A HOT-SAND BAG. An inexpensive and most durable substitute for the hot-water bag is a hct-sand bag. This may be had by making a bag of the draw-string type out of pretty, so it flannel, or any mate- rial in at may siir1 est itself, and filling it when needed, with hot sand. Besides being econonlical-for a household could have a dozen of these at little cost—they have a "cushiony" feeling that the hot-water bag lacks. It may be added that it holds the heat quite as long as its prototype.

THE NEED FOR PATIENCE. Be patient with your friends. They are neither omniscient nor omnipotent. They can- not see your heart, and may misunderstand you. They do not know what is best for you, and may seloct what is worst. Their arms are short, and they may not be "able- to reach what you ask. What if also they lack purity of purpose or tenacity of affection; do not you also lack these graces? Patience is your refuge. Endure, and in enduring conquer them, and, if not them, then at leant yourself. Above all. be patient with your beloved. Love is the best thing on the earth, but it is to be handled tend.uly, and impatience is a nurse that kills it. lie patient with your pains and cares. We know it is easy to say and hard to do. But, dear friend, you must be patient. These things are killed by enduring them, and made strong to bite and sting by I ced- ing them with your liets and fears.

PLANTS IN BEDROOMS. Plants are not injurious either in a sitting- room or in a bedroom. The conclusion come to by pharmacists is that the influence of plants in bedrooms upori the health of tho occupa.nts is beneficial, espe ialiy to sufferers from consump- tion, plants without flowers being preferable. Miss Florence Nightingale, whose opinion on this subject is sure to be taken with respect, says: "A great fallacy prevails about flowers poisoning the air of sick-rooms. No one ever saw them overcrowding the sick-room; but if they did, they actually absorb carbonic acid gas and give off oxygen. Cut flowers also decompose water and produce oxygen. Lilies and some other very odorous plants may, perhaps, give out sroel's unsuited to a close room, which should be avoided."

MID-FLINT RAILWAY. At the Rhyl Council meeting on Monday it was stated that the deputation appointed at the recent meeting at Mold on the question of the proposed Mid-Flintshire Railway had interviewed the directors of the Great Central Railway Company and believed there was a possibility of something resulting from the movement, though not perhaps in the form originally contemplated. Should anything come out of it, it would be made public before the end of the week (hear, hear).

TO PA OF HOTTLES. In packing bottle.?, first see that the corks or stoppers are securely fixed. Then slip the bottle inside an old kid tilove severed at wrist, and tie this round it Lrùdy. Place the bottle next, cork foremost, into a stocking, which is turned down as if for puttin, on the "foot fold the stocking over" and over, and secure it with a pin. Place the bottles between two layers of clothes, taking care that none of them are in contact with anything iuu-ii.

HOME INFLUENCE. The law of proportion governs all things. Even the si'.rii !e li e, about whir-h there is so much comment, is influenced by this law. It is not necessary. on the other hand, to go to extremes. One can be simple in one's tastes and habits, and yet live in the whirl of a town life. True simplicity consists in quiet taste in the home and in dress, a cheerful, peaceful routine of working lire, simple and wholesome diet, and careful management of an income, however small. Women bar i;y realise how much (.epends on tr-e.s', or how they can do to ivituvicf men i; i ?■ iii only t.Le tiro irjuLle. No nasi who has simple, weii-oocke-i neais at home wou'a ■wish to have them elsewhere. And' so lunch de- pends on the borne influc-nce of women. The wife who is cheer"1. v. »II dressed, and a clever housekeeper can always keep her hnsfs&iid'a affection. If her tastes are simple they will fluenco his, as on the other hand her extrava- gance would naturally lead to his.

THE CARE OF THE HAIR. If there is one time in the year more than another when it behoves us to pay attention to our h-iir, it is at the fall of the leaf, when it has an inrjiruition to come off, and needs strengthen- ing rind care. It is quite natural that it should come off a little, and if it is only a little no "tti great harm is done but if it goes on it should be stopped. Not one (by in our lives should our hair be neglected, says the Queen, and each woman she aid study the nature of her own tresses Strong,, coarse hair wants totally diSerpnt treatment from that of fine, weak hair. With few exceptions all tresses should be brushed every night with brushes that are o ten washed. If one is used in which the dust has been allowed to congregate more harm is done than good; but it is a mistake to use too hard brushes, and in the case of fine, weak hair to brush it too much. But the scalp should be kept scrupulously clean; no hair can grow pro- perly if the roots are choked with dandruff. Many hairdressers counsel washing with soap and water every week, taking care that the hair is well dried afterwards. This is easy enough with a moderate amount of chevelure, but not at all when, as so many English women can boast, there are ropes of hair. A raw egg is the best of all simple shampoos, beaten up carefully and rubbed into the scalp, and then washed with v.arm water. Health, mental and physical, tells tremendously on the hair, and while the kind that is naturally moist needs an astringent lction, the dry hair wants something of an oily nature rubbed into the roots.

An advertisement appears on the first page of this paper interesting to those who are wishful of providing them- selves with a supply of these tokens of remembrance; but time is going by, and the choice of patterns gets less as Christmas draws nigh.

SCRAPS. There were no League matches played on Saturday last. The Prestatyn team, to meet Rhyl Victoria at Prestatyn on Saturday, will be reconstructed, and if the players chosen will only do their best the locals should be able to register their first win in the newly-formed league. The following is the team chosen Goal, W. Glass; hacks, J. T. Williams, Jack Jones; halves, E. Mostyn, W. Jones, and Tom Brooks forwards R. Hughes, W. Jones, J. Parry, E. Holbrook, and G. Glass. A few words about the players, especially the new mm, will perhaps be interesting. W. Glass, J. T. Williams, Jack Jones, Edwin Mostyn, Robin Hughes, G. Glass, and E. Holbrook have already done good service for the Blues this season, and are each well-known to followers of football in Prestatyn. The new half-backs are Wra. Jones and Tom Brooks. The former is a young player who has shewn good form with several junior teams in Rhyl, and Tom Brooks is a local youth who has assisted the ''Thursdays" in several of their games. He is well-built, and should be of great service to Prestatyn. The two new forwards are Wm. Jones and Joseph Parry. Jones has played at outside right for Mostyn with great success for several seasons past; he is very fast and a grand shot, and should make a good partner for Robert Hughes. Joseph Parry is another local, hailing from Gwaenysgor. His usual position is outside right, but he should, with his height and weight, make a first class pivot. 0 ]'I The team is certainly a good one and should do well in the League and Cups, provided they play together. It is probable that W. Stone, Tom Wynne Ellis, and Robert Hughes will be seen in the ranks of the Victoria. Jack Wynne Ellis and D. W. Jones should also play, but the former has not yet become eligible, whilst D. W. Jones has signed with so many clubs that I am afraid if he plays he will lose the Victoria a couple of points. The kick off is arranged for 2-30, and a good crowd should be present to give the new players a hearty welcome. Probably Mr J. E. Jones of Holywell will act as Referee.

FOURTEEN DAYS! The L. and N.W. Railway Company were summoned at St. Helens for using an unjust weighing machine at Crank Railway Station. Inspector Macdonald said he found a platform weighing machine of an old and obsolete pattern which registered 591b. when he put a 561b. standard weight on it. When he tested it at 1121b. it registered 1171b. Mr Fenna said he appeared to express the regret of the company that that matter had arisen. The machine had not been used since. The Mayor Anything known ?—Superin- tendent Baxendale Yes, sir (laughter). On June 26th this year for an unjust weighing machine they were fined 10s and costs at Widnes. The Mayor Fined 10s and 12s 6d costs. (After a pause)-Or fourteen days (laughter). Mr Fenna I am afraid we are a corporate body, and there is no one to go to goal.- Mr Dixon-Nuttall (magistrate) They will come for you.—Mr Fenna I suppose they will have to take me (laughter). 0 Printed and Published by J.
