SHAKESPEARE AND ST. GEORGE. On Tuesday a few red roe were con- spicuously displayed by ladies and gentle- men in Wales; but comparatively few of those noted the, fact would connect them with St. George's Day and the birth- day of Shakespeare. We iu Wales are very familiar with the Leek and St. David's Day, with the celebration of St. Patrick and the wearing of the Shamrock. Scots- men in Wales celebrate very prominently Burns' Day, but honour to the patron saint of England and Shakespeare is some- thing new. It is a custom rapidly extend- ing in popularity and observance, as well it should. The great day in the English calendar was honoured in quiet and be- coming fashion on Tuesday. The centre of the festivities is of coarse in Stratford, the very heart and centre of England, where bells were pealed, meetings and merry- making held, and a three weeks' Shake- speare festival inaugurated at the Memo- rial Theatre. All the leading actors of the day will take part in the performance of Shakespearean and old English plays. The celebration is strong on the intellectual side, and celebrants will Jock to Stratford- oo-Avon, the birthplace of Shakespeare, from all parts of the Old World and the New. The Americans yield to none in their enthusiasm for Shake3peare, as Stratford in its memorials clearly shows. The practice of honouring the national day of England is growingj for London had her services and gatherings and displays. The white ensign was hoisted over city build- ing3, white and red roses were displayed in abundance at Covent Garden, and the English favours found many wearers. The festival of St. George and the birth- day of Shakespeare was honoured in ban- quets and celebrated by speeches where many old-Ume customs of the feast were kept up. A service was also held in the city, whilst at Stratford the pretcy custom of decorating the poet's gra.ve with flowers attracted more than usual interest. In many an English town the immortal memory of Shakespeare" was proposed. Northumberland Fusiliers, stationed at Aldershot, kept the day in fitting style, decorated with roses red and roses white, whilst again in London Mr Tree corn. menced a Shakespeare revival. It is good to find England awakening to the expres- sion of national sentiment, and doing fit- ting honour to the greatest poet of all peoples and all times.

WEATHER LORE. February Fill Dyke brought its usual quantity of rain-in fact, a record amount of rainfall, and March followed true to its character, and gave us more than the pro verbial peck of dust which the wisdom of folklore pronoances worth more than a king's ransom. April came in smiling, but it has not been a month of smiles and ta.rs. There has been an abundance of I sunshine, of genial summer weather, inter. mixed by periods of cold winds, but very 1 little rain. April showers have been notably absent, and a great cry has gone forth for rain. Indeed, in some districts prayers for rain have been asked for and given, and still the month promises to go out one of the driest on record. This is bad for the farmers and the gardeners, who are crying aloud for the needed showers. The wisdom of the old farmer is forgotten I in the present condition of things. The wise farmer never grumbled about the weather. When it was wet he cqnsiiered it good for the roots and went on with his work smiling. As the dry weather came in he held that it was good for the crops, and what did not suit in one direction I was welcome in another, and he was happy. According to the weather and flower lore there will be a poor display of blossoms, but it should be good for the hay The sloe is white on the hedges, and the farmer will sow his barley and wheat whether it be dry or wet. There are rhymes and sayings to cover all pos- sible conditions of the weather all round the year, and the present April has been exceptional in the absence of showers, bat prolific in its sunshine and summer wea- ther. Was there ever a more gorgeously tine Eastertide than the one that is just psst from the point of view of the holiday- maker ?

-> Dr. Macnamara, M.P., questions whether ¡be Bishops who are engaged in such a ;remcndou3 onslaught on the Education proposals of the.Government have read the Bill. Only on the assumption that they have not taken the trouble to read it is it possible to understand all the statements that have been made with so much vehemence and so little discretion. Words seem to be losing their meanings as used by the Bishops. But not all the Bishops are lost in denunciations of the Education Bill. The Bishop of Carlisle was telling hi3 hearers at a a; issionary meeting that to teach the heathen the dignity of labour by instructing him in manual industries was one of the first duties of missionaries. Ho then went on to denocmce the idle rich, observing that" there are a good many heathen at home who could learn with advantage, for both rich and poor need this teaching." We might learn much from the Jews, according to thia prelate of the Church of England. The happiness of England of to-day and the England of the future depends on the extent to which it uses its hands in dignified and useful Alas, this is a sternly practical age. The present generation has no patience with time-honoured customs. The Wales of to- day is a very different place from the Wales of yesterday, where interferenc with individuals is concerned. At the times of weddings and at fair days the populace, or such portion of it as choose to be playful, might take great liberties with individuals in extorting largesse. Bat it is so no longer. You may not rope in a wedding party with impunity. Such bucolic entertainment for profit or fun ia no longer tolerated. The ropers are likely to be cited to appear before the magis- trates and fined, as one such individual, following an ancient custom, was tined at the Llanelly Police Court this very week. The defendant, who explained that he did not mean any harm, had stopped the progress of a wedding party by drawing a rope across the road in the expectation of toll, which was no doubt to bs spent in liquor, also according to custom. The police are determined to stop it, and though the magistrates took a lenient view of the offence they imposed half a crown and costs. Such is the fate of quaint customs. Sir Benjamin Stone should be called in to make a photographic record of the practice at the last permitted roping in, the police looking on with approval.

The South Wales and Monmouthshire Brass B tnds Association has accomplished a great work in this portion of the Principality. It has literally brought out a number of bands from the rut of the com- monplace to notoriety and success. It is still seeking to make musicians of the players by encouraging them to work for a musical scholarship. The first examina- tion was held on Saturday last, and after- wards some excellent advice was given by the examiners to bandsmen generally. Mr Rimmer, of Southport, reminded them that a few years ago brass bands in South Wales scarcely counted in competition, but to-day they had FerndaJe, Aberaman, Aber- dare and many others, of outstanding excellence. Mr David Evans, of Cardiff, in congratulating the Association on its new endeavour, mentioned that the Welsh people were musical, but insirumentally they had remained in the elementary stages. He advised more attention to theory, for without that it was impossible to make a musician. He saw in the scheme possibilities of development till they in outh Wales reached the highest stages of musical culture and excellence.

CARPENTER'S CHILDREN Cost Cardiff 1100. Richard Ainsworth (45), abip's carpeate r appeared before the Cardiff Stipendiary yesterday I charged with neglecting to maintain his wife and five children. Mr Pritchard, wartant officer to the Union, stated that the family were last I chargeable on the 21«tT)ccemb2r last, but they had practically been maintained since October, 1903, at a cost of over £ 100. Tha wife was not now chargeable. Prisoner was in couit in 1901- on a aimilax charge, bat he appealed to the Oonrt for time to pay and to remove bis children. At that time he was ou the lolanibe, bnt all that be bad paid towards tbe £ 100 waa £ 6. They were aazious to get the cbildreu oat of the Elowes which were now overcrowded, and were for orphans. The Stipendiary sentenced prisoner to ooe month's imprisonment with bard iabour, bus gave him until the afternoon to find £5, iu I which case the sentence would be withheld to give him time to find the balance.
