Welsh Tit-Bits. w I Neu Wreichion Oddiar yr By CADRA WD. CARADAWC AP BRAN ) (Continued.) ft must be admitted that none oft the British Triads have any claims to a written existence before the seventh century. Many of them bear internal evidence of having come into written evistence as late as the ninth, and a few even as lata aa the twalvtb centary. Such of them as refer to Caradawc and to Bran in connected sense, are amongst the earliest. They are eon. cise, exact, and consistent with abemselvel.e well as with other acknowledged historical facta, and assist materially in explaining difficult points in Greek and Latin histories. They are, of course, open, like all other ancient writings, to criticism, and must be taken, aa regards their testimony, for what they aT worth, when their claims have been duly weighed and considered. Upon the whole, so far as they apply to Cara- dawc and to Bran, th3 balance of evidence na believe to be decidedly in favour of their correct. ness, both general and particular. Toomnoo praise cannot be given to the form in which those Triads ate arranged a a an assist- ance to the memory. It would be difficult to eoncevie of a better method for handing down tradition than the method here employed. The Triads are easily learned, from the faet of their being sententious in plan terse in expression aDelateat in arrangement. The mind is not burdened by them, nor the memory over-taxed. The contents cf each Triad flow on in suoh a perfectly natural manner that it is a pleaaarabfe exercise to get them by heart, and conasquently they were enshrined in the memories of generation after genera, tion. The earliest portion of the history of every nation must necessarily depend much on tradition for its facts, and it is greatly in favour of the truth of the Triads that they contain so few statements, compara- tively, that test the faith or vex the reason of the ontical historian Of Bran ap Llyr Llediaetb, chief of the Scores, Triad No. IS reports as fonowa :— The three holy tribes of the Isle of fVitain— first, the tribe of Bran, the Blessed, the son of Iilyc Iilediaeth, which Bran first brought the Christian faith into the Isle from Rome, where be bad been a prisoner through the treachery of Aregwedd Foddawg, the daughter of Afarwy ab Llfd, etc., etc." There H will be observed t'lat Caradawc is not mentioned at all, and the tatnrai conclusion would be that Afuwf had betvayed Bran himself to the Romans. But Trad 38 explains the matter by implication, aDd couples Caradawc with his father The three holy prints of the Isle of Britain -firat, Bran, the Blesied, ap Llyr Llediaeth, "bo linG brought the faith in Christ to the Cymric from Rome, er. he bad been for seven years aa a hostage tff his son, Caradawc, who had been taken there a/ciioner through the treachery of Aregwedd Foddawg, etc., ete." Thu* we have 7>ran »poken of separately, and in flonneclion his son. Of Caradawc him- self we fipd th* following :— Triad 17-Tba three principal elected chiefs of the Isle f Britain, first, Caswallawn ap liludd, etc.second, Caradawc ap BraD, ete., ate." L Again Triad 34- The tbres undoubtedly greatest tilers of Britain, second, Caradawc ap Bran. eta, etc., when he bad laid upon him the duty of iiefaadfng the wholeÎlland against the Ro. etc." Caqdawo is again rsforrea to as baling bis fleoks and herds in Glamorgan, where tbey eenrtftaly would not have been^had he been the eon it Cynfelyn, whose dominions were in the eas'^rn parts of Britain. The consistency of the Trads on this matter is perfect, and the qneation tfen is simplified into the inquiry, which author- ity has in it the most probability, that of a forego historian, unacquainted with the forms of government in Britain or the united and con- sistent testimony of a nnmber of I British TraditionsP We tbink the latter outweighs Dion Castin, so completely that we can have no hesitation in stating our preference for their testimony. Tacftus, the Roman historian, who must have been acquainted with persons who bad seen Caradawc, and who was over in Britain when his father-in-law, the eminent general Agricola ruled in the island, is eloquent in praise of the greatness of Caradawc in bis history of that period. He states That the fame of Caradawc had spread aU over the Roman empire as one of the most redoubtable foes the Roman arm bad ner to contend witb. His name was a hooae- word in tbe city of Rome, and mothers Bilenced their babies by threatening them with tbe name of Caractaeus." The Emperor Claudins was greatly rejoiced on hearing oE bis captnle, and ordered a triumph—a Roman holiday—of unusual splendour, to be held on the day of Ciradawc's entry into Bome a captive. Tacitus staten that the splendour of the pageant was as great as when Lyphex was led a captive by Soipio, and Perseus by Lucius Paulus. Claudins magnani- monsy admitted that Rome had never met so able, so Rreat, or so successful a general as Caradawc since the days of Mithridatos, King of Ponttu. The Roman populace, ever ready to keep holiday, and never satiated with Bight- seeing, aa described by Shakespeare, slightly part4>bt&sed Climbed up to wall and battlement. To tower and window aye, to chimney top, Their children in their arms, and there tbey s&t The livelong day, in patient expectation, To see great Caradawc pass tbe streets of Rome. And when they saw his chariot but appear, Did they not give an univetseJ shout, That Tiber trembled underneath her banks To hear the replication of tbe sound- Made on her concave shores." Great, indeed, was the day, and splendid was the ahow. All the troops available in Rome were underarms. Claudius was seated on a resplendent throne, with his impress, the infamous Aggrip- pina by bis aide. Around and near to him were the senators of Rome, now becoming mere crea- tures of the Emperor's will. All distinguished Romaas, both natives and foreign, had Places allotted lo them. The procession, which was everywhere received with unbounded apphtuse, then marched past the Emperor. First came a number of captured Silures from Gwlad Gwent a fiforganwg, dauntless to the last. After them followed the spoils of the Britannic war, a number of British chariots and other booty of a novel and unu&aal kind to Roman eyes. Then, Blowly and e'nely. are led past Caradawc's brothers 1 followed by his wife, daughter, and other femule relations, and lastly, accompanied by the most deafening shouts, the cynosure of all eyes, Caradawc himself. What mind cap contemplate this exhibition without being moved what heart is not touched when reflecting on the thoughts which mast hive passed through that noble brain on this—to him ,—dark and fatal day. The Silurian captive soldiers were made to kneel before the Emperor, Csxadawd'srelations and household as they singly filed past bent their beads, but Caradawc himself was erect throughout. His noble and most distinguished bearing moved even the thoughtless and delighted Romans to respect,and even mani- fest their admiration of him. He üems to move more like a conqueror than a prisoner. With Age eye he scans the crowds over, exhibiting no iMltadng, no humiiatiug fear. He looked tbe Emperor full in the face, no sign of Submission visible: no cringing, no appealing looks or gestures. He halts, prepares to speak, and the Emperor orders silence to be proclaimed. Then, with the ntmCft dignity and oratorical race, be poured out a speech which has bewitched the world by its simpicity and grandeur from that day to this, and bids fair to be immoital. (To be concluded Galt week.)

SCIENCE AND HEALTH y Dr. ANDREW WttSON, F.R.S.E., So. Infant Health. More and more conclusively is it being shown that sanitarians are wise in attacking the health problems of the nation in the person of the in. fant. Often have I pointed oat in this column that whatever may be the causes of degeneration anting in later life, we must, to be consistent, ensure that the yoang human being enters life as a healthy unit. Grapes do not grow on thistles, aod you cannot expect a healthy adnlt to develop from a weakly child. At present tho air is lull of such topics relating to infancy, Including discussions on the causes of the bigh death-rats (SBpeolally in big centres) of young children, and also the question of feeding infants on milk supplied by municipalites, under conditions which sh" II ensure their being pro- perly nourished. Thbjse are topics which are all- important, but they require and demand a long period of time for the realisation of their im- portance on the part of the great mass of the public. Once public opinion is aroused to tbe necessity for supervising infant welfare, the rest will be easy. My regret is, that onder pre- sent day conditions, there seems to be an urgent need for municipalities to undertake a duty which, in days of old, was performed by parents. This is regrettable, bat it appears, nevertheless, to be the inevitable and only way of checking a terrible waste of life. Among the masses it is evident there exists much and gross neglect of childhood. The causes of Buch neglect are dilli- cult to ascertain. They include poverty, ignor- ance, and drunkenness—a terrible trio, such as for years has impeded social progress at large. Leaving out the question of bow to cure the evil, we have to consider the children to-day, and this is what the State in one way is doing effec- tively, if on j>»jmall scale. Infant Death-Rate. t.. I bave before me some figures on which readers may reflect. The critical time for the infant is during the first year of its age. For 10 year?, from 1894 to 1903, the percentage death-rate of infants under one year old for tbe whole country was 15.6 of the birth-rate. Special figures are also given for 19C4. In London the death-rate per 1,000 births was 146. In Black- burn it was 191 Liverpool gave 196 and Bir- mingham 197. At Southampton it sank to 115, Melbourne, in 1904, only gave a rate of 83. The Australian authorities say it should be possible to keep the infant death-rate permanently down to 100 per 1,000, la Glaegop the death-rate per 1,000 born was 145 it was 142 in 1903. Tbe Glasgow figures show, sadly enough, that the mortalityamoDe Illegitimate children far ex- ceeds that among the legitimate. In 1904 the death-rate per 1,000 bom waa 131 in the legiti- mate section, and 342 in the other class. The Feeding Problem, No doubt tbe question of cleanliness and of healthy surroundings at large is an all-important one, bat that of feeding notably exeels other topics in respect of its practical interests. Tbe Glasgow leport, just issued by Dr. A. Chal- mers gives 08 some interesting details regarding tho Infants. Milk Depot established in that city. Milk duly sterilized is srpplied for children under three months.at a charge of 2d per dav under six months at 2&d per day and over six months at 3d per day. It is given oat in bottles, with lull diiections regarding the rules to be observed for the healthy and safe feeding of the children. I do not enter now specifically into details here, as I alluded lately to municipal milk depots in varioas English towns, and also in foreign cities. Suffice it to say that we bave an interesting experiment here made with regard to infantile health and welfare. In the case of the very poor, the charge made might be an obstacle to the use of the denot bat, again, a municipality which relieves poor persons of their rates wlgbt do worse than supply milk free that is, if the great ques- tion of infantile mortality is to be solved on sanitary lines. If we pay for the prevention of infections disease, and treat patients free in hospitals supported by the rates, I do not see why we sboald not eo a step further, and in cases of poverty save the children on lines of similar kinds. Paper Bags and Health, A medical man desires to wain tbe pulbic of horrible sources of disease in the shape cf paper bags and other investments in which foods are wrapped np. He first directs attention to the fswSC that groceia and others blow on the bug .to open il, and adiis that if the mouth happened'to contain the germs of any infections ailment the food migbt tbas be .contaminated. Also, he directs attention to tbe use of oN and often diriy newspapers, which are employed in pooierdis triota to wrap meat and other foods in. The proper cleansing of drinking glasses at schools is also named as likely to be a preventive of illness. Here, certaiuly, we might agree thoroughly with tbe doctor. The germs of diphtheria, tor example, are known to exist in the throat long after a child has been.cared. It might well be that the common aee of a glass amongst children would, io the case of a. little patient cared of that dis- ease, carry infection. For the same reason kiss- ing at school is regarded as capable of causing tbe conveyance of ailoaente. These are hiutt worth considering, because any precautions which may aid us in avoiding illness cannot bat prOve of value to everybody. The medical man who writes might have lastly included tbe Ice- cream barrow (and shop) in lower districts, in his category of disease originations. The filthy con- dition of tbe glasses is notorious is only too many cases, and medical officers of-health have unsparingly warned motheis against allowing their children to partake of ice-eream in the streets at all. Curious Facts About Insanity. The 59th report of tbe Commissioners in Lunacy for England and Wales contains some facts which are of a very curious and interesting nature. Dealing with the distribution of pauper lunatics, the fact is brought ont that many sparsely-populated areas contribute moo largely to tbe JUilane roll than the populous centres. Radnor, Wilts, Hereford, Montgomery, and Cardigan all show bigh rates. On the other aide we bave towns like Leeds, Sheffield, Bradford, Croydon and West Ham, densely populated places, giving us low rates. There are excep- tions, [ believe, in the CMC of Exeter and Brigh- ton. Perhaps, after all, the relationship between locality and insanity ia not a real one. a It has been suggetted that thft constant drain of the population of thecoontry, leaving the less robust at home, while the young and strong seek employment in towns, might explain the case if it can be explained at all. On the other hand, we might well^be tempted to think that the rapid life and great, competition of the town and the city would have been more provocative of brain- upset than the quieter existence of the rural district. On January 1st, 1904, there were certi- fied in England and Wales 119,829 persons. Of these 109,277 were pauper lunatics, and 912 criminal lunatics. Private cases numbered 9,640. Tbe increase was represented in thepaaptr classes chiefly. Race and Health. Lately there was published an exceedingly interesting paper on the health of Jews in London. The Jew, as a rule, exhibits a high degree of vitality, dae no doubt, to inheritance, and to the rigid .observance of health laws from Mosaic times. I am speaking bere of middle and upper-class Jews, of couise. Among the lower members of the oommunity, tn, say, the London East End, I suspect disease ia as rife as among their Christian neighbours. Tbe recent figures seem to show definitely that Jews suffer and die frbmconsamptionin a much less marked degree than do other races. Of cancer, the same opioion is expressed, and this idea is strengthened by a, comparison of deaths at the cancer age amongst Jews and Christians respectively. Diseases of tbe heart and blood- vessels also sbow. a diminution inl Jews, but they seam to be more liable to the attack of nervous ailments, and digestive troubles also afflict them over the rnte at which such ailments ate respon- sible for mortality among their noigbbonr". I have beard it maintained from German sources that the Jewish people also are Isas liable to tbe attack of infections ailments than are Christians. If this be so I suspect tbe explanation may be found in the greater attention to cleanliness and purification of himself and his surroundings which the intelligent Bebrew practices. It should form no uninteresting study in primitive sanita- tion for my readers in leisure momenta to study anew the sanitary laws laid down in the Old Testament for tRia observance of the ancient people. Many of tbe commands therin contained simply represent the health practices of to-day.

Fashion and Things Feminine. —— BY MISS IDA MELLOR. A Novel Redingote. The past three or four weeks have seen some strange incongruities of dtesa, and shown once more that the Lngliab woman is guilty of com- mitting grievous sins in connection with her toilette. On a September day there was worn a frock of pink floral muslin in combination with a Russian coat of grey fqairrel fur—a medley such as no Parisienoe would admit into her ob.me of drees. Side bv side have been worn gowns of thin silk, with transparent lace yokes, 'an and others of thiak cloth of wintry aspect-truly an alliance of the seasons. Vagaries of fashions are always more or less apparent daring the weeks that mark the dying of « season and the coming on of another; hence September fashions are quaint :aod, usually, it is not until October sets in that one sees the last of summer finery. The autumn tailor-mades are certainly very smart, the long redingote being a most success- fal fashion. Quite tbe smai test redingote fashion that I have seen was of strawberry-coloured clotb, and worn by a tall, blonde woman, with hair combed ap high, and crowned by one of the close-fitting hats, with upturned brime, that represent the latest cry of fashion. The particular feature of the redingoto was that the skirt of the coat consisted of foar separate pieces, gathered on to the clotb belt, which was cat to a point on the upper part at the back. These loose nieces met one another, bnt were not seamed, and each was craricent-Ahaped at the end. On the upper parUbe redingote was made with a fall bodice, folded to suggest a fichu and openine. back and front, over a vest of brodecie Anglaiae. I have had the costume sketched for the benefit of those who may cst.e to cony it. The skirt was quite vlain-tuerolv gathered to the waistband, anri falling in its own natural folds below the coat. It was eqt rather loiot, as all ekirts vrorn with redingoies should be. Copied in black or brown cloth, with a white or coffee- tinted veet, the coatame would be very charming aui tinfal. An admirable featurelin connection with some of the new costama cloths is that they are anspottable. This is particularly important in connection with cloth of pale, delicate colour- ing, and pale cloths, such as mastic, light blae, and fawn, are fashionable features of the season's goods. A Theatre Blouse. Blooses for evening wear are »- tbeme of importance now that tbe social futtgd has beiron uwrp again, the theatrical season Ja iif -swing,- and toncsrta and other evening entertainments are announced to brighten the dwk OlttniBgs. Very pretty are the blouses of flowered gauze inlet with blonde lace and made bikb to the neok with yokes of laee; 01: cut low and square and alao those of plain mousseline de soie and silk brilliante," the latter having a silk-like sbine npon the surface that is very effective by artificial light. Little scrolls and bows of gathered taffetas silk, cat up into bandn about half an inch wide, including the ends, are fashionable garnitures for these dainty blouses, the Lover's Knot and Louis the Sixteenth bow being favourite patterns. The blouse sketched is a simple, pretty model for dinner and theatre wear. It is composed of pale blue silk bril- liante," trimmed with gathered bands of pink taffetas silk ran tbrongh pink corded rings or these might be of pink sequins. The blouse is cot low and rather square in the neck, and boasts a soft collar of spotted net or blonde lace, frilled with silk brilliante," while the front of the bloose is of blonde lace or spotted net in harmony with the collar, and similar IlIC8 is used for the flounces to the sleeves. Another blouse for evening wear, also of pink "brilliante," is carried oiit entirely in tbe one colour, without the rtlitf of cream lace ot net. It ismtodesimilar to the blouse sketched, but tbe front is of its own material, and the lace to thOj sleeves|i(and similar lace edges the collar) is of piok blonde. I flaw a charming evening dress worn on the stage the other day. The skirt was of honysuckfe-pink taffetas, with a Vandyke trimming of silk ran through with thick cords; and the blonae was of cream- coloured moMseline, elaborately trimmed with pink bebe ribbon, and was mounted on to a yoke of fine lace, also ribbon-embroidered. The aleenes consisted of abort pnlIs. Captured juit above the elbows with braad bands of lace, and terminated in frills of lace-edgad, r'tbbsu- trimmed mousseline. This dainty little blonse struck me as an excellent idea worth copying in the case of a toilette where the material inns short. A skirt-length of silk for evening wear or day wear might very well be supplemented by a blouse, either of loco or cbiffon, trimmed with bebe ribbon repeating the coloar of the skirt. It always gives a more finished and complete appearance to the dress if the blouse repeats in one way or another the colour of the skirt. A ribboc-bow in the hair, emphasising the colour-scheme or toning it down (io the latter case black ribbon or velvet would be the choice) is also capable of:coutributing. much towards the success of the whole effect of a toilette. Smart Triftesof Dress.

Eremuri for Large Beds. For grouping in large beds against a b9.ok ground of Holly, Laurel, Conifers, etc., tbe stately Eremari can be recommended aa early- flowering berbaceoas plants, says a writer in Gardening Illustrated." They require a, little care in early spring to protest them from frost, otherwise they are perfectly hardy. A figure is given of a bed of eighteen plants, planted in the garden in December, 1903, the varie- ties being E. robastus and E. himalaioas, which are doubtless twe of the best. Last year these plants threwone spike each about 6ft bjb. On Jane 2nd this year tbey were again in full flower, each plant throwing at least two spikes, the tallest of which measured 8ft 4in bigh, and fully 12in in circumference at the flower base, while the very smallest measured about 4ft in height. They are planted in a rather heavy soil, and get no stimulants. "beD the yoang crowns begin to move, early in March, I cover with nboot 9in of sharp avid. About the beginning of April they again appear, when I use 6in pots 3,3 a covering at night only. When the crowns :et too large I discard the pots and pat a few Bpruee branches upright in the bed, vibich is all they require aotil ready for staking. Window Boxes. For the most part, the plants have dene their work, and may be cleared ont, and the boxer tilled with other things. If smaH shrubs are used the green and golden forms of Euouymus are the most suitable. Golden Privets, if the plants have been established in pots, are neat and diessy, bat the Privet is of no use if lifted fresh from the ground. A box filled with Pernettya speoiosa in berry Is pretty and a break away from the usual mixtares. Witloof. In how few gardens is seen Chicory ndder any form, and especially in its best form, known as Witloof. Attention to this really excellent salad vegetable will repay trouble. A breadth of Witloof from a sowing made at Midsummer had made fine growth, the leafage all over it haoiog up to .18io in height, and very green, and vigorous. Later the leafage will be much reduced, then the roots lifted and pat thickly into Coxen with fioe soil nboat them, then "be placed in a warm, dark cellar or other place from which light is entirely excluded. Growth from the crowns soon begins. The heads are of a solid, compact character, and when from 6in to 7in in height are cut and used satading, as blanched Endive M. Necessarily ail the roots should not be boxed at once, aa a succession of blanched heads is desirable. The The botanical name of the Choco or Chocho- plant is Sechium edule, which is grown through- out Southern Europe and in tbe warmer parts of Asia, America, and Australia. It is a native of the Cncumbsi family, and produces a large fieaby root, which sometimes weighs nearly 201b, resembling a Yam in appearance, and is said to be of mach the same flavonr when cooked. It ia, bowver, principally grown for ita fruit*, wkish are borne on annaal climbing stems pushed up from the tuberous root. Tbey are about 6in in Lwgth, oblong in shape, and edible. In this country it needs to bo grown under glass, and will when strong reqaire about the same amount of room M a Cneumbr plant. Regal Pelargoniums. Regal Pelargoniaips that were cat back after flowering will ere this hsve made nice growth, and boald now be repotted. The beat compost for them is good mellow loam, dried cow. manure, and coarse silver sand, with a sprinkling of oharcoal, the whole being passed through a coarse sieve. After potting, whioh ahoold be done firmly, they will be best placed in a eold frame, where, lightly sprinkled over-head occa- ionally, tbey will make farther growth. A shelf near the glass in a light span-roofed house is the best position one coald give them daring winter, keeping them rather dry until towards spring. The cuttings which hove been struck may also be potted off separately, and, like the old plants, will be beat served if placed on a shelf, close up to the glass, so that the growth may be firm and sturdy. Edgings fer Winter and Spring. The borders that one is accustomed to see finished off with edging plants in sammer ate sometimes devoid of any beauty in the spring time, and for the most part are left bare until sach things as Lobelias and Ecboveda. are ready for planting out. There are a good many things in hardy plantB that are most useful for the edft- ings of beds and borders. Amongst these we think of the Rock Cresses, Pinke. dwarf Campa- nulas, Cineraria maritime, and Cerastium Biebersteini, both of which have white folia&e, and retain much of the oolouin tbetwinter. Then there are her common things, like the Saxifrages and Iberises, of which the common white Candytuft is much grown by country people. There are the bulbs, too, and Snow- drops, Crocuses and Seillas are sore to be con- sidered by many. Fruit Garden. Wasps are getting troublesome, especially where no means have been taken for their dB. struction. If bottles balf fined with beer and treacle are hung upon the walls the wasps will iiod them, and be tempted to their destruction. This should be done as soon as the firsC. waep is ■>een flying about. If they have tasted ripe fruit may will not leave it. The only coarse, then, is 10 find their nests and deatroy them, and net np any fruits to be.aftd. A covering of the hexagon netting will keep oat wasps, and the ventilators of vineries should be covered with the kind of nelticg or canvas that will allow the air to circulate, and still keep out wasps. Late Melons in frames may require the linings to be ravened to finish off the crop. Very little water will be required, as there is moisture eaoufch in the beds to supply tbe roots. Cover up at night with mat? or frigi-domx Place grease bands round fiuit trees in good time. It may be diffi- cult to fix a date to arreet the progress of evory crawling inseet, and therefore it is well to be in time. Evidence of the nreBence of the moth and its larvae may be found now in every gar- den if we examine the fallen Apples. Certainly this plague is worse than it was forty years ago, and this is mainly due to neglect in many cases, through ignorance. The fruit cropB for the most part being light this Be&aon, special care should be atken in tbe gathering and storing. Leave late kinds on the treau till quite ready. Growing Mushrooms- To ensure success there mast be a good supply of manure from stables where the horses have hard, dry food only, care being taken that no manure from "ick horses is used. After the longest litter has been shaken eat, tbe short manure must be turned every three days for a fortnight to drive off some of the sarplus mois- ture. When in a harry tbe experienced grower will mix one in foar or five of drytlb loam with the manure to absorb the moistore. and in this way tbe beda may be made up In three or four; daya after the manure comes to hand. The beds in a cellar should be of a manageable size. If round the wall sides, 3ft wide and from 12in to 15in deep will be necessary. Baild the beds up firmly, and when the temperature is fairly steady at something like 85deg (yoa need not be particular to a degree or two), the biicke of new spawn should be broken up into pieces 2in in diameter and inserted 2in to 3in deep and 9in apart all over tbe surface of the bed, and when the bed has been firmed again, and no appear- aoae of the heat rising above 90deg, place on the bed Itio of loamy soil and beat down firmly.

HINTS TO AMATEURS. Among the automn-flowering olanta Michael- mas Daisies or Starwortsand early-flowering Chrysanthemums are, and will be for some time, very effective. No one who wants flowers in autumn should neglect them. Chrysanthemums sboud be transplanted annually in spring, taking the young strong pieces from the outside of the clumps for making new groups, and tbe same course should be adopted with the Starworts. Japanese Anemones are another class of plant that cannot be done without. The tall single Sunflower known as Miss Mellish will be bright till the froat is severe. It ia useful for back- ground or to fill up among shrubs. Tritomas or Poker-plants maka a good group on tbe lawn associated with the Pampas Grass, hieh ilS now throwing ap numeroas spikes of white fluffy flowers, This is a. fine lawn plant, which may be planted on the Grass close to the margin of a sbubbery, or near the margins of water associated with Willows, Weeping and others.

If not a native of Cardiff, Mr Jacob has lived in the town the greater part of his lifetime, and has been a mem- ber of the Corporation nine months longer than Alderman David Jones, J.P., who ia a real Cardiff boy." A Cardiganshire newspaper refers to the plenti- fulness of a certain edible this season under tbe heading of Resnrrtlction of mushrooms." A reader wbo had been in the habit of partaking not wisely bnt too well of this succulent enllyn said that the assurance of a re- surrection was the only sufficient satisfaction for an excessive meal of mushroome. By the way what is the best Welsh word for "mushrooms Is there no enterprising professor on the staff of the Cardiff University College prepared to emulate tbe excellent example set by Pro- fessor Phillips, of Jjangor ? He is on a visit to South Africa, and is appealing to all Welshmen io the Colonies for assistance to tbe Bangor University College Building Fund. One otd student, lIfr D. J. Williams, of the Rand Club, Jobannesborg, has given bim .£500, and he baa received several donations of £100. Altogether Professor Phillips will bring nearly £1,000 home with bim towards tbe College funds. Social Christianity is becoming a marked feature of religious efforts nowadays. Two years ago there was scarcely a single boose at the Plaa, near Pengam now hundreds of people are living there. A mission ballha" been erected by the Wesley ana, aided by other friends. In addition to the ordinary religious services there have been established daring the past three months, in connection with the hall, a people's social evening for lantern lectures, etc., a. reading room, sswing meeting, and a football club for the young mon. The veatry of j the ball will be and on certain evenings as a reading room, and at the first meeting over 20 magazines and periodicals were promised by young working men and their friends. How is ït,"writ8s a colliery authority, that the position of iron works managers ii, financially, better than that of those who direet the fortunes of collieries ? Here is a case in (.oint. Most people conversant with collieries knew Mr Lax, of Llwynypia, a one type of the intelligent;Scots- man, who knew his business well, and was taach beloved both by master and man. Yet, after a long life and good service, the probate of his will is reported at only £9211911 Id. In contrast, we have the probata of the will of Mr David Evans, of Bolekow Vaughan, Middlesbrough, £46,000. Mr Evans was an excellent man of busi- ness, and held in higa repute, generous hearted, and liberal to the men. Evidently tbe iron mana- faetnre pays better than coal working. Dr. Maccamara, M.P., has done well to collect humorous children's school stories. Theiollow- ing true story of a Cardiff five-year-old scholar deserves a record. Herbert bad been to biaSonday sehool, and bad been presented by his teacher with a missionary magazine. On hia return home be requisitioned a lady friend of the family to read him a missionary biography, the subject of which had been a supporter of missions from his early childhood. Herbert's besetting weak- ness was chocolate, and the lady reader wisely attempted to turn tbe occasion to a good account. For instance," she said, this missiotoary, when he was a boy about your age, never spent his pence for choeolates, bat placed them in tbe mission box."

The Welsh Character. Speakiog of the Welsh character, the Bishopof Llandaff states that the Welsh psople lack peraevetance. St. Paul bad aeen a similar Weak- ness when, in his Epistle to the Galatian (ehapter 3), he said, '0, foclisb Galatiaas, wbo hath bewitched yóu ?'

To tbe list of notable characters at Bailth Wells (recently givan in this column) should be added SnookB,the peripatetic accordion player, who, despite his patronymic, ia a Welshman from Sir Berteifi. He has (writes" Taff ") had tbe monopoly of music provided at the Wells for many years, and bis stock of songs is, by reason of its age, a welcome feature in these times of change. Some of tbe older visitors say that Snooks ainga now the same songs as he did twenty years ago, He was rather jealous of poor "Tommy," who died tbe other day, and now, no aoubt that his old rival is no more, will;be less ready than ever to add to his roper toire, Mr S.
