DOWLAIS IRON AND STEEL TRADE, A general meeting of the Sliding Scale mem- bers of iron and steel workmen of Dowlais was held in the Royal Exchange, Brecon-street, on Saturday night. Mr W. Hiscox, the president, occupied the chair. The chief business was to receive the report of Mr E. Lougher, the repre- sentative to the Wage Boa,rd, which was held last week at Abergavenny, and the result of which has already been published. In the face of the reductions sanctioned by the board, the prospects of the steel and iron trade in the South Wales district were not considered to be good, but .much is expectcd from the visit of some of the directors of Guest, Keen, and Co. to America. Other important matters were also discussed. ..d_-

The rumour that the Waterloo Chamber at Windsor Castle is again to be converted into a reception room is true, but this is only following the usual procedure. The apartment, even in the late Queen's reign, was only occasionally con- verted into a theatre for command performers. With regard to other alterations at the Cascle little has yet been done, except in the late Queen's private apartments, which have of neces- sity been altered, and in some cases refurnished. A burglar has had an unexpected reception at Glapthorne, near Peterborough. Ee effected an entrance into the residence of Mrs Groorue, but on going into a bedroom awakened a young lady help, wno pluckily tackled him. He cut her hand with a knife and escaped, but without his booty.

WALES IN LONDON.
WALES IN LONDON. London, Monday.—Mr W. Goscombe John, who may be reckoned as the only Welshman in the Academy inner circle, will bo repre- sented at the forthcoming exhibition by a number of works, of which the most important by far is the colossal bronzo statue of the late Duke of Devonshire, to be erected at Eastbourne immediately after the close of the exhibition. Of the other works, there are busts of the sculp- tor's personal friends. That of Dr. Isambard Owen-a marvellous likeness by the way—indi- cates the subject's position as Deputy Chancellor of the University College of Wales. The head of Mr W. Cadwaladr Davies, one of the standing counsel for the same University, stands boldly out from the great fur collar which he wears on State occasions. The third best is a portrait of the well-known traveller, Mr Herbert Ward, who had the charge of Stanley's rearguard on his journey througa Central Africa. Mr Goscombe John is now engaged on a design for the memorial tablet which is to cover Sir Arthur Sullivan's grave in St. Paul's Cathedral. The principal feature of the design is a broken lyre, crowned with bays and a border of singing birds and laurel leave' A rccent war dook, A Subaltern's Letters to His Wife," has an interesting Welsh note." The author was a pupil of Mr O. M. Edwards at Oxford, and knows Professor Rhys, the earned principal of Jesus College. His connec- tions are therefore probably Welsh, but the point of interest in his book is the description of one of the mors forming his troop— an olive- skinued, black-moustached dare-devil, with the ■ound head and piercing eye of the true Celt." This man spent his life hurrying from one fight to another "—" when there was no fighting £ foing on he was in the habit of tailing a little lionse in Wales, wherein the reading of Welsh history and the drinking of sparkling Burgundy constituted his favourite pastimes." Discussion with the olive-skinned Celt revealed an appalling profundity of erudition. One day the author remarked'that Wales had not yet found her his- torian; the "olive-skinned" one replied that "there are only three men alive capable of doing it." He admitted that two of these were the Oxford professors already mentioned—the third was him- self But at the time he was more engaged in making than in writing history. The author of the Letters states that this wonderful man was, after my dear friend Hubert Howard, the bravest man I ever came across. He volunteered on every occasion for the most risky work, and he took a real pleasure in courting danger." Welsh- men would live to know more of the potential historian and courageous sergeant. Who could he be ? Can it have been Owen Rhosconiyl," the author of Battlement and Tower ?" The Welsh Calvinistic Methodists in London held their amiual Gymanfa during Eastertide. A long array of Welsh ministers, including the Revs. Win. Jenkin3, M.A., St. David's; W. Jones, Morriaiiou J. M. Jones, B.A., Merthyr rrydfil D. M. Phillips, M.A., Tylorstown; Evan Evans, Gorwydd Rhys Morgan, Llanddewi- brefi and Peter H. Griffiths, Swansea, preached at the various chapels to large congregations. The forward progress of the denomination is attested by tho fact that it has now as many as 14 flourish- ing churches within the Metropolitan area. A very few years ago the number was only four. The Dcwlais Male Voice Choir, under the leadership of Mr Harry Evans, have met with ltn- qualified success at the Alhambra, the Palace Theatre, and other places of popular resort in London. It if! significant of much that the audiences, almost without exception, hailed with the greatest delight the national melodies which the choir rendered with such charm and delicacy. Of late years Comrades in Arms," The Long Day Closes," and the Soldiers' Chorus" have been considerably oversung in London as in Wales and Welsh choirs when they visit the Metropolis will do well to trust more to native productions.
REFORMATORY AND INDUSTRIAL…
REFORMATORY AND INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS. South Wafes and Mon. Institutions, A Blue Book has been issued containing the report for the year 1900 of the inspector appointed to visit the certified reformatory and industrial schools of Great Britain. There is a good deal I of local matter in the publication, the condition of the various institutions in South Wales being reviewed with discrimination after personal visits I and inspections. Special attention is paid to the nature of the premises, character of surroundings, industrial training, and the provision made for physical training and recreation. It is gratifying to learn from the report that the Glamorgan- shire Reformatory for Boys at Ty Segur, Neath, is in a thoroughly satisfactory condition, the inspector reporting that all parts of the building- were clean and in good order on th9 inspection day. In industrial training the farm and garden continue to he the chief departments. Though difficulties have arisen in connection with obtain- ing instruction on the lines of County Council lectures, which instruction has proved very valuable in other schools, they should not, the valuable in other schools, they should not, the inspector adds, prove insuperable. A great im- provement was noted in the provision for physical training and recreation. A sergeant-instructor of the Volunteer Battalion Welsh Regiment visits the Reformatory twice a week, and this training, the inspector declares, is already begin- ning to tell on the bearing of the boys, who are themselves entering keenly into the new drills. Of the Monmouthshire Reformatory School the inspector says it thoroughly maintains its I high standard of excellence. The value of the scheme of industrial training here is enhanced by the lect ures and demonstrations given by Mr Grant on behalf of the County Council, and his friendly interest in the boys and their work. Giving the result of his inspection of the Havannah Industrial School, the inspector reports with satisfaction the formation of the nucleus of a sea-cooking class, which should be developed to tho utmost, as good openings can always be obtained for good cooks. As to the proposed sea-going tender, the idea was good, but it was impracticable, as there were not enough boys. The one means to hand of improving the industrial training is, says the inspector, the formation of a manual instruction class. The report says Good work has been done here in the past year, and the career of the school in the past has been a useful one. N evertheleC.1, the institution can never inspire the confidence it ought so long as it remains housed in this old hulk. Clearly in this case an unnecessarily large contribution has been paid by Government towards the maintenance of the boys, seeing that it has been found possible to accumulate so large a snm out of savings, unless it is intended to de- vote the fund to its avowed purpose—building a school. Signa of the want of confidence iu the place are (1) the gradual shrinkage in the supply of boys, (2) tho difficulty in keeping masters." At the Swansea Girls' Industrial School the industrial training is reported to be weak. As to provision for physical training and recreation, work in this oepartment is hampered by the con- fined nature of the premises: The inspector, dealing with the Swansea Truant School, says the schoolroom was not succcssflÙ in its standard subjects which, more than others, it is necessary to improve in the truant. The inspector adds Neither can it bo pleaded that they have been taught a useful trade while in school, for the industrial training is meagre." The Cardiff and Barry Truant School has, the report states made agood start, the keen interest taken in the boys by the managers promising well for the future.

----ST. JOHN'S, CARDIFF.
ST. JOHN'S, CARDIFF. Vicar Thompson's Departure. The Rev. C. J. Thompson, D.D., who has re- signed the vicariate of St. John's, Cardiff, after an incumbency of 26 years, on Sunday evening preached a valedictory sermon before a crowded congregation at the parish church. Every seat was occupied and temporary chairs were placed In the &1818S, but many failcd to secure admission and turned away disappointed. The Vicar, who frequently spoke under deep emotion, said he keenly realised the fact that that was the last occasion on which as vicar he should speak to his people within the walls of that old parish church. He had often looked forward to that occasion, and the memories of the days when 26 years ago he first came there as vicar were very vivid on his mind. He did not mean to make any reflections or reproaches on anyone, but in those early days he had many hardnesses to bear and many rough- nesses to endure. There were many misapprehen- sions and misunderstandings, and he had to pass through what without exaggeration he might call a fight of affliction, but a "man who was not able to walk over rough paths and to endure patiently conld never be a worker either for God or man. What he desired to emphasise was his gratitude for the wonderful difference in the surroundings from those which he entered upon all those years ago, and for the fact that it had been given to him to see some results of his 26 years' work. He hoped that when the time came when he who should succeed him would retire he would be able to record his grateful reminiscences, and thus to register his thankfulness in the hearing and in the sight of God. Twenty-six years was a long period in a man's life and 26 years was a very long incumbency—some people thought it much too long. The late Dean Vaughan-whose loss they all deplored — who had left memories behind him full of inspiration and kindness, used to say that 10 or 12 years was quite sufficiently long for a parish priest to re- main in one place; but the dean admitted that there were exceptions, and he (the vicar) thanked God that though he had been their vicar for so long, perhaps too long for their best interests, they had never shown him that they had got tired of him. The change that was about to take place was not only a reasonable change, but also, he thought, a wholesome one. As time went on age made itself felt, and though at that moment he was conscious of no diminu- tion of mental strength and hardly any diminution of physical strength, yet as an honest man he could not shut his ey to the fact that in a very few years he might be quite unable to cope with all the urgencies and difficulties of that huge parish and that vast and ever-increasing town. It was for this reason that he decided that if a suitable opportunity presented itself it would be his duty to withdraw from that onerous post and make way for a younger man. That opportunity had now come, and he had seized it. A change was often a desirable thing, though it was not always good. It was quite easy to hold any position too long, and all he could say of his own tenure was that it had been long enough, and much longer than that of most men holding similar places. If he had sought to get away from Cardiff, no doubt suitable oppor- tunities would have lent themselves, but he had stayed on because there had been very difficult and very arduous work to do, and—they would pardon him if he seemed to be egotistical—it had seemed to him that he was the man to do that work, and to-day he thanked his parishioners and thanked the Giver of every good and perfect gift that he had lived to see that work to a large extent accomplished. Had circumstances been other than they were, he should not have thought of going even now, for there was still a great work to do in the way of church extension in the parish. He was very proud of the reputation of that the chief parish in tho chief town in the Principality, and no reward which God could give him would be so great as to have been permitted to carry out that work to its completion, and by filling with churches the sites that still remained vacant of the many sites he had secured in the parish, and by puttiDg their school system cn a base and foundation which might reasonably be regarded as safe for many years to_ come. That would have been as the height of his ambition. It seemed to him, however, having regard to his age, that he had not surficient time for active service left, and that it was much better he should give another man a chance, allowing him to bring credit to himself and to win the satisfaction which he (the speaker) had been able to enjoy. He regretted he had not done more, but he had desired to do all that be could. His successor, at any rate, would not e handicapped at the outset of his career with an accumulation of debts. Some of them would remember that when he (Vicar Thompson) came: there they had a large debt even on the railings of the churchyard, and there was a large debt on the schools, though they were then much smaller than they were now. The work of his successor would bo arduous enough without having to repair the omissions of those who had gone before him, and his (the speaker's) satisfaction that day was that he was going away without leaving a penny debt upon any of the institutions or build- ings in the parish. The post of vicar of St. John's was no sinecure. It was one of the hard posts of the Church; and the best proof of that was the fact that there had been great difficulty in filling up the vacancy. Six or seven men, if not more, some of them of proved experience and some distinction, had declined that onerous position. He asked them, when the new vicar cams, to cast aside all suspi- cions and give him ail their sympathy aud support. The parish was one of much more than local importance. Cardiff was the great rising city of the south-west, and by-and-byo would rival in importance, and grandeur and reputa- tion any of the cities of the Empire outside London and it was the duty of thfe parishioners to help bear the burdens of the new vicar, and share with him the responsibilities of his work. Particularly let them help in the main- tenance of the agencies in the parish — the clergy, for instance, and the educational agency. Very shortly after he (the preacher) came to the parish, being of a some- what different theological hue from bis prede- cessor, and being desirous, and indeed resolved, to be true to his convictions, he lost all the grants of the Church Pastoral Aid Society. He had hardly got into the office before that society, for reasons which that society deemed sQaicieMt, with one stroke of the pen deprived him of £,)8;; per annum. Bishop Ollivant, then the bishop of the diocese, felt so indignant that he withdrew his name as a patron of the society, and never replaced it. He (the vicar) determined that if possible he would be free and independent of all societies. He thought then, as he did now, that the people of the parish ought to support their own agencies and their own clergy, and from that day to the present they had supported their clergy, and the work had been carried on entirely on the voluntary system. Proceeding, the Vicar appealed for more generous support for the National Schools, and urged the parishioners of gt. John, whatever other parishes might do, never to haul down the flag of religious educa- tion. There was no incompatibility between the strictest loyalty to the Church and love for the brethren of other deno:ounations. He had that evening received from Mr Winks, the respected pastor of Bethany Baptist Chapel, a kind letter which he dared not publicly read, abetter from man to man, friend to friend, Christian to Christian. The same spirit he hoped wonld long pravail in Cardiff.

ST. JOHtfS. CARDIFF. CANON THOMPSON'S SUCCESSOR. The Rev. Alexander Henderson who has been presented to the living of St. John's, Cardiff, is a graduate of Queen's University, Ireland, of which he is B.A and he holds a similar degree of the Uni- versity of Durham. He is also a Licentiate in Theology. He was ordained deacon in .1877 by the lato Bishop Fraser, of Manchester, and priest in 1878. For five years ho was curate of St. Oswald's, at that time one of the slum districts of Manchester, and from 1882 to 1885 he was curate of Holy Trinity, Selhurst, Kent. In 1885 he came to Cardiff as curate of St. Andrew's, under the Rev. G. W. Hanford, and in 1892 he was pre- ferred to the rectory of Burton, Pem., which he held till 1894, when he was offered and accepted the rectory of Canton in succession to the Rev. W. E. Rosedalo. When Mr Henderson took up his duties at Canton there were only two curates since his incumbency the staff of parochial c-lergy has been increased to four. A district cruirch, at present only a temporary building, has also been erected, known as St Luke's, and for some tune- it has been in contemplation to enlarge the parish church, an improvement greatly needed. For this purpose money to the extent of from £1,500 to £2,000 has been raised or promised, and plans have been prepared showing the nature of the proposed extension. Particular attention has been paid to the work of the Sunday schooi, and last Whitsuntide the number of scholars was I stated to be about 1.500.. Mr Henderson holds High Church views, hut is not connected -w ith any party organisation within the Church. We understand that ha ^does not intend to introduce any innovations into the ser- vices at St. John's, Cardiff, which will be con- ducted practically on the ss..me lraea as they were by his predecessor. The new vicar -.vill not take up his duties for a few weeks, no arrange- ments naving yet been made for his institution by the Bishop. PRESENTATION TO MRS THOMPSON.

Just before arriving at the spot Jones, who had been in the rear, said he had better take the lead, as he had frequently been that way, It is a very dangeroua spot, and I several persons haye been dxowued in the pond.
tSCiENCEAND HEALTH .
tSCiENCEAND HEALTH By Dr. ANDREW WILSON, F.R.G.S. About Disinfection. Of late days there has been a renewal of a dis- cnssion that seems fated to crop up very often—I allude to the question of disinfection." Now by this term is meant and implied the destruction of the germs to which many diseases, and especially those of infectious character, are due. If I had my will I should apply the term ger- micide," which is a clearly defined name, and which means one thing only, namely, the destruc- tion and killing of microbes. Disinfection one finds may mean several things in so far as the public are concerned, and the great danger here is that people, relying on certain methods or certain substances to kill disease germs, and failing in their efforts to affect this end, are apt to incur serious danger. Therefore, to-day I propose to have a little talk with my readers by way of clearing up a few points that j bear very directly on questions of public health and of household health as well. It is obvious, for example, if a person uses a disinfectant which he supposes will effectually kill disease germs, and which fails to accomplish that object, he is incurring a serious danger of infecting himself, and of possibly infecting other people as well. He believed he has destroyed germs that, being still lively and powerful, may convey disease to him. He takes no precautions, thinking he is perfectly protected,such as he would undoubtedly observe if be thought he ran a risk of germ- attack. This is why I say that bad disinfection I is worse than no disinfection at all. If we use no germ-killers, we know the risks we run, and safeguard ourselves accordingly but if, using an imperfect or useless disinfectant we believe our- selves to be perfectly protected, it is clear we are really placing our heads within the lion's mouth. Some Cautions. One soon discovers after a little examination of popular opinion that many people regard dis- infection as tantamount to disguising or replac- ing a foul odour by a more pleasant one. If we suppose the bad odour is due to germ-growth, illustrated, say, by the smell arising from a foul sink or a defective or badly-flushed drain,we may see an example of this first fallacy, when, by the simple sprinkling of somer powder or other (powders are mostly useless) the nuisance is tem- porarily allayed. Here we are merely using what scientific persons call a deodorant." The odour is waaked or replaced by another, but there is no real attack made on the source of the unpleasantness or danger. If we spray the air of a room with scont we may cover the odour which is a result of foul air and over-crowding, but there is no disinfection involved in this process. Tobacco smoke is a deodorant thus regarded, but nobody can maintain that it can destroy any microbes present in the atmosphere. One sees people sniffing camphor or wearing it in lockets as a presumed protection against disease. This, of course, represents a fallacious idea. The vapour of camphor has no microbe-destroying powers, and if it had, it is very plain that the faint and feeble emanations which arise from this substance can exercise no effect on living germs which often show extraordinary powers of resisting red germ- killing substances. Let us, therefore, get rid of this first erroneous notion, that disinfection can ever be regarded as being carried out by merely substituting one odour for another- Antiseptics. There is yet another fallacy which deserves equal mention with that I have just indicated. There exists certain substances which are called antiseptics," a term that implies the preven- tion of decay. Now we may arrest decay or putre- faction without of necessity killing the microbes to the action of which tha,t process is due. A few drops of a solution of carbolic acid added to flour paste will keep it sweet for a certain time, not because the getras in the paste are destroyed, but because those germs a,re inhibited for the time being in their growth and multiplication, and because the paste is rendered temporarily an unsuitable soil for the growth of whatever microbes may fall into it from the air. When the effect of the acid lias worn off and disappeared we see the paste going to the bad as rapidly as if it had not been treated antiseptically at all. Moulds will grow in it, and it will decay in the fashion familiar to everybody. It is in this way cold may act as an antiseptic when it is used to preserve meat and fish. There is no destruction, but only arrest of germ life. Many substances believed by the public to be disinfectants (i.e., germ killers) are in reality only antiseptics. If we wish to kill microbes, therefore, we have to use not only a disinfectant, but we have to employ it in proper proportions, and to see that it thoroughly attacks the germs we wish to destroy. It is for this reason that all attempts to Mil germs which the air may contain are worse thaA useless. Wo cannot disinfect the air. If we could do so we should require to saturate the air with our germicide to such an extent that to breathe it would kill us: We get an excellent example of this fallacy about disinfecting air when we reflect that in using burning sulphur to purify a room after a. fever case, we have to use it in such a way and in such pro- portion that it is impossible for any person to remain in the room at all. The Real Germ Killer. The disinfectants which represent real germ killers are moist heat, such as is used in steam disinfsciors, and certain chemical substances found by experiments to be germicides. Steam at 212 deg. Fanr. will kill germs of high resist- ance in five minutes. Dry hot air at 284 deg. on the other hand took four hours to effect the same end. It may be said that if articles of infected clothing are exposed to steam at 270 deg. for 15 minutes, all germs are destroyed. These means, of course, apply to public disinfectora which, municipalities possess for the disinfection of clothing, bedding, and the like. The chemical disinfectants which are the most powerful are bi-chloride of mercury fa poison), which in the proportion of one part to 1,000 of water kills all germs. Half-an-otuice to three gallons of water with a little aniline blue added (to colour the solution and prevent mis- takes) and on3 ounce of hydrochloric acid to assist the action of the mercury, makes the bast disinfectant known. Only the public cannot be trusted to use a solution which is poisonous. Carbolic acid is not a powerful disinfectant. Used in the proportion of five to 100 of water it will not kill all germs, and water will not take up more of the acid. Izal is not poisonous, and is a good disinfectant. It is used in the propor- tion of one to 20Q of water. Jeyes' Fluid is also efficient. Condy's Fluid is not regarded by ¡ authorities as a reliable germ killer, though it is useful as an application to wounds and sores. Chloride of zinc (a corrosive poison) is a disin- fectant often used for disinfecting typhoid excre- tions. Such is an outline of what is meant by disinfection. The great lesson we should learn is the necessity for getting at disease germs directly, if we wish to destroy them, and the use of proper substances in proper proportions. Colour as a Cure. Among the various ideas which have animated people regarding the cure of disease, one of the most clITious is tnat which advocates colon1: as :1 means of relief. I suppose the notion has arisen from certain known effects on plant growth which contain colours— or rather certain kinds of light waves-scen to exist. Light is, of course, made up of a number of colour-ravs of various lengths", and the use of coloured glasses permits certain rays to pass through and prevents the passage of others. One of the attempts to use colour i n this way which I have heard of was that of using blue glass in certain rooms in a lunatic asylum. The effect reported was that of soothing the patients, I believe, but whether the experiments were carried out to any definite ex- tent I havo been unable to discover. The other day, this topic was revived by the publication of a little book entitled The Colour Cure," written by Mr A. Osborne Eaves and published by P. Well by, London. The cure is entitled Chromopathy," and I suppose it will be enthu- siastically believed in by certain devotees. Mr Eaves tells us that at the Royal Baths, a,t Harro- gate, the curo" is in operation, and he gives a list of authors, ranging from Dr. Babbitt on- wards, who have advocated this mode of disease treatment. How the Cure is Applied, It seems that the chromopathists rely chiefly on red and blue R'1 means of cure. The red is to be used when there is a lack of vitality, and when people want rousing up. The blue is re- garded as a soothing colour on the other hand, adapted for the cure of inflammation and the like. Yellow is a brain stimuhmt, but I find it is also set down as an emetic (a ruoa,ns of produc- ing vonitii g) and laxative, these div<lrsc effects, I confess, being rather hard to reconcile. Then the system advocates the use of water when it has been exposed in bottles to the influence of light piling through coloured glass. I find, however, that Mr Eaves does not rely on his colour cure alone when he is treating disease for in his directions be is specific in his indica- j tious of food the patient is x-o take. Iu kidn .y I troubles animal food is to be reduced to a minimum," and in jaundice the diet is to be of a non-fleshy kind. This looks as though our amiable enthusiast had a suspicion of practical things besides his aesthetic colour cure, and he is a great advoca.te of fresh eir, cleanliness, proper clothing, and other hygienic details, including will power." There is a flavouring also of the poetic about red being a stimulating colour (it is I so to a bull) and blue a soothing one. I suspect the peonle who are influenced by colour alone will have to'thank a considerable modicum of faith as an element in the cure. But the topic is an interesting one for all that.

CHILDREN'S HOUR, I AND ORDER…
CHILDREN'S HOUR, AND ORDER OF THE ROUND TABLE, I BY LADY GREENSLEEVES. What B.-P. Says. "One of the school magazines, the" Cottee- morian "-got up by the boys of the Cottesmore School, Brighton-publishes a letter from General Baden-Powell. No doubt they are very proud of having received it in reply to the mes- sage of congratulation they sent him on his gallant work m South Africa. It is a letter to be proud of, and to remember. B.P-" tells the boys how much such mes- sages are appreciated, and how the soldiers like especially to know that the boys of England are watching and learning from the example of pluck and enditrancc shown in the Transvaal, so that when their turn comes to do their duty for their country they may know how to do it. And then he goes on And while you are yet boys is the time to learn to do your duty—that is, to act as your conscience tells you is right, and not according to what seems the most comfortable and pleasant way for yourself." (In other words, to do the thing we ought before the thing we may.") At football you do your auty;not by playing to show yourself off to the onlookers, but to obey the orders of the captain of the team, and to buck up so that your side wins the game. And do your duty in carrying out the orders of your masters, though it would often be jollier to carry out your own ideas. But if yon get in the way of thinking only of doing your duty while you carry out your own ideas. But if you get in the way of thinking only of doing your duty while you are still boys at school, it will come naturally to you when you grow up to do it for your Sovereign and country, and you will never dream of trying and country, and you will never dream of trying to save your own life if your duty requires you to risk it. I And in thus doing your duty, whether it be to the captain of your team, to your masters, or to your King—remember at the same time that you are carrying on a higher work because yon are doing your duty also to.God. I hope I shall in the future see several of you gro w up into good soldiers but whatever line of life you take after leaving school the same idea should guide you—namely, to do your duty, that is, to do what your inner conscience same idea should guide you—namely, to do your duty, that is, to do what your inner conscience tells you is right and honourable." I Queer Street Names. I wonder whether there are any funnily-named I streets in the town you know best. Among all the Hight-streets and King-streets and George- streets and the like, it is refreshing to come across some quaint old name of which one has to ask the meaning. Piccadilly, in London itself, is queer enough it is said to be named from the fact that a great many makers of a fashionable I kind of collar called a piccadilly" used to live there; but it may be that the collars were 0 named af ter the street There is another Picca- 'I dilly in Manchester was it named after the London one ? In Hull there is a narrow street I' called Land of Green Ginger I think that is the oddest name I ever heard. Leicester has a street popularly known as "Gal try-gate," cf which the real spelling is the ghastly Gallows- tree-gate." Darlington has a Tubwell-row," wh'ch suggests the Saturday night clean up and Winchester has a crooked little thorough- fare called Five Corners while one of the narrow byeways of Yarmouth is Kitty Witches- row. But the place for odd and picturesque street names is Mexico. They are not always the I names that are posted up, but they are the older and quainter ones by which the people know and sperk of the streets. Among them are the Alley of the Little Candle Shop, the Alley of tho Egg, the Street of the Fish, and Potato-street. Then there comes the Street of the Little Bird, the Graves of Sunday-street, the Street of the Lost, Child, the Square of the Thief, the Street of a Thousand Wonders—which sounds delight- fully like the Arabian Nights-and the Street of Crazy People. Three Bad Lots." This is the bird-nesting season. How little do boys think (writes Dr. Gordon Stables in the BOV3, Own Paper ") of the amount of misery they cause to our innocent songsters by robbing their nests. Indeed, what with boys robbing r ts and women wearing birds in their hats, before long we shall hardly have a songster left. There are'three people in this world I thoroughly detest (1) The boy who wantonly destroys young birds and their nests. A boy of this sort would never aspire to anything higher than being a billiard marker or a poulterer's clerk. (2) The man who devours a lark on toast. I I don't care if he be an earl or a duke he is but a soulless coof." (3) The young lady who wears birds in her bonnet or hat. I do not wish her anv harm, but birds worn thus always bring bad luck. I How to Go Bird-nesting. Are none of our Knights and Esquires then to go a bird-nesting, and to find out how well they can climb a tree and how far they can see into a hedge, and who knows most about the different kinds of nests and the colourings and markings of wild birds' eggs ? Why, how are country boys to amuse themselves and how are they to get a knowledge of birds and their ways if they do not to amuse themselves and how are they to get a knowledge of birds and their ways if they do not go hunting for nests ? I do not for a moment mean you to stop seeking for birds' nests but I will tell you what I do mean in words much bet- ter than I could write, for they were written by a distinguished naturalist, Mr W. H. Hudson, ter than I could write, for they were written by I a distinguished naturalist, Mr W. H. Hudson, and no doubt he understands a boy's feelings on I the matter more completely than I can do. He is speaking of laws made and laws proposed for the protection of birds. I suppose you boys know that now it is against English law to kill or take birds during the close time," and that j there are also many eggs which, under the local laws of the various counties, must not be taken. I should be sorry," he says, at any legisla- tion that would have the effect of making English boys less hardy, adventurous, and lovers of the y open air than they usually are. But no one as yet has so much as dreamed of interfering with the boys' passion for limiting after birds' nests; they are left as free as they ever were to seek a-nd to find. They are only forbidden—that is, the I County Cocmcils ha«(» power to forbid—to take and to destroy. The experience of my own early life when, as n. i boy, I ran in a wild land where nothing was pro- tected by law, and when seeking for birds' nests Was a ruling passion, enables me to say that to spare the nests does not make the pursuit one I whit less fascinating or healthy ox instructive. "10 On the contrary, its charm and benefits are greatly increased. At that early period to find a nest was always a delight to me, and the feeling was to some extent renewed on each subsequent visit paid to it. Sometimes there would be as many as 30 or 40 nests to revisit in order to note progress and to remember and refind them all wae"in itself a training to the mind, and no bad substitute for the lessons from books which boys are usually made to learn. On going again to a v (r spot where I had discovered a nest I always approached it with a feeling of pleased expecta- tion mixed with anxiety- If the nest was found safe, and the parent bird perhaps seen on it re- garding my cautious approach with bright startled eyes, then the pleasure was almost as- great as when the deftly-wrought wind-rocked cradle was first discovered. During these nest-hunting days I climbed as high and plunged as deeply into rushy streams and miry marshes, and got as many falls and bruises as the most ambitious bird's-nester could wish for, and in that way all the advantages derivable from this natural pastime were enjoyed and the birds were none the worse." The New Centuries." (I am printing these Essays just as they are written, or with only a little cutting down; so 1 you bAd better look up yew history booklS and see whether you cannot find our prize winners i.. tripping). The essay this week is by May An- drews. "In the first year of the tenth century King Alfred died, and was sutceeded by Edward, sur- named the Elder. Alfred's son. He was the first to assume the title of king. His cousin Ethel- wald tried to seize the crown, but was defeated and slain by Edward. This king is said to have been the founder of Cambridge University. The Danes again became very troublesome at this period. The houses were made partly of stone and partly of wood. The people had little variety in food, and scarcely any furniture. At the commencement of the eleventh cen- tury Ethelred, surnamed the Unready, was reign- ing. He devised the foolish scheme of a general measure of Danes in Wessex, which only served to make them come over in greater numbers. The word Unready means' the rede-less or unwise. At this time learning was carried on chiefly at the universities. The principal articles of food were swine's flesh, fish, game, coarse cakes, and green i pulse; the favourite drink was mead—fermented noney and water. At the commencement of the twelfth century Henry the First occupied the throne. Flambard, the Minister of Ruius, in accordance with the people's request had been imprisoned in the Tower, but he escaped by the help of one of his friends and reached Normandy, where Robert, Henry's brother, and his wife had just arrived, j Robert was induced by Flambard to invade Eng- land, but it was decided that he should give np his claim on England for a pension of 3,000 marks per annum. He was, however, kept a close prisoner by Henry. The chief sports from now till the 14th cer- tury were tilting, archery, bull baiting, and quarterstaff. The Normans were more.refined than the English. Surnames were brought into use by them. The gentlemen wore long hair, a doublet half-way down the leg, a gold embroi- dered belt, a short, richly-trimmed cloak, and pointed shoes. The ladies wore a kirtle or under- gown of silk, and a wide-sleeved robe reaching to the ground. At the commencement of the thirteenth cen- tury John was proclaimed king, although he was not the legal heir, his elder brother Jeffrey having left a son, Arthur, Duke of Bretagne, now aged twelve. John cast him into the dungeons of Rouen, where all trace of him was lost." (To be continued.) A Recipe that Failed. « If you want to pickle gherkins," Said the Sea-gull to the Snipe, M You must pluck them in the gloaming When they're tolerably ripe. Then you add a little butter, And a pinch of Irish stew, And you set them on to simmer In the soil in whic„ they grew." For your recipe I'm grateful," To the Sea-gull said the Snipe, And my gloamings, I assure you, Shan't be gathered till they're ripe. I shall choose with all discretion Perfect samples of the tribe, And I'll gherkin pickled simmera In the manner you describe." Are yon mad or are you dreaming?" Said the Sea-gull to the Snipe; u It's the gherkin, not the gloaming, That you gather when it's ripe. Then you take the soil it grew in (Which, of course, is Irish stew), And you butter for a fortnight— Recollect, that's what you do." I'll endeavour to remember," To the Sea-gull said the Snipe, M That a fortnight's to be buttered When its native soil is right——" Here the Sea-gull interrupted. Shouting, Nothing of the kind!" Whereupon the couple parted In a hazy state of mind. —" Little Folks." The Order has now upwards of 28,000 members. Watchwords: Conscientiousness, Kindness, Cour- tesy.

AERONAUTS' PERILS.
AERONAUTS' PERILS. ACCIDENT AT PONTYPOOL. The well-known aeronauts, Spencer Brothers, made some perilous accents aud descents on Monday in various parts of the country. At Pontypool Recreation Grounds in the afternoon one of them made a parachute descent, which ended disastrously. He came down in Trevethin I Churchyard, and, striking a tombstone, sus- 3tained a severe fracture of the thigh. He was temporarily treated by Dr. Mason, and was then removed to the Newport Infirmary. At Cork on Monday evening Captain Spsncer made a very successful balloon ascent and I descent from a parachute. An immense crowd witnessed the operation. When the balloon reached an altitude of 7,000 feet Captahi Spencer released the parachute, and alighted in safety about half a mile from the point of ascent. Mr Percival Spencer, with a passenger, made a balloon ascent from the Crystal Palace, and added another to the aeronautic adventures associated with the notable place of public amusement. Considerable difficulty was experi- enced in ascending owing to the fierceness of the wind, and some 20 to 30 assistants were needed to control the balloon as it was buffeted about by the gale. Eventually the balloon was got away, and then shot up and settled into comparative calm. It was wafted along over Blackheath. Greenwich, and Woolwich at a height of 3,000ft. After passing Chelmsford Mr Spencer decided to descend. The valve was opened and the anchor cast. Then there commenced a most perilous journey. At one moment the balloon was 50ft. in the air and the next it was being dragged at great speed along the ground. Fre- quently it collided with trees and hedges. But the suspense did not last long. Another crash and the occupants of the car were in darkness. Mr Spencer thus continues the story The balloon had become a wreck in a tree and the car was upside down on the top of us. It was some moments before we could realise what had happened. When we felt sure there was no more power in the balloon we crept out and discovered that we were at Cogges- hall, in Essex, 50 miles from the Crystal Palace, slightly scratched and bruised, but otherwise none the worse for what I must describe as the wildest balloon descent in my experience." j
ST. MARY'S, FISHGUARD.
ST. MARY'S, FISHGUARD. Opening of the New Organ. Within the last few weeks a new organ has been erected in St. Mary's Church, Fishguard, and it was formally opened on Easter Sunday, in the presence of a large congregation. The organ was built by Messrs Peter Conacher and Co., Huddersfield, and the cost, ;9-320, will be defrayed by voluntary contributions. The instrument is the only one of its kind between St. David's aui the town of Cardigan. It contains two rows 01 keys, compass CC to A, 58 notes, and a pedal- organ, compass CCC to F, 30 notes. The stops are distributed as follows :—Great organ, 6 stops swell, 9 stops pedal. 1 stop and:) coup- lers. There are also two composition pedals to great organ, and three composition pedals to swell organ. The organ has two fronts of pitch- pine varnished, surmounted by decorated show pipes. The tone is rich and mellow, and the in- strument may be regarded as a valuable acquit tion not only to the church, but to the town. The opening services were specially arranged for the occasion by the Vicar, the Rev. W. Evans. M.A., under whose direction the musical portions were ably and suc- cessfully carricd ont. The organist for the day was Mr'Gilbert-son, solicitor, of Peru- broke Dock, who displayed bis usual ability and skill as an executant, and brought forth all the varied powers and effects of the n;v instruT^4
........ LLANSAMlET BURIAL…
LLANSAMlET BURIAL FEES, } A vestry meeting was held on Thursday even- I ing last at the Peniel Green Board Schools. The Rev. J. Williams, vica", took the chair. The meeting was convened to receive from the Bishop of St. David's tho table of fees recommended by the Commission which cat at Llan3amlet in February last to inquire into the fees then charged. The new table of fees was submitted to the meeting by Mr Francis, churchwarden, t ho said that the fees to be charged henceforth to the parishioners would be about half what they used to be. He proposed that the revised table be adopted. Mr John Jordan seconded. Messrs D. J. Owen and William c'nitb supported the reso- lution, which was carried unanimously. Votes of thanks were accorded the gentlemen who had given evidence before the Commission. I

They do some surprising things in France. Last week the rector of the Academy at Bordeaux (assisted by one or two of the best-known journa- lists of the Paris Press) officiated at the public ¡ baptism of a doll. This suggests insanity, but the explanation is quite simple. Th"se gentlemen take a keen interest in the work of a school of domestic economy which was founded at Bor- deanx four years ago. The christening of "Mdlle. Paulette France was a grand field day of this school, when a course of lessons upon the proper care of children was crowned by a full-dress de- monstration of the way in which the future mothers of Bordeaux must bshftYQ yrfaen their babes Me baptised. 1
