the last fifteen years this type of hero

novels. The crea ture who has so rough

in her vices. She is, as rule vulgar
and commonplace; more likely than not
she is repulsive and ugly; bad manners
and bad temper she regards as the ne

She may dress we'll, for she is vain; but
of charm or grace she is as innocent as

supreme contempt upon all those finer

BROTHER BRYAN,s OATS.

Mr.. Bryan is not as foolish S some of
his opponents say he is. He is willing
to be called from his plough to guide
the affairs of State, but until he is so
called he isn't going to desert his
plough, for he knows when he has
good thing. This year he has thriven
by the plough. For instance, he has am
cat field near Lincoln of 120 acres. His
oats averaged a yield of forty bushels
to the acre These oats We're sold with
in two weeks after being harvested at
thirty cents a bushel netting the owner
something like 81, 400. This is twice as
much as the land cost Mr. Bryan
OF course nobody win begrudge Mr..
Bryan his oats, if he doesn't feel them
too much, and he will probably not do
that His success as farmer gives
him an opportunity to do very grace
full thing. His modesty will, of course,
forbid him to vote for himself. Why
can't he cast his vote for Mckinley and
the Mckinley prosperity which has
brought him a good crop of oats and a
high price for it?

many woman reader, believing that

story unfinished What is the reason
of this strange prediction for disa-

is she a caricature? Has the average
girl Of Anglo-Saxon parentage become
ill-mannered and bad tempered? Has
the stress and strain of modern life low

DRUIDISM.
The Theory That the Rites Practised
in Scotland and Ireland Were Of Tu-

The Theory That the Rites Practsed
in Scotland and Ireland Were Of Tu-
ranian Origin.
That the Druidic rites as practised in
ireland and Scotland were neither Gel
tic nor Semitic, but Turanian in origin,
appears to be highly probable. The be-
lief In Druidism has undergone some VI
olent fluctuations Two hundred years
ago 1t was rampant; Toland had his
wild theories were received with open
arms. A hundred years ago a complete
reaction set in and some critics refused
to accept the Druids at any price; no
such organization, they argued ever
existed. In a modified degree this is
the modern attitude, but the modifica-
ton is of some importance. 1t is gene
rally accepted as a settled point that
the so-called Druidic circles were by
origin grave Enclosures, but it is also
freely admitted that at a subsequent
period Druidc or other religious rites
may have been performed within some
at least of the groups of standing
stones.
The Roman historians distinctly af-
firm the prevalence of Druidism in
Britain, and Irish and Highland tradi-
lions alike appear to offer confirmation
of their accounts so far as Ireland and
Scotland are concerned 1t is quite rea-
sonable to give some degree of credence
to these evidences. without accepting
the elaborate system of Druidism which
some writer's have evolved from their
imaginations We may believe that
comparatively pure form of Pantheism,
into which debasing influences gradual
ly orept, may have prevailed, and that
its rites may have been conducted in
consecrated groves, and later possibly,
within the grave circles. The latter
We're certainly used In historic times
for judicial and similar functions. 1t
may be remarked that the Sagas de-
scribe the primitive Thor's temple as a
structure similar to the grave circles of
this country; the dom-rings of Scandi-
navia are supposed to have been used
for the worship of Thor 1t is also not
impossible of credence that the doctrine
of the transnligration of souls and 9TH
err tenets of religious creeds in modern
times may have been held by the Dru-
ids.
worthy feature Of the Druidic religion
was its claim to magic arts. The word
Druid is probably derived from the
Sanscrit root druh, which, according to
Professor Max Muller means mis-
chief" or "power Of darkness" hence
the Anglo-Saxon form of dry, magi-
clan. The Irish Fingaian legends are
full of the magical exploits of the Dru-
ids. They were reputed to have power
to raise or allay tempests at their pleas
ure, and to develop themselves or 9TH
ers in a magical fog thicker even than
that which conceals their own history.
st. Patrick in Ireland and st. Column
bia in Scotland are related to have had
many encounters with their magical
arts, from all of which, of course, the
Saints emerged victorious. We are
told by Adamnan that the Pictish kings
were the patrons in Scotland of these
magicians. The Irish Fion himself was

A WASTE.

Although the great heart of Brother
hearts of his tickle followers don't seem
to be beating responsibility to his in this
matter The Democratic Congressional
Campaign Committee has stacks of free
silver literature which 1t would like to
send to somebody or anybody who
wants 1t. 1t appears that soon after
the committee was organized Chairman
Richardson thought to take time by
the forelock and so began early to ac-
cumulate political ammunition. At that
time Mr.. Bryan was devoting a large
part Of his daily remarks to the cur
rency question, and mixed free silver
with his anti-imperialistic notions.
Chairman Richardson accordingly be-
lieved that some of the old So silver
speeches, together with some of the
more recent utterances on that old
topic, would come in handy during the
campaign. Orders were, therefore, is
sued for the printing of a liberal num-
Der of Champ Clark's silver speech in
the last congress- as well as those of
several other champions of the lost
cause. All the pamphlets thus printed
are still in stock, there not having been
single request for literature on this
subject The officers of the committee
admit this themselves and they ac-
count for this lack of demand for free
silver documents on the ground that the
people have been thoroughly educated
on the financial issue. Other officers of
the committee say that free silver is not
an issue in this campaign, and they are
not yet able to quite forgive Mr.. Bryan
for insisting that the silver plank be
inserted in the Kansas City platform.
With the free silver issue" dead, and
the imperial issue not taking very well,
about all that seems to be left for the
Democrats is to talk about the trusts.
Perhaps that issue will last through the
campaign with careful handling.

ing the thumb which had pressed the
Salmon of knowledge" he could see
every concurrent event in Ireland. The
poor Druid Fion, whom the youthful
son of Cumhall robbed both of his name
| and his "Salmonscope," is deserving OF
our sympathy. The Danaans, VINO, ac-
cording to Irish tradition, came TO Ire
land from Denmark and Sweden, were
mighty magicians. They elected their
izinsfolll, the Firbolgs from the island,
and were themselves subsequently de-
prived of their possessions by the MI

Idle arts ultima tely proved unaValllng.
We are told that the Danaans taught
the simple Gothic Scandinavians their
black magic.
If we examine the primitive religion
of Scandinavia as set forth IN the Eu-
das, we find q close similarity between
it and the fragmentary traditions or
Druidism which have been preserved.
The Eddas, supplemented by the Sagas,
give us picture of magic similar TO

of Britain or with it's accretions, must
perhaps go to the credit of Scandina-

rently insignificant but actually potent

Preparations are in progress in Lon
don for the production of medals to eel

one pair Of designs has been put in
hand, and the present intention is that
the medals shall be made of silver. The
matrices are now being engraved, anu
when finished will be submitted for
Queen Victora's approval. After
wards they will be used in the prepare
ton of the dies from which the medals
will be struck. Meantime, additional
presses are being erected, and by the
time the dies are ready there will be
five presses altogether available, which
will give an average daily output of
about 100 medals Owing to the great
number which will be required, it is
thought possible that part of the con-
tract will be given to other than the
government works.
