A CLANKING GHOST.
Awful Kxperlenca of a Chicago Man In a
Missouri Hotel.
"The most diMigrpeatile experience li,
my travels," said tho man from Chi
cago, "whs when I awakened in the
middle of the night in a Missouri hotel
and heard a chain clank in my room. I
don't know whether it is the association
of a clanking rhaiu that makes the

presence, of something living, but I
don't know of a more unpleasant awak

"I aat up in bed, bnt could see notli

as I licurd that weird clunk, oliuik,
clank, accompanied by a strange shuf
fling noise that was quite as mysterious
and bndling. I reached undor my pillow
and drew out my

finishes everybody's sentences.
"Naw, toy whisky flask. I took a

could have seen mo"
"And what hconmo of itf"
"The whisky?"
"No, no, the clanking ghost. "
"Well, I fell off tosloepaftor awhile.
and when I got up in the morning and
investigated, I found out what it was. "
"A mnuiuc?"
"No; I wus the only maniua It was
curled up undor my bed, chain and ull,
and it turnod out to be a pet coon that
the hotel people owned and which had
escaped from its quarters and found its
way to my room, But I wouldn't put in
another night like that for a farm and
wood lot I" St. Louis Kepublio,

Tlin first Coaches.
Ill the fifteenth century couches ap-

or other public ceremonies, tnoro us an
ornament than anything else, if we may
judge from the rltitnsy form of tho ve

noticed as early ns the year nnd
that of Frederirk HI into Frankfort iu
B covered conch in the year 147(5. It is
curious contrast to the rapidity with
which new Inventions bio now Rdopted
that nearly a century elapsed before
the covered carriage was Introduced
into England. Htow, in his Chronicle,
In the year lfiDS mentions the in
troduction in these terms: "This year
Walter llipon made a coach for tho
Eurlu of Kutlnntl, which wus the first
conch (snlth he) that ever wus made in
England. Since to wit, in auuo lfi()4
the suld Walter Ripon made the first
hollow turning coach, with pillers and
arches, for her majestic, being then her
servant.

Bess must have found it a difficult mat
tor to obtain bertha on a ooach for their
cruise on shore. Even her majesty,
though she herself drove to 8t. Paul's
cathedral to return thanks for the de
livery of her kingdom from the Spanish
armuila, was accompanied by the privy
council and her attendants, who rode
on horseback. Bnt by the end of the
reign coaches and carriages became sud

Rprees nt Church Festival.
It is a custom of the country in Ger
many to get drunk at tho consecration
of a new church. This custom has been
regarded as unlovely und nu-ChrlHtiiiu
by many influential Germans of the
new school, most notably by Emperor
William II, but still it remains unre
formed, nud tho comic weeklies do not
tire of depicting tho scenes iu aud out
of tho police court that follow the con
secration sprees and fights. Homo time
ago tho festival of a new church wus
cnlebrutcd ill Uberringullieim, ill the
Rhine country. Iu anticipation of the
usual trudo in exhilarating liquors a
saloou keeper who does business near
the sacred edifice advertised thus in the

believed the drentii of Joun nnd lent
their aid to tho accomplishment of her
miracle,. This help and complicity of
the people she wus to find everywhere
on her road. The king und the nobles
accepted her because nho served their
purpose; the people believed in her and
lent her strength. Thus from tho first
step of her undertaking her situation
was clearly outlined, us it was to be to
tho end to martyrdom. Tho poor peo

a horse and vestments of wnr, nud a
quire, Jean do Metz, won by tho popu

her with a few men. They set out for
Chimin, whero tho court was assembled.
The way was long and beset with
danger, but Joan uphold tho courage of
her companions. "Fear nothing," she
said. "Tbe Lord Ood has chosen my
route; my brothers in puradiso guide
me on the way. " And in safety they ar
rived at Chinon. There new obstacles
arose. It was difficult to obtain access
to the king, jealously guarded from all
outside influence by his favorite, La
Tremoille. But, as in a fuiry tale,
doors were opened, walls fell beforo her
magio, and one evening the young peas
ant entered the great hall where, among
the courtiers, disguised in a modest cos
tume, stood the king, whom she had
never seen. Without hesitation she
walked straight to the king and, fall
ing on her knees, proffered her request
with so much grace and ardor that
Charles VII was moved.
But imposture, witchcraft even, was
suspected, and before a decision wus ar
rived at learned doctors and ecclesias
tics were called on to cxamino her and
scrutinize her conscience. To nil the
subtleties of her examiners she answered
with so much simplicity, so much pro
fundity of good sense, that they were
confounded. "There is more iu the

The bullet shot the horn of a big buck

"So far there have been nearly 900
patents issued for borteshoes," observed
a blacksmith. "Every one of them was
supposed to bave merit A large nom
ber of them were supposed to be of
value for the reason that tbey could be
put on horses by bauds or olasps and
thus save time and the expense of borse
ahoors. Six thousand dollars, therefore,
has been paid into the patent office by
inventors of horseshoes.
"Not one of these inventions was
ever used, and today, as during the
past, horses are shod. The only shoe
that can be put on a borse must be nail
ed on by a blacksmith. There is no royal
road to wealth, and there is no way to
hoe a borse except to nail on the shoe.
This $8,000 is but a small part of the
money paid out in connection with pat

And fox ftrnTs.s plumed with summer, and

Of mandrake flower between.
Deep gold green ferns and moines red and

Mats fur what naked myth's while feet
And cool and calm a cascade far away.
With ever falling beat.

And sunshine splnihes, and great pools of dark.
And many a wild bird s flute.

And shadows blue and brown.

Half roofpd with vines, led by a firefly gleam,

HERALDRY.
One View nf the Shorthand of History
anil Chronology.
Heraldry can make the world a glori
fied world. It is a quarry whore every
one may hew and a sea where every one
may dip his onr, and if heraldry he
came again a fine art she could be onoe
more the bride of history, while art
with her tumult of enthusiasm alone
can deck her fittingly. Without art
heraldry is an uncouth and dead thing;
with art she liveth for every one aud is
truly a science.
Heraldry creates intelligent ourlosity ,.
and stimulates historio imagination.
She awakens Interest In generations .
gone by and should be taught, suys Mr.
Buskin, to tbe young men nnd maidena
of the street and lime, for heraldry
helps to decipher the firrgotten hand
writing on the wnll and the glorious
record of our ancestors' doings ana
strivings and progress and upward
climbing in the long crusndo against
tyrunny und slavery nud ignorance and
intolerance.
That heraldry is tho shorthand of his
tory and chronology seems to be now
allowed, and heraldry, in a sense,
should be the application of tho fine
nrts of sculpture nnd painting to family
history. It is the silent language which
Christendom adopted and developed at
be time of the crusades. In silence and
in hope she spake, through the eye, to
the heart of Christendom, of the noble
deeds of ber children, and she is alto
gether iudispensuble if tho heruldrio al
lusions in Dunte, Chaucer, Spenser,
Shakespeare, Soott, etc, are not to be
entirely lost.
Heraldry bas received the sanction of
oenturies, and a herald of tho trne strain
is neither finicking, fretful nor faulty,
but full of goodly joy and at times even
of pious mirth. And if omo peep and
mutter at abuses, forgetting that the
abuse of anything ia no argument
against its proper use, others see and
learn that heraldry has educational '
value, is to many a race a wayside sac
rament and blazes brood its potent in
fluencenamely, that nothing must fte
done to tarnish the family escutcheon.

It seems that abnormally stout people
bavo their uses in this world as well as.

Artificial Halo or "Sna Dogs.
An experiment which illustrates in a
very curious manner tbe aotual philoso
phy of the formation of baloa or "sun
dogs" has been made by Drs. Brewer
and Dixon and ia explained by them as
follows: Take a solution of alum and '
spread a few drops of it over a pane of '
glass. It will readily cryatalize in
small, flat ootobedrons, soarcely visible
to tbe eye. When this pane of prepared
glass is held between the observer and
the sun, or even a candle (with eyes '
very close to the smooth side of tbe
glass), there will be seen three different
but distinct and beautiful balos, each -at
a different distance from tbe lumi- '
