6 LACKS TRUTH ONLY. COLD FACTS DESTROY AN ENTER- TAINING GHOST STORY. Remlnleceucea or Lord Lytton Which Are More Valuable In Relation Than in Truthfulness —An Alleged Haunted Room Which JDId Mot Exist. \ Romantic Lord Lytton was, but not inperstitious. His death, however, has (revived the story of the yellow boy's room, the ghost chamber said to exist at jKnebworth house, the beautiful ances !tral home of the Lyttons for more than :«00 years. At Mr. W. P. Friths door must the charge be laid of having put the interesting tale in circulation, for we find it first in his engaging volume of "Reminiscences." After relating West jwood's experiences with tho weird wom an of the Maison Blob, the painter sup plements the story by another anecdote of more tragical significance. ! "At Knebworth," he says, "the seat of Lord Lytton, there is a bedchamber called the yeilow boy's room." He then proceeds to relate that during a visit to Knebworth, Lord Castlereagh, while the guest of the grandfather of the late British embassador to Paris, was as signed without a word of warning to the mysterious and haunted room. Feeling Very tired he soon dropped into sleep, "but his uneasy slumbers were troubled and it was not long before he awoke. (What it was which startled him his lord ship never knew, but the sight which met his eyes as he gazed at the still burn ling fire in his room was startling enough. The figure of a boy, with long, yellowish hair streaming'down, sat in front of the fireplace with his back toward the Irish nobleman. As the latter looked, the lad arose, turned toward him, and drawing hack the curtain at the bottom of the bed with one hand, with the other he drew his fingers two or three times across his throat. Of course the impression produced on Castlereagh was decidedly disturbing. Bulwer insisted that he must have been dreaming, but his lord ship declared with emphasis that he saw the figure as distinctly as he saw his host at that moment, and that, far from being asleep, he was wide awake. A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE. j Mr. Frith then adds that Mr. Bulwer did not tell Lord Castlereagh—Byron's "carotid cutting Castlereagh"—that the yellow boy always appeared to any one who was destined to die a violent death and always indicated the manner of it to his victim. A more amusing and less unpleasant incident is told of the same chamber at Knebworth by onr artist author, the subject being a timid, nervous brother painter who spent a night at the poet's lovely and stately retreat in Hertford shire. The father of the author of "Lu cile," Mr. Frith says, confided the de tails of the Castlereagh story to his guest on allotting the yellow boy's room to him, remarking on bidding him good night, "Yon will not be frightened, will you?' "No—o—o," said the painter, with an ashy face. "Well, it is getting late; what do yon say to retiring? Yes, that is your candle. Too warm for a fire in your room. You don't mind? Good night" "The rest of the story shall be told," says Frith, "in my old friend's ■words as nearly as I can remember them. J bad seen," be went on, "the infernal room before dinner, and I thought it looked a ghostly sort of place, and when 1 reached it that night what would I not have given to be back in my own room at homel I looked under the bed, up the great, wide chimney, and had a shock from the sight of my own face in the looking glass. No ghost could be whiter than 1 waa. 1 don't believe in ghosts, you know, but still it was really too bad of Lytton to tell me such things just as I was going to bed, and then to put me in the very placet There was an awful old cabinet. 1 managed to pull open the door and was tugging at the other, when jny candle went out —how, I don't know —somebody seemed to blow it out. 1 cant tell you what became of it; all 1 know is I jumped into bed with my boots on. and lay trembling there for hours, Frith—literally for hours—till sleep took me at last; and never was 1 more thankful than when I awoke and saw the son shining into the yellow boy's room." ■ NO TRUTH IN THE STORY. The circumstantiality with which Mr. Frith tells these short tales must con vince his readers that he is thoroughly satisfied in his Own mind that the inci dents which he carefully describes all happened at Knebworth. And yet, in that respect, he is altogether out in his reckoning. There is no yellow boy's room in that grand old house of the Lyt tons at Knebworth. Lord Castlereagh never spent a night there, nor is it knowu that he ever visited the place in his life. In the autumn of 1884 I spent two or three very agreeable days at Knebworth, tho guest of Lord Lytton, who very kindly showed me everything of interest about his home and its charming surroundings. I thought it strange that the yellow hoy's room—if there really was such a zoom—had not been open to me, aud that the very story associated with it in tho [Frith reminiscences had been kept back. So 1 sent off a hurried note to Owen Meredith, then performing his embassa dorial functions in the gayest capital in .Em-ope, and an early mail brought me these lines: "Paris, Bth Feb'y. 1888. "My Dear Mr. Stewart —I answer your letter of the 12th ulto. in desperate and unavoidable haste. Mr. Fnth's autobiography is all wrong about the story of the 'Yellow Boy.' That story -was told by Sir Walter Scott of Lord Castlereagh, who is said to have seen tbe "Yellow Boy" in some house in Ire land at the time when he was secretary for Ireland, just before the union, and the story went that the apparition then predicted to him the mode of his death. But tho incident certainly did not occur at Knebworth, nor do I think Lord Castlereagh was ever there. Yours very faithfully, Lytton." The Castlereagh story is quite familiar to the readers of Scott and Lockhart's noble biography.—lndependent.

TIIE LOS ANGELES HERALD; FRIDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 12, 1892 A Duty for Every City Woman. The physician who attended tho re cent fatal outbreak of diphtheria in a prominent New York family in his pub lished interview opens up serious possi bilities. He is a specialist in the dis ease, and he is quoted as saying that he often sees a siphon of soltzer standing in a room where he is visiting a patient prostrated with the malady. Such si phon, he declares in substance, unless most carefully and antiseptically cleansed, will convey infection to sub sequent users. And everybody knows what the cleansing of public bottles is apt to be. The same objection has been urged against our present system of traveling milk vessels. So accepted is this that, when typhoid fever specially prevails, physicians frequently urge persons to boil all milk used as well as water. It would be a wise thing if the women of our cities should co-operate to at tempt to reduce the evil. If inspectors visited bottle washing places it is sus pected some valuably unpleasant infor mation might be gained. In the mean time, every housekeeper can make it her conscientious duty to see that the bot tles which daily leave her domain are untainted and wholly clean. This will need inspection, as tho best of maids get careless in a duty oft performed. If there is illness in tho house redouble your vigilance and be rewarded with the reflection that in this respect at least the sin of contributing to your neigh bor's menace does not lie at your door.— Her Point of View in New York Times. Family Criticism. If a man's foes are those of his own household, certainly a woman's severest critics are to be found there also. Few of us realize how surely our words and actions are being weighed and measured by the observers, large and small, who surround us. We are unconscious of the judgments passed, because they are usually silent ones. When they happen to be spoken out instead of only thought we are taken aback and sometimes ap palled at the arraignment and sentence of which we had been entirely unaware. It is the privilege of the family critic to be ruthlessly frank. Politeness is unnecessary, and consideration for the feelings of the condemned one ridicu lously inappropriate. The strictures are given carelessly and freely, and offense at the plain speaking is a contingency never imagined. "It is only Jennie; she always says what she thinks." "No one minds Will; he always speaks out." "One's family, of course, may say anything." And why, pray? Children are the most terrible of fam ily critics. They see so straight. Your "no" to them means "no," and your ."yes," "yes." You cannot deceive them with half truths or by a juggle of words. They cut through your subterfuge and convict you at once. Their straightfor ward simplicity makes you ashamed of your falsehood.—Harper's Bazar. Valuable Deposit. One of the most remarkable of all de posits of silver is at the Broken Hill mines in Australia. At that place the precious metal is found lying in an enor mous lode. It has been suggested by Mr. George Sutherland that this great deposit of silver was left by a large salt lake that has now disappeared, but tracks of whose former existence are clearly to be seen. According to this interesting theory, the salt lake was formed of imprisoned ocean water, a large quantity of which was caught in a basin between ranges of hills when Australia was lifted out of the sea. This water gradually leaked and was evaporated away, leaving de posits of the mineral and other matter that it had held in solution. If this view is correct, the great store of silver at Broken Hill is a rich gift be stowed by the sea upon the land; but man has discovered the precious deposit, and seized it in his capacity of tho lord of the earth.—Youth's Companion. Why a Blue Rose Is Impossible. A florist makes the assertion that a blue rose is among the impossibilities, but, while an explanation of this curi ous fact may be equally impossible, he fails to mention a very interesting law which governs the colorings of all flowers. A knowledge of this law would save many flower growers hours of un availing and foolish hope. The law is simply this: The three colors—red, blue and yellow—never all appear in tho same species of flowers; any two may exist, but never the third. Thus we have the red and yellow roses, but no blue; red and blue verbenas, but no yellow; yel low and blue in the various members of the viola family (as pansies, for in stance), but no red; red and yellow gladolii, but no blue, and so on.—St. Louis Republic. The Pimpernel. The common pimpernel, "poor man's weather glass," has the disadvantage of being a native plant and has been al most completely expelled from our flower gardens in favor of exotics, which are rarer but lack much of being as pretty. The pimpernel is a charming little flower, which opens about 8 in the morning and closes late in the afternoon, but has the remarkable peculiarity of indicating a coming shower by shutting up its petals. For this reason, if for no other, it deserves encouragement, and would, appropriately take the place of some of the ugly tulips and other im ported flowers now so popular.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Invention of the Fire Engine. Toward the close of the Seventeenth century M. Duperrier in Prance, Herr Leupold in Germany and Mr. Newsham in England introduced almost simul taneously fire engines having an air chamber, \vhich rendered the stream of water and uniform. In ad dition to this these engines were equipped with flexible leather hose, in vented by Jan Van der Heide and his brother, and which was first put into practical use in Amsterdam in the year 1672.—Detroit Free Press.
