LEGAL STATUS OF spooKs.

However skeptlcs may sneer,
ghosts have some standing in the
eyes OF the law At Lawrence, Kan
sas, a colored woman, clairvoyant,
sued a colored man, a landlord, to
recover 800 for professional ser
vices in removing ghosts from two
OF his houses. He refuses payment on
the ground that the spooks still
haunt his dwellings, terrifying his
tenants so they cannot sleep at night.
A we'll conducted spook OF the tradi-
tional type should add to the rental

willing to pay additional for the
privilege OF sleeping in haunted

into the room every night as the hall
clock strikes the hour of IL, and
sinks through the floor to the ac-
compartment of clanking chains,

The Ten Dollar ELL

Once upon time ithere was a Ten

earned with a hard weeks dressmak-

FIXING THE BLAME.

The fact is, Americans are respon-
sible in large measure for the annoy
ingly expensive proportion attained
by the tipping custom abroad. Until
the American invasion of Europe,
servants expected no more than the
tips established by custom. When
Americans travel abroad they like to
spend money; they travel first
class" when second class is often
equally comfortable, and they pay
higher prices than do natives for the
same accommodations at hotels. In
their desire to be known as spend,
, ers," they receive the enthusiastic
cooperation of landlords and shop
keepers. So in tips. For trifiing
service worth cents, the American
hands out a quarter with easy grace.
He, perhaps, can afford It, but the
next American who falls into the
hands OF that waiter or cabman may
have a slender purse. Unless he tips
with equal munihcence, he is liable
TO embarrassment and even insult.
The "esult is. Americans have raised
the size OF the average tip through
out Europe about 500 per cent

LOSSES FROM INSECTS.

City residents do not realize the
enormous loss that is occasioned by
insects that prey on vegetation, nor
how the work and cost of farming
are increased by the severity OF the
battle that must be waged against
them, says Brooklyn Eagle. 1t Is
one of the setbacks to interest In
agriculture that the farmer must
rise early and stay late in his ields,
doing work that the birds used TO
do, before he shot them; that, name
ly, of destroying the grubs and bee
ties that are riddling his vines, his
trees, his shrubs and attacking his
root crops.
Our main reliance should be In
our birds, and SO soon as the public
can be made to understand that the
killing OF birds means an increase OF
hundreds of millions of dollars
every year in the cost OF operating
farms and gardens, and in the price
OF farm products that come to us in
town, we may look for the beginnings
of that reform which the milliner
has succeeded in so long delaying.

rwo MARRIAGE CusToMs.

The New York East Side fashion
OF arranging marriages through
shatchens or brokers, differ from
ours. Miss Spielberger, who came to
this country three years ago, found
work and contrived to save $4OO.
Deeming that she was now rich
enough to have husband, she went
TO shatchen and asked him TO
choose one. When the American girl
decides to be countess she sends
her parents out to look for count.
No shatchen here. The count being
discovered, and in condition that
warrants the belief that you could
lend money to him, he is carried to
New York, where he is washed
dressed and introduced.
A tremendous wedding with bish-
ops, roses, champagne and brass
bands and the count takes his bride
to his ancestral castle, where he sell
dom lives. He does not have to exr
hibit checks and bank books. 1t is
pepper who does that. He takes the
count to his piggeries or his pickle
works and after the wedding spends
his evenings writing checks payable
to the count.-Brooklyn Eagle.

ONE woMANs LITTLE JOKE.
How II Led to a Suit at Law and
Serious CompIieatIons.

Mrs. Margaret Gatty, one of Brat
tleboro's wittiest society women,
planned and executed Joke; now
she Is the defendant in an action at
law, while the society of that Yer
mont city is awaiting with glee the
outcome of the affair.
II all emanated from "bright
idea" conceived by Mrs. Gatty and a
few OF her society friends who had
become firmly convinced that James
". Hooker, attorney and wealthy
clubman, was working altogether too
hard and needed a little diversion TO
distract him from the arduousness of
SO busy a summer.
One day recently, while the young
attorney sat at his desk with papers
piled high on each side and an
amount Of work before him that
promised to keep him in his office
into the wee small hours Of the night
the telephone at his elbow rang.
Taking up the receiver MIR. Hooker
listened to the apparently distracted
voice of Mrs. sGatty, one of his ac-
| quaintances. Mrs. Gatty appeared
to be greatly overwrought, and ex-
planned that dreadful attempt had
| just been made to swindle her out of
4 sum of money, that the alleged
swindler had left handbag behind,
| and would Mr. Hooker COME up i'm
mediately and open the bag and dis
| 10 ,g a,
guilty person.
The young lawyer hastily clapped
on his hat and FASTENED up to Mrs
| Gatty's fashionable residence.
| He was ushered into the drawing
room, and the bag was shown him.
! Without further parley the lawyer
opened the bag and extracted a nice
| yellow lemon. Then the light broke
upon the attorney and amid the tit
terings which emannted from differ
ent recesses of the drawing room,
he bowed and withdrew, after declar-
ing gravely that he felt that the case
was settled and trusted that this
client would be no longer disturbed.
A little later Mrs Gatty received a
bill for services made out in the
usual form. Under the conviction
that this bill was merely the humor-
Gus revenge by Mr.. Hooker FOR the
joke played upon him the bill was
plgeonholed.
Much to her CONSERVATION a sheriff
appeared recently at Mrs. Gatty's
home and served the papers in a suit
for fees due to Mr.. Hooker for SER
vices.
The whole city is interested in

and factions have already been form.

pRoGREss IN ELECTRICITY.

Twenty years ago the use of cleo
tricity for power and light was In Its
infancy, says the Pittsburg Dispatch.
What a growth there has been In It's
use and application since then. The
history of the progress of the cleo
trieal industry reads like fairy
story, and really outclasses the mys-
tic wonders of Aladdin's famous
lamp of fable. According to a re-
cent bulletin of the census bureau,
at the close of the fiscal year of
1902, there were $500 electric light
and power stations in the United
States, representing expenditures for
construction and equipment amount-
ing to S504,740,352
