The Druids OF Wales were the
priests, administrators of justice, poets
ana instructors of the people. The
bards were the poets, and the most
learned among the Druids. The Ro-
mans and other intruders prosecuted
them, owing to their great influence
over the people. Their colleges were
called BANGOR. and the youth of Gaul
received education at them. They met
annually, in a sort of parliament, at
Abury, Cairn Bre, Stanton-Drew or
Druid, Landau, in Anglesey, etc. !;
and latterly at Caer Emrys, or Stone
henge, built by Ambrosius, about 460,
on the site of a previous circle.
They were fine poets and moral
lists, but their ideas of causation were
superstitions, and they believed in
elves, demons, charms, etc. Their
moral maxims are e9ualed by none that
ever were composed, and were ex-
pressed in triads for ease OF memory.
Their chief poets were Aneurn, Tale
sin and Merdynn, or Merlin; and many
of their productions have high classical
merit. The most noted bards were
Plenydd, Alawn and Gwron, and
Britain was the source and head of
the system. Its ultimate objects were
to reform morals and customs, to Sc
cure peace, and to exalt virtue. They
had three orders-presiding bards, or.
ators, or poets, and druids, or instruct

In the Amours Of Great Men, by Mr..

after the death of Stella and Vanessa

melancholy and piteous song, breath
Ing sorrow, distress, misguided love,
but the accompaniment to which is
lively, strident, stsccato; still the song
struggles on, wailing, making itself
heard above the false instrument, whose
mockiBg tones want TO throw it into

obliged to go 30 slowly anu mournfullv.

pltiable idiot. He il like the man who

tered the room, they found him seated

to all the softer feelings. Memory
placed their skeleton in his bed; he

three years, unconscious of what passed
around him. Upon the nineteenth of

the terrible spectacle, and released the
sufferer from his misery, degradation

A writer in Nature discussed the
Imperative nutritive qualities of white
Bread, brown bread and whole meal
bread. He says: We shall find it Im
possible to make by means of leaven or
yeast, a light spongy loaf from whole
wheat finely ground, the so-called
seFoaline of the bran inducing chemi-
saI changes which result m moist,
elammY, dense product. Even whole
Rheaf merely crushed into meal, and
bt ground, partakes of the same de-
let. Fine flour, on the other hand,
ields bread that Is light enough be-
fore mastication, but which, when
mastlcated, possesses marked tendency
to become compacted into dense Jumps
which may never be penetrated by the
gastric and intestinal juice, and which
are q frequent cause of constipation.
Whole-meal bread cannot be charged
! with this defect indeed, it acts medici-
naily as a laxative, and by reason of
it's mechanical texture IS hurried rather
too quickly along the digestive tract, so
i that the full virtue of such of its nutri-
ents as are really soluble becomes in part
lost. Yet there is no doubt that for
many persons, especially those who
have passed middle age end are engaged
IN sedentary occupations, Whole-wheat-
an meal in the form OF bread, biscuits,
becomes, etc, form an invaluable
iiet. II we reckon all the nitrogen
bus matter IN whole meal bread as
7equally contained in white bread we
should possrss in the former far more
perfectly adjusted food, for the ratio of
Fesh formers to heat givers is about
bne to seven and half in white bread
while it approaches one to four in
pome samples, at least, Of whole meal
bread, Add to this the higher pro-
portion of phosphates in the latter, and
'tn chemical superiority over white be-
comes still more marked sits flavor, too,
IL far richer. Ordinary brown bread is a
aaor preparation at best. BY adding q
ash of rather rough bran TO flour we
p not obtain q satisfactory or rich
oduct; analysis demonstrates this
bet clearly.
