Tnlin Ilnsttln' Ohot Story.
Connected with Coutet, John Jtus
kln'n Chnmounix guide, was n story
which Kuskin told mc of n locality in
the valley of Chnmounix, haunted by
n ghost which could only he seen by
children. It was a figure of n woman
who raked the dead leaves, and when
she looked up nt them the children
said they only saw n skull in place of
u face. Kuskin sent to a neighboring
valley for a child who could know
nothing of the legend, and went with
him to the locality which the ghost
was reported, to haunt. Arrived
there, he said to the boy, "What a
lonely place! there is nobody here but
ourselves." "Yes, there is, Bald the
child, "there is a woman there raking
the leaves," pointing in a certain di
rection. "Let us go nearer to her,"
Bald Kuskin, and they walked that
way, when the boy stopped and said
that he did not want to go nearer,
for the woman looked up, and he said
that she had no eyes in her head,
"only holes." W. J. Stillinnii, In At
lantic. A KovI-mmI HcixIIiic
Gen. Uenjnmin F. Tracy, ex-secrc-tnry
of the navy, was once trying n
case in the city court which involved
the liability of a provision dealer for
unwholesome pork. The point of issue
turned upon trichinosis, and the word
was bandied about by counsel and
Kcientillc experts. The most inter
ested auditor was nn old court oillccr
who listened to nil the arguments, es
pecially to those of the general. "Oh,
but that was an instructive spachc,
gineral. Oi knew that pigs were un
hilthy nnimals, but I never knew they
had tricky noses before." Saturday

HE EXAGGERATED.
An Cnfnrttinntc Tendency in Stretch
TliliiK" on the l'nrt ol
Truthful Divine.
Exaggeration Is commonly held to
be the special vice of schoolgirls.
Their orothers, however, are seldom
wholly free from the hnblt, and, in
fact, few of us are really accurate In
speech. Even In old times, when
the line between fnct and fancy was
drawn with more severity than now,
our good Puritan ancestors occasion
ally slipped across it to the wrong
side, snys Youth's Companion.
An anecdote is related of one ex
cellcnt divine whose essential truth
fulness was unquestioned, but whoso
tongue ran Into excesses disturbing to
his congregation. In the fervor of
discourse, his facts had tv way of ex
panding and increasing almost be
yond, recognition, so that he was con
stantly saying things which, viewed
in the after light of cold criticism,
were not true. At last a deputation
was sent to remonstrate with him.
He wns greatly distressed', and
readily promised to exercise more
care in the future; but before long
he erred again, carried away by his
own eloquence, and a second' deputa
tion arrived. Again he promised
amendment, but again after n little
while he backslid, and u third com
mittee was sent.
The good mmi wns thoroughly
shocked and repentant. He admitted
everything.
"I know but too well," he pleaded,
"thnt my besetting sin is exaggera
tion; but nt least it is a failing with
which I struggle. 1 have shed over it
barrels upon barrels of tears!"
Then one deacon laughed' and ono
groaned, and the minister looked in
nocently from one to the other to see
what was amiss.
lie was never remonstrated with
agnin. The congregation had to ad
mit that even a good man may have
nn incorrigible fault.
SWAN SONG OF A CRIMINAL.
X JitimncBL' .11 u rilcr it YVlio Hecttcd
Impromptu Verne n the fo
ment of Hxeetittoti,
A famous Japanese criminal was ex
ecuted the other day In Tokio, says
the London -Mail. He had proudly
avowed himself the author of scores
of murders and hundreds of burglaries.
Yet, like thousands of his countrymen,
he was a minor poet, and even at tho
foot of the gallows he could not re
frain from writing one of the live lino
versclets of which Japanese poetrj" al
most entirely consists.
Just before the bolt was drawn ho
struck nn attitude and repented an
Impromptu, of which the following ia
& prosaic translation:
"fiepentnnco brings not
Kscnpe from tho natural
Howard of 111-dolngs.
Uewnrc, ye that follow,
Lest yo be lll-doerj."
The emperor himself encourages tho
production of these rhynieless trifles,
and every January a competition is
jeld, a theme is fixed, and the emperor
intl the empress and great nobles com
pose each a poem not exceeding 31
syllables. Tlieir brevity often makes
lliem very obscure. Here is an in
stance: "Having had my Well bucket
taken away lly the convolvuli Gift
ivater."
Which being interpreted means that
l girl on going to a well finds that a
sonvolvulus has twined around the
ope, and rather than break it she
joes to a neighbor's well.
