SAW THE GHOST.

A Story That Stood the Test Of a
Court Of Law.
AS a circumstaneial ghost story and
one that stood the cold scrutiny Of a
court OF law Booty's case is without a
parallel. The date given is 1858. when
Mrs. Booty brought an action for SIAN
der against one Captain Barnaby for
what he had said Of her late husband
According to an extract from jour-
nal produced in court. dated Friday,
May 15, 1857, the captain on that day
went ashore with large party OF
friends to shoot rabbits upon Strombo-
Ii. the island off Italy. which, from its
ever burning crater, is called the
lighthouse Of the Mediterranean" Al
about $3.50 in the afternoon two men
were seen running toward the volcano,
which was emitting flames. Captain
Barnaby then exclaimed, Lord bless
me, the foremost is old Booty. my
next door neighbor" They then van
ished in the flames, fact Of which
every one present took note.
Upon Captain Barnaby's return to
England he learned that "old Booty"
had died just about the time Of the
strange occurrence at Stromboli. He
then made the remark which was the
subject Of the action. that be had
seen old Booty running into the flames
of he'll pursued by the devil" Mrs.
Booty claimed $1,000 as damages. and
the case came on in the kings bench
before the chief justice, Sir Robert
Wright. For the defense, in addition
to the testimony Of Captain BarnaDy
and his friends. old Booty's clothes
were brought into court and identified
by several witnesses as being similar
to those worn by the foremost man
who ran into the crater-eVen to the
peculiar buttons on the coat The
Judge was so impressed by this eT1-
dence that he said: Lord have mercy
uson me and grant that l may never
see what you have seen. One, two or
three may be mistaken, but not thlr-
ty." And so Booty's widow lost the
day, and the case remains, perhaps as
the only judicially accepted ghosr
story ON record.-London Chronicle.

q Dear Dish,

Learning by experience in New
York is expensive business" said an
out of town man. "Last night a les
son cost me just $3.50 and was cheap
at that. You see, I had little dinner
for a few friends in private room at
one Of the best restaurants. Every
thing was just right, and I was mighty
we'll pleased One thing was especial
" pretty, and that was the dish Of spun
sugar in which the fruit was served.
It had all sorts Of little flowers and
bowknots sticking out from it, and
every one ofethe crowd broke of q
piece to nibbfe on. When went to
pay the bill one item surprised me.
Eight dollars and half for dish
was something I didn't understand.
What's it for?' l asked, pointing to
this item. And it was then and there
explained to me that dish Of spun
sugar was just as much the property
Of the establishment as one Of cut
glass or silver, and any damages must
be paid for. It was all right enough,
but it was new to me."-New York

BARRIERS and Surgeons.

John Le. Barbour was the first mas
ter Of the Honorable Company Of Bar
bers six centuries ago. At one time
the BARRIERS and the surgeons preyed
upon the public in loving brotherhood
and settled their family Quarrels un-
der the roof of one hall. By an agree
able arrangement the community was
to be ':bled" on a system which for
bade the surgeon to cut hair, shampoo
or shave and required the barber to
proceed no further in the art Of heal
inc than the extraction Of teeth and
scuppins.' But as the surgeons grew
in the social scale they sighed for re-
lief from their lowlier brethren and
built a hall and formed a guild Of their
own, magnanimously handing over the
Joint home in N1onkWell street to the
barbers..-London Standard.

HOME MISSIONS.
MANNING AUXILIARY

What has the work of the Woman's S
Home Mission Society cost its members?
To the average member it has cost 81. 20
"a year and once mouth an hours at
tendance upon the auxiliary meeting.
and perhaps prayer now and then. Our
records show that there are many who
do net even pay this small cost. There
are some who 60 far beyond what is re-
quired OF them and give probably as
much as three or five dollars. and some,
as officers. bestow more time and pray
er on the work. There are few who
may give as much as ten dollars and
are accounted Every liberal" and there
are some rare exceptions where that
amount is exceeded. There are others,
poor in this worlds goods, but rich n
faith. where prayers and labors count
for very much.
During the twenty-five years since or.
ganization these gifts have gradually
counted up to the large sum of $685.
1915 for correctional work. Yet how
infinitely small these fgurs seem when
reckoned beside the value received in
human lives and immortal souls. Diff
cult indeed would it be to gather from
our records the number of children and
youths enrolled in our schools through
these years. and still more difficult to
tabulate the far greater number of
lives, men, women and children, that
are influenced year by year in our city
missions and local work But a far more
difficult task-nay, an impossible one,
would it be to put value upon these
who have been given q knowledge Of
Christ and saved from ignorance and
sin. To 90 this we must take into ac-
count their influence upon the lives of
Others, not only adding that which is
good but subtracting that which might
have been bad.
TO this side of our balance must be
placed the great work advanced by our
parsonage funds boxes of supplies, and
much other work.
Sit down sisters, and make recken-
ing in the presence Of the Lord. Put
down what you have done and been in
the work on one side of the page, and
on the other fgures-if you can find
them-that will represent this multi
tude of Gods poor, ignorant and erring
ones whom He, living, died to save; and
then strike your balance and tell your
own heart, your God, and the world if
this work pays. Have you received full
value for what it has cost you? Then
think OF the greater gain it would be to
Christ and humanity ''if we had all
given more freely, according as God has
prospered US, and ask another question:
Lord, have you received full value from
me for all that have cost you?-Our
Homes.
