Michael Pbelftn, the Tigtlanl night watchman at tba Plantm’ houac, tclla WWW queer atorienof bla experienore in Irelatt tiefora J»e decided to emirate “f t *nw a bandum. It waamany war . In King's oounty, Ireland about . / mllea from Dublin. During the summer months there the twilight fi ray long. And Into ono afternoon, when thesun had gone down, I happened to walkover to the l * b farm of a «««n named Michael Burns. Well, as we stood and talked, my friend suddenly mid: ‘Mike, do you wont to see a baniheeP Of course I did, and when I looked where he pointed, sure enough, there in $elape, creeping along near the hedge, was a wee bit of a thing not moao than three feet Ugh. It looked like a Uttie girl, only its hair, which was long and yellow, fell down its beck clear to the ground, and as It crept along It whimpered and moaned just like ft child in pain. My friend looked very grave, saying: ‘That’s ft family banshee, and I’m afraid some of my relations are going to be sick.’ > “Pretty soon I left, but not before a neighbor had come riding up and told told my friend to make haste, as his mother lmd been' taken very ill. The next day.I learned that the poor woman bad died before her son reached her. Oh, tbo banshees are queer things, and they never let any ono come near them. Another man I knew came across one sitting in a corn field, near the fence. When he suddenly appeared it ran out of sight among the com, but it dropped its comb from its yellow hair, and tbo man picked it up and put it in his pocket. That night the. banshee came near the house and whined so piteously that the man dropped the comb out of the win dow. The banshee then left, and when a search was made next morning it was found that the 'comb had disappeared, too.”—St. Louis Post-Dispatch. 4 Convict "'Artel*” Convicts travel to Siberia in “artels.** Such artels are provisional associations, formed for tiie sake of convenience. Tho members of an artel have everything in common, and their affairs ore controlled by an elected chief i.n les assistants. Hie chief is called -tu.Through his hands goes fhe lo,s. tho convicts, he is the keeper off tiieir effects and mono}’, he acts as their spokesman before tho authorities and the latter hold him and his assistants responsible for what ever may bo unlawful in the conduct of the members of the artel during the journey. Every artel of convicts has its strict rules mid regulations. It judges and punishes culprits who now and then turn up among them in tho shape of informers, sjjics, etc., and on hoard convict ships and targes, ns well as in thq Siberian transportation prisons, tho finding of dead bodies ‘-under covers” is' a frequent oc currence. To make a ‘‘cover” means in the convict -dialect to choke n man to depth inside £Jio prison walls. The long loose Coat worn by the convicts is gener ally thrown over the head of tho victim •to deaden ’his cries and groans while he w being executed. Spies and informers, that is to say convicts who, to gain special privileges, furnish tho authorities infor mation about tho secret doings and plans of tho artel, are especially hated by the convicts. Later on it will bo seen that they have a good deal to conceal from theauthorities. The artel exerts such a powerful influence on its members that traitoA are a rarity in convict trains.— Michael Malkoff in Chicago News. For The NERVOUS The DEBILITATED The AGED.

The custom of blessing food, or asking a blessing upon meals when eaten, is dying out. Probably the cause of this decadenco of a very charming domestio custom is duo to ft clearer conception of relative values in these days. Tho ques tion is forced' upon people of religious sentiment why food is more to be con sidered blessed than clothes, or books, or a dozen other good things.. „ The result is that sucli religious customs fall away al together. Homo life is certainly none the sweeter, unless some substitute can bo offered. American homo life is too hard and business like. Perhaps the cus tom of the Norwegians to dance on tho green sward after meals would be more to our ■ taste and improvement. Better still probably is thp custom taforo meals of reading from some interesting volume what may bo discussed during meal tlmo and after.—Globe-Democrat. Tho Bald Brad, of Japan. The noble army of bald heads is in creasing in northern Japan. The women ot,tho haricst of ail human races, tho Anios, are fast marrying Japanese hus bands, or sharing their harems, and tho result, ns seen in the half breeds, is a brood that manifests untimely baldness, not only in the cuticle of body and bails, but of' faco and skull. Bald pates will soon be as common in.Yezo, it is feared, . as In American audiences. Tho Anios have for centuries been famous for hav ing more hair and loss brains than any other human beings, nor do they ap proach a Bostonian status of more brains nWd less hair.—Homo Journal.

The splendid por traits which Alfred Stevens lately exhib ited in Brussels were enough'to mnko fashionable people eager • to revive the art. In Paris there is a society of pastel painters. One of the members, 31. La- coze, has discovered a process by which permanency is insured to tho colors, and It lias received the official approval of tho society. Hitherto a fixing process lias always diminished tho beauty of tho colors, and hence pastel painting, having to depend on the crayons alone, was re stricted to countries where there are fewer atmospheric changes than in Eng land.—Home JoftrnaL L.
