The suAsrings Of Benedict Arnold Dsxi
Lis Last Day.,

The sufsrings Of Benedict Arnold During
His Last Days. =.
John Fislxe tells the old story of Ben-
edict Arnold's treason In an article Of
fascinating interest written for the
Atlantic. What may be new TO many
readers Is Mr.. Fiske's statement that an
the family tradition goes to show that
tho last years Of Benedict Arnold In
London were years Of bitter remoyse
and self-reproach. The great name
which he had so gallsntly won and 90
wretchedly Lost Left him no repose BY
night or day. The iron frame, which
had withstOod the fatigues of so many
trying battle-felds and still more trying
marches through the wilderness, broke
down at last under the slow torture Of
lost friendships and merited disgrace.
In the last sad days in London, In
June, 1901, the family tradition says
that Arnold's mind kept reverting to his
old friendship with Washington. He
had always carefully preserved the
American uniform which he wore ON
the day when he made his escape to the
vulture; and now as, broken In spirit
and weary Of life, he felt the last mo-
ments coming, he called for this uniform
and put 1t Oh, and decorated himself
with the epaulettea and sword-knot
v;hich Washington had given him after
the victory Of Saratoga. LET me die. y
said he, I'm this old uniform In which I
fought my battles May God fQrgiss

INSPECTING A STRANGER.

Novel Experiences oT IN American 1T the
Hands Of Japanese women. ;
Captain Harry Mccall Of the steamer
Lord Bangor, ,writes,. to . Baltimore
friend from Karatsu, Japan:, s.This IL

dred miles from Nagasaaxi. ,fhave Been
here three days and have aboard over
one Thousand tons Of Japan coal, and
soon will leave for Melbourne, Aus
tralia. I am the only one allowed
ashore here, and then I am not allowed
outside Of the town or village. It Is q
most primitive spot, and my vessel Is
the seventh that has been here, 90 you
can imagine what curiosity I am to
this people. Yesterday went on shore
to see the agent, who is only resident
here while am loading and has quar-
ters In q native hut, which is the nearest
approach to hotel this place can boast
Of. Well, as to custom. I had to re-
move my shoes before entering, and
then seated myself on the matted
floor, tailor fashion, which position I do
not find comfortable. After some min
utes' conversation with my agent I
noticed quite crowd, mostly Of the
gentler sex, gazing at me through the
open windows and doors, and when
could not conceal my amusement, any
longer they likewise Uttered and treated
me to salutes and bows, similar TO
those represented In the 'Milsado', and
Tycoon operas. Later on one damsel
approached me, and, as I was cleanly
shaven, I suppose the smoothness Of my
face excited her curiosity; anyhow, she
astonished me by running her hand all
over my cheeks and chin and jabbered
away to the others until several fol-
lowed suit. It did not end here how
ever, for one Of them quietly took pos
session Of my hands and felt them and
pushed my sleeves above the elbow
with much apparent interest to inspect
my arms, a. did al the others"

Hindoo l'olk Lore.

A work ON Hindoo folk lore says that

loses his life by any kind of accident or
by suicide, then he usually goes to he'll.
II he dies naturally on a bed or q roof
he becomes ''bhut," or evil spirit, and
with this belief care Is taken on the ap-
proach Of death to move the person

REMAINS OF A DWARF RACE.
Interesting Discovery Recently XIade In
British Columbia.


British Columbia.
Captain ]. 8. Prescott, according TO
the San Francisco Chronicle, who re-
Gently returned here from Victoria, B.
O., describes an interesting experience
which be had while north. He was in
Victoria - time when considerable
excitement hal been caused by the dis
covery Of anciens human remains in
some mounds. The little hillocks were
dug into and skeletons were brought to
sight by the shovel and pickaxes. The
discovery was made at place called
;Macauley's Point. A workman clear
Ing away what he thought was nat
ural rise In tho ground, touched hard
metallic substance with his pick. On
digging further the objectcame to view.
1t was an iron war weapon shaped like
harpoon, only much shorter and
stouter. Curious characters were etched
in 1t, and their lines had survived
through centuries.
Z One OF the mounds was excayated and
q nat stone was exposed II had been
designed as door to a sepulcher, for on
being raised grave walled on all sides
with tightly cemented stones was seen.
In It was dwarfed body doubled up in
q sitting posture, . custom followed bv
the ancient Indian tribes along the en-
tire Pacific coast. The formation of the
skull was Like that Of Chinese, Tha
body, though small, was that OF an
adult dwarf. Several other graves were
opened, and the occupants Of all Of
them were similar In anatomical CON.
stzuction and size. In many Of the
graves rough hewn utensils, evidently.
.'sed Tor cooking, were found, together
VII. arrow heads known to have been
ased ,'y coast tribes extinct for cent
aries.
At Cadboe,o Bay similar mounds were
wia.. like results. ~.

IN REGARD TO GHOSTS.
Shakespeare Believed In Them. but Did
Not Understand Them.

.. s
Shakespeare believed In Them. but Did
Not Understand Them.
A writer in the London Quarterly Re-
view dlscourses In an interesting way
in regard to ghosts and the belief in
them which prevailed some two hum
drcd or three hundred years ago In En-
gland, and especially at the time when
the Bard Of Avon was writing his mas
terpieces for the tragic stage.
We can not doubt, he says, that
Shakespeare, like his contemporaries,
believed in ghosts, while we do not.
How, then, can we say that he is true
to nature, when he makes Hamlet or
Brutus or Macbeth see ghosts, talk with
them, and thereby in all respects be-
heve in them?
Skeptical arguments against the real
ity Of ghosts were not unknown to
shakespeare contemporaries. He must
have read them himself in Plutarch's
"Brutus," but we can not suppose that
those arguments had more effect on
him than on Brutus himself.
And we can not escape from the diff
Guilty by saying that the superstition
being natural to the poet, and to the
men Of his time, It was natural that he
should make the personages OF his plays
subject to it. For the groundwork Of
all our study Of Shakespeare assumes
that he was not merely Of an age, but
for oil time. fe'+.'
What we do say Is that the men Of
iShalkespeare's age believed In ghosts
because they had seen them, and we for
the same reason disbelieve In them.
We have, like Coleridge, seen too many.
Plenty OF ghosts hav been and still are
seen, but the sight has been verified by
Investigators with habits of mind de-
rived from the practice Of the Baconian
method Of examining facts.
Ghosts have been verified, and, like
many other phenomena once so mys-
iterious as to be supposed to be of super
natural or preternatural origin, they
have been found to have their place
under known laws Of nature. They
have been ascertaincd to be, In meta
physical phrase, subjectively, but not
Collectively, real They como not under
the laws OF the bodily eyes and Of optics,
but under those Of the imagination;
and 1t is Imagination which can, and
does, give the brain most Of the impress
.sions Of bodily sight and sound when a
ghost is seen.
We say most Of these, because among
the distinctions between q real and
sham-that is, q pretended, dressed-up
ghost is this, that the real ghost does
not strike such terror as the sham, nor
does 1t tell its hearers what they did not
know before.
1t is true that In many well authenti-
Gated ghost stories, Of our own times
even, there is an element Of unexplained
coincidence which still seems to give
them supernatural appearances; but
these, too, the friends Of physical re-
search believe that they shall one day
bring under ordinary natural Law.

mon decency ought to permit the publi-
cation Of Objectionable advertisements in
any paper under his control. 1t is un-

to an explanation as to what constitutes
an Objectionable advertisement. Every
one familiar with the newspaper business
understands full well what that term sig

that class Of advertising, no matter how

Florida Rattlesnakes in February.

Our party of six left Bridgeport for
rived at their first stopping place Ode
Leon Springs), the 31st. New ears day
was lovely, bright and warm as a June
day, and we spent the day wandering IN
the pine woods or sitting on the vine clad
porches of the DeSoto hotel. We were
agreeably surprised to find our host and
hostess formerly from Newtown, George
B. Wheeler and his wife Charlotte San
ford, sister of Henry and Frederick San
ford, so we felt among friends at once
and they did all in their power to make
our stay agreeable. The principal at
traction of DeLeon is the boiling spring,
truly one of Natures wonders. The wa
ter is strongly impregnated with sulphur
and soda. The smell of sulphur pervades
the air for quite distance and the water
is so clear that dime can be distinctly
seen on the bottom of the spring, 30 feet
deep. The water is claimed to be excel
lent for rheumatism and many other COM
plants. 1t keeps the same temperature
the year around, about rs degrees, and
bath in mid-Winter in the pool is really a
luxury. One can hardly realize the
amount of water thrown up in q hours :;
said to be many millions of gallons and
it has been going on for centuries, caus-
ing rushing stream, which is quite a
novelty for Florida, where running
streams are practically unknown. 1t has
a home-like sound to our New England
ears. 1t forms Long lake, which the In
dams considered sacred water. Indians
seem to have been numerous in the vicin-
ity of the lake, as arrow heads, pottery
and their remains are often found, we
were told.
But our hunters, A. j. Beardsley and
NJ. A. Brakeman, did not find game plen-
ty, so we soon moved on to DeLand, six
miles below, where they found it abund-
ant and, in a month, brought in about 300
quail, which, of course, has given them
fine sport and made all quite contented,
especially as our invalids have greatly
improved in the dry, healthy air of De
Land. The weather, of late, is very
warm and has thawed out the rattle
snakes, in places, where the game fire.
quents, so that it will soon be dangerous
to hunt. The hunters shot a big one,
which had Is rattles, few days since,
in the hammocks and, since we heard of
the death of man in Florida from a
bite, it makes the ladies of our party
rather nervous. So we expect to move
on soon to St. Augustine and other
places H., DeLand, Florida, Febru-
