running the entire length of it, lighted
with electricity, heated by steam,
noticeably large rooms with electric
hells, and containing ull the modern
improvements of a first-class hotel in
every respect, besides commodious
enotieh to accommodate hundreds of
guests, also as pretentious as those
found at Mirutosa and .cwpori. i
might say, right here, thnt there is in
vested in the park a half million dol
lars in its hotels. The help employed
are most select and competent, fath
ered mainly from St. l'aul and eastern
cities at heuvy expense. And, by the
ivuy, the supplies, too, have to be trans
ported by wagon through the park from
seven to one hundred miles. Notwith
standing these apparent drawbacks, the
universal verdict Is that the hotels of
the park ami their service generally,
lire excellent, better than could be ex
pected under the circumstaucs, and su
perior in service to that furnished by
the general run of sea-sliore and moun
tain summer resorts. The rates are $1
per day or per week after the first
week which are not extortionate, us

AN IDEAL SUMMER RKSOKT.
As the tide of tourist travel has turned
westward, the people have learned that
Yellowstone park is more than a won
derland. It is un ideal summer resort
ull the attractions of mountain, lake
and river country. In addition to its
grand panorama of natural wonders.
All classes of people may now visit the
park with ease unit comfort, men, wo
men, children and invalids alike: In
camping parties, or in the luxurious
I'onconl stage coach. There Is no need
of roughing it. for unlimited facilities
are now provided, in udilition to tin;
couches, here are surreys, buggies, open
wagons uud saddle horses, so that the
tourist can make the trip through the
park in any way he pleases, taking ull
the time he pleases and enjoy all the
marvelous grandeur und terrible phe
nomena found here at comparatively"
little expense.
The trip of 160 miles through the park
is usually made in ('oncord couches, and
some of new and peculiar design, es
pecially adapted for park use. While
being st ion if and durable, they are
light, eusy to enter and get out of, and
open at the sides, so thut the pussen
Ker can easily see the country while
riding ulong. The eiiliment Is the
best obtti limbic. The Park company
have tifty-four six-horse t'oncoril
coaches and fifty vehicles of other de
scriptions uud about four hundred
horses, and the amount invested in
them is over tlOO.uon. These coaches
comfortubly accommodate from seven
to thirteen passengers euch und usually
cover the entire route in live and one
half days. The cost of the entire trip,
including transportation from Living
ston and return, with five and one-hulf
lays' board at the park hotels. Is only
Jt.r.0. The tourist thus travels daily
on schedule time, but on application to
the superintendent of transportation,
Sir. S. S. Huntley, may stop olT at
pleasure at any of the hotels enroute.
'uch tourist is furnished a book, which
comprises checks for the dally stage
rides mid seventeen meal coupons, and
when the book Is exhausted, for each
meul or lodging thereafter, un addi
tional dollar is charged. Two weeks can
lie prollluhly and pleasantly spent
within the confines of the purk and no
one should think of making the trip In
less than seven days. There is no
night travel. A telegraph line connects
-Mammoth Hot Springs hotel with each
hotel und lunch station in the park and
also with the outside world.
BEAUTIFUL VIEW.
Prom the veranda of this mammoth
hotel the tourist is regaled with a land
scape of great variety. What do we
see? On the right and westward are
the wonderful mammoth hot springs
in oil their dazzling radiance, while Just
in front are two peculiar objects,
standing like sentinels on the level
place below the terraces. These are
"Devil" Thumb" and "Liberty Cap."
They ure extinct geyser springs, deud
and cut off from their fellows. Part her
away southward, blocking vision in
thut direction, towers llimsen peak. 9,
f.iK feet, the highest mountain visible;
on the left and extending miles south
eastward, Is the deep valley of the
Cardiuer and the eust Gardiner river,
along whose purple waters we have
Just been traveling, while the lava
capied Mount Everts, T.tiOO feet high,
crowds down to the (iardiner river und
basin from afar. Nearby, just across
the wide plaza in front of the hotel and
ugalnst the back ground, Is Fort Yel
lowstone and the neat and comfortable
red-roofed quarters of the soldiers', who
patrol the park. Here the 1'nltcd
States bugler blows his trumpet to stir
tip the slumbering echoes of the ravines
and performs the sentinel duty of liriiiK
the sunrise and sunset gun and from
here he acrom panics the party to every
point of Interest to protect the curlosi
ies against the insatluble relic-hunter.
I have read various descriptions of
this wonderland and never quite under
stood them. Kven now I question
whether, as I come to explore and ex
plain It. I ran give my readers any
better than a faint Idea of its beauties
and grandeur. The visitor may well
spend a day and even more inspecting
the wonders found on and around this
hotel -plateau.
This line of terraces is said to be the
only structure of the kind in the world.
Some years ago there was something
like It in the -Pink Terraces" of Koto
mahana, In New Zealand, but recent
volcanic eruptions destroyed them,
leaving Mammoth Hot Springs without
a rival. What are they? These ter-

rnces are formed by lime deposits from
the boiling water. Imagine a m1 con
stantly overflowing und depositing Mine
around 'the 'rim and edges, for ages
finally building U.a terrace. In addi
tion to being strongly charged with
lime, the water also carries sulphur and
iron, which form a delicate yellow and
a high-colored bronse. The older the
lime formation tho harder It is. -The
water of the "hot springs" is always
of an Intense blue. The inside lining is
usually ierfectly white, with occasion
al variations from the sulphur and Iron.
This lime, sulphur and iron extends all
over the park and gives coloring: to the
"Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone,"
the most wonderful sight probably in
the world, to which we shall allude In
a later letter.
VIEWING TDK TERRACES.
It requires several hours to leisurely
visit all these springs. The high altitude
over i.OOOfeet above sea level will not
admit of a rapid Inspection. Provided
with a walking stick, a. pair of smoked
or lilue glasses, and a guide, we start
In for a tour of real inspection. We fol
low a broad bourd walk straight tow
ards that strange odd hill, or cliff, or
row of terraces of many names. We
slowly climb the trail that winds over
the white chalk-like slope and reach the
top of the Hist shelf which shows the
whole line of colors from the blackest
of black to the most dazzling of white.
These terraces are the products of the
overflow of hot springs; new springs are
ever opening and old ones closing:. The
terraces vary in extent from five acres
to fractions of un acre. They rang In
height from a few feet to forty and evon
sixty feet. Tills mound of carbonate of
lime embraces 1T0 acres, with thirteen
distinct terraces, and in It is a group of
fifty hot mineral springs, whose inex
haustible fountains have for ages boiled
and bubbled and toiled to upbuild this
grand system of terraces which rise one
above another almost as regular as a
flight of stairs to a height of 500 feet,
ending on a mountain side perhaps two
miles back.
The peculiar processes going on here
result in colored waters, startling In
their brilliancy. Red. pink, black, ca
nary, green, sulTrnn, blue, chocolate and
intermediate graduations are found in
complete harmony. The various colors
mean various temperatures. Where
the water exceeds l.V) degrees Fahren
heit, this growth Is white; in cooler
water the growth assumes one of the
above mentioned colors, the green, red,
oriiUKe and yellow predominating. In
some places the intense whiteness of
the mass of terraces is absolutely daz
zling. In anoflier place It resembles
huse walls of congealed pitch, while at
another locality the most delicate com
binations of colors are shown. Here
one hardly knows whether to admire
the delicacy of the formation, which
cannot he excelled by the finest lace, or
the brilliant and harmonious coloring
and chromatic effects existing: con
stantly on this enchanted ground. The
hot wuter vegetation growing along the
rills ns thoy cool on their way from
some of the boiling springs to the lower
levels Is of nearly every color of the
rainbow.
S1CKX FROM THE HOTKL.
All these effects can be seen from the
Mammoth hotel, which Is only a. few
hundred yards distant. This spot
should he visited early in the forenoon
or early in the afternoon, as the heat
Is intense In the middle of the day and
the? reflection from the wuter and while
formation Is very painful, though In
sunshine the coloring of the springs Is
far more brilliant. We will make men
tion only of two or three of the promi
nent features. "Minerva Terrace" Is a
muss of lime stone forty-three feet In
height, covering un area of nearly an
acre with a hot spring on Its summit
some twenty feet in diameter. The
temperature at the edge is Vti degrees
Fahrenheit. Articles of glass, iron or
any hard substance placed where the
water can Mow over them are soon coat
ed with a crystal white deposit. "Jupi
ter Terrace" Is the largest of the for
mation, covering an area of five acres,
and the hot spring overflowing it is
Hourly 100 feet In diameter. In dose
proximity Is "1'ulpit Terrace," very ap
propriately named. Prom here a path
leads to "Cupid's Cave," und also to
"Narrow (lauge Terrace," which Is a
fissure ridge, say ana feet long, filled
with miniature geysers and springs
which present 'the most brilliant rolor
iiiKS. Tills ridge Is shaped like a letter
A. At' the apex Hie hot water bubbles
out from little holes. The crust formed
here by the lime Is so brittle that even
carefully walking along its sides will
often cause It to give way and give
the? tourist a scare. On the
next terrace above are "Orange
iteyser," "Devil's Kitchen" and
"Hath Lake;" at every step here
the path Is surrounded by smoking
springs. We peer down into the black
ness of the Devil's' Kitchen, or the more
interesting Cupid's Cave and tramp
over the "Kleplinm's Hack," where the
steam mid boiling waters ooze out from
his back bone. Here Is where the Im
pious visitor remarks. "If this is not the
Devils Sink Hole, it is Hell's Half
Acre." Many of the names are taken
from the devil or hell, und very appro
priately. We step mighty carefully
among the myriad streamlets that
trickle from the pools and go on, forget
ting fatigue, hunger and everything else
save the fact that we are in wonder
land. A UAZZU.NO (SPECTACLE.
From a point called Admiration Point,
and very justly named, the sightseer
has a view of the springs anil mmIs just
before him, that fairly takes his breath;
this is one of the most beautiful sights
on earth, you breathe the air of over
7.HH feet elevation anil look at scenes
of such gorgeous coloring and startling
in effect that they cause you to stand
speechless. No urtlst's brush or tRiet's
pen can adequately depict this extraor
dinary scenery. Returning from these
scenes, we pass "Liberty Cup." which
stands near the travelled road, separate
and alone. This is an extinct hot
spring, or (leyser Cone, fifty-two fe?t
high and twenty feet In diameter nt
Its base, formed of overlapping- layers
of lime deposit for ages, built up by
the overflow of hot water through the
orifice at its top. This resembles a
huge Icicle.
The "Devil's Thumb" Is a cone of
similar structure, but smaller, located
about I'OO feet from Liberty Can. Roth
show- signs of age' and decay. The
weather Is suit! to affect them as It
does the Obelisk In Central park. New
York.
Near Mammoth Hot Springs hotel,
and scattered over the formation and
plateau are uaves. springs, steam-vents
handsome deposits and curiosities
without number to attract and detain
the visitor. Just in front of the hotel
are two of thf se caves and vent-holes,
fenced In. Willi h we visited. They are
the craters of extinct geysers or hot
springs. The McCartney cave is of
special Interest. You 'can descend It
by means of a ladder for lifty feet and
ladder, rope and candle a hundred feet
further, when running water ran be
distinctly heard from the subterranean
chambers, whence the hot vaoors and
poisonous gases constantly rise.
The ruins of hundreds of terraces
have been found here. A few have
been so large that the water runs over
them as over rocks. The Mowing' of this
water destroys vegetable life, and all
over the terraces lie the remains of
trees, some of large size covered with
lime. There are. all told, nearly three
hundred acres of these variously color
ed hot springs. Where does all the
drainage go? At some places can be
seen, and others heard the underground
river (Boiling river) that carries these
heated waters down underneath the
formation Into the Gardiner river, two
miles distant. The overflow from the
springs disappears at the base of each
terrace and finds its way through sub
terranean passages under the hotel
plateau by way of this boiling river,
which has only two hundred feet of
surface exposure, before Jt enters the
Gardiner, boiling hot.

and His Laws are Still in Force.
ROBERT MORRIS EISTEDDPOD
A Creat Musical and Literary Eisteddfod
of Interesting and Spirited Con
tests by Native and Foreif
Competitors.
Hywel Dda was the most famous of
all the Princes of Wales, and began to
reign in the year SMO. The excellent
code of laws which he? enucted to be
kept throughout the Principality of
Wales were observed until the time of
Henry VII.. King of Kngland. The
"Welsh Chronicles" says thut when
good Hywel taw how the customs ot
his country were abused he sent to tli
Archbishop of St. David's, and to all
the bishops In Wales, and the principal
ministers of the church, amounting; in
all to a hundred and forty, us well as
tv the lords, baronets and gentlemen of
the country. He then directed six of
the wisest of each WapontaketCwniwd)
to come before him at his palace on the
river TafT, ami with these bishops,
ministers, and others of his subjects he
spent the whole Lent in fasting and
prayers for the assistance of the Holy
Uhost to restore the laws and customs
of his country, thut God might be glori
fied,- and the people governed in peace
and righteousness. At the end ot
he selectd twelve of the most learned,
with Hlegwyryd, a renowned doctor of
the law. and a man of great literary ac
quirements at their head, and com
manded them to examine carefully all
the laws and customs of Wales and se
lect those which were unnecessary.
When these laws hud been read and
approved, he caused them to be written
in three books one to be kept and used
continually at his court, the second to
be placed at his palace at Aoernraw, in
North Wales, and the third at his pa
lace at Hinefwr, that these laws might
be observed in the three provinces when
necessary.
The following are a few of the Welsh
laws:
"A hid ire oucht to hear fully, to learn
carefully, to set forth plainly, and to
judge mercifully.
"A man should be 25 years of age be
fore he is made or appointed Judge.
"A man will be neither properly nor
fullv sensible until his beard grows
nor will he be a husband until he has a
heard.
"The necessitous man who walks
three towns, with nine houses in each
town, without either receiving alms or
entertainment, and Is taken wmt
food in his possession, shall not be
hanged.
"Twin brothers ought only to have
the share of one heir.
"Three oflenders shall be adjudged
worthy of death, viz: ho who betrays
his lord, he who outrageously and de
signedly kills another, and the thief
who confesses for the value of more
than fourpence.
"If a husband and wife separate and
divorce before seven years elapse from
the time of their marriage, the husband
shall refund the wife her portion of
dower, her household furniture, and her
wearing apparel.
"When two uersons are walking. In
company. If the foremost find anything;
valuable he shnll divide the vulue with
the hindmost, but if the hindmost Is
the tinder he does not divide with the
foremost.
"If u man find uny hogs running on
his fields, any time between the 2oth of
September und the l"ith or November,
he may kill one out of every ten for his
own use."
Hvwl Dda Is mentioned in the Triads,
with DyTnwal und Prydain. as one of
the three good princes of Britain. There
are several copies in manuscript anil
elsewhere. The first printed copy, with
a translation In Latin, with notes by
lr. Wotton, was published In 1730. Ur.
Wotton was greatly assisted In prepar
ing this code of laws for publication by
the learned and accomplished Welsh
scholar, the Rev. Moses Williams. They
are also printed In the third volume of
the Myfyrlan Archaeology, and a tniri
edition was published by the Record
Commission under the direction of Mr.
Aneurln Owen. In 1X41.
An English translation without the
text was published by Mr. Probert. and
this curious und Interesting record of
ancient Welsh customs and manners
has been brought before the notice of
continental scholars by Gabriel Pleg

An old elm tree at Cadoxton-Barrv,
which, like the stake which marks the
resting place of "Ben Battle." stands be
tween four cross-roads, has formed the
subject of discussion at about half A
dosen meetings of the Barry Prban Dis
trict Council, a couple of members of
which desire to see it removed. Argu
ments to tne ereeri mat it is an ancient
and picturesque landmark, and that be
neath Its sheltering bouahs Howell Har
ries preached to a multitude at the time
of the great revival In Wales were abso
lutely unavailing, but when Mr. William
Thomas announced the stupendous fact
that ha bad "woed and woo" under Ma
leafy shade. It was at once agreed that
that tree must be ana red!
Lord Kathmore, better known as Mr.
David I'lunket. has a strain of Jewith
blood In his veins. Ills great-grandfather
was a Jewish banker named Levi, who car
ried on business at Haverfordwest at the
end of the last century under the name
of Phillips. One of the banker's daugh
ters was the grandmother of Lord Kath
more and Lord Plunket, the Protestant
arehblshop of Ireland. From another
duughter the Rev. Hugh Price Hughes is
directly descended, and from another, Mr.
J. H. Davies, J. p. Cwrilmawr, in the
county of Cardigan, the treasurer of the
Welsh Calvlnlstlc Methodist Connexion.
It Is somewhat curious, as illustrating the
tenacity of Jewish characteristics that all
Phillips' deacendacu still speak with a
slight lisp.
An "Irish Pastor" contributes to tha
"Irish Baptist Magaxlne" an interesting
account of a "Deputation lour In the Prin
cipality," uteading the needs and merits
of our beloved und richly-blest work In
l lie (i recti. The visit lasted a month, and
the depululion went lionio with pleasant
memories of Welshmen';- hospitality. Tile
writer dci-lures: "We ure glud to be in
a position to testify thut in the hearts of
HuptMs In Wules there Is a large pla-e
fur Ireland, and much sympathy for the
liospel workers in her borders. They -prossed
themselves us deliuhtt'ul Willi the
success thut through Ood's gruc. hud at
tended our work In recent years. It Is
pleuslng to note the remarkable hospi
tably which friends in the. different places
were quick to show us. W e had not to pay
a single penny out for accotnnioduliou
throtiKhQjiil the tour. This speaks volumes
for the kindness of our fellow-Christians
awuy In thut favored land of Noncon
formity. Our fervent prayer Is that
Wules may continue to Increase in spiri
tual prlvlego und power."
"Vn y dyfroedd mawr a'r tonuu," one of
the most popular of Welsh hvmns. was
composed by old Dafydd William, under
very singular circumstances, according
to the story related the other day by Mr.
John Thomas, of Temide-sardent. to a
Camanthen literary aociety. The old mail
had occasionally some differences of opin
ion with is better half, and once, when
such an altercation took Dlace. he escaueJ
from the house and sought shelter from
the storm on the banks of the river Loug
hor. While watching the angry waves of
me i.iwcnwr, lasneu into rury by tne pre
vailng tempest, and the echo of the storm
at home still ringing In 4ils ears, the
thoughts or the bar. I reverted to the river
of dea-rh, and it was then that he wrote
the Immortul words which have since been
a source or comfort to thousands ot pit
minis on the threshold of the areut be
yond. l.t is conjectured that this was
the incident which Watcyn Wyn had In
mind when he wrote for 'his "Can a The-
lyn:"
Yr aweii sydd o hyd o hyd
Yn canu ar hyd y bryniutl,
A nine cei-ddorlaeth yn mhob ton
,( ufonydd hon 1 mlnnau,
'"Mae's Llwchr fel yn canu 'nawr
Y dyfroedd mawr a'r tonuu."
Mr. John Howell, J. P., of Abernyron,
the chuirmun of -the Curdlganahlre Count v
Council, has not much faith In the ef-
ncacy or the practlcabil tv of the reunion
of Christendom, in a powerful article In
the "Monthly Treasury" he declares that
"the cry for reunion which Is in the air
Is a very empty one, and the shibboleth
may with profit be allowed to drop Into
desuetude," und he adds: "Communities
must, or never will, work out their own
salvation. If the Umpired genius were
found who oould fit the hundred and onn
sects Into one huue machine, designed fut
ure reclamation of humanity, having of
necessity lh omnipotent hand and in
genuity to lire mid set tne parts together,
it would flv to nieces at the first en nfl
and in doing so would be more likely to
crush than to save munklntl. Further
more, by the amalgamation of the seids
the advantages derivable from whole
some rivalry would be lost. It Is time to
drop tne enervating cry or reunion, und to
adorn thut or 'Km illation and Brother
hood. This means that each sect sh.inld
be 'comrades' to the other In the truest
eense of the word thut the highest rules
of chivalry should be deserved, that one
should endeavor to outshine the other on li
ft n serving his Master, und that any signal
victory by the one should be u source
of genuine rejoicing 16 the other, us is the
victory or one regiment. In the same cam
paign, under the same geneinl, Invariably
to the other. This indeed would be
union."
0 Lake Erls'a Shores -Tha Captain's
W ife Talis tha Story-It Will
Interest Many People-
(From the Buffalo Evening Nwi.)
If you were to call at 27 Front avenua
you would find a pleasant elderly lady,
-Mrs. Captln Henesy by name. Her
kindly smile and joyous manner are to
nosmallextentdueto the escape ahe has
had. Her own words can better de
scribe her rescue and one can easily un
derstand her present happy condition
when they realize what ahe has gone
through. Hhe says: "About five
months ago I had an attack of sickness
which lasted for a week and since that
time I have been aubject at intervals
to similar attacks, some of which were
longer In duration. It Is hard for me to
deaorlbe how I suffered. The pain
would commence In my head, after
whioh It would seem to pass down my
body and settle in my back, my sides
ached, tny back ached, and I had a feel
ing of great distress in the bowels. The
Increased pain which seemed to come
from lying down, would be almost un
bearable, my face and stomach would
bloat up and 1 could hardly stand on
my feet, dlaziness made it almost im
possible; this feeling wus always with
me even after the violence of the attack
passed over. The last attack I had was
the worst, and was so bad I would not
have been able to tell this story but for
Doan's Kidney Pills. As soon as 1 com
menced their use I found Immediate re
lief. The pain in my back and sides
left me and the dizziness went with It;
the bloating In my face and body dis
appeared and all distress in my bowela
was gone. I have great faith In Doan's
Kidney Pills; in a short time they did a
great deal more for me than all tha
plasters and medicines which I had re
sorted to In seeking relief and cure. I
hope always to be able to procure
them."
