TWO EXTREMES.
Melancholy People and Those Who Are
Always Exceedingly Happy.

THE man who is continually mel
ancholy and who finds it pleasurable
to be miserable is a.yery curious per-
son, said a man who dislkcs eX-
trcmes to a writer for the New Or
leans Times-Democrat, "but the man
who always looks on the bright eide Of
things, and who is always exceeding
ly happy, is just as bad. just think
of the man who cannot be saddened
There are no dark sides for him, no
disasters, nor anything of that sort;
nothing to make his hcartstrings
yibrate, and he is always happy and a
bright smile is always with him. Ii
Is pleasure TO see a man when he Is
in a pleasant frame of mind, and
II is sorrowful TO see a man when he
is in a state of melancholy, but it
Is in human nature TO be both glad
and sad, and the who is continu-
ally one way is certainly out of the
common run of human beings. ac-
cording to my conclusion. wit
messed a theatrical performance.
Directly behind me was girl who
was as changeable as the wind. When
the play began there were laughable
scenes and she laughed heartily, but
in the course of the drama swords
were drawn, and as some one was
about TO be killed she sighed very
audibly. She was sensitive, and
went into hilarity and grief as the
play went on. Such is human ma
ture, and the one who pretends to
be one way only is certainly very
queer"

STRANGE GRAVEYARD LIGHTS
Will-o'tse-Wisp Badly Frightens Watch.
ers in a Cemetery.


This community, says the Phila-
delphia Ledger, was wrought up to a
high pitch Of excitement by strange
lights which fitted nightly between
the old and new episcopal cemeteries.
Superstitious persons believed them
to be warnings of some impending
calamity. There were residents who
declared that similar lights were seen
just prior to the flood Of 1889 and the
smallpox epidemic Of 1894
On recent Wednesday night Mrs.
Shoemaker, an aged resident, was
returning to her home after spending
the evening with a neighbor, when,
nearing a vault in the old cemetery,
she was startled at seeing a brilliant
red light leave the vault, move slow
~ across the street directly in front
Of her and lose itself in the new Gene
terry. Badly frightened, she made
rapid strides for home. but she had
taken only few steps when she again
saw the same light some distance
away on a hill. This time it was
waved up and down in such manner
as trainmen give signals. Then it
disappeared. Before she was half
way home Mrs. Shoemaker fell and
rolled into the gutter. When regain
ing her feet and senses she saw the
same light apparently hanging in
the middle of the street only a few
feet away from her. Almost frantic,
she ran, screaming, to the house of a
neighbor, where she recounted her
experience. Thinking she was the
victim Of mischievous boys pranks,
her friends paid little attention to
the matter.
Thursday morning the story ofthe
lights flew like wildfre. and before
noon several hundred persons were
visiting the scene. That night three
or four prominent residents stationed
themselves near the cemeteries to
watch for the lights, but were so
badly frightened by a repetition of
the scenes of the previous night that
they forgot what they had assembled
for. The following night and last
night the same antics were witnessed
by hundreds Of persons, who had
gathered from all parts of the town.
but before any attempt could be made
at capture the lights would vanish.
and their source remains a mystery.
Although no grasses or phosphoric
minerals are known to exist in this
locality, ex-Sheriff William Ryan and
other prominent citizens say they
have seen these lights at various
times, and that all former efforts to
gain clue to their origin had proved
futile.

FAMOUS GOODWOOD.
Something About "A Historic English
Race Course.

Something About "A Historic English
Race Course.
The Goodwood race course is quite
unique. 1t is a long way from a sta
ton and is not near any town, says
the London 1atler. 1t is on a hill the
top of which is shaped like a horse
shoe, the space between the two horns
being represented by a deep ravine.
The course runs round the horseshoe,
the start being at the end of one
horn and the finish at the end of the
other. The result of this is that the
equestrians who on other courses con-
trive to see both start and finish by
the simple process of riding across
while the race is in progress cannot
do SO at Goodwood They must elect
which they will see and remain there.
On the other hand, the course is very
easy to follow with glasses.
The races as an institution are COM
paratively modern, but there must
have been hunt races and matches on
this course since the days of William
Ill, when we hear of the GoodwOod
hunt as in existence. In 1900, howev-
er, the then Duke of Richmond made a
new course, which is practically the
present one. In 1901 the course was
completed, and in order to celebrate
this a regular meeting was got up by
the duke with the assistance of the
hunt and some officers of the Sussex
militia and yeomanry, and prizes to the
value of about E1,000 were put up
This meant good sum in those days
This was the first Goodwood meeting
of Importance, and from that year i
became an annual event.

A walking Fern.

Most ferns are confirmed travellers.
New fern leaves grow out from the un-
derground roots some distance away
from the old plant. The average OBJ
server scarcely notices this, but there
is a native fern that steps off at so
lively pace that its odd habit has
long furnished one of the unceasing
entertainments of the woods. The
walking fern often carpets ledges and
tops Of shaded rocks. The slender,
tufted leaf fronds are singularly un-
fernlike in appearance. They squirm
about and walk" by declining their
taper tips to the soil and taking root
there and growing. In time clusters
of new leaf fronds spring from such
rooted tips BY and by some of these,
too, bite the earth and, taking root,
start still other colonies, which in turn
will continue the progress again and
again. Mature ". with the lapse OF
time, the com, ction between the Older
tufts and the younger becomes broken
yet one sometimes finds series of thre,
or four linked together, representing as
many steps in the pretty ramble.-

JAPANESE REGALIA.
Royal EmbIems without Which the
Emperor Could Not Rule.


The japanese royal emblems consist
of a copper mirror, symbolic of knowl-
edge; a steel sword, symbolizing cour-
age, and agate jewels, representing
mercy. The story of their origin was
told thus by a japanese official:
The sun goddess became angry with
the earth and withdrew into a cave,
plunging everything into darkness.
The other deities could not induce her
to come out, so began to make noise
as of great rejoicing, which aroused
the curiosity of the irate goddess. She
finally came to the mouth of the cave
to learn the cause of the uproar and
was told that they had found a more
beautiful goddess than herself. The
sun goddess came out then, demand
ing to see her rival, and the crafty del
ties held the mirror before her, which
drove all her sulkiness away.
The sword was taken by SusenOO,
the brother of the sun goddess. from
the tail of an eight headed serpent
that had been annually devouring
beautiful girl. SusenoO placed eight
great tubs of wine in his way and when
he was sleeping killed him and took
the sword as a trophy.
The sword is kept in an apartment
near the imperial bedchamber and
called the Room of the Sword. The
| jewels have also a room to themselves,
and the mirror is in charge of a priest
ess. The regalia have the highest sig
nificance in the eyes of the people, and
it is held that no emperor can possibly
rule without the three virtues which
they represent. He must, moreover
hold the actual tokens. and in the Inn
perial code it is enjoined that on the
death of the sovereign his heir mus
take possession of them.
