The Safety Pin.

A historian Of invention tells Ne
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 we're usually
traced to pin punctures. The boy
nurse tried a long time to bend the
pins in such a form that they could
be used with safety to his brothers
flesh. In this be 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.

Phantoms That Are Said still 20 haua'
Country Houses.
The faith in ghosts still haunts
the minds Of many practical Scots
men, and the instances Of the live
/ supernatural upon which it is fed
are infinitely preferable to the ira
tional credulities Of our crystal
gazers 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 a night the Screen Lady"
so called from her green silk dress,
and in Berwickshire the residence Of
Ananbank is haunted BY the trou-
bled spirit Of 'sPearlin Jean" She
is so called from her fondness for q
particular kind Of lace and rustles
up and down stairs in her silks.
In a well 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 a member Of
the house party, while going down
to lunch, stopped to pick up her
handkerchief. AS she recovered
herself she saw a 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
Gent mansion with her host and
hostess, among other rooms they
looked into that out Of which the
lady had emerged. The walls we're
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, be
bent down and turned the picture
round. What do you think Of her
Deauty?" There were the very face
md figure his guest had seen upon
he stairs!-Cassel's Journal.
