The pastor of the church is being ably
sustained by the curate, Rev. FIR. 81
mard, and the two have done all they
could to discourage the promoters of
the fair.
The priest has no grudge against the
promoters of the fair or the organiza-
ers of the society, but he is against the
fair and society in itself. He claims
that society that can carry
no arms according to law is of
very little benefit to the pope. The
pope has in fact no need of the sOciety
anyway, in these times of peace.
What has ruffled FIR. Legris more
than anything else, is the wine clerk
contest for the diamond ring. He de-
nounees that in emphatic terms, and he
is supported by a few of the main pill
lars of the church, who always coincide
with FIR. Legris views, no matter what
they are.
The tip has been given out, and il
reached the open ears of the Webster
correspondent of The Spy that at next
Sundays masses FIR. Legris intends t.
deliver a parting shot at the fair. He
will probably again caution his pa.
rishioners to keep away from the fair

MYSTERIOUS RORAIMA.
American Mountain Success-
fnlly Made.

EAvices from British Guiana bring in
teresting details of the final scaling and
exploration of the famous Mountain
of Mystery" the table-capped Roraima,
which stands on the borders Of Brazil,
an object of fetch 'veneration to the In
dian tribes of that nation and hitherto
a source of wonder and keen specula-
tion to geographers, geologists, botan-
lists and naturalists. All previous at
tempts to scale and explore the elevated
table land forming the summit of
Roraima proved abortive until Everard
+. Thurn, magistrate and commissioner
of the Northwest territory, found a
practicable ridge along the southwest
wall. He, however, merely gained the
summit edge. Some years later-in 1896
-Messrs. Quelch and Mcconnell. two
officials, did as much, but failed to pen
citrate the mysteries of the mountain.
Last year they made second attempt,
in which they were completely sue
cessful.
Although standing isolated on an
open elevated savanna or plain, Rorai-
ma is really the termination of the
Pacaraima mountains. The savanna it
self is something of an elevated table
land, being $500 feet above sea level.
Above this the mountain proper rises
5000 feet, l,500 feet of which presents
a formidable mural precipce more per-
feet in form and wonderful in aspect
than anything like ii to be found else
where, and which has made it the cen
ter of the great Indian legend and tradi-
tions, and not less the object of modern
scientific interest.
The exploring party left Georgetown
on August 20 and returned November
is, the journey each way occupying 40
days of incessant toll and hardship,
while nine days were spent on the sum-
nit of the mountain in eXploring-or
rather exploding-its" "mysteries." The
results are eNasperatingly negative.
Not an chronological relic was found,
and evidently the foot of man had never
trod its heights. The alleged mystery
of that summit resolved itself into an
almost arid waste of rock of most sin
guIar and not uninteresting formation,
interspersed with scanty vegetation,
tie highest tree not exceeding 20 feet
in height. No animal life was found,
except an abundance OF beetles and in
sects. a large number of birds was
secured, but of these only three were
new to the colony, and may not prove
to be unknown. A detailed scientific
report of the exploration will shortly
be presented to the government Of
Guiana.-N. Y. Tribune.

AMERICAN INDIAN GAMES
They Have Proven of Great Value IN
the study Of American
Folklore.

Our ideas of game are primarily as
soicated with mirth, amusement. play,
such, indeed, being the original mean
ing of our English word. A careful
examination of games, however, reveals
the fact that they originated not as
pastimes, but as serious divinatory
contests. This is especially true Of
the games of those we call primitive
people or savages.
We quickly find that distinction
may be drawn between these sacred
and divinatory games and the mimetic
plays of children. Children play at
real games as they play at every other
serious business of life. They thus
perpetuate games that have otherwise
disappeared. Hence the value of chill
dren's games in our study.
At the same time this derivation APP
plies chiefly to the higher cultures
In savagery we deal with the games
of adults--first of men, then women
with games so complex that no child
mind could grasp thefI principles or
Objects; with games SO wrought and
interviewer with primitive. concepts of
nature and the universe that no modern
mind could create or invent them

The Eject of Persecution.

In matters of conscience nothing is
easier than to rivet erroneous and mfs-
chievous beliefs upon mans mind
by the use of persecud ton. But all force
applied to the conscience, however well
meant, is necessarily persecution. No
doubt we generally restrict the word
persecution" to the application of force
in cases where we agree with the per-
secuted, but in reality all constraint
of the conscience is persecution. Some
times, of course, persecution is perfect
ly right and necessary-it would be
clearly so in the case of u sect of pessi-
mists who held it duty to kill all per-
sons over So--but that does not makeit
any the less persecution or alter it's
stimulating character. We do not doubt
that inflicting very heavy penalties on
those who conscientiously preached eil-
thanasia would greatly spread the
creed.-London Spectator.
