ENGLISH GHOST STORY.
A Vision That Saved a Life on the
Yorkshire DaIes.

It is not often that we hear of a
ghost saving a mans life. There is,
however. an instance. and it seems to
be tolerably we'll authenticated, and
materialists will hardly know how to
account for it. Here is the story. 1t
is of the Yorkshire dales and of a good
many years ago. A clergyman whose
duty lay in that wild country, where
a strong race of men and women lived
principally on bacon and oatcake and
knew not save rarely butchers meat,
used to ride or walk to visit the people.
He had been raising a subscription in
a time of scarcity and had to be out
late at night. One evening on his out
ward journey he suddenly became
aware of a figure moving beside him,
and in the cleaning he recognized his
brother, who had died some time be-
fore. He was too awestruck for
words. and after keeping by his side
for some distance over the lonely moor
the figure disappeared. He noted the
time and the vision, but nothing oc-
CURED to throw any light upon it.
However, some years after he had
taken the duty at Jail in another part
of the country one of the prisoners ly-
ing under sentence desired to make a
confession. After telling him of a lot
of crimes he said: Il wor very near
once taking your life. sir. 1t was in
that bad year, and l heerd as how you
went carrying money about in those
lonesome dales. l hid behind the big
powders of the brown moor. l saw
you coming up and waited till you
should be near enough, but that night
you were not alone" This is a star
ting tale and the stronger because
the vision or whatever it was was seen
by two people. The anecdote occurs in
an article twenty years ago in Mac
millan's Magazine by Lady Nerney.

THOUGHT HIM A SPY.
An English officials Narrow Escape
In France In 1870.

The thrilling adventure which befell
Captain Haworth. one of Queen Vic
torias messengers. wildly illustrates
the perils of the diplomatic service
when a member of that corps is
trayersing n country where the storm
and stress OF war is raging.
1t was during the Franco German
war. and Captain Haworth was on his
way home charged with dispatches
from the English ambassador. then at
Tours. He got as far as the town OF
lie Mans. when something suggested
to the excited townsfolk the Idea that
he was a Prussian spy.
He was arrested, carried before the
JUICE de paix and required to give an
account of himself. He explained that
he was in the service of the British
government and produced his creden.
tails. He was then asked to show the
contents of the little bag which, as he
affirmed, contained his official dis
patches. This he absolutely refused
to do though he showed them the gov
eminent label and seal.
His refusal was thought suspicious,
and he was plainly told that unless he
could produce some more satisfactory
evidence he must be prepared to die.
The unlucky messenger was actually
led away for execution and was saved
only by some little glimmering of com
mon sense in the captain of the guard
he was committed to.
This officer demonstrated with his
prisoner on the folly of refusing to
satisfy the court by submitting his pa.
pers to their inspection. Captain Ha.
worth told him that their bullets should
go through that bag and his breast at
the same time and that then they
would have to reckon with the British
government The officer seemed to be
impressed and sent him back to the
authorities. After further parley the
Englishman was ordered TO clear out
of the town with all speed, an order
which he did his best to comply with.

Sense of Smell,

The olfactory nerves are wonderfully
sensitive. Much has yet to be investi-
gated with regard to the differentia,
ton of the points in these nerves so
that they may discriminate with such
apparently miraculous accuracy, yet
even the results in the scent of dogs
show how wonderfully fine is their
discriminating power. Our sense of
smell, unless in the trained chemist, is
not even SO acute as that of the semi.
savage. Much have we gained by civil
lizatiOn. but not without some loss to
our bodily energies and senses. Mans
recuperative power after an injury is
said frequently to be in inverse ratio
to his social advancement. Similarly
he seems TO become less acute and del.
icate in the sense of smell as he fares
better and lives more comforta bly-St

She Charged Wife Desertion,

THE CAUSE OF TROUBLE.
When VIM. R. Gleason Lost
His Job He Sent His Wife

hearing on charge Of wife desertion
TelenteG It the whispered sugges-
ton of an attorney the young woman
who is quite pretty, walked into an
ante-room. AS she passed hubby she
blushed deeply and turned her head
away. Despite the trouble that his
young wife had brought down upon
him, Gleason gazed at her longingly
and affectionately, then followed her
into the ante-roOm. Just what took
place in there is secret of course, but
it is matter of public record that
when the young couple emerged again
into the court room, both looked ex-
tremely happy.
Among the witnesses who had been
summoned to testify in the case, which
did not materialize, was Mrs. Bessie
JaybuSh, Gleason's first wife, from
whom he was divorced over a year
ago. She had been summoned to
the court room by the state, to tell
what she knew of the accused. The
reconciliation of Gleason and wife No.
.. made no impression on Mrs. Jay
bush. She appeared Indifferent to the
entire proceedings.
Gleason says he had no intention of
DESERVING his wife. The young man
is an electrician and last summer he
and his bride came here SO that he
could accept position. Gleason
states that he lost his job and being
unable to support his wife he sent her
to her parents in Connersville. Glea-
son says that he went to the home of
his father in Mt. Vernon, o. He in
tended to remain there until he Sc
cured employment. then he was going
to send for his wife. 1t appears that

derstand this arrangement, so she had

Biggest of All Animals.

The sulphur bottom-or blue whale, as
1t is better called by the Norwegians-
Is not only the largest living animal,
but the largest that has ever lived,
reaching a length of eighty feet or
very rarely little more. Whales grow
much larger than this in books and
newspapers, but in actual life not one
in a dozen even Of this species attains
a length of eighty feet. The popular
idea of whale is that it is a clumsy
animal, but, as shown by models, it
has the graceful lines of a yacht. The
total weight of whale is about sixty
tons. and unusually large and fat indi.
viduals must reach at least sixty-five
tons. The largest animal of the past
so far discovered is the great Dinosauf
brontosaurus, and this big reptile
weighed about thirty-eight tons.-Mu-

THE COAL SACK IN TIE SKY.
Vt Is Visible Because 1t Contains Moth.
ina That Is Visible.

Immediately below the lower stars
of the group which forms the Southern
Cross there is a black patch in the sky,
dark, sack shaped and mysterious.
Scientifically accurate astronomers ex-
plain that it is not patch, but rather
something which becomes visible by
reason of the anomaly that it contains
nothing that is visible.
The lay mind preferring bald reality

to learn that an object is seen because
there is nothing in it to see, but no one
can dispute the fact The coal sack is
visible because it contains nothing that
Is visible.
In other words, it is a vast hole in
the stellar system in which there is not
even a pinch of stellar dust to shed a
flicker of luminosity. 1t is typically
and absolutely the quintessence Of
blackness.
Because it Is SO, and in contradiction
Of all preconceived notions, the human
eye can see it without the aid Of Il
telescope or other instrument.
Between the stars of the Milky Way
there are many little holes in the stel-
lar system-little by comparison, that
Is to say-but one must have telescopes
and patience to find them. One need
only cross the line to the southern
hemisphere and locate the Southern
Cross in order to see the coal sack.
With the wealth of legendary tale
and fable woven around the northern
stars by the highly gifted races gaz-
ing on them through the ages that are
gone one is tempted TO speculate what
tales would not have been constructed
around that fathomless mystery had it
appeared north instead of south Of the
equator.
When it rouses the poetical impulse
within the brain of aboriginal Aus
tralians, what might it not have done
with the ancient Greeks or still more
ancient Egyptians? But they were de-

When a man dies he has to so up to
the roof and slowly journey over it
until he can Chamber down to the

he goes through TO get on to the roof
and to get up to ii is very long climb.
The journey over the roof is also
very long. and it is hard TO squeeze
through when he reaches the fat again.
So long does it take that by the time a
man has completed the journey not
only his hair, but his skin, has grown
white with age.
Wherefore the black fellow who has
made the journey rejoins his tribe as d

lost comrade.-Macmiilan's Magazine.
