GHOSTS OF THE LIVING.
A Case That Throws Light on the
Problem of ASPIRATIONS.

A Case That Throws Light on the
Problem of Apparitions.
1t is not at all necessary to resort to
the supernatural as the only sufficient
explanation Of apparitions. In truth,
there is one insurmountable obstacle
to regarding them as supernatural
manifestations, and that is the simple
circumstance that the ghosts wear
clothes. 1t is quite conceivable that
but nobody who gave the matter a sec
ond thought would contend for a mo-
ment that there can be ghosts of
clothes. Nevertheless apparitions are
always clothed and sometimes in gar
ments of such modern cut that they
were unknown at the time the person
seen as phantom lived on earth.
Aside from this, there is the inter
esting and by no means unimportant
circumstance that houses are some
times haunted by apparitions not of
the dead, but of the living. know
Of one case in which gentleman en-
tering a drawing room at in the
afternoon saw seated on the sofa a
young lady with reddish gold'' hair
who appeared to be reading a book
There were two other persons in the
room, one seated beside her on the
sofa, and the visitor was surprised to
find that they did not offer to intro
duce him to the young lady-did not,
in fact, seem to see her. Later a guest
at week end party saw the same ap-
partition in the same house, and it was
seen third time by one of the serv-
ants.
| No light was thrown on the strange
affair until, year afterward the wife
of the son Of the family arrived from
Australia to pay a first visit to her
husbands relatives and was immedi-
ately identified by the servant as the
figure she had seen. The two visitors
who also had seen the apparition sub
seQuently made the same identifca-
ton.
Since it is incredible to suppose that
a person can be in two places at the
same time-so that lady can be both
in Australia and in house thousands
Of miles from Australia-it is a legiti
mate inference that phantasms, wheth
er Of the living or of the dead. are de-
void of objective reality. are, that is
to say, always and only hallucinations

The Chance of a Word.

"Spanking'' did not suggest chastise-
ment originally. 1t was unknown to
Johnson in this sense. To him a
"spanker''. meant "a person who takes
long steps with agility" Rapid mo-
ton seems to be the root idea of the
word spank" which is not merely
representative of the sound of the act,
as slap and smack" are. The low
German ''pakkern." or ''spenkern,' to
run and spring about quickly, is close
to the original meaning; hence a
''spanking pace spanking breeze
and a ''spanker." in the sense of an
active and sturdy person.
