Some People So Constituted That Thoy See Snpernatural Beings. There is no doubt that a person may apparently see objects and hear words which another person close by cannot see and hear. Such impressions are to be referred not to actually existing objects, but to the action of the sub- ject’s mind. Dr. Abercromby tells us of one patient who could, by directing his attention to an idca, call up to sight the appropriate image or scene, though the thing called up were an object he had never seen but had mere- When meeting a friend in the street he could not be sure whether the appearance was his friend or a spectral illusion till he had tried to touch it and had heard the voice. Goethe saw an exact counterpart of himself advancing toward him, an ex- perience related by Wilkie Collins. Sir Walter Scott relates that soon after the death of Lord Byron he read an account of the deceased poet. ping into the hall immediately after he saw right before him, in a stand- ing posture, the exact representation of his departed friend, whose recollec- tion had been so strongly brought to his imagination. After stopping a mo- ment to note the extraordinary resem- blance he advanced toward it-and the | figure gradually disappeared. Some of the cases narrated by Sir David Brew- ster are particularly instructive. The subject was a lady (Mrs. A.) and her hallucinations were carefully studied by her husband and Sir David. On one occasion she saw her husband, as} she thought, who had gone out half an hour before, standing within two feet of her in the drawing-room. She was astonished to receive no response when she spoke to him. She remem- bered that Sir David had told her to press one eyeball with the finger when the impression of any real object would be doubled. She tried to apply the test, but the figure walked away and disappeared. The simple scien- tific experiment diverted her attention from the creation cf her mind, and this, no longer being in sole possession, could not maintain itself and was dis- solved. Another hallucination took the form of her dead sister-in-law. The figure appeared in a dress which Mrs. A. had never seen, but which had been described to her by a common friend.—Westminster Review. A SPECTER HAND. Ramblings of Ghosts Near an English Palace. The ghosts which are said to fre- quent the precincts of Hamptoy Court : palace are more or less known by rep- utation, but their ramblings-have been promiscuous and uncertain. Great in- terest in their movements has, how- ever, been newly aroused by the strange experience undergone by an artist who, during the past few weeks has been visiting certain rooms of the palace for the purpose of sketching the old Flemish tapestry on the walls. While engaged in the guard watching chamber in broad daylight this gentle- man, Mr. Haynes cf Surbiton, posi- tively asserts that a specter hand, white and delicate und richly jeweled, has persistently {utruded between him and the tapestry. At first he imagined the disturbing element must be one of the many hands so beauti- fully inscribed on the tapestry, but the limb, he says, moved slowly from one stage to another, aud pcinted downward. Mr. Hayes was much agi- tated, and told several friends of this curious visitation. They, not unnat- urally, perhaps, advised him to dis- miss the subject from his mind and re- turn to the chamber and his work. But the hand re-appeared before his start- led eyes; and on the last appearance | of the phantom the artist made a hur- ried sketch of the outstretched hand, the rough outline of which depicts a brilliant marquise ring on the fore- finger. The effect of these continued visits of the supernatural on Mr. Hayes is very visible; he is unnerved, and he has suspended his sketching. These are the plain facts, but there is, it would seem, a weird and historic connection between this hand and the hand of the queen Catherine Howard, one of the wives of King Henry VIII.— Golden Penny. The Five-Clawed Dragon. In China the five-clawed dragon ig the emblem of royalty. Usually. it ig pictured as arising from the sea and clutching at the sun, thus expressing the idea of universal dominion. The Emperor’s person is called the ara- gon’s body, his throne the dragon’s throne. To see the Emperor, a privi- lege aliowed to but few, is to see the dragon's face. The Emperor's crest is a dragon; a dragon appears on the | Chinese flag. The dragon is called “Lung” in China, and symbolizes all that is imposing and powerful. The mass of the people believe in the dra- gon as an actual existence, and waste much time and money in attempting to propitiate the monster. The dragon has been described by Chinese writers as a most fearsome looking monster, and they give it all sorts of extraordi- nary attributes. On step- | year round, and THEY DON’T HURRY. The People of Washington Seem to Be Easy-Going. “The thing that first impresses a visitor to Washington,” said Fred Green, a young St. Louis business man, who is at the Shoreham, “is that nobogy seems in a hurry. People walk leisurely about as if they had all day to reach their destination, or, rather, as if they had no destination in view. The contrast between the deliberation of Washington and the ‘clear the way there’ rush of New York, Chicago, St. Louis, and the other great business centers is most startling. Hypocritical Americans with a tendency toward anglo-mania complain that we have no leisure class in this country, but I believe the citi- zens of Washington come well under that head. If leisure begets culture, as is claimed, Washington would be a cultured city. I suppose it is true that a greater proportion of the pecple of Washington live lives of business and industrial inactivity than any oth- er American city. The beauty of the capital attracts men. of wealth who haye¢ retired, from business and are only seeking a desirable city in which to make their homes. Then again the greater number of office holders have no. need to be in a hurry, and the two classes between them influence soziety and govern its customs. If Thad never visited Washington in the winter and seen that the same conditions then exist, I might be led to suppose it was the extreme heat that made your citizens so loath to moving with haste, but my observation is that the habits of the people are about the same the that deliberateness is one of the distinctive features of the capital. Ward McAllister is » quoted as having said that haste is vulgar. If he was right, Washington is ~ de- eidedly not a vulgar city.”—Washing- ton Post. QUEEN OF HOLLAND. No Friends of Her Own Age in Royal Family. Wilhelmina, the youns queen of Ho!- land, is very pretty, though her beauty threatens in future years to run on somewhat massive lines, Her admiring subjects gaze at her, and then murmur to an acquiescent neighborhood, “Isn't she pretty? The young queen has fine eyes, a clear complexicn and a glorious tinge of rose-pink in her cheeks. Then her hair is the rich brown that painters loye, and there iz plenty of it. Wil- helmiaa has a reputation for dignity, but not long ago she enjoyed herself so much at a court ball, waltzing with the energy of a healthy girl who has temporarily forgotten she is a queen and only remembers she is young and happy, that a coil of her hair fell down and had to be pinned up again by a lady-in-vaiting. This little incident set all tongues wagging. It was exaggerated and commented upon all over Holland with an anxiety only abated by the dis- covery that the quecn’s partner in the dance had been her uncle, her moth- er’s brother, the Prince of Waldeck- Pyrmont. This relative and his wife, who are both still young, are the cnly people with whom Wilhelmina realy fraternizes in a natural jolly way. She has no friends of her own age, and in Holland the royal family is limited to avery small circle. The two or three princes and princesses available are middle-aged, dowdy, and dull. Yet Wilhelmina obviously enjoys her “splendid isloation.” She gave every- one to understand, on her accession, that she liked independence, and. in- tended to preserve it as long as pos- sible. the Fan with Rubbernecks. In front of a five-story Main stroet block there was the usual crowd of passersby. A heavily loaded electric car was just coming along. Suddenly a man rushed out from a store in the block into the middle of the street. Gazing up to the top story, he cried out: “You'll fall, you will certainly fal.” Everybody in sight stopped and gazed into the air. Those who were on the wrong side of the electric car clambered over to the right side to see their share. And there was noth- ing to see. No one was about to fail from the fifth floor; in fact, théte was no one to be seen there. It was all a bluff, and the wicked bluffer hurried away to escape the vengeance of the bluffed.— Worcester Spy. A Remarkable Turk. In the village of Bodra a Turk named Ismall, aged 120 years, is in such good health that he frequently waiks to Bartin, six miles distant, to sell eggs, | He has | for he is a poultry dealer. had ‘thrity-four wives, the last of whom he married recentiy. The bride is 60 years his junior, and the mar- riage was celebrated with much sol- emnity, to the sound of drums; and fifes and volleys of fireams. The whole village was en fete. of the patriarch bridegroom, consisting of 140 sons, grandsons and_great- grandsons. < Effective Bird Laws. From many parts of New England. this summer comes the news that the song birds seem to be more in evi- dence than they have been for many years. An old Rangely guide said re- cently that it was hardly within his | recollection of the past twenty years that the birds had been so aboundant or of so many species as they mhy be seen this year. In the want of any other reason to account for the wel- come change it seems fair to assume that the. New England laws for the protection of insectivorous birds are beginning to have some effect, The wedding pro- | cession included all the male progeny | {demonstrations of a s | orcer } anywkere in 17-119 West Superior Street, Duluth, Silk Skirts, Muslin Underwear and Corsets This is a department large enough to make a good-sized store all by itself.
