MUSIC IN WALES.
Melody la the Very Soul and Kernel ot
the Welsh Nature.
Every church and chapel In every
Welsh village and town, according to
the Westminster Review, has its choir,
often numbering sixty, seventy or a
hundred voices, and every choir has its
musical prodigies, leaders of parts,
mayhap, who have never had a lesson

The Baltimore oriole is a prince in a
house of princes, says a writer in

which he belongs is composed of birds
remarkable either for plumage, note,
nest,ej?gs or,habit. Each can claim some
thing curious and original; but the

I have had the good fortune to hear
the greatest oratorios rendered under
the most brilliant conditions that tal
ent and culture could produce in this
the most talented and cultured of all
metropoles, but I have never heard the
majestic roll of the Hallelujah chorus
or the matchless melodies of the
"Elijah" rendered with such soul and
verve and eloquence as by an obscure
"united choir," led bj a worltinTman
in a mining- village among the hills of
Glamorganshire.
Rough, if you will; ruggedly vehe
ment and impetuous, but rough with
the roughness of unpolished genius,
impetuous with the impetuosity of
mountain torrents. The force of it.
the emotional fervor, the richness of
volume, the tone and timbre in it
these are things not to be forgotten.

FEARcD HIS WIFE THE MOST.
The Juror Knew Ills Spouse and There
fore Disobeyed the Court.
On one occasion Judge Andrew Elli
son was trying an important case at
Macon City, and it was desired to rush
'tthroiifh in order to make way for an-
-juic-r cic coming up next morning,
says the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The
court instructed the jury and court of
ficials to return after supper that
night, as it was intended to hold a
night session. At seven o'clock all the
officers, numerous witnesses and the
jury, with one exception, were prompt
ly on hand. Of course, nothing could
be done without the absent juryman.
The minutes ran into hours and still
the prodigal didn't return. At a late
hour court adjourned without having
iccomplished anything. Next morning
sharp at nine o'clock the twelve jury
men were in the box. His honor
scanned the crowd and asked for the
truant. lie was pointed out and the
court ordered him to stand up.
"Mr. , said the judge, address
ing the derelict, "didn't you under
stand the order of the court last night
requiring the jury to be on hand after
jnpper?"
"Yes, your honor," said the juryman,
explaining, "but you see I live quite a
ways out of town and my wife gave me
an order prior to the court's order and
her order was that I shouldn't stay in
town over night. I considered the
matter and concluded it was safer to
risk your honor's displeasure than
her'n, because," he added, earnestly,
"I know her!"
The court looked solemn a moment,
as if weighing some mighty problem,
then a smile started across his face,
and the bar, court oUioers and specta
tors broke out in tumultuous laughter.
The juryman was forgiven; there were
many there who could, perhaps, ap
preciate his position.

hillside sanctuary by a choir of work

some rough-and-ready, unkempt, self

Music, then, we assert, is the very
soul and kernel of the Welsh nature.
A musical ear is the national birth
right. Every Welsh preacher who
migrates to an English church finds
the greatest difficulty in abstaining
from that weird, peculiar intonation
of his sermon which is known as the
hwyl. anil which is often strange and
objectionable to English ears.
Another remarkable and subtle fact
which will be interesting to Englistt
readers and at the mm time signifi
cant of the sensitiveness of the Welsh
musical ear. is that it is positive dis
cord to many among the Welsh congre
gations if the minister, in "giving out''
the first verse of the hymn, does not so
pitch the voice that it shall be in liar,
mony with the key in which the tuns
has preliminarily been played by the
instrumentalist.

orange and black and the orange and
black of the splendid Wt that so
abounded in the new eiit!i' - that,
very naturally, the na'nr "bait more
bird" was suggested anu uas been
borne ever since.
His nest is one of the most wonder
ful examples of bird-weaving in exist
ence. It is made of separate threads,
strings, horsehair or strips of biirk,
closely interwoven into a sort of suck,
and so firmly knit together that it will
bear a weight of twenty or thirty
pounds. In the southern parts of this
bird's range the nest is suspended from
two or three terminal twigs for pro
tection from numerous enemies, such
as snakes, opossums and the like; it
is also made six or seven inches in
depth to prevent the eggs being thrown
out by the high winds. But in the
colder north, where tree-climbing foes
are rare, it is hung, not at the extrem
ity of the branches, but in a cluster of
twigs that affords shelter. It, is much
shallower than when exposed to the
wind, but is very thickly woven and
lined with soft, warm materials. The
oriole's loud, fife-like notes ringinij
from the high tree-tops in the morning
are an ample refutation of the old
theory that melody and bright plum
age ha ve never been bestowed on the
same bird.
VARIETIES OF CURRENCY.
THE ART OF EATING.
A Branch of Education In Which Amer
icans Ar. Woefully Deficient.
"When my children get to the prope
age," said the man who was smoking
briar pipe, "I intend to have thet
taken in hand by some comix-tent per
son and given a thorough instruetioi
in the art of eating, and, further, ii
the science of finding out what to eat
and ordering. "
"What do you mean?" inquired the
nan who sat next to him.
"I mean this: The average American
citizen is woefully deficient in knowl
edge of what ho can get to eat. Hi

a dinner. The great majority of peo

consequence is that when a man goe
into a restaurant for dinner or to i
hotel he gazes helplessly a t the bill oi
fare and sens many things of which he
does not know the component parts.
He dares not order anything that he is
not sure of, for fear of ridicule, and he
falls back on roast beef and mashed
potatoes. The fact is. he doesn't know
anvthing but roast beef. Same way
in a restaurant. When a waiter shoves
a bill of fare under a man's nose nine
times out of ten he will look it over
and then say: 'Gimme a steak and
some fried potatoes.' Now, the man
who does this day a f ter day doesn't
want roast beef. He is sick unto death
of steaks and fried potatoes. He

How the Italbin Ambassador Got Even
with the French Ambassador.
Before the introduction of the tele

used to be far more important person-
i ages than they now are, and great
; rival grandeur existed among them.
On one occasion, says Cassell s Satur
day Journal, a new Italian minister
had arrived at the Spanish capital,
and went en suite to pay his respects
to the reigning sovereign. Arriving
at one of the reception-rooms to the
Dalace, he found it occupied by an im
posing-looking man surrounded by a
fflittenng throng. These ne not un
naturally took to be the king and his
courtiers, and with profound obeisance
introduced himself.
The supposed king received him with
eracious condescension till the doors
opened and an even more magnificent
train ushered in the real king and
showed to the discomfited Italian that
he had been kneeling before his hated
rival, the French ambassador, who
took no pains to conceal his satisfac
tion at the flattering mistake. But
his triumph was not to last, for in the
evening of the same day the king,
with the Italian as his partner, was
playing cards against the French min
ister and a third ambassador, when in
the course of the game the Italian
threw down a card, exclaiming: "That

Paper can be made out of almost
anything that can be pounded to pulp.
Over fifty kinds of bark are employed,
while old sacking or bagging makes a
good article. Paper is made out of
banana- skins, from bean stalks, pea
vines,. eocoanut fiber, clover and timo

weeds and more than one hundred dif
ferent kinds of grass. Paper has been
made from hair, fur and wool, from as

from husks of any and every kind of

THE HOTTEST DESERT.
It Is the Coeapnh and 1. Too Sultry for
Human Existence.
"It is not generally known that the
hottest, most arid desert in the world
is in the United States, but such Is the
fact." said a resident of Kan Diego, to
a representative of the St. Louis Globe
Democrat. "The Cocapah desert is
small, but it is the most dangerous of
anv in the known world.
"Standing upon the mountain range
to the east, looking across the sixty
miles of plain to another mountain
range on the west, with glimpses of
two small lakes midway between, it
does not nrmenr t1"1 it. requires any
extraoruiuury feat of danger or euuur
ance to cross the plain. And this has
caused the loss of many lives. The
sand of that desert is so hot that in a
few miles the shoes will be literally
burned off the traveler's feet, beasts
will be overcome before half the dis
tance is encompassed, and the ad
venturous traveler dies in agony, lit
erally consumed with heat from with
out and thirst within.
"Many have been known to attempt
the journey, and but few have been
known to return. These have gone no
further than the first lake, and, find
ing it salt water, have beaten a retreat
The nearest lake has been reached
often enough to know that it ebbs and
flows with the Gulf of California and
the water is the same, hence it must
be a part of that body, although sep-
THE TOWERS OF SILENCE.
Revolting- Method of the Parfeee of Disposing-
of their ilead
The Parsees will not burn or bury
their dead, because they consider a
dead body impure, and they will not
suffer themselves to defile any of the
elements. They therefore expose
their corpses to vultures, a method re
volting, perhaps, to the imagination,
but one which commends itself to all
those who are acquainted therewith.
And, afterall, one sees nothing but
the quiet, white-robed procession
(white is mourning among the Par
sees) following the bier to the tower
of silence. At the entrance they look
their last on the dead, and the corpse-
bearers a caste of such carry it
within the precincts and lay it down,
to be finally disposed of by the vul
tures which crowd the tower. Mean
while and for three days after the
priests npi' enticti-t T'rnvnri for t'o
departed, for his soul Is supposed not
to leave the world till the fourth day
after death. On the fourth day there
is the Uthanna ceremony, when large
sums of money are given away in mem
ory of the departed. The liturgy in
use is a series of funeral sermons by
Zoroaster. Of superstitions the Par
sees have had more than they retain.
Connected with burial is the popular
conception as to the efficacy of a dog's
gaze after death. Dogs are sacred and
supposed to guide the souls of the dead
to Heaven and to ward off evil spirits;
hence it is customary to lead a dug in
to the chamber of death, that he may
look at the corpse before it is carried
to the tower.
A Lrluf l. eu.ua.
There was an energetic landlady, a
widow, in a large boarding-house in
New Hampshire, and her brother, who
was a widower, joined iu the business
enterprise.
It so happened her first guests were
a young widow and her father, who
had recently buried his second wife.
The associated charities sent out an
agent to investigate a case of distress
in that neighborhood, and it chanced
this was the first house she hit upon.
"Of whom does your family consist?"
she Inquired of the mistress.
"All remnants," was the prompt reply-
Neal How as a I Irnman.
When Neal Dow was chief of the
Portland volunteer fire department,
says the Iioston Globe, some of his
men complained about the strictness
of his discipline. One of them appealed
to the mayor once, saying: "Mr. Dow
is altogether too strict. At the fire
the other night he ordered me to go
between two buildings, and their
walls were likely to full at any
moment I wouldn't go." "And what

VITIATED AIR.
Impurity of the Atm-ispliere of Steam
Heated Uu.ldlugs.
In an Ttielo contributed to the
Philadelphia Record by Dr. F. A. Ad
ams, the inquiry is propounded
whether the immense increase of
steam-heated o&Ua buildings, in which
the great majority of rooms have no
adequate moans for the renewal of the
air to be warmed, may not in a large
measure account for the prevalence of
pneumonia among middlo-aged men.
Many of these buildings, Dr. Adams
says, are admirably constructed to
keep out air, whether cold or not; this
very perfection contributing to their
insalubrity. In these hermetically
sealed office rooms that abound in
business buildings the steam heats the
atmosphere to a delightfully comfort
able degree, and the occupant breathes
and rebreathes . the air during zero
days when an open window cannot be
endured, the effect being to silently
undermine his powers of resistance, so
that when ho goes forth, exchanging
such tropical air for the keen breeze
of unrestricted nature, it happens
that, through some subtle change in
his system which has robbed his lungs
of their power of resistance, their ca
pacity to endure the onset or transi
tion is gone and the subtle poison of
unrenewed air does its deadly work in
the form of pneumonia.

lawyers admitted at the first term of
the supremo court in 1838, says the

of Iowa, still lives at an advanced age
and practices in Dubuque, where he has
resided since 1830. The death of Judge
