MY PHANTOM.
There! a wrinkled old nu called Car
With thin and ecragly hair.
Who stands by my side all day
And follows me everywhere.
In the nisrht I wake with a start
I find him there at my bed;
I'm chilled by his stony gaw,
And my prayers are left unsaid.
When I stretch my hands toward the UgM
And the promise bow seems near,
I shudder in sudden dread
As I see this ghost appear.
Bis cheeks are sunken with sge
His eyes are hollow and dim;
Eis breath I breathe In the air,
And I'm growing to look like him.
Go where I will or may,
This old man holds me fast,
And so it will ever be
As long as my life shall last.

Mountain Storms.
One of the many carious superstitions
of the Welsh peasantry is that of Cron
Annwn, or "the spirit bounds of the
air." When a storm rages over the
mountains of Wales, the peasant will
tell you that his ear can discern the
howl of the Cron Annwn mingled with
that of the wind, but sufficiently clear
and distinct to admit of no mistake of
What it is.
These "spirit hounds," he tells you,
are the spectral dogs which hunt the
souls of the dead, or which foretell, by
their expectant cry, the approaching
death of some person of evil deeds. Few,

esin, and also in the "Mabinogion,"
where it is said they are of a clear, shin
ing white, with red ears. The above
seems to be the universal description,
and on that account the author of
"Mythology of the Ancient Drnids"
gives it as his opinion that they are
really "mystical transformations of
Druidish priests, with their white robes
' and red tiaras. "
In the popular superstitions of Ire
land, where a similar belief in spectral
bounds exists, they are said to be "jet
black, with eyes and teeth of fire. " Old
Con McMichael, who murdered 20 per
sons in the early part of the fifteenth
century, and who got rid of his victims
by burning their bodies, is said to have
been eaten by spectral dogs "that could
be seen high in the air awfully rending
and tearing his flesh." One of the pecul
iarities of the Cron Annwn, according
to the Bev. Edmund James, is that the
farther away they are the louder their
cries appear, the sound decreasing as they
draw near. Pittsburg Dispatch.
The Wild Dog of the Days of the Relf.
of Terror.
So many startling events happened
from day to day during the reign of
terror that the apparition of wild dogs
iu Paris is commonly overlooked. But
it was quite natural The greater part
of those grandees who fled or went in
to hiding kept dogs, and very few of
them were able to make any arrange
ment for the poor beasts when they left
borne.
The dogs, abandoned, took to the
streets, of course, and shortly they be
gan to congregate iu two packs, one oc
cupying the Champs Elysees and one
the Bois de Boulogne. Soon they became
publio danger. Curly le pokes fun at
Santerre, the brewer, who proposed a
law that all dogs should be banged ; he
had not noticed the paragraphs iu the
newspapers telling how people had been
attacked in the Champs Elysees.
At length the situation became really
grave, as is easily understood when
thousands of starving animals have to
find subsistence in a starving city. Many
of them were wolf hounds and of pow
erful fighting breeds. So in September,
1793,- drastio measures were taken
against the Champs Elysees pack.
Two battalions of the national guard
surrounded the area, leaving a gap to
ward the Rue Royale, while multitudes
of ragamuffins beat the cover. The game

Weighting Silk.
Some improvements in the treatment
of silk are noted. Ordinarily silk is
"weighted" by depositing tannate of
tin on the fiber; the material receives a
bath of tannic acid and then another of
perchloride of tin, a repetition of this
being made until an increase of the
weight amounts to from 15 to 20 per
cent, beyond which it is not considered
safe to go in the case of silk intended to
be dyed light shades or to be bleached.
Recently a German inventor has brought
forward a process in which silica is the
weighting agent la carrying out this
method three steps are described. First,
the silk, raw or in any stage of manu
facture and either before or after dye
ing, is worked for an hour in a bath of
perchloride of tin ; then, after squeezing
and washing, it is worked in a warm
solution of water glass or Eoluble sili
cate of soda for about an hour, followed
by washing, having also been previously
passed through a solution of phosphate
of soda. The operation may be repeated
again and again with no harmful effect
on the fiber or on the subsequent dye
ing, and in five operations the silk may
be increased in weight some 100 to 120
per cent. The silk is now soaped, and,
if already dyed, is cleared in an emul
sion of olive oil and acid. New York

Batching Eggs on a Fire Engine.
A good story is told concerning the
members of the fire brigade in a certain
town not far from Hastings. On one oc
casion it appears a fire broke out in the
town, and a resh was naturally made
for the fire engine, which was always
kept on the premises of one of the in
habitants. When the men attempted to
take the engine out, however, they were
met with the ezolamation from the ous
todian :
"Hi I ye can't take that out. I've got
a ben sitting on there, and you'll break
her eggs."
Tradition avers that the men, seeing
the force of this argument, instantly
withdrew, and the fire was put ont by
means of pails of water drawn from a
neighboring welL Pearson's Weekly.

Clever Ruse by Which Wellington's Auto
graph Was Secured.
It is well known that toward the lat
ter years of the Duke of Wellington's
life it was next to impossible to coax or
wheedle his autograph out of him. All
the stratagems used to get a reply from
him to letters failed ; he either did not
answer them at all or directed his pri
vate secretary to do so, and thus the fa
mous signature of ' ' Wellington ' ' became
a rarity highly prized by collectors.
Adtodos of this Answers tells of a
London lady who had an album gar
nished with the autographs of most of
the great men of the day, but wanted
that of the "Great Captain." She men
tioned her distress to a friend, a certain
Mr. H., and a few days after be, to her
great surprise and pleasure, brought her
a note from the hand of the victor of
Waterloo. It ran thus :
"Field Marshal the Duke of Welling
ton never ordered a pair of braces of the
Messrs. Simpkin. If F. M. the Duke of
Wellington had ordered the articles, he
could not forget it. F. M. the Duke of
Wellington always pays for his braces. "
This was a very odd document for a
lady's album, but its authenticity was
undoubted, and it therefore found the
best place in the interesting collection,
The way in which this singular note
was elicited was this:
Mr. H. filled up one of the bankruptcy
court forms and signed it, informing
the duke that in winding up the affairs
of Messrs. Simpkin he (the assignee)
found on their books the sum of 6s. 6d.
due by his grace for a pair of braces,
which he requested the duke would im
mediately pay or have paid. Mr. H. 's
ruse was founded on pure fiction, but it
succeeded.
Factory Buildings.
One of the most perplexing problems
that the mechanical engineer or the su
uerintendent of a manufacturing estab
lish'ment encounters is the dovetailing
of new buildings upon old ones so as to
work in harmony with them and at the
same time introduce such improve'
ments as may be necessary. Frequently
half a dozen buildings are erected on a
large plot of ground, each building fac
ing in a way that seems most conven
lent at the time and without any particu
lar reference to the others. When the
establishment has grown so that the
available ground area must be nearly
covered over with buildings and each
one must, either by shafting or belting,
be connected with its neighbor or with
some central source of power, then the
trouble arising from lack of harmony in
the original structures makes itself felt
in a most aggravating manner. It seems
sometimes as though trouble had been
created on purpose by those who first
erected the shops, so aggravating and
uncompromising do the buildings ap
pear. The moral therefore is that in
putting up a shop it is well to think a
long way ahead and to. consider at least
some of the most probable contingencies
of the future. Cassier's Magazine.
One of Field's Franks.
A story that has been written about
Field concerns the trick he played on
two car loads of Kansas City merchants
who went away one time on an excur
sion. Each car was to go by a different
route, and the cars separated at an early
hour in the morning when everybody
was asleep, except Gene Field, who was
along to write up the trip. Just before
the cars parted company' he carried all
the shoes from one sleeper into the other
and carefully exchanged them. Then he
took the shoes from the sleeper that had
a double supply and carried them into
the sleeper where nobody had any shoes.
The next morning there was a blue
streak two ways across Kansas. Every
man in both sleepers was miles and
miles away from his own shoes.

Mr. Caine read his address. He said in
part:
There are writers who ten us mat
such light forms of literature as the
novel aud the drama ought to have no
moral responsibility whatever. These
writers are of two classes. First, there
are those who think of a novel as John
son defined it in his dictoinary, 'A
smooth tale, generally of love.' The
second class are those who think too
meanly of all forms of imaginative
writing to allow either novel or drama
a place among the works that have any
thing to do with serious thought or the
real facts of lifa But there are other
writers who are so far from wanting the
novel and drama to be a sugar candy
kind of literature that they are forever
asking the remorseless German ques
tion, 'To what end?' Then there are
those who say the duty of a story teller
is to tell stories, not to preach sermons.
The novel should be no more moral than
story in 'The Arabian Nights.' Art
and morality have nothing to do with
each other. When the novelist or dram
atist presents his characters, he should
stand aside from them; he should disap
pear; he should annihilate himself.
This is the attitude of many ol the
French authors at the present moment.
The general practice of nearly all
the great masters is against this view.
Against the array of genins on the side
of conscious moral intention we can
mention two names only, but perhaps
they are the greatest names in literature
Shakespeare and Scott Taine calls
them 'the great impartial artists,'
meaning that they are the two great
speakers who were unconscions of an
aim in speaking. And seeing this, that
our highest literary man of the sixteenth
century, as well as our highest literary
man of the nineteenth century, wno
both immeasurably beyond aU others
commanded the world's ear, had either
nothing to say or preferred to be unin
cumbered by an ulterior aim, the greater
part of writers and readers have con
cluded that in a novel or drama it is
best to say nothing. Carlyle does not
take this view. The John Knox in Car
lyle sees only the Rob Roy in Scott, and
Scott descends as a consequence from
the rank of a great man.
"But there is a greater thing in a
novel or drama than subject, or scene,
or character, and that ib motive. It is
here that the master shows bis highest
mastery. Motive is to the novel or
drama what the text is to the sermon,
When I speak of motive, I do not mean
moral purpose. Motive is the silver
thread that holds in line the beads of
art Modern novelists and dramatists
seem to find it bard to combine unity of
purpose with freedom of invention. The
author of 'Kotre Uanie' shows masieriy
over motive, and so does the author of
'Anna Karanina. ' These two and these
alone seem to me to realize George
Eliot's ideal of the iuteusest realism of

FATHER'S DOMESTIC HEADSHIP.
No Outside Success Will Atone For a Neg
ligence of His Home responsibilities.
Dr. Charles H. Parkhurst, D. D., in
Ladies' Home Journal writes concern
ing "The Father's Domestic Headship :"
While, perforce of ordinary circum
stance, the father's duties will hold
him considerably apart from the con
tacts of home life, yet whatever success
es he may achieve outside will not atone
for any failure on his part to regard his
home as the prime sphere of his obliga
tion and the point around which his de
votements will cluster in distinguished
earnestness and constancy. Whatever
he may have achieved in his art, trade,
profession or other engagement, the
man who stands at the head of a house
hold has been in the broad sense of the
term a failure if he has not been a true
husband and a wise, strong and devoted
father. It cannot be a successful home
where the mother looks after the chil
dren and the father looks after his busi
ness. The most productive services ren
dered are always personal, and any
amonnt of exertion expended outside in
providing for the necessities of the home
will not take the place oi tnai tuiiionai

using the United Htares dies ror jooi.
The bullion was exhausted in May,
1801, when the coinage wised, aud the
United Slates dies were destroyed, a
Confederate states die was theu made,
to be used for silver half dollars, but it
was uot fit for use in acoiniug proHS, the

One of the first things the observant
trained nurse does when a new patient
enters the hospital and is put in bed is
to place a delicately constructed ther
mometer under the sick one s tongue
and get -the temperature. A chamber
maid from one of the down town noteis
was taken to one of the city hospitals
not long ago, and the above described
operation was performed at once.
"What in the wurruid are yea doing
that for?" she asked after the nurse got
through.
"I'm merely taking your tempera
ture." resuonded the maio with the
mnslin can.
"Bats I" said the occupant of the sick
couch. "How are yez going to tell by
that little thing whether I've got a
temper or not?" Washington Star.
Opening an Umbrella With One Band,
"Not infrequently," said a stroller,
"you see people with their arms full of
bundles making hard work of opening
an umbrella. There is a very simple
and easy way of opening an umbrella
with one hand, known to many, but
perhaps not to all. You grasp the little
cylinder around the handle, to which
the lower ends of the ribs are attached,
plant the point of the umbrella against
a lamppost, and push until the little
evlinder catches on the upper oatch, and
there you are, without the least trouble
in the world." New York Sun.
