And so he struggles on as best he can, -of casting off the yoke-of insidious -diseame-bodpelem of ever getting strong and well again. But his complaint is NOT incurable after all-thow dragging backaches and mysterious pains, as well as lumbago, urinary disorders, gravel, inflammation of the bladder, dropsy, and rhevmatism-arise from kidney poisons left in the blood by weak lcidøeva-and kidney disease CAN be cured by proper treatment, but only by a medicine that strengthens weak kidneys,helping them to discharge the urinous poisons which are saturating the body and spreading disease all over the system. Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are suc- cessful (as in this Cardiff case) because they are solely for the kidneys and bladder-all their healing properties are devoted to building up the strength of weak kidneys, • and assisting them to eliminate the uric acid poison and fluid waste from which so many fatal diseases arise. 1 Mr. John Clark,of 196, Broadway, Cardiff, says When at my work some time ago I was taken ill all of a sudden with an awful pain in my back. I had to give up work for a while, and ever since that day I have suffered at different times from pains in the small of my back. Some days I have hardly known how to keep at work. At one time the water was very bad and difficult to pass. "I was told to try PARMER Doan's backache kidney wlUlUlrr pills, and the very first box I had from the QASEa chemist gave me a little relief. I kept on with the pills after that, and found I could pass the water better, and I did not have such bad pains in my back. After the seventh box my back was quite strong, and 1 could keep at my work with- out any fear of my back giving way. Now if bad weather affects my kidneys I am never ill for long, for we always keep Doan's pills in the house. I would recom- mend them to anybody with backache. (Signed) J.

Fashions and Things Feminine. By MISS IDA MELLER. Early Winter Fashions. In spite of the many changes of fashion that come with every year, the coat and skirt cos- tume is always with us, saved, of course, from monotony by the innumerable changes that are rung on the length of the coat., the shape of the skirt, the style of the collar, etc. It is many years since the coat and skirt costume drove out of fashion the half-length coat of black or fawn-coloured cloth worn over a coioured cos- tume, and certainly the newer vogue merits the triumph accorded it all along the line. The tailor-made suit, moreover, has developed mar- vellously in its own particular way, and since fashion has ordained that silks, velvets and satins shall be used for its creation, the coat and skirt costume, formerly regarded as suitable only for simple occasions, is now permitted to grace weddings, fetes and other social functions where the most elaborate modes are correct, and holds its own even in company with chif- fons, laces, and similar dainty fabrics. Some of the new costumes for the early winter are made not only with skirts but with complete princess dresses of the coat material; or the dress may possibly be sleeveless and show a chemisette above the neck (which is cut either to a small square or nicely rounded) made of the same material of which the sleeves are com- posed. Always pretty and striking looking is the mixture of cream, banana, or natural tus- sore with black, and some of the latest coat and skirt costumes on which a special word of approval may be bestowed are of cream- coloured blanket cloth and herring-bone frieze in a deep shade of banana, trimmed with facings of black satin or corded silk. In one instance the skirt is cut with a corselet piped with black, and the long, semi-fitting coat has a roll-collar and smart little cuffs taced with black. The costume sketched is carried out in tussore-coloured cloth, with revers and cuffs faced with black satin and a trimming, on the upper part of the bodice, composed of small buttons covered with black satin and laced with black silk cord, tasselled at the ends. The dress is a princess one, while the coat can, of course, be closed. The quantity of double- width cloth required for the dress and coat are 8 yards. The charming little toque worn with the suit is one of the latest models, and shows a velvet crown and satin brim. A Coat for all Occasions. A charming feature of some of the long, loose-fitting coats, suitable for day or evening wear, are immense revers-not cut after the usual, well-known tailor method, stiff and plain and narrow, but wide enough to coverthe entire bodice of the coat to the waist, and falling in slight folds that grace the figure becomingly. These revers are facedwith a material differing from that of which the coat is composed, and the colour also differs from the coat material They proceed from' a sailor collar that tJrims the coat at the back-the sailor collar, by the way, being rather a pet among fashionable tailors just now and finding a place on some of the smartest theatre wraps for the season. The new, wide revers are sometimes trimmed with a few little buttons And cord loops on the lower comers, which are on a level almost with the waist. A good idea is to line the brim of the hat worn with the coat with the same material as that used for the revers. This idea was car- ried out in relation to a long, loose-fitting coat of soft black cloth, with huge. draped revers, facedwith pale Eau de Nil satin, and a wide- brimmed hat of black felt lined with satin to match. The long coat illustrated might be copied in similar materials and colours, though the origi- nal is in pink cloth with handsome revers and cuffs of black panne. The simplicity of the design is a striking and charming feature of the coat—which latter, it will be observed, fastens with a single button, the long line of opening, from the button to the hem of the coat, being slightly on the diagonal. Here, verily, is a de- lightful coat for day or evening wear. The hat should be in similar colours to those of the coat. About 4l yards of 48 inch cloth and Ii yards of panne are required for the coat. The Woman Who Worries. The woman who frets and worries over trifles is not only an enemy to herself, she is an enemy to the peace of those about her. She is apt to think other people of a calmer temperament very callous and indifferent, harder-hearted than herself and lacking in sympathy, never realising that it is effort on her part that is required to lift her from the daily jars and frets with which she seems to be surrounded. We can make little or much of troubles, according to our temperament. It remains with ourselves to throw off or nurse the smaller grievances of everyday life, to magnify or mini- mise the power of evil. We all know the woman whose home is spot- less, seemingly without effort on her part; yet her own hands do the dusting and the scrub- bing, the cooking, and the mending and we know the woman whose home is always in a state of chaos and she herself flurried and worried, behind-hand, and untidy in appear- ance. Whose is the fault 1 Worry never did any good in the world, and never can do good. The woman who worries over trifles takes too microscopic a view of life; let her outlook be broader and she will, to a great extent, cease to worry.

VESETABLES:ANB FRUIT. A thick mulch of half-rotted manure ought now to be placed between, the rows of Khnbarb growing in heavy soil to be dug in. The crowns of early sorts should be covered with a thick layer of dry litter and leaves. These, of course, should be renewed as often as they are seen to become sodden and decayed by the weather. Uooseberry bushes should be allowed a space at least 5ft square for their proper develop- ment, another foot each way being none too much on really good ground. They will giv. good results if planted between Apple or other taller fruit trees. always provided they have, adequate space in which to grow. Small frui bushes of any kind planted 5ft. or 6ft. apart eac'i way seem but meagre occupants of a bed. but thereis no reason why Lettuces, Spinach, Straw- berries, or any other low-growing, shallow- rooting crop should not be grown between the bushes until they require the whole space. Walnuts are falling from the trees, and this is a sure sign that the whole crop ought to be gathered. There are various ways of doing this some people beat the trees with long poles, but, though this is said to be good for them, it probably does a great deal of harm. The best method is to use a ladder, though, if left alone, the nuts will all fall of their own accord. When obtained shell them at once, if possible, for, if put in a heap, they will heat and become discoloured. When shelled, dry them a little, and then store them in deep, earthenware jars, with plenty of salt or sand. or they will keep capitally if placed in rough boxes or baskets and buried in the ground. When canker once gets hold of a fruit-tree it is very difficult to cure. The disease appears first in the form of dry scorched cracks in the bark, chiefly about the joints or union of a branch with the stem. Watch should be kept for the first indications of these symptoms and prompt measures be taken to remove or cor- rect the conditions that have set them up. If it is the ill condition of the drainage, drain well; if the sub-soil is bad drianing will im- prove it, if the drains are laid deep enough, but it the roots have made way into it they must be removed therefrom, and means be taken to prevent their re -entering it. If the symptoms appear to be caused by careless or defective pruning, improve the practice. If over-luxuriance, grossness of growth which fails to mature properly, root-prune. Lichens and Mosses, if not a cause of canker, aggravate the disease and also impair the hfeaJth of the tree. Where such growth ex- ists as early an opportunity as possible should be taken to kill it, which can readily be done by washing every part of the tree with a white- wash of lime. Another mode of preceding is thoroughly to soak the growth with water, spraying it over all infected parts of the tree, and immediately scattering over the wetted parts sifted fresh-slaked lime. In the Flowtr Gardens. Most of the plants iin herbaceous bordei s have finished flowering, and this admits of their stalks being cut down. Then neatly fork between permanent subjects, and divide others before frosts occur. Attention to this, and forking up bare grounds in the flower gardens, will admit of bulbs and biennials being planted. Before the lawn mower is put away in the shed it should be thoroughly cleaned and oiled. This does not mean that it must not be brought out until spring. In mild weather the grass often continues growing until very late, and if nothing is done it not only looks untidy but also gets so long that it is difficult to cut in spring. Unless the ground is very soft the lawn mower may be used on a fine, dry day at any time, even in mid-winter, and should be used if the grass is getting too long. Chrysanthemums do not recruire much arti- ficial heat, and are injured by being kept too .warm and close in a heated greenhouse. A night temperature of 45deg. is sufficient, and this may fall to 40deg. without any harm being done, provided the atmosphere is dry, confined damp being most injurious. Judicious venti- lation is of the utmost importance, hut it must be borne in mind that sharp currents are in- jurious, and generally followed by mildew on the plants. Watering is best done in the morn- ing, but all the plants may not need water at the same time. When too much water is used or given at the wrong time the atmosphere is made too moist, and damping of the blooms is the result, the moisture causing their delicate petals to decay. It is equally essential that those plants which require water should have it at once, or their leaves Will turn flaeid and droop therefore each plant needs individual attention. Weak liquid manure is good for Chrysanthemums when the buds are swelling, but when the flowers open pure water will suffice, and keep them fresh longer than if sup- plied with richer fodd. Frost cannot exert an injurious effect on dry vegetable tissue, it must have moisture to act upon. It is impossible to deprive any plants of the whole of their moisture without killing them, but the smaller the amounton which they can exist the less likely they are to be damaged by frost. In the case of Geraniums which are so are natives of very arid regions, the amount is so small that if they are tied in bundles and hung up in a frost-proof shed or cellar, some of them will often remain alive during winter, and can be planted again in spring. It is far safer, however, to let them remain in their pots. The leaves will wither, and any that begin to decay should be removed. Bus so long as the temp- ature is, or is likely to be, near the freezing- point, no water should be given to the plants unless the stems get flabby and shrivelled, and then only a mere sprinkling. Different plants require different soils, hence the importance of making composts suitable to the various reauirements. Loam is of two kinds, light and heavy. The former is generally yellow in colour, but sometimes blackish the latter is deep yellow, and feels somewhat sticky for some time before use when taken in hand. These should be stacked separately, with the turf and living grass downwards. placing a layer of manure over every layer of loam of the heavy quality. In thid way the manure will become thoroughly incorporated, and when hacked down fpr use the whole will be found in a nice friable state. The light loam is best stacked by itself in a pure state. In selecting loam from a field it must be remembered that the top spit is to be preferred. The quality of loam varies considerably in different parts of the country. The peat which is most serviceable for potting purposes is composed of decayed vegetable matter, and contains a considerable amount of sand, it should also be stacked with the top side downwards. Leaf-mould is formed of thoroughly decomposed leaves which have been collected in autumn; these should be kept moist, and are best when frequently turned over to hasten decay. This kind of soil ought not to be used before it is about two years old. A good heap of manure should al- ways be available, so that none may ever bo used which is not thoroughly decomposed. Sand is another useful ingredient, and may be either white or brown.

FEEDING SCHOOL CHILDREN. Neath Guardians' Attitude. The Neath Board of Guardians met en Wed- nesday under the presidency of Mr William Howell, J.P. The Finance Committee recom- mended that the salary of Dr. Davies be varied as follows :£35 to be taken from his salary in respect of the workhouse and £35 to be added to his salary as medical officer of the Cottage Homes. The committee also recommended that the salary of Mr Cribb. collector of poor rates for the parish of Duffryn Clydach, be. increased from JE40 to £50, but with regard to the application for an increase by Mr and Mrs Sair, of the Cottage Homes, it was suggested that the matter be postponed pending the results of the working of the additional homes and the new system of farming. In reply to Mr A. Jestyn Jeffreys, the Clerk Said that there would be no increase in Dr. Davies's salary. It was only a re-arrangement made with the doctor's consent. The latter would be relieved of a portion of his district. Mr E. J. Hopkins What is his salary now ? The Clerk: He receives £450 per annum in salary and fees. Ms Hopkins Then I move that there be no advance. The Clerk again explained that there was none, and the recommendations were adopted. The Chairman ruled a notice of motion calling upon the Glamorgan County Council to put into operation the Feeding of Children Act at Abergwynfi out of order. In doing so he said that the conditions at Abergwynfi were quite normal, and if the Act were put into force there a similar course would have to be adopted in every mining centre in South Wales.

A GOOD HAIR TONIC. An excellent hair tonic that is unequalled for keeping the scalp in a healthy condition, de- stroying dandruff and making the hair grow, is made by dissolving 1 dram Menthol Crystals in 3 ounces of Bay Rum and then adding 1 ounce Lavona de Composee (Smith's). Let it stand for half an hour and it is then ready for use. Rubbed well into the scalp with the fin- ger-tips once or twice a day this tonic will be found to give surprising benefit, scalp itching and irritation disappearing almost immediately on applying. A very pleasant scent is im- parted by adding t teaspoonful of French Fon Fleur Perfume. This prescription contains no dye, and can be prepared by any i hemist, or you may procure the ingredients and mix them yourself at home. 19908

SHIP WITH A HISTORY.

SHIP WITH A HISTORY. Fate of Old Pembroke Gunboat. "A Que ship for buccaneering or for mis- sionary work:" With this comment Mr T. W. Tamplin introduced the Pandora to the notice of a select company at the Baltic Exchange sale-room on Monday. The Pandora was built in the Royal dock- yard at Pembroke as far back as 1867. By the calendar she should have been scrapped long since. But being built of oak and teak, fastened with copper fit for coining, and sheathed with yellow metal, she has resisted the forces of decay, the. fierce buffetings of the sea, and the persistent sawing and squeezing of Arctic ice. The Pandora was lanched as a gunboat, and was known for a while as the Newport. She is just under 150ft. in length, and her gross measurement is 339 tons. She was present at the opening of the Suez Canal, being then a brand-new, swagger little ship. It was as the Pandora that she was destined to be subse- quently known almost all the world over in the capacity of an exploration ship, or as a vessel engaged in long and sometimes unusual yacht- ing cruises. Once more this fickle craft changed her name. Captain Wiggins, of Sunderland, called her the Blcncarthra when he employed her in the famous vlbyages to the Kara Sea and the rivers of Northern Siberia. But it was as the Panora that she at an early period explored the Arctic, and shed fame on Sir Allen Young and his gallant comrades. Three or four voyages, it is said, she made to the Polar seas. On one occa- sion she was lifted 9ft. above the ice, but she got down again unharmed. It was tJhe Pandora which surveyed the Straits of Magellan, and thus made available for a huge fleet of modern steamers this short cut from Atlantic to Pacific. When in later years she was used as a yacht she numbered among her owners Mr Andrew Coats, of Pais- ley. Still later she was acquired by Mr T. Caradoc Kerry, and made an expedition to the lonely isle of Tristan d'Aunha. With it all she was recently declared to be as good as ever she was by ,a Scottish shipbuilder who surveyed her. Somebody with an eye on her copper fasten- ings is said to have offered E3,000 for her for breaking-up purposes, but this proved to be the starting-price at the auction, and she was ultimately knocked down for 11,000to Mr Buckley.
