Music. Welsh and Basoue.

Having two American friends stop,
ping with us, we brought nice Welsh
girl from Dolgelly one evening to sing
to them the national songs. Miss Madge
Roberts, sweet, pretty young lady and
excellent singer, went over an immense
repertory of Welsh music, and Miss S.,
who is a very scientific musician, made
many remarks on the peculiarities of
the Welsh scale, etc. Suddenly she ex-
claimed: 81 cannot think what music
it is that know that these Welsh tunes
SO much resemble. Stay, it is Basque"
and she proceeded to hum three or four
typical Basque songs. Miss Roberts
and all of us instantly recognized the
similarity of these with the Welsh, es-
pecially the oldest Welsh, songs which
she had been singing.
Miss S. was very much surprised when
told her that Professor Boyd Dawkins
believed in the original identity of the
Basque and pre-Celtic Welsh, a theory
of which she was quite ignorant, so that
her testimony to the similarity of the
national music was entirely spontaneous.
am not musical, and my opinion is
of no value, but there does appear to me
to be in the old Welsh music, as in q
great deal of the Welsh character, dis
tinctly non-Aryan spritelike character
irreducible to the order so dear to the
Saxon soul. The music goes on for a
few bars with even, exaggerated EN-
phasis on time as in a soldiers march
then suddenly, as if tired of it, bound!

jump and never comes back!-LondoI

To STOP A TRAIN.--"It costs Just 70
cents to stop train" says a cOnduc-
tor in the Times-Stdr. "And for that
reason the average commuter train
does not pay running expenses. Take
our line out as far as Sharon, for in
stance. 1t is just 16 miles from the
city an is the 10th stop for commuter
tram. That makes the cost of stop
ping trains 20 cents mile. The aver
age cOmmuter rate is two-thirds of a
cent mile. So you see to pay the
cost of stopping trains alone we must
carry about 100 passengers over every
mile Cincinnati Tmes-S Star.

The act of Governor Buchanan of
Tennessee in committing the death
sentence of Colonel Henry Clay King
to imprisonment for life was an abuse
of the power reposed in the governor.
The murder of Mr.. Poston was brutal
and deliberate, and the law should
have been permitted to take its course.
The question of the advsability of
capital punishment does not enter into
the matter at all. The death penalty
is still provided by the statutes of Ten
nessee, and Colonel King merited the
punishment that the courts had de-
cided should be meted out to him.
The people of Tennessee have the
right to protest against the act of their
governor, but the burning of the gov.
ernOr in eGigy was a small way in
which to express their dissatisfaction

stopped the MIRACLES.

The tomb of Saint Etienne de Muret,
canonized in 1888, in the Abbey of
Grandmond, was so great an offender
on account of the number of miracles
that the religious were completely worn
out by the rush of votaries. The prior
devised, however, a very simple but ef-
fective remedy for this grievance. Be
taking himself to the tomb, he spake as
follows: Servant of God, you preached
to us the delights of solitude and yet
you assemble in our retreat as many
people as if it were a market or fair.
We are sufficiently persuaded of your
sanctity not to be curious about you1
miracles. If, then, you will not leave
off working them, we protest and declare
on high, in virtue of the obedience we
have promised you, that we will un.
earth your bones and throw them into
the river" AS might be expected, the
threat was sufficient, and Saint Etienne
de Muret did no more miracles.-All the
