THIS GHOST WAS HUNGRY.
Happening That Has ParaIyzed Super
stitious Cinnamon.

This Is the tale Of a ghost that eats.
and it has thrown the towns of the
Siangfu district of China into a COM
motion. The facts are related in the
North China Herald On March 81
the 3O-year-old son of Tzi Lung.
school teacher, was thought to have
died of typhus fever. His family be-
ing very poor. the body was placed
In frail wood coffin and buried only
Few inches under the soil outside
the western gate of Siangyang. On
April man put his horse to Craze
on the spot. The beast found good
grass near the grave and brought its
loot down upon the soil above the
coffin, the lid of which was broken.
In little while the owner of the
horse saw a gaunt white arm thrust
up through the hole made by the
horses hoof.
thinking the dead mans ghost was
about to rise to avenge the insult Of
fered in the breaking of the coffin. the
watcher hurried up and began SHOW
cling earth into the hole to keep the
ghost down. A mufied voice expos
tulated and begged to be freed, claim
ing to be the living son of Tzi Lung.
The watcher fed in terror to the
town, where he told every one he met
OF what had happened. The ghosts
father urged that the ghost should be
let alone and not further disturbed.
A large crowd, however. went out
OF the city TO view the wonder. The
ghost kept begging most piteously to
be let out One man had courage
enough to unearth the cover of the
coffin completely and open it. allowing
the "resurrected" man to sit up. Rice
soup and wine were brought and raw
enously devoured by the ghost, still
sitting upright in his coffin imbedded
in the earth.
Finally the unhappy spirit was re-
leased and confined in a temple until
he could prove himself to be a liv-
ing man.

WOMAN AND HER WORRIES.
Fair Sex Criticized by q Writer In
English Magazine.

II may fairly be said that women
have only themselves to blame for a
very considerable proportion of do
nestle worry. with its consequences
OF irritability and bad temper. leading
To worse things, says a writer in Cas-

Is specially subject, at any rate, at

sponsible for great deal of woman's

cause it would appear that the wife.
rather than the husband. is more often
responsible for the neglect of that
margin OF income which, as Mr.
Micawber knew. spells happiness.
Hence It is worth while yet again to
point out the commonplace facts

A Spider Factory.

In the forests of New Guinea there
are factories whose workmen are
spiders, These hideous spiders, with
bodies as big as saucers, make fish
nets for the cannibal natives. The
natives set Up in the forest long poles,
with wooden rings at the upper end
net frames. The spiders. seeing these
eontrivances, run to them joyfulIy.
Here. they think, is fine net ready
started, The outermost circle is al
ready made. And they weave their
coarse, strong webs within the wood
en-rings. and. when the nets are quite
finished, the natives come. drive away
the insect workmen, and, taking up
their spider-made nets, set OF gravely
on fishing excursion.

ehamoIs for New Zealand.

An Austrian warship visited New
Zealand last year. Its officers were
handsomely entertained and present
ed with q variety of local products
and curios. In recognition of this
hospitality the Emperor Francis JOS
eph has made gift OF eight channels
to the colony. The transportation of
the animals to the other side OF the
globe was a risky undertaking, but it
has been successfully accomplished.
The passage between the tropics was
the crucial stage Of the voyage, but
the channels were carefully shielded
from the heat and emerged without
any loss save temporary one of ap-
petite. New Zealand has snow-clad
Alpine heights, where they will soon
feel perfectly at home.

LONELINESS OF GREAT CITY.
No Interested Friends 20 Enter Into
Joys and Sorrows.

III you live In n large city you are
lost You are swallowed up by the
ocean Of people around you. You
go down into the deep and that's the
last of you. except perhaps an ocoa-
sional bubble that may come to the
surface near where you were last
seen, says the Fremont (O) Post.
There are so many people who can't
escape drowning. You can't make
friendships as you do in a smaller
place, where the individual isn't en-
drely efaced by the mass. Society
is not what it is in the smaller place,
where the human element enters in
altogether. In the larger place your
comings and goings are not noted by
your friends even, and never by the
newspapers, unless you are one OF the
high inanciers or packing-house
bunch. The births and weddings in
your family are of no more interest
outside your own fiat than are the
wreaths of smoke curling up into the
empyrean; no merry crowd of in
terested neighbors with their warm
congratulations. The deaths bring lit
tie sympathy from the rumbling, rat
ting world outside; no Borrowing &C
quaintances who have stood by you
through the long sickness; there is
little or none of that evidence OF low
Ing kindness that comes from neigh
oors and real friends in a small city
or town, where the dollar mark is not
written so large and SO indelibly on
everything. 1t Is paradoxical law that
where there are SO many people there
are fewer friends. and when you di-;
minish the number to a frontier COM
munity where neighbors are miles
apart your friends are ready to take
their lives in their hands for you.

cItron Tree and the Bible.

Was the citron tree the tree Of
knowledge of good and evil In the
garden Of Eden? Some persons think
1t was. In any event. it appears that
"citron" would often be the right
rendering in passages where the au-
thoriEed version of the Bible gives
apple" For instance. in the Prov
cribs, "A word ntiy spoken is like ap-
pies Of gold in pictures of silver"
And In the Song of Solomon, AS the
apple tree among the trees OF the
wood, so is my beloved among the
sons" And again, Stay me with
fagons, comfort me with apples, for
l am sick of love"

A sunny DISPOSITION.

A very charming old lady says that
il she had the power to choose the
best from all the good things in life.
she would not ask for wealth, because
OF its responsibilities; she would not
ask for beauty, because of its strain
upon character; she would not ask for
health, glorious as the treasure is, nor
for genius; but she would pray for
sunny disposition. as the boon which
confers more happiness upon its own
er, and more happiness upon those
with whom one comes in contact, than
any other which falls to the lot of any
human creature. "-Success.
