mqhtg an SATURDAY, JANUARY S, 1891. THE WEEK'S NEWS. -———<<t-—— (From Thursday, Dec. 25th, to Tuesday, Dec. 30th, 1890, r'nclusive.) A steerage passenger on board the Britannia liner has committed suioide by jumping over- board. A lllau named John Healy is in custody at Mitchelstown charged with having killed bit wife on Christmas Eve. The Scotch Railway strike shows no marked improvement, and an unyielding attitude is ttill maintained by masters and men. General Booth's son, who is now in New York, declares that his father wroto every chapter of In Darkest England." Mr. Thomas Richardson, Unionist member of Parliament for the Hartlepools, died suddenly on Monday. The North representatives of Rugby foot- ball on Monday at Leeds gained a victory over the South by one goal and three tries to one goal. It has been finally determined to present a petition against the return of Sir J. Pope Hennessey for North Kilkenny. An appeal to the people of Ireland to stand by Mr. Parnell has been extensively circu- lated through Athlone, Roscommon, and Westmeath. The severe frost, whioh has now endured for nineteen conseont;™ days, is the longest since 1813, when a frost was recorded for 32 con- secutive days. Alr. Justin M'Carthy, in an interview with a press representative at Paris said he believed that after Mr. Parnell's decla- rations after the Kilkenny election all idea of reconciliation must be abandoned. Details are to hand of severe fighting between Redskin Indians and United States troops. After desperate hand-to-hand con- flicts, the Indians were routed, with terrible loss. On Monday at the adjourned inquest on the body of Margaret Hewart, or Isabella Cowie, who was murdered in a cab by Arthur Penfold, now in custody, a verdict of wilful murder against the accused was returned. A Pine Ridge telegram says that Major Whitesides, with a detachment of cavalry, has captured Big Foot and 150 of his Indian followers near Porcupine Creek. The hostile Indians in the Bad Lands have surrendered. The American Government has discovered a system of fraud by its own consular offieers, defrauding the State of one million dollars, by selling to exporters for a nominal sum con- sular certificates in blank. A deputation from Scboll, County Cork, waited on Saturday on Mr. Balfour to urge the advisability of loeal improvements, and to obtain assistance from the Government. The Chief Seoretary said the proposal would receive his anxious consideration. Professor Lant Carpenter has committed suicide by shooting himself at his residence, at Craven Park, Harlesden, a suburb of North- west London. Owing to signs of failing mental powers, he had been under the care of an attendant, but lately his condition appeared to have improved, On Saturday evening an inquest was held at Carmarthen County Asylum into the cir- cumstances attending the death of a female patient who had evaded her attendant, pulled the guard from the fire, and set herself ablaze. A verdict of accidental death was returned. The strike of railway employés in Scotland remains unsettled, and the determination on each side to carry on the conflict appears to be unrelaxed. The railway authorities are enabled to increase both passenger and goods traffic by the aid of additional labour obtained from England. Mr. Frank Smith, "General" Booth's prin- cipal coadjutor, has withdrawn from the Salvation Army Mr. Smith, who is credited with having written most of the work In Darkest England," has resigned upon a ques- tion of principle in the management of the organisation. In an interview with a press representative Mr, Parnell said he believed that time was on his side, and that he looked hopefully to the result of a dissolution. The Kilkenny elec- tion was lost, he said, in consequence of the pressure brought to bear by the priests, and a petition would be lodged. The body of a young lady named M'Dowell, who with her husband recently returned from the South African diamond fields, where the latter amassed a considerable fortune, was on Sunday found lying on the road leading from Bangor to Groomsport, County Down, and a small bottle labelled Carbolic aoid" was found beside her. At a meeting of the Sliding-wcale Com- mittee for South Wales and Monmouthshire held at Cardiff on Saturday, it was decided that the sliding-soale arrangement should oontinue, without prejudice, pending the result of appeals, which the ooUiery owners are determined to carry through, against the decision of Judge Owen, respecting payment for small coal. On Tuesday Thomas Macdonald, aged 37, was exeouted in KirkdaleGaol, Liverpool, for the murder of -Miss Holt, a schoolmistress, near Bolton. Robert Kitohing, aged 34, a gardener, was also hanged yesterday, the execution taking,place in York Gaol, for the murder of a police-sergeant on the 19th of September last. Both convicts confessed their crimes and were penitent. A disastrous fire broke out on "Tuesday in Queen Victoria-street, London, in which several large warehouses were destroyed and damage inflicted estimated at £ 400,000. The Metropolitan Welsh Church of St. Benet was endangered, but, fortunately, escaped with but little injury. The frost was so great that the water froze M it was discharged from the engines. On Saturday a special meeting was held at Lampeter of the Cardiganshire Joint Standing Committee, which was marked by a heated discussion, Mr. Willis Bund protesting against what he considered the irregular manner in which the majority carried on the business, and, on the other hand, complaints being made of Mr. Willis Bund trying to over-ride the aotion of the majority by com- municating with the Home Secretary. Mr. Gladstone yesterday celebrated the anniversary of his eighty-first birthday at Hawarden, and was the recipient of a great number of telegrams of oongratulatioii from all parts or the country. During the day a memorial fountain commemorative of the jolden wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone was unveiled by Mrs. Johnson, of Wroughton Hall. The fountain is the gift of the resi- denta of Hawardan, irrespective of politics, and is erected just outside the principal entrance to Hawarden Park. A farmer named Joseph Leathcrdale, of Salopt, a small Essex village, was missed on Saturday last, and his body has been found doubled up in a cupboard in his lonely home- stead. There was evidenoe of his having been shot at close quarters, and at the nape of the neck there was a deep wound. A halter had been twisted round the neck, and the head tied up in a sack. Suspicion fell on the dead man's nephew, Arthur Leatherdale, a youth of seventeen, who has been arrested, and who admits that he was present when his uncle was shot, and that he helped to put the body in the cupboard. He says that four or five were concerned in the orime, and that he will not split."

Thou Shining Star. Thou shining star! thy brilliant 1ight Enthralls my soul, enchains my sight; Most beautiful of all thy kind- No star like thee above I find. Why cleaves my fancy thus to thee ? Is it that "love" I seem to see Through thy pure brightness, lovely star? Love may be near, though seeming far. And art thou shining thus to-night To fill my breast with hopes more bright ? Oh, fairest one, shine still, shine on, Earth's fleeting joys will soon be gone; But high above all earthly joys and woes My heaven with ceaseless radiance glows. Gleaming like thee, oh' glorious star on high, And lighting up the dark and sombre sky. So, fore my yearning vision Heaven seems The glorious summit of my happy dreams. Clyiach. MAGGIE GRIFFITHS. The Mumbbs Head at Midnight. The day is o'er; behind the village sleeps; Around me rocks project against the sky: In front, the tide in tippling wavekts creeps Along the darkened eand and shingle dry. And on the air is borne with mournful sound The solemn ding-dong of a wave-rocked bell, That tells of hidden rocks that lie around, And bids each pilot fear the dangerous swell. Borne, too, upon the gentle breeze there comes The muffled tone of some far-dittant wave- As proudly o'er the rest it swiftly run?, And spends its force in some dark, hidden cave. And oft the silence's broken by a moan That seems to come from somewhere far below— 'Tis but the anchored boats that creak and groan As they are rocked by wavelets to and fro. Far out at sea a moving light is seen, That grows each moment smaller to the eye, Until it fades, and leaves where it has been A darker gloom-a blot of sea and sky. Along the coast lights dicker here and there; Some die away, but some all night remain, They mark the spot of death, of dull despair, Of weary watching and of aching pain. And high above, upon a grass-clothed rock, Stand out the outlines of a cottage low Tis there in summer happy tourists flock, And gaze with wonder at the scene below. And some way off a larger outline still Stands out with bold and stern majestic mien- Some ruined csutle—high on rock tipped rill, That adds but to the grandeur of the scene. Below, the lighthouse with its hazy light, Like some huge rock swept by the rippling wav»s— Stands all alone—the watcher of the night, As if to guard surrounding unmarked graves, Its lurid light makes many a rock appear A ghastly object, startling to the night: The shadowed cliffs around look cold and drear, Beside the points bathed in its hazy light. And over all it solemn stillness reigns, A stillness born of night-time and of rest; The pensive speil, the murmur, that remains Seems but an echo of the day's unrest. And as I gaze around, I dream a life Of rest, of peace, of quiet joy—instead Of worldly care, of pain, of noisy strife— A life like night-time at the Mumbles Head. London. FRED. E. MANNIKG.

PRINCIPAL AND SUHETT. — A Constant Reader" (Bhondda) forgot to enclose a copy of the promissory note on which he wishes to have our advice. If it is in the proper form (joint and several) lie may bring an action against the principal debtor and the surety, or either of them. and if this is promptly dene he will, probably. get paid. But if the balance due is nob made immediately payable in default of payment of any of the instalments at the appointed time he can only sue now for the amounts in arrear. It is im- possible to advise definitely without knowing all the circumstances of the case. LANDLORD AJoóD TEVANT. — A Constant Reader" (Rhondda) is advised that as the property was agreed to be let by the year and there was no arrangement made as to notioe, the teaaney is a yearly one, and half a year'* notioe would have to be given before the tenant could be ejected, and such notiea must be so given as to expire at the end of a complete year's tenancy. If the event which is anticipated should occur and there should be any di&culty in the way of his regaining possession, he may write ns again with full particulars, and we will advise him.

SOMETHING FOR EVERYBODY. -o. The wealth of London grows by twenty millions every year. Oysters take 3-1 hours to digest, while sal- 2 mon only takes It hoars. In England there is an animal raiuful to t each acre of 2,500 tons of water. The valentine craze is fast dying out. Tn 1883, 2,700,000 valentines were sent through the post, whilst last year only 320,000 went. According to Professor Max Muller there are 100,000 words in the English language, whilst in the German there are 80,000, and in the French there are 30,000. Whereas the proportion of the brain of man to the rest of his body ia about 1 to 60, the proportion in fishes is about 1 to 3,000. Let one picture to himself the 3,000th part of a minnow, anr1 be may oonoeive how minute may be the br of a fish. it Very young children are not sensitive to pain to any great extent. Dr. George calcu- lates that sensibility is seldom clearly shown in less than four or five weeks after birth, and before that time infants do not shed tears. « <* w Nearly all the monosyllabic words in the English language, which en.d in sh, are ex- pressive of a violent action or motion—ex- amples :—Dash, gash, lash, clash, flash, plash, slash, mash, gnash, rash, crash, thrash, quash, squash, awash, pish, wish, gash, blush, push, rush, brush, crush, and tush. The colour used to denote mourning has often been changed. In Home males wore black for mourning, while the women indi- cated their grief by wearing white garments. In Turkey at the present day the mourning hue is violet, ia China white, in Egypt yellow, in Ethiopia brown, in London and America blaolr. The mourning colour in Spain was white until changed by the laws of 1408. HUMAN GROWTH. A child in the fourth year should be three feet high, and weigh more than 28 pounds, in the sixth year, three and a half feet high, and weig h 42 pounds; in the eighth year four feet high and 5C pounds in weight; at 12 years old, five feet in height and 70 pounds in weight is a fair average. At the term of adolescence 28 pounds should be added for three or four inches of height; 112 pounds for five feet six inches; 126 pounds for five feet eight; 140 pounds for five feet ten 154 pounds for five feet eleven, and 168 pounds for six feet of height is good weight. Growth is very irregular in children and young people generally perhaps two inches may be gained in two months, and for the next ten months not another inch, even up to the age of ten or twelve years. While growth is thus rapid Pt fatigue is readily reduced; during the pause weight is gained, and work or training can go on Again, "THEY WASH Tn GSLY IN THE Kurr. The Easterns, in washing, never, if they can help it, dip their hands in water, unless it 13 running water, as they abhor the idea of using in this form water which has been already soiled. To pour water upon the hands from a vessel requires the assistance of another, autl this is usually the office of a servant, and that most frequent one he has to render to his master—which makes the phrase who poured water upon the bands" appropriately descrip- tive of a personal attendant. Friends, neigh- bours, and fellow-trarellers often, however, pour water upon each other's hands in the absence of a servant, as it is exceedingly in- convenient to fill one hand repeatedly with water held in the other, and which is laid frequently down to be taken up again. No one washes thus who can find anyone willing to pour water on his hands. Indoors, a ewer and basin of tinned copper are commonly used. The water poured from the ewer upon the hauds falls into the basin held below, which generally has a perforated false bottom, through which the used water passes out of sight. The same kind of ewer and basin as are now in use we find represented in the most ancient monuments of Egypt.
