OCTANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 205 



inform'd that the inhabitants of IJla and Jura 

 flill continue to brew a very potable liquor by 

 mixing two-thirds of the tops of hather to one- 

 third of malt. This is not the only refrefliment 

 that hather affords : the hardy Highlanders fre- 

 quently make their beds with it, laying the roots 

 downwards, and the tops upwards ; which, tho* 

 not quite fo foft and luxurious as beds of down 

 are altogetlier as refrelliing to thofe who deep 

 on them, and perhaps much more healthy.
