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.

CAPTAIN W. A. MAY
RELATES A LESSON

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

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.
