NEW LIGHT RAILWAY. CARDIGANSHIR E'S NEW ERA. A Great Scheme Begun. FIRST SOD CUTTING CEREMONY. Cardiganshire's long-cherished hope of a light railway reached the first stage of realisation on Tuesday, when Miss Mollie Harford, the eldest daughter-flf Mr J. C. Harford, of Falcondale, cut the fifflt sod of the Lampeter and Abcr- ayron section of the line, which will eventually be extended to New Quay. The linking to- gether of two such beautiful centres in the heart of the county, together with the g''e- development which it is confidently hoped will result, has aroused the greatest interest through- out the neighbourhood, and hundreds of the country folk gathered at Coedparc, which is two miles from Lampeter, on the Tregaron- road, to witness the interesting ceremony. Among those accommodated in the enclosure were General Sir James Hills Johnes, V.C., G.C.B., Dojaucothi Mr J. C. Harford, Miss Charlotte Harford, Miss Mollie Harford, and Miss Raikes, Falcondale Mrs Mthuen and Miss Methuen, Pumpsaint; Principal Bebb and Mrs Bebb, Lampeter Colonel H. Davies Evans, Highmead (the Lord Lieutenant. of Cardiganshire), and Mrs Evans Mr Bertie Davies-Evans, and Mrs Evans, Bwlchbychan Major and Mrs Price Lewes, Tyglyn Aeron Mr Inglis Jones, Derry Ormond; Mr J. P Baillie, A.M.I.C.E., and Miss Baillie, Cardigan Mrs Lewes and the Misses Lewes, Llanlear Mrs Hughes, M.F.H., Neuadd Canon Camber Williams, vicar of Lampeter, and Mrs Williams Dr. and Mrs Walter, Lam- peter Rev. W. L. Footman and Mrs Foot- man, Lampeter; Mrs Redmond, Tymawr Mr Loxdale, Llanilar Major Hughes, Allt- lwyd Mr Beynon Evans, chairman of the Cardiganshire C.C. Mr John Rees, divisional superintendent Mr Dansdon, Neath, divi- sional engineer and Mr Trie key, Swansea, district goods manager. The Scheme Outlined. Mr Harford said this was an historic occasion in the history of Cardiganshire. He had just seen an advertisement of a meeting that was held in 1860 to arrange for a railway through Cardiganshire. That was the year he was born in, and he appeared to have been working* ever since his birth for the railway upon which they were at last embarked. For the past five years they had been working continuously towards this great object. They had encountered some opposition from people who thought the project was impossible and that it would not pay. That opposition had now been beaten down, because the people had realised that the project was a coming one and that they were supported by men who meant to see it through. It was important to remember that everyone present would bear some share of the burden of making this railway, and he also hoped they would receive some profit from its working. Dealing with the outlay, Mr Harford said that one quarter of the capital had been pro- vided by the County Council and the local authorities, who were most loyal supporters of the railway, one quarter being found by the Treasury, and the remainder had to be found by the directors of the company, and had been got partly from landowners and others interested in the county, who believed that the railway would be a success. The total capital required amounted to about XW,000, and he was glad to say that all the money had been provided and that they were able to start with the railway and meant to go straight ahead with it irom that day. The amount of the contract was about X72,000 including extras, and £10,000 had to be spent in preliminary expenses. This cutting of the sod was going to be no empty ceremony. The fact that they had let the contract to Messrs Nuttall, of Manchester, made them confident that the contract would be carried out properly. Mr Harford referred to the support which the G.W.R. had given the project. On the two occasions he had been to Paddington both Mr Inglis and the late Mr Baldwin had'fe- ceived the project with the greatest interest. Only two days previously be received a letter from the general manager of the G.W. R.. ex. pressing his regret at inability to be present at the cutting of the sod, but expressing a hope that some of the principal officers of the company might be able to attend in order to show the great interest the G.W.R. took in the undertaking. (Applause.) He thoroughly believed that -the railway would do good to the county and that they would be recouped for their financial outlay. They had to make a start to open the county and bring wealth into it, and he believed that the railway would be the forerunner of others in the county. On behalf of the directors, of whom he was chairman, he thanked the County Council and lopal bodies for the generous way in which they had come forward to support the promoters. Mr Nuttall, the contractor, said his firm felt honoured in being entrusted with the carry- ing out of the contract, and said that they hoped to make a start with the construction of the railway in about a week's time as the plant was now on its way down. He hoped the railway would turn out to be the success expected of it. There was no doubt that the district required a railway, and it cught to prove a financial success and a boon to the district. The Line of Route. The portion of the construction embarked upon on Tuesday is between 12 and 13 miles long, and the line of route lies from a junction with theG.W.R. about three-quarters of a mile to the north of the railway station at Lampeter, then passes through Glandennis, near Temple Bar, Felinfach, and then down the valley to Aberayron, through a, beautiful country, well wooded on either side. The highest gradient will be one in 50. The heaviest position of the work is situate about four miles from Lampeter, where some deep gorges have to be filled in and banked. The railway gauge will be 4ft. giin. There will be a,bout five or six halting places on the route, where goods and passengers will be taken on nd discharged. It is expected that the work will have been so far advanced as to take over the summer traffic of 1910. The contractors entrusted with the work are Messrs Nuttall and Co., of Old Trafford Park, Manchester, whose engineer is Mr P. W. Bertlin. The engineer resp onsible for the scheme is Mr S. W. Yockley, Westminster, kondon. The first sod was cut near Glandennis and within view of the Derry Ormond Tower.

LIGHTiHG OF LLANFRECHFA UPPER. The ?if»htine of, Llanfrechfa Upper was raised at a meeting of the District Council at Pont- newydd on Tuesday evening, on the motion of Mr E. Laramy, who said that some nights the whole of the district was lighted up by lamps, although the moon was shining, while at other times, when there was no moon the place was in darkness. The chairman (Mr Waplington), said that some lamps had a clock arrangement which were quite as awkward as the. moon— (laught,r)-ior the lamps sometimes blazed away in the daytime when the sun was put. (Renewed laughter.) A committee was aopointed to go into the matter. The medical officer (Dr. W. E. C. Murphy), reported that the death-rate for the month was equivalent to 7'6 per thousand per annum. No cases of infectious diseases were reported.

CffiRMNIIGi -< £ • ••yj* GI — A Note on Clematises. As climbers these beautiful hardy plants are without equal. Walls, trellis-work, arches, poles, and even old trees will afford excellent support. Wire or metal arches, it should be noted, arc not desirable for more than one reason, and rarely are good results obtained when they are used. Another point of some importance is that a situation protected as much as possible from draughts and biting winds should be chosen. If as well it is shielded from the early morning sun the plants will stand a greater chance of success. Clematises require a good, rich Wil. Dig out holes 3ft. wide and 2ft. deep for each plant. Fill these holes with a compost of two parts loam and one part 01 equal proportions of rotten manure and leaf- mould, into which a little chalk or lime has been mixed. Set the plants firmly about six inches deep and water well, remembering that failures often occur from planting too shallow. The number of varieties obtainable is large, and between them, a very long flowering period can be arranged. In the largest or the smallest garden cultivation of this handsome species will amply repay any expense and trouble. If the catalogues of two or three of the better-known growers are consulted, it will not be a difficult matter to find out what is suited to particular needs. The Value of Salt It has long been known that carnations grow exceptionally weli in gardens near the sea, where no doubt the salt-impregnated air has an influence on the soil. The healthiest and strongest seedlings one could wish to see were planted in soil that was almost pure sand with which a little lime rubble had been mixed, and two feet or less from the surface brackish water" was ever present. The American growers of Carnations use salt in small quantities for pot- grown plants, and it is reported that soine of the growers in this country employ it with good results. The mineral is recognised to be an ex- cellent fertiliser for some plants, for example, Asparagus, Cabbage, and Seakale it has even been used for Orchids, [particularly Phalaenop- sis. The various fungoid diseases to which Carnations, particularly those grown in pots, arc subject, may be kept in check by the use of salt. A few experiments might easily be made by those who are interested in working out horticultural problems for themselves. Some observations would be of considerable value if they could demonstrate precise quantities that may be mixed with advantage to the soil used in the cultivation of these plants, and possibly of many others. For amateurs of scientific and inquiring disposition there is much that can be done in the way of experiment, and valuable contributions to horticultural science might result. On Planting Roses. The last week in October is generally con- sidered to be the best time in the year in which to plant Roses. The damp, cool air of Novem- ber will prevent them from drooping, and they will have time to settle in thoroughly before the weather becomes severe, so as to start well away in spring. New roots should be soaked for an hour in tepid water before putting them in, if they are to do their best. Turfy loam (i.e., the upper four inches from an old pas ture, stacked in a shed until the roots of the grasses are quite dead, and then chopped up with a spade, leaving all the fibrous part in it), is the best of all soils in which to plant Roses, but this cannot always be secured, as it has to he prepared about six months before it is fit for use. A good substitute for it is kitchen garden soil, which was well manured in the spring for what is wanted is rich soil without fresh manure, as the roots of all Roses are very impatient of impure material, and must never be placed in contact with it. Useful Hints. A hole should be made for each Rose at least eighteen inches deep and wide, or two feet for a climbing Rose. Lay in the bole fresh compost to within about four inches of the top, and on this spread out the roots of the Rose in their natural position (horizontally), then cover them with flne soil to the depth of three inches and tread them in carefully and firmly. Fill up the hole, burying the collar of the Rose to the depth of two inches. The fresh soil should be a couple of inches higher than the rest, be- cause it will certainly sink so far as that during the first heavy rains, and it is very injurious to a newly-planted Rose to have a pool of water over its roots. Do not top-dress Roses with manure after planting them they will have plenty of nourishment in the fresh com- post for the winter (when their roots are al- most dormant), and soaking them with impure stuff at that time only tends to rot them, as well as to lower the temperature of the soil and keep it wet, though it ought to be as dry and warm as possible in winter. A spring mulch laid down in April is as de. sirable for Roses as a winter layer of manure is bad, because then the roots become active and are in no danger of rotting, and the sun- shine penetrates the soil sufficiently to keep it dry and warm enough. To mulch Roses, or other shrubs, says a writer in Garden Life," first loosen the surrounding soil with a small fork to the breadth of a foot or more from the stem of the plant all round (the roots of old climbing Roses will extend to four feet), then rake off the top soil and remove it to the depth of three or four inches, without inter- fering with the roots, substituting for it a rich compost of manure, and sift over this layer a little fine soil mixed with soot. Work in the Garden. See that the heating apparatus of the green- house iq in good order. It will be wise to make a preliminary trial, so that in case of need repairs of any kind can be made at once. Anemone roots may now be planted mode- rately deep on a sunny aspect and in light, sandy soil. Successional displays of flowers are obtained by planting now and again in Febru- ary. When moving plants of any kind from small pots to larger ones, alw ays take care that the ball of soil is thoroughly moistened before doing so. Carnations and Picotees in cold frames must have plenty of air in fine weather. Only supply water to plants that. absolutely need it. Chrysanthemum plants must now receive careful attention. See that water is duly given as required, but in wet or dull weather maintain a fairly dry atmosphere. Chrysanthemums in the cool greenhouse ought to be fumigated. This should be done fortnightly, or more often if required. Berry-bearing plants, such as Pernettyas, may be planted in window-boxes, and if Daffo- dils and other bulbs are interpersed among themsfchere will be plenty of flowers in spring. Plants in rooms must not be watered so frequently. Rap the sides of the pots daily. If the rapping produces a clear, ringing sound give water, not otherwise. The Hyacinth will grow well out of doors in beds of any light soil. The end of October or November is a good time for planting 9in. apart and about 6in. deep. A little silver sand ought to be placed beneath each bulb. Plant Auriculas in pots where they will be protected from heavy rains, but otherwise ex- pose them to the outer air. They can he wintered in wooden frames without, glass, ele- vated upon legs, provided they have large shutters, to be closed only during adverse weather. Carrots should be lifted and stored, but Parsnips may be left, in the ground until they are wanted, as they are not injured by frost? Beet had better be taken up and stored now, in a clamp or cool cellar that is not too dry. Lift them very carefully.

RUNNING SORES- YIELD TO THE MARVELLOUS BLOOD-PURIFYING. PROPERTIES OF DR. MORSE'S INDIAN ROOT PILLS. No person can be afflicted with a greater misfortune than having a running sore that will not yield to the ordinary treatment. The sore may originally be caused by accident or otherwise, but if it does not heal it is because the blood is impure. The foul humours, instead of being carried away through the regular channels, burst through the skin, causing suffering and humiliation. Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills drive the poisonous humours from the system, purifying the blood, cleansing the stomach, and toning the organs of digestion and nutrition.

Fashion and Things Feminine. By MISS IDA MELLER. The Directoire Sash. Although fashion is inclined to run riot in regard to millinery, dress-fashions are dis- tinguished by a moderation-of style that coun- ter-balances the tendency towards absurd effects in head-wear. Prominent among vogues of the moment are modified editions of Empire and Directoire fashions, and the new sash that is brought to bear upon robes for interior wear is founded the well-known sash of the Directorate period. It is wound once round the waist, crossed at the back, and drawn low over the hips in front, conclu- ding in a loose knot and jagged ends. Such a sash as this, made in soft black satin, presents a distinguished appearance on a grown of light sulphur-coloured cloth, the touch of black finding repetition in a smart little neck- ribbon or bow-tie. The house-dress illustrated is arranged with a Directoire sash, the frock being of Havana brown cashmere, with long, rucked sleeve3, and a round yoke of deep ivory- coloured guipure, and the sash is of soft brown satin. A scheme in mignonette cream also works out well, and again, a frock of Wedg- wood-blue cloth or cashmere, with a soft black satin sash, and a piping of black outlining the yoke and high collar, is very attractive. Blues and greys, the latter in mole shades, are favourite colours of the season, but the greatest run is, possibly, on Havana brown, and this shows up well in velveteen. Hats of stretched satin, with round blocked crowns of velvet, both materials in Havana-brown-, are met with in all directions. Medes for Schoolgirls. The pretty modes prevalent for women are, naturally, reflected on girls' dress, which is as smart in its way as dress for grown-ups. The plain or pleated skirt and semi-fitting coat of dark blue serge or red frieze-cloth, form a ser- viceable costume for the schoolgirl of ten and upwards, the coat collar faced with velvet and the front of the coats double-breasted and finished with pearl or velvet buttons, while the long sleeves should have real or simulated cuffs, the effect of a cuff being easily suggested by stitching. A simple, fashionable coat for a schoolgirl is the subject of our illustration, and is suitable for serge or frieze-cloth, matching, of couree, the skirt worn with it. The fronts are provided with slit pockets, and the collar is faced with velvet. A nice, colour for a girl's winter costurce is mulberry-red, and of course the fashionable Havana-brown is introduced into girls' suits, some of which are made of herring-bone serge— a material that is particularly durable and has a very good appearance. The brighter shades of brown are far more becoming to girls than the deeper chocolate browns, and they are, moreover, in greater favour with fashion at present. A pretty little costume for a girl of about fourteen. is carried out in mole-coloured cloth, the skirt a plain gored one, and the short coat cut square at the neck and trimmed with mole-coloured eilk braid. With it is worn a Wedgwood-blue hat, trimmed with blue velvet-ribbons, and a long blue quill, the colour medley of frock and hat being very well chosen. The Care of Children. Those who have the charge of young children cannot be too careful in the system of up- bringing meted out to the little folks, since the lines on which character develops are governed by treatment in early childhood. Mothers often make the mistake of spoiling at one- moment and being unnecessarily harsh at, another, of glossing over a fault with a laugh, on one occasion, and on another of treating the same fault with the utmost seve- rity, so that the child never jenows when to expect rebuke or encouragement. Inconsistency is a characteristic that should never be applied to the bringing up of the young, who are, as a rule, very much inclined to impose on good nature and slack methods. It is a great mistake to suppose that a child is always the happier for being held by a weak hand. On the contrary, the child who knows that by arguing or being rude he can get his own way, simply because he will soon tire out his opponents from further opposition, or who scorns any but, surface knowledge, and has no interest in early study or occupation of any sort, save frivolous play, of which he soon grows weary, is apt to be a very discontented little person, to find the hours hang heavily, and be a burden to himsef. No should mean No when spoken to a child, who is sometimes better trained by strange hands thah by its mother-of whom advantage is too oftAi taken. I know I am the very last person who should now have the bringing up of Doris," said the mother of a ten-year-old daughter to me the other day, because I fell that she is 4 beyond' me, and I give wav when I ought to stand firm. This is not good for her, and I know it." Another mother, whose little son was growing obstreperous, and defied parental authority, remarked to me, I can do nothing with Harold. He is developing a most obstinate spirit," and she forthwith engaged a strong-minded governess who has brought harmony into the home by her admirable handling of the boy. It is very hard on a child when he is badly brought up, for the influences of childhood re- main throughout life, to hp a help and a blessing or the reverse. To ennoble and strengthen character without encouraging undue selfishness should be one of the chief aims of those to whom is entrusted the care of children—a most responsible task. To Chase Away Wrinkles. To remove wrinkles at the early stages, the following little hints should be acted on Massaging with a good skin food once a day and skin tonic applied three times during the day, will usually soon smooth out young wrinkles and help to keep the flesh firm. The face should be bathed at night with warm, soft water until the pores are well opened, then dried quickly, and massaged for ten mnutes with a good eomplexon nourisher. If any of the latter remains unabsorbed, thiq should be wiped off and a skin tonic applied with a fine sponge, patting the flesh until dry. The next morning a cold spray should he used for a few minutes, and then if the skin tonics used are good ones, very heneficial effects to the skin should result. Two Useful flints. An easy way to remove a label from a bottle is to fill the latter with hot water The heat softens the glue and the label may be pulled off quickly. When washing a kitchen table, many cooks take a knife and scrape off little particles re- maining on the wood. This damages the table. The best method is to put seme coarse salt or sand on the washing flannel, and with it rub the table this method will leave the wood as white as possible.
