Nearly 400 of the Queens Nurses"

dowed by the Queen with IL capital
sum of 10000. the proceeds of the wo-
mems Offering ON the completion Of
the 5Oth year of her Majestys reign,
were entertained to an al fresco lunch
con at Windsor Castle on Thursday.
The nurses We're arrayed in three sides
Of a parallelogram, the Kennels-road
being the vacant side. Farthest away
from the Castle were those working In
Scotland and Ireland; next to them
came those working In Wales: then
those working in England. Says the
Daily Telegraph: But these geograph-
ical distinctions were somewhat arbi-
trary. Where am l to go? asked one
young woman of Lord Alwyne Comp
ton, who was marshalling the nurses

England or Wales? Wales was the
answer. Oh laughed the damsel

In the list of the successful cand-
dates for the London Nj. A, in mental \
and moral science appears the name Of
Mr.. Thomas Reese, B. y. of Cardiff
University. Mr.. Reese's career, as well
as being an excellent and oppOrtune
example of the advantages of the
Welsh colleges. furnishes brilliant
illustration of the Welshman's indom-
liable perseverance. Leaving the coal
mine at Aberdare for the grammar
school at Whitland in the fall of 1890,
with the most elementary knowledge,
Mr. Reese succeeded in passing into the
Presbyterian college, CaImarthen. In
the summer of 1892 he passed the Lon
don Matricula ton examination, AMI
likewise the inter arts in July, 1893,
taking his degree of b. "A. in 1894, which
is now crowned with the rarer and
much coveted distinction Of NJ. A. At
the Cardiff University entrance exam
ination i'm 1893 Mr.. Reese won the Drap-
ers' scholarship-the blue ribbon of the
year. This he has retained, and has
added to it q heap of first class GER
tilicates, several first prizes in philo-
sophy and Celtic, and the Dan Isaac
Davies" exhibition.
Professor John Rhys. in his presiden-
tial address at the National eisteddfod |
on Friday told the audience that the |
history of Tudno, the patron saint of |
Llandudno, was almost wholly lost. |
Perhaps, however, the following tra |
ditional particulars of the saint, which. !
by the way, are offered not to enlighten |
the learned professor, may be interest |

ing to tradition, was the son of Prince |
Seitheuyn, who gained to himself the |

as "Seitheuyn, the drinker,' and to be
