a Haunted Castle.

The prince royal of Denmark had a
curious experience some thirteen
years ago while he and his father
and mother-the present king and
queen-were staying at a castle. which
had a reputation for "hauntings."
One evening, after dinner, he went
out to another room to find some
thing which he wanted. There was
10 electric light, and so he took an
ordinary candle. In a short time he
came back pale and trembling, say
ing that the room was full of armed
men, who had barred hts entry and
put out his light.
Much disturbed the present King
Of Denmark reused the household,
told them to arm themselves, and
bring lights. Then he led them to
the suspected room, and, finging the
door suddenly open, called on those
within to surrender.
There was nothing within but dark
ness and silence. Moreover, there
seemed no possible way by which

sisted in his story. ...s
Different color was impaired to 1t
by an experience which occurred to
his mother-now queen of Denmark
shortly after. She was sitting writ

id a blaze of candies when suddenly
she became aware of figure all in
white in an antique style standing in
the room near the door
The door was not open, and She
had not heard it open or shut. The
figure gazed at her flxcdly, but did not
speak: and at first she was too spell
bound to speak, but eventually she
called out to know who or what the
intruder was.
Receiving no answer to her inquiry,
she sprang up to ring the ben and
then she saw the figure turn and walk
deliberately and slowly through the
closed door--M. A. p

MIGHT WAS RIGHT.
Interesting Struggle For Leg Of
Mutton.

While a farmer was cutting hop
poles in one of the northern countries
Of Pennsylvania he saw a half-grown
bear cross Clear Greek with the leg
of sheep in its mouth. He was on
thepoint of dashing down the slope TO
kill the young sheep thief with his
axe, when much larger bear waddled
across the stream in the wake OF the
cub. In moment the big bear over
took the little one, pitched into It,
snatched away the leg of mutton and
began TO tear the meat from the bone.
The small bear picked itself up, glar-
ed at the big bear, and whimpered and
whined, as though the loss OF the NUT
ton had almost broken its heart.
While it was giving vent to its feel
Ing, still larger bear came crashing
through the brush II dashed past the
crying youngster, pounced upon the
second bear and surprised it so sud
denly that Ii released it's hold on the
mutton. The second bear then gave
battle TO the third. and whiie the
scrimmage was going on, the little
bear recaptured the leg and made of
with 1t, The third bear soon whipped
the second one, which ran away ov-
ertook the little bear and forced il to
drop the mutton The little bear had
another crying spell and while it was
whining, the third bear took the leg
away from the second once more. 1t
lugged the leg in its mouth to the little
bear, and the latter took the leg in
its teeth, shutfied off few yards. and
into a beech tree, The see
ond bear promptly ran past the third
one, and started to climb the tree. 4
II was not quick enough. for the third
bear pulled II down gave IL a good
cutting and made it clear out. AS
soon as the little bear saw that the
second one wasn't likely to NEEDLE
with the leg Of mutton any more, it
backed down the tree and shared the
meat with the third bear. The farmer
who had witnessed these proceedings |
was so amazed that he did not at |
empt to modest the actors at all.

\ chance is coming over the orthodox
view of prayer under the influence of scicn-
tifc thought. The mood of PRAYER in all
churches becomes less that of petition and
more than of gratitude and submission.
Prayer becomes more and more subjective
really addressed to mans own higher nature.
and less directed to the Deity, who is for
mally addressed. With an increasing NUM-
