There has not been a "rush" since the Eight Hours Ball came into operaton and notwthstaneling statements to the contrary, this measure has considerably re- duced the output, a result which with revival ita manufectures, must be felt in prices.

CHURCH SCHOOL MANAGERS. THE TEACHING OF WELSH. A meeting of the Managers of Llandudno Church Schools was held on Tuesday evening, in the Church House Trinity Square. There were present the Rev. Ll. R. Hughes, M.A. (in the, chair), Mr Nathan Jones, Mr W Ellis Jones, and Miss Buckley (foundation managers), Mr McMasrfcer, and Mr W. H. Jones (representative managers). Mr J. E. Hornsby, Mr J. H. Stevens, Miss Barn ford. and Mrs Royle, tihe head teach- ers at the four schools of the parish. THE TEACHING OF WELSH. The main business of the meeting was to ap- point teachers to fill vacanies at St. Beuno and Bodafon. Two applications had been forward- ed by the Education Committee, but the Rector stated that two others had applied, but their applications had not been forwarded from the county offices. Mr McMaster said he was inclined to kick against suoh treatment, and it was pointed out that the committee may have withheld the ap- plications because the applicants could not speak Welsh. Mr McMaster said he noticed that there was always something in the papers about the teaching of Welsih. It was well that the chil- dren should receive some instruction, but was not so sure that it should be imperative. The Rector said the only school they had good Welsih was Bodafon, where the children could read and speak Welsh excellently. The two applications were then considered, one from Miss Leonora Brown, Kidderminster, and the other from Miss Davies, Penmachno. The latter only was capable of teaching Welsih. but the clualificatio-n-s of the first-named were much superior, and after some discussion it was resolved to .recommend the Education Committee to appoint her to St. Beuno subject to 'her health being satisfactory. It. was stated after the appointment had been made that the other two applicants were Miss Pearson, of Worcester (whose parents reside at Llandtudnoi) and Mias Moore, of Conway. It was proposed by Mr J. McMaster, and seconded by Mr W. Ellis Jones, that failing Miss Brown, the Education Committee be ask- ed to appoint Miss Pearson or Miss Moore, neither of whom it was started could teach Welsh. Mr W. H. Jones proposed hat Miss Davies, Penmachno, be appointed. In his opinion every encouragement should be given to the children to learn to speak and read Welsh. There were a great many Welsh children on the Orme who were likely to lose their language, and he would be sorry for that. The Rector replied that Mrs Royle was thoroughly qualified to teach Welsh, and did so for two hours a week, according to. regula- tions. It had to be admitted, however, that a great deal of time was wasted over the language on the Orme. In their Sunday School they found it impossible to get the chil- dren to read Welsh, because it was not spoken in their homes. Mr Nathan Jones said he agreed with every word spoken by Mr W. H. Jones, and seconded his .resolution. Mr McMaster said that on second thoughts he was inclined to take the same view. On a vote being taken Mr W. Ellis Jones and Miss Buckley voted in favour of the ori- ginal resolution, and Mr W. H. Jones and Mr Nathan Jones against. Mr McMaster did not vote. The Chairman gave hiis; volte in favour of the appointment of Miss Pearson or Miss Moore. It was also unanimously resolved to express dissatisfaction at the methods of the Educa- tion Committee in noit forwarding all the appli- cations for the managers to consider. THE HOLIDAYS. It was decided that the mid-summer holidays should commence on July 22ndl and continue for five weeks as usual. The only other business of interest was the reading of the religious inspection of the schools which are given fully in our columns.

TRUE TO HER WORD. WAITED SIXTY YEARS TO WED. A remrurkable story of filial devotion and lover-s' ocnstancy is reported from Braila, where Maia Liega, aged eighty, has just been married to her fiance, Joseph Stolesco, aged eighty-five, to whom she has been engaged for nearly sixty years. As a. girL of twenty Maria had consented to marry Stoesco, but her father having opposed the match she had agreed that she would never marry as long as he lived. The father died last week at the age of 113, and thereupon the devoted! lowers were married. The ceremony was performed by the Bishop of Braila, who held up the newly-married couple as an example to all young lovers. A countryman on a visit to Dublin wished to

buy a watch, and', having selected one, asked the price. Aftetr being toid the price of it, he said lift was too dear. "But," said the shopman, "I must charge extra for the chasing." "Well," .said the countryman, "how much will it be if I pay ready cash and you have no chasing to do?"

I STERILISATION OF BOTTLES NORTH WALES SANITARY INSPECTORS' ASSOCIATION. MEETING AT LLANDUDNO. A sessional meeting of the Sanitary Inspec- tors' Association, North Wales centre, was held on Saturday afternoon at the Town Hall, Llandudno. Mr W. Littite, Sanitary Inspector;, Llandudno. vice chairman, presided in the ab- sence of the chairman Mir R. H. Parry. The Executive Committee recommended, that for the future the chairman should be elected for one year, and that he should be eligible for re-elec- tion for one additional year only. They further recommended that, iin ordter to stimulate in- terest iin the meetings, an occasional paper should be presented in Welsh, and Mr R. H. Parry was invited to prepare the first of such papers. Mr WiHiiiam Jones, M.P., was re-elected president, and Mr W. Little was elected chair- man for the ensuiing year. Mr E. Roberts (Car- narvon) was elected vce chairman. The next meeting will be at Bangoir. Dr. G. Lewis Travis read! a .short paper on the sterilisation of bottles at Llandudno, based on a report by the dhairman. In April, 1909, owing to the large number of bottles conveyed amongst the house refuse to the destructor, which bottles the owners were aliiiowed to re- move in anything but a citeanly condition, the Llandudno Health Committee decided, to de- stroy all the bottles unless they were sterilised before being removed from the destructor. The Committee put down a sterilising tank, and ordered that all bottles should; be boiled for twenty minutes before beting taketn from the premises. The tank cosit £10, and the charge now made upon the owners of the bottles for the cost of steriC-isation was 2d. pew dozen. The bottles were placed -in the tank, which was then filled with cold waiter. The water was gradually raised to boiling point, so that there were few breakages. Up to the. end' of June 2.667 dozen bottles had been treated in this way, or about a quarter of the number of bot- tles passing through the Llandudno bottlers' exchange during the same periiod. After steril- isation the bottles were as clean as when new, and while before the adoption of this system dirty bottles were rather frequently brought to the health department by visitors and1, others, since its intmducton there had not been any cotmplajiints at all." It would be a step in the right direction if the Bottlers' Association, at thqlr depot in Llandudno, would fix up a sterilising plant of their own, and treat all bottles passing through the exchange before they were returned to tlhelir owners. The fashion of washing bottles at the stores was far from perfection. The Chairman handed round a specimen bottle of beer brought to the, health department by a visitor before the sterilisation plant came into operation. The liquid had a heavy sedi- ment, Last year, he said, the Bottlers' Asso- ciation paid the Council e20, but the charge was then 3d. a dozen. A discussion followed upon the proposal that a qualified inspector of daiTiilelS and cowisheds ought to be appointed for each county, in order that a uniform, system might be adopted for the prevention of milk pollution. It was decided to pass a irecoliution expressing the sense of the branch on the matter at the next meeting. A TOMATO TIN TRICK. The Charman showed the meeting two tins of preserved tomatoes, one in the state in which it would be safe to buy it, and the other with the cylinder heads bulging out owing to the fermerttive gases formed within. He said that it was the practice of dishonest trades- people to turn down a portion of the label pasted round the tins which were in that state, to perforate the tins and let out the gas, so enabling tihe hea-cls to flatten again, and then to sell the article to the next unsuspicious cus- tomer. That was a criminal trick which it was necessary to be on one's guard against, by not on',y seeing that the ends of the can were pro- perly concave but that the label had not been tampered with.

SENSIBLE HOLIDAY-MAKERS Do not merely enjoy the sea-air and exercise. They use judgment in their selection of food. You cannot be too careful how you appease the sharp and welcome appetite engendered by the fresh pure air of the sea. You must not give way to gross feeding and expect your stomach and digestive organs to respond to the call of overwork. Select foods which nourish and are easily digested. Nothing its more suitable to satiate hunger than the inexpensive. yet ex- tremely valuable currant. As holiday diet cur- rants 'in any form are unequalled— Currant Bread, Currant Scones, Currant Biscuits, or any of the numerous- confections of currants 'are not only pallatablie, but nutritious, easily digested and thoroughly beneficial to the system.' Cur- rants contain grapeHSugar, the most valuable form of diet, and are recommended by the highest authorities on medlicine and science. Currants are 80' per cent. nutriment, and 99 per cent. soluble matter. Eaten by Royalty on the aëlvce of Royal physicians.

Yellow spectacles for weak eyes are recom- mended by Dr. Motais, of Paris. He declares that yellow is very aoothing to. the sight, and that for fifteen years he has prescribed glasses of this colour with excellent results.

DENBIGH POLICE COMMITTEE. THE LLYSFAEN DIFFICULTY. The quarterly meeting of the Gommlittee was held at Denbigh on Friday, Mr James Darling- ton presiding. HONOUR FOR THE POLICE. The Chairman congratulated the Chief Con- stable (Major Leadbetter) on receiving the King's medal for distinguished service. Police Constable Powell, of LlantyaiiMo, was present, and also received, the coaigtratuations of the Committee. Constable Powell was similarly honoured by the King for conspicuous bravery. RUTHIN COUNTY HALL. Tenders were submitted for carrying out cer- tain proposed alterations to the County Hall at Ruthin, and Colonel Saxon Gregson Ellis moved the adoption of two tenders, subject to the continuance of the present aasize system. The accommodation, he said. was sufficient for quarter sessions and other county business, but not for assize work. The motion was seconded, and carried. Ooonel Me sham moved that a sinilar resolu- tion to those passed by other public bodies in the county be adopted, protesting against the proposed alteration of the assize system, where- by the Denbighshire Assizes should be removed from. Ruthin to Chester. Mr B. Jones (Denbigh) seconded, and the motion was carried unanimously. CIHIEF CONSTABLE'S REPORT. The quarterly report of the Chief Constable stated that crime and offences, as compared with the corresponding period of last year, showed a decrease of nine in indictable offences and a decrease of £ 13 17s. 6d. fen the value of property stolen. For drunkenness 124 persons were proceeded against, 19 of whom were for being drunk on Sundays, as aganst 157 and 22 in the corresponding quarter. The report was adopted. EXTRA CONSTABLE-S. The Chief Constable was given authority to appoint two extra constables to, he stationed at Cerrigydruidion and Llanfihangel, in conse- quence of the Birkenhead waterworks. The extra cost will be borne by the Corporation. THE LLYSFAEN DIFFICULTY. The Clerk (Mr W. R. Evans) reported that the Local Government Board had declined to make a provisional order in the matter of Llysfaen. Denbighshire was at present policing this dis- trict, and whether they were dong it under a valid agreement was very .doubtful. The matter was referred to the Committee having charge of it, with the Chief Constable added.

GRAVE "DIVINING." A CLERGYMAN'S INVENTION. Among the vislitürs to Bangor Cathedral a few days ago was a clergyman, who inquired of the verger whether there were many interments within the old fane, and he produced a simple looking instrument composed of brass wires, which converged to a potint, and: were held by two handles. Explaining that the instrument woulld indicate the presence of graves, he walked about the Cathedral with it in his handsb and at intervals it made a downward thrust, which, said. the clergyman,, showed there waa a girave beneath. Every time he crossed a gravestone the instrument was in- voluntarily drawn towamds the floor, -as though it were a piece of steel attracted by a magnet, and the same thing occurred at spots where there were no stones indicating graves. The verger was pea-milted to. te.t the instru- ment which in he's hands performed thei same movements. He states that he found it im- possible to prevent the instrument from point- ing downwards. Tested over a cellar the in- strument, which the clergyman .stated was his own invention, remained horizontaC.

A FOUNDLING WHO PROSPERED. THE MISSING BIRTH RECORD. The curious case of a London man is causing the C-aersws Board of Guardians some trouble. Many years ago a woman on tramp with a seven-months-old1 child! was admitted to the houMe. The child became a foundling, went out into the world, and under an assumed name has prospered. Recently he ganed a good post in Paris, and went over to take it up. But he could not produce a. birth certi- ficate or give his parentage, and he had to re- linquish it. He has now reported the Board of Guardians to the Local; Government Board for neglect in not having a, record of who he is But they cannot help him, and the only person, it was reported to the Board, who can solve the mystery is an octogenarian woman at Caersws. She, however, resolutely keeps her lips sealed.

INCENSED WELSH VICAR. The Rev. J. T. Roberts, vicar of Mochdre (Mont.), was moved to speak plainly on Sun- day owing to the waywardness of his flock in leaving the church to attend anniversary seT- vices at the Methodist chapel close by. Noting the smallness of his own congregation, he de- clared warmly that English people were more faithful to the Church than the Welsh, as the latter would go even to see a monkey on a stick.

I MILITIA MAN'S THEFTS. At a Special Police Court on Monday, before Dr. Dalton and Mr J. Adey Wells, Walter Griffiths, a private in the 3rd Welsh Militia, now encamped at Conway, was charged by In- spector Owen with stealing a bicycle value P,5, the property of Mr R. B. Dunphy, and a pair of opera giassest and bottle of scent, the pro- perty of Mr L. A. Cocker. Mr Dunphy isaid lin evidence that on Satucrèiay night he left his bicycle outside the shop of Mr D. 0. Phillips, poulterer, while he Wient,inside. When he came out a quarter-of- an-hour latter the bicycle had disappeared. He identified the bicycle in court as his property. Andrew Jones, butcher's assistant, said: "I was going home to Llanriios after twelve o'clock on Saturday night and saw defendant on. Conway Road. He had a bicycle, and asked me for a match to light the lamp. I gave him one, and after he had lit the lamp he mounted and fell off three or four times. When I got up to him again he offered to sell me the bicycle for ten shillings. When I said I did not want it he tried to niounlt ,again but fell and then offered to sell .'it for eight shillings. He was in drink, and when he did get on was all over the road. P.C. Evans djepoeed that on Saturday nigln. about 11 45 prisoner passed himself and In- spector Owen at the bottom of Mostyn Street. As he was rtiding without a light he wa.s asked to dismount, and witness helped him to. light the bicycle lamp. Soon after on receiving in- formation he followed accused on another bicycle and got up to him at the top of Llan- rhos Hill and todk him into custody on the charge of .stealing the bicycle. On being charged at the Police Station he said, "A man gave lit to me to. go for a rdde. I was going to bring it back. Accused in reply to the charge pleaded not guilty, but after an officer in court had consulted with the magistrates' clerk and spoken to the accused, the plea was withdrawn and that of guilty substituted. The ceeond charge was then heard, Mr L. A. Cocker stating that accused vLsited hiis shop twice on Saturday and bought some articles. The opera glasses and scent produced were his property, and were on the shop counter on iSaJturday niglht. P.C. Evans said that the articles, were found on accused when brought to the Police Station. He waschamged With stealing them and re- pied: "I bought the glasses in a public house and the scent in a chemist's shop." Accused' pleaded guilty to the second charge, and said he had taken the things when in .drink. He did not know where he got them from, It would not have happened only he met some friends from Manchester and they wentt with two girls drinking. He drank lemonade at first, for he was a staunch teetotaller, but was persuaded to. take some beer. A sentence of one month's hard labour was imposed for the first offence and fourteen days for the second, the sentences to run con- currently. "Y"1t"ill.n

Harps have been discovered in Egyptian tombs, the strings .of which, in several in- stances, were intact, and gave forth distinct sounds, after- an estimated siilence of 3,000 years.
