OPEN EVENINGS, LLAETH BUWCHOD Y FRENINHES Miss May Griffiths Superintends the Royal Dairy at Balmoral. GENETH LANWEDD 0 SIR BENFR0 Her llutlrr in Greatly Admired By thu Ituuen nud the other Members of the Itoyal Houseliold"At the (Special Hcquest of Her iMnjenty Her Numerous College Certificates Adorn the Wall, of the Itoyal Dairy. One who signs herself "OKven," In the Curd iff Mall, has this to say about the royal dulry: "I have seen many a model and working dairy, but every thing considered, the royal dairy at lialmoial beats everything I have wit nessed In that way. In point of order and arrangement the whole extabllsh ment, of course, leaves nothing to be desired. 'What strikes you most Is Its ideal simplicity, so that even in the very milk and butter you seem to per ceive the stamp and Image .of the roy al owner. The temperature is delicious a kind of vernal coolness pervades the air, 'sweet as- the breath of kins that feed in the meadows.' The dairy is situated about the center of the ex tensive grounds which surrounds the royal castle, and from which there is an exquisite view of valley and moun atin scenery. The entire construction is of grey granite, surrounded by a massive veranda of the same, while the interior is of white-tiled walls, with white marble and pink granite connects the model dairy with the work ing dairy, where the produce for her ma jesty's table is daily maufactured. Thu skimmed milk of which there Is a large quantity, is made into skim cheese, which in sold at a very rea sonable price to the inhabitants of the surrounding districts, and is always in great demand. Everything is con structed as conveniently as can be for carrying on the work of the dairy. A herd of A ry shires is kept, some of which are much thought of by their royal mistress. The byre, or cow house. Is kept scrupulously clean, so that altogether the queen has quite a scientific-principled dairy, even in the north of Scotland." "I am not going to tell you much more about the queen's dairy, but it may Interest your readers to learn something about the young Welsh lady wno now presides at this model estab' llshment at Hulmoral. Miss May Orlf flths may be said to have been born into the special work which she has adopted as a profession at her homt 1'ennally Court.- Pembrokeshire where a large herd of pure Castlemartins I kept, giving good average milk. As far as is possible with old-fashioned outhouses, everything is carried on In the best way to give good results In the dairy The greatest care is taken that the milch cows, eat nothing which will Impart an unpleasant and objec tionable taste to the milk or butter: everything likely to cause difficulty in the process of manipulation is careful ly avoided, and the greatest judgment is exerciseu in making the rood au petlsing for the dairy cooks. Then, again, the milkmaids have to abide by their rules, which for years have been strictly adhered to, more especially since the day of scientific dalrvine. Ohe good rule' Is that every milker should wash his or her hands previous to beginning to milk and after operat ing on each cow: this alone Is the se cret ot success for the turning out of ine so-called 'gllt-edued butter.' Four time In one weak lost winter Miss Griffiths carried off first prize for her butter; also special prizes fur the best butter in the show. The milk Is taken direct to the working dulry, and run through an Alexandra or .Victoria cream-separator after each milking, only Riitllcient fresh milk being kept to supply the dally customers, senile of whom have received their dairy pro duce from this dairy for over thirty eight yeurs. The quuntity of cream for sale during the day is cooled and put aside, while another portion Is taken for making cream cheese, which Is cent dally to Tenby, and Is considered a great delicacy. With these uro sent some dozens of little brown1 Jars of neuuiirul thick cream, which me daily prepared, neatly labelled with the name of the dairy, and tied down with Kllver paper. These Jars are of various sizes, and are eagerly sought after by sum mer visitors. The remaining port Inn of cream Is ripened for churning, either naturally or artificially, according as the temperature and time of year de mands. As a rule, the butter is always ordered beforehand, and the supply Is never equal to the demand. The but ter Is never touched with the human hand, and is well known, not only In Wales, for weekly quantities are for warded to customers in London and to other Knglish centres. Almost nil the modern dairy appliances find their wajj hi me j-enany court uatry on approval, where they are given a fair trial. The butter is done entirely by the Misses Orllllths, who spare no effort in Irving to satisfy the pulates of their custcm-4 ers. sirs. Uritllths-wisely allowed Jtr two youngest daughters to complete their school life at dairy institutes, rot with the intention of taking up dairy teaching, but to set at the best and most perfect Mays of managing their home dairy. They spent their time chiefly at Berkeley, England, and r.t Aberystwyth, gaining a knowledge of both butter and cheese making. In 1M1 Miss May Griffiths went out Into the world to Impart some of the knowl edge she had gained In the science and art of dairying, making her first ap pearance as a teacher of dairying un der the Worcestershire county council, whence she curried several valuable testimonials. In 1S92 Henviekshlre sent in a request for her services, to which she compiled, and during her sojourn there she published a very neat little book on the "Science and Art of Dairy ing and the Construction and Manage ment of the liutter Dairy." This little volume found a ready sale, und the Northerners were quite satisfied with the lectures and demonstrations given them by Miss Griffiths. Miss Cecily Grifllths followed her sister's footsteps ot an eurly date, when they traveled together, carrying on their dulry class es throughout Selkirk, Peebles, Jlox l.urgh. nnd part of Lanarkshire, so that Scotland has been fortunate In getting the services of the Misses Grifllths un til quite lecently, when they were spending a quiet time at their Welsh home reigning supreme over their own dairy. The gulden-tinted pats of but ter bear the monogram of "J. M. G.." and the neat appearance of these Is sufficient to entice the most fastidious palate. The ornamental butter which Is frequently ordered for festive oecu lons in the county, usfl also for Lon don tables is. Indeed, a sight worth seeing. This was proved only last week, when Miss May Griffiths (now of tha Itoyal Dairy at Halmora) had the hon our of making some of this "work of art" for her majesty's luncheon table, which was greatly admired by all the royal guests, so much so that her maj esty, accompanied by her Royal High ness Princess Henry.of Batten herg.call ed at the model dairy and thanked Miss Grifllths personally for the marvellous piece of work they so much admired. Both royal visitors complimented Mis Griffiths on making beautiful liutter since her arrival at Balmoral, a fort night ago. At the special request of her majesty, Miss arllllths sent to Pen ally court for her valuable and numer ous certificate! which she has obtained from the various colleges for knowledge of butter and cheese making. These, too, greatly pleased the queen, and they ut this moment adorn the Itoyal Dairy ot Hulmoral." THK WELSH KINGS OF OLD. If we accepted without question all the statements that have come down to us in manuscripts which pretend to throw ligth upon the early history of our island, we should be forced to he conclusion that In thv matter of dura tion the reign of Queen Victoria was altogether put into the shade by that of some of the ancient British kings. In ono of the Gwilym I'ughe manu scripts, compiled fnun eurllf-r records In the year 174. there is a list of the kings of Britain, with the number of yeurs each of them reigned. The list contains the names of eighty-nine kings, from Brutus of Troy to Cud waladr, and the length of time as signed to some of the reigns Is truly astonishing. Thus Kmrys, who pro ceded I'ther Pendragon, the father of Arthur the Great. Is credited with hav ing reigned for eighty-three years. Cas wallnn is said to have reigned 117 yeurs, whilst, to crown all, the last king of all is declared to have reigned for the almost incredible period of 111 years. And of him the chronicler says: "f'ndwaladr the Blessed, the last king of British lineage in the Isle of Bri tain. . There came through God's ven geance excessive scarcity, famine, and diath Into the Isle of Britain. Cud waladr was obliged to escape Into Ar mnrlca. and It was at that time that Saxbrwaga came Into Britain with 4uo. ono of the men of Germany with him for the purpose of invading the island. Cadwaladr was counselled by God to go to Home, and there he lived virtu ously and died holily. And thus ter minated the reign of the British king in the Isle of Britain." PIUTCHARD MORGAN, M. P. With reference to the statement that Pritchard Morgan. M. P., was going on a visit to China, and to the rumor that the visit was concerned with a mission of Huron Rothschild's, our London cor respondent, who called upon Mr. Mor gan, was Informed that there was ab solutely no foundation for either state ment. Mr. Morgan, however, Is shortly leaving England, and will visit New York. After that he Is uncertain as to his movements, but the Journey, which will be purely a pleasure trip. Is being undertaken in order to escape the cold weather we are now experi encing. Mr. Morgan is at present very much troubled with a severe cold, and for the past week or so has been unable to take any food. NOTES. What wonderful changes have taken place In the eisteddfod within the last fifty years. At the great Abergav enny eisteddfod In October, IWiS, we read that the following choirs were present, viz.: Llnnover, consisting of ten voices, and conducted by Mr. Grif fiths; Ebbw Vale, numbering fifteen voices, and led by Mr. Williams; Bryn niawr, numbering six voices, conducted by Mr. Lewis, nnd the Abercarn chols. ten In number under the leadership of Mr. J. Lewis. Four choirs, with a gross muster of forty-one voices. One of the big choirs of the present day could sup ply thirty such choirs as those, yet we are told that choral singing has not progressed since those days. Welshmen are good musicians, fair ly good poets, and very Inferior ar tiststhat (says the Berminghnm Ga zette) is what study, experience and Professor llerkomer combined lead us to understand. The professor Is anx ious that Wales shall some day produce a president of the Itoyal Academy, or, at all events, that the aspiration af ter excellence In art shnll be more real than It has, hitherto been. The Ga zette adds: "We know the capability of the Welsh, and, like Professor ller komer, we are prepared to trust them to do well If once they can be aroused." It Is stated that the Juanese au thorities have commissioned a num ber of agents to visit the leading steel works of South Wales to find the beat models. This reminds a correspondent of a little-known incident in the ca reer of William Chawshay, the Iron king. He was visited on one occas ion at Cyfarthfa by a Trench gentle man of polished and agreeable man ners, who remained as his guest, und was a very entertaining companion. But the Frenchman always got up be fore Mr. Crawshay, nnd one day the iron king got up early also, and going to his new furnace, of which he was exceedingly proud, detected two legs slightly protruding from the bottom. "Hullo," he roared; "who's there?" and out crept the Frenchman with a note book and rule. He had been taking di mensions! There wns one less at the dinner table that day. We are told thut a Scranton gentlemnti went through the same experience In the 1 ow lais 'Iron works a few years ago. But he brought with him to Scranton what his "little experience had cost him over there," and a little more, too. At least. It is stated on good au thority, that better work of a slinl lur kind is turned nut in Scranton. Trevlthick, or Trevethle, one of the earliest pioneers of the motor car, was a Cornishman as the name suggests). On his mother's side he was related to the Llewellans. whose arms show that hey were descended from the ancient Prince of Wales. It was Tre vethlck that constructed In 1S04 the Pen warden tramwav, which was con sidered a great engineering feat at the time. Had he carried out his wish to remove his family from Cornwall to Wales that he might give more atten tion to the locomotive of this country might have had the benefit of railways and locomotives twenty years earlier. Crawshay Bailey had n motor, She traveled like the devil's daughter; It was go six miles an hour. And much quicker If you shove her, Was. you ever see, was you ever see, Such un auto-car before? She was want to myn.l to Brighton; All the horses she did frighten, Askin' what this smell do mean, She was so full of puratlln. Was you ever Bee, was you ever see. Such an auto-ear before? AH the .peoples they was frantic, To behold this thing romantic; Farmer Hodge said It was shockln'. Was the way the ground was rockin. Was you ever See, was you ever see. Such an auto-ear before? With both hands they held their noses. You may guess what all the cause Is; Ai d the man that goes Inspectin', Talks there mest be dlslnfectln. Was you ever see, was you ever gee, Such an auto-car before? TIIItEATICAI. TIIMXGS. Ellen Terry Is very III. Lota is In her fiftieth year. Maxine Klllott has secured a divorce.

The latest musleal fad In British society circles Is for ladles to learn the bagpipes. Balnt-Saens, who hus several unproduced operas, says he will write no more for the stage. Among the latest "teams" for the vaude ville stage are Slgnor Perug'.nt and Mme. Coterelly. Oscar Hammersteln says that Olympla, New York, must take In II LOW a Week be fore It pays a prollt. Nat Goodwin's wife, alleging marital Inlldellty, has decided to force till own discontinued suit to an Issue CAPTAIN W. A. MAY RELATES A LESSON His Speech at the Wilkes-Barre Board ol Trade Banquet. CONCERTED ACTION IS NECESSARY f Individual Advancement is thu Only Aim of Hoard of Trade Mem bers, the Result Will be Individual and not cncralIn 1'nioii There is Strength WilkesUtirr!'s and Scranlon's ilusincss Interests Should Pull Together. Captain W. A. May, the progressive president of Scrnnton's progressive board of trade, responded to u toast last night at the banquet of the Wilkes-Barre bourd of trade at the Wy oming house.' His toast topic Invited him to give some printers on how to successfully conduct a board of trade. He did It. When is considered the extent to which Scranton owes Its advancement to its board of trade. Captain May s address is full of interest. He said: Mr. Toastmaster and Gentlcoien. We apple, late the compliment implied In the toast assigned, and I trust that we can answer It with the same kindliness you have shown. Our board comes so far short of our I, leal that it seems out of place to speak of what It has accomplished, ex cept possibly to illustrate a point or two; and I would prefer that you have in min.i an !! ill board rather than uny which we may know. NECESSITY OF A BOARD. , To successfully run a board the neces sity tor sucn an organization must be ap preciated and you must have the right kind of material oet of which to build It. To fully appreciate a board some things must be considered which do not appear upon the surface, nor do we often hear of them In connection with such an organ ization. Because of the genius of our gov ernment there Is a necessity for associa tions of some kind to assume some of the duties which in monarchies and empires are taken by rulers. To Illustrate. Au gustus Caosar found Home a town of brick; he left It a city of marble. And Iteme was the state. What one of our many heads of government would It be desirable for us to request to play Caesar In rebuilding any of our cities? Louis Napoleun so beautllled Paris, widening its streets, building magnitlcent buildings, and decorating U. that it was transformed. And Paris was France Who would be our third Napoleon In this respect? Of course In no other woldd we want him. Frederick William, father of the Great Frederick, upon whose doings, as a foundation, rest the present power of Prussia, wishing to populate Prussian Lithuania, Invited, among others, the per secuted of Saltzliurg to come to that sec tion of his dominions. While those cf Salzburg wnlkcd the l.'ou miles he onll their expenses, so much per day for th in, woman and child. He saw thut thev wr, provided with food, that the houses and barns were erected, the mills ready to run by the time of their arrival: supplied the farming utensils, the tools for the arti sans, und furnished the animals for the farms, even to the cock with his harem of hens. Mark the contrast In our treatment of emigrants. We receive them, it Is trm ; but with little favor; If thev get work well and good; If not. they starve, or till the almshouses, when they could be made a source of wealth and strength to the country. Our government cannot do us was done by the rulers I have numcd and so some one else must perform these du ties. Now who shall do them? Not that 11 falls within the province of any organi zation to do all of these things, but to do things akin to them which can be discreet ly und wisely done. SCOPE OF A BOARD, There are also improvements which ths municipalities would gladly make If thev could, but they are prevented ty the laws which will not permit the accumulation of an Indebtedness greater than a certain f roportion of the taxable value of proper- a good rirlrlctlon, Indeed, but ono which prevents a city from playing the parental role If they would. The Improve ments, however, must be made. Home one must make them. Who shall make them? Where there Is to lie a profit de. rived from the Improvement, such us street cars, water works, electric light companies, then men are very anxious to make them; but where It Is for the benellt of the community at lurge and where there tun be no direct prollt derived from It there must be some organization made up of Individuals large hearted enough, patriotic enough, to take upon themselves these duties w hich cannot he avoided, nut only to make the community in which liny live prosperous, but to make the govern ment. Ideal in some respects, cumjilcle In others. There is nothing (and when I say "noth ing" 1 refer to the absence of pecuniary gain) to be gained by doing this. It ap peals to the better element, the higher mo tive in a man. Now, have we that man hood? This naturally brings us to the question whether we have material from which to make such an organization, and It Is a much more diltleuH question to an swer. The whole trend of American life Is to the advancement of the individual; the getting on, the self aggrandizement of each one is the controlling American Idea not to care for poslerrity, not to take care of the neighbor, not the general ad vancement of the community. .Many a timu have 1 heard the expression, "We have coal enough to last until I die, an, let my children take care of them si Ives." The very diabolism of seltlshness to quote a ministerial phrase. This only Illustrates what I have said; aid while It has u tendency to make development In certain directions It Is abnormul and leads to wastefulness and will lead to worse. GLORY THAT IS LACKING. In a monarchy there Is some one whose glory tests In the future. It is the fam ily of the ruler, and he takes care that the forests are preserved, that mines are carefully l.innaged, thai, the natural re sources of the country are so handled, that not only will the best results he ob tained at the present time, but the future will be taken care of. Today the forests of Germany. are more valuable than they were one hundred years ago. with the rev enues from them constantly Increasing This glory we lack to a degree because everything is the present with us and re fers only to the Individual. This must be modified and there most be an union of Individuals patriotic enough, far enough above the level of the ordinary nun of to day, to hrlnir about broader results. if we cannot of ourselves reach such a plane as that the trend of events will compel us to whether we will or not, or bring disaster. We have had Indications of dissatisfaction and the growing feeling of unrest among the. multitude because trfey do not feel thnt they get a fair share; anil this feeling wdll he heightened If we contin"e our efforts simply for our individual selves. It must lie changed; It must be broadened. We must become pa triotic and broad-minded for the preserva tion of the public anil the rule of the state. Now. a board of trade (so called for want of a better name), or an organization com posed of men with loftv Ideals, who, for getting themselves and the present, but looking to the future and the welfare of the town In which they live and the region which they occupy, you can easily fee can he the greatest power It Is possible to have; and we, of Wllkt s-Harre and Scran ton. can do no better than to get this feel ing ourselves and to Instill It into nil those with whom we come In contact. We have a tnagiilllivnt Held, and It is more neces sary for "s to broaden out than for most communities because the natural resource upon which we depend is of short life, and then we must depend upon what we have created, it gives us more of a motiv to broaden out than other communities would have. After all, what arc natural advantages without men? The hlue waters of tho Mediterranean still lovingly embrace the shores of Greece. The saint) green forests cover the side of Olympus. There are the sumefertlle plains and life Inspiring air; but the men of the Pelo ponnesus are touo und Greece Is not what It was. HEKI) SHOULD 1 113 GIVEN. Now, gentlemen, will you not give the.se hints thrown out some thought, and, giv ing them thought, be Impressed by their importance, although so poorly stated, and make your board of trade us ,ve shall try to make ours the best of its kind in the stale. There will be no rival ry between us. I think the time has conio for rivalry not Ui lie thought of between our cumniiMiltles. What is for the wel fare of the one Is for the welfare of the other; and we could, by Ik ing untied in spirit, give such a stimulus In many legitimate 'things that we could stand far ahead of any two valleys similarly situated. As individuals we may not bo rewarded or remembered, we may lie completely forgotten, but that has noth ing to do with it. It Is not that we aro personnally known for but It is what tho eomtnuiiiiy is known for, what our neigh borhood Is known for. Its elevation, its superiority over everything tlso that should be the end und ulm of our ambi tion. If our board has been noticeably suc cessful It Is because we have had at least a few men with breadth of spirit tilled with unselfishness. That we have such I know. The success of our last vetitui", the Hoard of Trade building, was ma le possible bv the high thought and pure motive of about n dozen men who helped the enterprise with no expectation of re ward, and .In some cases with self denial and embarrassment to themselves. I am glad thus to mention anil to honor" them. For details, for the monotony of doing, we have of course our secretary, and I trust I shall not mortify him if I say In hi presence that we are not at all ashamed of him. Klicumntism Cured in a Day.
