murderers TO jus
tice. True enough. the body was found
in the place mentioned and the men were
brought TO trial. The sensational char
acter of the ease was intensified by one
of the Jurymen declaring that he saw the
child of the d-A woman sitting upon the
shoulder" of its rather, the farmer. Both
the culprits were hanged.
There was q ghostly accuser In a case
with which readers Of Scott are familiar.
Soon after the As" IN English soldier
wandering near Brsemar 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 communicable from another world.
A farm servant declared that In the
night a spirit had appeared 10 him, de-
Glazing itself to be the ghost OF the soldier,
whose bones II said lay still unburied. The
Highlander must see TO their decent IN
terment and AVE the murderers, two men
named, brought TO Justice, The Highland
er 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 no longer
daring 20 delay, the man called a com
panion. 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 anti-Jacobite, who caused the
matter to be brought to trial before the
court of justiciary, Edinburgh. There the
tale was corroborated by a woman who.
had seen a naked figure enter the place
on the night spoken of by the man. IT
was an age Of superstition, In a district
more than commonly given to supersti-
lions, and the jury seemed disposed to find
the two men charged guilty OF the muir
der. But 1t happened that the principal
witness spoke only Gaelic, Now said
counsel for the defense, lin what language
did the ghost speak?" In as good Gaelic
as / ever heard in Lochaber,' was the
reply. pretty good for the ghost Of an
English soldier" said counsel And that
question and omment saved the necks OF
the men at the bar. The jury could believe
in a ghost, but not in an English ghost
speaking Gaelic.

racks and on the field, Peruna is found
equally eficacious to overcome this
physical enemy If taken in time. II

catarrh. Even after a cold has settled
in some organ of the body, Peruna can
be relied upon as an eficacious remedy
to promptly overcome il.
peruna will relieve catarrh, whether
acute or chronic, bat a few doses Of 10
taken in the first stages Of the disease
will be more effective thar when the
disease has become established.

HoLsTEINs FOR THE DAIRY.

Formerly it was not generally considered,
that Holsteins were particularly suited
for dairy purposes in this country but that!
the idea was a mistaken one has been
shown by the number of successes made.
with the breed in this capacity. Dairymen'
who are authorities on the subject claim;
that a good sire at the head OF the herd
is one of the secrets of success and when,
this has been done some of the cows of
the herd show remarkable increases. The
milk from Holsteins is first class for but-j
ter makers and some of the records of the
breed in different parts of the country

decide the breed for himself accordingi
with the conditions he must meet on thet
market, in changing from a mixed orr
scrub stock to graded stock the merits of
the Holsteins demand full consideration !!

CHANGE OF PLANS OF THE
 W AGHINGTON LOBBY


 WASHINGTON LOBBY.
 The Washington correspondent of an eastern paper remarks that there has been change in the methods of lob- bying. The former direct plan of win ming or controlling votes by one scheme or another has been to large extent given up, and the later plan is Ito bring influence to bear upon the constituents of legislators through the bureaus of publicity, of which the rail- roads have given an example,
 It is stated that comparatively novel way in the evil of lobbying in renewing itself is found in the ef- fort to direct or influence the kind of news sent out by press representatives. This evil proceeds" 1t is said, mot so much from special interests them- selves as from a certain small number of representatives of those special in- terests themselves as from certain small number of representatives of those special interests who happen to be seated in sundry administrative po- sitions" It is asserted that in several of the different departments of the gov ernment a system has grown up of di- recting public opinion by the issue of so-called press bulletins, which are of ten we'll written and some of them honestly intended to afford information to the press of the country. On the other hand some have bias in favor of this or that cause or movement, An- other evil noted is in the form of mug zling the press, though it does not ap- pear that this has become particularly serious

More than likely you speak the same words yourself, and no doubt you feel far from well. The cause may be easily traced to some derangement of the fe- male organs which manifests itself in depression of spirits, reluctance to go anywhere or do anything. backache, bearing-down pains, flatulency, nerv- ousness, sleeplessness, or other fe- male weakness.
 These symptoms are but warnings that there is danger ahead, and unless needed life of suffering or serious operation is the inevitable result
 The never. failing remedy for all these symptoms is Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg etable Compound.
 Miss Kate Mcdonald of Woodbridge, N. J., writes
 Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
 HRestored health has meant 90 much to me that I cannot help from telling about it for the sake of other suffering women.
 e For long time l suffered untold agony with female trouble and irregularities, which made me physical wreck, and no one thought would recover, but Lydia E. Plpk- hams Vegetable Compound has entirely cured me, and made me well and strcng, and I feel it my duty to tell other suffering women what splendid medicine it is.

FIGURES OF PROSPERITY O.
 AMERICAN RAILWAYS.


 Some striking statistics bearing on the condition of American railways in 1905 have been published by Edward A. Moseley, secretary of the interestate commerce commission. There are to- day in our republic, 21500O miles of track (second tracks or sidngs not be- ing counted, eighty per cent, of which has been constructed since the close of the civil war. If second, third, and fourth tracks and sidings were to be included, we should now be able to point to 100000 miles of track
 We turn to the voulme of traffic transported. In 1894 the number of tons carried by all the railways of the United States was 63S,000,00O In 1904, only ten years later, it had more than doubled, having reached the astonish- | ing figure of 1909 100000 tons. The date for the whole of 1905 are not yet access sible, but it is known that the volume of freight traffic has signally increased during the twelve-month. The number l of passengers carried in 1895 was 527,- 42l,0OO; 1t had risen in 1904 to 715,419,- GOO and has mounted considerably high CT during 1905.
 Few of us appreciate how many men are needed to transact such a colossal business. As a matter of fact, there are in the service of American railways to- day more than a million and quarter of men. Of this multitude of employees, 52,151 are engine men, 55,OOO are firemen, 10000 are conductors, and other train men comprise 106,7S4. The number of engines in active use Is 47,OO0, the num- Der of passenger cars 10000 and of freight cars 1.76O,OOO. These cars and engines, if placed in line, would en- l circle the glnha-Harnar,s Weekly
