Since my children have been going to sehool, I have suffered unteld misery on account of their heads. Do what I may, I could net keep them clean. I have cried myself to sleep at nights with the annoyance, but now I use HAGON'S CLEANSER once a qleek-after their bath, and dip the brush in it when I dress their hair daily. There has been no more trouble, and their hair is glossy aid strong." My little girl has very fair hair, and was much troubled with nits, &c., but since using HAGON'S CLEANSKR I have never seen any sign of live stock, and her hair is lovely, ✓ GOLDEN HAIR. "I have used HAGON'S CLEANSER con- stantly for my girls, and they now have beautiful golden hair iu such great abun- dance that strangers stop in the street to h'nre them." SCRAGGY HAIR. I have three children-two girls and a boy. The boy has strong, healthy hair always, but the two girls' hair used to come out coombsfull at a time, and what they kept was scraggy ana weak. I have used HAGON'S CLEANSER for six months now, and their hair is much longer, stronger, and brighter. I could hardly have hoped for such success." MOTHERS. have written the above in their letters to me. One says she would rather pay a sovereign a bottle than be compelled to do without HAG.U\'s CLEANSKR now. The cost is Sixpence per bottle, by post tor 9d, or two bottl^a by post for Is 4d from the maker. Address MR HAGON, CHEMIST, CARDIFF— but most Chemists sell HAGON'S CLEANSER.'

Music AND RELIGION.—A very successful literary meeting was held on Friday evening last at Zion Calvinistic Methodist Chapel, under the auspices of the Vale of Glamorgan District Festival Com- mittee. The Rev Aaron Davies, D. D., presided over a fairly representative gathering of the leaders of singing, and others from the Calvinistic Method- ist Churches of the district, and an interesting paper was read by Mr T. Davies, Llanbythery, on Instrumental Music and its Place in Religious Services." The paper was followed by a very profitable discussion, in which the Revs Wm Williams, J. L. Jenkins, and C. J.

GRAND CONCERT.-At the Llancarfan Board Schools on Wednesday evening in last week, a grand concert was held, when the Barry District Glee Society (of National Eisteddfod fame), under the leadership of Mr D. Farr, were strongly in evidence. Despite the unfavourable weather ex- perienced, which, no doubt, militated greatly against the attendance, the room was fairly well filled, thanks to the attraction of the celebrated party. The chair was taken by Mr Williams. hay and corn merchant, Canton. The party were ia excellent form, and the several glees and choruses rendered by them were lisitened to with rapt attention and enthusiastically applauded. Messrs Pntchard, Medoroft, and T. Fair as solo- ists, were very happy in their renderings, particu- larly the latter in his singing of the "Soldier's Song," which was rapturously encored, Mr Farr responding with Revenge in good style. Mr Jenkins-, another member of the party, delighted the audience with a few well selected comic songs. Hiss Amelia Hopkins, Moulton, sang very nicely* especially her Dream of Paradise," which was most praiseworthy. Miss Amy Watts, Canton, as elocutionist, was quite a favourite with the audience. Mr J. Lloyd, Barry, as usual, proved himself a most efficient accompanist. The pro- gramme was as follows Chorus, Comrades Song of Hope," Party song, Return unto thy Rest." Mr Grif Griffiths song. The Gift," Miss A. Hopkins recitation, Bob Brocli," Miss Amy Watts; song, I know where to find them," Mr Jenkins (encored) recit. and chorus, Where is he," Mr A. J.
