THE BURTON GHOST.
0 seared. the Intrepid Explorer well
Willed Me DOZ.
Where was there a braver man, 1
geonder, than. Sir Richard Burton?
Once , though, his face paled and his
breath came in gusts. A ghost did it, a
tourse, and this was the manner a it:
Burton was told of a house in London,
quite a poor sort of house, by the way,
which was said to be haunted. "I do
not believe it," replied Burton. Then he
was told that it was a specially terri-
ble kind of ghost, and he said he didn't
believe that either. He would go and
see, To the empty house (the three last
tenants bad been found dead in bed,
and such things get talked about) went
Xurton with a friend and a dog. "come
up with me," said he to his friend, and
1 it his own request the companion
I* locked Burton in the room and took thel
key down with him. "I shall be all
right here; rve got my dog, too," the
great traveler whispered confidently.
ssoweeee, if I ring, get ready to come
up, and should I ring twice—well, come
Sktielar."` '
The friend waited as he was bid. Min -
meet passed like hours. His eyes were
glued on the bell hanging motionless. A
long wait. Full of foreboding, he was
ell the point of breaking the 'conditions
and going up to prospect, when the bell
did. ring. And before he had tackled
the first flight of stairs it pealed otft
again. and- 17p those stairs he rushed,
two and three steps at a time, you may
be stire. To open the door was the
grork of an instant, and then into his
arms reeled Burton, almost dead with
terror. "The place is accursed," he
gasped. "What have you seen?' begged
the friend. Burton's head shook. "No,
me," he cried. "my poor dog's dead.
I'm almost palsied with fright. More
than that, no, no, I cannot tell you!"
Now„ this is quite true, and the house
eves immediately afterward pulled
don. What did Burton see? No one
knows. He is dead now, poor fellow,
and no one ever will. The three tenants
could tell us, hut terror and death came
together tn`them.-London Tatler.
ANCIENT MARINERS.
queer Beliefs They Held About the
Unexplored Ocean.
The landlocked Mediterranean, which
was the only sea knowntothe Romans
and Greeks of twenty Odd centuries
ago, was filled with mysterious terrors,
while the more distant lands bordering
on it were the abodes of wonders and
strange peoples. Gods of monstrous
sbapes ruled the waters, enchanting
Atreus dwelt on the islets and rocks, and
on the dry land beyond were to be
found weird enchantresses, fire breath-
ing beaks, fierce pygmies and dreadful
cannibals. Adventurous voyagers who
got as far as the pillars of Hercules,
now called the strait of Gibraltar,
brought back intelligence that the great
ocean beyond was not navigable. It
was part a the mighty river which
flowed around the fiat earth in an un-
ending stream.
- Tradition says that there was in those
times at Gibraltar a stone pillar 100 cu-
bits high, with a brass statue on it and
EU inscription stating this to be the lim-
it of navigatioes Beyond was a "sea of
darkness," infested with terrors beyond
the power of the imagination to con-
ceive. Occasionally a bold navigator
did, nevertheless, venture outside into
the Atlantic, but was compelled to turn
back very quickly. A whirlwind would
arise and threaten to swamp the vessel,
or, more alarming still, a gigantic hand,
supposed to be that of Satan, would
emerge from the ocean of eternal gloom
and warn back the mariners.
Not merely on these accounts was
the ocean impracticable for ships. It
was reported to be so dense with salt-
ness and so crowded with seaweeds and
huge beasts that headway could not be
naade through it. Even up to the time
Of Columbus such beliefs prevailed,
and his crews were terrified on entering
the Saragossa sea by the weeds and
calms.
Taken. at His Word.
When dealing with black servants in
India, it is necessary to be very careful
in the wording of one's instructions, for
they are sometimes taken very literally.
A. missionary voyaging on a river boat
With primitive accommodation was
rompelled to use a bucket as a wash-
bowl. One morning his boy servant
Was bringing the bucket to his master
evhen he spilled some of it over the lat-
ter' s teet. "Why don't you throw it
rill over me?" said the missionary irri-
tably. "Aha!" exclaimed the boy and
promptly did so.
Concerning Mistletoe.
In "Wild Fruits of the Countryside"
the author gives some interesting in-
formation about mistletoe. As a para-
site it possesses many curious peculiar-
ities, among others the fact that it is
the only plant whose roots refuse to
shoot in the ground. Another point
about mistletoe is that it is supposed
to grow on the oak tree. Mistletoe
rarely grows on oaks. Most of it is
gathered from apple trees.

Th •
, e paving of the r6ad to a very un-
cero.fortable place IS Said to be corn-
pesed of good intentions. Nowhere else
s this material been tried for paving,
•
though it is plentiful enough for almost
any purpose. We •all know people
Whose houses burn when they are
"lust going to" insure„ who lose a cow
or a horse when they are "just going
tni" mend the fence dr close the gate,
who are "just- goingLI to" buy stock
when it goes up like a rocket, who are
"st going to" pay a note when it goes
to protest, who are "just going to" help
a neighbor when he dies, iwho are "just
going to" send some ilowers to a lsick
friend when It proves too late. In fact,
they are "just going to" do things all
their lives, but -never get them started:
4'To be always intending to live a
new life, but never to find time to set
about it," says Tillotson, "is as if a
tlIftn should put off ea Ing and drinking
til he ds starved to eath."
Tinder every clock in a factory at
Cleveland, 0., is th motto, "Do it
new!" Such a motto lived up to by
every one? would spar the world much
treuble. It would add thousands of
gOod deeds to daily happenings, save
!tiny firms from bankruptcy through
b id debts, paint hundreds of pictures
only dreamed of, write books without
nUmber and straighten out half the
tangles of our homplieated social life.
The habit of putting off disagreeable
d ties is responsible fr much needless
u happiness, for these bugbears weigh
o the mind and prevent the satisfied
Istent that comes frail] duty well per-
fdemed. Most tasks promptly under-
telten prove less diffictilt than we antic-
ipeted, and the joy of accomplishment
often compensates for flay hardship ex-
perienced.
bon't get to be known for unfulfilled
god intentions. Good intentions car-
ried out become the good deeds that
make men useful, loved and famous.
D ing things rather than just planning
t em makes all the difference between
s ccess and failure. -Success.

A Hard Hearted People.
Mal piety finds no place in Tibet-
an character. It is no uncommon
this g for a son to turn hin father, when
t. I old for work, out of doors and to
le ve him to perish in the cold. The
superstition that the souls of the dead
cai, if they will, haunt the living
drives their hardened natures to gain
by the exercise of cruelty the promise
of the dying that they will not return
to earth.
As death approached the dying per-
son is asked, "Will you come back or
will you not?" If he replies that he
will, they pull a leather bag over his
head and smother him; if he says he
wi1 not, he is allowed to die in peace.

The African cobra ranges from Egypt
to the Cape of Good Hope. That it was
known in northern Africa thousands of
years ago is shown by its familiar ap-
pearance in Egyptian hieroglyphies.
Near -Cape Colony- it is almost extermi-
nated, and its destruction is much pro-
moted by that curious and valued long
leeled hawk known OS the secretary
bie . Six or seven species of cobra have
been distinguished, tin.' e of which be-
