: FEAR OF GHOSTS.
Harmless Visitors From Whom We All
Shrink In Terror.

Deep down in the heart of man there
abides firm belief in the power of the
dead to walk upon the earth and af-
fright, if such b their pleasure, the
souls of the liytn& Wise folks. versed
in the sciences and fortified in mind
against faith in aught that savors of
the supernatural, laugh ideas of the
kind to scorn. yet hardly one of them
will dare to walk alone through
graveyard in the night, or if one be
found so bold he will surely hasten his
footsteps. unable wholly to subdue the
fear of sheeted specters which may
rise from the grass grown graves o..
emerge. from moonlit tombS and follow
on. for strangely enough, the dead, If
not actually hostile to the living. are
esteemed dangerous and dreadful to
encounter.
1t used to he the fashion, sRyS a writ
err in Lippincott's Magazine, TO sweep
away all such notions by saying that
they had their origin in the childhood
of the race and that they sprang from
fear of the unknown. This unques-
tionably was the easiest way to dis
pose of them, but was it fair? The
subject possesses intense interest for a
great majority of mankind, and, though
the existence of ghosts is improved.
there is undenably n vast deal of tes-
timony in their behalf that deserves
serious and respectful consideration.
Fortunately. within the last few years

problem has altogether changed. and,
actuated by a new spirit of inquiry, the
wise men have been engaged, thought
fully and without prejudice, in study
ing it out
While it cannot be said that any final
and definite conclusions have as yet
been reached, an immense amount of
show pretty conclusively for one point
that the traditional specter of the Cock
Lane school. with clanking chain and
attributes disagreeably suggestive of
the grave. has no basis in fact On the
other hand, there are certain phantoms,
altogether different in their character

would be required to establish com
plete proof in any ordinary case in a
court of law. Nothing short of abso-
| lutte demonstration in such a matter
can be satisfactory. but the evidence
In question certainly staggers incre-
dulity
Our fear Of phantoms appears to
spring from /; dread of the unknown
| the mysterious and the intangible
| That it is a groundless terror is proved
| by the fact that in many thousands OF
cases Of alleged spectral appearances
subjected during the last few years to
| painstaking investigation not Il single
instance has been found in which an
injury was inflicted by the ghost upon
| the person or persons to whom it pre-
| sented itself SO that, even il we are
to accept apparitions as veritable. we
ought 10 regard them with curiosity
rather than with apprehension. and in
stead of trying 10 avoid such supernat
ural visitors we should eagerly seek ar
opportunity to be haunted for the sake
of observing for ourselves phenomena
so intensely interesting.

The Work of Wreckers.

Southern railway officials suspect
that the wreck at Richland, few days
age, in which eleven persons were
injured, was the resul: of the switch
at that point, haying been tampered
with. Detectives are now at work try
ing to fix the blame.
Investigation has shown that the last
train using the switch near Richland
was No. II, which reaches Atlanta
about p. m. After No. II had passed,
Nos 43 and As went safely over the
main track, not entering the switch and
in no way impairing it. The next train
to come was the one which was wreck.
ed. That train wreckers have been at
work seems conclusive. Every
effort will be made to find the guilty
persons.

I-sc of Lime.

Can you explain the use OF lime!
Does it burn out hunlus in the soil
or does it only free potash and phos-
phoric acid, in which case it would
not be injurious, as the elements
freed would be appropriated by plant
life? ]. E. B. r., Remove, Pa. An
swer:-Lime performs a valuable
service to plant growth by rendering
the potash Of the soil more avail
able. 1t prevents the soluble phos-
phoric acid in fertilizers from form
ing a base with iron or alumina,
which is undesirable because phos-
pilates of iron and alumina are In
soluble. Lime also promotes the de-
composition of organic substances
humus, sod, etc. It hastens the
change of ammonia into nitric acid,
and sweetens the soil.-The Country
Gentleman.

Age Limits Of Dairy Cows.

A bulletin from the Wisconsin Sta
tion states that a cow is at her best
during her fifth and sixth years, up
to which time the production OF milk
and butter fat by COWS in normal
condition increases each year. The
length of time the COW will maintain
her maximum production depends on
her constitution, strength and the
care with which she is fed and man
aged. A good dairy COW should not
show any marked falling off until
after ten years of age. Many excel
lent records have been made By COWS
older than this. The quality OF the
milk produced by heifers is somewhat
better than that OF older cows, for
decrease has been noted OF one to
two-tenths of one per cent. in the av-
erase fat content for each year until
the COWS have reached the full age.
This is caused by the increase in the
weight of the COWS with advancing
age. At any rate, there seems to be
a parallelism between the two sets OF
figures for the same COWS. Young ami
mails use a portion of their food for
the formation of body tissue, and 1t
is to be expected, therefore, that
heifers will require a larger portion
of nutrients for the production OF
milk or butter fat than do other COWS.
After certain age has been reached,
on the average seven years OF age'
the food required for the production
of a unit of milk or butter fat again
increases, both as regards dry matter
and the digestible components OF the
food. A good mich COW of excep-
tional strength, kept under favorable
conditions, whose digestive system
has not been impaired by overfeedlng
or crowding for high results, should
continue to be profitable producer
till her twelfth year, although the
economy Of her production is apt to
be somewhat reduced before this age
is reached.

Neoro Attacks Preacher.

Considerable excitement prevailed
the past week about the town Of Troy
over a murderous assault upon Rev.
+. R. Bradley by a negro farm hand
named John Zuber. The negro was OF
dered to do some farm work by Mr..
Bradley, and was reprimanded for not
attending to it,whereupon he attacked
the preacher with knife, gashing him
once on each side of the throat and
down the back Zuber escaped and
nearly every man in the community
began securing the woods in the
search. He was finally caught at Clin-
ton, in Launrens county, and turned
over to Sheriff Mcmillan a. Gresn-
wood.
No lynching is feared, as the sheriff
will protect his prisoner at all hazards.
The sheriff had offered 500 reward for,
the arrest of the negro and the govern
or had decided tod offer a similar
amount when he was apprised CT the
negro's capture.

THE CANDLE.

SNor do men light a candle and put It
under a bushel Mat. 5:l5.
Your candle is 50 small. SO small,
1t makes scarce any hSnt:
The feeble word YOU may let fall.
Has neither strength nor lnlChi:
And there ne many create" ones
Who oUtShne you by far,
As do the Sky-illumirg suu>
Outgrow the fartneSt star:
But of all good sounds ever heard >.
There is none ha:f so fair
As one uacalculatc:, word
That sootheS some dim despair.
And what dull sky it would be
if all the points of light
Were gone, and We might only see
The suns OF wondrous might.
He who holds up MS little flame
Knows not what straining eyes
Nav find it guiding them from shame
into paradise:
All may not climb the lofty steep,
All may not lead the throng.
But each may shelter and may keep
Aglow some word or song.
We know not how our candle CLEANS,
1t may be sconce1 in gold.
Or it may send it's cheering CLEANS
From some cup worn and old.
And that which fate has held apart
From pathways wide and grand,
May glow with light which finds heart
Attuned to understand.
The little word, the little smile,
The little song You know
These make the candle all the while
That we must keep aglow.
And we may think it's trembling light
Unnoticed by all eyes
But there is greater dark of night
When that lone candle dies.

Feeding and Milk.

The fact that proper feed and good
care do make a difference in the
amount of milk which cow will
give is shown by the following, from
the Modern Farmer:
Here is an illustration of the in
duence Of proper feeding and good
care, and perhaps, proper milking.
The editor of the Modern Farmer
bought out of dairy herd young
Jersey that had been giving milk
nearly year, first calf. She was CIV
ing less than two quarts of milk at a
milking when she came to us and
had been sold because it did not pay
to milk her. She was very thin and
dirty, but very gentle and kindly dis
posed. We put her on good alfalfa
hay and what we thought to be the
proper feed, used the currycomb
freely, treated her kindly, milked her
regularly and properly. She Is now
giving two and one-half gallons of
milk per day, and from all indica-
tions she has not. yet reached the
limit. OF course, all dairy cows
would not respond in this way in so
short time, about one month, but
many of them would, and those which
would not are not profitable COWS to
keep. This heifer was probably cost
ing the party who had her as much
tc keep her as it is costing the editor
of the Modern Farmer, but she was
not being fed on the right kind of
feed, ear corn and Timothy hay, to
produce milk. Perhaps the. treat
ment and method of milking had,
also, something to do with it, but We
do not know anything about this.
We substituted alfalfa for the tim
othy, and ground corn for ear corn,
mixed with little bran, and pushed
her as fast as we thought safe, with
the result mentioned above. We will
leave our readers to draw their own
conclusions from our statement OF
facts.

Fertilizer For Corn.

It is the opinion of many farmers
that commercial fertilizer does not
pay when applied to the corn crop.
It is true that it does not when ap-
plied as many apply it. In order
that commercial fertilizer may be
made to yield profit on the corn
crop the soil should be we'll prepared
and we'll supplied with vegetable
humus. The commercial fertilizer
should be used to balance the plant
food in the soil. and since stable

HE'S THE WHOLE CREW.
Skipper Hall the Cook and the Mate
and the Bo's'n Bold Oh the Angler.

Captain Parker J. Hall, of Nan
tucket, skipper Of the two masted
schooner Angler, is his own mate,
steward and crew. His stated rea-
sons for It are not that he is moody
or fond Of his own company, or that
it is more economical, but simply
that. because of an impediment in his
speech, he feels that he can think
out and execute his own orders more
rapidly than any crew could under
stand him if he tried to talk.
CAPTAIN Hull is a native o. Dux-
bury, Mass, but his home is his
schooner, and on board her his young
wife goes about her Housekeeping
duties just the same as she would
were it an ivy grown cottage.
The Angler herself is no chicken,
says the Boston Herald. Sne was
built in 1854 and her owner found
her. an abandoned hulk, half buried
in the sand. He bought her for next
to nothing, fitted her With second
hand spars and began to make a liy-
ing and name for himself in the
coastwise trade.
His brother mariners find fault
with him for recklessness, on the
ground that his holding irons are not
big enough. Skipper Hall is forced
TO put up with anchors much lighter
than those of the average craft of the
Anglers build carries, because 1t
would be impossible foI any one man
to raise the heavy kind unaided.
He recently made a record run
across the Sound under full sail and
came up into anchorage in fine shape,
before the admiring gaze Of half the
town. To enter the harbor Skipper
Hall had to make a run through the
heavy ice between the jetties at the
bar. The drift of open water was
very narrow, and the revenue cutter
Gresham ran down to see if she could
be of any possible assistance.
The crew Of the Gresham are talk
ing yet of the surprise their captain
got when he saw one man bringing a
two n,asted schooner through the
narrow drift. ---..~--------.-~--------- ---~

After Charleston Blind Tigers.

Mayor Rhett of Charleston has
thrown a bomb into the ranks Of the
blind tigers and beer bottling plants
by issuing instructions to the police de,
partment to pay special attention to
the blind tigers which draw their sup
ply of liquor from wholesale houses
outside of the state The blind tigers
which draw their supply of liquors
from the dispensary will not be fined
as heavily as those which purchase
outside of the official and regular Ii
quor establishments, the idea being
to discourage contraband business and
swell the receipts of the local dispen-
saries.
Mayor Rhett thinks that once he
knocks the wholesalers out of business,
a long step will have been taken to-
wards the solution of the blind tiger
business in Charleston. The mayor has
also notified the beer bottling agencies
and a local brewery that the licenses
which were recently issued to them
does no: give them the right to sell
to consumers. They will be required
to sell probably through specially ap-
pointed dispenser, who will charge a.
royalty upon all the beer which is sold.
