In tho little town (if liallinaslon lived a
man, IiIh wife and an only child. Hy noma
uuhaipy chance tho "good people" enst
covetous eyos on the mother and horn her
nway on a pray horse, nllmvliiR her to re
turn at midnight for a short time to sua
her hiitiy; This she. did regularly, tho
husband taking It all as a matter of course
ml asking no u,uestlons.
Her hrolher, however, chanced to meet
heron tho threshold one night, and by
asking where sho was going broke the en
chantment, and sho returned to tho world
once more and lived, perhaps Is living
still, to tell her story to the wondering
neighbors gathered around tho glowing
turf lire to smoko their pipes of peace.
Tho liellef In spirits nnd spirit walking
Is ust about as llrmly rooted; perhaps In
deed uioro so. If n man Is unhappy nfter
'death, his relatives nro constantly remind
ed of tho fact by his frequent appearances
to them, nnd until they havo done their
Tory utmost to perform tho duty which ho
loft unfulfilled they aro llahlo to bo an
noyed by his visitations, which, however,
oen.se when It Is accomplished. Tho trans
migration of spirits into tho IkhIIcs of ani
mals is another article in a peasant's creed.
Tho writer has known n servant maid who
left a situation where sho-was happy and
ooinfortithlu because on her way into town
sho was obliged to pass a largo black re
triever dog, which bIio vowed was pos
sessed of an ovil spirit.
Tho banshee Is believed in universally.
It la tho spirit by which death is foretold.
Its cry, which resembles tho howling of a
dog in pain, but from which it can bo
readily distinguished by a true born son of
tho noil, is repented three nights in succes
sion, and foreliodes certain death. It is
said that tho spirit takes thn form of a lit
tle whito robed woman with llaxoti hair,
which she is busily engaged in combing
while emitting her dUmitl death wall.
Should a mortal approach her sho van
ishes, but if ho attempts to touch her sho
hurls her comb vindictively at him, and be
falls a victim. Chicago Dispatch.
THE FINICAL MAN.
How lie Ordered Ills ltreakfast of the
Knowing Wulter.
A man nfllictod with tho dlseaso of fln
Icklsm, an txaggcratlou of tho value of
details, was giving his order for breakfast
to a hotel waiter. Tho mun was finical in
the extreme, and tho exactitude of his or
der respect fully nmused tho waiter, who
was somewhat of a judge of human na
ture, inasmuch its ho bad served breakfast
to many men.
Breakfast time is In variably when you
get down to tho bedrock of ii man's true
disposition. It is loo early In tho day, and
ho Is too close to nature It. --elf to havo put
ou tho little disguising frills that he be
gins to assume along about 11 o'clock. At
all events, the waller understood anil took
his order respect fully, even servilely, with
out losing his own estimate of the man.
Tho man bad n morning cough and sip
ped ico water as ho gave his order.
"Bring mo a pot of cotTeo," ho said.
"And mind It mut bo but hot nnd
strong, don't forget to havo it strong. And
a sirloin steak, rare remember, havo it
rare anil no fat. I can't bear tho sight of
tut in tho morning."
"Yessir, ycsslr. No fat," replied tho
waiter.
"And bring me some, dry toast, hot,
mind ymi hot toast and have it mndo
from stale bread. 1 don't want it toasted
outside and soggy within. Now don't for
get that."
"No, Fir; all right, sir; not soygy In

"And let's neel Yes, bring mo some
fried o,-js. t're&h eggs, you know, ixt
fectlv troeli, and I want them fried ou

Wonderful iinpiisslvonoss, which riono

strength or weakness of Grant's 'hnnd' by

Tonled the fact that ho watched his adver

with unerring certainty. Ho would call n
man with au inconsiderable 'pulr when it
cost a good round sum to 'soo tho bet.
"It was undoubtedly tho outcome, of
military genius which enabled Grant to
detect either tho strength or tho weakness
of his ndversury nt cards. We did not thou
comprehend that his piny was strategic,
nnd his met hods of gaming really conduct
ed upon military principles. (Subsequent
events developed that his passion for gam

nearly as much us it alTorded him oppor

SHAKESPEARE INCOMPLETE.
II Had Not Foreseen the American Typo
of Human Nature.
"It is not true," remarked tho learned
day actor, "that Shakespeare created all
kinds of characters, for I do not 11 ml In
his dramas any characters that bear any
resemblance to tho great Americans who
have llgured in our country's history.
Thero is not in all of them even the shad
ow of a personality llko Abraham Lincoln,
than whom thero is not a lluer theme f.rr
some future American dramatist, ablo to
illustrate tho scenes in his career, from tho
Kentucky log cabin to the thenter lu which
ho was assassinated. Shakespeare has no
Goorgo Washington, no Andrew Jackson,
none of our heroes or sages, none of our
many unlquo notables, and nono of our
wondersomo women. His creations belong
to many countries, but ho never gives a
forecast of the peculiar American product
which came into cxlstonco centuries after
his death.
"Few of Shnkespearo's characters would
ever havo been tolerated in this country.
wo could not havo ralstnfl among us, or
Macbeth, or Lear, or Caliban, or tho ghost
of Hamlet's father, or Ophelia, much less
any of his royal or classical chnrncters.
"Wo havo had plenty of Americans
worthy of dramatic honors, fitted for tho
tragedy, tho comedy or tho historical play,
totally different I u their traits and deeds
from tho Minkcsponroan people, nnd tho
like of whom were novor supovstod or foro-
shndowed by Shakespeare. Tho oft repeat
ed statement that tho p'.aywrltor of Strat
ford conceived nnd drew nil types of humnn
nature and all varieties of human life Is n
fiction. Should a man of his genius ever
ho horn in tho United States, bo would
ilnd hero an ahundanco of material for
dramas ns grand as ever were written."

An Insuperable Obstacle.
Together with the question of bloomers
for women, somo of the souls which Im
agine themselves t.) be lll'.cd with lesthetio
longings nro making a despernto effort at
another revival of tho long desired knee
breeches or knickerbockers. They ullo;?i
that trousers are baggy at tho kneo und
liable to becoiu'i dlrtv at. the ankle. They
also hold up the knee breeches as things of
beauty and call upon i.mseuliuo fashion to
'idopt them.
Wo do not thli.k it w ill bo done. Wo
need not dispute with tho 'esthetes us to
tho beauty of breeches t hemselves, as tho
fatal deficiency Is in tho men. It is a sad
fact that the majority of masculine hu
inanity Is subject to Indictment us being
spimllo shanked. It is bad enough to havo
tho suspicion borno in upon our souls
without having It paraded before our eyes
unnn the street.
Tho stockings and kneo breeches of tho
past centuries, idealized by art, look very
imposing, but when a realistic picture of
shrunk shanks is presented tho lesthetio
quality disappears. Trousers huvo served
tho nineteenth century well. They ur the
custom of tho ngo of steam, electricity,
ironclads and newspapers. It is not to
be expected that the twentieth century
will go backward on tho dial of progress
nnd produce a generation that is enslaved
by knoo brooches, garters and shoe uucuics,

tho Americans he found during his visit
to this country in war times: "One of tho
chief members of society ut tho time was
tho British minister, Mr. Fox, a diploma
tist of tho old school. I was told that ono
day as he was leaning against a chimney-
piece in a drawing room, where dancing
was going on, in deep conversation, an
American came and stood just in front of
Mm In n country dance. Sisin the young
man began to show signs of anxiety; his

precision he shot ull tho juice of his quid
