GHOSTS OF THE LIVING.
A Case That Throws Light on tiss
Problem Of Apparitions.

s'S0sVsU " HPPSTiIlOn8s
1t Is not Mt all necessary to resort tn
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. It is quite conceivable that
there really may be ghosts Of persons,
but nobody who gave the after n sec.
ond thought would contend for mo-
ment That there can be ghosts of
clothes. Nevertheless apparitions are
always clothed and sometimes in gar
ments or such modern cut that they
We're unknown at the time the person

circumstance that hous es are some

The Curse Of EATING In Public.

In public eating house yesterday

better of good judgment and ordered it.
With our face buried in cob SO that

Say. man. you don't have to inhale
that corn. You know you can eat it."
