BANsHEE OR DEATH WRATH.
This Is ons of the Oldest and Most
Respectable Ghosts.

One OF the oldest and most respect.
able types OF ghost Is the banshee,
which may be regarded as near rela.
tive OF the death wrath" inasmuch
as Il gives warning of impending
death by uttering lamentable walls,
says LippIncctts. Some families take
great pride in the possession of such
"spooks" good example of which is
described by Mrs. Levey of Z Castle
terrace, London, who writes: THE
night when my mother lay dying was
one of great pain. At about nine
o'clock there came a fearful wall of a
woman's voice, as II swaying to and
fro past the windows. ] ran to the
window, but no human being could
be there as the room was two flights
up and no houses near, She died at
1920 p. m. My father and family sat
at dinner on the evening of February
4, 1868, when the same fearful cry
or wall filled our house At eight
o'clock next morning my youngest
brother died quite suddenly. The
same thing happened on my fathers
death In 1887: likewise on the death
of my sister in 1889. and on the death
OF another brother in 1890" This
banshee seems to have been rather
out of place In London, such wailing
ghosts (Which are not seen and can
not therefore be properly termed APP
paritions) being especially domesti-
Gated In Ireland. where they are usual
ly associated with dilapidated castles
and an impoverished and long.de-
scended gentry.

Value Of Good Humor.

A thing always to be cultivated is
good humor No prop to trouble has
yet been discovered the equal in
strength Of good nature. 1t is Just as
much an obligation of men TO fight
against depression as 1t is to fight
against oppression. and yet men yield
readily to depression and say they viii
die before they viii submit to oppres-
sion. They begin at the wrong place
with their heroics. Good humor is
the safety valve. II provides a way for
unnecessary and harmful steam,
which, If confined. may result in a
Fuinous explosion. Good humor dwells
in the house Of comfort: 1t waters the
plants. feeds the canary. draws the
curtains to admit the sunlight and at
evening time 1t lights the lamp
