THE language of Wales is practically the
only one of the Celtic languages that is not
either dying or already dead. 1t was spoken
by the ancient Britons before the German
invasion and conquest of the island. Per-
haps the man who has done most in recent
years for its preservation is the Rev. j..
Jones, the vicar of parish in Cardigan
shire, who, in addition to numerous sermons,
pamphlets and other contributions in his ma
tive tongue, has published popular five
volume commentary the Bible, and trans
lated into Welsh Queen Victoria's journal
of her life in the Highlands. Over 10000
copies of his commentary have been sold.
The Queen, out Of recognition of his ser
vices to Welsh literature, has just conferred
upon him pension Of $3.50 ayear. 1t is
taken from the civil list fund. bna

Bonaparte and What He Ate.
IFraset,. Magazlne.l Il


That which probably prevented Bonaparte
from becoming gourmand was the idea
which constantly pursued him that toward So
or 40 he would become obese. Far from hav-
ing enriched tho gastronomic repertory, one
dish only is due to him among all his victories
the poulet a la Marengo. The historic pouIet
was first fried in oil, owing to Napoleon's cook
being for the moment short Of butter. He
drank very little wine, always Bordeaux or
Burgundy; he however preferred the latter
and Chambertin above all other growths.
After breakfast, as after dinner, he took cup
of coffee. He was irregular with his meals,
ate fast and badly; but therein was percepti-
BILE that absolute will which he brought TO ev-
ervthing; so soon as appetite made itself felt,
it must be satisfied, and his table service was
so appointed that anywhere, or at any hour,
he could find a fowl, outlets and coffee ready
for him. He breakfasted in his bedroom at 10
o'clock, inviting almost always those who hap
pened to be near him. Bourrienne, his sec
retary, during the four or i've years he
was with him, never saw him par
take of more than two dishes at
a meal. One day the Emperor asked
why his table was never served with crepiaettes
Iecochoa, "a ragout made of hashed meat mixed
with morsels or fringes of pork). Dumand, the
Emperor's mdttre d'hdtel, remained for an in
slant staggered by the question, and then re-
piled, "Sire, that which is indigestble is not
gastronomic.' - An officer present added,
NYour Majesty cannot eat crepinettes and
work Immediately afterwards "Babi BAH
idle tales; shall work for all that" "Sire,"
Dumand then said, ''your Majesty shall be
obeyed at breakfast tomorrow" And next
day the head nldttre db6teL of the Tuileries
served up the required dish, only that the crep-
inettes were made with slices of partridge, a
difference unperceived by the Emperor, who
ate with great relish. "Your dish is excellent,
and compliment you upon it" Napoleon,
horseback early in the morning and remained
in the saddle throughout the day. Care was
then taken to place in one Of his holsters
bread and wine and in the other a roast fowl.
He generally shared his provisions with one OF
his officers still worse provided than himself.

VIcKsBURG Herald: 'sWe can't speak of

STATISTICS have been gathered in Italy
which show. a very marked Improvement in
the morals of the people. Thus, for the first
half of the year 1870 there were 1864 cases
of homicide and infanticide, while in 1880
there were LII, and in the present year
only 1912. In 1870 there were 1 1874 cases
of highway and other robberies, and of ex-
tortion. increasing in 1880 to 1854 cases,
but decreasing in 1881 to 907. Thefts in
1870 were 1912, increasing in1SS0 to1S,1 172,
but decreasing this year to 1867. During
the first nine months of the current year it is
notable that there have been 210 cases less of
homicide and $50 cases less of highway rob
berry; also, 1000 cases less of theft, and l.
900, 1913 francs less damage to property. This
improvement is believed to be largely due to
the new police regulations.

The Winter Epidemic.

The rapid development of small pox in so
many sections of the country is exciting
general alarm. The disease has broken out
in many places between the Atlantic and the
Mississippi; and in New York and Chicago
has reached the proportion of an epidemic.
1t is not only more prevalent this year than
usual; it is more viruent. In some Western
towns it has ragged like plague, the fatal
cases often reaching the extraordinary per-
centage Of sixty per cent. The increase is in
a great measure due to the modern facilities
for travel which aid in the wide and speedy
dissemination of the disease. So general is
the apprehension that President Arthur has
been asked by the national board of health
to write message on the subject-the medi-
cal men belonging to that body apparently
gs.t~-+-;-4i,ass sIIIslu poA
suppressed by proclamation, as disorderly
assemblages are sometimes dispersed by the
reading of the riot act.
This is carrying the idea of National gov
ernment entirely too far, and the Democratic
dogma of local elf-government is far better
suited to the exigency. 1t would be well
for the local authorities everywhere to guard
against the infection and for individuals to
take prompt and efficient measures for self
protection. Portland has thus far escaped
the scourge which has been raging around
us; but the city is exposed to it and our peo-
pie cannot be too speedy in getting on guard.
The authorities are vigilant, but the disease
is insidious. The wise thing is to vaccinate
right and left. An ounce of vaccine matter
Just now is worth many pounds of drugs.
THE year just closed has, if the London
Times is correctly informed, been one of
considerable prosperity in Great Britain.
An Improvement is noted in nearly all the
leading lines of business. Pauperism has
decreased; deposits in savings banks have
increased; more business has been done at a
greater profit, and the condition of things in
general is said to be in highly satisfactory
and promising condition. What is more,
the Times anticipates that the opening year
will be more prosperous still, and that the
high water mark of 1873 is likely to be
touched if not passed. This story is very
different from what We have been hearing
all along, for the land reformers and fair
traders have been giving out that everything
in Great Britain was in a bad way. and that
legislation was necessa ary in order to avert a
financial collapse. s 81. .r-iste
