FAT STOCK SALES
FAT STOCK SALES MESSRS ROBERT AND ROGERS JONES AT TA"LYCAFN. It is thirteen years since, the Talycafn Mart Christmas Prize Show and Sale were inaugura- ted, and' the founders, 'the. well-known firm of Messrs Robert and Rogers Jones, auc- tioneers, are to be congratulated upon the con- spicuous success which h,s attended their enterprise. With, a view cf meeting the re- quirements of their 2rowing patrons, both in Carnarvonshire and Denbighshire, Messrs Ro- bert and Rogers Jones had a. mart erected, which is up-to-date in every respect, the ar- rangements for both sheep and cattle being all that one could desire. A feature in connection with the Talycafn sales is the great care be- stovve>d upon the comfort of the animals. An- other indisputable factor in the, phenomenal success and development of these saks. is the undeniablt oo.inaence which the farmers of the Va.Ie of Conway and fIle country ^enorally' have in the principals of the fiTm. On Monday, £ 35 in cash prizes and a silver cup were, offered for competition. Hundreds of purchasers, exhibitors, and vendors came together from all parts of the two counties. The entries comprised! 223 prime fat bullocks, heifers, cows, and bulls '1200 ripe Welsh wethers and ewes, and crossbred lambs; and 60 bacon and porket pigs and calves. Asked to give an opinion on the quality of the exhibits, an experienced meat purveyor, and a qualified agriculturalist, said, "It is one o fthe finest shows which I have ever seen in North Wales. Certainly, it is far superior to anything witnessed at the Talycafn Mart. On t!h& whole, the beef is of excellent quality. Of course, there is mtLC'h here that is inferior to the other, but, there is none which you can- not term good. The .r,dsh wethers, ewes, and lambs are capital." "I always believed," said a. canny Scotchman, who [hold's a pro- minent position at Llandudno, "that Wales was noted for its wethers and ewes, but the cattle show, to-day, proves to me, that Wales is making rapid progress in the breeding of cattle. It is distinctly the best show of" ths kinil which I have ever seen in the Princi- pality." Other opinions could be quoted, but suffice it to state that they were one and all to the same effect. The leading farmers of the Vale of Conway were represented in the sale. The judges were: Cattl,e, -Messrs J. Jones and Son, Dmarth Hall..Sheep, Mr D. Roberts and Mr W. Pierce, Penmachno.

'LLANRWST BOAHil OF IGUlHiDIANS
LLANRWST BOAHil OF I GUlHiDIANS THE ANNUAL IDINNER. TUESDAY.—Mr John Roberts, J.P., pre- siding. — A DOLWYDDELEN CASE.-The case of the Dolwyddelen pauper, who, it was stated two months ago, was paying 9s. per month rent for his house, came up again for con- sideration. The relieving officer had been re- quested to convey to the old man, who is 70 years of age, that the Guardians believed! that I he should either go and live to a cheaper house, or with some of his relatives. But the pauper stated that, he preferred to remain where he was. He also a.sked for an advance of Is in his out-relief per week.-The Rev H. Rawson Williams observed that in such cases the relieving officer should take an inventory of the pauper's goods, or else the owner of the house would come in and claim the same for rent in case of his death.—Mr John Morris I' (Penmachno) said that it was all nonsense, and that Mr Rawson Williams had ,been a nuosance at 'that (Board during the 6 years he had been I there.—The Rev Rawson Williams protested, and asked the chairman whether it was right for one member to address another like that.— Mr John Morris declarer that the whole affair arose because of the jealbusy or bad feeling, existing between certain members of the Board, and that Mr Rawson WlTliams was one of the spokesmen. It was an arranged thing before the Board meeting.—The Rev Rawson Williams I denied that he had been speaking to anyone about the case before coming to that meeting. He asked whether it was competent for Mr Morris to tell a lie in order to discredit him (the speaker).—Appealed to, Mr IMorris refused to withdraw.—The Rev John Gower (Trefriw) said that he knew of a pauper who was paying £ 14 a. year rent.—Mr O. E. Parry (Dolwydd- elen) said that he had been speaking to the pauper in question, and he had informed him that he was able to grow potatoes and other I vegetables in the large garden connected with the house, for his personal use. He might be able to get a Cheaper house in one way, bu/t he would be deprived of the garden. There- fore, he would be worse off than at present.- Ultimately it was decided to grant an advance of Is. in the out-relief. I OUTDOOR .PAUPERISM.Durmg the past month Mr O. Evans-Jones, relieving officer for the Llanrwst (District, reported having, paid £ 117 15s 10d to 172 pa;upers; and Mr T. C. Roberts, relieving officer for the Pentrevoelas district, JB86 Is 9d to 145 paupers. SYMPATHY.—A vote of sympathy with Mr Ellis Pierce '(Ellis o'r Nant), upon tEe death of his sister, was passed. NEW YEAR'S TREAT—A communication was received from Mrs Owen, 'Brynynyr, asked permission to give her annual New Year's I treat to the inmates, and expressing the hope that the master and matron would make the necessary arrangements.—The request was un- animously acceded to. I LADIES' VISITING COMMITTEE.—At a previous meeting of the (Board a letter was I read from the members of the {Ladies' Visit- ing Committee resigning their position, but a resolution was passed requesting the ladies to I re-consider their decision. Three of the mem- bers, namely, Mrs Owen (Bank), Mrs Williams (Preswylfa), and Mrs Thomas (Frondeg), had ) w ™ accedinS the Board's request, jBrynvnyr) could not do so. HE ANNLAL DINNER.—The members sat to their annual Christmas dinner, which ^was sumptuously catered by Mr and Mrs Ihomas, the master and matron.—The Chair- man, in proposing a vote of thanks to the master and matron, for the excellent manner they had catered for the members since their Lr appointment, observed that the Guardians were thoroughly satisfied with, their .services, and he hoped they would live many years toVrve that union. The Rev John Gower seconded, and said the highest interests of the inmates were minutely studied by the master and matron. The house was scrupulously clean and home comforts were extended to -1 within its four wa.IIs.-The motion was passed with ac- clamation. The Master thanked the Board for their kind wishes, and added that he and Mrs Thomas foutndl much satisfaction in endeavour- T1 U T0R^° tlieir DUTY towards others.—The Rev John Gower, in complimentary terms, proposed the health of The Chairman," who he de- signated a.s the best man for the position they could get. He was fair and impartial in his rulings.—The Rev Rawson Williams, in second- ing, said that the Itoai-d was sailing for the troubled waters of the "Bay of Biscay" to calmer waters. They had their disputes and differences, but soon they would be able to 1 do their work better.—The Chairman, in ac- knowledgmg, said that he was, with the ex- ception of Mr Gower, the oldest member of the Board. Their duties, as 'Guardians, were verv onerous and difficult, but he hoped that bv faithful attentlion to their work, they would he able to deal fairly and justly with both the ratepayers and paupers—Mr John Wil- hams (vice-chairman) then proposed the health of the clerk, relieving officers, rate-collectors, | and the press representatives, in very laudable AT S'BT^ seconded. 'r, ,,R: P.wen Wke clerk) returned thanks on behalf of himself and brother official. Th-y had all endeavoured to do our duty in the past said .Mr Owen, and they would continue to study the interests of the Board in the future—Mr O. Llwvfo Roberts ("Herald") replied on behalf of the Press representatives Mr Roberts touched upon. the wav the Board conducted and considered the Telief work, and -suggested that they should form relief com- mittees, which had' answered well in other y™ons;; The Rev John Gower said that Mr "Uew" Roberts had struck the nail urion its head; a.nd he agreed 'with every word which he had sÚd. It. was the only system by which out-relief could be (properly and efficientIv considered.-The Rev J. Titley Williams, in the course of a few observations, hoped that all the. members would obey the chair, and only speak once upon the same question.

f WISE AND OTHERWISE A friend in need is a friend to steer clear of. A shilling in hand is worth two lent to a friend. Some men who start out to rise in the world land in the attic. It's a wise son who knows when to ask his father for money. Nothing- will be done well that you do your- self if you don't know how. When a man does good by stealth It jtoesn't take a smart detective to discover the motive. Drunkards and vain women are in the same category. They make free use of the glass. Candidate: "I want to kiss the baby." Mips Antique: Er—I'm the youngest of the family." Baby (in omnibus): Dadda Fond Mother: "That ain't yer dadda, dear; that's a gentle- man It is dangerous to accuse a man of stealing your umbrella. He may have been the original owner. Snowy weather is the most easy to understand because it is the only kind of which you can see the drift. "I have shooting pains in my face, dear!" Indeed, darling. Perhaps you use too much powder." Elsie: Laura's health seems greatly im- proved." Ada: "Yes; she has heard that her doctor is engaged." "They call me the human songbird." "As a precaution, I suppose. There's a law against shooting songbirds." Though the photographer may make a speci- ality of negatives, he seldom says No when asked to take something. It is wrong to suppose that there is no dif- ference between genius and madness. Madness gets three square meals a day. Time may be money, but the average man would rather give you a lot of his time than lend you a little of his money. It must be very discouraging to fight a coloured pugilist, because when he is given a black eye his opponent doesn't know it. Miss de Muir: "Were you ever hypnotised, Mr. Hector?" Hector (sadly): That is my only excuse for being married." Ah, how do I find you this morning! My breath, doctor, is getting much shorter." Oh, don't worry I'll stop that! She (earnestly): It must be awfully danger- ous to be a soldier." Young Officer: "It is, indeed. The women are always after you." When you see a young man cleaning a girl's bicycle they may be engaged; but when you see the operation reversed they are married. A young lady who has been studying finance wanted to know the other day whether the day rate of gold affected the nitrate of silver. She: "There is a woman in Fulham who has not looked in a mirror for thirty years." He: "And how did you say she lost her eyesight? You see, my son, every time that you are naughty, papa gets a grey hair." "Oh! but you must have been naughty. Lood at grand- pa! He: The closer a man gets to Nature the happier he is." She: That's not what you said when you slipped on the orange-peel yesterday." Distressed mother (travelling with a crying baby): "Dear me I I don't know what to do with this child." Bachelor (in the next seat): "Shall I open the window for you, madam! Yeast: Do you believe a man can do two things at the same time?" Crimsonbeak: "Cer- tainly. He can stand on his dignity while sit- ting on a. jury." "I make it an invariable rule," said Mr. Stormington Barnes, not to talk about my- self," "Indeed?" "Yes. When I was asked recently who the greatest Hamlet is, I refused I to answer." When the late Professor Proctor was a school examiner, a little girl defined the difference between a man and a brute as follows: "A brute is an imperfect beast. Man is a perfect beast." Agent: "Here, madam, is a book that will tell you how to manage a husband." Woman: But, my dear lady, what I want is a book that will tell me how to get one, and I'll manage I him all right." I'd like to go away for the rest of the week, sir," said the tired book-keeper. There is no need for you to do that," replied the employer; stay here, and the rest of the week will come to you."

Mrs. Newcast: i am thinking of taking a I' holiday and visiting some of the scenes asso- riated with my ancestors." Mrs. De Bleu Blood-Cutting: "Oh, but slumming is so horribly out of date nowadays!"

He's a good friend of yours, isn't he? Oh, only medium." What do you mean bv medium." Oh, he listens while I tell him all my troubles, but he also wants me to listen whilst he tells me all of his."

Well, sir, I serve in that I capacity; but my official title, if you please, is dining-room superintendent." "Miss Williams," said the careful mother to I the governess, "don't let Ethel and Mabel sit on the damp grass." But if they t<et tired, I what am I to do?" "Oh, well, you can sit on the grass, and take them on your lap." Johnnie (who had been trving to ->pen the larder door): It's no good, Tom. Not one of the keys will fit." Tommy: Well, then, al. we can do now is to wait until mother comes home, and ask her for something for being good boys." Orator: On the surface things are often right, but it is when we explore the depths of things that we see the deceptions of our fellow-crea- tures." One of the Crowd: Guv'nor, you've just been buyin' a Barrel of apples, haven't you?" "What did your firm sack Knox for?" asked the first salesman. He gave away a trade secret," replied the other. "You don't say?" Yes: he told a customer that our governor is an old scoundrel, and the governor overheard him." William: I consulted a fortune-teller last night, and, after I had covered her palm with a sovereign, she predicted that I should marry you." Mary: "What a waste of money! I could have told you that for nothing three months ago." I .Judge.: "You said that words passed be- tween i he accused and his wife. Did you hear what Hey were?"

I had mado you a beautiful pie all myself, and Fido went and ate it! vVell, never mind, my dear," he said, cheerfully, "we can easily buy another dog." A Last.

What is the favour I can grant you?" "Only a little song at the piano, please. I am afraiu there ia a dog outside waiting fat ice, and I want you to eoare him awa.v."

j FACTS AND FANCIES | SPIDERS THAT CATCH BIRDS. [ Far up in the mountains of Ceylon, there is a spider that spins a web like bright yellowish silk, I the central not of which is 5ft. in diameter, while the supporting lines, or guys, as they #re I called, measure sometimes 10ft. or 12ft. The spider seldom bites or stings, but should anyone try to catch him, bite he will, and. though not venomous, his jaws are as powerful as a bird's beak. The bodies of these spiders are very hand- somely decorated, being bright gold or scarlet underneath, while the upper part is covered with the most delicate slate-coloured fur. So strong are the webs that birds the size of larks are frequently caught therein, and even the small but powerful scaly lizard falls a victim. A writer says that he bW often sat and watched the yellow monster—measuring, when waiting for his prey, with his logs stretched out, fully I six inches—striding across the middle of the net, and noted the rapid manner in which he winds his stout threads round the unfortunate captive. He usually throws the coils about the head until the wretched victim is first blinded and then choked. In many unfrequented dark nooks of the jungle you come across skeletons of small birds caught in these terrible snares. 4

FACTS ABOUT ARRESTS. In England no arrests may be made on a. Sun- day, exoept for treason, felony, or a breach of the peace; and freedom from arrest at any time on civil process is a privilege enjoyed by mem- bers of the Royal Family and their servants, Bishops, Peers and Peeresses, and Members of I Parliament during the sitting of Parliament a.nd forty days before and after each session.
» THE " SCHOOL AGE."
» THE SCHOOL AGE." It has been clearly ascertained that to teach very young children to read is to deprive them of nearly all chance of haying their powers of rightly using their eyes. their ears, their hands, and their brains fully developed; that to bring young children into crowded rooms where there is neither enough fresh air nor enough light for them, and to keep them sitting still for half-an. hour together when they ought to be moving about, and to keep them almost silent when they ought to be constantly shouting and singing, is I to deprive them of all chance of full physical de- velopment. It is said by many persons in defence of our habit of sending babies to school that the average school is more wholesome than the ave- rage town home with its slum or semi-slum sur- roundings, and that many children would have no one to look after them at home. It is an un- usually badly-ventilated home, and an impossibly badly-ventilated court, that during the daytime does not give a little child better air and more chances of movement than the ordinary school. ■ ■■ -■
.BAKERS IN FRANCE.
BAKERS IN FRANCE. Bakers in France are subjected to several un- usual rules and regulations. In large fortified towns, for instance, they must always have a cer- tain stock in hand in oase of war. Not only this, but everywhere they have to deposit a sum of money in the hands of the municipal authorities as a surety of good conduct; and the law, not content with merely looking after their weights and measures, actually decides the price at which bread is sold. »
AN ATROCIOUS BRIGAND.
AN ATROCIOUS BRIGAND. Angelo Maria, a terrible brigand in Italy, long had a price upon his head, but nobody claimed it. At last his conduct at home became so atrocious that his mother determined to give bin; up. He got to know of her resolve, killed her with one blow, tore out her heart, and—ate it. Unobserved by him, his sister had watched the fiendish act. She went to the troops which were seeking him and offered to lead them to his lair. But they suspected a trap. I might have laid a trap yesterday," she said, "for yesterday I had not seen that monster eat my mother's heart." They followed her and took him.
WORDS — WORDS — WORDS.
WORDS — WORDS — WORDS. Ordinary well-educated people use from 3,000 to 4,000 words in conversation. Accurate thinkers and reasoners, who avoid vague and general ex- pressions and wait till they find a word that ex- actly fits their meaning, employ, of course, a larger stock; eloquent speakers may even rise to a command of 10,000. Shakespeare, who had a greater wealth of expression than any other writer, produced all his plays with about 15,000 words.
, A DEBTOR'S SANCTUARY.
A DEBTOR'S SANCTUARY. Within the precincts of the Law Courts no man may be served with a writ. More men know this fact' than the process-servers desire should be the case. Not long ago an applica- tion was made to commit a. man who avoided service by spending his hours at the Law Courts. [t was not easy to locate him; there are a thousand rooms in the Law Courts and two and a-half miles of passages up and down which elusive debtors may—though they should not- glide. But one bright day the truant was run to f round. The bailiff found him and flourished is writ. No matter, the fugitive would not (leave the court, therefore he could not be served. Help was sought to make him leave, and he was eventually cajoled into the open to have the writ thrust into his unready hand. The last laugh was with the debtor. He had not cleared khe precincts of the court; the service was Illegal. ♦ •
GIRLHOOD IX TURKEY.
GIRLHOOD IX TURKEY. U«til a Turkish girl is eight years old she it free to lun about and play the same as her brother. After that she is regarded as grown up. She leaves school and puts on a veil. She is for- bidden to run about. No man except her father or husband is allowed to look upon her face, and she is not permitted to go into her father's part of the house. Her parents begin to arrange for her marriage—she has nothing to say in the matter. She must be married by the time she is eleven, and her husband will probably be about seventeen. In Turkey an unmarried man or vi oman is unknown. Such a state is looked upon as disgraceful. ♦
THE LARGEST BUILDING.
THE LARGEST BUILDING. St, Peter's is the biggest building in the world. St. Paul's could be placed inside the great cathe- dral of Rome without blocking the way through. St. Peter's stands on an area of 240,000 square feet, with a front 400ft. broad, and a length in- side of 600ft. The oost of building the cathedral was J65,500,000 storling-five times the cost of St. Paul's. The Vatican, which can hardly be called a single building, has 11,000 apartments, approached by 200 staircases; and there is a monastery in Madrid which has 12,000 windows and doors. But they can hardly be called single I buildings; and. bearing this distinction in mind. the biggest building in the world is the church of the Pope at Rome. »
POISON IN FAMILIAR PLANTS.I
POISON IN FAMILIAR PLANTS. I The berries of the yew have killed many per- sons, and it is pretty well known nowadays that I it is not safe to eat many peach or cherry ker- nels at once. Among the garden plants com- monly in vogue which possess a poisonous nature, botanists mention the jonquil, white hyacinth and snowdrop, the narcissus being also particu- larly deadly--so much so, indeed, that to chew a small piece of one of the bulbs may have fatal results, while the juice of the leaves is an emetic. There is enough opium in red poppies to do mis- chief, and the autumn crocus, if the blossoms are chewed, cause illness. The lobelias are all dangerous, their juice, if swallowed, producing giddiness with pains in the head. Lady's slipper poisons in the same way, as does poison ivy. The bulbs seem to be most harmful. Lilies-of-the-val- ley are also as poisonous. The leaves and flowers of the oleander are deadly, and the bark of the catalpa tree is very mischievous. The water, dropwort when not in flower resembles celery, and is virulent. »
THE MISCHIEF OF OVERTIRING…
THE MISCHIEF OF OVERTIRING BOYS. Mr. T. C. Horsfall says, in the Contemporary, that at preparatory schools and public schools boys are kept out of moral danger by being en- couraged to ovcrtire themselves. When they tit down to their books overtired they acquire a distaste and then a hatred for books. Boys ought to be kept out of mischief by living at home and feeling the combined influence of their parents and moderate wisely chosen exer- cises." Mr. Horsfall characteristically ends by saying that he is old-fashioned enough to be con- vinced that some clear religious knowledge is necessary even for the maintenance of physical health.

» THE Emperor of Japan draws a regular salary from the treasury of £ 600,000, and out of this he is expected to pay the expenses of his household. His private fortune is not supposed to be used for the purpose of keeping up his state, and since the Emperor is of a frugal mind the sum answers its purpose fully. THE British crown is made up of diamonds, rubies, sapphires, pearls, and emeralds, set in silver and gold bands. It weighs 39oz. and 5dwt. troy. In it there are 3,452 diamonds. 273 pearls, 9 rubies, 17 sapphires, and 11 emeralds. I CANADA has forests which, at the present-rate of consumption of timber for paper, will supply the world with paper palp for 840 yeaM.
