Mv father wna captain of the Enclisli coast jfimni service for tho district, so on this account, tlmt lio might bo nenr His men, "vo li veil on tho wntor's edge, nenr tho barracks, and when 1 hud been very good lie would give tne in chnrgo of IJres I'm, tho old pensioner, who would row mo ubont tho harbor mid tell mo strange stories of the sea Then wo would row over to tho old blnck hulk of tho lJellona, which was chained tlioro in tho harbor many years before I was born. Tho masts were gone long since; tho tall sides wcro dented with tho marks of battlo and tho neglect of years, which is still more de structive, and Dresliu would toll mo how this vessel had been with Nelson and tho Victory at Trafalgar. Ho would hobblo up ami down tho deck, talking loudly and pointing out to mo tho beauties of tho old man-o'-mar. Hero, on this bpot, tho cap tain had stood; over there wus tho plaeo whero tho shot camo through that killed him and I would fall on my knees and begin looking to seo if thero yet remained any of tho horo's blood that tho rain and timo had not washed away. Ih-eslin would take mo forward and hold mo over tho bows so that 1 could nd mire tho figurehead a beautiful lady, with gold eyes and bluo hair. Tho noso had gone years ago, but thero seemed a certain majesty in tho look even then. What a piece" of art it wasl I5reslin agreed witli me fully that thero had been nothing like it since Hut, indeed, with Iiresliu tho good old days wero long passed, and ho would have placed tho decadenco of tho English navy with great exactness at 1840 tho year ho left it and got his pension. Yes, it was pleasant to row about tho old ship and listen to tho old sailor's btories of her storic3 of tho times when bho sped through tho waters liko a swan, with a merry crew nnd her white sails sot in the brcexe, a terror to tho enemies of England wherever met poor thing! sho wns so helpless now. I5ut oven now thero was somo mystery connected with tho Uollona, as sho lay, a broken and useless old hulk, chained in tho harbor. Breslin hinted strango things. It was known throughout tho town that my father had given strict ordors that no ouo should go on board except lh'cslin and myself. Vague conjectures wero indulged In by moro than ono village gossip. Thero was somo mystery, no doubt au awful ouo. Each timo I had visited tho ship I had noticed tho hold full of long black bones, all stamped with tho government seal. What tho cargo was I would have given my cars to find out. At length I could contain myself no longer and so made known my suspicions to Breslin as wo sat together on tho quay ono sunny afternood. "Why don't peoplo go on board tho BollonaV" 1 asked. "Is it haunted? Pleaso tell mo." But tho old sailor puffed at his pipo very sagely for a moment or two nnd ventured his opinion tlmt ho had no doubt that thero woro ghosts thero, no doubt whatever, such things wcro natural, most natural. Had I never heard tho story of tho "Flying Dutchman"" And thereupon ho began to relate a talo of such a horri bio and bloodthirsty naturo that I was frightened near to death of tho phantom ship nnd tho ghosts who had to appear by niglit and as misty forms sot tho airy sails aud clear tho deck for action ami act over tho light again until somo kind mor tal would releaso them from their dread ful task. It seemed to mo an awful story, but Breslin said it was true, for ho had sailed onco with n man who had seen tho Flying Dutchman and tho phantom crow. What moro proof could I ask? That evening I went homo In a strango stato of mind. At dinner my father noticed my silenco and naked mo whero I had been. I told him, and ho inquired If Breslin had left his pipo on shore, a ques tion which seemed to mo at tho timo to bo most singular, nnd only strengthened my bcllof In tho old sailor's talo of tho ghosts. My father know tho facts, too, then; but what relation could thero bo botween ghosts and pipes? Did ho wish to turn my thoughts Irom so terriblo u subject? Truly, I must learn moro about ghosts. To-morrow I would ask tho cook, who was an authority on tho sub ject. That night I went to bed early, but not to sleep; visions of cloudy spirits haunted mo continually. All tho terriblo Btories of IJroslin camo unbidden to my mind. I began to count a hundred In hopes of bringing on sleep; It Wns useless. Tho vlllago clock began striking tho hours as I lay thero awako. Elovcn twelve! I aroso timidly and approached tho window. Thero In tho moonlight stood tho old ship; a slight mist seemed hovering around It. My breathing on tho window pauo had hid it a moment. I looked again. No; I could mako out nothing. Perhaps tho clock was not right; porhaps tho spirits wero invislblo except from tho dock of tho hhlp. Truly, it was a htrd, hard task to see them no I went to bod full of great idea for tho morrow. Nest morning I roo rather onrly and Immsdlately nought tho envo of tho sib) I or, in plainer word, the kitolion. Tho ocok seemed rather amonlsked at my quoetlou. "Did she know of ghosts?

"How dkl lie !y hmnV I mM, "PrIU), 1 (iUJUttl wit lio tuU two hjletlil ciudlu3 un' Mg howly tvathcr u4. ipuiio in Latin, mid they just wcro laid and nivir throttbled tho family from that dav." "What did ho say in Utin?" "Ik'gorrnh! I'm "no schollard. Shure, isn't Latin lntiu, nnd isn't it all tha same, the only thing tho divil can't un derstand? Ami if ho can't understand ono Latin, how will ho know another?" The logic was irrefutable. Any Latin, then, would do. I would get my "Cirsar," which 1 proposed to tako up soon, and read tlmt. Tho great question was at last solved. Now I had some idea. I don't know from what source it rose, that Sunday. bojg a day of holiness, would ho better llttod for my undertaking, so mado my preparations accordingly, but witli great secrecy and cam Txn wax ctvndles I stolo from my adviser, tho cook My Iitln ' Ciwsnr" never loft my pocket, nnd ono afternoon, just at dusk.'l peeped cautiously Into tho old Catholic church upon tho hill and, finding no ono there, tiilcd a Mini 1! bottlo with holy water from tho font near tho door Now I whs perfectly equipped. For the next two or three days I nltcr nnted between feelings of doubt nnd fear, but nt UiHt tho Sundav camo OI how tri umphant I felt as i looked around In church nnd thought of what n hero 1 wns soon to become1 How people would want to notice mo then and not bo blaming mo for every tiling that took place, as they did now Failure in tho great attempt never entered my mind At supper I was very quiet. I obeyed implicitly and refused tho third picco of cako which was kindly offered to mo by my mother, a circumstanco never known to have happened before My mother was considerably astonished, and moro so when 1 announced my intention of going up to bed and kissed her a fond good night. As 1 lingored on tho stops I could hear her mako soino kind remark, to which my father very cruelly answered, "Bosh I" and went ou with his reading. Ten o'clock struck on tho church clock. I could liaar thotn about to go to bed; now they wero coming up tho stairs; nowthoy had gone into their room. Hero was my opportunity, so I stolo softly down stairs with mv boots In my hand, looking moro liko a thief than a hero, a fnct which I no knowlodged to myself as I camo faco to faco with tho mirror in tho hall. To un lock tho side door was short work; to run down to tho summer house in tho garden and get my candles, water and matches was tho next task. Then 1 went to whero my father's small boat lay uudcr tho gar den on tho rocks. Tho rope was easy to undo and tho tido pretty high, eo I was soon rowing out to ward tho black mass in front. Tho spirits at last would havo thoir rest. That I was frightened31 will not deny, but tho night was so clear and tho moon seemed so friendly that I took courage, and besides, it was only half-past 10 and nothing would appear until 12. I had nearly two good hours yet. Tho old man-o'-war seemed very lonely when I approached it. Tho figuro head appeared to regard mo with a less friendly glanco than in day timo, but I did not caro. I got up to tho deck slowly and with great quiet. I could hear my heart beat as 1 looked around and realized for tho first timo my utter lonoliness. Could I bear to meet tho ghosts if tlioy should appear? Clearly I could not. And It was gotting later, too; what If anything whito should como before midnight? Why, it would bo terriblol My courago was fast failing; I wouldn't havo stayed there until 12, not even to bo Lord Nelson him self. But stay; something might bo done, even In my absence. A brilliant idea, and a safe ono! I went to tho center of tho ship, trembling In overy limb. I lit my two candles aud set them down, and then, in a voice broken with fear, I began slowly to read tho opening chapter In "Crosar," "Oallia est omnis dlvlsa In partes tres" and so I kept up until I fin ished tho first pago, and laid tho book down open at tho placo. Then I poured tho holy water around In great profusion. "Now," thought I, "what moro can I do? Hero is everything ready, all tho materials at hand, aud If tho ghosts come and want to get released lot them go through tho ceremony themselves. Tho candles aro lit, my Cie'sar' is at their dis posal IshnllBny'l lost It; and now I'm going homo." And thereupon I ran quickly to my boat and rowod as if a thousand fiends wero following mo, no longer a hero, but a much frightened boy. As good luck would havo it I got In Bafely, I gained my room, undressed, and then, with a feeling of great rostfulnoss, took my position at tho window, Twolvo o'clock struck. Nothing could bo soon on board tho Bcllona. but I had no doubt that strango things wero taking placo thero. I watched carefully, I was gotting sleepy 60 sleepy and finally, without my knowing It, I droppod on tho floor asleep. "Great heavens!" what was that?" Tho wholo house scorned to rock and sway and a mighty noise as of thunder sounded In my ears. I rushed to tho window. Thero whoro tho man-o'-war had been n mighty sheet of (lame burst forth. It wus u frightful sight. Tho villagers wero crowding on tho quay In abject terror. My father rushed down und culled out In auger: "Iiresliu, somo miscreant has fired tho gunpowder stored ou that old hulk. See that no ono leaves hero to night." I saw It all now; gunpowder had boon tho mysterious cargo, after all. That was why my father had naked about plpos. My candles had dono tho work. Tho old ship was gone; tho ghosts had been laid! And I hid my head under tho sheets nnd made no movement thut night, und In tho morning, when every ono was talking about tho explosion, tlioro was ono young gentleman who hud no theory ami who had fclept through It nil and that young f outleman was niykelf.

Hooks nre reproduced in this country directly from photographic plates, nnd so rheaply ns t iell lor one half tho prico ot reprints by the usual type methods tho Encyclopedia Hritannicn, of which seven teen vohunes have been issued, being tho nnwt important work thus far photo uraphieally reproduced. Uy chance it was dixeovered tlmt the gelatine plnte, from which the electrotype is made in this pro cess, could be printed from directly, giv iin; a laiver number of good copies than the hardest electrotype. Tho New York Eveniuir Post now says the most recent development In this direction, nnd ono which has scarcely been foreseen until very recently, is tho proposed use of tho gelatine process of printing for newspaper work. A western inventor hns been engaged for some time in au experiment, which alms at nothing less than the entire elim ination of the compositor for book work nnil even newspaper work. The process N virtually that already followed by tho tlrms which reproduce English works by photography, but instead of photographing a printed page, it is now proposed to photograph from typo written pages, and reducing the plate nt tho same time to tho siz.e of ordinary print to placo tho result ing gelatine phito upon a printing press and use it instead of tho electrotype mado from the metal types. Tho late Col. Kichard Howe, tho veteran press inventor, in reviewing the development of the print ing press during his lifetime, said: "I have some idea that the next jump will bo in the direction of photographing tho newspaper upon tho sheet of paper as it llies tliroush tho p;ess. I don't know how such .i thing can be done, but with the instantaneous process of lightning photographs somo genius will use it for the newspapers." He did not live to seo any experiment ninde in tho direction of actural photography of newspapers, but there seems to havo been something al most prophetic in ills suggestion of pho tography for tho newspaper of tho future. Chicago News. Tile Coin ColliTtlnc Crnzo. "The coin collecting crazo begins In curious ways," said 11. H. Collins, of the treasury department. Tho foremost colj lector of the United States, who died re cently, became a collector through an accidental desiro to possess a big cent of the year of his birth, 170!). Ills collection was sold after his death at auction. It brought $20,000, and it would today real ize double that sum. The cost of raro coins increnses yenr by year, and tho in crease in value3 during tho past live years has been over 200 per cent. Coins must not only be rare, but they must bo in good condition, and the best are hard to obtain, A perfect coin of some dates aro as raro in n Maud S., a peachblow vaso or a Koh lnoor diamond." "What are the leading specialties of the United States collectors!1" "Three-fourths ot the collectors of this country collect United States and colonial coins, and tho others collect miscellaneous coins, ancient and modern, foreign and United States. Somo collect only certain series, some only gold coins, some silver nnd some only copper. My specialty Is copper cents. Its coins are the rarest to bo found in perfect condition, and the val ues of copper coins aro moro certain. It Is very hard to find tine specimens. The cents and half cents have circulated to such an extent that they havo becomo worn, disfigured, black and smooth, nnd rare cents in uood condition aro thus very costly. Washington Cor.

Demorcst's Monthly. The Slav's I.ovii of Music. The Bohemian Dvorak relates In nn au tobiographical sketch that In his country every child must study music. "Tho law enacting this is old; it wns once repenlod, but is in force again. Herein I consider lies one great secret of tho natural talent for music in my country. Our national tunes and chorals came, us It were, from tho very heart of tho peoplo, and beautiful things they were. I Intend somo day writing an oratorio into which I shall lntroduco some of these chorals. Tho Slavs all lovo music. They may work nil day in the fields, but they are always sing ing, and the true musical spirit burns bright within them. How they lovo tho dance, too!

There is another nnd not a small class of lawyers who industriously peruso the columns of the press in quest of oppor tunities to advise the bringing of suits for libel against a paper that may havo men tioned somebody's namo in an uncompli mentary way. I know of a recent case where a paragraph spoko somewhat dis paragingly of a friend of mine. Tho next morning when he got to his office he found a dozen notes from as many at torneys lying upon his desk. Ho opened them, and each contained a slip of tho paragraph in question and all urging him to bring suit and ottering their services. He had not read tho article, and knew nothing of It until ho opened the bids, each nnd every ono of which pronounced the paragraph an outrage, lleforo he had read half of them ho wns boiling over with indignation against the publisher?
