A ghost. vague white form which fitted about small neglected grave yard in Galway, much to the alarm of those who lived near by, one of the gentlemen of our party undertook to lay. Going out not far from midnight, he did indeed soon become aware of a white figure looming toward him through the darkness. Our friend, however, held on his way undeterred.

Slayer and Sleiqher.

Sn the first number of the Atlantic Monthly Ralph Waldo Emerson had a poem called "Brahma," which puzzled both critics and common readers. Some said 1t was the grea test poem of the century. Some said it was non sense. The first verse ran as follows: If the red slayer think he slays
 Or If the slain think he is slain
 They know not well the subtle ways
 l keep and pass and turn again.
 That winter 1t happened that a rela- tive of the poet LongfelIow, living in another state. bought sleigh, and in @ family letter to the cousins in Cam. bridge there was q wall lest the Janu, ary thaw which had followed the bur chase should keep them from enjoying the gay cutter that season. When the letter was answered, Longfellow con tributed this verse, which, it Is said has never been printed before: TO - ON THE PURCHASE OF A

This con- sists principally of receptacle for burning charcoal. A mangal may be nothing else than such simple brass or iron receptacle or may be quite an artistic and expensive article of most rare and valuable workmanship. The charcoal Is first thoroughly burned through. and when it no longer emits any flame or odor the mangal is brought into the room for purposes of heating. Sometimes 1t happens that proper attention is not paid to the burning charcoal. with not infrequent fatal results.

Force Exsrted by tho Heart.

Force Exsrtsd by tho Heart.
 The force exerted by the heart equals 12O tons lifted one foot. In other words. the work of the heart Is equiv alent to raising It's own weight 10000 feet in one hour. A strong man can raise himself but 1000 feet in an hour. This enormous force, If exerted by the heart through fixed rigid pipe. would shoot the blood along with each jerk at rate of POO feet second. How ever, the arteries. being elastic, are distended by the jerk or beat of the heart, and when the heart pauses after the beat the contraction of the arteries sends the blood along in steady non. intermittent flow, which averages about one foot second.
