The Ardirhebiah Club met with Mrs
Beecherer. Comstock avenue, on Tues
day afternoon. December twenty-sixth
The literary hour was in charge of
Miss lnez Atkins, assisted by Mrs.
Bardeen and Miss Louise Blake
The subject Morse Mythology" is
one which is frequently considered in
literary circles, and often finds place
in club programs and lecture courses
The first paper by Miss Atkins. most
interestingly described the significance
and beauty OF Morse legends. In begin
ming, however, attention was called to
the general meaning OF mythology, as
follows:
Mythology is a system Of myths: a
collection OF popular legends, fables.
tales or stories relating TO the gods.
heroes, demons. or other beings whose
names have been preserved in popular
belief.
such tales are not found only in the
traditions OF the ancient Grechs,' Hin
docs or Egyptians. but every nation
has It's system Of myths and that OF
the ancient Norsemen is more simple,
earnest. miraculous, stupendous and
divine than any other mythological
system OF which we have record.
The myth is the oldest form OF
truth; and mythology is the knowledge
which the ancients had OF the Divine.
The object Of mythology Is TO find God
and come 20 him. The Morse mytholo-
gy then shows what rhe religion of our
ancestors was. and, knowing this. we
discover the unseen and spiritual foun-
tain from which all their outward acts
wellcd forth. and by which the char
actcr % these acts were determined"
Continuing, the paper turns To Ice
land, the home Of Morse mythology.
and refers to the old Morse poets. many
OF whom were natives of Iceland. The
work of the poet Saemund was de-
scribed as being OF especial impart-
ance lie collected certain old pagan
songs and poems OF a mystic. prophetic
and religious character, and these are
known as the ELDER Edda." the foun-
dation Of the Morse mythology.
The paper gives also clear explana-
tion % the weird Morse idea of tho
Creation and the origin of their gods
aud giants
Attention was also called TO the fact
that Morse mythology shows that our
ancestors had deeply belief
In the Immortality Of the soul, and that
the future state was regarded as con-
tinuation OF our earthly existence.
COhclumng the paper notes that the
old Norscmen had many beautiful
ideas in connection with death.
In illustration OF this thought the
beautiful chapter on "Odin and the
Twilight OF the Gods was read.
The second paper - the afternoon by
Mrs Bardeen. called attention TO the

CROWS GROWING RICH.

The Crow Indians have done ex-

charged 800 per annum for board and

SINCE the Crimean war" observes
the A. and n. Journal, "the English
have lost touch with active service
against a worthy foe and their blunders

remark may be taken as payment in
fun for many supercilious observations
from English quarters on the work OF
an American soldier. 1t appears more
over from survey OF the facts and
the figures OF the war in South Africa
that not only have blunders been made
which would be inexcusable I'm a mill

THE Army and Navy Journal Is
rather severe on the military exhibition
afforded by our English cousins in
South Africa. But probably not too Sc
we're. The A. and n. Journal speaks
with authority, though doubtless it's
criticism is not softened by the rehec-
ton that British military authorItIes
have rarely praised the American sol
dier, specially the volunteer soldier who
has always been the mainstay of an
American army i'm time of war, and
that when praise has been forthcoming
il has always been accorded with a
condescending qualification. AS a mat
