WELSH SUPERSTITIONS.
They
Associate Spectral Hounda With
Mountain Storms,
' One of the many cm-ions superstitions
of tlie Welsh peasantry is that of Cron
Anuwu, or "the spirit hounds of the
air." When a storm rages over the
mountains of Wales, the peasant will
tell too that his ear can discern the
howl of the Cron Anuwn mingled with
that of the wind, bnt sufficiently clear
nd distinct to admit of no mistake of
what it is.
These "spirit honnds," he tells yon,
re the spectral dogs which hunt the
onls of the dead, or which foretell, by
their expectant cry, the approaching
death of some person of evil deeds. Few
of those who pretend that they can so
readily distinguish the cry of the soul
banting pack are willing to admit that
they have ever actually seen Cron
Annwn. "for," they say. "who would
linger nntil such specters dawned upon
the sight?" They are described by Fali
esin, and also in the "Mabinogion,"
where it is said tbey are of a clear, shin
ing white, with red ears. The above
seems to be the universal description,
and on that account the anthor of
"Mythology of the Ancient Druids''
gives it as his opinion that they are
really "mystical transformations of
Drnidish priests, wjth their whit robes
and red tiaras. "
In the popular superstitions of Ire
land, where a similar belief in spectral
bounds exists, they are said to be "jet
black, with eyes and teeth of fire. " Old
Con McJiichael, who murdered 80 per
sons in the early part of the fifteenth
century, and who got rid of his victims
by burning their bodies, is said to have
been eaten by spectral dogs "that could
be seen high in the air -awfully rending
and tearing his flash." One of the pecul
iarities of the Cron Annwn, according
to the Rev. Edmund James, is that the
farther away they are the louder their
cries appear, the sound decreasing as they
draw near. Pittsburg Dispatch.
Weighting Silk. .
Eome improvements in the treatment
of silk are noted. Ordinarily silk is
"weighted" by depositing tannate of
tin on the fiber; the material receives a
bath of tannic acid and then another of
tierchloride of tin, a repetition of this
being made nntil an increase of the
weight amounts to from 15 to 20 per
cent, beyond which it is not considered
safe to go in the case of silk intended to
be dyed light shades or to bo bleached.
Recently a German inventor has brought
forward a process in which silica is the
weighting agent. In carrying out this
method three steps are described. First,
the silk, raw or in any stage of manu
facture and either before or after dye
ing, is worked for an hour in a bath of
perchloride of tin; then, after squeezing
and washing, it is worked in a warm
solution of water glass or soluble sili
cate of soda for about an hour, followed
by washing1, having also been previously
passed through a solution of phosphate
of soda. The operation may be repeated
again and again with no- barmfnl effect
on the fiber or on the subsequent dye
ing, and in five operations the silk may
be increased in weight some 100 to 120
per cent The silk is now soaped, and,
if already dyed, is cleared in an emul"
ion of olive oil and acid. New York

A PLAGUE OF PARIS.
Tha Wild Doge of tha Days of tha Rate
of Terror,
So many startling events happened
from day to day during the reign of
terror that the apparition of wild doi
in Paris is commonly overlooked. But
it was quite natural The greater part
ui tbose grandees who fled or went in
to hiding kept dogs, and very few of
them were able to make any arrange
ment for the poor beasts when they left
noma
The dogs, abandoned, took to the
streets, of course, and shortly thoy be
gan to congregate in two packs, one oc
cupying the Champs Elysees aud one
the Bois do Boulogne. Soou they became
a public danger. Carlyle pokes fun at
bauterre, the brewer, who proposed
law that all dogs should be hanged ; he
had not noticed the paragraphs in the
newspapers tolling how people had been
attacked in the Champs Elysees.
At length the situation became really
grave, as is easuy understood when
thousands of starving animals have to
find subsistence in a starving city. Many
of them were wolf hounds and of pow
erful fighting breeds. So in September,
1793,' drastic measures were taken
against the Champs Elysees pack.
Two battalions of the national guard
surrounded the area, leaving a gap to
ward the Rue Royale, while multitudes
of ragamuffins beat the cover. The game
was driven up the Rne Royale to the
Place Royale, where troops made a bat
tue of it, firing volleys. Three days con
secutively this operation was repeated,
and more than 8,000 dead dogs lay in
the place.
A certain Gaspardin received orders
to clear them away, and he, short of
means, applied for the royal equipages.
It was a timely jest, greeted with ap
plause. So M. Gaspardin packed the
dead dogs neck and heels in gilded
coaches as full as they would hold and
made a state procession through delight
ed Paris. Pearson's Weekly.
HIS GRACE'S SUSPENDERS.
Clever Rose by Which Wellington's Auto
graph Was Secure.
It is well kuown that toward the lat
ter years of the Duke of Wellington's
life it was next to impossible to coax or
wheedle his autograph out of him. All
the stratagems used to get a reply from
him to letters failed; he either did not
answer them at all or directed his pri
vate secretary to do so, and thns the fa
mous signature of "Wellington" became
a rarity highly prized by collectors.
Apropos of this Answers tells of a
London lady who had an album gar
nished with the autographs of most of
the great men of the day, bnt wanted
that of the "Great Captain." She men
tioned her distress to a friend, a certain
Mr. H., and a few days after be, to her
great surprise and pleasure, brought her
a note from the hand of the victor of
Waterloo. It ran thus :
"Field Marshal the Duke of Welling
ton never ordered a pair of braces of the
Messrs. Simpkin. If F. M. the Duke of
Wellington had ordered the articles, he
could not forget it F. M. the Duke of
Wellington always pays for his braces."
This was a very odd document for a
lady's albnm, bnt its authenticity was
undoubted, and it therefore found the
best place in the interesting collection.
The way in which this singular note
was elicited was this:
Mr. H. filled np one of the bankruptcy
court forms and signed it, informing
the duke that in winding up the affairs
of Messrs. tsimpkin he (the assignee)
fonnd on their books the sum of 6s. 6d.
due by his grace for a pair of braces,
which he requested the duke would im
mediately pay or have paid. Mr. H. 's
ruse was founded on pure fiction, but it
gaocoeded. - i .
- ' Factory Buildings.
One of the most perplexing prdblems
that the mechanical engineer or the su
perintendent of a manufacturing estab
lishment encounters is the dovetailing
of new buildings upon old ones so as to
Work in harmony with them and at the
same time introduce such improve
ments as may be necessary. Frequently
half a dozen buildings are erected on a
large plot of ground, each building fac
ing in a way that seems most conven
ient at the time and without any particu
lar reference to the others. ... When the
establishment has grown so that the
available ground area must be nearly
covered over with buildings and each
one must, either by shafting or belting,
be connected with its neighbor or with
some central source of power, then the
trouble arising from lack of harmony in
the original structures makes itself felt
in a most aggravating manner. It seems
sometimes as though trouble had been
created on purpose by those who first
erected the shops, so aggravating and
uncompromising do the buildings ap
pear. The moral therefore is that in
putting np a shop it is well to think a
long way ahead and to consider at least
some of the most probable contingencies
of the future. Cassier's Magazine.
One of Field's Pranks.
A story that has been written about
Field concerns the trick he played on
two car loads of Kansas City merchants
who went away one time on an excur
sion. Eacn car was to go by a different
route, and the cars separated at an early
hour in the morning when everybody
was asleep, except Gene Field, who was
along to write np the trip. Just before
the cars parted company he carried all
the shoes from one sleeper into the other
and carefully exchanged them. Then he
took the shoes from the sleeper that had
a double supply and carried them into
the sleeper where nobody had any shoes.
The next morning there was a blue
streak two ways across Kansas. Every
man in both sleepers was miles and
miles away from his own shoes.

FICTION AND MORALS.
HALL CAINE POINTS THE MORAL WAY
, IN THE NOVEL ' V
A Plea For tha "Moral Nude la notion.
Hugo, Tolstoi and Scott the Greatest Not
ellata of This Century Tha Writer's Aim
the Great Test.
Bofore the Nineteenth Centuty club,
in New York, the other evening, Hall
Caine, the novelist, delivered a literary
sermon. His subject was "Mural Re
sponsibility In the Novel and the
Drama," aud his treatment of it was a
plea for liberty of conscience in fiction.
The audience saw before them a man
apparently about 40 years old, of medium
height, rather slender aud with some
thing of a stoop in the shoulders that
suggested years of sedentary occupation.
The tawny hair and beard were the first
things noticed abont the face; then the
tremendous domelike forehead asserted
its pre-eminence. So broad is the novel
ist's forehead that the whole face seems
to slope away from it sharply. The eyes
are well set aud expressive, aud the face,
as a whole, one of extreme sensitiveness
and nervous power. This impression of
nervousness is borne out by the hands,
which are long, fine aud instinct with
constant expressiveness, although uiuk-

mg but lew gestures. His voice was
low, but clear, except at the end of the
evening, when it became a trifle husky.
Mr. Caine read his address. He said in
part:
There are writers who tell us that
such light forms of literature as the
novel and the drama ought to have no
moral responsibility whatever. These
writers are of two classes. First, there
are those who think of a novel as John-
sun denned it in bis dictoinary, A
smooth tale, generally of love.' The
second class are those who think too
meanly of all forms of imaginative
writing to allow either novel or drama
place among the works that have any
thing to do with serious thought or the
real facta of life. But there are other
writers who are so far from wanting the
novel and drama to be a sugar caudy
kind of literature that they are forever
asking the remorseless German ques
tion, 'To what end?' Then there are
those who say the duty of a story teller
is to tell stories, not to preach sermons.
The novel should be no more moral than
story in 'The Arabian Nights.' Art
and morality have nothing to do with
each other. When the novelist or dram
atist presents his characters, he should
stand aside from them; be should disap
pear; he should annihilate himself.
This is the attitude of niuny of the
French anthors at the present moment.
"The general practice of nearly all
the great masters is against this view,
Against the array cf genius on the side
of conscious moral intention we can
mention two names only, but perhaps
they are the greatest names in literature
Shakespeare and Scott Taine calls
them 'the great impartial artists,'
meaning that they are the two great
speakers who were unconscious of an
aim in Bpeaking. And seeing this, that
our highest literary man of the sixteenth
century, as well as our highest literary
man of the nineteenth century, who
both immeasurably beyond all others
commanded the world's ear, had either
nothing to say or preferred to be unin
cumbered by an nlterior aim, the greater
part of writers and readers have con
cluded that in a novel or drama it is
best to say nothing. Carlyle does not
take this view. The John Knox in Car
lyle sees only the Rob Roy in Scott, and
Scott descends as a consequence from
the rank of a great man.
"But there is a greater thing in a
novel or drama than subject, or scene,
or character, and that is motive. It it
here that the master shows his highest
mastery. Motive is to the novel or
drama what the text is to the sermon.
When I speak of motive, J do not mean
moral purpose-. Motive is the silver
thread that holds in line the beads of
art Modern novelists and dramatists
seem to find it bard to combine nnity of
purpose with freedom of invention. The
author of 'Notre Dame' shows masterly
over motive, and so does the author of
'Anna Karaniua. ' These two and these
alone seem to me to realize George
Eliot's ideal of the iutensest realism of
presentation with the highest idealism
of conception, and by virtue of this mas
tery, and not because of any special su
periority in delineating character or de
picting soene, I claim for Victor Hugo
and Count Tolstoi that, with Walter
Scott, they will in the time to come be
recognized as the three greatest novel
ists of the nineteenth century.

touches the magnetic and divine chord

The navigators of tha White river

side is by ferry. There is a crowd ug ev
ery mile or two. Quaint and primitive
some of tbo methods are. Most of the
ferryboats are small, fiat bottomed
oraft, without railings ou the sides or
gates at the ends. At a few of the most
frequented north and south toads a ca
ble has been stretched from the tree topi
high enough to escape the steamboat
chimneys. The boat is attached by
rones, bow aud stern, to a pnlley run

lengthened to give the boat au angling
direction with the stream, the current
slowly carries the load over to the up

ance, however, is in use very sparingly,
Most of the ferrying is done by hand

boat is at the bonk opposite to that

that by a strange perversity the travel
is from the direction necessitating a
trip across and back to collect one fare.
There is time enough to meditate ou
this problem while the ferryman slowly
poles his frail craft along the bank for

Then, as he grasps the sweep and
pulls ont for the other side with much
puffing and perspiration, there is not
time to think of anything else but the

and a current which moan a long, hard
swim if the boat goes amiss. Accidents
