A HAUNTED ROOM.
The Mysterious Light That George
Cary Eaalesten oefisd.

Cary esslssten 0s6sd.
There was and perhaps still 10 Q
room in certain house in Virginia
which was supposed to be haunted.
Every time a person slept there he
would be sure to wake after awhile to
nnd the whole room pervaded BY a
dim yellowish gray or grayish yellow
light. 1t was very dim at FIRST, but It
Increased steadily till the occupant Of
the chamber fed from the nameless
terror in panic. Mr.. George Cary Eg-
gleston was not to be daunted by these
tales and accordingly decided to try
night there. In "Recollections Of
Varied Life he tells what happened:
1t was about midnight when ! en-.
tered the room. It was raining heav.
ily, and the wind was rafting the
stout shutters of the eight great win:
dows Of the room.
I went to each Of those windows
and infinitely examined 1t. They were
hung with heavy curtains Of deep red.
Having completed my examination.

door. went to bed. The great four

and the splash and patter Of the rain
- It beat upon the window blinds was
az soothing as lullaby. forgot all
about the experiment in which I was
engaged, all about ghosts and their
ways, and went to sleep.
After a time I suddenly walked to
find the room dimly pervaded by that
yellowish gray or grayish yellow light
which had so disturbed the slumbers
Of Others in that chamber. Ny awak-
ening was so complete that all my fac
ulties were alert at once. I felt under
my pillow and found the pistol still
where had placed it.
Instead Of springing hastily from
bed, I lay there for time, watching
the weird light as it slowly, almost
imperceptibly, increased in intensity.
decided that the gray distinctly pre-
dominated, but in the meantime the
steady increase in the light and its
pervasiyeness warned me. and I slip
ped out Of bed.
The rain was still beating heavily
against the window blinds, and the
strange yellowish gray light was still
slowly but steadily increasing. I was
resolute. however, in my determine,
ton not to be disturbed or hurried by
any manifestation. In response to that
determination glanced at the mirror
and decided that the mysterious light
was sufficient for the purpose, and l
resolved would shave.
Having done so, bathed in the rap
idly increasing light I was deliberate.
however, in DOMINIC my clothing, and
not till l was fully dressed did turn
to leave the room.
I turned the key. A second later |
was out Of that chamber, and the oak
en- door of it was securely shut behind
me. l went down the great stairway.

my resolution. entered the large
hallway below and thence passed to

Practice Class in Teachlno,

One or the interesting phases Of the
work in the Domestic Science Depart
mont OF the West Virginia University
during the spring term has been that
OF q practice class conducted by the
young ladies who are completing the
work Of their second year. The pupils
OF this class are eighteen girls from
the freshmen and sophomore classes
OF the Morgantown High School, who
meet in the University laboratory on
Saturday mornings.
The purpose OF this work is to give
practice In teaching to graduates of
the University who are going out in
the state to teach Domestic Science.
A series OF six lessons Is being given.
each upon type Of food Each Of the
girls OF the department is required to
teach one lesson, making out her own
lesson, plan and market list. The girl
teaching Is responsible for all Ques-
tons and criticisms. Conferences are
then held by the head of the depart
ment both with the one who acted as
teacher and with the class as a whole.
The demand for Domestic Science
instructors is very great, and it is
essential that the graduates In this
work have much practice before as
sumlng responsible positions.

seDtation in the administration Of
government. Spain in ten years
could not catch any Of the Negro
leaders aDd soldiers who we're fight
iug her. What chance have the toy
soldiers of capturing the men now in
revolt in Cubs? If the United States
sends Southern U. S. Army officers
into Cubaato assist the present ad-
uinistration there in putting down
the rebellion, there will undoubtedly
be some bloodshed. Like the jap
anese the Cuban Negroes do not fear
death, and now that they are con-
tending for sacred principle they
are resolved 10 make foreign inter
ference with their internal affairs
both bloody aud expensive. The
Southerners who settled in Cuba
after the war, or who have gone
there recently are largely responsible
tor the present crisis. They will
welcome Intervention for obvious
reasons, but tbere will be many a
funeral in Cuba, when America in
tervenes, and the deceased will not
all of them be Negroes. The Cuban
newspapers printed in English give
no important information about the
uprising there. They are hysterical
and sensational and given to exag
geration of the facts. Those printed
IN Spanish hoWever-at least some
OF them-regard the situation ae very
grave and they do not minimize the
strength Of the following of the men
who are leading the revolt. When
Nat Turner started his ineurrection
in Virginia, in 1888, the press of the
couDtry did not at any time publish
as much as column of matter re-
lating to it. 1t rather suppressed
the facts. This ia wha, the Cuban
papers printed in English are doing
and what American newspapers ore
doing in the United States. There's
a reason.

was given a cabinet portfolio. The
Morna Law in effect is directed
against the Colored Cubans, who
when Spain was fighting the United
States, took the side of this country
and furnished some of the best and
'oravest black troops and officers
that ever went up against the Span
'ish Army and they licked the Span
cards "to frazzle,' as everybody
knows,
Very naturally these black veter-
ans and their race being in the ma
.gority in Cuba, feel that their class
should be recognized, especially in
view Of the fact that in every revolu-
stion that has taken place in Cuba the
Sblacke bave furnished the command
"ers and the larger number Of the
followers and fighters. The Morna
naw prohibits these blocks from Org
'anizing q separate political party in
