SCOTTISH GHOSTS.
Phantoms That Are Said Still to Haunt
Country Houses.

Tie faith in ghosts still haunts
the minds Of many practical Scots
men. and the Instances Of the live
supernatural upon which it is led
are infinitely preferable to the ira
tional credulities of our crystal
razcrs and other romancers of the
world Of "spooks." At the seat of
the Airlies there is the ghostly
drummer, whose rub-a-dub is the
invariable presage of death in the
family. At Newton castle still
walks Of night the screen Lady,
so called from her green silk dress,
and in Berwickshire the residence of
Allanbank is haunted by the trou-
bled spirit of "Pearlin JEAN" She
is so called from her fondness for a
particular kind of lace and rustles
up and down stairs in her silks.
In we'll known country house of
Fifeshire which has been for very
many generations in the hands Of
the same family an unhappy leman
by day and night haunts the great
stairs. Some time ago member of
the house party, while going down
to lunch, stopped to pick up her
handkerchief. As she recovered
herself she saw lady, richly
dressed and exceedingly handsome,
come from a door opening on the
landing and hurry down stairs. As
neither at table nor in the drawing
room did she again meet this stran-
ger, she mentioned the fact to her
host, who Inadvertently turned
the topic of conversation. The next
day, while going through the an
cicnt mansion with her host and
hostess, among other rooms they
looked into that out of which the
lady had emerged. The walls were
lined with family portraits, but one
place was untitled. It's picture lay
face against the floor. Said the
host: ooh, Miss So-and-so, you
have heard of my great-grand
cousin, who was rather a disgrace
to the family early last century.
This is her room" Saying this, he
bent down and turned the picture
round. what do you think of her
beauty?" There were the very face
and figure his guest had seen upon
the stairs Cassell's Journal.

that was nothing; that he had had

the disk plow is given credit for doing
more work than it actually performs,
in that the bottom of the furrow is not
fiat and measurements should not be
made at the deepest point.
The disk plow does not have tongue
and does not make as good corners as
the modern high class sulky plow. If
the disk is of proper shape and size, the
plow pulverizes and mixes the soil thor
oughly, which are essential features of
good blowing. The plow will cover
standing weeds to good advantage, but
loose trash is troublesome. 1t cannot
be used at all in tough sod
The size of the disk proper varies
from 20 to 80 inches in different plows.
A 24-inch disk will do the most salts
factory work under usual conditions.
1t pulverizes the soil to the best advan-
tage-more than a smaller disk, and is
not of as heavy draft as a larger disk.
A disk blade, 26 or 28 inches in dame
ter, can be used for longer period, as
much more metal is provided for wear.
1t is a mistake to try to cut too wide
furrow with a disk pillow. A furrow
wider than eight inches results in more
or less cutting and covering" It is
common to see plows cutting I2-inch
burrows which bearly meet each other.
The vital part of a disk plow is the
disk and its bearing. The former
should be constructed of the best of
material, for which the faith of the
manufacturer must be taken, and the
latter should have plenty of material to
resist wear and reliable means Of
excluding dirt and providing lubrica-
ton.

tons, where dead burrows are to be
avoided if possible, is of great impor-
lance. The advantage. of dispensing
with dead burrows in any field and thus
leaving the surface level, is worthy of
consideration. Tn Europe, the revers-
IDLE plow has been in more extended
use than in this country.
The moldboard type of reversible
pillow consists of two plows, right and
left hand, which are used alternately.
These plows do not have many of the
conveniences OF the high lift sullly and
do not make the usual provisions for
relieving the Landslide friction by placing
the load on the carriage. II 10, how
ever, an entirely practical tool The
reversible disk plow is 50 arranged that
by swinging the team and hitch abcut
to the opposite direction, the inclination
of the disk is changed, but the carriage
is left unchanged and is simply drawn
across the field in the reverse direction.
1t would seem that this implement has
reached higher state Of development
than its moldboard mate.-From The

The Safety Pin.

A historian of invention tells us
that to the walls Of a long suffering
infant we owe the boon of the safe
ty pin. Here is the story: A little
boy named Harrison, an English
blacksmith's son, had to look after
his baby brother. The baby often
cried, and its tears were usually
traced to pin punctures. The boy
nurse tried a long time to bend the
pins in such form that they could
be used with safety to his brothers
flesh. In this he failed, but his
father, the blacksmith, perceiVing
the utility of the idea that the lad
had been at work on, took it up on
his own account and eventually
turned out the safety pin that is in
use today all over the world. Wheth-
er the safety pin would have still
remained in oblivion but for the
tormenting Of one little English
baby no one knows, of course.
