BURIED GOLD IN CALIFORNIA.

The Hidden Treasures of Priests, Pirates,

Treasure-seeking parties are out in
California trying to find the gold sup.

fore the American occupation there
were no banks in California and the
Spaniards kept their gold and silver in
jars, which was either buried on the
premises or walled up in the adobe
houses. The money of the missions
was kept in the same manner. Each

there is practically no machinery ex-

Sermon on Malt.

sermon on Wait.
The Cardiff Times made a great mis-
take when 1t attributed the authorship
of the sermon on Malt" to the re-
nowned Welsh scholar. the immortal
Davies, Of Mallwyn. The author Of
the characteristic temperance sermon
was one DR.. Dodd, an English minis
ter. The Rev. Mr.. Dodd lived many
years ago a few miles from Cambridge.
and had rendered himself obnoxious to
many of the Cantabs by frequently
preaching against drunkenness, sew
eral of whom meeting him n day on a
Journey, determined to make him
preach in a hollow tree which was near
the roadside. Accordingly, addressing
him with great apparent politeness.
they asked him II he had not lately
preached against drunkenness. On his
replying in the affirmative. they in
sisted that he should now preach from
a text of their choosing. In vain did
he demonstrate on the unreasonable
ness of expecting him to give them a
discourse without study anyhow In such
a place; they were, however, determined
to take no denial, and the word MALT
was given him by way Of text, on which,,
1t Is said, he delivered the sermon we
published in last weeks issue. The
! question is who is the true author, DR..
| Dodd or DIR. Davies? The writer in the
Cardiff Times Is one of the best and
most reliable historians and antiquar-
| ians of Wales. The sermon in ques-
| tion has been 'copiously clipped, and 1t
is to be hoped hat those who read it
like the men who heard 1t. will be
profited by the short and whimsical

English publication. with the name of
DR.. Dodd as author.

intermediate Schools In North Wnlcs.
The Cardiff Times rays Mr.. W.. Glynn
williams, M. A., the head master of
Friar' 8 school, Bengor, holds very pro-
nounccd ideas IN the question of the
efficient working If intermediate
| schools. He expresses an opinion that
there were too many schools started
under the provisions of the Welsh In
termediate Education act. and that
some of them would eventually go to the
wall. He cited Carnarvonshire as an
instance of this, and stated that in con
sequence of the schools being so numer-
GUS and close together they were SIM
ply cutting ach others Threats. He
maintained that instead of the county
having ten schools as at present. there
should be only four. namely, at Bangor,
| Camarvon, porthmadoc, and Llandu-
drlo. He insisted that in order to ef-
fectually organize q school into It's
proper n,imuer Of forms.etc.. there must
be at least 100 scholars. and that with
the present multiplicity Of schools this
vas quite impossible. He is also q
strong believer In the boarding system.
and has very ambitious hopes for
