Novel Experiences of an American at tho
Hands OF Japancse Women.
Captain Harry McGill, of the steamer

friend from Karatsu, Japan: This Is
not treaty port. and is about one hun
dred miles from Nagasalai. Ihave been
here three days and have aboard over
one thousand tons of Japan coal, and
soon will leave for Melbourne, Aus
tralia. am the only one allowed
ashore here, and then am not allowed
outside of the town or village. 1t is n
most primitive spot, and my vessel is
the seventh that has been here, SO you
can imagine what curiosity l am to
this people. Yesterday went on shore
to sec the agent, who is only resident
here while am loading and has quar-
tiers in 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 1 seated myself on the matted
floor, tailor fashion, which position do
not find comfortable. After some min
utes' conversation with my agent
noticed quite crowd, mostly of the
gentlcr 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 'Mikado' and
Tycoon operas. Later on one damsel
approached me, and, as was clearly
shavcn, suppose the smoothness of my
face excited her curiosity; anyhow, she
astonished me by running her hand all
over my checks and chin and jabbered
away to the others until several fol-
lowed suit. 1t 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. rs did all the Others"

in REGARD TO GHOSTS.

shakespeare believed I'm Thorn. but Did
Not Undcrstand Them.
A writer in the London Quarterly Re-
view dIscourses In IN interesting way
In regard to ghosts and the belief In
them which prevailed some two hun
dred or three hundred years ago in En-
gland, and especially at tho 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-
lievc in them?
Skcptical arguments against the real
ity of ghosts were not unknown to
Shabcspcares contemporaries. lie must
have read them himself in Plutarch's
"Brutus," but We Gun 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 IN age, but
for all time.
What we do say is that the men Of
Shakespearc's agc 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 have 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-
FERROUS as to be supposed to be Of super
natural or preterpatural origin, they
have been found to have their place
under known laws of nature. They
have been ascertained to be, In meta
physical phrase, subjectively, but not
effectively, real. They como not under
the laws of the bodily eyes and of optics,
but under those of the imagination;
and it is imagination which can, and
does, give the brain most of the impress
sions of bodily sight and sound when
ghost is seen.
We say most of these, because among
the distinctions between n real and a
sham-that Is, 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 nuthenti-
Gated ghost stories, of our own times
even, there is an element of unexplained
coincidence which still seems to give
them supernatural appearance; but
these, too, the friends of physical re-
search believe that they shall one day
bring under ordinary natural law.

A TRAITORS ENDING.
The Sunerings of benedict Arnold Durin
His Last DAYS,

The suTerlngs of Bencdict Arnold During
His Last Days.
John Fiskc 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.. Fislec's statement that nil
the family tradition goes to show that
the last years of Benedict Arnold in
London were years of bitter remorsc
and self-rcproach. The great name
which he had so gallantly won and so
wrctchedly lost left him no rcpose by
night or day The iron frame, which
had withstood the fatigucs of SO many
trying battlc-fields and still more trying
marches through the wilderness, broke
down at last under the slow torture of
lost friendships and meritcd 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 Us, broken In spirit
and weary of life, he felt the last mo-
ments coming, he called for this uniform
and put it on, and decorated himself
with the cpaulettcs and sword-knot
which Washington had given him after
the victory of Saratoga "Lct me die"
said he, lin this old uniform in which I
fought my battles May God forgive
me Tor ever putting on any other"
