Exercise is said to be essential to health in one iorin or oi<jei'? and to those who perhaps c;;nnot r:'ke their dail\ walks abroadp, erhaps are %t wars and means for exercising the iiiu<el<-s. and I Relieve the movements which are elicoui-,I-e(I iii connection with mechanical appli- ances at the Zander Institute, are very excellent and car. be enjoyed, even by those who find much walking or standing impossible. I see that Dr. Elizabeth Garrett-Anderson advises old ladies who cannot ;:0 in for lawn tennis, riding, or athletic exercises, to indulge in pames of ball, which. sV.e savs, is an excellent muscular effort. I hope it does not mean that I am already quite in the seies-:td vellow leaf myself when 1 receive au invitation from a spinster neighbour who, like myself, is somewhat incapacitated from walk- ing, to take tea with her one afternoon very shortly, to meet a few other ladies about my O'.Vll agC, alld to ptay "a gume of ball. We "p yet to liittke out the rules of our "ball I do not doubt that we shall find it thoroughly enjoy t he mild exer- Soinething unusual happened in the weather oflice the other day to give us a foretaste of winter. Snow £ »?! so that visitors came in with their coats sprinkled with white crystal flakes, and the next day was a bright cold wintry frosty day. This suggestion, of course, set everybody thinking about flannels and furs. and I noticed that woollen under garments of various kinds were displayed on tin. counters of every drapery shop I entered. As I have long ago Income hygienic myself, and iiai e induced all my house- hold to encase themselves in wool both iu summer and winter, only changing its thickness according to the season, we were not greatly scared by the tirst cold (ltd biting blast, tor our garments of Jaegav or I\.jthwell hosiery tem- pered the wind to the wearer, and glad we were that we had not j'ound it necessary to pile on niore wool, when the iiext,.eai. %N- saw the ther- mometer standing almost at summer heat, so rapid was the change. 15ut it is just in such a variable climate as outs, (hat the great benefit and value of woe lien clothing i. felt; it prevents the bad elfecfs of such sudden changes to heat or cold on a sensitive skin, .and I trust that when a desire for extra warmth drives any of my readers out of tleir calico gar- ments into wooilen ones, thc-y will never leave them off, for I am sure if they persevere they will find the comfort of light woollen clothing in the hot weather as much as in the cold. Those who have tried it tell me that the cellular cotton fabric is very comfortable wear, and it is not nearly so costly as wool, and it does uot shrink inwashiiig, which is the one great drawback to pure wool, and makes a woollen outfit so very expensive, for it has to be renewed far before it wears out. if washed in the usual way. It is terribly vexatious to find one's costly stock of dainty, comfortable woollen garments become "small by degrees and beautifully less, uutil they are only large enough for a child of six years old. and even then by careless and bad washing they have been so felted and thickened that they have no elasticity in them, and aN more like heavy cloth than delicate hosiery. The only way of avoiding this condition of things is either to have all flannel garments washed at home, with care, or to eliminate them from the general family laundry, and entrust some careful person, who does not profess to be X lauudress and shirt ironer, with these pre- rions goods, instructing her exactly in the A ay to treat them, so as to cause their original softness and elasticity to remain, and to let them honestly wear out instead of causing hem to shrink away and become useless. I nave found this latter plan successful, and the directions I give are, never to l'uh or wring woollens at ail-to wash them in moderate^hot soapy water, squeezing them, rather than rub- bing them, never to wriug them hut to press the water out without twisting them, and to dry them off quickly, pulling the garments into shape occasionally as they hang before the tire or out of doors in the sun. I hear that there is a laundry about to be started in London under the name of the "Salvo Laundry," in which water will be passed through the clcthes in a manner cluite different from the ordinary way, which will, they say, absolutely disinfect them and utterly destroy any germs of disease or lurking baeheria they may contain, and also entirely prevent shrinking and felting in woollen fabrics, for in the new washer the clothes are perfectly at rest, and are never touched, whilst a boiling huid is constantly rushing through them. At present I know but little about this process, which I believe is yet scarcely started, but I shaH make it my business to enquire into it when I hear that it is not merely a scheme, but a working reality, and I know some scientific persons who have already inspected the new machinery with satisfaction, and seem to expect success in the voiking of this most important factor ia .lonieslic comfort and economy. Since the days of Falsi a(T the world has found \oinething to laugh at in a gross fat man," and ali a fat woman r' She has no chance at all to <-sc.;p a joke if she be withal but good nature:! Hut this is not the worst of the posi- tion. Doctors begin to tell us now that corpulency is by no means an evidence of health, but rather the reverse, and instead of exciting ritiicule it ought to excite pity, and to suggest that something is out of gear in the internal economy of the human body-which must, if possible, be set t ight by medical skill. The time has passed when every corpulent per- son was supposed to be a lover of t lie good things of the table, and scientific men have discovered other causes for a superabundance of adipose tissue. When the victim is a woman, especially a fashionable woman, fond of society and its pleasures, she is often tempted to endeavour by pressure, tight lacing, and so forth, to disguise her redundant propor- tions, and the terrible evils which are thus induced require no imagination to depict. I know that indigestion is almost a certain conse- quence of this pernicious practice, the appetite fails, for the stomach is compressed and often displaced, the circulation is interfered with, because the larger vessels and arteries cannot do their duty, and this is often made evident by the fixed colour in the face and the unbecoming tint of the most prominent feature of the face, viz., the nose. These are serious evils in themselves, but how much more terrible is the craving for stimulants often induced when the natural appetite fails and the stomach is unable to per- form its proper functions. I am not drawing gJ1 my imagination for these remarks. I know too well their sad reality, and have traced the consequences of the use of such mechanical means in the hope of reducing a rapidly increasing amuunt of adipose I tissue in the figures of women who were at one time graceful and beautiful. But this "too solid llesh will not melt of itself, nor can it be put out of sight; the fat is there, and can only be reduced by proper and scientific measures. Medicine has nothing to do with the new system now adopted by those who are i-eltily in earnest in the matter, and sensible enough to deny themselves a few of the indulgences to which they have been accustomed, and yet the self-denial necessary is but slight, and nothing when compared with the demands of such systems as Mr. Banting's, or the doses of nauseous medicine prescribed by various quacks as a certain remedy for obesity, and swallowed by their victims often with terrible results to their general health. Some time ago I saw a book published by I Chatto and Windus and called "Food for the Fat.. and as it was written by a duly qualified physician, a Dr. Yorke Davies. of Sherborne, I sent for it, and have read it through with satis- fied ion, for at the time I was much interested in I the subject on behalf of a young married lady friend of mine, who was growing inordinately stout, and thereby losing her good looks, her health and her power of taking exercise. She adopted the dietetic system recommended by the only medical man as far as I know who bad then made the subject his careful, scientific st e. !y. and the result is most satisfactory. She a; once and for some time lost weight at the rate of from five pounds to seven pounds a week, and yet her strength increased, and her muscles became more vigorous and elastic than before, It is almot surprising to find that on this system meat can be eaten as u?ua! and vege- tables of certain kinds without restriction, and yet fat can be got rid of I But in order to understand the wnv and the wherefore of this proved fact one should Ili-. what of a physiologist oneself, and | I know something of the arrangements and necessities of the human body, which is after all out a curious machine requiring a daily supply of fuel to keep it going, which ought to be regulated v. ts-iy, according to the habits of each individual and the aemands made upon him. The secret is so to feeu each person, that whilst the muscles, nerves, and other organs of the body are kept in 1inll condition and give strength and energv wilhout making fat, Ilie excess of this material, wnieh may have accumulated in the body, shall be appropriated and burnt off in the lungs, when it comes in contact with oxygen, and keep up the warmth of the individual in the process. On such principles as these wisely formulated by a sensible physician, -ucces.s in the reduction of fat is certain, and there is but little self-denial letrnired in the matter. Sugar and farinaceous foods must be abandoned, and saccharin substi- tuted for sugar in all cases. But any on- who desires to be relieved of ouesity should apply to a good professional cuetarian, who has i proper credentials as a medical man, who has studied the subject, and lie wi!! formulate a system of diet suitable I lor each individual case, without recourse to any urugs or medicine whatever. I think this a far more satisfactory thing to do. even by correspon- dence, than to resort to any of the advertised and o.temnjunous compounds of quacks, and un- professional ad d»ers who are the greatest frauds in  world. This same ?- Yorke Davies haa w "rA iVft,, dietetic questions in the Lancet vw Mfaual ?oMr?, so that I who Sh¡'Înk fro? ouac! have no hesitation in alenlÎon82g the name of in author,v?hem I do not know personally at all, but In whose  1 laninsss°sf ya,osiff; believe. -Th insidious nature of the complamt WhICh he Drofesses to cure is sometime even more to Kbe Sreadedthananattackofsomegoodhonestdisease whan.nG which cn he treated and pro nam y cured, ailing to the rcconised medtcal ccde The ab?donn?nt of mar m every form s one cardinal point in the treatment of corpulency, and at first it seems very hard to give up all delicious bon-bons, tart,. I)uddingg, and calies. in which one takes delight; but the discovery of saccharin makes even this possible without regret. The pleasant little tabloids prepared by Messrs. Burroughs, Wellcome, and Co., to be had of any chemist, are quite a, agreeable in tea or coffee as the finest lump sugar, and much more available if carried about in the little flat bottle, in which they are sold, in one's pocket. Then a preparation of powdered saccharin may be purchased and used in puddings and pies or with stewed fruit and cream, and I know from ex- perience how impossible it is to detect its substi- tution for cane sugar. As for the delicious goodies winch arc so tempting, especially the lovely American con- coctions which nestle in the fascinating paper harmonies of delicate colours, in Duclos and Fuller's shop windows in Regent-st., one must draw the line, and shut one's eyes, and mouth too, from such seductive iniquities a« are likely to icterfere with the determined purpose of reduction in size and weight; and I think the reward is more than the self-denial. I ha.ve a personal and relative interest in the importation of can sugar, and in the price it fetches iu the market, so I am glad that everyone does not wish to get thinner, and that many even are aayiiitr, What shall I do to get fat I But this query is not so easily answered, for leanness often indicates want of nutrition, and implies inability to appropriate any of the products Gf good food, and the material which the fat man is told to reject, will not necessarily be digested and used in the economy of the thin. Sugar especially is more apt to produce immediate un- pleasant el&cts on the ill nourished and dyspeptic than on the apparently healthy but overweighted Falstaffian How true is it that One man's meat is another man's poison, and how needful it is to be warned against ill advised experiments, and the conclusions of charlatans and quacks in matters affecting health. Considerations such as these which con- stantly come before me make me anxious (as my readers know' I am) that every young person should during the period of education receive some good and reliable instruction in the ele- ments of physiology and chemistry, so that their own bodies shall not. for ever remain an un- explained mystery to them, thus allowing them to become an easy prey to impost ers of all kinds. Such knowledge is especially to be desired for girls, who are to become the housewives and mothers of the future, likely to have the welfare of many other human beings in their hands. How much sickness and misery might be avoided if every woman knew how to feed a baby, to bind up a broken limb, to prepare a wholesome and digestible meal for her family, and to ventilate and warm her house wisely, on proper and scientific principles. But our pre- sent educators I think neglect these matters, and substitute others which have no practical bearing on the future of the children they educate. If this week's letter seems dull to my readers, let them remember that life has its grave side, and that sometimes we must deal with realities. Next week I hope to have more amusing though not more important topics to write about. London. Thursday. PENELOPE.

A large staff of medical men. sup- plied with all the necessary surgical appliances, were in attendance.

Later, however, affairs moved more briskly, one of the Spiue-spHttera'forwardsgetting the ball ;veU down ?o goal but, being met with oppo- sition," he was carried senseless from the field. A lively scrimmage followed, amid a general cracking of rifes and snapping of spines. The field now being covered with wounded, the police interfered, and the play terminated in a draw.

BIG COLLECTIONS. I SIR.—Allow me a small space to make a few remarks, in a way of correction, upon the statement of Anlhropcs." To my knowledge never was the Nant church before charged publicly with the lack of feeling and the want of energy, &c., on the part of its members and officials as described by "Arithropos." Had he taken pains to nnd out the truth, and see to the annual report of our churches (as lie said he had to note things down in his diary), he would have probably found out that the accused church is amolit I the faithful with regard to contributions and collec- tlon". If upon the fact that the Sunday school belonging to the Nsrjt Calvinhtic Methodist Chapel collected on]) the petty sum of 13s (as termed by "Anthropos") he bases his statement when he seeks to show that the church manifests a lack of Reeling in relifiious affairs, I say his statement is entirely 'unfounded. The collection which your correspondent alluded to was only one of msny, and one of the least amt-r. £ the many during the last twelve months to- wards different causes. Still our energy and feeling lire ic-iz!ea by it. I wonder whether Anthropos" knows of any other Sunday School, of similar number, that ever fell eo low as to collect only a paltry sum of 13,. in To say that the Sunday on which this collection of 13-J was made had been a nominated day for the purpose of making a big collection towards liquidating the debt incurred by the re-building of the chnpel, is el. tirely a fabulous statement. No such day had brcen appointed. And I defy Anthropos" or anyone else to prove otherwise; and I trust if Anthrc-pos has any respect for the truth, that he will kindly withdraw his statement respecting the collection which appeared in your last issue. Whether we are worthy of help or not, I thank your good wiiter for the assistance he rendered us, if ever he did so.—I arv), &c., AMICUS, THE BISHOP OF ST. ASAPH OX THE I BURIALS BILL. SIR,—it is a miserable thing to read in the charge of the Bishop of this diocese, reported in to-day's Advertiser, how he acts the part of "Lors wife" in his lfmarh, rakes up the Burials Bill, and in no way regrets our having escaped from a very Sodom of clerical tyranny. Here was a state of things, solitary in its scandal, certainly unknown in any other country mailing itself Protectant on the face cf the earth. It put in the hands of an efheial, whose income 'was derived from the persona aggrieved, thelpoWEr to deny the relatives of the dead, if Baptists dying before baptism, or infants dying before baptism, all burial rites. It exactly imitated the policy of France and Spain in their palmy ecclesiastical days, when a Pro- testant could be buried in no cemetery or church-yard. It c: IDfdled the clergyman to bury a drunken wife- beuter or notoriously immoral man or woman, if baptised, in the eure and certain hope cf everlasiing life." It was the chronic cause of unseemly brawls by the graveside, and on one occasion this was seen at the interment of one of her Majesty's judgeti, Baron Pigot. Above all, it was utterly ignored in Scotland and Ireland, never having shown its cloven head or foot there, and now when such a state of things haB ceased to exist, we have our new Eishop reflecting upon the justice or expediency or neseasity of the Act. By a grim joke or attempt at it, he calls it a dead letter. I call it a living spirit. In hundreds of cases it has put the incumbent and his Nonconformist parishioners on a new footing.

A NONCONFORMIST. THE EIGHT HOURS' QUESTION. Sirt -I understand by Mr E. S. Clark's letter, that he denies making an attack on the member for Eat Denbighshire on the eight hours' question, but I wiil quote a few sentences of his speech to remind him d what he (lid say, as repoited. Firqt, he says that we had just h.,d a miners' demonstration here, one of the objects evidently being to listen to a speech by the Right Hon. G. O. Morgan. Secondly, an im- portant question which was discussed at that meeting was a demand for an eight hours' working day. Then he comes to that uncorrected statement referred to in my last letter, namely, the working hours at his colliery; and after a few words of praise to Mr Pickard, he says, unJike Mr G. (). M< igan, he anuroached the consideration of this subject tree from party spirit. In fact, he held that he was more thoroughly Liberal in the true sense of the word than Mr G. O. Morgan, and believed the clap.trap and pandering to the ignorance of the masses, of which they had had such recent instances, was utterly unbe- coming a man who had held office and pretended to any knowledge of the affairs ot the world, in thus appealing to the igncrance and thoughtlessness of his listeners. Mr Osborne Morgan was endeavouring t) catch a certain number of votes, and from this to the end of his speech, he says what he believes the effect of all this would have on the masseF. He also says in his letter that twelve working days constitute a fortnight, and he wants me to divide seventy-eight by twelve. I say I can't. NVe, as miners, do not wor k seventy-eight nor twelve days in the fortnight, but a3 a rule eleven days per fortnight through the United Kingdom, and it is so at Mr Clar k's colliery. They are working eleven days per fortnight, nine hours per day, or fifty-four in the six days, and forty-five in the five days, or ninty-nine per foituight. His men are descending the shaft in the morning at 530, ascending after the day's work :,t 4 o'clock p.m., men all out at 4.30 p.m. They com- mence winding coal 6 a.m., cease winding 4 p.m. Sir, I hope that Mr Clark will kindly take this advice, not to make statements that he cannot prove to be true. It is utterly unbecoming a man of his ability to lead the public astray on such an important question as the eight hours and the wages question. 1 am, &c., JOHN JONES, Groee, near Ruabon. COLONEL WHEATLEY AND MINING ROYALTIES. Sirt,-I have read Mr Osborne Morgan's observa- tions. as contained in his address to some of his con- stituents at Rhost-yllen, on my correspondence with him relative to mining royalties. I hid down two propositions. First, that the royal'y is paid not by miners or colliery owners, but by the consumers of coal throughout tha world. Stcond. that if that royalty were reduced, the reduc- tiun would go into the pockets of the consumers, and not into those of the miners or colliery owners. I understand that Mr Morgan disputes both these propositions, without, however, adducing any argument in suppoit of his own views. Let us illustrate the case. The royalty in North Wales may be taken at present at 51 a ton. Mr Morgan pro- poses by drastic legislation to reduc3 this t) aliout 2J. Let us assume that this has been done, and that tenders are invited for eupply, during 1891, cf 100.000 tons of coal on board ship, at Bir kenhead, for the use of the Rio Janeiro Gas Company. Each coiiieiy owner, in calculating the price at which he wiii tender, will put down working expenses, includ- ing miners' wages, wear and tear of plant, interest on capital employed, royalty, and railway carriage I to Biikenhead. He will, of course, reckon I there is only 2d royalty to pay instead of 5d, and will accordingly tender 3d lower than he would otherwise have done, or if he does not, he will find that someone else has, and he will have no chance of getting the contract. The re- sult will be that the accepted price will be 3.1 a ton lower than it would have been if the royalty had not been reduced, and the Rio Janeiro Gas Compauy will get their 100,000 ttlis of coal 3J a ton cheaper than they would otherwise have done. What I want to know is, how the miners and colliery owners are also going to get an extra 31 a ton. Mr Morgan sayslhave forgotten the Trades Union! which are powerful and well organised bodies, and will take care they get it. They are not merely powerful and well organised bodies, but confer great benefits in many ways on the miners. They ara not, however, sufficiently powerful to over-ride natural laws, and to make 6.1 out of 31. Mr Morgan says he has now had time to think the matter out, and has come to the conclusion that he is quite right. I ask him to devote half-an hour of his valuable time in explaining to us, in a letter in your paper, the process of reasoning by which he has arrived at that conclusion.—I am, &c.. M. J- WHEATLEY. 2, Crcmwtll Crescent, S. W., 5th November, 1890. MINING QUESTIONS. SIR,-It is to be regretted that Mr Osborne Morgan has not made himself acquainted with facti and figurep, before using them in his speeches. When a man of acknowledged ability states Well known facts his bearers have a right to assume he has assured himself that his facts are facts and not fiction, and that his figures are moderately reliable. In your issue of Nov. 1st, speaking at Rhostyllen, Mr Morgan is reported to have said It is a well known fact that the profit gained in working a mine was divided into three parts. Firstly, the wages of the men secondly, the interest on the capital invested in the mine; and thirdly, the rent or royalty. Hesaidat Wrexham, and he maintained it was the case, that, supposing the profit of a mine was £ 3.000, and 91,000 went in wages, R.1,000 for interest, and 1:1,000 for royalty, if they took the 91,000 from the owner, then it would be divided amongst the other two patties." Political morality must have indeed fallen low when a man in Mr Morgan's position can thus openly preach the gospel of plunder, and seek to bribe a whole constituency with an offer of liberty to put their hands into other peoples pockets. But let us examine the 44 well-known fact." It is not a fact that the profits of a mine—when there are any—are divided among owner, lessor, and workman. Profits are no more thus Rhared than are losses. Mr Morgan is not speaking of any tise or fall in wages due to good or bad trade, but to an absolute division of profit*, and he proceeds to illustrate his argument by an imaginary case of a profit of £3,000 divided into three equal parts, one of which, without the slightest reason given, is to be taken away from its owner, and added to the other two shares. Putting morality where, in politics, it seems generally to be, viz out of court, it would appear that a man of Mr Morgan's experience ought to know that wages and royalty form no part of profits, indeed, profit. cannot exist until these and all other charges are paid, and a balance remains. It IH CIDS obvious that what Mr Morgan had in his mind was not profit at all, but cost, a totally different matter. If this is so, it is pretty clear that Mr Morgan wished his audience to understand that the cost of a ton of coal might be divided into three equal parts, viz wages, interest on capital, and royalty. I have shown that interest or profit tloes net come into the question at all and now let us see how far his division is correct as regards the other two it-ms. The cost of a ton of coal delivered into wagons at the colliery in North Wales may on the average be divided in the following proportions, viz. Wages 72 per cent., materials, stores, management, and general charges, 22 per cent, and royalty 6pei cent. Taking these propoi tions, and dealing with Mr Morgan's imaginary 23,000, we find that so far from the latter sum being divided into three equal parts wages would clime to k2,160, materials, stores, &c., £660, and royalty 4:180. So that if Mr Morgan's truly liberal scheme were carried out, and half the royalty handed over to the workmen, the latter would benefit to the extent of about 4 per cent., or say 2d per day, not 2s as I believe Mr Morgan said on Wrexham Racecourse. In conclusion, allow me to say, sir, that I am sure neither the colliers nor the colliery owners of North Wales wish to live by dishonest means.—I am, &c., W. F. BUTLER. High6e!J, ovember 5th, 1890.

FOUND STARVING AT I DENBIGH. I THE POLICE ENTER. BY A WINDOW. I On Tuesday evening there was considerable com- motion caused in Beacon's Hill, Denbigh, on the appearance of the police with a ladder. Their intention was to break into a house where it was supposed a woman lay dead. A large and excited crowd collected. It appears that a married woman named Morgan, who has for some months resided with her daughter in a house in that street, had not been seen by the neighbors for several days, and those with whom she was intimate became alarmed. They tried upon several occasions to obtain admittance to the house, but the doors were all locked, and they gained no response when they shouted. They consulted the police, and Sergeant Jarvis obtained the services ot Mr Elias Jonte, glazier, and on going to the bedroom window, they heard a weak voice coming from the direction of the bed. They went in through the window, having firat of all to remove a pane of g!aFs, and discovered the occupant of the house exceedingly ill, and much wasted, lying on the bed. She was too weak to answer their questions. The set gea-it Bit about to search for food, the woman not having had any for eeveral days, but was unable to find any. The sergeant immediately sent food in. It appears the woman's husband has been away for some months, and has not been sending money for his wife and daughter, and the daughter went in search of her father on the prev ious Thursday.

ST. JOHN S AMBULANCE ASSOCIATION.—-A meeting of the Caergwrle Branch was held in the Drill Hall on Monday evening, to take into consideration the arrangements for the ensuing session. Rev. R. Roberts presided, and most of the members were pre- sent. A letter from Mr R. V. Kyrke regretting his inability to attend was read by the secretary. Messrs. W. W. Millington and Nickless, honorary members, were also present. The meeting was a very enthu. siastic one, and after the secretary bad explained the financial position of the branch, it was proposed, and unanimously carried, that a levy be made upon the members to carry on the work. It is proposed to have the final examination early in the new year, and then Caergwrle will be able to say it has more ambulance medal men in its locality than most of the towns in Wales. Mr D. D. Pierce's generous offer of a gold medal for the most proficient amongst the members, has naturally infused a greater intest in the class. Mr W. W. Miliington has kindly offered to give the first lecture of the session, and the secretary will be very pleased to receive the name of any gentle- man wishing to become a member. Try it!

QUARTERLY RETURN OF BIRTHS AND DEATHS IN NORTH WALES. It appears from the return of the Registrar General that there were 220,304 births and 122,320 deaths re- corded in England alcd Wales in the past quarter, "0 that the natural increase (if population was The birth rate is said to be 37.7, the lowest one for a single quarter since 1847. with only one exception The death rate is 16 5, or 1.0 less than the mean of the ten previous corresponding period?, and th?t the p?t season was remark?hfy ttFa?hy.i?t.h?unbyth?fac': that the current rate K w it:i tinea excet ti^na the lowest on record for the September quarter. The season rate is taken at 17 8. while that for the rural districts average 14.2. With respect to the causes of death, it appears that the deaths caused by zvmotic (or intectious) diseases yield a rate of 2 t;, whereas the mean of 20 years is 3.2. Much of this improvement is due to the fact that diarrhea*, the tiaiial epidemic of the summer was much below tho average, yielding a rate of 1.3, whereas the mean of ten years is 1.8. ldeasles slightly exceeded the average, whiie whcop- ing cough occurred about the average ratJ. Scarlet fever was much under the average. Fever of ether types, afforded a rate, whicu is with on? excaptiou, the lowest one yet given for the third quarter. Diph- theria slightly passed the average. Nearly eleven per cent, of the total deaths happened in workhouses,* hospitals, and other puplic institutions The emigration of 68 729 British people was rIoted in the past qusrt-r, including 47,277 Scotch, and 14 <76 Irish people, each showing further decline. The Registrar General states that the pro- portion of the popu:at;"n in receipt of pauper relief was 22 4 per thousand inhabitants, against 24.7. 24 i' and 23.5 in the three previous September q" uartos According to the official retm 0:1 frJm- the Royal Observatorj, Greenvvicit, the lueall teniper&ture in the past quarter was 59 4. and t I;is is stated to be not q nte half a degree below the ?veta?e of 119 ygM?. fhe raiii uiei?iurtd it G:-eeiiivicii Wa?, 7.1inc h e.?, or iieariy rain measured at Greenwich w?? 7.7 inches, or neariy half an inch more than the averse of 7.)ye.t?.

In the second q;ia:ter of the rate was nearly the same, but the six f-licwis rates were 14 P, 15 9, 15 2, 14.5, 14 0, and 11 losper- tively a better marriage rate, a i-iwrr birth rate. 911d a very low death rate, ti.u-j appear as the pmcjnal feature of the present return. In the three months that ended on 30:h September last there were 514 births (namely, 2W boys, aud 26)0\ girls), and 214 d- atiis registered in the district "or Union of Wrexh-un, the latter t-.td occurring against an average of 217, taken from the three previous responding quarters. 'IVre were 51 deaths rec eded v,-Hre. < l t i -?t h ?r?c?   j of infants under one, and sixty of persons age! W and ul)wards-. 'Ihpre were fifteen death* rsitister^d in public institutions, 15 wore enquired into hefor- trie coroner, and nine were due to vi ilence. The deaths referred to the ciiirf zymotic di-eases were m-'asiss G, scarlet fever 1, il.pht'neria 1, whooping c: ugn 2, fever 2, and diarrheai 7. It is satisfactory to nute that the deaths fio!ii all causes scarcely reachcd tiie average (f the season, but on the other increase is to be seen in the number of dev-us by zymotic diseases. Must (,f -11..Y be roughly described as of an unimportant •.•harae- ter; 6 deaths by measles, 2 by whooping cou^h. and 7 by diarrhoea comiug under this description. Exempt- in,, tiieso cases, then, there were only four serious of zymotic disease, namely, 1 of scarlet ftver, Inf diphtheria, and 2 of fever. The local re tarns give 42 births and 23 deaths for Holt sub-distri.jt, the latter being 3 over the average. Fever and diarrhea', each caused 1. In the Ruabon sub-district there were 131 bitths and only 45 deaths, or 33 !e,i! tliati the average. Scailet fever, measles, and diarrl oei each caused 2. In Wrexham sub-district the births were :141, and the deaths 146, or Ð less than the average of the third quaiter in three years.

Tiers were 77 deaths inquired into before the coroner, and 61 were due to violence, that is to say, they were chiefly fatal accidents. The returns are most excellent concerning the causes of death, the only fatal cases of zymotic diseases being measles 13. scarlet fever 14, 40, arising from a population of 4G2.110 at the laet census. Except in the Ruthin dist ict, where the diphtheria 5, whooping com;h 21, fever 20, and diarrhea deaths from all causes slightly exceeded the average, the Denbighshire returns are highly satisfactory, the deaths in Wrexham, St. A';a,h. and LI-trrwiit dl-zcicta being far below the average. Diarrheas is the us-.ial fatal disease of the zymotic claas in the September quarter, but in North Wales singularly few deaths were thus ascribed. "3 ?

THE NEW MAYOR.—At a private meetinjr of the Liberal members of the Town Council, on Tuea,?ay, Alderman Charles Brown, who has already been three times chief magistrate, was selected to fill the office of Mayor, and Mr John Jones, of St. Oswald's Ward, was chosen as sheriff. CYNWYD. LAZAAR.—Last week a bazaar was held to liq-iidaii the deht on the echool building. The building was prettily and tastefully decorated, and the receipts for the tirst three days amounted to 2120. There were drapery, fancy, and toy stalls, and stalls for pictures, pottery, ironmongery, agricultural produce, and re- freshments; an art gallery, magic compass, fishing pond, and letter post. Amongst those who took nart in the opening ceremonies were the Mayor of Pwllheli and Mr Owen Edwards, Chisleliurst, Kent. The bazaar was to have been opened on the Wednesday by Mr G. W. Taylor, who, unfortunately was detained in London. MARCHWIEL.
