Pet Terrors.

Has it ever struck you that most
everybody has a pet terror" said
student of human nature. "Menwho
would not be afraid on the battlefield
Will faint if cat comes near them. I
know of cases in which men have gone
through life having deadly terror OF
something with which they have never
come in contact. Fer instance, I
know man who lived in New York
City all his life. His ole dread was
that some day he would step on q rat
tlesnake. He confessed to me that
the idea bothered him continually, al
though he had never in his life been
in region where rattlesnakes aboun-
ded and did not have any expectations
OF going to such o place. We all
know that most every person has a
certain kind of nightmare. which at
perturbed moments of life will come
to bother sleep. Whatever form this
nightmare may take, and probably in
the case of no two persons is the form
exactly alike, it invariably exoites the
uncanny, overmastering terror which
is to my mind the most uncomfortable
oppression that may affect the human
spirit. A great many persona will ex-
perience this sensation OF terror if
they happen to be awakened by the
moonlight shining in their faces. The
persistent nightmare with me is one
which l think is remarkable in many
respects. It has come to me in peri
ods Of my life when I have suffered
from high fever, or after have ex-
perienced much mental worry, which
is o species Of fever. As nightmare
which by cumulative stages leads up
TO state OF horror, it is particularly
effective and extremely simple. The
dream begins by an imagination that I
have Wakened in dark room, and
that some vague presence in the dark
is threatening me. I rise in trspida-
tion, and in the dark seek the mantel.
The matches are hard to find; I grope
all over the mantlepiene, over the
washstand, the bureau and finally
when the suspense is becoming almost
UNDESIRABLE, L find the boz. Taking
out match, strike it in feverish
haste. It fickers, and before get it
to the gas jet, goes out. 1 try another
match. The sulphur refuses to give
any light. Another match, and just
as l am about to make the jet, it too,
becomes dark. This goes on, one
match after another. begin to be-
lieve that something in the room in
tends that l shall never have light.
The sensation is maddening, and
when I finally really awake, it is
some time before 1 can shake off the
sensation of terror that has domina-
ted me. New Orleans Times Demo-

MOsby's Long Lost Hat.

Orange N. j., Cor. in New York Sun.
After having laid for fifty years in
o northern home, the campaign hat
worn BY Col. John s. Mos3y, the Con-
federate oavalryman, and lost by him
when he was shot on December 81,
1864, is about to be returned to it's
original owner. For many years it has
been in the possession Of Mrs. David
G. Halsted, who lives at 275 Central
Park, west, Manhattan.
Recently Mrs. Halsted got into oom-
munioation with John Munson, one of
Mosby's old troopers, who now lives
in Park street, Orange. She told him
that she had hat which she believed
belonged to the noted guerilla leader.
Mr.. Munson wrote to his old chief and
has just received reply to the effect
that tho hat in question is undoubt.
edly the one he lost when he was shot.
Mrs. Halsted had already said she
would return it to Mosby, and the
latte. he's authorized NJ. Mnnscn tc
got it for him. He has sent word to
hiss. Halsted that he will present the
ne: to the military museum at Wash.
ington, where it will be placed with
his old coat, as relic.
There is good story of the war
connected with this hat. When Col.
Mosby was shot, he and companion,
Thomas Love, were eating supper at
the house Of q farmer named Lake, ia
Farquier county, Va. A party Of the
Thirteenth New York cavalry on a
raiding expedition rode past the farm
house. and seeing the horses Of tho
two outside, stopped &, inveatigate.
In the sotimmage which followed, !,
Col. Mosby was shot through the. ab.

Simple Experiment to Prove Earth
Round.

Although it was demonstrated more
than 1000 years ago that the earth is
globular in form, there are certain
persons who maintein that it is fat.
About thirty years ago o controversy
on the subject waxed so hot that it
was determined to put the matter to
direct experiment in order to settle
the question once for all.
The place chosen was near Bedford,
England, where there is straight six
mile stretch Of water. at both ends
and in the middle of this water pests
were erected. each Of the same definite
height above the water level. Upon
looking with, . telescope along the
tops of these three posts it was clear
ly seen that the centre one overtoppei
the others by about six feet, owing 30

earth.
These experiments were recently
repested in more specific manner By
H. Y. Oldman. who read paper on
the subject before the Glasgow meet.

same results we're obtained, with the
important difference that by the EN-.
ployment Of a tele-photographio lens
and camera the six foot prominence
Of the middle post was recorded in an
unmistakable manner.

naval warfare is not likely to obtain much support in England, where navy sentiment is reported to be decidedly against it," and that it would be well to wait in any case to ascertain the facts before addressing a remonstration to Russia There has been some very se- were weather along the Asiatic coast since the siege Of Port Arthur began. and it is altogether probable that the mines, said to have been seen afioaI far off the coast, may have been orig inally planted in the harbor channels. The Journal recalls that during our war with Spain the harbor of New York was thickly planted with mines. Some of these were broken loose by the reckless movements Of the lawless little tugs that fit in and out of the harbor and others were detached dur ing stormy veather. They floated out to sea and some of them were observ- ed as far north as the coast of Maine. Fortunately no accident resulted, or at least none was reported. and if there had been it would no doubt have been accepted by public opinion at the time as one of the unavoidab ble casualties Of war.

Senator Stone of Missouri has reviv- ed the old but good story illustraC.ag the differences of pronunciation in diff ferent parts of the country. Tt is re- lated" says the senator, that when the first tide of New England settlers began to drift to Kansas. Missourians tied a COW at each crossing of the Mis- sourl river. If the emigrant said cow he was permitted to cross, but if he pronounced it 'keow' he was told to re- turn to the east. because the natives were satisfied that he was an evil minded abolitionist. The Kansas peo- pie evened up by tying a bear on their side of the river. and if the emigrant said bear he was given the right hand Of fellowship, but if he pronounced it bar he Was given an hour to get back to Missouri. because he was an advo- cate of slavery"

A WYOMING FCRGER
C. C. Lippard, Caught at Tucson, Ex-
 tradited Yesterday.

Sheriff Charles l.. Young of Sweet water county. Wyoming, arrived in tine city yesterday morning with q re- quisition from Governor Richards o' that state upon the governor of this ter ritory for the extradition of Lippard, wanted for forgery The requisition was honored by Acting Governor Nichols. Lippard was lately arrested at Tucson on d telegram from the Wy ming authorities.
 He was a telegraph operator and railroad agent for the Union Pacific at a small station in Sweetwater county. The crime for which he is wanted was the forging of the name of the superin tendent of the division to which he be- longed. to railroad tickets. The tick cts were not regular tickets but were is sued for special purposes. They were sold by Lippard and no report of the transactions was made to the company Lippard is also guilty of embezzlement but there is no mention of that in the warrant for his arrest, the Wyoming authorities believing that that miEnt oe better brought up against him on his return.
 He has not had very long run since fleeing from the country. The war rant for his arrest was sworn out early this month. Within a few days he was located at Tucson.
 Habeas corpus proceedings were be- gun at Tucson for Lippards release but they were continued.
 Sheriff Young hopes that the next fugitive from Wyoming will not come to Arizona at this season of the year. When the sheriff left home there was snow on the ground and more was fall ing. Soon after the sun rose yester- day morning he began scanning the horizon of the Salt River valley in search of snow clouds but there were none anywhere in sight. The sheriff looks like man who has lived well and who has got out of his food all the nu- triment there is in it. He might al- most be called fat. He was able 10 transact business yesterday only while standing in the gale of an electric fan. He left last night for Tucson after Lip bard.

The Question of Floating Mines.

There is so much play for the imagin- ation in discussing the question of floating mines in the high seas, and fireside strategists have drawn so many indictments against Russia for permit ting mines to float away from Port Arthur that some suggestions made by the Army and Navy Journal are worth considering.
