WALTEE, EAUUEST. WALTER EARNEST, tenor with the Haydn Quartet which will the Redpath-Brockway Chautauquas this season, has a voice which can only be described by use of the word "brilliant" His roice possesses a full roundness of tone which is most delightful, and this, together with his unexcelled technique, puts him in the very front rank of tenor singers. ICELAND'S EIDER FARMS. How the Ducks Are Guarded and Are Robbed of Their Down. The down of the eider duck Is more highly esteemed and brings a higher price than any other down.

In Iceland and the Vestmannaeyjar islands, where the duck nests, it is rigidly protected by law and by public'sentiment These ducks make their nests of down from their own breasts. They pluck it out with their bills and form it into a -circular mound which has the property of retaining heat to an extraordinary degree. If this down be removed the duck supplies a second and even a third lot from the same source. The eider farms in Iceland are frequently situated on little islands off the coast, covered with low hummocks. To protect the brooding ducks from the elements the Icelanders construct small shelters of rough stones.

On these farms, it is said, the ducks become so tame that any one with whom they are familiar may handle them 'without frightening them. Separate buildings on the Icelandic eider farms are devoted to the cleaning of the product Down clings tenaciously to anything on which it is thrown, a circumstance that is utilized in cleaning it There, are a number of frames of oblong shape, and along these numbers of strings are stretched loosely. The down is cast on these near one end, and a piece of wood is drawn rapidly backward and forward over the other end. The down clings to the strings, but all impurities, such as grass and seaweed, fall to the Week. MODES OF BURIAL Customs Vary'Vsstly In the Matter of Posture and Direction.

The modes of burial differ widely among various peoples, from the rudest ceremonies and methods of the wandering tribes to the ornate, impressive, reverent services of "the heir of all the ages in the foremost files of time." Among some the dead are buried lying, others sitting, as is the case with several of the Indian tribes, and instances are related where warriors or leaders in the nations have been buried seated upon their favorite war horses, as was done with the famous Blackbird, the chief of the once powerful Omahas. But there is a remarkable agreement of custom for the practice of placing the 'body east and west. Sometimes the body is placed with the head to the easfc and sometimes to the west It is held by certain writers that this custom is due to solar symbolism, and the head is placed to the east or to the west according as the dead are thought of in connection with the sunrise, the reputed home of the diety, or the sunset; the reputed home of the dead. There are, however, some tribes that lay their dead north and south, and -others bury men -svith the face to the north and women with the face to the south, while among some of the African tribes, if one happens to die away from his home, be is buried facing his native Louis Globe-Democrat STERN'S Seasonable Offering for.
