Prohibition Sentiment in the
 South.

The southern states afe keeping temperance and prohibition to the fore, and it argues well for these measures when two aspirants for tie office of governor bring their temperance records forward as the best and most acceptable proof of their fitness for the position. It IS also significant that such record Is the most readily accept ed by their constituents. In Tennessee Senator Garmack and eX-Governor "Bob" Taylor, are each vieing with the other as to the amount of temperance work undertaken and accomplished, and the length of time devoted to its interests, while Texas poli- tieians are stirred up over the re- port that plans have been matur- ed to preeipitate the prohibition question into the state Demo cratic campaign, with a view to promoting the nomination of the candidate for governor who will declare himself in favor of Con- stitutional Amendment providing for state prohibition Of the liquor traffic.

IN A HAUNTED CHAMBER.
Readable Tale of the T.s.nsfe- nation of an English Buffers Fat
 Calves.

This relates the Nav York Sun, is the tale she brought home of the haunted chamber of the English country house:
 It was late in November" she said, when I went to stop for a few days with Lady G-, in Kent. The Pines was q renowned old place both for hos pitality and picturesqueness
 The house. a two-story rambling structure which stood in among the great pine trees and was almost covered with ivy, was haunted, so every one said. Two little girls had been brutally murdered some hundred years before; their cries could be heard at twilight, and sometimes the little figures were seen in the library. also hurryinS through the corridors.
 The servants were afraid to pass tho library at that hour. As am not nervous person. I had no fear, although Esther had told some thrilling tales as she combed my hair in the morning.
 Tt happened on this particular after noon of which I am writing that Lady G took her guests out riding. I pleaded headache-I do not ride-as 1 had some important letters to write and 1t seemed the only opportunity. The letters written, sank into one of those great grandfather chairs to doze.
 "A splendid log fire burned on the hearth, and the cracking sparks chased each other up the wide old chimney. The weather was quite chilly, and the evenings closed in early at this time of year. I lost myself in slumberland.
 Presently. for it seemed only mo- ment since l sat down. awoke with the terrible feeling of some unknown pres ence being near The room was almost dark. few embers still glowed on.the hearth and shed faint light.
 T pluekily peeped through my half closed lids. for. really, I was afraid to open my eyes, truly afraid-of whate I knew not Esthers stories seemed to burn themselves into my brain in an in stant
 At this moment I diseerned two little figures dressed in white fitting across the room. The spirits!' thought Unable to bear the agony any longer, | screamed.
 Pardon num- said Simmonds. the butler. I am just going to light the lamps. l have brought tho after noon tea.
 Now I understood the situation perfectly. Simmonds' white silk stockinged calves were the figures ! had seen moving about as he put ths tea things down. and thus ends my belief in the tales of haunted houses."

THOSE EXTENDED FINGERS
Popular Misconception of Long Standing at Last Cleared
 Up

A social philosopher has discovered that an act very commonly regarded as an affectation of gentility. as found in the manner of holding a drinking glass when drinking from it, is < not an affectaton at all but really an un- conscious automatic act, says the New York Sun
 This supposed affectation consists in extending the third and fourth fin gers of the hand clear of the glass when it is lifted and tipped forward with it's brim to the lips and while the glass is held there in the act of drinking. No doubt it would common Iy he considered that people do this for the sake of greater elegance, or at least from an instinctiye desire to give to the hand such an appearance. which it would not possess if they closed the entire hand around the glass-if they clutched it, so to speak. manner of holding that would seem to sayor of rudeness.
 But this observers says that really people hold those two fingers clear of the glass in drinking because that IS the way that is most convenient. If, he says, person should grasp the glass with the whole hand closed snug lv around 1t he would find that the act of tipping the glass so held re- oufred more muscular effort, for the muscles extending from all the fin- gers would then be called into use. Whereas If the person drinking holds the glass between the thumb and the first two fingers he not only relieves entirely the tension on the muscles of the two other fingers, but also in way he pivots the glass and makes 1t easier to tip on that account. Thus the separation of the two fingers from the glass is a perfectly natural act
 This philosopher comedies that the act may be exaggerated; that fingers thus extended might even be seen raised and extended more than
