milton. That child is best equipped

who has trained hands as well as in

vided in any community, for all
pupils, is profitable and wise only in
the direct proportion that it trains
for industry and not otherwise. What
is furnished. from the contributions
of all for the benefit of all, should be
applied to what all can use, and with

MAINE GHOST ON HORSEBACK
Peculiar spook That Has Struck Ter
ror 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 visitations only at
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 revo'
lutionary times by the soldiers Of that

him, connecting this horseback riding
spook with q certain officer Of uE-

Peace we secure by ornaments,

wealth are increased only by lavish
use, expense and wear. Our mistrust
Of mistrust engenders our CONNER

Of revolutionary gutterances is the
only way Of lessening their danger;
our charity has to say no to beggars

serve great sobriety; the way to GER
tainty lies through radical doubt;
virtue signifies not innocence but the
knowledge Of sin and its overcom.

are full Of contradictions held in so

forgive him. and thereby heap Goals
OF fire on his head; to realize your
self, renounce yourself; to save your
soul, first lose it; In short, die to live.

SOME SMALL ENGLISH PARISHES.
Dozet, Inhabitants In One; In Another
Only TWO Houses.

Probably few people know that this
country contains number OF par.
ishes so small that their population
can be housed under one or two roofs.
For instance, Upper Fldon, near
Stockbridge, consists Of two houses.
which with an eleventh century church
and tiny Gods Acre" In the middle
OF a farmyard adjoining one Of the
dwellings, comprise the whole parish.
Not much larger Is the population Of
Lullington, five miles from Eastbourne.
Small as its church is-the interior
dimensions are only 16 feet square
1t is quite large enough for the inhab-
itants.
In Grove near Lighton Buzzard.
there are only about 9 dozen in:,antt
tants, the parish containing q modern
farmhouse, two cottages and tiny
church. At Rhyd, In Flintshire, while
there are only three adult Inhabitants.
+ the village contains five cottages and
one ship. Until recently there were
two licensed houses, one OF which still
remains. Tit Bits.

rR5n sEhr THAT @oRows" IRON
Peculiar Property o. Castings Put ts
II Practical Use.

Why should an iron CRATE bar BE-
tome warped, twisted and cracked
nter long use?
The reason appears to have been
discovered by Alexander e. Outer
bridge. Jr.. Of Philadelphia, who tells
81 that cast iron when heated and
sooled swells so that bar Of It
Secomes not only longer but thicker,
md that this increase in size may con-
nnue with subsequent heatings and
soolings until the volume OF the bar
40 per cent. larger than It was
originally.
Microscopic examination shows that
the texture of the swelled bar has be-
tome coarser grained. This discov.
sry, which was made about three
Tears ago, is now put to practical use
In various ways.
For instance, gas engine piston
that had worn small was caused to
.grow" by this method until It again
fitted its cylinder.
Again, several tons Of steam radia
tors that had been, condemned as too
short were successfully treated until
they could be used as at first
Intended.
