To keep black stockings from cracking soak a few hours in warm water, with a handful A coarse sait in the water. Some house- keepers prefer to pat a teaspoonful of ground black pepper into the water in which they are rinsed. Xaits which have been removed from the wall frequently leave unsightly holes which it is not always convenient to conceal with a picture or bracket. The best method of I hiding them is with either putty, plaster of paris, or a paste made of sawdust and glue. When dry. cover the filling with paint to I match the paper. It is a common practice in Berlin for the wife to stay at home when the husband and family go to the seaside. In this way the wife enjoys her own holiday. For there is no housekeep- ing to be done: she foregathers with friends —"grass widows," likt herself—and they take their meals at restaurants, spend their after- noons and evenings at popular places of enter- tainment. and thoroughly enjoy themselves. Salt water will not injure even the most lensitive skin, so women :aeed have no fear of .aking "headers." especially when wearing he regulation bathing cap. Many things are preserved by salt, and the complexion is one If them. Salt has been recently extolled as ..he elixir of life by one school of observers, and condemned as a cause of cancer by mother.

Then allow it to rise, and after that bake in tins in a moderate oven for three-quarters of an hour. Persian Stew One pound and a half of beefsteak, two onions, butter, green peas. and salt. Fry the onions in the butter, cut the ateak in pieces and fry slightly, add the peas and salt; let them all stew together in about a pint of water till the meat is nearly dry. taking care that it does not burn. Serve with a border of rice round the meat and chutney sauce. "r- Sweet Omelette Three eggs. one tablespoonfal of sherry, one tahlespoonful of flour. Beat up the eggs very lightly. Mix the flour to a very smooth paste with the sherry, then carefully stir the eggs into the batter, rub the omelette pan over with butter, and pour in all the mixture.

Charley Short: What do you think of the theory advanced by a scientist that soda-water and ice-cream are injurious to thecom- plexion ?' Dolly Summers: I think it's a", nonsense. Why married women haven't any better com- plexions than giria have. Mamma: You wicked little girl to say that the poor cat has eaten the jam, when I can scftht stains of it all on your face!

RESCUE BY THE RODDAM
RESCUE BY THE RODDAM VESSEL ARRIVES AT CARDIFF DOCKS. The Bteunjship Roddam, which haa earned fame a-s being the only vessel that escaped from the fiery deluge that overwhelmed St. Pierre, a few months ago, arrived at Cardiff at midnight on Sunday, and entered the East Bute Dock. The vessel was from Delfzul. in Holland, and whilst off Prawle Point on Satnr- day afternoon had the misfortune to be in collision with the sohwmer Janet Worthing- ton. the crew of which were rescued and landed at Falmouth a few hours later. The Roddam is now commanded by Gaptain Fox, and looks little the worse ior her ordeal. Only one person of those on board on that occasion are now upon her-the chief engineer, Mr. Pyle, who was at the time second engineer. and took the place of the chief, who succumbed to the injuries received. Mr. Pyle confirm the thrilling stories told of the adventures of thi vessel when making her escape, and has recovered from all the ill-effects that ensued. Captain Fox declined courteously, but firmly. to give any information respecting the mishap with the. schooner, beyond the fact that the [crew were safely landed at Falmouth.
AN EXTRAORDINARY FREAK
AN EXTRAORDINARY FREAK OLD MAX SUBSISTS FOR FOUR- TEEN DAYS ON WATER. James Brown, aged 82 years, of Penmoel- terrace, Woodcroft, Tidenham. has given an example of his capability to subsist for a lengthened period without food and without artificial nutrition. The old man, who was decrepit with ago and in a feeble state of mind, was missing from his home since the 25th of July last, and all means of finding him appeared futile, and every hope of seeing him again alive was abandoned. On Friday, August 9. however, a man named George Morgan, employed on Llanquillan Farm. was going through Llanquillan Wood when he saw a peculiar beaten path from a brook running through the wood which excited his curiosity, and he traced it for about 40 or 50 yards to some blackberry bushes. What he saw resulted in his giving information to the police at Chepstow. In the evening Police-constable Grove, accompanied by Police-constable Reed, visited Llanquillan Wood. There they saw the missing man Brown sitting on the butt of an oak tree in the middle of the wood resting his head on his knees, and in a very weak, emaciated, and feeble condition. From what he told the police he had had no food since he had left home. fourteen days previously, and the only thing that had passsd his lips was water from the brook. to which his journeys had made a regular path. Hard by was his lair," which was constructed in a thicket of blackberry bushes out of sticks and twigs covered with ferns. The hut-like con- trivance wa,s Ion? enough to cover him. and about a couple of feet high inside, and the floor was bedded with fern, entrance only being obtainable by crawling in. The nearest human habitation was about a mile away. Brown was partly carried to Llan- quillan Farm, where Mrs. Brown gave him some tea. and brandy and a little food. He was driven home in a conveyance to his residence at Woodcroft, and restored to his friends.
WELSH VOLUNTEER CAMP
WELSH VOLUNTEER CAMP FINAL MOVEMENTS ON SALISBURY PLAIN. SPORTS, CONCERTS, AND PACKING UP FOR HOME. Saturday was, comparatively speaking, an easy day, and the officers and men thoroughly deserved a rest. It can safely be said that a hard week's work has been completed, and the enthusiasm thrown into the work is worthy of a greater reward than was meted out. Our represeutative chatted with a cavalryman, who said that Volunteers needed work badly, for when they undergo the work they do it for the pleasure of it. The only Welsh corps left on Saturday were the "A" and "B" Battalions 3rd V.B. Welsh Regiment, and they paraded at eleven to fire a feu-de-joie, which was very creditably done, after which the regiment gave three cheers for the King. taking the time from the brigadier. Colonel J. O. Quirk. D.S.O. A wire was received to the effect that the Coronation had been successfully completed, and during the next two hours the regiment was busy celebrating the event. Some attempts had been made at decorating the camp. and the cyclist section are worthy of commenda- tion for the very artistic manner in which their lines were adorned. A nice array of >flags ..and artificial. flowers, gave the line a very effective appearance. The dragon was visible floating over several tents, whilst the Union Jack was seen, floating on the breeze. here suspended to a broom handle and there fastened to the top of the tent with a bootlace. For originality and diversity of design the decorations were unique, and, though under difficulties, the Union Jack floated nowhere over a more loyal and patriotic lot of men. "God save the King!" could be heard loud and long, and the toast was drunk under great difficulties. The occupants of one, tent could be seen handing round an ordinary basin, whilst at the end of a line a company whose thirst equalled their loyalty drank de«p'JArid loTig from an ordinary bucket. The Welsh Brigade has ranked as the most popu- lar on the Plain, and where a smoking con- cert was held in any other brigade there wera a. few Welshmen gathered together to uphold the reputation of Gwalia as a land of song. It is satisfactory to know that General Plumer was highly pleased with the work of the Welsh Brigade, and that he selected them to perform a forced march on Thursday, which is undeniable proof of his belief in their abilities. A high authority 011 military matters stated that they were well set up and an intelligent lot of men. On Saturday afternoon the regimental sports were held. The weather was fine, and the men thoroughly enjoyed the sports pro- vided for them. The brigadier was present, and was evidently well pleased, as he is a rare believer in plenty of work and plenty of play. Major and Adjutant Orlebar and Captain and Adjutant Boger performed the duties of starters to the satisfaction of all concerned. Sergeant-instructor Leary and Sergeant-instructor Lawlcr acted as joint sec- retaries. assisted by a capable committee. The following are the results:- Tug of War.—1st, Pentre; 2nd. Taffs Well. 120 Yards Flat Race.—1st. Lance-corporal Reynish, Monntain Ash; 2nd, Private Shep- nard. Aberdare. Three-legged Race.—1st. Private Collis and Private Mustin, Cardiff; 2nd, Sergeant Samuel and Corporal Samuel. Taff's Well. Obstacle Race.—1st. Private Nash, Cardiff; 2nd. Private D. Davies, Cardiff; 3rd, Private Lloyd, Aberdare. Cycle (Slow) Race.—1st, Cyclist Idris Jones; 2nd, Cyclist Baugh. Cardiff. Wheelbarrow Race.—1st. Private dams, Dow- iaie; 2nd, Private Cork, Dowlais. Sergeants' Race (a start of lyd. allotted for each year's service).-18t, Sergeant Sonthey, Merthyr; 2nd, Sergeant Geo. Williams, Cardiff; 3rd. Sergeant .Wilcox..Cardiff.. Band Race.—1st, Bandsman Mustin, Cardilf; 2nd, Bandsman B. Jones, Cardiff. Bucket Race (each competitor to carry a bucket filled with water on his head).—1st, Bugler Adams; 2nd, Private D. Lloyd. Sack Race.—1st. Bugler Williams; 2nd, Bandsman C. Chambers, Cardiff. Hurdle Race.—1st, Private Nash, Cardiff; 2nd, Private D. Williams. Aberdare. Officers' Race (conditions the same as in sergeants' race).—1st, Captain and Adjutant Boger, Cardiff; 2nd, Lieutenant Lewis. Aber- dare; 3rd. Lieutenant H. N. Lewis, Cardiff. The prizes were distributed by Surgeon- colonel Jones. A very gratifying feature of the sports was that all the available officers were present and. without exemption, took great interest in the undertaking. The officers very magnanimously provider a splen- did lot of prizes, and gave all the assistance they could to make the affair reach the pitch of excellence that can be acquired when officers and men work harmoniously together. On Friday night a very successful concert was given in the sergeants' mess, when visitors from East and West Down Camps were nume- rous. The section of the Cardiff Band as Welsh Highlanders and the singing by a male voice party composed of sergeants were features that are worthy of mention for the high pitch of excellence that was reached. A member of a well-known London corps stated that a standing joke in their camp was "to go and see the goats." but that when they arrived they found that the joke was approaching reality, only the visitors were the goats. The 3rd Welsh was astir at four a.m. on Sunday, and the men were busy packing up. Breakfast was served at six, and by eight a.m. the camp was clear, all the tents having been returned to stores and the camp left scrupu- lously clean, as required. Only the tents of the fatigue men where left, and on Sunday the Plain presented a very different scene to what it did a week ago. It was very amusing to watch the men picbng up used matches, pieces of string, and bits of straw. They all entered into the affair with a light heart, and by nine they were on their way to Lavington. The march out was accomplished in excellent style, and the inhabitants of the little village have reason to be proud of the fact that on Sunday they witnessed one of the most effi- cient and. without doubt, the finest march ing regiment on the Plain this year. In spite of the variable weather, the health of the men has been excellent, and though, probably, too much was attempted in the time at dis- posal. officers and men were given good lessons of what would be required of them in actual warfare. It is to be hoped that when men sacrifice time and money to undergo the work they have performed during the last week the Government will be more kindly dis- posed towards the Volunteer force in the future than it has been in the past. RETURN OF THE ABERDARE MEN. The Aberdare Welsh Infantrymen ("A" Battalion) returned home from West Down camp. Salisbury Plain, shortly after four o'clock on Sunday afternoon. They were met at the railway station by the Volunteers' band. which headed them to the Armoury, where they separated. Save that they were Romewhat sunburnt, both the officers and men seemed none the worse for the hard work which they had put in during their v.eek's stay under canvas. Printed by the r^oDrietors.

CARDIFF MQSEIi YACHT CLUB.
CARDIFF MQSEIi YACHT CLUB. The eighteenth race of the above-named club took place on the Roath Park lake on Satur- day afternoon. A nice breeze from the north- west prevailed during the whole of the race, and middle suits were carried. This being Coronation Day. the race was appropriately called the Coronation Race. Xine boats assembled at the pitching at the lower end of the lake, namely:—Doris. 50;?in.: Dodger. 52in.; Zenita and Thistle, 521in.; Muriel and Coronation. Gc-fin.; Sybarita. 54Jin.; Mar- guerite, 54iin.; and Kindly Light, 55in. A start was made at 5.55 p.m.. with a handicap time allowance of twenty seconds per inch water-line. A splendid start was effected. On arriving at the windward buoys Doris rounded first with Marguerite second, and Muriel third. On the downward journey each com- petitor handled his boat a treat, and the result of this round was—Marguerite, Syba- rita, Coronation, Doris, and Dodger run- ning a dead heat. On the return to wind- ward for the second lap Marguerite had by this time worked into a good position, with Sybarita and Muriel following, which posi- [ tions they kept through this round. On the turn up against wind Marguerite sailed in grand form—wind, sails, and everything s<J3med to favour her. and the greatest exe'te- ment prevailed on the banks as to how she would finish on turning the weather-mark. Marguerite's sheet being adjusted for the run- down was followed by Sybarita, Coronation. and Muriel.
