Miss Isabel Hapgood of New York
told a ghost story that Is strictly up
to date at the last meeting of the Nine
teenth Century Club.
“I should like to know what it all
means," she said. “I live in a board
ing house in which there lived for
some time in one room a man whom
I knew for years. I didn’t like him. I
tell this to eliminate myself from any
connection with the supposed psychic
influences involved.
“He was taken suddenly ill and died.
He was seized with pneumonia and in
twenty-four hours was dead. That
was in November. The room in which
he died was fumigated, papered, paint
ed, refurnished, and in fact in almost
every way renovated thoroughly.
“Some time later a woman came to
live in the house and got that room.
She is not a sentimentalist or a psy
chic or a clairvoyant or a medium 01
a professed believer in spiritualism.
She is just a plain business woman.
“One day In January she came to
me—she happens to sit next to me at
table—and said:
“ ‘Do you know, I believe some one
must have died in the room I occupy?'
“I asked her why, and she replied:
“ ‘Well, my mother, who is dead, has
sometimes appeared to me, and she
never comes except when something
dreadful Is going to happen—a loss
of money or something else bad. But
last night after 1 had gone to bed and
was resting, but hadn’t gone to sleep,
1 suddenly saw a man at the foot of
my bed. 1 thought right away I had
forgotten to lock my door and I got
up. I went to the door and found that
1 had not forgotten. It was locked. The
man had vanished.’
"I asked her to describe the man.
She did so minutely, and every detail
of his appearance answered the des
cription of the former occupant of the
room who had died there, the man I
knew, except one.
” ‘How was he dressed?” I asked.
“ ‘He was in his nightshirt,’ said
she” and at this even the sedate mem
bers of the club laughed.
“Had he appeared to me, I believe
that he would have been clothed other
wise,” said Miss Hapgood, quickly,
“but even to the gray lock she told
his every likeness. Now I would like
to have you explain that.”
Miss Hapgood addressed her request
for information to a lecturer who had
been speaking to the club on the sub
ject of “Progress in Psychical Re
search.” But she didn’t get an expla
nation of the incident she had re
lated.

i SEEK BURIED TREASURE $
S Expedition Soon to Set Out to Explore l«!and In the South ^
J Atlantic Ocean. ^
Another company is being organized
in England for the purpose of search
ing for buried treasure. This time it
is an uninhabited island in the South
Atlantic Ocean, and the treasure said
to be buried there consists of loot
from Peruvian churches valued at
more than five million dollars. Tl^ts
is to be the second treasure-seeking
expedition to this particular island.
Mr. E. F. Knight, the promoter of
the company, made his first attempt to
find the buried loot fifteen years ago,
when he became the repository of se
cret information, together with a plan
relating to the deposit upon an unin
habited island of treasure forming the
loot of Peruvian churches. At that
time Mr. Knight solicited the co-opera
tion of a few young men of good
physique who could each contribute
five hundred dollars toward expenses,
and would take an active part in the
operations both aboard ship and in
unearthing the treasure.
He got so many responses that he
had no difficulty in picking out a most
desirable party of young men to as
sist in the undertaking. The treasure,
when found, was to be evenly divided.
The steam yacht Alert was char
tered, and the adventurers sailed from
Southampton on August, 1889. This
expedition safely reached and explored
the island, but failed to find the hid
den loot. This was because it turned
out that neither the ship nor her
equipment was large enough for the
work to be done, and that the most
favorable season of the year had been
allowed to pass before tne arrival of
the expedition at the romantic "Treas
ure Island.”
For the forthcoming expedition a
larger and better equipped ship is to
be chartered. The island is to be sys
tematically and thoroughly searched
from end to end for the treasure,
which consists of money, gems and
gold and silver ornaments.
The party of 1889 endeavored to find
the loot by laborious digging, but it
is now intended to adopt the more
feasible and common sense method of
boring from the surface downward to
suitable depths and testing.
Every participant in the treasure
hunting party will be young, healthy
and ready to take his share of bard
work. A capital table is to be kept
and served by a capable chef, while
not a few' luxuries, in addition to
wines, spirits and cigars will be ob
tainable as "extras.” Ample fishing
gear will form a part of the yacht's
equipment, and there will also be a
piano. So the treasure seekers are al
ready assured of an enjoyable trip
even if they do not find any buried
treasures.

S' Minister Tells of Cases of an Optimist and a Pessimist Who %

“I used to know a man who had a
habit of carrying odd stones in his
pockets,” said a minister. “He was
a busy man, but in his moments of
leisure he studied mineralogy and be
came a connoisseur on the subject.
“He classified his own collection and
after some years it was examined by
an expert and appraised at a value of
$17,500. He confessed that he had
picked up most of his treasures in
streets and besides paths where others
saw only worthless tnings.
"Recently I traveled abroad with a
young man recently graduated from
a famous university. He expressed
the belief that thi3 country is in the
hands of unscrupulous politicians,
that the government aims to rob its
new possessions, that the churchgoers
are generally hypocrites and that the
capitalist class to which he belongs
by inheritance is deliberately impov
erishing the masses. His allusions to
his own experiences showed that he
was finding what he expected to find.
“In the same traveling party was a
man well past 70. He was full of
hope for the future of his country;
Mexicans Take to Eugtieb.
The progress that the English lan
guage has made in Mexico in the last
few years is remarkable, says Modern
Mexico. It has not been long since
French was easily the second language
of the country, but today it is effect
ually replaced by English. Where a
half-dozen years ago only the larger
establishments of those catering par
ticularly to foreign trade employed
English-speaking clerks, today it is
possible for an American to make his
wants known in his own language in
every store of any importance. The
demand for English newspapers, mag
azines and books among the better
desses throughout the country has in
creased to a notable extent. So much
of the important business transactions
in Mexico today has an international
character, and so many English-speak
ing foreigners are interested in busi
ness concerne of the country that pro
fessional men find the language al
most a necessity in order to secure
their share of a very profitable part of
the business. In the City of Mexico
lie had good stories to tell of com
radeship with men dead and living.
“He smiled to every child he met
and had a kind word for every person
he met. Everywhere men, women and
children were eager to talk with him
and to do him service. When he
reached home he probably said that he
had never met so many agreeable
people nor had so enjoyable a trip.
“Seems to me that each of these two
men found just what he looked for
and that most other folks will have
the same experience. Those who look
for selfish motives and evil purposes
live in a world where they see evi
dnces of corruption everywhere. Those
who expect the best from their fellow
men are always making discoveries
which delight them.
"It is simply the difference between
the mineralogist and his neighbors.
He found something valuable and they
found nothing, because they were not
looking for anything of value and he
was.”—New York Sun.

How to Make a Venetian 111 inti.
Senator Platt of Connecticut was
building a house. He had occasion to
hire a carpenter, who was a plain, un
varnished son of New England.
"You know all about carpenter
work?” asked Senator Platt.
“Yes, sir,” was the reply.
“You can make windows, doors, and
blinds?”
“Oh, yes, sir.”
“How would you make a Venetian
blind?”
The man thought steadily for sev
eral minutes. “I think," he remarked
finally, "that I would punch him in the
eye.”

cured me.” J
Mrs. Anna Martin, 47 Hoyt street,
Brooklyn, N. Y., writes:
“Peruna did so much for me that I
feel It my duty to recommend It to
others who may be similarly afflicted.
About a year ago my health was com
pletely broken down, had backache
dirtiness and irregularities, and life
seemed dark Indeed. IVe had used
Peruna In our home as a tonic and for
colds and catarrh and I decided to try
It for my trouble. In less than three
months I became regular, my pains had
entirely disappeared, and I am now
perfectly well. ’’—Mrs. Anna Martin.
Miss Marie Johnson, 11 Columbia,East,
Detroit, Mich., is Worthy Vice Templar
in Hope Lodge No. fi, Independent Order
Good Templars. Miss Johnson, as so
many other women also have done,
found in Peruna a specific for a severe
case of female weakness. She writes:
“I want to do what 1 can to let the
whole world know what a grand medi
cine Peruna is. For eleven years I suf
fered with female troubles and compli
cations arising therefrom. Doctors
failed to cure me, and I despaired of be
ing helped. Peruna cured me in three
short months. I can hardly believe it
myself, but it is a blessed fact. I am
perfectly well now, and have not had
an ache or pain for months. I want my
suffering sisters to know what Peruna
has done for me.”—Miss Marie Johnson.
Miss Ruth Emerson, 72 Sycamore St.,
Buffalo, N. Y., writes: “I suffered for
two years with irregular and painful
menstruation, and Peruna cured me
within six weeks. 1 cannot tell you
how grateful 1 feel. Any agency which
brings health and strength to the af
flicted is always a welcome friend, and
to-day the market is so filled with use
less and injurious medicines that it is a
pleasure to know of so reliable a rem
edy as you place before the public.”—
Mis. Ruth Emerson.
It is no longer a question as to whether
Peruna can be relied on to cure all such
cases. During the many years in which
Peruna has been put to test in all forms
and stages of acute and chronic catarrh
no one year has put this remedy to
greater test than the past year.
l’eruna is the acknowledged catarrh
remedy of the age. l)r. Hartman, the
compounder of Peruna. has written a
book on the phases of catarrh peculiar to
women, entitled, “Health and lleauty.”
