Notes and News.
Notes and News. SWANSEA was the real capital of Wales during this week. No town in Wales can so readily command a Welsh crowd as Swansea, It is situate ir the very centre of industrial and the agri- cultural life of the western portion of the Principality. To obtain a crowd is one thing, but to handle it and cater for it is another. In Swansea the latter arrangements were simply perfect, and the local residents were very courteous in guiding and instructing the visitor. WELSH miners are again in clover. Last week the Conciliation Board awarded them an increase of five per cent. in their wages. TARIFF reform, as a serious political question, is dead but it is still used as a humorous and entertaining subject to fill up the columns of the Welsh local Tory papers. WHAT time does the next train go to Ystrad man" ? asked a collier to a raw porter on Swansea platform late one night this week. Why, man," replied the official, the next train's just went." CARDIFF Conservatives are very jubilant these days. It is stated that Lord Niman Crichton-Stuart, a brother of the Marquis of Bute, will contest the city in the Conserva- tive interest at the next general election. There is no need to hurry, however, as by that time perhaps, Mr. Ivor Guest may be a pronounced Tory again. THE pros, and cons of the use of alcohol are suitable subjects for the silly season." It is now stated that Madame Patti attri- butes her perrennial youth and the lasting qualities of her voice to the use of occasional stimulants. What with soap for the com- plexion and liquor for the lungs there appears to be no limit to the fame our future artistes can achieve. AN old man living close to Carmarthen used to speak years ago very gloomily of his sons. "There's one of them," he used to say, I can do very well with him, for I will find him a place as gate-minder on a railway crossing. As for the other, I don't know what in the world to do with him. I don't see anything in him." To-day the pro- spective gate-minder is a distinguished member of one of the professions, and the other is-the Rev. Elvet Lewis THE Welsh Education Department has issued a complete list of the public elemen- tary schools in Wales and Monmouthshire, and the following useful summary is given as an appendix :— Provided Non-provided schools. schools.

MR. FAIRGRAY, of Exeter, has been ap- pointed postmaster of Cardiff at a salary of 1750 per annum. If a Welshman had been appointed what a lot some people would have to say about Wales for the Welsh WE notice that at Mold the Flintshire Licensing Committee awarded £1,156 com- pensation for five licenses in that county. IT is very generally agreed that the summer weather of 1907 is decidedly unique. That much quoted individual "the oldest inhabitant," never remembers such a broken season." AN unique incident is reported from Car- narvonshire. Upon the summit of Snowdon a baby has just been born-the first to arrive on the top of the famous Welsh mountain. In justice to the so-called "yellow press —the Daily Mail and the Daily Express, it must be said that their reports of the Welsh National Eisteddfod are much racier and more interestingly written than those in any other London journal. A MOST interesting visitor to South Wales this week is Ap Madoc, of Chicago. Ap Madoc is a most patriotic Cymro, and a warm believer in Cymru Fydd. A CURIOUS form of snobbery in Wales is to spell Lewis as Lewes, Davies as Davis, Jenkins as Jenkyns, &c. There are some folk who think that Mr. Davis sounds more pleasantly than Mr. Davies
