The Ghost of TrichinopoIy.


 Y The ghost may be seen on most nights between the hours of Il and 2 on the Tennur road She is a most beautiful creature who walks out oi the river with her clothes all wet, water dripping from her long silken tresses, and she carries in her right hand-no, not piece of soap nor an antiquated toothbrush-merely brass lotah. If any person attempts to ap. proach her she merely points the fore finger of her left hand at him and he dies! The ghost was originally one of the temple dancing girls famous all over the town for her striking beauty. The temple authorities raised objec' tions to her bathing there and ordered her to creep out quietly at II every night and bathe in the river at Tennur where no one would see her. This she did for some time, but another temple girl gave away the secret, with the re- suit that the next night when bathing she heard the tramp of many feet and on. rushing out to see what was the matter was accidentally knocked into the river and drowned by the crowd of men rushing to the riverside to see her-Madras Mail.

A BEGGAR OF kHlvA.
Pathetic Figure Appealed to the Tray.
 eler from the East.

Once in an open square. where the dust pail forbade sight or breath, directed my steps toward the source of a throbbing roll that ceaselessly wove itself in with the noise of voices and the pattering of unshod feet or beasts. As I neared 1t the noise be- came detached from the hubbub. dis tinct and individual thing, which in- sistently claimed attention and made the very notes in the air dance to time. Under a willow tree, by the wa ter ditch that defined the square, sat a bent old man. unbelievably ragged. So torn were his many khalats that they did not seem like constructed garments at all. but strings of tatters and tags collected and hung on his fat, weak body. His head was bent on ms breast, and his eyes were half closed. On his stomas'h was a wooden. bowl. with a skin drumhead stretched across 1t, and on this drumhead he beat in- cessantly with his knuckles and his fist. The motion was so automatic and and deadly regular in Its recur- rent changes that it seemed almost as if he were a clockwork figure set at the edge of the busy market to record the passage of time. flung some cop pers on the brass begging tray by his side and went off, unconsciously ad- justing my steps to his beating. He made the trivial barter and the driv- ing of laden animals seem vapid and futile. and my bit of charity sickened me. It was as if had happened along and patted Socrates on the back Century.

AWFUL COST OF WARFARE.
Human Lives and Treasure Expended
 on the Battlefield.

In the so-called glorious" victories of Caesar a million men perished on the field of battle. Napoleon, in the short space of nine years. was author ized to devote $p "the glory of France" 2,1O3,O0 of her sons. In me ten years following the attack on Fort Somter the world destroyed in war 100000 lives and six billion dollars worth of property. Two-thirds of the combined budget of the various states of Flu rope are devoted to the maintenance of armed forces and to the service of a debt practically the whole of which was incurred by wars. War expenses in Europe absorb one-half of all the wealth created by productive labor. In the comparatively insignificant war of England with the Boers England lost 22,450 men and spent l.40o. .ooo.. 900. Three hundred and fifty thousand men were withdrawn by her from pro. ductive industry to engage in the de struction of war. Military sxpendi' lures in the United States during the last eight years have absorbed one and half billion dollars.-Interna tional Journal of Ethics.

TURNED HIM INTO A FREAK.
Yovna Man's Unfortunate Experience
 With a "Halr Wash"


 There is a young resident of the up. nor western section of the town who is blessed with dignity beyond ms years. and with sister whose years, albeit these number but "A. are pe' yond her common sense. says the New York Press. One night, having an extra guest, and the sister being away at at seashore, Binks occupied his sis ter's room for the night. Discovering on her toilet table a bottle marked hair wash, and thinking that perhaps his own not over luxurian crop re- uuired attention, he applied the con tents of the bottle literally to his scalp locks, rubbing 1t in with thor Oughness.
 The following day, two hours before any business house opened its doors, an individual with slouch hat pulled down over his ears and having all the signs of dementia went speeding down town on the subway express. Wild eyed and incoherent he, sought the es tablishment of one of the best hair dressers in town.
 He has repeated his visit to the shop every morning since that time and the specialist is slowly removing by occult processes known to his trade, the brilliant gold streaks whicf were so noticeable amid the Jett! black of the remainder of the coinure

Money Profit in Rose Growing.

Rose growing for purposes of per fumery would seem to be profitable pursuit in those lands of which the climate is suitable for this species of intensified farming. It is calculated that on the third year after being planted a bush should produce about 200 flowers per square foot. As there are about 5000 square feet in hec- tare, or about two and half acres, this is equal, if a flower is estimated to weigh four grams, to about 6,40O kilograms of flowers per acre. On the basis of eight decimeters of pure essence per kilogram of petals. this would give 5,12O kilograms of essence per hectare. which. at the very mod crate rate of $40 per kilogram. would yield G204 16s. Sd. per hectare.- London Globe.

Quite Prepared.

The members of ladies' ambulance class were being instructed the other day what to do in the case of a wounded artery in the arm or leg, namely, that the bleeding might be stopped by tying handkerchief tight ly over a pad with the aid of a ruler. The question was then asked:
 How would you proceed in the case of a person bleeding from a bad wound in the head?" To this one of the young ladies vol unteered the following decisive rem edy:
 q would tie handkerchief round the neck, apply pad to the throat and with a ruler inserted under the knot at the back of the neck, tighten the handkerchief till the bleeding ceased"

Pictured Hay Fever.

Tn Paris there is just now proceed ing a seasonable discussion on hay fever. concerning which an amusing instance of the capricious nature of the infection Is related. A lady was quite proof against catching the sneez- ings of hay fever from either hay or any other flower or plant except one. The mere sight of rose used to set her sneezing violently. Knowing her weakness she carefully avoided these flowers. but one day she carclessly stopped bef5re a still life painting rep resenting a basket of roses. Almost instantly she was seized with sheer ing fit. Clearly imagination has its mart in the case.

THEN HE STOPPED LAUGHING
9yvlfIe's Simple Question Evidently
 Hard One to Answer.

Five young men went into store to buy a hat each.
 Seeing they were in joking mood, the clerk said, Are you married?
 They each said, Yes"
 "Then I'll give hat to the one who can truthfully say he has not kissed any other woman but his own wife since he was married
 Hand over hat" said one or the tparty. i've won It."
 When were you married?"
 "Yesterday," was the reply, and the hat was handed over. One of the others was laughing Heartily whilst telling his wife the joke, but suddenly pulled up when she said:

WHY HE WAS NOT A SUCCESS.

He depended too much on books.
 He became saturated with other mems thoughts.
 His mind was clogged with theories and impracticable facts.
 He thought his education was oom- plete when he left college.
 He regarded his diploma as an an- surance policy against failure.
 He knew languages and sciences, but was ignorant of human nature.
 He had never assimilated what he learned and was crippled by mental dyspepsia.
 He knew Latin and Greek, but could not make out bill of goods or bill of sale. n ...,..
 He was well posted in political economy, but could not write decent business letter.
 He mistook stuffed memory for an education. knowledge for power, and scholarship for mastership.
 He thought that the world would be at .his feet when he left college, and made no effort to win its favor. His four years in the world of books left him permanently out of joint with the world of practical af- fairs. The stamina of the vigorous, inde- pendent mind he had brought from the farm was lost in academic refine ments.
 He thought that his four years col l lege course had placed him immeas- urably above those who had not had 1 that advantage.
 The habit of discriminating minute. ly, weighing, balancing and consider. ing all sides of subject destroyed his power of prompt decision. He knew enough but could not manage it effectively-could not trans. mute his knowledge into practical power.-O. S. Warden in Success Mag azine.

 If you want things to come your way you must go after them.
 He who yields to temptation is gen orally looking for the chance.
