GHOSTS PLAY MANY FRANKS.
Grab Rope from ReIringer and Cut
Down Trees.

Ghostly happenings have disturbed
the town of T<irkwall, the capital of
the county of Orkney. On Wednes-
day night, says the London Daily Mail,
the wife of the bellringer went to st.
Magnus cathedral to sound the curfew
at eight o'clock. This is an ancient
custom still observed in the burgh.
The bell had been tolled for less than
a minute, when, it is alleged, a figure
suddenly appeared at the woman's
side, snatched her hands from the
rope and as mysteriously disappeared
Another morning 20 trees which
a few years ago were planted in
front of the cathedral were found to
have been cut down. The night was
d calm one, with brilliant moonlight,
and the trees were standing at one
o'clock in the morning.
Hundreds of windows have an out
look On the spot, and many people who
were still astir at three o'clock in
the morning did not hear the slightest
sound outside. Yet an hour later
every tree had been destroyed. The.
police are bailed.

WHAT CAUSED THE FURRY
An English Financial Expert Tells
This Story.
An American Magnate Borrowed Hugs
Sum on Union Pacific and Failed
to Pay-Security SID.


London, England. = The financial
expert of the Daily Mail has written
story of the recent financial crisis,
which he says, is accepted in reliable
quarters.
One OF our big banks the writer
says. had lent huge sum to one
of the American magnates, the Sc
curity being mainly Union Pacifics.
The bank decided this loan should be
repaid. but on, meeting with refusal,
it resolved to liquidate the security
by selling the Union Pacific shares
in its possession An attempt to get
rid of them in large blocks on the
other side of the Atlantic by private
negotiations failed and consequently
a very large quantity was put upon the
market. Those knowing these cir
cumstances formed the natural conclu-
sion that trouble would ensue and
sold other securities. The resultant
fall in prices and the all-around col
lapse caused many difficulties among
stock exchange firms, including one
of the highest standing. In this case,
however, the account was taken over
by a big Anglo-American house with
the assistance of all that is most pow
erful in finance"

FURIOUS HUMoa ON CHILD.
Itching, Bleeding Sores Covered Body
Nothing Helped Her-Cuticura
Cures Fler in Five Days.

after my granddaughter of about
seven years had been cured of the
measles, she was attacked about a
fortnight later by a furious itching and
painful eruption all over her body,
especially the upper part of it, forming
watery and bleeding sores. especially
under the arms, of considerable size.
She suffered a great deal and for three
weeks we nursed her every night,
using all the remedies we could think
of. Nothing would help. We tried the
Cuticura Remedies and after twenty
four hours we noted considerable i'm
provement, and after using only one
complete set of the Cuticura Remedies,
in five consecutive days the little one,
much to our joy, had been entirely
cured. and has been well for long

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, 1t is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
fance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.

Best Violin Strings.

The best strings for violins are Of
italian make and are from the intes-
tines of spring lambs, killed in Sep
TENDER. The process of drying and
bleaching of the woods and strings by
the hot Italian sun, rather than by
the artificial method used in other
countries, accounts in great meas
ure for the superior quality of both
materials. This intense heat was also
the reason for the slow distillation
of the oils used by the Italian max
ers, which always remained at high
temperature, and the varnish, slowly
soaking into the woods of the violins
beneath the heat of those Italian sum-
mers, produced, in part, the mellow
ness of tone that gives to Cremona
instrument its value, after lapse of
200 or more years.-March Circle.

Home of the Iceberos.

Almost all the icebergs seen in the

products of the coast of Labrador
formed from the ice fields that had
filled the indentations of that coast

come from further north in the vicin-
ity of Baffin Land, those of August
come from still further north, and
though fewer in number than those
of the earlier summer, are larger in
individuality. From the coast of
