Peculiar Features Of the FpddO1, the Great Welsh National
Festival, Recently Held at Cardiff.

The festival lasts four days, and
from all the villages, Golfers, quarry
men and laborers, with their sweet
hearts decked in gayest attire, betake
themselves to the steddfod. The bust
ness of the Gorsedd is the licensing or
approving of the various grades of
bards, and the choral competition is
the most interesting. Then there is
the browning of the bard and the
quaint custom of "chairing" the bard.
There are also competitions in paint
ing and art needlework. The Eistedd-
fodam are held alternately in the north
and south OF Wales, and this year it
was held in Cathay's Park, at Cardiff.
There was an innovation this year,
delegates coming from Brittany, wear
ing the picturesque Breton costume,
and other Celtic representatives, in
the delegates from Scotland, wearing
the Highland dress. Thousands OF
persons witnessed the ceremonies of
the Gorsedd on the first morning.
There was the outer circle CT red
Radyr stones, twelve in number, in
honor of the apostles, as some think,
each draped in the Gorseddic colors,
white, blue and green. In the center
was placed the "Maen Log" or sacred
stone, symbolizing the whole earth,
and representing the top slab of the
cromlech. Here, robed in his gar

What the Isthmian games were to
The ancient Greek, Eisteddfod is to the
modern Welshman, an event which
brings the people together, tutoring all
differences of opinion as t. policies
and religion, conquering all sectional
feeling, and cementing the bonds
which bind Welshmen together in a
common brotherhood. This institu
ton, peculiar to Wales, is of very an
cient origin. The present name, how
ever, which means a session" or sit
ting" was probably not used before
the twelfth century. In the fourth
century, upon the departure Of the Ro-
mans, Owain at Maxen Wledig. was
elected to the chief sovereignty among
the Britons. and it was about this time
that the motto, THE truth against the
world was adopted, and the laws of
the Gorsedd codified. The first one
held, of any note, took place in the
sixth century, The Prince of North

OF VARIOUS SPEECHES.


Pico della Mirandola, learned Ital-
ian of the fifteenth century, was elo-
quent in twenty-five languages, and M.
Fulgence Fresnel was familiar with
twenty.
In the seventeenth century Nicholas
Schmid, German peasant, translated
the Lords prayer into as many lang
uages as there are weeks in year, and
in the next century Sir William Jones
could converse in twenty eight differ
ent tongues.
The fame Of Elihu Burritt, the learn
ed blacksmith, who died some twenty
years ago, is still fresh in memory.
Burritt mastered Latin, Greek and
French while plying his hammer at the
forge, and he made as light of trans
lating Icelandic sagas as Of shoeing a
horse.
There have been phenomenal ling
uists in all ages. from the far-away
days of Mithridates, king Of Pontus,
who could converse with his subjects
in each of their twenty-five different
tongues, and from the days of Cleopa-
ira, who never used an interpreter in
her relations with the worlds ambas-
sailors.

There was a good deal of dancing, but

Prehistoric Assvriology.

A correspondent of the London
Times, writing from Bushire, Persia,
states that excavations at Susa have
produced inscriptions and relics of a
very interesting character. Susa was
probably the most ancient and i'm
portant city in the worlds history,
compared with which both Babylon
and Nineveh were modern cities. The
excavations, which are being conducted
by French scientists, have already
given us the names of eleven kings at
Susa hitherto unknown to history. A
new cuneiform inscription is now being
deciphered. The data are supposed to
belong to period when Egyptian CIV
ilization was in its infancy. Some fine
specimens of the Flint Age have been
found. Susa, it is stated, was at one
time the capital of the Chaldean king
dom.

Sues Her Husband for Wages as His
Housakeeper.
Among the cases to be tried during
the September term of the Hudson
county New Jersey court is that of
divorced wife, who is suing her former
husband for services as housekeeper.
The defendant is John r. Behrens,
member of the wholesale drug firm of
Finch, LONG & Finch. of No. 162 Pearl
street, New York. Mr.. Behrens and
Miss Helen Glorinska were married on
July 25. 1866, in New York, and in
1880 moved to Jersey City. They have
seven children. In 1886 Mrs. Behrens
brought suit for divorce on the grounds
of cruelty Mr.. Behrens filed a cross
bill on statutory grounds and won. In
1894 Mrs. Behrens, at her former hus-
bands request, returned to the home
as housekeeper. so as to be near her
children. Finally, all the children were
married, and on April 10 last Behrens
told his former wife that he had no
further use for her services. When
she asked for her wages, claiming that
she had received only $40 during the
years she had acted as housekeeper,
Behrens declared that he had no

Increase of Population.

Some interesting statistics in regard
to the increase of population have inst
been compiled by Sir Robert Clifton a
distinguished English expert on this
subject. He shows that England now
has possessions on all five continents.
and that quarter of the population
OF the entire earth is subject to her
suzerainty. The extent of territory
owned by England amounts to Is .OOO.-
goo square miles, and on this immense
tract is population of $4,000, 900.
During the last twenty-seyen years the
English realm has increased by 2,S54,-
OOO square miles, and within the same
period 125,000,O00 have been added to
the population.
Since 1871 the population of the
United Kingdom England, Scotland
and Ireland-has increased from 49,
100000 to 40,O0O,0OO At the beginning
of this century England, Scotland and
ireland had population of II 900 900.
and France of $4,000, 600. and vet TO-DAY
the proportion of population in both
countries Is almost alike. Russia has
increased her population by 60,OOO,O 900
since 1870, the result being that she
mas now total population of $780,
100000. Germany had a population of
2O,OOO. ECO at the beginning Of this cen
tury; now she had between $4,000 900
and 6O.OO0.O0O of whom almost a quar-
ter is the result of increase of births
over deaths. Germany, too, is making
vast strides as colonial power, and
her population in those distant pos
sessions already amounts to a con-
siderable number.

Consul Jens Gran, in Bergner, was
notified, and at once offered the wom-

refused. This is the description given
