Illegal to Shoot Them in Engiand-.
 Other Court Rulings.

Lawsuits about alleged ghosts, of nature similar to the one which was threshed out the other day before MT. Justice Grantham, are far from uncommon.
 Indeed, there is quite little library of books relating to the subject, all of them full of musty, fusty precedents, and each and every one of them bound in that peculiar, underdone pie-crust colored material known to booksellers as law calf
 From these books one may learn many things about ghosts, and the proper way to treat them.
 It is, for instance, illegal to belabor ghost after it has cried out that 1t is not a ghost; while a man who goes gun-hunting after an alleged ghost, and shoots and kills a human being who is masquerading in spook attire, is guilty of murder.
 You may not summarily give up possession of a house of which you are tenant, simply because you be- lieve it to be haunted. nor yet even if 1t be currently alleged and reputed to be haunted.
 But, on the other hand. damages have been recovered against a land lord who let a notoriously spook-in- fested dwelling to a tenant without first informing him of it's evil reputa- tion.
 A father has, too, obtained a verdict against a schoolmaster whose school was haunted by ghost which fright ened his boy into fits. and it has been held to be illegal to shut up prisoner in reputedly haunted jail.
 Once woman sought judicial sep aration from her spouse on the ground that he was in league with familiar spirit, which haunted his bedroom by night and his study by day.
 But her petition was refused, the judge remarking that she had taken her husband for worse as well as for better, and that she might as well ask to be relieved of him because he had developed a wart on his nose as a sprite at his elbow. - Pearson's Weekly.

CHAPTER XIV,
 Mutinv.

It was all could do not to show my astonishment and sudden fury. I don't understand" said ], in a tone which I somehow managed to keep down to tranquil inquiry
 But did understand. It instantly came to me that the three had been ; brought into lire for Cromwell by i their powerful! business associates in Wall street. probably by the great bankers who loaned thenA money. Swift upon the surge of anger had suppressed before it. famed at the sur face came surge of triumph-which l also suppressed. had often wish ed, perhaps as matter of personal pride, just this opportunity; and here it was!
 Cromwell must be nominated" said Granby, in his insolent tone. He had but two tones-the insolent and the cringing. Hes safe and sound. Burbank isn't trusted in the east. And we didn't like his conduct last year. He caters to the demagogues. Roebuck, through his liking for me, l imagine, rather than through re- fined instinct, now began to speak, thinly disgusting his orders as re- quests. l waited until he had talked himself out. I waited with the same air of calm attention until Partridge had given me his jerky variation. I waited, still apparently calm, until the silence must have been extremely un- comfortable for them I waited un- til Granby said sharply: Then it is settled?" ...-
 Yes, said I, keeping all emotion out of my face. and voice. Tt is set. tied. Ex-Gov. Burbank is to be nom. mated. I am at loss to account for this outbreak. However, I shall at once take measures to prevent its oc- curing again. Good day"
 And was gone-straight to the train. did not pause at Fredonia but went on to the capital. The next morning had the legislature and the attorney general at work demolishing Granby's business in my state-for I had selected him to make an example of. incidentally because he had insult ed me, but chiefly because he was the most notorious of my ten, was about the greediest and cruelest "robber baron" in the west. My legislature was to revoke his charter; my attor.

USE FOR OLD HANokERcHIEFs.
Correspondent Says They Make Effeo
 tive Trimmings.

find using handkerchiefs for trims mings costs no more than lace or em- broidery, says correspondent. Two turndown collars can be made from a handkerchief also two baby bon- nets, trimmed with one handkerchief. Homemade bonnets launder much bet- ter than the readymade ones. Any leftover piece of fine white goods will make the body. I make one bon- net with a straight rever, cut straight through the center of handkerchief. the opposite side being left for sec ond bonnet. Collar. cuff bands. and bertha made from handkerchiefs will look dainty on little dress made from white lawn. linen, or batiste.
 I made several bibs as gifts. First I made a plain bib of huckaback. Over this was handkerchief, placed so one point came in front, one in back, and one over each shoulder. | cut hole in the center to fit the neck Then I cut a slit from the neck down, the center of the back point, binding the two bibs together around the neck with a tape.
 Pretty sofa pillows and dresser COW ers-can be made and they will look nice after being washed. All old linen handkerchiefs I wash, iron. and put away, as they come in handy for many things. especially for bandagins . burnt or cut finger.

I cannot answer your inquiry regards ing curdled milk.
 S. L. A.-Please explain what the bishops Bible was that the King James translators were directed to follow? @ Will you give brief sketch of the life of Benjamin Wilson, author of the Emphatic Diaglott2 (3) What is meant by the word let ters,'' used in connection. with patents, as for instance, MT Jones has been granted letters patent?"
 A. The bishops Bible was printed in 156S. and derived its name from the fact that 1t was prepared by sev- eral bishops. I am not aware that this Bible was consulted by King James commissioners. @ I am un- able to find material. (3) The refer ence is to the document which is the evidence of the patent.
 -n-
 S. B.-Please print recipes for can> ming peas, beans and tomatoes?
 A. Fill the can full of peas, shak- ing so they/ will settle closely; pour into the cans enough cold water to fill to overflowing, then screw the cover tight as you can with your thumb and first finger. Place cloth in the bottom of wash boiler; on this place layer of cans, other layers of cloth and cans as you like. Then cover the cans with cold water, place the boiler on the fire and boil three hours without ceasing. After the water is again cool, take the cans from the boiler and tighten the covers, anu when cold tighten them again. Wrap each can in brown paper to exclude the light and keep in cool dry cell lar. String beans are cut as for cook ing and canned in the same manner. No seasoning. as salt, pepper or sugar should be added Canning tomatoes is simple process. Very ripe ones are best for the purpose. Put them in a large pan and cover with boiling water. This loosens the skin, which is easily removed, and then put them in preserving kettle, set over moderate fire without the addition of water or any seasoning, and bring to boil. After boiling slowly half an hour put them into the jars while boiling hot and seal tightly. The jars should be filled to the brim to pre- vent air from getting in and set iu cool. dark closet.

anger that I dared not speak until I could control and aim the explosion. Partridge saw how, and how serious. ly. Roebuck had blundered. He thrust him aside and faced me. What's the use of beating around the bush?" he said bluntly. We've made damn fools of ourselves, senator. We thought we had the whip. We see we haven't. We're mighty sorry we didn't do little thinking before Roe. buck sent that telegram. We hope you'll let us of as easy as you can. and we promise not to meddle in your business again-and you can bet your life we'll keep our promise"
 T think you will" said I.
 "I am man of my word," said he. And so is Roebuck"
 "Oh, don't mean thaE" was my an swer. T mean, when the Granby ob. ject-lesson in the stupidity of prema- ture ingratitnde is complete. you shan't be able to forget it."
 They drifted gloomily in the current of their unpleasant thoughts: then each took turn at wringing my hand. invited them up to my sitting-room where we smoked and talked amica. bly, for a couple of hours. It would have amused the thousands of em- ployes and dependents over whom these two lorded it arrogantly to have heard with what care Shey weighed their timid words, how nervous they were lest they should give me fresh provocation. As they were leaving, Roebuck said earnestly: 'Isn'. there anything I can do for you, Harvey?"
 Why, yes," said I. Give out statement next Sunday in Chicago for tho Monday morning papers-in. dorsing Cromwell's candidacy. Say you and all your associates are en. thusiastic for it because his election would give the large enterprises that have been the object of demagogic at- tack sense of security for at least four years more."
 He thought was joking him, being unable to believe me so lacking in judgment as to fail to realize what profound impression in Cromwell's fa- vor such statement from the great Roebuck would produce. l wrote and mailed him an interview with himself the following day; he gave it out as l had requested. It got me Burbank delegations in Illinois, South Dakota and Oregon the same week.

New velIlnus.

One of the attractive new veilingA is punctured chiffon. which comes in all the fashionable shades. Hair lines are in favor, but should be worn only by women who have clear complex- ions. Medium sized chenille dots and large velvet dots far apart are fash ionable. The new champagne colored veil with brown dots is the smartese thing of the season. and 1t harmonixes so we'll with the popular brown and yellow shades which are used SO much for suits. Chantilly lace wells lead in popularity for sailor hats. The new square chiffon wells with striped bor. ders are in vogue for the automobile, They are more attractive than the ob. long veil, for they are less bungle. some and cooler. Squares ranging iu size from IS inches to yard and ia any color desired are shown in one shop.

 My three mutineers pursued me to the capital. missed me, were standing breathless at the door of my house near Fredonia on the morning of the third day. I refused to be seen until the afternoon of the fourth day, and then I forbade Granby. But when I descended to the reception-room he rushed at me, tried to take my hand, pouring out a stream of sickening apologies. I rang the bell. When servan. appeared, said: Show this man the door"
 Granby turned white and, after c long look at my face. said in a broken voice to Roebuck: For Gods sake. don't go back on me, Mir. Roebuck- Do what you can for me"
 As the curtain dropped behind him. I looked expectantly at Roebuck. sweating with fright for his imperiled millions. Probably his mental state can be fully appreciated only by a man who has also felt the dread of losing his wealth upon which. he is wholly dependent for courage. respect and selfrespect.
 Don't misunderstood me. Harvey" he began to plead. forgetting that there was anybody else to save be- sides himself T didn't mean"

The minor officers of the Danish
navy will be encouraged to attend high
schools during the coming school year,
10000 crowns having been set aside
to defray a part of their expenses
while pursuing their studies. The
leading cities of the kingdom cordially
welcome the officers to avail them,
selves of the use Of their high schools.
The idea back of this new departure
is to raise the social standard pre-
vailing in the Danish navy, so as to
make it more attractive to ambitious
young men.
King Edward and Queen Alexandra
of England will visit the Danish
coast during the month Of August.
There are signs of impending trouble
between the socialists and temperance
associations Of Denmark. The So

tnusiastic over the temperance propa-
ganda and as many of their members
also affiliate with the temperance as.
sociations, a conflict is inevitable.

COMPOUND Words.

There is a growing tendency to dis
card the use of compound words-that
is, words connected by hyphen-but
the tendency is not to be commended
in the interest of direct expression.
There is a principle involved that the
boy and girl should understand. Take,
for example, the word "walking-stick."
Written in the form here given-with
the hyphen-the word is passive; that
Is to say, it is stick with which or
by the aid of which one walks, but Ii
written as two words, walking stick"
the expression signifies a stick that
walks. This difference in meaning is
not an arbitrary one, but is strictly in
accordance with the rules of our
language. The hyphenated word
therefore, is always to be preferred in
cases of this kind. The subject is
worth study, and those who are inter
ested would find of great value book
called "English Compound Words and
Phrases" by Teall.-Chicago News.
