Peculiar spook That Has Struck Ter
 TOT to Farmer Folk.

The horseback riding ghost is the very latest variety that has appeared in Bowdoinham. and he is a particu- lar spirit. making yisitations only ar certain times.
 The hunters ghost, they call him. and the big man on the big white horse who comes galloping down the Lisbon road on the full O the moon right up to the side door of Sunny Crest farm strikes terror to the heart of the farmer folk as he raps smartly with his riding whip on the panels of the door. Whenever one appears in answer to the knock the ghost. so they tell the story. wheels round and disappears at a gallop. turning into the old woods road much used in reyo- lutIonary times by the soldiers of that stormy period.
 Ghost of the old Cap'n, they call him. connecting this horseback riding spook with a certain officer of un- sayory fame who once haunted the district of Maine. It is on the hunt CTS moon when. the ghost rides abroad. and nervous people on the Lisbon road are much disturbed by this galloping horseman.--Lewiston Journal

A FEW OF LlFg's pARADoxEs.
All True. Though at First They Seem
 to Read Rather odd.

Peace we secure by ornaments, liberty by laws and constitutions, simplicity and naturalness are the consummate result of artificial breed ing and training; health, strength and wealth are increased only by lavish use, expense and wear. Our mistrust of mistrust engenders our commer- cial system of credit: our tolerance of revolutionary utterances is the only way of lessening their danger; our charity has to say no to beggarz in order not to defeat its own de sires; the true epicurean has to ob- serve great sobriety; the way to cer- tainty lies through radical doubt; virtue signifies not innocence but ths knowledge of sin and it's overcom- ing. The ethical and religious life are full of contradictions held in SO lution. You hate your enemy?-well, forgive him. and thereby heap coals of fire on his head; to realize your self. renounce yourself; to save your soul. first lose It; in short, die to live.

,Anelent Uses of sLoodheunds.

Although the use of bloodhounds for tracking criminals still survives, another ancient use of these dogs seems to have died out Bloodhounds were at one time often called upon to assist an army in the field, the forces with which the earl of Essex suppressed the Irish rebellion in the time of Elizabeth, for instance, being accompanied by 800 dogs. In the Scot tish clan feuds and the wars between England and Scotland bloodhounds were regularly employed in tracking fugitive warriors. and both Wallace and Bruce were hunted in this man. ner. Wallace is said to have bafied his pursuers by killing follower and leaving the corpse for the hound to find, while Bruce adopted the less cruel plan of wadlng some distance down a stream and ascending a tree which overhung the water.
