FUNERAL OF A DRUID
STRANGE DEATH RITES ON A LOFTY
HILLTOP IN WALES.
I m p res* I ve Cere mo n I e* Attending the Final
Diftpoftitlon of the Hotly of the Lute
Leader of the Druid* of Wale*—Hat her
Mixed Service*.
Far away seem the times and the rites
of the Druids; even under the mistletoe
at yuletide—the time of Yowling. Theirs
was one of the most ancient and primi
tive of religions, and its cult is greatly
shrouded in mystery. Yet it is not alto
gether dead. Among the hills of Wales
many strange relics of the past remain.
There may be no “fragments of forgot
ten peoples," but there are legends and
customs and songs and social and reli
gious rites preserved unchanged from the
days of Arthur and Merlin and Taliessin.
There are probably not a few seers who.
liko Glendower, “can summon spirits
from the vasty deep,” though whether 01
not they will come is yet a mooted ques
tion. And as for the Druids, their line is
yet unbroken, and their weird rites are
still celebrated as of old.
The death occurred at Llantrissant ot
Dr. William Price, who held the distin
guished office of archdruid of Wales.
He was something more than 93 years
old and might have passed for one of the
old time bards who perished in King Ed
ward’s reign, so rugged and antique was
his appearance. Six or seven years ago,
it may be remembered, an infant that
had been bom to him in his old age died,
and its body was publicly cremated by
him with Druidical rites. For this he
was arrested and brought to trial. But
after a hot contest in court he was ac
quitted, and a decree was pronounced
from the bench establishing the entire
legality of this form of funeral. Ac
cordingly when Dr. Price himself died
a similar ceremony was enacted without
thought of interference.
The ceremony took place on the sum
mit of a high hill at Caerlan, the very
spot where the body of the infant had
been burned. Several hundred tickets
were issued to the friends and former
patients of Dr. Price, entitling them to
enter the inclosure and witness the burn
ing. The hour first set was noon. But
public curiosity rose to so high a pitch
that, to avoid being overwhelmed by a
mob of sightseers, it was at the last mo
ment decided to change it to 7 o’clock in
the morning. So in the gray light of
that early hour the strange procession
made its way to the hilltop. No mourn
ing garb was to be seen. The closest
friends of the deceased Druid were at
tired in the ancient costumes of the
Welsh people.
i lie body of Dr. Brice was clothed in
the Druidical robes he had worn in life
and was then placed in a coffin of per
forated sheet iron. On the hilltop two
stone walls had been built, four feet
apart, each being about 10 feet long and
4 feet high. A number of iron bars ex
tending from one to the other formed a
rude grating between them, some dis
tance above the ground, and upon these
bars the coffin was placed, the head be
ing toward the east and the feet toward
the west.
A clergyman of the Established church
was present and read the ordinary serv
ice for the dead in Welsh. The vest
ments of the church contrasted as
strangely with the Druidical garb worn
by some of the attendants as did the
words of the prayer book with the
strange rites. Some slight changes were
made in the service, such as the body be
ing “consigned to the flames.”
Then under and over and all around
the coffin was piled a great lot of wood,
perhaps a whole cord of it, and to this
were added several tons of coal. Many
gallons of paraffin oil were thrown upon
it, thoroughly saturating the entire pile.
Then, at about 8 o'clock, two of the
closest friends of the late Druid came
forward from the throng and applied
torches to the wood, one at each end of
the mass. In a moment it was all a rag
ing furnace, and the hill literally flared
like a volcano.
A brisk breeze was blowing, which
fanned the fire and carried the flame and
smoke far into the heavens. For many
miles the strange spectacle was clearly
seen, and thousands of people came flock
ing thither from all parts of Glamor
ganshire. Seven or eight thousand of
them gathered in a ring about the pyre,
as close to it as possible, and watched it
with eager interest all day long.
Some hours after dark that evening
the flames had died down, and there was
only a dull glow from the coals. Then
with long hooks they dragged the coffin
from the furnace, when it was discov
ered that it had been literally burned
through in many places, and when the
lid was uncovered the receptacle was ab
solutely empty without the faintest trace
within of the remains. The coffin was
subsequently conveyed on a bier, fol
lowed by an immense crowd, and de
posited on the couch in the deceased's
residence, where a few days previously
he had breathed his last.—New York
Tribune.
Two Wealthy Girls With No Taste.
Two girls sat awhile ago in opposite
stage boxes at the theater to whose
united wealth the word inconceivable
would almost literally apply. Both were
faintly pretty, of the style that is abso
lutely null without proper dressing. One,
the most decided type of blond, wore
pale blue. The result was simply flat.
The other girl is a brunette and was
dressed in a brown silk (which is the
ugliest and most characterless wear the
mind of man can devise, except in com
bination), and had a wisp of illusion tied
tightly around her neck.—New York Let
ter.

A FRONTIER FARMERS WIFE.
Her f'l-.wleiw Are Many,and Her Pleminret
Are 1'eiv.
The women who live in cities can form
no estimate of the work done day after
day by the f.iriacrks wife on the frontier.
There are no convenient laundries, baker
ies or etores where she could buy the
reaily made articles she is compelled tc
make for herself. It is unceasing work
with her from early sunrise until long
after the hours have grown small at
night. She lights the tires for breakfast.
Nowhere is a man so completely lord
and master as on the farm. His mothei
was a farmer’s wife and lighted the fires
his wife shall do the same. While the
kettle is boiling she does the milking,
and cases are not rare where a farmer'*
wife milks as many as 8 or 10 cows
twice a day. The milk is carried into
the cellar in great heavy pails that
would try a man’s strength, and she re
turns to the work of getting breakfast.
During the progress of the meal she can
not sit back and eat and rest, as many
do, but is kept jumping up and down
waiting on the men folks and children.
It is often a question to strangers whe
visit on the frontier if she ever gets a
chance to eat at all. Then the children
are to be started off to school, and
though the credit of their education falls
to the father it is the mother who does
extra work that they may go. and who
pulls them out of bed ancl starts them
off in time every morning.
The milk is to be strained and put
away, crocks scalded, butter churned,
and the dishes and chamber work still
wait. Dinner and supper and afternoon
work take up her day. Then in tlieii
turns throughout the week there art
washing, ironing, baking every otliei
day, scrubbing, sweeping, sewing and
mending. In harvest time she will have
as many as 14 to cook for and does it all
alone. It is seldom that a farmer feels
that he can afford to hire help in the
kitchen. She has the vegetable garden
to see to. To brighten the dreariness ot
her life she has close to the seldom opened
front door a bed of half starved looking
flowers—old fashioned coxcomb, four
o’clocks, grass pinks and a few otliei
cheerful looking plants that will thrive
under neglect. She makes everything
that her family wears except hats and
shoes. She has no time to think of rest
or self.
It is m most cases her lot to welcome a
new baby every other year, and the only
time when help is employed to assist her
is for a period of two or three weeks
when the little stranger arrives. The
births of the babies are about all that
vary the monotony of her life. Occa
sionally death calls and takes from tier
tired arms a little life and leaves in its
place an added pain in her heart. She is
old and tired out at 30.
When her daughters reach the age at
which they could assist her, the dreary
prospect of a frontier life appalls them,
and they seek employment in town.
Nothing in her house is of late improve
ment. Her washboard is of tiie kind her
mother used, and her chum in its heavy,
clumsy build shows that it belongs to the
same date. Improvement stalks all over
the farm and leaves no trace in the kitch
en. Her pleasures are few. The satis
faction that she is doing her best seems
to be all that rewards her. She is a hero
ine in a calico dress, wrinkled and stoop
shouldered—a woman with a burden
who never complains. Late at night,
when all the members of the family are
in bed, a light will shine out across the
prairie from the family living room. It
is by this light the farmer’s wife is doing
her mending and sewing, and it will
shine out long after the occasional travel
that way has stopped, and no one but
the one who blows it out knows at what
hour the patient burden bearer’s labors
cease.—Baltimore Herald.
Drying Brewers’ Grains.
A special machine has been devised for
effecting the drying of brewers’ grains in
vacuum at a low temperature. “Brew
ers’ grains” are now largely employed
for feeding cows and horses, but the high
nutritive value of the spent grains known
by that name is not generally known.
The dessicated product of the new proc
ess has proved to be of a highly satis
factory character, being free from the
peculiar bitter taste so often possessed
by brewers’ grains and showing on anal
ysis a very high percentage of proteids
and fat producing material.
The advantages claimed for the vac
uum drying process are: The lowest
working expenses with greatest capac
ity, rapid drying at lowest tempera
ture and consequent excellent quality
of the dried grains; no loss of material
or nutritive properties, as the grains ara
not pressed before drying; a clean and
simple process, and the avoidance of
vapor in the drying rooms or vicinity.—
New York Telegram.
Deceptions of Wild Birds.
Falcons, hawks—the largest species
can compress their feathers and look very
slim, if they think it necessary to do so.
As to the owls, they can hump up into
any position they think most suitable. It
is useless to look for these self preserving
traits in any of the family kept in zoo
logical collections, for the birds are so
accustomed to see large numbers of peo
ple passing and repassing, or standing in
front of them, that they treat the whole
matter with perfect indifference. They
know that at a certain time their food
will be brought them, and that they are
otherwise perfectly safe. Then the rap
tores in a wild state have a bloom on
their plumage like the bloom on a bunch
of grapes, which is not often seen when
in captivity.—Cornhill Magazine.
Looking For Bear.
A party of farmers in Wales once set
out in search of a bear which had es
caped from a traveling menagerie and
roamed their lands with considerable
detriment to their live stock. In the
course of their quest one of the farmers,
observing a brown animal of consider*
able size lying apparently asleep under a
tree, discharged his gun at it with fata)
effect. The victim of his zeal, however,
turned out to be a common donkey. The
bear was ultimately tracked.—London
Tit-Bits.
THE HERO OE TODAY.
ELEMENTS OF CHARACTER WHICH
RAISE MAN TO THE FORE.
A Man la Often Judged by the Men He
Admlrea. na la n Nation by the Kind of
Men She Honora—Courage la Not the
Only Quality Requisite In a Hern.
It is a truth which has not yet come to
bo fully realized that much of the char
acter of an individual depends upon his
ideas of heroism. What he admires and
honors is a good test of what he is, or
rather what he longs to be, and his heroes
will always have a strong attractive
force, which will draw him as far as pos
sible into their sphere. Ln all the various
types of the hero one quality remains
forever prominent—courage. The can
nibal who has distinguished himself by
the number of his murders, the robber
chieftain who had held thousands at bay,
the Indian with his belt adorned with
scalps, the duelist who holds his life
cheaper than his fancied honor, have all
in times past been regarded as heroes,
and whatever estimate they now receive
no one denies their courage.
Equally so. the martyr who goes cheer
fully to the stake: the man who braves
obloquy and contempt for truth as he
holds it; he whr> risks his life to save an
other. or devotes it unreservedly to the
good of mankind; one who can bear and
endure, and another who cau daW and
do; all are. ifl turn, heroes to those who
appreciate them, and all are distin
guished by the same element—courage
Whatever be the virtue or the vice; what
ever the cause engaged in: whatever the
motives which govern the life—no one
has ever been made a hero, even in
thought, unless in some way he has shown
strength and bravery. Cowardice and
weakness, pusillanimity and fear, are op
posed in their very essence to all hero
ism. and no merits, however great, can
form a connecting link between them.
The mistake, however, which has long
been made, and which we are only be
ginning to correct, is that courage alone
can make a hero. To some extent we
have given up this notion. Our present
heroes are no longer cannibals or rob
bers or duelists, however courageous
such men may have been. We have
come to adroit that something else must
be united to bravery to create heroism.
And what is that something else? Is it
not some noble purpose outside of self
and its interests. The glad and willing
sacrifice for something higher than
pleasure or interest, comfort or ease,
united to the courage which scorns all
mean temptations and persists in the
truth and right, as far as it is seen, spite
of all obstacles—that is the true heroism
which we are vaguely seeking and be
ginning to appreciate.
The prizefighter may be bold and in
trepid in giving and receiving blows:
but, except to a few like himself, he has
ceased to be a hero, for his purposes are
low and selfish. The suicide may have
the courage to throw away his life, but
he has not that heroic courage which
lives on, enduring, hoping and working,
in spite of all the adverse circumstances
of his lot. The great conquerors of the
world who have plunged their nations
into cruel wars for the sake of their own
glory and aggrandizement were pre-emi
nently the heroes of a past age, but we
are gradually learning that the true hero
of his country is the man who seeks her
best welfare, who defends her rights and
consults her interests, and who for this
great purpose is ready to take praise or
blame, to govern or to forbear, to live or
to die. Our own Washington and Lin
coln were men of this stamp, and we are
justly proud to have them head the list
of our country’s heroes.
Not. however, only in public life and
under the gaze of the multitude do we
find the true hero. In the home and in
the schoolroom, in the office and the
workshop, in the crowded street and
open field, he may be discovered by
those who can appreciate what heroism
really is. Whoever has a high and
worthy purpose at heart, whether of
truth or duty or love, and also has the
strength and courage to work, to sacri
fice and to suffer, if need be, for its sake,
is worthy of the name.
une quietly aenies mmseir pleasure or
comfort or ease for the aged parent or
the sick child. Another gives up cher
ished plana because they would interfere
with the claims of a dependent family.
One faces the displeasure of friends and
society sooner than forsake his principles:
another employs all his power in defense
of the weak and against the oppressor.
Our hero must be strong and brave, but
he must also be magnanimous and un
selfish. not counting the cost, in his great
desire to further his noble purpose.
Such men and women are always
among us, but in the retirement of pri
vate life they are inevitably known but
to a few. Those few, however, should
esteem it their privilege and duty to
honor such true heroism, and to extend
its influence. Especially should the
young be taught to recognize and revere j
it. It should be an important part of
the education of every child to form
within him a true and worthy concep- I
tion of heroism, and to enable him to
recognize it wherever it exists.
Too often his only idea of it is found
in the sensational romance, or in the ex- i
amples around him of men who, for I
praise or glory or gain, will do daring '
deeds and manifest a physical bravery j
often at a fearful cost to their fellow
men. Let ns give him a truer ideal and
aflord him a higher example.—Philadel
phia Ledger.

A Frivolous People.
“I maintain,” said a shrewd observe:
recently, “that the American people art
becoming frivolous.”
When he was asked what evidence h*
could bring to prove his assertion true,
he replied:
“I want no better evidence than theii
indifference to serious public affairs Oui
political system has developed certain de
fects, but no effort is made to get rid oi
them. The people of some of our largest
states submit to ‘boss rule' which they
could crush forever by giving attend
ance at caucus and the polls for three
consecutive years.
“See, too, how a system of frequent
ami prolonged holidays has developed.
We work fewer days and fewer hours in
the day than our fathers or even oui
elder brothers did. Every one seems tc
be forever looking forward to vacation,
like a schoolboy.
“And what do they read? What dc
you read? When you open your papei
in the morning, to what do you turn
first? To the proceedings of congress,
or the great happenings at home 01
abroad? 1 trow not. You look at the
score of the baseball games, or the dis
coveries of reporters relative to the latest
sensational murder, or at some othei
personal stuff about people of whom you
never heard before, and who are dragged
before the public by circumstances in
which the public ought not to have the
smallest interest.”
This is a harsh judgment, but it can
not be denied that there is enough truth
in it to cause us to pause and remembei
with the poet that “life is real, life is
earnest."—Youth’s Companion.
Stealing the Declaration of Independence.
When James Monroe was president
and John Quincy Adams secretary of
state, an ingenious English engraver ol)
tained permission of the two dignitaries
mentioned to take the Declaration of In
dependence and engrave it in lacsimile
on copper. He carried the precious docu
ment to the printing, office of one Petei
Force. When everything was in readi
ness, he placed it upon the imposing
stone and laid a sheet of india paper of
the same size upon it. This india paper
was next moistened with water in which
gum arabic had been dissolved. A heavy
proof roller with a weight hanging from
each end was then rolled several times
over the historic document. When the
india paper was removed from the face
of the instrument, it took with it at least
one-half of the ink used in writing and
signing the document.
The document is less than a century
and a quarter years old, and with proper
care should be almost as legible as it was
on the 5th day of July, 1776. As it is,
only 11 signatures out of the 53 can be
read without a glass, and some of them
have disappeared beyond recall, all or.

ernment which, when they found that
they could not keep the colonies depend

ment which declares our independence.

The Wife of Robert Ronis Stevenson.
Mrs. Robert Louis Stevenson is a port
ly, gray haired woman, who was a grand
mother—and looked it—when she mar
ried this second husband. Her son Lloyd,
who collaborated with Stevenson in the
ghastly tales, “The Wrong Box” and
“The Wrecker,” was a middle aged man
before he began to write. Her only oth
er child is the wife of Joseph Strong, the
artist, and is herself a painter in a small
way. Stevenson has been accused of
thrusting his sisters, his cousins and his
aunts into fiction. Certainly, although
Fanny Stevenson has produced some
creditable work as Mrs. Osborne, she
had no reputation for brilliancy in a very
clever San Francisco set. There she was
introduced solely in the capacity of chap
eron, to sit, smiling, in her black silk
gown, while her gay little daughter sang
French songs or chatted with the bright
Bohemian club men.—New York Times.
Bow Tennyson Decided a Matter.
Here is Tennyson’s own account to Mr.
James Knowles, editor of The Nine
teenth Century, of how he was offered
and accepted the laureateship: “The
night before I was asked to take the
laureateship, which was offered to me
through Prince Albert’s liking for my
‘In Memoriam,’ I dreamed he came to
me and kissed me on the cheek, i said
in my dream, ‘Very kind, but very Ger
man.' In the morning the letter about
the laureateship was brought to me and
laid upon my bed. I thought about it
through the day. but could not make up
my mind whether to take it or refuse it,
and at the last 1 wrote two letters, one
accepting and one declining, and threw
them on the table and settled to decide
which I would send after my dinner and
bottle of port.”
The Letter “R” In Conversation.
The letter "r" has met with almost
as many vicissitudes of late as the un
fortunate British “h.” and the “r,” un
like the "h," is not exempt from danger
in America To be sure, the most ele
gantly soft spoken American does not
pronounce "modern" as if it were writ
ten “mod’n.'- a common pronunciation
among the upper classes of Great Brit
ain. but the “r" suffers a somewhat sim
ilar elision in many words throughout
this latitude, and even the sui>erfluous
‘r” often heard in the New England pro
nunciation of "law” is met with in and
about New York. Curiously enough
most persons who are guilty of this blun
der seem incapable of distinguishing be
tween the correct and the incorrect pro
nunciation in the .siouth of a third per
son.—New York Sun.
Congressional Misters.
It would be interesting to calculate
and valuable to find out just how much
of the people’s time and money ate
wasted in "misters." The representative
Beems to have a deep rooted objection to
being called plain Smith or Brown or
Robinson and insists that he be called
“mister" even if. as is frequently the case,
he does not know why the roll is called.
About two hours a day through a long
session amounts to considerable wear
and tear of the treasury as well as of the
clerk's lung tissue.—Washington Post.
