Does any one know how many new
(arms were opened in the States and
Territories last year ; how many new
log cabihs have been built; how many
acres of virgin soil ploaghed up tor the
first time ? , It Is not probable that any
one docs know with exactness, but there
is a little table in the report of the Sec
retary of the Interior, presented to Con
nress some time nsro. which furnishes
tlie material for an approximately cor.
rect answer to these questions. During
.the year ending with June last there
were taken up under the Homestead law,
1.875.909 acres. New land taken
tip under the Homestead law is
for actual cultivation, and is gener
ally taken in lots of lSOjicres. It would
appear therefore, that more than 17,000

Homestead law alone. liut this is not
all. 4There were sold during the year
640,961 acres for cash, and 137,640 acres
were allotted on military land warrants.
It is no doubt true that a portion of these
778,831 acres were bought or. entered
by other than actual settlers, by specu
lator or by persons who made invest
ments of this nature for future purposes.
It would be fair to estimate, however,
that ODe-half of the 778,331 acres were
purchased or entered for the purpose of
immediate settlement or cultivation ;
and this calculation would give us 2,432
more new farms of 160 acres each.
There wero also 21,048 acres entered
upon. the Sioux and Chippewa half-breed
strip, and 607,984 acres taken up under
the timber-culture law. Leaving these
two latter items out of the calculation,
we have an aggregate of about 19,500
new faims commenced duiing the year.
This means 19,500 new homes. In five
years from now these 19,500 farms, un
der good management, ought to produce
annually some 20,000,000 bushels of
wheat, some 40,000,000 bushels of corn.
and some 400,000 head of cattle or swine
making provisions more than enough
to furnish meat and bread for New
York city for a whole year.

Cure for Wakefulness. For the
thousands who suffer from wakefulness
Dr. Cooke lays down the theory that in
numerous cases of sleeplessness it is only
necessary to breath very slowly and
quietly tor a few minutes to secure re
freshing sleep. taking note ot Dr,
Cooke's idea the Jlfedical Examiner
remarks : "Certainly, when the mind is
uncontrollably active, and so preventing
sleep we have ascertained from patients
whose observation was worth trusting,
that the breathing was quick and short,
and they have ibnnd they became more
disposed to sleep by breathing slowly.
This supports Dr. Cooke's practice, but
at other times his plan quite tailed. It
is certainly worth any one s while who
is occasionally sleepless to give it a trial
In doing eo tiny should breath very
quietly, rather deeply and at long inter.
vals, but not long enough to cause tlie
least feeling ot uneasiness."

A GHOST STOirSV
The only "true ghost story I know is
the 6tory of Choker's ghost. , That is a
positive fact well attested. All of the
neighbors know what happened. All
the neighbors saw all that was to be
seen. AH the neighbors saw how it be
gan ; and as it is the story ot Choker's
ghost, it could not have begun until
Choker died.
Old choker ho had been called for a
good many years before he was actual
ly old, I should suppose ; but he was a
very queer fellow, a man without rela
tives or friends, and who seemed to want
none.
He was a mysterious man, too.
He had a wooden leg, and do one
knew how he came by it.
He had a black patch over one eye,
and no one could tell why he wore it.
He had a rusty brown wig, and there
was no man intimate enough to know
whether he adopted it because he was
bald or because he was grey.
He had a deposit in the bank, and
no one knew how he earned the money.
He came a stranger to Grabtawn and
bought a house and a little farm there.
giving his name as Guy Choicer. -
That was all that anyone knew about
him, except that lie had the best crops
to bo seen for miles around.
He never went to church, and never
chatted to a neighbor.
No one knew anything against him ;
as they knew nothing, they suspected a
great deal ; and when at last lie was
found dead one morning, all the bottled-
up curiosity popped out as champagne
does when it is uncorked.
Everybody went to see him where he
lav.
Everybody attended the funeral.
It was decided that he died of apo
plexy.
1 here were no relatives to see to him.
but there would probably be plenty left
to pay for his funeral, so there was no
dilhculty about that.
1 he clergyman said a doubtful sort
of good word for him, and as he was
dead, no one contradicted it. . .
And Peggy Kinder, who said she
wasn't afraid of anything was put into
the house to take wire ot it.
She kuew old Choker very well, hav
ing done washins for him for five years.
That night, the weather being chilly
spring wcatner, sue maae up a gooa
fare iu the kitchen and slept on an old
lounre there.
Once in the night she woke up and
thought she heard the clump, clump,
clump, of a wooden leg overhead, but
though she telt a chill run up her back
bone at the thought, she made up her
mind that it was all nonsense, and went
to sleep a 2a in.
At six she was up and had put more
....
coal on the fire and was filling the ket
tle, when positively no fancy about it
this time she did hear that clump,
clump, again across tne room upstairs,
ba't a dozen times, then down the stairs.
The sound of Choker's wooden leg.
and nothing else ; and so she turned
about, shaking and trembling, she saw
Choker himself at the door in Ins big
flowered dressing-gown, with the black
patch over his eye, and the brown wig
on.
"Lord have mercy on us !" cried Peg-
ev
Then as Choker nodded cheerfully,
and said
"Breakfast ready yet?" she grew be
wildered.
"I've been having a horrid dream,
sir," she said, getting away trom the
figure though, as 6he spoke ; "ana iu
as natural as life. I dreamed you were
dead, sir, but it was so natural that you
skeer me.
"Do I ?" said old Choker. "Why,
bless ye, we must all die."
"Yes, sir," said Peggy.
"And all be buried too," said Cho
ker. "I know that," said Peggy. "
"Only all of us won't stay buried,"
said Choker, putting his finger to his
nose
And at that Peggy, never waited
even for her bonnet, bolted out ot the
house, and came tumbling into her
daughter's halt an hour after, shaking
with fright, and vowing she bad seen
Cl.oker's ghost.
The daughter was nearly as much
frightened as the mother, and the news
spread, but nobody believed it.
At least everyone said it was ridicu
lous, and that Peggy must "have been
drinking.
She did drink more than was good
for her now and then ; and at last the
undertaker himself, accompanied by the
coroner the two .men nervous on the
subject ot ghosts, and besides who had
a thorough knowledge of Choker's
death and burial, went to the house to
gether accompanied by a train ot ad
mirers who kept at a respectful distance
as they knocked at the door.
There was no answer to the first
knock, but having knocked again,
clump, clump came a wooden leg across
the passage, aud there in the door, stood
old Choker.
Everyone knew him.
He wore his old dressing-gown, he
bad the black patch over his eye, his
wig set a little on one side as usual.
"Walk in, walk in, gentlemen," he
said, I believe, Mr. Undertaker, 1 owe
you a small bill. You are prompt in
calling for it; but never mind, never
mind.. Let me see the amount, and IU
settle it; if .not to-day, some other day."
The two men drew back. .
"Zhave no bill, sir," said the odder,
taker; "but hearing the report .that
that " "
"That Peggy had seen my ghost, I
suppose, said Choker. 'Very well, sir,
draw your own conclusions ; but yon
deserve to be paid.. You buried me
very respectably, very respectably in-
deed ; and your jury gave a correct ver
dict, Mr. Coroner. .It was apopiexy.
An, well, don't be in a hurry.
But his visitors had retreated.
"It is Choker," said the undertaker
to the coroner;" yet I buried him, and
he was a dead man then."
"It's Choker, but he was dead when
I held an inquest over him," said the
coroner.
Tbev hurried away, and the crowd
hurried away too.
That day the grave was examinea.
It was empty ; even Choker's coffin
was gone.
After that, everyone believed the sto
ry but the clergyman and a scientific
gentleman.
The former declared that it was wick-
ed to believe in ghosts ; the latter, that
there was no 6uch things as ghosts.
Choker is not at the house at all,"
he said, "and his body is in the grave,
but Tonr imaginations have been so
imaginations have been
worked udoii. that you fancied you saw
.him in the house, and you believed that j
'you did not see him in his grave. !
When a man is dead and buried, that s
an end to him.'!
"But goto the house and see for your
self," said someone.4 "Alive or dead,
Choker is there."
Sir.'' said the scientific gentleman,
"neither alive nor dead, can be there.
Choker, ."should nflt believe I saw him.
My common reuse tells me that 1 can
not see him, and I never allow my
senses to contradict my common sense.
The house is empty. There is no one
there. It is all imagination."
However that may have leen, every
one else in Grabtown saw him sooner or
later.
The lamp burnt bright in his window
at night. The garden prospered under
his ghostly tillage. He drew the mon
ey at the bank as usual.
As a ghost, his silent, reserved con
duct seemed very suitable to his condi
tion.
Asa ghosf, it seemed very proper that
he should have no friends and no kin
dred.
People avoided his house ot nights,
and boys ran scampering awy when
they saw him plodding along lonely
lanes by moonlight, and old folks shook
their heads and sad it was curious; but
there was Choker, a tact to every one
but the scientific gentleman, who when
he passed him, muttered to himself
"Optical illusion," and whether he was
a ghost, or a man endowed with the
power ot defying death and the under
taker, no one felt prepared to answer,
lie was known sometimes as Choker's
ghost, but no one doubted :hat for a
moment that somehow he was Choker,
and the very Choker they had seen dead,
subjected to an inquest, and buried
and all this went on for ten good years,
and people had grown used to it, when
one cold winter morning a small note
was brought to the doctor, bearing these
words
"Come to me. I'm ill.
"Ciiokkk."
"Don't, go, dear," said the doctor's
wife.
"I must," said the doctor ; and went
accordingly.
He found the door of Choker s house
open, and the popular ghost himself
wrapped in a blanket by the fireside.
"Come in," he said, gasping tor
breath,"! wasn't sure you'd come. I've
been feeling the inconvenience ot bein
supernatural 6ince I've been too ill to
make myself a cup ot tea. Just see
what is the matter with me, will you
I think it's serious, whatever it is."
The doctor did his best.
His private opinion was that I'hoker,
whoever he might be, had not long to
live.
Whether he had ever been dead le-
fbre or not, he was certainly going to
die now.
"It is as I thought," said 'hokr,
looking into his face. "I knew .the mala
dy was incurable years ago. But the
end is at hand now, eh?"
"In the case of any other man
should say yes,", said tlie doctor, "but
I examined you once when vou were
certainly a dead man, and I can't judge
tor you. I don't ask your confidence,
Mr. Choker, but that affair is a puzzle
to me, though of course I have never
taken you for a ghost."
"I think I'll confide in you, doctor,"
sail Choker, "only you must promise
to keep my secret while I live. The
night before you held the inquest on
old Choker I came into Grabtown.
I'd been an actor once, then a soldier ;
lost a leg, and came home to starve or
beg.
"The door of this house stood open,
and in it stood a man. I came up to

You've'got a wooden leg, and, perhaps,

try, or scripture, or whatever it is, but
I do know about wooden legs. Come

"I went in, and he gave" me supper,
and a bed to sleep "in, in the garret.
We both saw that we looked considera
bly alike, and laughed over it. That
.night I slept in the garret, and when I
woke in the morning, I found my host
was dead, and the bouse full of neigh
bors. "I felt that as the death was sudden,

well, and as I told you, I had once
been an actor, and 60 I should step into

without hurting anyone. The night af
