Lenends of Goblin Hounds.

Conan Doyle's Hound of the Basker-
villes," "fearsome ANIMAL is said
to have its origin in the legends of
packs of spectral hounds which are
popular in various parts of England
and Wales. In the north of England
these apparitions are known as Ca
briefs hounds" in Devon, the "Wisk,"
vest" or Heath hounds" in Wales,
"Cron Annwn," or "Cwn Wybir," and
in Cornwall the Devils Dandy dogs"
They are supposed to be evil spirits
hunting the souls Of the dead. Gen
orally they are only heard and seem
to be passing swiftly along in the air,
as they usually choose cloudy nights
for the pursuit of their prey. Their
yelping is said to be terrific, resem-
bling the note of bloodhound All
of which tends to show that the origin
of these legends of goblin-hounds is
to be found in the terrifying noises
made by flocks of wild geese.

Suicides Of Aqed People.

The record Of age for suicides
seemed to be established recently in
Copenhagen, Denmark. A wealthy
lady of 81, living in Copenhagen, COM
mitted suicide as the result of an un-
successful love affair. She fell in love
with young man, and in fit of des-
pair, because her affections were not
returned, she sprang from the fourth
floor window one morning and was
killed. She was a widow and was the
mother of high government official.
This record did not stand long, how
ever. A few days later it was learned
that Josef Szazkas, aged 106, had
hanged himself at Szatonar, on the
Hungarian frontier, because he feared
that God had forgotten him, and that
be was condemned to remain on the
earth for all eternity.
