A Physician Healed.
Dr. Geo. Ewing, a practicing physi-
cian of Smith’s Grove, Ky., for over
thirty years, writes his personal ex-
perience with Foley’s Kidney Cure:
“For years I had been greatly bothered
with kidney and bladder trouble and
enlarged prostate gland. I used every-
thing known to the profession without
relief, until I commenced to use Foley's
Kidney Cure. After taking three bot-
tles I was entirely relieved and cured.
I prescribe it now daily in my practice
and heartily recommend its use to all
physicians for such troubles. I have
prescribed it in hundreds of cases with
porter success.” Sold by E. H. To

A GHOST’S POINT
: OF VIEW
“Phew!” gasped the Spectre, collap-
sing into a chair at my bedside, “you
did give me a start.”
“If it comes to that” I replied se-
verely—for the first intimation I had
had of his presence had been the touch
of an icy finger on my forehead while
I was asleep—*“if it comes to that, you
gave me a start; you nearly frighten-
ed me into a fit. I wish you would
learn to be more careful what you do
with your hands.”
The Spectre eyed me doubtfully.
“Do you mean to tell me,” he said,
“that human beings are frightened
when they see ghosts?”
“Did you think they were amused ”
4] always imagined that they took
a purely scientific interest in the mat-
ter. Of course, we are simply terrified
when we see you—"
“what! A ghost is frightened
when he sees a human being?”
“Out of his wits. Did you not know
that? Dear me. Well, well, we live
and learn.”
“But, surely,” I said, interested by
this time, “I should have thought that
you so constantly saw us—”
“Ah, but that is not the case. We
see you as seldom as—apparently—
you see us. Why it is I don’t know.
There are fellows at the club who
could explain it to you. It is some-
thing to do with planes or dimensions
or something. I remember that, be-
cause we were discussing it only the
other evening. Jones—I don’t know
if you have ever met him; tall, hand-
some man with a dagger sticking in
his chest—maintained that there were
no such things as human beings; said
they didn’t exist, don’t you know. He
paid that the cases cited where ghosts
had actually seen them were in reality
pure hysteria. A ghost goes into a
house which he knows is haunted and
naturally he imagines that every
shadow is a human being. Jones is a
thorough sceptic—hard-headed man,
you know; won't believe a thing till
he sees it. Smith, on the other hand—
i think you must have met Smith, or
at any rate heard him. You would
know him by his get-up. He is a
dandy, is Smith. Faultless winding
sheet, chains on his legs and so on;
carries his head in his right hand and
groans.”
“AR”
groans.”
“Yes, I thought you must have done.
He's always practicing; groans bass in
pur choir, you know. Well, Smith
maintained that some of the hundreds
of cases queted must be authentic.
How, for instance, did Jones account
for the haunted room" at Blamis Cas-
Castle?”
‘What was that?’ I asked.
“©h, it was rather a painful affair.
The castle was sald to be haunted, and
a young spectre, who scoffed at the
jdea, offered to walk the night there.
They allowed him to go, stipulating,
however, that directly he saw any-
thing supernatural he should ring the
bell.”
“Qh,” 1 interrupted,
can ring bells?”
“My dear sir,” said the Spectre a
little testily, “we have many limita-
tions, but we can do a simple thing
like that. You might just as well ask,
if a ghost can wind up a night watch
or write a dead letter. Well, at the
stroke of midnight a violent peal was
heard. They rushed to the room, and
there lay the poor young fellow sense-
Jess. Some time after he had emters
ed, it seemed, he had suddenly be-
come aware—how, he could not say—
that he was not alone, and, looking:
round, he saw a man, standing in the
doorway. The apparition advanced
slowly, and, to his unspeakable hor
ror, walked straight through him.
Then he fainted, and knew no more
until he found himself being given
spirits in a spoon by his friends. He
was never quite himself after that.”
“And did that convince Jones?’
“Not a bit. He simply said thst
owing to the stories connected wit
the place it had been hypotically sug-
gested to the young fellow that there
was a human being in that particular
room, and the rest had followed na-
turally. But I know what would set-
tle him.”
“Yes?”
«1f I could bring him here and
show you to him. Could you excuse
me for one minute?”
“Certainly.”
«Then I'll just run and fetch him.”
And he disappeared. I think some-
thing must have gone wrong with the
dimensions, for though I waited long
he never returned, and to this day I
have not seen him again.—Punca.

A Famous Dessert Service.
The famous Sevres dessert service
which is kept in cabinets in the green
drawing room at Windsor, and in
which President Loubet was most in-
terested, is probably worth about £80,-
000. The service Was bought bY
George 1V, when Prince of Wales, for
quite a sum. It passed on his death,
in accordance with his will, to Wil-
liam IV, who generously made it over
to the crown instead of keeping it as
Bis own private property, which he
could have done if so disposed.—

Bees as Messengers.
A French apiculturist has discover-
ed that bees can be trained as mes-
sengers. Some of these winged letter
carriers, with tiny scrolls of closely
‘written paper tied toc their bodies by
means of fine wire, have been known
to travel a distance of four miles dr
more in about twenty minutes. They
have, it seems, an unerring instinct
for their hives, and can find them in
any sort of weather, even when car-
ried to a distance in tightly closed

A Bit of the Tragic History of Old
Fort Phil Kearney.
In the March Tearson’s is the first of
its promised series of articles by Dr.
Cyrus Townsend Brady dealing with
the thrilling and romantic incidents of
Indian wars on our frontier. This first
paper takes up the tragedy of Fort Phil
Kearney, describing General Carring-
ton’s perilous adventures in the estab-
lishment of this Post, which, during its
stormy existence of some two years,
was constantly in peril from attacks of
hostile Indians by whom it was sur-
rounded. The horrors of savage war-
fare. illustrated by the story of the an-
nihilation of the command under Cap-
tain Fetterman that was sent out to
the rescue of a wood train attacked by
Indians less than two miles from the
Fort, are portrayed with the vivid
touch characteristic of Dr. Brady, and
if the rest of the series comes up to the
standard set by this opening chapter
the articles will form a valuable con-
tribution to frontier history.
