CAMPING IN THE PYRENEEs.
Young Frenchmen Have Found q New Play
ground In the MOuntains.

A party Of ten young Frenchmen are
preparing TO spend the summer in the
Pyrenees. Some Of them went through
the experience last year and they consider
themselves the discoveries OF he Pyrenees
as a playground.
They go in with tents made Of duck over
light frames. which when set up are about
six feet six square and five feet high. zach
OF which shelters four or five men at night.
They also take a collapsible BOAT. When
the railway is left the first stages OF the
journey into the mountains are made by
picking up some of the muleteers who
cross the mountains from Spain taking
sweet grapes 10 the French markets. These
good fellows on their way home are only
too glad to carry the camp equipage on
the backs Of their burros in consideration
OF a few polite phrases md n few francs.
At the close OF u long days tramp down
the darkening side of the mountains the
explorers will sometimes see a fame sud-
denly shoot up ahead Of them. The guides
and porters give an exclamation OF pleasure
and hurry toward il.
They find il has been kindled to guide
them by some herdsman. whose ear, used
to the silence OF the mountains. has caught
the noise OF their footsteps in the distance.
He had no idea who they were. Most likely
he thought theS were ~smugglers plying
between France and Spain.
Close by his hut the camp is set up. In
one great soup pot there is an ola podrida
Of meat Inc barley. From another comes
the fragrance of tea. A skin Of red wine
is broached and the Frenchmen produce
such delica cies az smoked sausage and
potted fow or even pate de foie gras. The
air and appetite born Of the days tramp
make everything taste it, best.
In the morning the party splits up for
a days sport. The cook and his aid start
for SOM farm or village to buy provender.
II there is water near the fishermen get the
boat into commission. Small az IL is, il il a
stanch craft with n belt Of Kapok or Java
nese fibre about her which makes her prao-
tically unsuitable. This IL essential, for
the water in the mountain la~kes-bowls in
the hOllows of the hills SO cold that even
the best swimmer could keep afioat un-
aided only for a few minutes.
The young Frenchmen who are going
out this year say that they want to make
the most Of their discovery before it gets
noised abroad, because when the Joys of
roughing il in the Pyrsnees are once re-
vealed the region will be overrun by Eng
lishmen and Americans until il becomes as
commonplace az the Alps.

Five or Them SIT by Right: the others Are

Rlght to he Tried by the lIorts.

The phrase lawn sleeves has by long
familiar usage become identified with the
Bishops in the House OF Lords. The APP
parel OF the lords spiritual consists of two
separate habits. The first is the rochet, a
long. loose garment of fine white lawn.
over which is a black silk robe, also fun
length. but without arms, which accentu
ates not only the Wilderness but the balloon
shape of the lawn sleeves OF the under gar
ment.
Besides wearing these distinctive robes.
says M0cmiidn's. the Bishops are separated
in seats also from the rest of the assembly;
they sit together on reserved benches inn
mediately to the right Of the woodstock.
There are twenty-six lords spiritual in
Parliament the Archbishop of Canterbury,
the Archbishop Of York and twenty four
Bishops. That has been their number ever
since the time OF Henry VIII. Until the
middle Of the nineteenth century that
included the entire number OF the English
Bishops. BY hat time population had 80
increased that new bishoprics were estab-
lished, but by act of Parliament the num-
Der Of Bishops admitted to the House of
Lords remained the same.
Five OF these twenty-four prelates are al
ways entitled to a seat. The two Arch
bishops and the Bishops of London. Dur
ham and Winchester sit by right Of Office.
The others sit in rotation. When there is a
vacancy it is filed 10y the Bishop who is at
the head of the waiting list. The name of
the successor TO the Bishop who has re-
signed is placed at the foot Of that list.
The Bishops act as chaplain to the Hous Of
Lords. For q fortnight at a time one after
another reads prayers at the opening Of the
proceedings.
A new lord spiritual ia not introduced
into the House of Lords with the elaborate
ceremonial tha attends the introduction Of
new temporal peer. He walks in bei ween
two other Bishops, and going up to the wool
sack drops on his right nee and presents
his writ of to the Lord Chancellor.
Then his sponsors. without further formal
ity, conduct him TO his place or the Bishops
bench.
One remark: lie privilege enjoyed by
all peers il not accorded 20 the Bishops.
If a peer we're charged with felony me
court for his trial would be the House of
Lords, but IL an Archbishop or Bishop
were indicted for felony he would he tried
in the Criminal Courts before a Judge and
jury like any Commoner. But though not en-
titled to n tria. by peers. the lords spiritual
have the right to take part in the trial of a
peer before the House of Lords. If. how
ever, the Peer is being tried for his life.
