Modern Fire Worship In Scotland.

Burghead, in Morayshire, is unique
in one respect. II has "the burning Of
the clavie.' This ceremony is gone
through every New Years eve, old
style. 1t is supposed to be relic of fire
worship. There is now only one other
community, it is said, in Britain where
the practice is carried On. The clavie
consists Of half all Archangel tar barrel
fixed on the top of FIR prop about four
feet long. The second half Of the tar
barrel is broken up, put inside and
mixed with tar. A stone must be used
to knock in the nail which connects the
pole and the barrel. The broken bits in
the barrel are then lighted by means Of
burning peat, no such thing as luci-
fer match being allowed.
For over so years the clavie has been
made by the same man, and one partIc-
ular townsman has provided the Give"
peat for 40 years. In the dark winter
night the blazing thing is borne up one
.treet and down another at high speed,
them carried to the "Doorie Hill" in
the middle Of the village. Here the pole
is fixed on a short, strong column, and
the clayie burns out. The women rush
in and picking bits of the now dying
ciavie to keep the witches away" dis
appear into the darkness. - Glasgow

The Cotton Report Reveals Unpre-

Washington Sept. lO.-The cot
ton report of the DepartYet OF
Agriculture for September shows a
decline from the August condition OF
the crop, which was SOL, S 64.2 per
cent, a decline of Is points. ibis
is the lowest September condition re-
port in the last twenty seven years.
The States averages are as follows:
Virginia, so; North Carolina, 10;
South Carolina, u; Georgia, II;
Floride, y; Alabama, C6; Mississip
pi, I'll; Louisiana, 60; Texas, 62;

There has been a general decline
in the condition Of the cotton crop
throughout the cotton belt in the
past month. A few counties and
parishes in Mississippi and louisiana
report fairly good crops, but the
complaint is almost universal that
the excessive heat and dry weather
have caused the plant to shed leaves,
bl ,oms, and bolls, and that, where
rains have fallen, they have come too
late to be of material benefit. The
plant has consequently matured pre-
ma -urely and bolls have opened 80
rapidly that the crop is being gath
cred ea,lier than for msry years
Some counties report that the crop
will all be harvested by October l
others by the middle Of October. 4
few counties in Mississippi report
demage to open cotton by heav::
rains. The staple is much Ightt
than usual in consequence Of drough'
and heat; and the shedding of lesve.
and bolls will result in material dan,
age to the yield from the top crop.

Mile. Couedon, "the Angel Gabriel,
as her votaries called her, after going
up like rocket. has cone'down like

retirement after all her potoriety, for
the 60, 900 damages she claimed III

Before allowing Mile. Couedon to

view with the Able Valsdier, the very
respected chaplain Of La Roquette, who
speeds the parting criminals on the
scaffold, may be interesting as the con-
clrsion Of one Of the most curious chap
ters ON superstition in modern times.
The sbbe, by an ingenious strategem,
compelled the lady to confess that she
was no more "voyante" than fortune
tellers, who are allowed to fool credu-
lous people at French fairs.
Anxious to see the Angel Gabriel TOR

he was Immediately received. Onseeing
him the "voyante" began, as usual, to
pour forth bouts rimes" which meant
nothing. The priest, interrupting, asked
whether he could speak to the angel

signs, turned round and round IN her
chair and said, "Now You can question

"Cur dixit angelus'- began the
able.
I beg your pardon, remarked Mile.
Couedon, "but ie you speak Latin the
angel does not understand.
The abbe held under his arm box
containing a pyx. in which there is usu-
ally o coasecrateti host. "Can this
angel see inside this::" he asked.
Certainly.
"What is inside, then:"
The "voyante'' sought to turn the
conversation by reciting psalms and dis
connected sentences.
Suppose, said the abbe, "it WAS
consecrated host?'
"Oh, then, the angel would 90 down
on his knees and pray"
'Then," said the priest, rising and
in solemn tone, ''the angel must know
whether or not i have host in this

Mile. Couedon droppedsOn her knees.
Tears flowed from'her eyes. The angel
was speaking through her. He knows
the host is in the box; he sees it, and he
adores it,
The prayers over, the Able Valadier
said severely: "You are not a voyante.
You arc not inspired. You have proved
it. You see there is no host inside. "
