The Rev Hartwell Jones on Welsh Characteristics Speaking at an eisteddfod in Liverpool on Monday, the Rev G. Hartwell Jones referred to some features of the Welsh mind and the advantages that might accrue from the encoura cement of liter- ary and musical gatherings among the younger generation. The first feature that might be mentioned was quickness 'of apprehension and' impressibility. Abundant testimony to its existence was found ir the vivacity and impulsiveness of the native temperament, in the liveliness of Welsh writing, in the perception of and sympathy with the beauties of nature, in descriptive power, noetic conception, and luxuriance of style. The best evi- dence, however. wpc. to be found in the power wielded by eloquence, which would not fail tc strike those who witnessed the magnetic effect produced upon a large gathering of Welshmen .swayed by a native orator. Another strongly marked feature wa.s the power of imagination, which was often found accompanving the forenamed mental quality. It found expression in figure and metaphor, in the power of throwing oneself in the rlace of a charac- ter delineated or into a scene depicted, or in poetic creation. So pronounced was this faculty in the Welsh mind that the great wonder was that Wales had not as yet produced a novelist of the nrst order. Nor must thev forget what an important element the Celtic spirit had formed, as Matthew Arnold had observed, in giving to English poetry, as opposed to thatt of purely Teutonic races, a particular re- finement and delicacv. Again, no one who had come in contact with the Welsh at any age or of either sex could fail to be struck by the laudable love of knowledge and enlightenment that thev exhibited. In short, in no country were, learning and genius held in greater reverence than in Wales. Among the minor traits the sense of proportion seemed to be a marked feature in the mental constitution of the Celt. In literary composition, for in- stance, this was exhibited in the balance of sentence or period, in general sym- metry cf design and workmanship, in utilitv of structure, tone, and feeling; and featuTe. an outcome probably of the artistic instinct to which he had re- ferred. was an invaluable equipment for literary pursuits. So, too, was a habit of treating fl. literary discussion rhetorically. Did the Celts discuss, for example, the merits or statements of an author, he threw himself into the controversy with the same ardour as if he were engaged in a debate. His admiration had been ex- cited by the laudable love of knowledge displayed by Welsh students, the self- sacrifice cheerfully mada by the horny- handed sons of toil, collier and quarry- man, to secure for their gons the educat- tional privileges that they 'themselves Iksci not enjoved. It was said that the Welsh in England were apt to be clannish and herd together. That might be true, but at any rate, their gatherings were intended to elevate .and )ennoble. The Welshman's hero was not a Tom Savers n.or a Derby winner; his ideal was eminence on the platform or pulpit or the Eisteddfod. Nor did these diversions lose their fascination for the Welsh out-, side Offa's Dyke. It was remarkable how many movements affecting Wales had token their rise among Welsh colonies in England and elsewhere. For example, there was the new learning which was pas- sing over the Principality. Many of the patrons an(' promoters of Welsh litera- ture bad 1 sen domiciled in London: many of t' classical w riters had lived paft or mr of their liv on the English side of thr Severn. Hi hearers should he stimul ad by the xample of many Welsh wor ties and 1 minaries in the literary fi nament v T had been con- nected with Liverpool -id its neighbour- hood. Wales would steer successfully between the Scylla of a cramping parti- cularism and the Charybdis of an arid uniformity (appHiautse).

North Wales Agricultural Students' Association. The first annual meeting of this newly- formed association was held at the University College of Bangor on Tuesday. The main objects of the association are stated to be to promote the study of agricultural subjects, particularly amongst thd past and present students of the college; to provide opportu- nities for the interchange of views on mat- ters d practical interest in this connection; and to render assistance to members in the purchase of foodstuffs, seed, &c., to encour- age the formation of branch societies in rural districts throughout North Wales, &c. Mr C. Brunner Jones is the hon. secretary of the association. Col. Platt, C.B., of Gor- ddinog, the first president of the association, who is keenly interested in the work of the association, and has endowed an Agricultural Scholar- ship in connection with the Agricultural Section of the Bangor University College, value L30 per annum, and tenable for two years, to students from the counties of Ang- lesey and Carnarvon, was to have read an address, but Principal Reichel presided in his place, and announced to the extretaely small audience present that, owing to a family bereavement, Colonel Platt was un- able to attend, and asked him (Principal Reichel) to read the address. Colonel Platt, in his address, said: —Since 1 about the year 1879 agricultural has passed through a long and trying depression; and most thoughtful people "interested in the matter have sought panaceas for remedying the evil. In common with many others I have thought that the difficulty might be met by putting a bounty on wheat, by re- lieving the land of some of its burdens, by a reduction of railway rates, and such like things. We stand in need of improvement in some of these matters. As regards the burdens of taxation which agricultural areas have to bear, something has already been done, and I hope that yet more may be donei in the same direction and in the way of cheapening the sale of land. I do not think we can touch! the principle of Free Trade; for the fact that Free Trade brings cheap food to the millions far outweighs any argu- ment in favour of Protection. The desira- bility of reducing railway rates for agri- cultural produce throughout the whole country, so that the British farmer may be placed on fair footing of equality with his foreign competitors, demands urgent at- tention. A fairer tariff would encourage, and eventually enable, the homd producer to establish a remunerative trade, more es- pecially in perishable commodities such as butter and milk, between agricultural dis- I tricts and the large towne wherein dwell the multitude of consumers. But whilst the consideration of these and kindred topics is extremely valuable, and has been forced upon all classes interested in the land by the great depression in agriculture, I am inclined to think that the most useful lesson of all lessons taught by the "bad times to the British farmer is this—namely, that FARMING IS A PROGRESSIVE INDUSTRY, capable of improvement in all its branches. ¡ù bad Irimes have killed the bad old fallacy that "What my father and grandfathr? did is good etaough for me." The bad tim have taught the farmer the value of energy and f skill; they have quickened his interest in new and useful machinery; they have taught him to appreciate up-to-date and scientific culture, and have made him alive to the value of agricultural science and education. The older farmers to-day have not entered into the full enjoyment of these blessings,but that the wisest have learnt their lesson is proved by their anxiety to see their sons I and daughters taught the principles and practice of good farming—theoretically at I a college like this and practically at the col- lege farm and other similar centres. You, the agricultural students, to whom I wish more directly to point my remarks, have privileges which were not accorded to the majority of the farmers of the present day. From you, therefore, much is expected. You have to show that systematic instruction can do as much, if not more, for British farming as systematic instruction has done for agriculture in other countries. I do not enter upon the great question whether our rural population is properly educated ftnr it.s sphere in life, but I cannot help con- trasting the living product of our education- al machinery with the living product of the DANISH SYSTEM OF INSTRUCTION. The Danes have gone a long way to solve the question how to keep the people on the land, whilst they have creiated an agricul- tural indtistry which is one of thie greatest successes of modern times. Last-year Den- mark exported to England no less than £7,553,436 worth of butter. I venture to suggest that our constant aim and the ideal of our association should be to make the re- putation of British farming not only equal, but superior, to the- reputation of any other farming in the world, to make the pursuit of the agricultural calling as honourable and as remunerative as the practice of any in- dustry or craft in town or country. And this applies not to you only, but to all who have similar advantages in other centres of agricultural instruction. Thie end of good farming is the production of good stuff. The British farmer has, no doubt, to contend I with many adverse influences. But be of good cheeir; he has many counter-balancing I advantages. We have an ever-increasing population, and the masses of the people are in properous circumstances. MORE FOOD AND A BETTER QUALITY OF IT are in constant demand. Our people want, and are prepared to pay for, better-fed be^f and mutton, better butter, better cheese, and pure milk, better-cured ham andbacon, and better everything else that improved farming can supply. If the British farmer has the energy and the skill to cater for the demand, he will surely secure the trade against all comers. Pure bred cattle and ) sheep, scientifically fed, will give quality to ) the consumer and profit to the farmer. The same remark is true in re'gard to butter, j cheese, milk, and pigs. If it were neces- | sary to prove the existence of the demand for the best farm produce, I would point to the fact that we in this country imported last year from other countries such com- modities as butter, margarine, cheese, milk, poultry, and eggs to thie stupendous tune of £ 32,500,000. Suppose by better farming f the British farmers could secure but 10 per cent. of this trade it would mean a perman- ent endowment of notess than 3! millions 4 to British agriculture. I do not labour the truism that there is room for improvement in all directions; but you will permit me to indicate a few points of detail. We are fortunate in possessing C5 CATTLE OF A STERLING BREED, I believe their merit is such that, if care be used in selecting sire ana dam, in registering pedigree in our Herdbook, so as to unable us to use only those strains of blood which have proved themselves of special merit either as producers of milk or beef, we have a mine of wealth at hand. But success can- not be attained by any haphazard system of breeding, whether with our indigenous cattle or any other breed. For an illustra- tion of the truth of this statement I point out to you the world-wide success of short- horns or Herefords, and the more modern carefully-bred Angus or Galloways. In the matter of sheep breeding, a great deal of improvement is to be desired in the method of breeding and feeding Welsh mountain sheep suitable for bur hills. The breled of pigs has improved during the last twenty years, but there is much yet to be done; whilst thld improvement of the breed of ponies—stationary now for a long time offers a new field of remunerative labour for the enterprising farmer of average intelli- gence. If I touched upon the necessity of improving the culture of the soil, I would merely say that as aU kinds of land are capable of growing something to a profit, it is the duty Ot scientific farmers to take ad- vantage of what science* has to say about the nature of soils, and to apply the teachings of science to the art of farming. But, as it the first duty of the British farmer to improve the quality of his goods, the next is to devise means of marketing to the best advantage. Your association can hardly do better than to take "improvement" for its first plank, and "diffusion" for its second. And co-operation is the secret of successful and remunerative marketing. THE EXODUS OF OUR PEOPLE FROM THE COUNTRY to the town is a fact which causes much dis- quietude to many people, but such migra- tions cannot be stopped unless village life! presents counter attractions to the attrac- tions-often garish and undesirable—of the towns. You may be able, to do a great deal to improve the character of education in our rural schools so that an enthusiasm for nature may be kindled in the children of our villages, and you may help to ketep the love of the country alive in these children through life by providing opportunities, such as public reading rooms and kindred insti- tutions in every parish, for the mental and moral improvement of the population. And IMP now to sum up. Keep nothing but good stock-from milk cows to chickens. Feed your beast properly and get the befet results. Learn your business thoroughly: work hard don't be disheartened. Teach the agri- cultural labourer to work honestly and to love his work, and help him to make his home hiappy and his leisure profitable by cultivating, say, poultry and bees on pro- per lines. Do ygur utmost to spread th-0 principles of good farming. "Remember the Britisher's boast that he never knew himself beaten. Help to make British farm- ing the best farming in thie world. I thank you for your patient hearing, and I now declare this 'Agricultural Association duly launched on its, I hope, useful career (ap- plause). Mr William Edwards moved a vote of thanks to Colonel Platt for his address, and also a vote of condolence to Colonel Platt. He considered that Colonel Platt had done more for North Wales farmers than any other single man. He (the speaker) was afraid the farmers of North Wales regarded

Vt ki LY ft iEt% o THE LATE CAPTAIN THOMSON.- The funeral of the late Captain Thomas Titonison, whose death was recorded by; us last week, took place at St. Seiriol's Church ou Wednesday. The funeral was a private one, the following relatives attending: Messrs Alexander Thomson and John Thomson (brothers), John Thomson, Tho- mas Thomson, James Thomson, and Arthur Thomson (sons). A large number of friends attended at the house and graveside in- cluding Dr. Fox Russell, Captains Kendall, Higgiuson, and Manning, Messrs Jeffrey Smitn, Theophilus J. Roberts, Tatum, Ham- ilton, Henry Jones, Newton, and others. lne cottin was of polished oak with massive brass mouueingb, and was covcured with the Union Jack. The pall-bearers were eight seamen belonging to the City of Dub- lin Co., in charge of Mr Prouting (eeoond citic-er) and Mr Rd. Owen (boatswain). The service was an impressive one, and was con- ducted by Canon Walter Thomas, M.A., and the Rev. James Jones. Deceased was 71 years of age. The undertaker was Mr Owen Hugties, Carreg Domas. Wreaths had been sent by Derby Lodge, No. 724 Free- masons (of which deceased was a member), Mr Alexander Thomson, ^r and Mrs Parry, Devonald street, and Mr and Mrs H. Jones, Portmadoc. A k tter was received by the relatives of deceased from Captain Scobell Cicpp, R.N., expressing his regret at his inability to attend the funeral, owing to nis being in London. SUNDAY SCHOOL ANNIVERSARY.— On Good Friday the 39th anniversary of the Sunday School m connection with the Taber- jusele Chapel, Thomas street, was celebra*- ted. The hrst gathering was held in the afternoon, presided over by Mr Wm. Lewis, conductor being Mr Hugh Jones, Upper Park street, ioth of whom discharged their ciutias with great efficiency. Suitable re- c tations and solos were rendered by the children in a very pleasing and effective manner. The evening meeting was pre- sidied over by the Rev. R. D. Williams, whilst Mr R. Men Williams discharged the duties of conductor in his usual happy man- ner. Reciting and singing again enlivened the proceedings. The adjudicators were i-he Rev. Wm. Griffith, New Tabernacle, an4 Councillor E. D. Jones in the prose Com- petitions, and in the musical competitions Mr R. Parry, organist, and Mr J. Hughes, Valley. Much praiise is due to Mr J. Hughes for his painstaking efforts to train the children in choral singing. Messrs Hughes and! Pierce, Valley, rendered soloe and duets during the proceedings. Mise Edith Jones, Upper rark street, proved herself an able accompanist at the gather- ings. The meetings were largely attended. WAR FUND ENTERTAINMENT. An entertainment was given at the Town Hall last week by the Holyhead Silver Star Min- strels, to a crowded house. The prooeeds were in aid of the war fund, and the con- cert was a complete success. The follow- mg took part: -Interlocutor, Mr Frank B. I Griffith; tambourines, Messrs J. T. Wil- liams, E. R. Jones, and Wm. Jones bones, Messrs E. Saunders, A. O. E. Bush, and H R. Bannister; violins, Messrs Barton and party; comic and sentimental songfr and duets, Messrs J. T. Williams, W. J. Reed, (A. O. hJ. Bush, J. Mathioo, W. Ballyn, H. R. Bannister, Ben Picton, E. R. Jones, B. H. Jones, E. Saunders, R. Ro- berts, and C. Guest. The songs and chor- uses were weil rendered, and the audience showed their approval by loudly applauding the different tunes. Mr Evans, of the cinematograph,, very kindly lent two of his performers, viz., Little Cliff and Mr H. Å. Belzac, both performers eliciting loud ap- piause. The duties of accompanist were i-niy performed oy Miss A. G. Jones. The secretaries of the movement were Mr G. H. Morgan and Mr W. S. Jones; the treasurer being Mr Percy Weekes. TEAS AND ENTERTAINMENTS.—On Wednesday, last week, the members of the English Presbyterian Band of Hope olosed their session by holding a tea meeting, which was well attended and much enjoyed. Afterwards a, miscellaneous entertainment was given, the Rev. John Hughes occupy- ing the chair. A good programme was gone through, the fc lowing taking part :—Re- citations, Mr Prouting and Miss Edith Mar- tiii song, Miss Alice Pope; violin and or- gan duets, Miss and Master Sinfie.u. Ad- dresses were delivered by the foiicwing: — Rev. John Hughes, Messrs J. More ton. Prichard, together with Miss Annie Ro- berts.—At Gwynfa (W.) the children and friends were also treated to a splendid tea. In the evening a varied entertainment wae given, there being a very large attendance. The evening passed off very successfully.

the work being done in the agricultural de- partment of the College as not of much practical utility. That was a mistake. He was much struck by Colonel Platt's emphasis of the necessity of a man knowing his busi- ness thoroughly, and also with the colonel's reference to the value of co-operation. Mr Priestley seconded th motion. He never knew Col. Piatt to put his hand to anything without putting into it sound com- mon sense. As an old farmer he advised the young men to be practical in all they did. Mr T. Roberts, Aber, spoke of Colonel Platt's great services in the improvement of the breed of horses and cattle,, Proceedmg, Mr Roberts said they had heard a great deal ■ about the improvements they were to get from the railway companies. Every body of agriculturists, from John-o'-Groats. to Land's End, had been trying to solve that business, and a fEW years ago a farmer at Tattenhall, near Chester, found he could send a ton of cheese via Birkenhead and New York to London at a cheaper rate than he could send it direct to the metropolis by the London and North Western Railway (laugh- i ter). The only way to deal with this mat- ter was by making use of opposition lines. For instance, he found that when they per- sistently consigned goods to distant places to Chester, and there diverted them to the Great Western Railway, they would get bet- ter terms from the local company (hear, hear), such as they were prepared to give to thie Irish Channel. To get their pro- duce carried on fair terms they must keep their eyes open (applause). They could not have a royal road to learning, and if they I wanted to make their farms pay they must be prepared for bard work. He congratu- lated Mr Walter Long upon the very excel- lent bill he had brought forward in the House of Commons, and if he would bring in a consolidating bill, which he re- ferred to in his speech in conjunction with the measure he had now piloted through its second reading, the agriculturist would then have the chance of properly understanding I his position (hear, hear). Agriculture would always be crippled until there was an Agricultural Holdings Act passed that would encourage a man of means to launch out upon his farm (applause). The great point I about the success of the Danish system was the support accorded to agriculture by the I Danish Government, and as to butter pro- I duction, nothing could beat the betet kinds of Welsh butter, and what was needed was i to raise to that standard the poorer quali- ties. The dairy schools, with hard work and common sense on the part of the dairy j workers, would bring that about (applause). With regard to Welsh cattle, Mr Roberts I said they had a splendid breed in Wales. But he thought they could improve it a little more if they took great care, and do with Welsh cattle what had been done with the Ayrshire breed. The Ayrshire breeders took care not to keek a bull unless that bull was out of a good milker. He was sorry to say that, as regards their Black Cattle Society, they had been working on a wrong principle. All the befet ca-ttle that had been put into the Herdbook were cattle that had been taking prizes, with a little bit of foreign blood in their veins. He main- tained that they did not need to improve their Welsh cattle further than to carry out the arrangement he had indicated, a means by which the Ayrshire breeders had per- fected their stock. As to what Mr Edwards had said about co-operation in the matter of manures, he could not understand how it was that the farmers of the two counties did not combine to have every ton of manure I supplied to them, and to see that what they got in the way of manure was what it was represented to be. He understood thlat th-d Carnarvonshire County Council had taken a step in this direction, and had ap- pointed Dr Dobbie as agricultural analyst (applause). Dr Dobbie was a man who would not pass a single pound of manure wbicu was not all it was represented to btA (hear, hear). He thought the farmers of Anglesey and Carnarvonshire ought to form an association for this and cognate purposes (applause). Other speakers followed, after which the resolutions were put and carried. At the close of the meeting a committee was held, when the officers for tie year were appointed, and other routine business done. OFTEN IMITATED, but n< vr equalled.
