method we employ: There are five
heads-O looks; CO manners; 81 abili-

fifth item often balances all the rest,

use, II may fancy their company, or

Bonires are a survival of the rites
Of Baal and Moloch. When Christian
ity ruled old ways and customs could
be abolished, and so the heather, still
laundering after the ancient deities, but
half controlled by pope or bishop, made
their bOntircS on the eve Of st. Peter
or st. John. One use Of bontires in the
not so far distant past was as a means
of disinfection. In his History Of the
Plague" Defoe tells of bonfires in Lon
don streets. There is reason to suppose
that in kindling such fires there was
still Il remnant Of superstition left. 1t
was i'll Il measure a sacrifice to Baal.
AS to the excellence Of the method Of
making fires to drive away q plague
the benefit would be questionable.
Anyhow it may be dwelt upon as the
earliest effort made toward cremation,
for it was of some slight use when an
infected ncighborhOod caught fire and
was reduced to ashes. But, then, the
remedy might have been worse than
the disease.

Chautauqua Grounds Will be

Ever This Year.

POPULAR OFFICER TO KEEP
PEACE AND QUIET AT CAMPING
PLACE-EIGHT "SPECIALS" TO
HELP HIM.

Efffforts are being made to have
better order at the Chautauqua
grounds this year than ever before.
If the watchfulness of eight special
policemen and Officer Dan McManus,
who has been made Chautauqua po-
lice superintendent stand for any
thing, there will be no night shirt pa
rades nor petty thieving this year.
The rules of order have been made
known to all who are likely to make
trouble and the ignoring of them will
mean arrest and punishment.
Officer McManus is an admirable
patrolman to place in charge of the
grounds, as he is not only firm and
gives strict attention to his duties,
but he is very popular. There is lit
tie doubt but that the order under him
will be of the best 1t has been de-
cided that all persons must be in
their tents by ten O'Clock and that all
lights will go out at eleven.
The enlargement of the grounds
has made necessary an increased
force of patrolmen. Those who have
been sworn in as specials are: Mike
Kelly, Karl Wadman, A. c. Brown,
Harry Gates, Frank Swain, Fl. G. Win
sett, Ed Thatcher and George McClel-
