NATURE
NATURE is a powerful mistress, but she is a merci- ful one. If you violate her laws, she will punish you; but have recourse to her again, and she will reinstate you. Some- times Nature is violated involuntarily. We cannot always lead the life which would please us; our occupations will not always allow it. Some men have to work in places where the life-giving air which Nature has given us is robbed of a large proportion of its most vital component— Oxygen. When this is so, the blood becomes impoverished, and disease germs, which are ever present in the air, step in and cause innumerable ills. Languor and Lassitude take the place of Health and Vitality, and life is robbed of its sweetest blessing—good vital health. Nature has been violated in the struggle for existence. How is it possible to regain that lost Vitality? You must retuirn to Nature for the remedy. Herbs are man's Natural Remedy, and to them you must have recourse. They are inexpensive and reliable, and quite harmless, which is more than can be said of most of the advertised patent medicines of to-day. I will send a packet of herbs composed of Sarsaparilla. Tarabaci, Sasafras, Burdock and Liquorise, proportionately mixed and enough to make three pints of excellent blood medicine, post free with instructions for 1/6.

- "Porth Police Court.
Porth Police Court. Thursday.—Before Messrs. T. P. Jen- kins (in the chair), Enoch Davies, Wm. Evans, Wm. Thomas, Dr. Ivor Davies and Dr. E. N. Davies. POLICE BEST JUDGES. Griffith Samuel, cab driver in the em- ploy of Messrs. Masters and Co., Porth, was charged with being drunk in charge of a horse. Mr. Jenkins (Messrs. Morgan, Bruce, and Nicholas) defended. P.O. Jones said that about twenty to two on the 2nd of April he went to Ynys- cynon Road, Trealaw, and saw defendant very drunk. Defendant was taken to a stable and afterwards, to a house. The cab which he was driving was greatly damaged. P.O. Harrold corroborated. Defendant said he had been working for Mr. Masters for twelve months. On the day in question lie drove a. fare from Porth to Pontypridd, and back to Ynys- cynon..He only had one small stout all day. On the way back, one of Hancock's Brewery engines collided with his cab and smashed it. Samuel Davies, coachman to Mr. W. P. Nicholas, said he was driving behind defendant on the day in question, and as the latter was passing the engine, it swerved out and crashed into the cab. Mr. Nicholas called defendant, and there was nothing in his speech or walk that showed signs of drunkenness. Mrs. Allen, Ynyscynon Road, said that after the accident occurred, she took defendant into her house, and he was looking very bad, as if he was going to faint, and she gave him some brandy. I- Supt. Cole The measurement you indi- cate would be about three inches. Witness: All right then. Supt. Cole: Was he quite sober? Witness: He was quite sober when he came in, but I don't think he was sober after I gave him the brandy (laughter). Supt. Cole So he was not quite sober ? Mr. Jenkins: This was in the house. He is summoned for being drunk on the highway. Mrs. Caroline Jones said the defendant was quite sober when he was taken into the house, but very faint, so her mother (last witness) gave him some brandy to bring him round. The Chairman said he considered the police best judges of whether a man was sober or not. Perhaps defendant was worse after having the brandy, but he was drunk before that. A fine of 10s. was imposed. STREET BETTING AT TONYPANDY. MAGISTRATE ON BETTING. Arthur Parsons, Tonypandy, was charged with loitering on the public highway for the purpose of receiving bets. P.O. Fuller, Tonypandy, said that on Wednesday, 21st of April, in company I with P.C. Moore, he kept watch on pri- soner from 9.30 a.m. until 1.30 p.m. in Dunraven Street and Gelli Road, Tony- pandy. At five past ten he saw a man go to defendant and hand him a slip of paper and something which appeared to be money. Defendant then went towards Primrose Street, and returned at 10.45. He spoke to two men who were standing by the Cross Keys Hotel, referring to a newspaper. One handed defendant a slip of paper and something else. Defendant then walked up Dunraven Street, and did not return until 11.30. There were then four men standing on the road consulting a newspaper, and one of the men gave defendant a slip of paper and something like money. He then entered the bar of the Cross Keys Hotel, and remained there until ten minutes past twelve, when he came out and went down Dunraven Street. Defendant next spoke to a party of four, one of whom handed him some- thing which he placed in his, coat pocket. Defendant then went up Gelli Road and spoke to two men who were reading a newspaper. After a conversation the three entered the urinal at the back of the Cross Keys, and after a few seconds came out again. Defendant afterwards went behind-the hoarding placed in front of the new Empire which is in course of erection, and spoke to six men who were reading a newspaper. One of them handed defendant something. Defendant again went up Gelli Road, speaking to several men on the way. About 1.20 he went into the Cross Keys, when witness., and P.C. Moore left their place of concealment and went to arrest him. He was at the far end of the counter, speaking to a man. The man was in the act of handing defen- dant some slips of paper, which witness intercepted, and found they referred to horses running that day, and money to be put on each horse was mentioned on the slips. Witness then charged defen- dant with street betting, to which he replied: I have nothing to say." Defen- dant was then conveyed to Tonypandy Police Station and there charged, to which he again replied: "I have nothing to say." When witness searched him he found £2 10s. in o-old in the right-hand waist- coat pocket, 12 half-crowns in left-hand coat pocket, and 26 two-shilling pieces, 38 shillin;gr., 16 sixpenny-bits, 6 three- penny-bits and 9d. in coppers in other pockets, amounting in all to t9 0s. 3d. In the other waistcoat pocket he found seven slips of paper, naming horses running that day at Epsom and elsewhere, and in a pocket book were four slips of paper relating to horses running on the previous day. In another pocket was a number of slips for the use of those who had no slips. In the other coat pocket were two copies of the Sporting Chronicle" for 20th and 21st April. Defendant was liberated on the deposit of £10. Defendant pleaded guilty. The Chairman remarked that street betting in particular, and betting in general, was most fascinating, but it was almost a certainty for the bookie every time. These street bookies lived on young men who put down all their pocket money in the hope of winning a lot, which they never did. They were drawn on by men like defendant, who took part in a most degrading occupation. A fine of tIO was imposed, which, said Mr. Jenkins, would be considerably heavier if defendant persisted in carrying on the same occupation and' was again caught. DRUNKS.

Rhondda Place-Names and .Their…
Rhondda Place-Names and Their History. Mynydd Pennhys. Ffynon Fair. The monastery of Penrhys appears to have attracted a good deal of attention in the days when the worship of Mary was a common practice in the land. An image of the Virgin Mary existed here, and Hugh Latimer, who seems to have looked upon her more as a, witch, caused the image to be taken away, much against the wishes of the people." The place, however, continued to attract many who firmly believed in the medicinal proper- ties of the waters. Says Nathan Wyn:— Tua deugalii i, haner can' mlynedd yn ol, yr oedd y ffynon hon mewn bri mawr ar gyfrif y rhinweddau iachaol a dybid fod yn perthyn iddi. Ystyrid ei dyfroedd yr adeg hono yn feddyginiaetl-i aiiaaeledig at y gymalwst, yn nghyd ag amryw ddoluriau ereill, a chyrchid iddi o bell ac agos. Byddai amaethdai Penrhys Uchaf, Pontrhondda a'r Star Gellidawel yn llawn ymwelwyr, bob haf yn y blynyddoedd hyny. Ceid dau fadd-dy (baths) cyfleus yn perthyn i'r ffynon, yn yr amser gynt, Byddai pob claf ar ol dyfod allan o'r dwfr yn taflu 1 pin bach i'r ffynon, a chedwir yr arferiad i fyny i radclau gan ymwelwyr a'r lie hyd y dydd heddyw. Gwelsom ganoedd lawer o binau ar ei gwaelod cyn hyn. Prill y credwn fod neb yn dal fod rhyw lawer o elfenau meddyg- iniaethol yn perthyn iddi yn awr."— Nathan Wyn, in the "Rhondda Leader," March 24th, 1900.
Penrhys and Rhys Ap Tewdwr.
Penrhys and Rhys Ap Tewdwr. Tradition has been bujsy with this place- name owing to the story which is asso- ciated with the death of Rhys ap Tewdwr. It is commonly held that the place marks the end of the kingdom of the south. This popular fancy is woven with the story of The Conquest of Glamorgan which was so mythically wrought by Oaradog of Llancarfan. The mystery is deepened because the death of Rhys and the conquest took place at the same date, and one event is sometimes looked upon as the outcome of the other. The story of the Conquest of Glamorgan, as chronicled by Caradog, is simply thus: The ruling prince in IGJamorgan towards the end of the eleventh century was Iestyn ap Gwrgant, whose territory lay next to that of Rhys. To the west of Rhys, in Pembrokeshire, was Eineon ab Collwyn, the "son of Cadivor, who was defeated by Rhys at the Battle of Llandydoch. Eineon fled to "lestyii ab Gwrgan, Tywysawg Morganwg a Gwent, yr hwn oedd yn rhyfela yn erbyn Rhys, ac adrawdd ci ansawdd iddaw." Eineon, who had been an officer ('' wr swydd ") at the courts of France and England, was promised Iestyn's daughter in marriage if lie brought him aid from England. Eineon proceeded to London," says the chronicle, and there secured the aid of Robert Fitzhamon. The combined forces of Ie,sityn and Fitzh anion's proceeded against Rhys, and at Hirwaen Wrgan the prince of the Deheubarth was defeated, and fled to Glyn Rhondda, where he was captured and beheaded at Penrhys. His son, Cynan, fled towards Neath, and was drowned at "Pwll Cynan." The entry regarding the downfall of Rhys in the Gwentian Brut of Caradoig is thus a chyfarfod y ddau lu ger llaw Brycheiniog, yn y lie a elwir Hirwaen Wrgan, a brwydr waedlyd fawr a fu rhyngthynt lie gorfu ar Rys ffoi, a'i ymlid a wnaetli Iestyn a'i ddal yng Nglynn Rhodneu, a lladd ei benn, a,c cnw y lie y bu hynny Penn rhys. This view is not supported by the more reliable authorities, Bint y Tywyosogin and Brut y Saeson. The former says: Deg mlynedd a phetwar ugein a mil (1090) oed oet Crist pan las Rys ab Tewdwr brenhin Deheubarth y gan y Ffreinc a oed yn presswylaw Breeheinawc, ac yna y dygwydawd teyrnas y Brytan- yeit." And the latter says: Anno dom Molxxxxi. y Has Rys vab Teudwr brenhin deheubarth y gan y freine a yttoed yn tngaw yna yn hrecheiniauo, ac yna y syrthws brenhiniaeth Kymre." These two chronicles' agree that Rhys died fighting against the French (as the Normans are described in the Bmtian of Brecon). This looksi as if, when Rhys' last battle was fought, the conquest of Brecheiniog had taken place or was pro- ceeding, and as if he were trying to oust the Normans, and not engaging in civil war with Iestyn, but there can be no certainty on the matter (" The Welsh People," Rhys and Jones, p. 280). The chief historians of to-day accept the view that Rhys died near Brecon, and not at Penrhys. Some "lace-ii.ame-s near Penrhys Farm are. sometimes,, adduced as proofs that they support the view that, Rhys died here. For instance," Oynllwyn Du," or the Black Trap; and Twyn Bryn Beddau is sometimes pointed out as the resting- place of the last prince of the kingdom of the south. Then again, there is Erw'r Beddau," the field of graves. Are these places to be connected with Norman struggles, or do they refer to something else? The evidence is too slight to war- rant us in connecting them with the death of Rhys. The whole history of these two or three years is so shrouded in mystery that a. clear solution as yet is impossible. They can quite as well be fitted on to any historical events as to the death of Rhys. Again, Penrhys is not peculiar to the Rhondda, but is found in various parts- of Glamorgan. The Rev. John Griffith, in his able book, Edward II. in Gla- morgan," says:—"The name Penrhys is also a generic place-name. The name has nothing to do with Rhys ap Tewdwr, or with any other Rhys (p. 225). It is very difficult to determine the meaning of mountain names, and the word Penrhys must be left m abeyance for a while.
Rhyfel y Frenhines.
Rhyfel y Frenhines. But if there is doubt as to the his- torical references of Caradog. there can be no doubt with regard to another his- torical event connected with this moun- tain. It will be remembered by many that Edward II. of Carnarvon was forced to abandon his crown owing to the intrigues: of the Despensers and the Mortimers. Edward and the Despensers fled to Neath, and from thence made his way to Caerphilly Castle, calling on the way at the Monastery of Penrhys. The king was soon after captured near Llan- J ti-isajit-tliougli. .at Penrhys, says one chronicle-and taken to Kenihvorth Castle .and finally to Berkeley Castle, where lie was brutally murdered. An entry in A Brief Chronicle" (in Latin) quoted in the "Report on MSS. in the Welsh Language," vol. i., connects the capture of the king with Penrhys. 1326 fuit guerra regine Cambrice vero dicta. ileuel eurenines in qua fuit captus Eclwardus rex Cognomine Kairnaruon. Cum hugone de spenser et ali.js multis magnatibus apud penrese in Glinrothne, qui ducti fuerunt per diuersas partes anglie et ibidem exterminati." (In 1326 Jvas the Queen's war called in Welsh, Rhyfel y Frenhines, in which was captured King; Edward, known as Car( narvon, together with, Hugh de Spenser and many other magnates, at Penrhys in Glinrothne, who were taken by divers parts into Ehgland 'and there exter- minated) "Cynllwyn Du" can easily be asso- ciated with, tho capture' of the king, though it is being maintained by some that it took place near Pant y Brad," between Tonyrefail and Llantrisant. But then, one cannot be always certain of the interpretation of our old place-names. The writer is indebted to Edward II. in Glamorgan" (Rev. J. Griffith) for much of the material in the present article. Books to be reviewed, and accounts of Welsh movements and societies, should be addressed: Welsh Correspondent, c/o (Rhondda Leader/ Tonypandy."
I IGood News from Merthyp.
Good News from Merthyp. All of us in Tonypandy will be glad to hear such .good news. We congratulate ourselves as well asi this Merthyr resident, for the intelligence is of the greatest im- portance to many of us here. Mrs. M. A. Williams, 24, Penuel Street, Twynrodynt, Merthyr, says —" I used to have such dragging pains in my back that I found it most difficult to raise myself after stooping. I got no rest at nights, because of the pains; I had giddy feelings and my legs and ankles were swollen. I was also a sufferer from indigestion, and had bad pains in my chest which went through to my shoulders. I was often so ill that I had to rest while I was at my work. I had heard of Doan's Backache Kidney Pills, so I made up my mind to try them. To my delight they soon eased my back, and considerably brightened me up. I persevered with the pills, and I can say they have done me the world of good; the pains have all quite gone. I am thankful to Doan's Pills for the benefit I have received." Pains in the back are a, sure sign of kidney disease; the pain is caused by the kidneys, which lie under the small of the back. Other common symptoms of kidney disorder are: dizziness, headache, watery swellings in the ankles and beneath the eyes, dimness of sight, urinary troubles, etc. Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are a special kidney and bladder medicine; they act directly on the kidneys—no action in the bowels—and thus cure the cause of backache, dropsy, gravel, rheumatism, and other results of diseased kidneys. Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are two shillings and ninepence per box (six boxes for thirteen shillings and ninepence). Of all chemists and stores, or post free, direct from Foster-McClellan Co., 8, Wells Street, Oxford Street, London, W. You are sure to get the right medicine if you ask distinctly for Doan's. 2810d
"Julius Caesar in Britain."
"Julius Caesar in Britain." Performance at Ynyshir. On Thursday and Saturday evenings last, at the Workmen's Hall, Ynyshir, successful performances were given of book, entitled Julius Coosar in Britain," the words, written by Fred Edmunds, being; set to music by C. T. West. The book has been written in comic vein, and really presented no little difficulty to pro- duce. The Seion Baptist Choir, Porth, was thoroughly trained by Mr. Thos. Wil- liams, Porth. Added interest was given to the performance by the presence in the caste of Mr. Harry Lewis Nelson; Miss Mattie Edwards. Treorchy; and Mr. W. D. Lloyd (the Welsh Foli), Porth. The title role was entrusted to Mr. D. J. Anthony, of Porth, who acquitted him- self very creditably. Mr. Harry "Lewis was in decidedly good voice as Cas- wallon (the British Chief). Nothing but praise can be bestowed on Miss, Edwards ("Mona"), whose beautiful soprano voice gave immense pleasure to all. As Balbus (Caesar's private secretary) Mr. Lloyd left nothing to be desired. In histrionic ability Mr. Lloyd and Miss E-mma Gough, who impersonated" Jona P (attendant on British Chieftainess) were probably most conspicuous. As "First Druid Mr. Dan Ellis was successful, as also was Mr. John Davies as Second Druid." "Cerwilfred" (Archdruid and Prophet Laureate) was undertaken by Mr. Edward Griffiths. Mr. Isaac Jones acted as "Centurion," and Mr. David James (Trebanog) as a "Druid" sang to very good effect. The chorus of British- War riors, Roman Legionaries, Dmids, Druidical Acolytes, and British Ladies provided a real treat. The Llwyncelyn Orchestral Band, under the oonductorship of Mr. R. Word en, added considerably to the musical effect. The .accompaniments on the piano were ably played by Madame Anthony. The chair was taken on Thurs- day evening by Mr. Wm. Evans (Porth Farm), and on Saturday by Dr. Ivor Davies, in the place of Mr. W. J. Thomas, J.P.

Mrs. Joel Chapman, Wardhedge Flitton, near Ampthill, Beds., writes: For over twenty years I suffered dreadfully from bronchitis and asthma, which was attended with nasal catarrh and Wood-spitting. I thought I should never be any better, but one day I tried Veno's Lightning Cough Cure, and was relieved after one dose. I could breathe freely and naturally through the nose, the blood-spitting, was at once stopped, and I am now quite cured." Veno's Lightning Cough Cure can be bought for 9-d., l/l and 2/9 everywhere, and is a perfect cUlre for coughsi, coldsi, and all chest and lung troubles.
