The home is a matter not of income, but of expense, yet it is the most cherished institution on earth. The best things may not be estimated in money, but it does not follow that they are not worth money and more. The child possesses possibilities that cannot be calculated. The tiny hands that clasp and cling to everything tender within their reach have the beginnings of immeasurable power for good or ill. ° The babe’s heart and mind and soul, like the soft, strong tendrils of the vine, cling only to the staunch passions and emotions and impulses that endure, and in clinging cultivate in us those passions and emotions that are better than all the money in the world. And when, in the world’s mad rush after money, a child is run down and mangled, and its life tide ebbs, and the little breath becomes feeble, and the tiny pulse slips away, and at last the precious one is still and dead, and the tense’silence of the home is broken with agonizing cries, then a sorrow is burned into the heart that no lapse of time.can soften or efface. The most treasured possession—onc’s real estate that is Priceless and can never be sold or mortgaged or given away—is a little narrow grave. KISMET Fate cannot be evaded.

This question ie not asked In a spirit of levity. It is suggested by an Interview with Sir Oliver Lodge, whese psychic expériments have convinced him that living persor can make thelr epirits appear to other persona regardless of dis tance. And Sir Oliver is not a hare- brained visionary, but a hard-head- ed scientist and mathematician. In proof of his contention that it is possible to make others see visions of us, appearing like ghosts or phantasms, Sir Oliver cites the case of “S. H. B.” This young man, one night before he went to sleep, after reading of thie mysterious power of the human Will, determined with the whole force of his mind to be present tn spirit in the room of two women | da They knew nothing of his tmuination, At 1 o'clock in the morning both women were awakened by the feel- ing that there was somebody in thi room. Both were awake and saw the apparition, or spirit—the ghost of their friend, dressed in an even- ing sult, walking about the room. The ghost did not speak to them, and seemed to fade away through a a and locked door. Ls Meeting the man a few days ater, the young women spoke of seeing him that night. They had been torribly frightened Several times after that he tried it again, never telling them the jtime when he would make his ghost walk through thelr room, and never giving them a clue in his questioning afterwards, but always they told him of the time they saw jhim in his ghostly form. He could not make hie ghost ap- parent to others, nor could he ap pear before those two women dur ing his working hours. Seldom was the offort tried, for cach time it left the women frightened and prostrate Fach time the man would to appear before the designated time.
