Colliery Timber Models EXAMINED BY JUDGE BRYN ROBERTS. The hearing was resumed at Pontypridd County Court on Tuesday, before Judge Roberts, of an action by \V. Richards, collier, Clydach Vale. against the Cambrian Colliery Company. Mr A. T. James (Messrs Morgan, Bruce and Nicholas) represented the plaintiff, and Mr C. Kenshole was for the respondents. Messrs D. Watts Morgan and Tom Evans were present on behalf of the Rhondda district of miners. The sum involved was only a small one, but the case was being fought owing to the important principle which was involved. The whole point was as to how far workmen were entitled to use their own discretion in putting their working places into a proper con- dition for them to work in. Plaintiff's case was that he worked in the Red Vein seam, and owing to the unsafe condi- tion of the roof he put up double timbers," which ) would render the roof safer than the flat timber, which he was instructed to put up by the officials of the colliery. I The respondents contended that the work- ng-place was not generally unsafe, and that the double timber was ussd solely for the pur- pose of obtaining the extra pay as between Is Id for flats and Is 4id for the double. When the latter kind of timber was really necessary the plaintiff had been paid the larger amount. Mr A. T. James intimated to his Honour that his clients had erected outside the court a pair of" double timbers." and invited his Honour to inspect, them. Mr Kenshole added that he had models of the different kinds of timber used, and his Honour intimated that thase would suffice for his purpose. The models were then handed Up and explained by witnesses. His Honour said that the question for him to decide was whether there was substantial danger to the collier if the flat timber was put up. The work- man was bound to obey the lawful direction of the master or the master's agent except when the order might place him under im- minent or extraordinary risk.. His Honour gave an award in favour of the defendants, holding that the plaintiff had failed to establish his case that he would be running unnecessary risk if he carried out the instructions of the officials.

Fashion and Things Feminine. By IDA MELLER. A Pretty Style for CJoth. The coming oi summer, although responsible for bringing out special displays of mualins, lawns, and other thin fabrics, has not by any mean3 relegated cloths to the background. Never, surely, has cloths for dress fashions been more popular than at the moment, nor is any material better suited to the making of the most fashionable styles of the day—I refer, of course, to the princess gowns, tight-fitting and plain, and the high corselet skirts that require a fairly substantial yet soft and pliable mat- erial, moulding itself readily to the figure, if they are to be seen at their best. The thinner materials are, naturally, not so weU adapted to tight-fitting effects. A simple, pretty style for a cloth dress is shown in the full-length figures sketched on this page. The dress is made from five yards of grey-blue cloth, and is cut with the high corse- let, skirt, and short, folded bodice stitched to the corselet, the front of the skirt running up as a panel, trimmed with black satin buttons. The sleeves are arranged in folds to the elbows. and a.re there met by under-sleeves of spotted net, matching the vest, and a little shield of embroidered cloth peeps above the corselet in front. The back of the dress repeats the effect of the front, and the fastening can be arranged at either place, along one silo of the panel. The front fastening is, of course, far more conve- nient to the woman who is, perforce, her own maid. Dyed Net Dinner Blouses. The net blouse almost takes precedence of the lace one this season, so popular has it become, the newest fancy being the blouse of coloured, spotted net, dyefd to any of the fashionable colours to match cloth and silk dresses. The corselet skirt and princess sleeveless gown,find pretty accompaniments in the dyed net blouse, which looks particularly dainty in pale grey and very smart in brown. For dinner blouses grey, pale blue, pink and rose-colour are much affected, and a; favourite fashion in which net blouses are made up is with a pleated "water-fall" careering down the greater part of the front, and attached with a little bow to the high collar-band above. The spotted net dinner blouse sketched' illus- trates a leading mode of the moment, and is made up with a few pleats on the side-fronts and tucks to the long sleeres, these being. fin- ished with little frills of net, A coquille" of pleated net trims the front. Although dyed net blouses in fairly bright or deep colours are newer than those o/white and cream net, these latter are still regarded as in- dispensable, in a way, to the complete ward- robe. Prettiest of all are the French nets with large raised wafer-spots that show up well on an under-slip of cheap satin. The satin founda- tion is no more expensive than the silk one, but gives a far richer appearance to a net or fine lace-overslip. Few things are more becoming to the skin than the sheen of satin, and, if care- fully washed, the fabric need not lose its brilli- ance. The Summer Fireplace. The fireplace in summer, without a fire, can be made to look quite as cheerful as in winter, when it blazes with the glow from log and coal. The prettiest effect at, this season is brought about by massing up the grate and hearth with flowers and ferns in pots; but the draught from the chimnev causes flowers to perish soon, and to prolong their life, therefore, it is better to close up the grate and put the flowers in the hearth only, shutting iff the empty grate with a screen of Japanese paper or a mirror or using cretonne or tapestry curtains instead. The summer fireplace illustrated is treated in this way-that is, with pot flowers in front and a background of green crinkled paper, such as can be bought for a penny the piece. It takes two pieces for the purpose, and these are ar- ranged as flounces, one below the other, gat- hered and stitched to a sheet of cardboard, fitting the front of the fireplace. In our sketch the mantelpiece is covered with a lincrusta paper, this having been done in the original scheme with the object of concealing a discoloured marble mantelpiece. The plan answered admirably. The paper, a white one with a conventional, raised design, was cut in lengths to fit the sides and top of the mantel- piece and was put on with strong, thick paste —an operation that neeeded great care. After- wards, the paper was given a coat of ivory enamel paint, and looked beautiful, A simpler way to improve an ugly mantel- piece is to paint it black, when this agrees, of course, with surrounding decorations. Worth Knowing. The ring that a cleaning fluid generally leaves on a delicate fabric will usually entirely dis- appear if the material is held in the steam from a kettle for a few minutes. If the cleaning fluid used has been of a readily inflammable nature, the material must, on no account, be held near the fire or an open flame of any sort. Remove the kettle from the stove, in such cases, take off the lid, and hold the stain over the open neck of the kettle until the mark has disappeared. Mayonnaise Sauce. Mayonnaise sauce is another salad dressing that is much appreciated, and is delicious used as a mask to cold cod or other boiled fish. To make it. take the yolks of two or more eggs, and beat them up with half a teaspoonful of dry mustard, a large pinch of salt, and a tea- spoonful of sugar. Add salad oil, drop by drop, stirring all the time with a spoon, till the mix- ture is almost like a ball, and comes away from the sides of the basin as you stir. Then thin gradually with vinegar,. The stirring throughout must. only be in one direction.
Fruit and Vegetables.

I Among the innumerable duties which now demand tho gardener's attention, none is more important than watering. Hot sunshine quickly removes the god effect of a shower. The importance of inulchin, as much as possible cannot be exaggerated. Fruit and Vegetables. Endive seed should be sown broadcast, or in drills half an inch deep and six inches apart. Shade Cucumbers from hot sun and admit plenty of air on fine days. Nip off the points of shoots bearing fruit at the second joint beyond. Give plants bearing freely liberal dosas of liquid manure occasionally. The earthing up of Potatoes should be early attended to. When the earth is moist is the best condition in which to do the work. Do not make the ridge too fine and wedge-like on the top, but leae it wide shouldered on both sides, so as to catch and conduct rain direct to the roots. If the plants do not seem to be doing as well as they might be, or are at all backward or sickly looking, sprinkle a little nitrate of soda, or a mixture of sulphate of ammonia and salt, between the rows before earthing-up, but do not exceed two pounds of the former to the square rod. It is best to cut all the shoots on Asparagus beds, and not merely the strongest. If the weak shoots are allowed to grow they seed before the others, and so weaken them. Cut- ting should cease^not later than the middle of June, so as to give the plants plenty of time to mature their growth. Carrots should be thinned before they crowd one another excessively. They are often left to grow exactly as they "come up until the thin- nings arc large enough to use. But this may result in spoiling them all. If they have not enough space to grow, some thinning should be done at once. Thin onions promptly. When large bulbs are wanted give from six to eight inches between each bulb for smaller bulbs allow half the space. Keep the boe freauently at work to keep weeds in check, and the surface permeable. In moist weather applica^jon3 of soot is bene- ficial to the crop as a manure and a preventive of injury from Onion maggot. Commence to summer prune Gooseberries and Red and White Currants. Leave one strong young shoot at the extremity of each branch to extend the size of the tree, and shorten all others to within an inch of their base. It may be necessary if the trees are sparsely furnished with branches to leave more than one young shoot to each branch to ensure a good-shaped tree. Shorten these shoots to four inches. The caterpillars of the Codlin Moth will now be commencing to ascend Apple-trees, and where this pest is at all troublesome means must be taken to effect its extermination. One of the best methods of accomplishing this is to wind some hay bands tightly round the trees,and once a week, or less, to push or pull these up and down alternately, examining them at the same time, and picking off all insects found, while others that have got underneath will be crushed. Bands formed of old sacking, carpets, or the like, will answer the same purpose just as well. The bands should be put on at once. The Flower Garden. The hardening of bedding plants should be a gradual process. If they are placed in a frame the lights can be taken off altogether during the day, except in cold or very wet weather, and if the conditions are favourable they need not be quite closed, even at night. When plants are gradually hardened off in this way they grow far more satisfactorily than they do when they have undergone no preparation. A sudden change from a warm greenhouse to the open air is bound to check growth. Give Sweet Peas a liberal application of liquid manure. If the soil be dry, give it a good soaking with clear water first. Paint the interiors of greenhouses. Most of the contents may be placed out of doors for the time being; Ferns and other more delicate subjects remove to another greenhouse or to a cold frame. The Hollyhock is a particularly moisture- loving subject at this season of the year and, unless abundantly supplied with water, and nourishment at the root, will quickly develop its disfiguring disease. Should this appear, pick off the worst affected leaves and burn them; dust the rest well with lime and sulphur (mixed), and give two or three waterings of a solution cf nitrate of soda.

A mulch of stable manure, cow-dung, and dead leaves, or even the grass cut from lawns, if placed on the soil about shrubs of import- ance, is a great help to them. Even the soil from the rot of rubbish heap which form a part of most gardens is better than no mulch of any •i" Tn SOTne districts spent hops or tan are available, and ths may be used. Plants kept in pots for some time become what is known as pot-bounl thy have such a mass of roots that when water is given it does not pass through them, but runs away at the sides between the pots and the roots. T he best thing to do in this case is to immerse the pots in a tub of water for a few minutes then take them out, and let them drain for an hour or two before being planted out. Plants put out dry at the roots will soon fail. Wallflower seeds should now be sown, and seedlings be treated and grown as hardily as possible. It is a common practice to sow the seeds in July and August, and even later, with the result that the young plants are weakly. Such plants only possess one main shoot which bears poor flowers, and very weakly ones from the central stem, which do not bear any blossoms. The early-raised ones form sturdy bushes with side shoots much stronger, than the main stems of the late-raised speci- mens, and the flowers are large also. To obtain such good results the cultivator should sow the seeds in an open border of fairly good soil, +vT-e'i ancl afterwards made firm. Sow thinly in shallow drills, give water te prevent undue dryness, and keep down all weeds. 1 ransplant young seedlings when th(-y are nearly two inches high in a well-prepared bed, also made firm. Put out the young plants in rows one foot apart, and six or seven inches from plant to plant in the rows. Peonies. These splendid flowers were not very long ago onlv to be seen in old-fashioned gardens, but lately they have received a large amount of attention. New. varieties appear with increa- sing frequency, and now there is a very long list of them, from which a fine selection can be made. In planting Peonies a square yard should be allowed each plant; they should be covered with well-rotted manure every winter, and have a good mulching of the same every spring. In dry springs a good soaking of manure water should be giren once or twice a week, while the buds are swelling. In light soil Peonies, according to Amateur Gardening," sometimes take several years to establish themselves before flowering, but if they are well fed they come on much quicker, and they are always a delight, for beside the red spring foliage and the summer flowers, the Chinese sorts go a delicious bronze colour in autumn, fu times the foliage looks well, But if they are shy of blooming and their buds shriy e remember that they are gross feeders, and give them more and more manure.

FRACTUREL) SKULL. The resumed inquest on the body of Mrs Margaret Aspey, which was exhumed on Friday morning, took place at Spennymoor on Tuesday. The death occurred on May 17th, and a medical certificate was given to the effect that death was due to cerebral hemorrhage.. Dr. Farquharson, who conducted the post- mortem in company with Dr. Wardle, stated that discolouration of the deceased's right eye led him to the opinion that there had been an injury to it during life. The cause of death was fracture of the skull. Dr. Wardle stated in evidence that one fracture was caused by something of a pro- truding nature. The Coroner By a blunt instrument, or a blow from the fist ?—Witness Yee. Evidence having been given to the effect that on May 15th about 10.45 p.m. a neighbour heard deceased and her husband quarrelling, and subsequently saw her with her right eye discoloured and mouth bleeding, which her husband attributed to her havingfallen down- stairs while he was asleep. The Coroner said the evidence was by no means clear. Th«* only person who could have used violence was the deceased s husband, and if the jury considered he had used violence they would have to say he was guilty of manslaughter. The evidence, however, was altogether circumstantial. The jury found Death was 'due to a fractured skull," but expressed the opinion that there was not sufficient evidence to show how it came about.

ERUPTIONS SORE FEET. 1 IIr ir. Mrs and her of ( hom a P/;OtOg1 alii.) I. Ferndale Family prove Zam-Buk to be a Sure, Safe, and Ever-Ready Healer. Mrs Humphreys, 61, Regent-street, Ferndale, S. Wales, writes "We have derived great benefit in our family from Zam-Buk. Two of my children had big horrid eruptions on different parts of the body: particularly the head. The children were con- stantly scratching these irritable eruptions, with the result that they burst and mattered. I tried several ordinary ointments, but was finally obliged to give them all up. as the eruptions were spreading. I then got a supply of Zam-Buk and from the first applications the children improved, and were soon quite rid of every erup- tion. They both have nice healthy skins now, thanks to Zam-Buk. Another of my children, a boy aged nine, had sores on his feet and ankles, caused by tight boots. They were so painful that the boy could scarcely hobble about. Zam-Buk again soothed the boy's inflamed feet, and healed the sores with a new skin. I myself have also derived great benefit from Zam-Buk. I had a, lot of pimples on the back of my neck, which smarted and itched constantly, and prevented me getting much sleep Zam-Buk took all the pain and irritation away and cleared every pimple from my skin. I think we have every reason to feel grateful to Zam-Buk after the great benefits we have derived."

Levies for M.P.s. THE SOUTH WALES DISSIDENT. In the Chancery Division on Tuesday (before Mr Justice Swinfen Eady) an application was renewed to expedite the trial of the action in which Tom Jones, a member of the South Wales Miners' Federation, seeks to restrain the officiaJs of that body from making a levy on its members for the payment of members of Parliament. I His Lordship Can there be any practical advantage gained by advancing this action now, before the case of Osborne v. The Amal- gamated Society of Railway Servants in the House of Lords I When judgment is given in that case there will be no difficulty in fixing a day for the hearing. Mr Macnaughten (for the plaintiff): The difficulty is the levy is being made. His Lordship How much have you to pay ? Mr Macnaughten Only 6d, but the result Will be if the levy is not stopped that a large sum will be collected. Mr Upjohn (for the Miners' Federation): You must not say that this is new. It has been going on for five years. Mr Macnaughten If my friend will give an undertaking not to proceed with the levy until the House of Lords has disposed of the Osborne case, I shall be satisfied. His Lordship Something of that kind ought to be done. Mr Uojohn: I have no instructions as to that, but I may mention that a member is not out of ompliance until he has failed to make four payments. His Lordship Do you threaten to distri- bute the money, or do you intend to keep it intact ? Mr Upjohn The money goes to the Central Society, which is not before this court. His Lordship So that the money may be parted with and not got back. I do not intend to expose the plaintiff to that risk. At any rate, some interim order ought to be made until the Osborne case has been disposed of. Mr Upjohn: Am I to intimate that view to my clents T His Lordship: My view is that Mr Mac- naughten's client is entitled to be protected. You may mention it again and there may be a case made out for advancing the hearing, or adopting some other course. Mr Upjohn My friend will know the result as eoon as I do. Mr Macnaughten And if I do not get a satisfactory answer, what then ? His Lordship You may renew your appli- cation. Mr Upjohn My friend must wait for about a week. Mr Macnaughten: Yes. Are your Labour leaders still in Germany ? (Laughter.) Mr Upjohn shook his head.
