GrieVino Cows.

An Essex correspondent of the Lon
don Daily Mail writes: This morning
/ witnessed a strange sight in which a
herd Of cows. an old bull and "a few
calves took part in meadow near my
house
A COW that had recently calved died
in the night and yesterday morning
lay ont stiff on the frosted grass be-
meath a tree. During the day COWS
roamed near the place and stopped to
smell and lick the side and face of
the dead animal Not till this morn
ing did the Lracker's cart arrive to
carry the body away
When the vehicle was drawn to the
spot the whole herd came slowly up
and stood round watching intently.
with heads down, and an indescrih-
able expression, which seemed half
questioning and half sympathetic, in
their eyes. Seven Of them aud the
old bull came up ana licked the dead
cows face, in one instance as it was
being hoisted into the cart When it
was taken away they stood watching
it to the far side of the meadow and
through the gate till they could see it
no longer. Then they smeIIed all over
the spot where it had lain.

BISHOP ALONE SAW GHOST
Hoax cleverly Carried Out by Noted
EecIesiastic Is Recalled 5y
British Paper.

The great Bishop Wherefore was
staying at great country house. AS
he took his hostess down to dinner he
glanced behind him and saw five cou-
pies following, and last of all an &C.
cleSiaStic in a monks costume who
was strange to him.
He remarked to his hostess, II see
you are not superstitious about sitting
down thirteen to a table,"
His hostess went deadly white, and
said, For heavens sake say nothing!"
Sitting down, he noticed that only
twelve seats had been placed, and
moment after saw the supposed monk
standing behind the hosts chair. 1t
was not long before he realized that
no one but he saw the figure. After
dinner the host explained that the
monk was an apparition which none
but the head of the family, in each
generation, had ever seen, and that its
appearance always foretold disaster.
The next day the same figure ap-
peared to the bishop in the garden and
explained that in life he had been con-
fessor to a reRefmmation head of
the family and had been reading a
written confession from penitent.
Being suddenly called away he had
slipped the confession into the volume
of the Fathers he was reading. He
had died suddenly and could not rest
for fear 1t should be found and the
secrets of the confessional revealed.
He eXhorted the bishop to find the
confession and burn it unread.
The bishop went to his host and
said, Il do not know if you have
library. | do not know if there is
volume Of such and such a Father
on the shelf / name. Come and look"
They looked, found the book, found
in it an old manuscript, yellow with
age, and burnt it. The monk never
appeared again. Bishop Wilberforce
told the story. But he was a wag, and
among friends he never concealed the
fact that he himself had invented the
entire tale for the purpose of seeing
what people would believe if told with
a sufficiently grave face.-Mancheste

Little Jeanne was tremendously in

Her mother, knowing the child had

Do Animals Love Music7

l was awakened the other morning
by the clatter Of a horses hoofs and
mans voice singing "Killarncy,"
says writer in the London Daily FIX
press, Peeping through the venetian
blind I saw that a young Midland
railway carter was the vocalist and
that his horse, which was harnessed
TO a heavily-laden van. was following
him in a zig-Zag fashion, across and
up the steep road which runs past my
windows. He was not using a whip
or touching the rpins, and the horse
kept his nose near his shoulder but
when the man stopped singing, the
horse stopped pulling I have heard
the land girls say they sing to the
horses and cows they look after, and
that the animals love it, and I know
in India some of the hardest labor
Is done by oxen driven--not with
whip or goad-but by the singing Of
the native boys In charge of them.
