Miller, discussing this colony recently,
said:

and .squabble. That will be delight
full. Arguments and squabbles over
Matthew Arnold, Swinburne, Tenny-

sible things, you know They are
not like political or religious argu-
ments, which in their bitter rancor al
ways make me think of three Maine
divineS.
while three Maine divines were
supping together, two Of them be-
gan to argue about the comparative
religious merit of the royal houses
of Stuart and Orange The argument
became heated. The divines grew ex-
cited and angry.
William III. was a great rascal,
roared the first, as he struck the table
with his fist "A great rascal, and
spit upon his memory
The second divine turning very
red, shouted:
"'No, it's James II. that was the

When you ask for ghost signature you prepare
the page for the writing by folding it and the
person whose ghost you are after writes directly
on the line of the fold. A stub pen which holds
a large amount of ink is best for this purpose,
as the size and mystery of the ghost depend
largely upon the ink. After the name is written
the page is folded together again without blot
ting and 10, the ghost appears. Try it and see,
1t is not necessary to have a book. One can
have the signatures written on separate sheets
of paper and collect them, but care must be
taken to use soft paper that will absorb the ink
readily, These separate sheets can then be
