Useful Hints. To keep the hands from chapping at this time of the year, always rub in a little rose- water and glycerine whilst thsy are damp. Sprains should be bathed with cold water and the affected part given complete rest. Warm friction with a rough towel will generally give quick relief to cramp in the legs. Sea sickness can sometimes be relieved by bandaging one eye. Lemons effect a cure with some people. An invalid unable to take more than a small amount of nourishment may sometimes relish a cup of coffee poured boiling hot upon the beaten yolk of an egg, or the yolk may be beaten in a cup, seasoned with salt and pepper and boiling water added to form a broth. This, served with one or two crisp crackers, or wafers, makes an agreeable relish. To remove walnut and fruit stains from the fingers, dip them in strong tea, rubbing the nails with it with a nail brush wash in warm water the stains come out instantly. When peeling onions if they are held under water they will not affect the eyes. Plates and dishes which have become brown by being put into the oven may be easily cleaned by rubbing with damp salt. Dried potato peelings are good for lighting fires which are required to burn up quickly. Nothing makes knives more blunt than letting them come in contact with boiling fat. Jars should always be washed in tepid water, as hot water both cracks them and makes them porous.

Tea Spoils Beauty. It is noticeable that there has been a dis- tinct falling-off in recent years of that rich, healthy bloom which gives the English com- plexion its unequalled charm, and that is due to the increased consumption of tea. Bad complexions invariably accompany bad digestions, and there is no beverage in the world so bad for the digestion as tea. In treating a case of bad English complexion my first order is Give up tea." I know the craving, and how hard it often is to break off the bad habit, but one cannot have a good digestion, and its natural outcome-a good complexion—and go on drinking tea."

New Version. "What did you say John?" queries Mrs John, viewing her full length reflection in the mirror. I said," repeated John distinctly, "it is clothes that break the man."

Conway v. Prestatyn. NORTH WALES JUNIOR CUP, 3rd ROUND. The above match was played on "The Morfa," Conway, on Saturday last in wet weather. Prestatyn were without several of their regular players, Tom Brooks, Jack Jones, G. Glass, and Holbrook being absent, and their places were taken by J. Parry, T. Williams, T. Edwards, and J. Roberts. The Conway team was at full strength, their players being drawn from Colwyn Bay, Llandudno, Penmaenmawr, Bangor, etc., the team with one exception being the same that won the cup two seasons ago. The referee considered the ground unfit for play (the biggest part of it was under water), but the captains decided to play. Williams won the toss for Prestatyn, and Conway played against the wind. Prestatyn at once attacked, and the home custodian saved a beauty from D. Hughes, whilst a minute later, J. Roberts shot over the bar. Bell Jones followed suit shortly afterwards. Conway got going, and after some mud larking" in a pool of water, the ball, was worked into the net. Conway continued to trouble the visitors' defenders, till J. Williams cleared with a huge punt. J. Parry got away and sent in a shot that hit the upright, J. 0 Roberts finishing the movement by placing the ball in the net. Once more the visitors got down and W. R. Jones sent in a terrific shot which the home keeper failed to properly hold and rolled over the line with the ball, but quickly re- covered and cleared. Not one of the Prestatyn players claimed, although the ball had crossed the line by a foot, and the point was lost. Conway got away, and from a ruck of players the ball was again paced past Glass. Half-time Conway 2, Prestatyn 1. On resuming it was noticed the wind had risen, and Conway at once attacked, but Prestatyn defended well. and it was not till some 15 minutes that Glass was again beaten by a shot that entered the corner of the net. The visitors now played up, and D. Hughes scored. Conway were awarded a penalty, Glass saving brilliantly. After this there was no holding the visitors, and shots were sent in from all directions, one by D. Hughes being a grand attempt. Parry now got nicely away and centred from the corner flag, Bell Jones and J. Roberts helping the ball into the net, but to the sur- prise of everyone, the referee disallowed the point Three minutes from time Watts scored the best goal of the match. With a minute to play the Conwayitesgot through, and finding Glass unaided simply rushed the ball into the net. Final Result: Conway 4, Prestatyn 8. The first half was very poor, but the play in the second portion of the game was worth seeing. Conway were far and away the heavier team and thin was in their favour. Glass in goal was in rattling form, whilst J. T. Williams and Pryce Jones were also in great form. The halves were very weak, only Bell Jones doing himself justice. The forwards in the first half were not up to form although they had the hardest of luck in not scoring, but during the second half there was really no holding them, the outside men (Watts and Parry) centreing well, whilst the three inside players shot well, but with very little luck. Prestatyn fully deserved to draw. The followiug was the Prestatyn team:— goal, W. Glass backs, J. T. Williams and Pryce Jones; halves, T. Williams, Bell Jones, and T. Edwards forwards, J. Parry, W. R. Jones, D. Hughes, J. Roberts, and L. Wattb. During the interval Prestatyn handed in a protest against the size of the goals, and the referee, on measuring, found them too short by three inches. Prestatyn have thus a good chance of a replay if not of claiming the game. Conway also handed in a protest against W. Jones having played in the English Cup. This they will find impossible to uphold, so the Association will be the richer by 10/6. Referring to a letter in last week's Weekly," in which Spectator proposes that the Saturdays and Thursdays join forces for the Easter Monday Football Competition at Rhyl, I should like to ask Spectator if he thinks the Prestatyn (Saturday) Club would throw out players who have played throughout the season, in order to let in players of the Thursdays team ? It is cer- tainly a good "local team," but local players have a nasty knack of failing to turn out. Six of the players of "Spectator's" team were chosen to play at Conway last week, and the only ones to turn up were the three officials of the Club, namely the captain, hon. sec., and asst. hon. sec.
