The goddess Flora is worshipped
annually on May 8 at Holston, Iii
Cornwall, with much pomp, cere-
mony and rejoicing, On the evening
of• the previous 'day practically the
entire adult population sallies forth
into the surrounding couttryaide for
garlands and green branches, just
as did the ancient Romans eighteen
centuries ago. The main feature of
the- festival is tia curibus dance per-
formed to a sprightly tune, said to
be used also in Wales and I3ritannY,
end on "Flora day," as it is local-
ly termed, both doors of all houses
are kept -open in order that the
strings of dancere may pass
through them at pleasure. • For any
householder to close his doors would
be to invite misfortune and ill luck
• throughoutthe ensuing year.
THE SACRED WELL.
• Exactly the same, thing may be
• witnessed to -day at the sazied well
of Ste. Maebrubha, • in Loche
Marco, Ross -shire, where is an an-
cient oak tree, studded with count-
less nails of all sizes, the offerings,of
invalid pilgrims who came to wor-
sbip and be cured. Pennies and half-
peenies also are to be seen in mor -
nous quantities driven edgeways in-
to the tough bark, a,nd, a friend of
the writer who visited the spot some
little time back discovered in a
cleft high up in the trunk what he
took to be a. shillings On being ex-
tracted, however, it proved to be a
counterfeit. Probably the donor,
finding that he could get no value
for his coin in the natural world,
concluded he might as well try as a
last resource what effect it might
have in the spiritual.
• Of course, the poor cotters and
others who flock to St. Maebrubha,
with their nails and their pence do
not for a moment admit that they
are assisting at a pagan ceremony.
But they most •undoubtedly are:
Well worship has always oceupied an
important place -in paganism, and
the 'sacaad • oak tree before which
each, pilgrim must thrice kneel ere
humbly presenting his offerings
is it but an obvious survival
of the ' sacred, groves 'of Druidicial
times?
Similarly the final rite, in which
the patient is towed thrice around
the island at the stern of a boat
with the course of the sun is clear-
ly a .custom derived from. those dis-
tant days when the adoration of the
orb, the -visible source of light and
life, was the ordinary and, obvious
duty of those whom he benefited.
But these are harmless obser-
vances,. There is a dark side to the
• picture. For instance, the cock has
always played a prominent 'part in
paganism the world over. In In-
dia, in Ceylon, in Hayti, he is to
this day openly sacrilicedby being
buried alive. So, too, is he in
parts of Scotland, but secretly, at
dead of- night, with much mystery,
the object being to effect a cure in
cases of epilepsy and insanity, by
propitiating the demon that is sup-
• posed to dwell in tliose afflicted by
these. terrible maladies. Also, it is
said, it is by 'no. means unknown
among the highland crofters for one
of a herd of' cattle to be -interred
alive after a similar fashion, as an
offering to the spirit of the murrain,
when that disease or anything re-
sembling it is more than usually'
prevalent.
IT REQUIRED CARE.
In a town in the wildest part of
the Transvaal the cashier of a bank
is an individual who for a time act-
ed as a judge some years ago. One
day recently he refused to cash a
theque offered by a stranger.
"The cheque is all right," he said,
•"but the evidence you offer in
identifying' yourself as the person to
whose order it is drawn is scarcely
Sufficient."
"I've known you to hang a man

stranger's response. -
"Quite likely," replied the ex -
judge; "but when it comes to letting
go of cold cash we have to be ease -

sch,00l class has beautiful red hair.
On a recent Sabbath the rector

to be sung, and, rising, waved his
hand, and the organ pealed forth. /

Lord Dundonald (an a:a:ester of the

WHY IS WOOL SO CHEAP ?
Mr. Alfred Manse -11, of Shrews-
bury, Maga Gives the Reason.
My attention was. first -drawri t
the ;extensive adulteration in *MAI
goads by an able article heade
"Why is Wool so Ohea,P ?" whi
the writer, who is well known as
wool expert, boldly states that :
."It the wearing fitparel, used
men and women, were only Made o
of the pure woOl. .11bre exptessl
given to us by Providence for th
aole-purpese, instead of being sill
stiteted by other foreign material
then there would ' be a tobust stat
of affairs crannection with woo
but, as it • is, the use of wool i
aimullea at every tturn • by the us
of substitutes for the sole purpos
of cheapening wool fabrics, with lit
tie ler no regard to the 'wearin
properties of the same." • •
The. same authority a states that it
a drive of thirty miles around Mead
ford, not one, but scores; of mills
could be pointed out where for every
bale of --wool Used, tee bales, • and,
often more of shoddy, mUngo stock-
ings and cotton are used, and that
in what is krion't as the heavy wool-
len districts of Yoreshire, there are
dozens of manufacturers who never
buy a single bale of ram wool, and
yet aro :known and acknowlede'ed as
influential manufacturers of , woollen
goods.. This is a very extraordinary
statemeat, and notwithstaudieg the
wide circulation of the ail:We quote

The importance of the frequesit
sales of rags of every deseription,
steel:1nm mungo and the like,: dee-
r atched from all parts of the Brit-
ish Isles, and several Cottinental:
countries, held by Dewsbury, Batley,
Leeds and other centres in the manu-
facturing districts, prove - the, truth
of the foregoing assertion It is
further' stated that to .seveind large

sales ate far more important 'than

London, Bradford and alsenthere:
'Examples of Adulterated Goods
Melton, 42 in. wide, 6d. to 7d. per
yard, extensively used for skirts and
frocks, contains no wool, being ab-
solutely all cotton warp, the weft
being entirely spun from rags and a
little raw cotton blended together
to give it strength—sold as woollen
goods. It is stated that thousands
of pieces are sold weekly in time
shape of meltons, serges and the
like, and that the art of finishing
as practised in Yorkshire has reach-
ed such a state of perfectima that
it is now quite possible to hide frOin
the ultimate buyer the defects of the
fabric, particularly hiding the foun-
dation material of the cloth. -
In the 'Yorkshire Daily Observer of
March 29th last, reference is made
to a cheap class of coverts brought

well constructed and has a large de-
mand.
An Assizes trial at Leeds on March
17-th last, has settled the ve:eed
question of the vague terms, ''All

know that "all wool" mewls all

of bread; 151 pounds of bread, and
152 pounds of bread.
Ti 1884 Canada exported in value
wheat, $812,923; in the following
year it had risen to $1,966,287;
then it leapt up to $3,025,864 in
1886, and In 1900 had grown to
$11,995,488. Flour that in 1384
only amounted to 31,025,995, in
1886 had risen to $1,744,969, and

of Davy that broke up the system
of bare-fallowitg, so that in Great
Britain to -day the proportion of

fallen, to one in 50. As regards
germination, Davy's views were en-
tirely in line with the present-day
knowledge, while wheat rust was
well known to be frequently associ-
ated with the presence of barberry

though the recognitioa of the fact
