THE CAPITAL EVENING- JOURNAL.
AN EAST-INDIAN GHOST.
It Proved to Ho a Uoa-ConstrlctorTwenty
Foot in length.
Almost every town or villas ha3 its
haunted houso and the litllo village settle
ment of Wanda, In India, was no exception.
Hero a number of English officers and their
families live during tho warmer months,
returning to thoir respective commands
later on. Tho rumor that Captain Beau
champ's houso was haunted was circulated
by a servant-a superstitious old English
man who had followed tho Captain all over
tho world, and was, all things considered, a
faithful servitor. Thomas had for somo days
heard curious sounds about tho houso. At
first ho thought thero wero rats or mico In
tho wall. Ho was awakened ono night by a
most extraordinary noiso. Tho door-bell
was" ringing violently, and a struggling,
writhing noiso In tho wall of tho house
not In ono place, but in several at onco.
This was followed by a complete silence,
and as Thomas sat up in bed, his hair
threatening to stand on end, ho was posl
tlvo ho hoard a long-drawn sigh. This was
tho last feather. Bo, leaping from tho
couch, ho rushed to his employer's room and
aroused him, avowing that tho place was
haunted, and a few moments later tho en-
tiro household was in tho room.
The notoriety so cheaply earned became
exceedingly disagreeable. First camo
strangers, natives nnd others, who stood in
front of tho houso day and night and looked
at it with wondering curiosity. Matters
stood in this shapo for somo day 3, when ono
morning a party of jugglers passed through
tho town and finally reached the haunted
house. As thero wero a number of children
In the family tho porformers wero Invited
Into tho grounds and gavo an entortainmont.
Finally, as a winding up, one of them took
out a small oval basket, having an oriflco In
tho top, and seating himself near it began
to play a quaint air upon a flute.
After industriously playing for a few mo
ments, says a correspondent of the Phila
delphia Times, up through tho holo In tho
basket came tho head of a cobra one of tho
most poisonous of snakes up camo tho
hideous head with its hood that gavo a
malignant appearance to tho reptile, and
when twelve or fifteen inches abovo tho
basket it began to wavo to and fro as If In
obedience to tho mcasuro of tho music.
After the snako danco or tho snako
"charming," as Europeans aro wont to call
It tho Indian snake-charmor walked around
the house and among tho bushes pointed
out a holo which might have been mado by a
rabbit. To ono of tho native attendants ho
Baid that for a small sum extra ho would
tako out a cobra which ho thought was in
tho holo. Tho Knglish officer did not be
lieve It, but willingly submitted to tho ex
periment, and seating himself boforo the
holo tho magician began his mournful
plaint.
For fifteen minutes he kept up tho noise,
and then from the opening thero appeared
tho ugly, hooded head of a cobra. Another
hole was soon found, this being directly at
the base of tho wall of tho houso. Tho man
examined it a fow moments carefully, and
then began to play upon tho flute.
Hardly had tho group gathered about tho
porformer before a most remarkable noise
came from the houso. First, there was a
sound as of escaping steam ; then a sound
of somo great body striking tho wall and
rubbing against the timbers. Dust in
clouds came from tho holo and the
"charmer" started back in terror, over
turning the man behind him. Recovering
himself ho darted at tho holo and thrusting
his arm in drow out, not a cobra, but the
tail of a much largersnake. Astonishment
was dcDictod on tho native's face and hor
ror in those of many of tho spectators, as
he stood holding tho tip of tho tail, and five
feet of tho body was visible.
For a second the man hesitated, then re
gaining his courago ho shouted in Hlndoo
stanee for the lookers-on to stand back,
and taking a good grip upon tho tall he
pulled gradually backward. Outitcame, foot
by foot, Inch by inch, 5, 10, 15, 16 feet 18,
was there no end? 18 feet of quivering
snake flesh as largo as a man's thigh.
A quick jerk now and the entire monster
was clear at least twenty feet in length
big enough to swallow a deer, and yet hold
by a single man. The nativo was, however,
not in tho least discouraged. Ho clung to
tho tail, and as tho hugo reptilo turned
toward him with an angry hiss ho gavo It a
swinging motion by turning slowly. Grad
ually he increased his speed, turning faster
and faster, until ho seemed tho center of a
whoel, tho spokes of which wero tho body
of tho python. Bo rapid was tho motion
that tho snake's body was perfectly,
straight, and it was evident that as long as
the motion could be kept up tho man was
safe, but if tho monster could reach him he
would In a moment bo crushed in tho hor
riblo folds of the reptilo.
Tho lookers-on had long since fled, tho
natives had gone shrieking up tho street,
tho Englishman alone standing by, but even
ho did not know what to do, as It was Im
possible to shoot tho animal as it was, flying
around; so ho stood a fow minutes aghast
at the curious position of tho man.
It soon became apparent that tho charmer
knew what ho was about Not far from tho
houso stood a stout flag-staff, a foot and a
hMf through, of solid teakwood, and toward
this he was gradually moving, whirling tho
snako faster and faster. Now he was with
in twenty-five feet of It, and suddenly It
dawned on tho fow spectators what be was
about to do. This was to striko tho head of
the reptile against tho polo. Nearer ho
came, whirling faster and faster, until tho
reptile stood out llko a whip-lash, and then,
with a quick step forward, ho brought tho
head of tho reptilo against tho wood with a
crushing sound. Ho released his hold and
tho great reptile doubled up in convul
sive folds, digging up the earth and sending
clouds of dust into tho air, finally dropping
limp and lifeless to tho ground.
A wondering crowd soon surrounded tho
dead boa, the now bravo natives expressing
their opinions as to its size. Ono thing was
evident-that hero was the "ghost." The
big snako had in some way obtained en
trance to tho house, probably through tho
hole in tho foundation, and had produced
tho mysterious sounds heard by tho men.
The snake-charmers bad, as Is their general
custom, placed a harmless cobra in tho holo
and before they had time to call it out It
had encountered the big boa, with the abovo
result.
Umbrellas with Windows.
There need bo no further excuso for al
lowing your umbreUa to drip down tho neck
of your dearest friend in a rain-storm or
running amuck of the hurrying wayfarer
coming from the opposite direction, says tho
Clothier and Furnisher. Tho rainy day
collision is one of tho greatest profanity
provokers of wet weather, and the English
man who invented tho glass window, by
which one's course in a storm may bo
sighted', deserves the thanks of ChrisUan
men throughout the word. This window
consists of a small oval piece of glass, with
a brass or silver frame, which is 1 easUy
mounted In a rib of the umbrella, white it is
fixed to tho silk by sewing It through tho
llttlo perforated boles in the frame. These
windows can be placed in new or old um
brellas In a manner which will not Injure
tho fabric la the least. As towhtkrtne
