Mr, Wesley spoke directly to the au- thor of the noises, asked what it was, and why it disturbed innocent chil dren, and did not come to him in his study. "I'he next night the noises were as boisterous as ever. Mr. Wesley pulled put a pistol and wal about to tire at/ the place whence the sounds pre od, when the Rev.

Then there followed a knocking, first on one side, then on the other. He went in. to an adjoining room, where was his daughter, Anne, and the noises still continued. He said to her: Adventure With A Spook. "Spirits love darkness. Put out the candle, and perhaps it will speak." She did so, and he asked the mys match for the devil. Go down stairs and it may be when I am left alone it will have courage enough to speak." He then thought something might have happened to his son Samuel, and he said: "If thou art the spirit of my son Samuel, 1 pray thee ' knock three knocks and no more." No an- swer came, and all was quiet for the night. Nothing more was heard for about a month, when, while at family pray- er, the usual knocks were heard when he prayed for King George, and -a thundering thump at the amen. Noises continued, latches were uplifted, doors flew open, the house shook from top to bottom, the rector"s trencher danced upon the table at a Sunday dinner, beds were uplifted, etc. Several clergymen and others ad vised 'Mr, Wesley to leave the old par sonage. His answer was: "No, let the devil flee from me. I will not flee from him." Mrs. Wesley wrote to one of her sons to have him explain the myster- ious movements. He wrote thus: "My mother sends me to know my thoughts of it, and I cannot think at ' H Ie y eyes all. of mv Interpretation, WAL, = 1 1g, Loe oY re) all: of my. 1 i urglar fancy, might find many, but wisdom at Clerkenwell, who managed to con none, ceal two diamond r while the The attic from which noises came was by Emilia Wesley called "Jef frey's chamber," and the supposed ghost was nicknamed "Old Jeffrey," after an old man. who had died there. The mysterious noises have never been explained, though it is believed by bye some that whoever or whatever caus : ed them came through the dormer } window of the attic, which was easily accessible from the outside, and that the gypsum floor, which reverberates through the house in a remarkable way, had something to do with them. Dr. © Priestly supposes these noises 'were a trick of the sérvants, assisted by neighbors. Influence On Wesley. This is probably the correct explan- ation, 'for "Old Jeffrey' was evidently a stiong partizan and seldom permit. ted Mr. Wesley to pray for the king and the Prince of Wales without dis turbing the family prayers. En Concerning the influence of this sin- gular and unexplained, Shongh not inexplicable. incident of efirey's ghost John Wesley, Tyerman writes: "There can be no question that its influence upon himself was power- ful and important. He took the trou- ble of obtaining minute particulars from his mother, from his four sisters bances, thereby showing tense interest he felt in the affair. In fact, it would seem that, from this period, Wesley was a firm believer in hosts and apparitions. . . . . . . . lt Taylor thinks that the trange Epworth episode so laid open Wesley's faculty of belief that ever af- ter a right of way jor the supernatur- al was opened through his mind; and, to the end of life, there was nothing so marvelous that it could not freely pass where 'Old Jefirey' has passed be- fore it.

His notion that the distur bance. was occasioned by niessenger of Satan, sent to buffet his futher for a rash vow alleged 80 have been made fifteen years before, has been shown to be utterly unfounded, but the impres- sions it produced, or rather strength- ened, respecting invisible realities, were of the utmost consequence in molding his character and in making him one of the most earnest preachers of the Christian creed that ever lived."

The Silver Service at British Quarters in Washington, Writing of the British embassy at Washington, a writer in the October Canadian Magazine cays The pilver service which the British govergmient has furnished for the use of ity) representatives at Washington on the occasion of formal banguets is valued at bfty thousand dollars. The weight of the precious metal in up ward of a thousand pounds, but its chief value lies in the exquisite work manship which appears in full detail on even the smallest piece. The regal arms of the United Kingdom and beautifully traced Howers, birds and vines set off every article. 'I'he centre piece is a masterpiece of the jewelers art. It is on the order of a five branched candelabruy, . with olden leaves shining among silver flowers and enamelled birds. The china and glassware which accompany this sil ver service are valued at twenty five: thousand dollars. Another priceless treasure of the embassy. is found in the great portrait in ol of the late Queen Victoria, of which mention was made earlier in the article. It is a full length picture, and not & portrait of the venerated queen in her declining years, but of a beautiful girl of eigh teen in her coronation robes.
