IN TIE BAROlC CHAIR.

y. D. Williams Made Poet Laureate OF
Wales For Ono Year.
The unique and impressive ceremony
incident to seating "a man in the bardic
chair took place tho other night in the
congregational tabernacle in Scranton.
Pa. Tho bard SO honored was ]. O.
Williams OF Liverpool, whose burdio
name is "Pedroy. His poem ON Hap
pinoss" was given the prize ut the re-
cent National eisteddfod Of Wales, at
which 20 poets contested.
A peculiar feature Of these Welsh
prize compositions is tho fact that each
piece must have "a different meters and
possess tho true poetic sentiment. Mr..
Williams was successful, but at the time
of his victory he was in this country.
and hence was unable to be placed I'm
the bardic chair with the ceremony
which is attached to this action of the
National eisteddfod. Because OF his
presence IN this country the Welsh lite
ratcnrs of that section resolved to per-
form tho ceremony.
Tho seating Of the bard Ia q beautiful
ceremony. Tho adjutors, three in num-
Dor, declare who the successful competi-
tor Ia, and then tho arch druid selects
two OF the poets present and commands
them to bring forward the successful
bard. He commands the poet to be seat
ed in a magnificent oak chair manufac-
tnred for this purpose. Then the poet is
commanded to rise and the arch druid
unsheathes his sword over the poet S
head, and i'll sonorous voice asks me
multitude three times in succession "if
peace reigns supreme -
The multitude answers in the affirm
alive and the arch druid declares him
the poet laureate of his nation for one
year and one day. Following this cere-
mony each i'll turn congratulated the

Graceful Walking.

1t appears that Newport society girls
have formulated q rule for graceful
walking, which pedestrians will please
copy if they wish to get on in this
world An intelligent writer thus de
scribcs this stop "One Of the cardinal
points, she says, sis that the advanc-
ing foot should be placed long way
ahead Of the other. so as TO make very
long step, almost Il stride, and TO keep
this stride graceful the foot that is left
behind lifts itself to the toe and takes
right angle swing. The toe must always
be set down first, or the body will sink
too heavily at each, like the step of
fat woman. The pointed tccd shoe is
preferred if long enough, as it cuts the
air and lends elasticity to the foot. !"
There! This is uncommon sense, but
tho Newport pedestrian always walks
just that way. Therefore let every girl
who can forsake her wheel long enough
to walk at AL try it. She will feel she
is in tho swim right off, for Miss Amy
Bend and Miss Julia Grant besides half
a dozen other fair ones now doing this
swan step act, are declared to DO "beau-

thus sent can hardly DO deemed de
mand for an explanation, according to
the interpretation given II st the State
department to day, the fact that it WAS
sent confirms the statements published
that MIR. Denby'e long silence was
causing dissatisfaction. On the whole
the answer of the minister shows that
he was dlligent IN tho performance OF
duty, and the explanation of his silence
appears to be that he did not deem
