mu.io tho Kernsl Of welsh Nature.

Music is the very soul and kernel Of
the Welsh nature. A musical ear is the
national birthright. Every Welsh preach
or who migrates to an English church
finds the greatest difficulty in abstaining
from that weird, peculiar information Of
his sermon which is known as the hwyl,
and which - often strange and objection
able to Engliah ears.
A remarkable and subtle fact which
will be interesting to English readers
and ct the same time significant of the
sensitiveness Of the Welsh musical ear
is that it is positive discord to many
among the Wslsh congregations if the
minister. in giving out" the first verse
of the hymn, does not SO pitch his voice
that il shall be in harmony with the key
in which the tune has preliminarily been
played by the instrumentalist. --Wes

A French method Of preserving grapes
IN something very close to their natural
condition has some interest at this sea-
son. Shoots Of the vine, bearing, say,
two punches of sound grapes each, are
placed in bottles or vases filled with wa
ter containing charcoal in solution. The
bottles are then hung along the edges of
notched shelves in dry place. 1t is said
that it the water be renewed from time
to time grapes SO treated will keep in
good condition into April.

Not one, but all.
But while this bill in its principle, if
it has any, is not unprotective, it will be
absolutely SO in practice not only in its
direct reductions but also in it's indirect
reductin sure to come from the change
from specific duties to ad va1orem,
which is a marked feature of the bill
An ad valorem duty, as the name i'm
plies, is one which varies according to
the price. If prices could be exactly de-
tern,ined nothing would seem to be fair
er than an ad valorem duty. But, I'M
fortunately, prices are very much mat
may differ much and rogues much more
Inasmuch as the duty depends on the
price, a cheat on the price is a cheat on
the duty. If piece of.goods is worth So
a yard and the duty is IS per cent the
correct duty is s1.5O. If the price be in
voiced at s. yard and the fraud not
detected the. duty collected becomes 81. IS
yard and the ad valorem, which seems
to be IS per cent, becomes about 20 per
cent, and not only is the government
cheated out Of it's quarter of a dollar,
but the manufacturer is cheated out of
one-fifth of the protection his govern
ment has promised him.
So great have been the objections in
actual American practice to the ad
valorem duties that among the names
which can be cited against it are some of
the most illustrious in American his
tory, Hamilton, Galltin, Crawford, Web
ster, and Van Buren,, with Buchanan
and Daniel Manning Such, too, has
been the experience of all other nations,
and their tariff bills show such an ex-
clusion of ad valorem duties as makes
even the act Of 1850 seem Objectionable
on that very account. That the example
given above of piece Of goods lowered
from sc tosss5 Is reasonable is evident from
this very bill, here an differentiation
has to reach 40 per cent which in this

\ Pleasing Entertainment by tn
Loyal temperance Legion.

a Pleasing Entertainment by the
Loyal temperance Legion.
An enjoyable event in the social life OF
Oak Park was the entertainment given
by the Juvenile Loyal Temperance
Legion at the chapel on Tuesday evening.
The legion was organized less than two
months ago, and numbers about fifty
members. The successful rendering of
the musical and literary programme we'll
illustrates its fourishing condition.
The "Dollies' Drill" given by four little
tots, with the singing by the little ones,
was greatly enjoyed. By request Miss
Beulah Goddard gave the recitation which
won for her the silver medal at the De-
morest contest last Friday evening. Mrs.
Horton gave humorous recitation, MY
JOSIAH" which was received with much
laughter and applause. 1t was followed
by solo by Miss Mamie w. Kimball.
The trio by Misses Maud Coppin, Beulah
Goddard and Ben Fame merited the
enthusiastic applause with which it was
received. But the musical feature OF the
evening was the accOrdeon solo rendered
by Master Joseph Coppin. Although il
was the first appearance of this young
man before the public, he responded
gracefully to an encore and was again re-
called.
1t is the intention of the Loyal Tenn
perance Legion to give entertainments
