Wounds in the white man will not heal there and no white child may be born. Nor has the sécret of tropical fever been mastered, though Slerra Leone is no longer "the white man's grave." He has some grim stories to tell-- one, which is new, of the haunted castle at Elmina, where no one sleeps without a qualm. It appears that a party of three men and one woman were playing bridge very keenly In the tropical night: "Of a sudden the lady put her hands to her eyes as though dazzled. Asked if anything were the matter she denled anything wrong and continued playing. Then again she clapped her hands to her eyes, gave an exclamation, and fainted dead away." What she had seen she could not or would not say, but the tradition is that a headless woman walks the castle. Nor does Mr. Lethbridge reject the power of native magic.

Their headman said it was "no good place." "One morning a Kroo boy was re- ported dead; a post-mortem revealed no apparent cause of death. Next morning two men had departed this life and again post-mortems revealed nothing. On the third morning four men were dead and there: was. some- thing like a panic." All the men" were at once removed and a fresh batch brought up to be placed In "the same sinister house." They, too, died In the same mysteri- ous way, and'it was decided 'to burn down the hut. "Then something fell to the ground and was seized by the headman-wh shed up to the doctor shouting, 'HerW-be plenty bad thing, sah! Fit to kill A}l men, sah!' He held at arm's length \two human finger bones which, had en tied together with a bit of native twine In the shape of a rough cross." When this ju-ju was disposed of the deaths ceased. The Niger deita is not a place for lonely white men to take mentioned of one "youngster" who did so and "two days later his mutilated corpse was found waterlogged in the sinister mangrove swamp." Norisita place to be buried in: we are told that In digging graves the water is reached and the mourners have to stand upon the coffin to hold it down. -- Bungalow "Ointment." The "sweat" of gas tanks is the ointment of bungalows. A creosote oil which condenses on the inside walls of gas tanks and trickles down is found to make an excellent shingle stain ofl. It penetrates rapidly and dries quickly, and is an excellent sol- vent for stains and preservative for the wood. To the gas companies it is known as holder oll, once almost a nuisance. The color ranges from amber and ruby to ebony. By keeping It reasonably light and clear gas companies are able to sell it to jobbers and wholesalers for from 5 to 10 cents a gallon. The latter sell it to paint and building ma- terial dealers for from 30 to 50 cents a gallon. Goodness knows, says the New York World, for how much they sell it to the public. When painters learn to buy this oll from the local gas company they will find the cost of materials for painting a shingle house only a small fraction eof that for clapboard houses. The Navvy's Mistake. A clergyman was a geologist and al- ways carried his specimens about in a red handkerchief such as navvies use to carry their dinners in. One day as he was going home with it full of specimens he saw a pavvy at 'the top of a well using violent language be- cause the windlass refused to work. "My friend," sald the parsen, "do you know Satan?" "No," replied the man, "but I'll ask my mate. Bill," he cried, "do you know Satan?" : "No!" came the answer from the bottom of the well. - "Why?" "Well, here's a bloke up here wot's got 'is dinner."--London Tit-Bits. If President-Elect Should Dle. If the successful candidate for Presi. dent or vice-president should die be- fore the second Monday in January after an election, the electors would be empowered, under the law, to vote a to their judgment. This con- tingency has never arisen. No Presi- dent-elect has ever died. If a Presi- dent-elect should die between the second Monday in January and in- auguration day the electoral college would pot be reconvened, but the house of representatives would have to bear the responsibility. i walks In the gloaming, an instance is | {orite for amateur hunters, and with | | all outdoor men, has given place to | [the "English Golfer," and the "Dix- | fe," two new models created by the Chief Designer of Semi-ready clothes. ! | The Norfolf lacked the easy grace of | {Its successors, And with these two has come "The Pro" another outdoor | | model for robust men who like dis- | tinctive and graceful garments. | i Each of these three garments are | | shown now in the original 'models | from the Chief Designer's studio by | | George Van Horne, this city. { The suits are four-piece suits for | businesg and play--a pair of golf! | knickers and a pair of trousers of! | the same material. | THREE CHICAGO GIRLS | WALKING TO NEW YORK sms | They Stayed In Kingston on | Thursday Night--Set Out : For Montreal.
