Sir,—It is almost, impossible in Wales to realise fully what is goilig on in France and the extent of the misery and RuffV.ring, not only caused by loss of life in actual warfare but. by the barbaric destruction of whole towns, villages, and homes. Nearly all the men are at the war and in numerous cases their wives and children have been driven by German i hordes out of their loved homes, their crops destroyed, and are now threatened with starvation, with the wiMer before them. There are, of coiii,e, relief funds in France and municipal oodiesdo their best to relieve distress, as in England but in France the need is very much greater, because mat y families have lost the bre-id winner in the P fighting and, in addition, have also lost the shelter of their homes and all their earthly possessions. Therefore is is difficult for the national ar-d local organizations to dea adequately with ail eases of WarJl, uiid disl tress. To and to ihe difficulty, it may he said that life in England, though necessarily in- juriously affected by this terrible war which has been forced on Lurope, i-. goillg on almost as in times of peace. In France, however, commercial and industrial lite has been brought tll a standstill and with it. the power to contribute as would otherwise be the case to relief funds. In the..e circumstances and in view of the fixec that France is beal Îng the brunt of this stupendous eonllict for European civilization, we earnestly appeal for lie formation in the United Kingdom of a Fiench reiief fund to supplement the efforts to relieve the distres-s of homeless families which are being made in France ifeif. With that object a committee has being formed at Aberystwyth headed by the French General Cou,ul for Wales, and incbidii g the Mnvor of Aber- ystwyth, the ,f tt,(,- Welsh University (Priticipij.l Itofjei,t,) Principal P;ys. the Rev- R J.

The funds" 11 ich we hope to obtain will be distributed among most, deserving cases and will include grants to Protestant institutions such as orphanages, etc which suffer specially in times of war It should not be forgotten that poor Protestant families scattered aruoug the large Cathode masses are in danger of being forgotten in the dis- tribution of relief in France, and we feel assured that it will he deeiiied a privilege for their Protestant brothers in England and Wales to lielp in the relief of their distress as well as in the relief of other cases of real distress wherever found.—We are, etc., L.

Last week, at Liverpool, an inquest %-as held on a woman who committed suicide by poisoning herself. She was under the delusion that everybody was persecuting her. There are many people who suffer from the delusion that they are persecuted or otherwise wrongly treated by people or by newspapers. This delusion is a form of swelled head. Persons who begin to think that they are being persecuted cannot too quickly realise that they are not of suffi- cient consequence even to be known, much less persecuted. A CHANCE. A wise suggestion has been made that the Prince of Wales might become honorary chief of one of the Welsh regiments. Do not my friends think that this is an appro- priate occasion when the Prince might be made an honorary native of the Princi- J pality by the Society' which exists for the purpose of creating honorary natives of the Principality? NOW IT IS OCTOBER. I do not know why, but autumn is in many ways more attractive to me than any of the other three seasons. There is an element of pathos in the autumn that appeals to me as the hope of spring, the richness and profusion of summer, and the baldness and bareness of winter do not appeal to me. The sunlight on the trees is very grand. Then the browning of the bracken on hill- sides and the varied aspects of the field* I a rot suggestive 01 much that it not easy to express. Autumn speaks to me of the life that way, of the lingering: liL that is, and of the new life that will bo. In the hedge- rows thelie are blanched grasses and here and there birds fly silently a.s if they knew that winter is coming. I often wonder why the beauty of the hedgerows is not more generally appreciated, and why words, grasses, and wild flowers are less admired than other growths. It is in autumn that the reefs in the bay are brilliantly yellow with sea-growths, and it is then that the sea appears to have most to say in many ways, but that voice- fulness may. perhaps, be more due to my own moods than to differences in the seasons. I will go into the lanes and woods nd fields and win do my be-it to fix in my mind the great and wonderful beauty which will be all around me so that in the dark days of winter I can recall it and make it as real as it is in October. I like to write about autumn. .4 GIGANTIC APPLE. Mi*. George Pyne, Devon, has picked in his garden what is believed to be the largest British apple on record. It is said to be a specimen of cooking applo. It I weighs nearly two pounds and a quarter. It is evidently a sort of pyneapplo spelt wrongly. OBSERVATIONS. It never troubles me that I am not understood by those who think they know me, as I do not always understand myself or-other people. l If there is such a place as hell and I have I to go there, I will try to make the best of it, as I do here both for myself and other creatures. The war has brought into my life an element of hopelessness with which I am eon tending to the best of my ability. Truth is stranger than fiction because truth covers the whole realm of exist- ence, while fiction is confined to the narrow limits of human imagination. I It does not require the horrors and terrors of war to teach the wise that the I Almighty docs not suspend the laws cf the universe in answer to prayers of even I bishops and archbishops. I As far ns I can see there it no waste in nature, for all things in the world fie I always being remade, or equivalents of them. The main work of my lif". has been to I learn what other people think and fee!, a.nd to express their thoughts and feelings, not to convert them from what they are to something else. I No individual, however self-important, is any more necessary to humanity than one drop of water is necessary to the eceans of the world. ESSENTIA Li. V THE SAME. I do not ask you to reveal to me That which we know is better left untold. But I will tell you what I think and feel, Believing that we two are near akin. That which I longed and hoped for has not been, t And what I dreaded most has come to me. All this I have no doubt has been your lot In secret ways that smiles and silence hide. I am not pleading for your sympathy, Nor do I think that I can give you help. All I am anxious to make known to you Is that our joys and griefs are much the same, And that what you have lost 1. too, have lost And what in life you missed I too have missed. I want to show you there is fellowship Although, God knows, we are wide worlds apart. That which you havo to hear I have to bear, And that which brings me grief brings grief to you. In subtle vvay.s»we do not understand— Which shews that we are one in ways divine. I All I am trying to corurey to you Is that though far apart we are the same, And though our daily lot may differ much Wo are essentially identical. A COMING ErEST, In less th:111 forty-nine years from now I shall ha.ve been working on this paper a century, and it is my intention, if all is then going well to celebrate that event by a public demonstration when I expect that long-iooked-for Cymmrodorion medal will be presented to me. It will have to be about as big as a dinner plate, as thick as a brick, and must be made of solid gold, I have not yet decided who is to make the presentation, if it is made, but I have fully made up my mind i? that medal is not then given tr me I will refuse to have i't as long as I live. There is, as my friends; will agyeej a limit to a man's patience, and if my century of work on this paper.is, not then Tecognised by the presentation of I that medal I will roost likely say something^ nasty about the officials of the Cymmro- dorion Society. BACKWARD AND FORWARD. I have been looking backward. Perhaps it is the ar which has caused me to re- call the past, especially the year 1854 when the Crimean War was creating the same I sort of interest that the present war is | causing. It is very curious how the pre- j sent war recalls to my mind all sorts of j incidents which had passed out of my j memory. j It i.s not the war of 1854 that I want to write about. What interests me is the j outlook which goes back sixty years or 1 more. happened to mo hi all sorts of ways during those years. I am not going to give a long account of what has happened. I am often asked to write something about the facts and in-! cidents of my life, but I abstain becausei many of them are so incongruous that they seem liks wild inventions. I once wrote ten or a dozen short stories and I thought I would put some of the facts of my life in them, but the- facts were so strange chat I had to leave them out. What I now want to show is that if you are asked to look at this or that incident in the past I it may seem incredible, but if you had the whole facts before you the remarkable in- cident would seem reasonable and would be intelligible. What is true of rny life, no doubt, is true of yours. To look back over sixty or seventy vearf; brings into the memory many events so i strange that it is hard to believe that they ever happened, but they have happened, and it is interesting to trace them and to see how they developed. To sit here looking back from 1914 to 1854 is curiously interesting. I myself can scarcely believe that what has happened is net a. sort of dream. Perhaps it is. I have J passed through many stages of .social, in- dustrial, and other forms of life, and it is not alays easy to convince those who I live in houses unfit for human habitation that I lived in houses of that kind when ) I was young and that even now I suffer II from the effects of the consequences of life in those hovels. There are many strange things that have happened to me, as many strange things have, no doubt, happened to you, my readtv. What is happening to me is that the remaining shreds of hope are being driven out ot my life by this war, but a sort of compensation is coming to me by what I may call the resurrection in new I forms of the hopes and joys and ambitions I, of the past. You ask me to say what I see when I look forward. Well, what I see before me that is most attractive is reLt and for-g >t- fillness. I do ncito mean that I am too weary to live, but all ambitions and hopes, and rivalries, and anticipations have died down. There is now nothing much for mo to look forward to. I am like an old soldier who on the IW1.r,.h to the fro it sets first one and then another of his com- rades drop off until at last he has a sense that he is almost alone. One of the re- sults of old rge, to me, is that as the years pass I want less and less. I do not meaT that I am unhappy. 0, no, I am not un- happy. 1 am at this moment looking at the sunshine on the yellowing leaves of the trees and I see the great beauty. Rivalries are dead. Fears do not count. Yearnings have ceased. I just go on from day to day and take things as they come without anxiety, or passion, or fear, or worry. I like to lock forward and backward and one of the forward outlooks that interests me is what will be thought of me by those who are now far younger than I was when the soldiers were marching from Scotland through Lancaster to go to the seat of war in the Crimea. I am not fooi enough to I think that in the future I shall be widely remembered, but I think th-ùre are little children, bless them, who sixty or seventy ysars hence will remember the old man who noticed them when they were so young that a penny or twopence was wealth to them. WOMEN. In a recent appeal to Wales by the Par- liamentary Recruiting Committee there is I the following:—"We appeal for the gracious service of OUT womanhood." Why- make a parliamentary appeal to women who are kept outside the sphere of citizen- ship and are even denied equal legal rights wIith me.) t, Of course, women are giving inoro than gracious services, and there ought to be an Act of Parliament passed I providing that there shall be no differences between the rights and privileges of men and women. SHAMS I I was looking in a shop window the other day when I saw some shells which were saJd to be Aberystwyth pearl shell ash trays." They were ash trays and they I wen- shells, but there are no shells of that ( kind at Abrrv.stwvth. The town is not II helped by that sort of humbug. .1 WELSH MEMBER. I have not. seen anything in the papers lately about Mr. E.. T. John, M.P. I am beginning to feel anxious lest his schemes for the improvement of Wales may be lost sight of. Could not Sir J. D. Rees ask a sight of. Could not Sir J. D. Rees ask a question or two? .4 PRESCRIPTION. Two men one night had been having a good time rest morning found themselves in a police station. One of them was suffering badly from stomach pains, and an officer asked the chum what he thought could be got for the one who ill and had some money. "Well," f the chum, "I think a stiff glass of whisky put into a stiff glass of brandy and then poured into a pint of beet" would put him all right. This internal remedy was not applied. THE REiSOX WHY. Somebody asked a man why he put his hands in his pockets. "Well," he said, "I have two reasons. I have nothing eke to put in them, and I dare not put them in other people's por-kets, for fear of being copped." The Coiv-t. J .0.

BARMOUTH Discovery —Mr. John Jones, Trawsder Farm, h 11'. discovered thesknIl and antlers of the red deer on land near Liana be r. Some few years ago a-ntlers were disoov- erod near this spot by Mr Richard Lewis, IJanabe; and were sold to the National Museum for £25. Another pair of red cleer antlers are in the Museum of the University College of Wales at Aber- l ystwyth, which were purchased for less than HS Tuuny sailings.

NOTES FROM ABER- AYRON. Dr. T. GarfielH Evans of Port Ti,lhof, third .f-ou of Mr and Mrs Evan.- Milfori House has been selected .with thiee ot hers out, of scores £ f candidates to be surgeon to the Welsh Horse Regt. Possessing somewhat a unique experience, I am ible tt) testify that bad news sell« the newspaper fir better than good news. When ,H rumour has reached late one evenmsof a d 18*81 er to British troops, or the sinking of a British cruiser, the rush for newspapers next morning is quite phenomenal. If on the other nana, the rumour is of a correspondingly important character relative to British vic- tones, the rush for newspapers is not remarkable. People will look ovlkr one another s shoulders into a single newspaper, and go awav happy. f Th's confirms a humourous passage in the charming book of personal reminiscences, just published by the Rev David En wardes M.A. of I.;rynfryu, who for twenty-five years was headmastei of Denstone College. He refers to incidents in the year 1900. when nothing waNofintert-stexpcpt news from the of war in South Africa. He records how a newspaper agent not far from Burton on- Trent, who teletrraj-hed to the head office of a newspaper at If the rumour 13 true that the HI Hbh Armv is annihilated end 20 extra papers to-morrow morning," and adds the wiiter, the "Britiah Army was not annihilated, and the newsagent was done out of his profits on the 20 extra papers." The book referred to is one of unique interest, not only for the merit of it.m cont emn, put also for the personality of the author. Although it is written mostly in the fbst person singular, itcontains no trace of egoism, and that is a ra.e achievement. One is unconsciously nllul cd to feel a keen interest ion every person naiiei-1, and they are many and in every circumstancc however Trivial. The growth of tiie school immediately becomes a matter of concern to the reader—rising from the foundation stonn of Dvustone Colleare laid on October 22nd, 1868. until it looms before the mmd s eye as H magnificent fane, worth £ '100,000 and accommodating 300children, and reading between the lines, NlrEctwat-cles uiust have been chiefly instrumental in peopling the great and successful school, and placing it on a level with the greatest schools of England. The bubbling good humour of the author eftervesces through the whole of rhe book, and the readers who have had the privilege of knowing Mr Edwardes will feel an aug- mented pleasure in perusing the record of his life from year to year, and will wonder more and more as he moves along. The b.re facts some aro,, entrancing, for example, — My father was barely medium height, hub strongly built, with broad shoulders and everything except. the height indicative of strength. In his youth I believe he had been a good aihlete. I have seen him vauiiing an ordiiifiiy gate after he began to cqunt his second half century. He never Igtirnt to fear anything." Andaflin-" I came down to Crynfryn on July :51st, and mv books and furniture arrived from the station on Angust 20th in ten carts and waggons. That very mominvr I had cume across at the top of house, the old box in which all my goods and chattels were contained when f first went from home on August 25th, 1857." That was about 50 years previously. All who know Mr Edwardes hope he will go on writing in the same style about any- thing or everything. In the meantime it would be interesting to know why he writes his name Edwardes.

The sooner the nien of the country prove to the German Emperor by their presence with the Colours that they are in earnest, and every man a VOLUNTEER, the sooner he will realise that this Empire is united and determined to succeed in the campaign he has forced uuon us, and the sooner the war will be finished. 1 EDWARD J.
