CAMBRIAN GOSSIP.I
CAMBRIAN GOSSIP. I The Hev. Rowland Williams (Hwfa MOD), of LlaDgolleu, the Archdruid of Wales, is at preseut engaged in preparing a new lecture on 'Glewion GwJad,' This la the sixth lecture of the Archdruid. Re has lectured more than any living Welshman. o 0 o The announcement that the late Professor Alfred Hughes, of King's College (formerly of Cardiff), has bequeathed £ 400,000 to Lon- don Hospitals is clearly a mistake. The bequest referred to is in ail probability that of 'Professor Hughes, the physicist, who amassed a large fortune owing to his inven- tions. 000 Mr. Charles Richards, of Worthenbury, near Wrexham, is a wonderful old man. Born in the eighteenth century, be has lived through the nineteenth, and has now seen the dawn of the twentieth century. He first saw the light in the Worthenbury parish, where be now resides, on the 11th of Nov., 1798. He enjoys excellent health, and has a. rcost interesting store of reminiacesce.. 000 Dr. Ward, the master uf Peterhouse, Cam- bridge, formerly principal of Owens College, Manchester, ia reviewing the Life of Helen Faucit,' by her husband, Sir Theodore Mar- tin, recalls with feeling I the gracious lady of Bryntisilio,' the charm of whose goodness was for her home and for the friends that loved her. Bryntisilio is of course Sir Theo dore Martin's beautiful home in the Vale of Llangollen. 000 The Church of England in Wales lost many of its leading clergymen by death during 1900. The obituary list includes the names of the Revs. P. Constable Ellis, rector of Llanfairfechan; J. Williams Meyrick, rector of Beaumaris John Williams, vicar of Llaugeler; Canon Owen Jones, vicar of Bodelwyddan E. M. Roderick, vicar of Ruabon W. liees Williams, rector of Gyf- fylliog; John Davies, vicar of Treuddyn; and W. Venables Williams, vicar of Llan- drillo yn Rhos. 000 Deacons who nap in church must beware. The Rev. W. C. Jones, pastor of the First Congregational Church of Sharon, Pennsyl- vania, has resigned, alleging as the reason that some members of his church slept dur- ing the services. He charges Deacon John S Williams with sleeping 15 out of the last] J6 Sundays. A few weeks ago the Rev. illr. Jones detected Mr. Williams napping while j he ;vas preaching. The pastor at once cut! his sermon short, and dismissed his coogreg- j atiou. ooo In the 'Reminiscences of Oxford,' by the Rev. W. Tuckwell, a book, recently publisl. ed, we are told that among the original characters of Oxford in the thirties was Mrs. Foulkes, whose husband, the principal of Jesus, walked the High street always upon St. David's Day with a large leek fastened in the tassel of his cap.' Why should not the old principal be allowed to show his patriotism on good St. David's Day? There was, in truth, much valour in this Welshman. ooo Here is another English englyn, and this by Twm or Nant. The story goes that on one occasion Twm applied at some hotel in Chester for n bed. The bard being clad in somewhat Bohemian fashion, not being well put on/as Scotchmen phrase it,and the hotel being a superior one, the landlord re- fused him the accommodation he sought. Then c&uie the engiyn— say, sir, whoever did see—in town A tanner so saucy 1 No bed, man, and I bid money May your old town go down the Dee 000 Although the death-roll of Welsh Calvic- istic Methodist ministers for 1900 is some- what lighter as regards number than that of previous years, it will long be memorable if only for the fact that it includes the name of the greatest theologian of the connexion —the late Principal T. Charles Edwards. Others whose names are enumerated in the list are late Revs. David Davies, Cefncoedy- cymmer; William Edwarda, Tonna John Owen Jones, Llanberis; Owen Jones, Liver- pool Abraham Roberts, London Thomas Roberts, Bethesda; Thomas Williams, Pen- rhiweeiber Thomas Davies, Giant's Grave; William Williams, Swansea; Wm. Olwen, Manchester, and Jonathan Williams, New Brighton. ooo The poems of Richard Hughes, of Bangor, who was a foot soldier in the army of Queen Elizabeth, have at length been printed,after 300 years of neglect. Hughes was one of the major Welsh poets. The honour of rescuing his work from the oblivion of manu- script belongs to Mr. J. H. Davies, of Cwrt Mawr, in the first instance.and subsequently to a select society of six known as'Cym- deithas Lien Cymru,' or The Welah Liter. ary Society.' This saiail body of booklovars have other work in hand, che number of copies printed being limited. Of Richard Hughes's poems 45 copies were printed and sold at coat price. All these have been eagerly taken up, and many would-be sub scribers have been disappointed. The ap- plications were registered in the order they were received, e-o that, this at any rate was a case of the early bird securing the prize. 000 A Zurich journal publishes a remarkable notice of the performance of a Welah artiste whose home is in Berlin. We refer, of course, to Mr. Ffrangcon Davies, whose recent achievements in the land of Kaiser have been watched by his countrymen with delight. Zurleh is one of the most music- loving towns in Switzerland, possessing a, suberb orchestra and a magnificent hall, It was here that Wagner used to conduct in the days when he was poor an i fighting his way. All this lends importance to the declaration of our Zurich contemporary that no living singer^ can surpass' our famous Welsh bari- tone in volume, and only a. few equal him. His production is wonderful, and one could recommend this pattern to our opera singers. Even the enunciation might be taken as a pattern, for an Englishman here shows us how full value should be given to the consonants in the German language.' The last sentence might well be commended to the advocates of Welsh utilisation in schools, and furnishes another illustration of the oft-assertedT argument that a good know- ledge of Welsh helps enormously to the acquirement of proficiency in foreign tongues.

IBIG LUGGAGE ROBBERY.
I BIG LUGGAGE ROBBERY. Betore Mr. McConnell, Q.C.. sitting at the London County Sessions on New Year's Day. William Forester, 28, pleaded guilty to charges of stealing six packages ot luggage, value £ 300, the property of a Mr. Dorman, of Northampton, from Euston Sration, and of stealing jewellery value £ 50 and a cheque for ±.71 from a Mrs. Fletcher. There were several nre- vious convictions against him, and it was believed that he was concerned in the disappearance of much valuable property which he could help the police to trace if he chose. To give him an opportunity of aoins so, sentence was postponed.

It is best to keep off the land- during heavy rains, but whenever the soil is hard enough to bear one's weight without giving, manure may be wheeled on to it. In bad weather prepara- tions for spring ran be made. Rubbish may be burned, pea sticks examined, etc. During open dry seasons trenchieg should be proceeded with, and suitable plots are prepared ùr sowing peas and beans. SOWING SEEDS. Open air sowings in January are somewhat precarious, but small seedlings are oiten made with excellent results during mild weather at the end of the month. ARTICHOKES, GLOBE. The young leafage should be slightly earthed up, and covered with some dry light litter, which must be removed during April, when the riag of earth should be drawn away, a dressing of rotten manure applied, and the beds forked over without injuring the roots. ASPARAGUS. Prick over the ground lightly with a fork, taking care not to injure the roots, dress with 11 two inches of stable manure, and protect the early growth from frost with litter. BEANS, BROAD. Sow for early crops towards the end or January in double rows three feet asunder, placing the two lines forming each double row nine inches distant from one another, arrang- ing the seeds for the plants to come alternately, and usiog one quart to 25 feet. Cover with three or four inches of good soil. Any deep, retentive land will do, and profitable crops can be secured from well cultivated clays, though rich, sandy loams are best. In due course thin eut until the beans stand five or six inches apart in the rows, and earth up when about fivo or six inches high. CABBAGES. ■ Plant out young cabbages at any time when weather permits. Profitable crops can be [ secured on all generously dunged soils. As lime in some form is essential, the addition ot | bonemeal, basic slag, superphosphate, old uior- | tar and plaster are always most beneficial. | CAULIFLOWERS. An early start may be made by sowing" in | boxes on a gentle hot-bed. Prick out the plants resulting into another frame or under hand lights as soon as they are large enough to handle, give all the air consistent with safety, and finally plant out about mid-May, 15 inches apart. 1CRESS. Any gooJ, fine soil answers for this crop, but it is very important to change the seed bed frequently. Make successions 1 small sowings in pans or boxes under glass, using an ounce af seed to 1 squat e yards. Cover thinly with title soil, or else press the seed down lirmiy, and lay a, sheet; of glass over each box or pan until germination be accomplished. Cress sown thickly for salading often sutlers from a fun- trouble known as 'damping of1' The young seedlings commence to decay near the surface of the soil in rings, and the disease spreads with great rapidity. To avoid this disease, sow thinly only, admit air freely to the plants when consistent with safety, water moderately only, keeping the surface soil as dry as possible, and, above everything, entirely change the soil for each crop. CUCUMBERS. Sow the seeds two inches deep about a month before the plants are required in jots or pans I of light, rich, turfy loam, on a hot bed or in a iiitnny corner of the warm greenhouse. In the latter case, the pots or pans must be covered with slates iiatH germination he Eileelied. Over the hot-vafcer pipes in the house with large inverted pans, and these in turn with slates and a bed of strawy manure and leaves. Lightly cover the whole with soil, and heap up mounds of turfy loam every live feet along the bed. Raise the heat to about 75 degrees, with a minimum night temperature of 60 degrees, and plant out a strong young cucumber, or sow several seeds, in each heap. Treat as in ordi- nary frame culture, save that only the shoots and fruiting stems require stopping, while the plants, of course, must he trained up wires or strings at least a foot from the glass. Fire' heat may be dispensed with by degrees during May-noti earlier. Once a fortnight top-dress the mounds with a layer of warm soil, and keep the walls and passages frequently damped. HORSE RADISH. This very wholesome condiment should be grown in every garden. Thoroughly trenched, rich, and rather moist soils in open situations are to be desired, and a new position should be selected annually for the bed. Place a thick. layer of rich stable manure in the trench. Plant'i the young roots now twelve inches apart, the crowns being just beneath the surface of the soil. Those without crowns must be placed a little more deeply in the ground. LETTUCES. Lettuces are always in good demand, so that early sowings should be made this month in pans ia a greenhouse or frame, or even in boxes, covered with sheets f glass, on a sunny border. Prick out the seedlings Irons these early sowings into frames or boxes of light, rich soil, and finally plant them out Fix inches apart in April. Light, rich loams are to be preferred for the crop, though any soil will produce profitable yields if properly trenched and prepared. It is a good plan to p!ace a Jayer of fresh or green manure about nine inches under the surface immediately before sowing, MELONS. The sowing and culture of melons is practi- cally identical with that of cucumbers, save that; more light, heat and air, and less moisture are required. When plants have formed two or three rough leaves, pinch off the tops to en- courage production of side shoots, which, in turn, must be stopped when they have made some half-dozen leaves. Fertilise the female flowers by hand when the air isi dry, and pinch y off the male flowers and all fruits excepting four or live (two in winter), only one being left to each shoot, which must be pinched offit, the second leal beyond the fruit. Keep the soil rather dry immediately round the stem. Admit as much air as may be consistent with th;) maintenance of a temperature of from GO to 70 degrees at night, and 80 to 85 degrees by day, and never permit the roots to become dry, except when the fruiis are ripening. Lightly syringe twice daily, excepting from the time when the flowers open until the fruits are about the size of large marbles, and again after the colour begins to turn. During both these periods permit just sufficient atmospheric mois- ture only to prevent red spider. The melons must be lirmiy supported on slates. With the exception that three or four mam arms are trained out ianwise on a trellis, house culture is similar to frame cultivation, though the fruits in the former case must, of course, be supported in slings or on hanging boards. MUSTARD, Ordinary white mustard is grown as advised for cress, and is equally to damping off. When sowing mustard and cress to be .eaten together, it should be borne in mind that the former is ready a week earlier that the latter if both are started at the same time. PEAS. A warm, sandy soil,: is necessary for eady sowings, while deeply-worked, rich loams and clays are best for latd J:,) ¡. tbn earliest crop until the end of on a warm, sheltered, sloping south border, oil turiC" —turned grass side uuderneash—ia frames, cr in potF; or long, shallow troughs under glass. Directly the seedlings are visible, dust them over lightiy with lime and soot mixed as a protection from slugs, and thin them to about two inches apart when they are two or three inches high Early outdoor sowings must be sheltered from keen winds, and it is well to support the plants with brushwood when they are three or four inches high As the seedlings appear under glass, air must be given whenever possible, to promote a sturdy growth, and it will, of course, be necessary to water occasio- nally. Towards the end of March or in (Y,rly April, plane them out with as little disturbance of the roots aa necessary. POTATOES. Towards the end of the month,pack a number of sets closely, one layer deep, in shallow boxes, which mu-t be placed near the glass in a cool conservatory or in some other light position where they will be safe from iro-D. This per- mit of germination before planting under favourable conditions during mid. March, andso hastens the period of production. RADISHES. Early crops of quickly-grown radishes umally much appreciated. To produce them easily cover aoont two feet of h-dIf-decayed stable manure with four or five inches ot line soil in a frame, so arranged that the surface of the bed is near the glass. Make thin broadcast sowings every week or 10 days until the middle of February, selecting.forcing kinds. l'hin out Y, the roots so that their tops do not touch give air whenever weather permits, and protect with mats during frost, being careful to admit as much light as possible to prevent the tops bi. coming drawn SEA KALE. i(", Plants may be forced into early production by covering the beds and sea kale pots wiih a good layer of iermeuting manure. Forcing in beds does not injure the roots, which are quite valueless after being raised and forced. SPINACH. Make Rinall sowings in dryish soil in a some- what sheltered position. If destroyed by frost, iti is a very easy aud inexpensive matter to re- sow the ground. TOMATOES. Sow now in pans of sandy soil to secure early greenhouse ciops. Maintain a temperature of 60 to 65 degreed at night and 75 degrees by day, and prick out the seedlings singly into small pots directly they have made two leaves. Keep the young plants short and stout by placing them on shelves near the glass, and move on to larger pots as required.
