A Comedian's Ghost
Great men who die these days seem
to have a fondness for revisiting the
scenes through which they moved
while in the flesh, and of this predilec
tion there has been several notable illus
trations in St. Louis within the past
few months. Bare old Ben DeBar was
hardly laid away in his grave before two
or three mediums announced that a
spirit was still moving in our midst,
and that it w as his pleasure to come
and commune with his family and
friends. There are three ar four sto
ries current about Mr. DeBar's visit,
but therejis one that has particular in
terest,) and is well authenticated by a
number of persons. About three weeks
ago Fred L. Herring, gas fitter, doing
business at 318 North Sixth Street,
was walking along tho street when he
felt something tugging at tho left lap
el of his coat. The pulling agency
was invisible, .ind Mr. Herring, being a
Spiritualist, felt assured that a spirit
was hovering and desired to communi
cate something to him. This belief
was confirmed when
HIS COAT WAS rt'LLKI).
Several times. This occurred in broad
day light. Mr. Herring's efforts to find
out what it was were futile, and he
went to see a medium for information
on the subject. Tho medium informed
him that it was the spirit of his old
friend Ben DeBar; who wished him to
call on Mrs. DeBar and request her to
visit the slate-writing medium. Dr.
Huntoon, then in the city, on which oc
casion ho would come and make a writ
ten communication to her. Mr. Her
ring at once proceeded to the residence
of Mrs. DeBar, and, telling her what
had been revealed to him, accompan
ied her to the residence of George M.
Jackson, the Do well bed-spring manu
facturer, HOG Locus street, where Doc
tor Hunton was holding seances and
sittings, Mrs. DeBar seated herself at
the table with the medium; and at his
request held the slate under the able.
On the upper surface of the slate was
placed a minute piece of pencil for the
SPIRIT TO WRITE WITH.
In a few momenta writing was heard,
which continued about two minutes.
When Mrs. DeBar was in the act of
drawing the slate from under the table,
under the direction of tha medium, her
hand was seized violently, and pressed
so hard as to give her considerable pain.
When the slate was placed on the table
it was discovered that both sides were
completely covered with writing with
the signature of Ben DeBar attached.
The writing wa3 private, and the na
ture of the communication was not
made known, but Mrs. DeBar stated
that it related to business affairs, and
included advice from the spirit of her
husband concerning the management
of certain properties. She stated fur
ther that she recognized beyond doubt
the handwriting and the signature of
her husband, aud that she was well
pleased with the result of the sitting.
At three seances that occurred sub
sequently at Mr. Jackson's
HIS SriRIT CAME
and answered audibly, answering a
number of questions propounded to
him by persons p resent:
"Are you happy, Ben?" asked Mr.
Herring.
" Oh, very happy," replied the spirit;
"life over here is perfectly delightful.
I've been trying to find thai hell we
heard so much of over there, but I can't
find it. There's no such place."
And then the spirit of tho jolly Ben
laughed audibly and heartily.
" I't jrweir to that laugh," said Mr.
Herring; "nobody ever laughed that
way except Ben DeBar."
On each occasion of his appearance
Mr. DeBar was jolly andgood humnior
ed, as he was in life, and so many of
the well-known peculiarities were so
frequently manifested that no doubt
was left in the minds of those in tho
circle that the spirit of tho dead come
dian was actually present. Ono night
the spirit of Charles Leavy came with
that of Mr. DeBar, and both conversed
with persons present, a trumpet being
used as a medium for speakiug. St.

"My Pantaloons". Avery absent
minded member of the French Insti
tute was reading tho newspaper in the
Casino, Dieppe, the other day. En

left hand unconsciously pushed the file

ed from him the pile of iiews'iapers.
Beyond was an inkstand. Presently tho
inkstand went over the side of the table.
It fell on the white trousers of a Paris
banker, who naturally put yourself in

party offered his best excuse without
appeasing the banker's wrath, who
shrieked that his brand new pantaloons
were ruined. " But, sir. I will cheer
fully pay for them; be good enough to
give me your card, and I will send the
money to your hotel." "To my hotel!
Sir, I don't know you, I must instantly
have the thirty francs thoso pantaloons
cost." The guilty party drew forth the
thirty francs and paid them ; then he
said: " Now that you have been paid.
Ihopeyou have too much the delicacy of
a gentleman to remain in my pantaloons .
You know those pantaloons are my prop
erty, and I insist upon their immediate
delivery to me. You had no confidence
in me; I have none in you. My pan
taloons." In vain the banker protested
against such haste. The crowd that
had gathered around the disputants
said the member of the institute was
right, and the banker, after sending a
servant for another xair pants surren

of the bystanders. Paris Correvpon

" An' do you mane to tell me that he

take the pledge at once, and did so in
the following form: " I swear never to

How to Sit a Horse.
It is a recognized principal that "a
horse-man grows from his seat." By
seat is meant tho manner in which the
weight of his person receives the im
pulse of the horse's movement. At e rery
step the impulse changes, unless the
seat is a good one, the weight is jostled
and the smooth action of the horse is
disturbed. If it is good, it is so adjust
ed as to receive the changing action
with a yielding resistance to the shock,
and to give no unduce check to the mo
tive power. While there must be a
certain ease of displacement thera must
also be an ability to hold firm to the
saddle, and, after leaving it, to return
smoothly to it. The real points of at
tachment should bo only from the knee
upward, by the inner flat of the thigh.
Ease of motion4Tbpends on the freedom
of the lower leg and the ready flexibilily
of the loins. From the knee to the hip
wo need firmness and solidity; from the
knee downward, tho freest pliancy. No
movement of tho horse should be so
sudden, and no lift iu leaping should be
so great, that tho thighs may not se
curely retain their position, and the
body and calves their flexibility. Rig
idity of the body implies the transmis
sion of force to the long end of tho lever,
which is the father of the fall, while
rigidity of tho lower legs carries an un
controlled impulse to the other end of
tho lever and disturbs the horse. The
absolute point of contract the point
which never yields its grip is at tho
knees only. In the leap, and to a less
degree in the gallop, these are the con
stant points of communication, and
however much the seat may be raised in
a strong leap these regulate its safe
and correct return.
Piiancy of the hips and freedom of
the calves are the first objects to be
sought, and it is these which it is the
most difficult for the mature beginner
to acquire. Much help may be gained
from a sort of calisthenic exercise of the
body, swaying from front to rear and
from side to side, and moving the arms
in all directions, retaining meanwhile a
firm seat without the action of tho calves
or the heals. There should be cultivat
ed too the ability to reach the too far
foward on the horse's shoulder, and to
raise tho heel high against his side with
out materially changing the position of
the knee. In short, the man should
learn the new art of moving his head,
arms, body and lower legs from his new
point of attachment at the thighs and
seat, with the same instinctive case and
certainty with'which he has learned to
move his whole person when resting on
his feet. In proportion as this suple
nose has become complete and instinct
ive, in that proportion does the man re
move himself from tho condition of a
suit of clothes stuffed with band, which
would topple over with the least move-

Weiglilns the Thanksgiving Turkey.
"Here, sir ! Please take the bird
around to Albro's and see how much it
weighs."
The idea ! What would the folks
over the way say, to see the "Professor"
walking out with a big turkey under
his arm ? That was the way the thing
presented itself to a good naturod col
lege student acting as privato tutor in
the family. But Mrs. Simpson, the
portly and practical housewife, had no
such idea of tho fitness of things.
It was the day before Thanksgiving,
and the farmer who had agreed to sup
ply her with a turkey had brought it,
but hud not weighed it, and, of course,
they could not agree on its weight, all
of which ended in tho startling projiosi
tion with which we began.
Well, if you aint the laziest man
! Just as though it was going to
hurt you any to take this bird to the
corner and back !" she went on, as she
saw me looking-, ajjpearently, for a hole
to crawl into, but, in reality, for the
broom, which, when I found, I made
use of in putting into execution a plan
I had found for weighing the turkev at
home.
I hung tho broom-handle to the gas
jet by a wire loop, and slid it along in
the loop until it balanced. By this time
all were curious to see what I was
about.
I then fixvd a wire to the turkey's feet
and hooked it so that it would slide on
the broom-handle. Next I got a flat
iron and fixed it in the same way.
When tho broom was nicely balanced, I
hung the turkey on the broom ond of
the stick, two inches from the balancing
loop. The a I hung the flat-iron on the
other side, and shoved it along until it
balanced the turkey. Next I measured
the distances of the turkey and flat-iron
from the balancing loop, and found
that the turkey hung two inches and
the flat-iron eight inches from tho bal
ancing loop. That was all. I had found
the weight of the turkey, aud told them:
Twenty-four pounds.
"Do you s'pose I'm going to believe
all that tomfoolery ? It doesn't weigh
more'n twenty, I know. Here, Maggie 1
Take this out and ask Albro to weigh it
for you."
"I'm blame if he hasn't hit it about
right," said the farmer who had brought
the turkey. "How did you find out?"
"Well, you see," said I, "the flat-iron
has a figure 6 on it; that shows six
pounds. Now, if the" turkey had not
weighed more than the flat-iron they
would have balanced each other at the
same distanco from the balancing loop;
but the turkey was the heaviest, so I
had to move the fiat-iron out further.
At the same distance from the loop as
the turkey (two inches), the flat-iron
pulled six pounds' w light, and at every
addition of that distance it would pull
six pounds more. Thus: at four inches
it pulled twelve pounds; and at eight
inches, twenty-four pounds. At that
distance it just balanced the turkey,
thus proving that it weighed "
"Well, Maggie, what does Albro
say?"
"Twenty-four poun,' mum," replied
Maggie, coming in.
"Well, I give it up, "said Mrs. Simp
son; and she did. and so do I till the
next time. G. M. Shaw, St. Nicolas for

Gifted in Conversation. An ap
prentice to a Danbnry undertaker, was
at a party the other evening. He had
all the enthusiasm peculiar to one new
in a business. The young lady who set
beside him took the occasion Jo observe
that we were having very warm weather.
"Dreadfully hot," he promptly rejoined ,
with the air of a man who knew perfect
ly well what he was talking about.
"It's almost impossible to keep a body
over night without plenty of ice. You'd,
be surprised," he added with animation,
"to see how quick they turn." If they
turned any quicker than she did, it was
a proper subject for surprised.

The Wisest of Precautions.
Of precautions, the wisest is that
winch is taken against disease. There ia safety
in timely medication; great peril in delay.
One malady often begets others far more dan
gerous, and if it does not. an abnormal condi
tion has a tendency, if unremedied, to become
chronic and obstinate. Trifling disorders of
the stomach, liver, bowels or urniary organs
may speedily develope in to formidable maladies.
Check them at the outset with Hostetter's Stom
ach Bittern, which, although it ia wonderfully
efiective in overcoming disorders of long stand
ing, is, like any other medicinal preparation,
more advantageous iu the infancy tf the mala
dioj tD which it is adapted than after they have
become chronic. Among these are dyspepsia,
liver complaint, constipation, intermittent and
reinittant fevers, gout, rheumatism, nervous
and general debility, and urninry troubles.
The L'i tiers arc a capital appetizer, induce
sound repose, and counteract the etVects of fa
tigue and exposure.
