Some Predictions.

The author of the Vision Of Piers
Plowman," a work written In the reign
of Edward Ill, predicted with great
distinctness the fall Of the religious
houses in England. AS every one
knows. the event took place III the
reign of Henry WILL, about 200 years
later.
Sir Walter Raleigh foresaw and pre-
dicted the spread Of noneOnformity In
England. His weighty and memorable
words were: ''Time will even bring 1t
to pass, if it be not resisted. that God
will be turned out Of churches into
barns and from thence again into the
fields and mountains and under hedges.
All order of discipline and church gov:
eminent will be left to newness OF
opinion and mems fancies and as many
kinds of religion spring up as there are
parish churches in England"
In work written 500 years before
the event took place Tacitus foresaw
and predicted the evils and disorders
which were so long to desolate Europe
on the fall Of the Roman empire. HIS
words are worthy of repetition: when
the Romans shall be hunted out from
these countries which they have con
ouered. what will then happen? The
revolted people, freed from their mas
ter oppressor. will not be able to sub
sist without destroying their neighbors
and the most cruel wars will exist
among all these nations"

HAMPTON COURT.
Stories Of the Haunted English Royal
Palace.

Stories OF the Haunted English Royal
Palace.
Tales Of uncanny happenings cling to
old Hampton court, the English royal
palace on the Thames built by Cardinal
Wolsey. Not long ago policeman as
serted that he saw a ghostly funera
procession there The London Chronicle
remarks: 1.-THE most definite Of these
old stories concerns Mistress SibeH
Penn, who was Edward Wis nurse and
died at the palace In 1862. She was
buried In Hampton church, and a
monument was erected which was IT.
feverently destroyed when the old
church was pulled down In 1929. Soon
after this strange noises as Of woman
working a spinning wheel were heard
through the wall of one. of the rooms
In the southwest wing u the palace.
When search was made by the Office Of
works an ancient chamber was dis
covered In which an antique spinning
wheel was found, the old oak planks
being worn away where the treadle
struck the floor After this Mrs. Penn's
ghost is said to have appeared to many
occupants of the palace; but, according
to Law, the historian Of Hampton
court she has not been seen since 1885,
when her tall, gaunt form, dressed In
q long gray robe, nearly frightened
young soldier to death.
Another we'll accredited story relates
how a certain lady of title who lived on
the west side of the Fountain court in
1870 was frequently conscious of the
presence in her room Of two Invisible
| beings. and she was greatly disturbed
by the mysterious sounds that emanat-
| ed from various quarters Of her apart
| ments. She addressed a formal COM
plant to the lord chamberlain. This
gentleman referred her TO the office OF
works. which, however. declined to In
terfere on the ground that there were
no funds at their disposal for any such
purpose and that the jurisdiction Of the
first commissioner did not extend to
the spirit world.
"At last, however on Nov. z, 1871,
some workmen, while excavatlng In the
cloister Of the Fountain court, came up
on two perfect skeletons Of full grown
men opposite to Lady IS door. They
were given Christian burial In Hamp'
ton church, and the mysterious noises
Immediately ceased. Now the only
ghost that Is seen In the palace is that
of Jane Seymour, queen Of Henry VIII,
which. some residents say, still occa
sionally wanders. with lighted taper
