THE SIN EATER.
a Curious Funeral Rite Which Formerly
Obtained In Walas - y.

=
Obtained In Wales.
The principaity Of Wales has within
living memory possessed an official
known as the ttsin eater" says Lon
don journal. It was the practice for a
relative-usually woman-to put on
the breast Of a deceased person guam
tity Of bread and cheese and beer, and
the sin eater was sent for to consume
them and to pronounce the everlasting
rest of the departed. It was believed
that in doing this he absolutely ate and
appropriated to himself the sins symbol
lied by the viands, and thereby pre-
vented their disturbing the repose Of
the sinner who had committed them.
Such an arrangement would obviously
leave nothing to be desired on the one
side, but how it worked on the other
we are not told. What was supposed to
be the condition Of this spiritual under
r taker after the ceremony was concluded?
Did his appropriation Of the dead
man s sins imply sort Of moral assimi-
lation of them, answering to his phys
ical assimilation of the bread and
cheese? The question would obviously
be one Of some Importance to a sin eat
or in large practice. If the Responsible
ties OF his profession were as great as
they would appear to have been on this
hypothesis, he would need to retire
from it early and to devote consider
able portion of his closing years to re.
pentance and good works.
Again, it is natural to ask what hap
pened at the decease Of a popular or
fashionable sin eater. Would any one
among his professional brethren under
take to eat his sins, even in the first
flush of satisfaction produced by STEP
ping into his shoes? If so, then, indeed,
has the epithet of "gallant' been right
~ bestowed upon little Wales. 1t is as
though one doctor succeeding to anoth-
er's practice should consent to assume
the moral responsibility for his late col
leagues treatment of all his deceased
patients in addition to his own similar
burdens.
We yield to none in admiration Of the
quiet and homely heroism Of the med
ical profession, but we doubt whether it
would enable them to face such an Or
deal as this. AS to the Welsh practition-
ers to whom we have compared them,
we shrink from pursuing the analysis
further. It is evident that, as in the
schoolboy game Of "conquerors, where
stone which can smash the smasher,
Of, say, 43 other stones takes over all
it's conquests, and becomes itself a
forty fourer,' SO the responsibilities
of these unhappy men might accumulate
at an alarming rate. One hardly dares
to contemplate the internal condition
Of the sin eater of sin eater who had
in life attended long series Of other
sin eaters. The cheese would be almost
converted into Welsh rabbit before he
had got it down.

In the year 1868, Mr.. ]. R. Watkins first began
the manufacture of DR.. Wards Liniment. For
years he struggled along with limited means,
striving with all his powers and at times despair
ing of success, but at last established living,
paying business, and made the name CDR. Wards"
a household word in thousands of homes. Dur
Mr. Watkins little thought that men could be
justice as to undertake to despoil him of his bus
mess, and themselves to attempt to harvest the
fruits of his lifelong labOrs. However, in this
matter, he learned that he was mistaken. In
various parts of the country, sprang up bogus
agents Offering medicines said to be Dr.. Wards or
Gust as good as Dr.. Ward's," .frequently leading
customers into thinking they had the genuine
article. Therefore, in order to protect his bust
ness and the public from being imposed upon,
Mr.. Watkins Bought from Richard Ward, the
world wide right to use his name as trade

same to be registered in the U. S. Patent Office

HORACE AND HIS GARDEN.
The Poet Loved the Country, Yet Moped
When He Was There.

The Poet Loved the Country, Yet Moped
When He Was There.
All his life Horace had wished for a
piece of land which contained a garden,
stream and coppice, and in the Sa-
bine valley he found all three To take
nap after his brief meal on the grass
by the stream was to him that exquisite
combination Of mental and physical ease
which man is foolish to despise because
it is an enjoyment within the reach
Of every other animal as we'll as Of him.
self. Horace clearly considered both his
Sabine farm and his villa at Thur
healthier than the capital, especially in
the autumn, ''When all fathers and
mothers turn pale with fear for their
children. % It may be doubted if Rome
was so exempt from malarial fever at
that time as it is generally thought to
have been. Once, when he had promised
Macenas to be away only five days, he
remained at Thur through all the month
of August, and he begs his "dear
friend,' if he would have him keep
we'll, to let him stay yet longer, and
even pass the winter out Of Rome by the
seaside Che was probably thinking Of
Tarentum). :
Yet was not there a spice Of truth in
the taunt which his servant Davus ad-
dressed to the poet, that when he had
been too long in the country he moped
to death? We are almost invited to sus-
pect that there was ; the town was, after
all, the life Of his life. One may be sure,
by the bye, that the worthy Davus him
self hated seclusion as much as any Ital-
ian savant does today; Thur he may
have endured; there he could gossip
with the servants Of other villas, but at
the Sabine farm with whom could he
have due chiacchiere except with the
steward-another martyr? By immortal
izing the amusing criticism of Davus,
Horace shows that he was the first to OBJ
serve that ''no man was hero to his
valet. ''-Contemporary Review.

Could vindication Of Governor
Campbell be more complet? Gould

more ahject? The Foraker-Cox
journals which have been abusing
Mr.. Campbell so senselessly ever
since he challenged the sincerity
Of Governor Mckinley in his
speecqes are placed in very nn-
rnviahle situation. They are sit
ting in sack cloth and ashes, and
their mingled sense of shame and
stupidity can not be described.
Gov. Campbell has scored a
triumph, If nOta home run. His
statemhnts will he accepted with
out question hereafter in this cam
paign. He has to inush courage to
be bluffed by abuse or the bLaZen
faIsehoods Of II political campaign
even when uttered by Governor
Mckinley. He has the CoX-FOr-
aker crowd on the run and fright
ened out Of their guilty senses. He
has not uttered II word in this cam
paign which is not true.
The sympathies Of the people are
with him in his heroic effort to un-
horse the basest combination ever
formed in Ohio politics to deceive
and plumber The people. His eX-
cuse for the charges of corruption
which he is making is that they are
true. Every day makes it more
evident that Campbell is going to
be elected. His election is ne
cessity to redeem the state from
the guilty and vandal hands now
planning to seize it. The people of
Ohio know Mr.. ampbell. They
know he has integrity and courage.
He had the courage some years
ago to call the Legislature together
to correct abuses in his own party.
He has shown himself as willing to
expose wrong in his own party as
in that of the Republican party.
Governor Mckinley had, few
ago, the most heroic OPP
portunity of this generation to eX-
pose the villainy OF C0Xlsm in Ohio
and drive il into hidinn Obscurity.
He had not the courage to seize
this opportunity, but is now using
his high once to fasten this cor
rupt ring upon the people Of the
state that have so long honorpd
him.
