It was practically out before the arrival of the Fire Brigade. There was no one in the house when the fire occurred. The damage done is estima- ted at about JB15. This is the second outbreak of fire in the house since Mr Pugh has been in occupation, but the first was of a very slight nature.

ABERAMAN.
ABERAMAN. SARON (C.). The Rev. Tom Jones, Pontrhyl, who occupied the pulpit of the above church on Sunday last, preached a most impressive sermon on the words in Exodus xxx. 3. The rev. gentleman dealt upon God's method of revealing himself to man and the con- ditions. Whenever man broke the law he had to bear the consequences. Man must prepare himself for revelation by ascending the mountain. It was a lone- ly path, and he must ascend alone. Every nation must have a Moses.

All lovers of artistic dancing should direct their steps this week to witness the per- formance of Dolly Phyllis, comedienne and wooden shoe dancer, at the local hall. In the dancing world she holds a high reputation, whilst in the musical world a distinguished position is main- tained. The pictures are par excellence, including "Salt Lake City," "The Stickle Back," "Hunting Stags," "Red Gold of the Forest," all of which are worthy of the notice of school-children. In the film, "Old Songa and Memories," a pathetic remembrance of Home, Sweet Home is portrayed. Outlaw's Sacrifice" and "Bar K Foreman" are stirring films of Western drama; whilst in Soldier's Duty and Thread of Industry" extraordinary pathos is portrayed. The struggle for supremacy in engineering is well shown in "Rival Engineers." The films, entitled "Convict's Dream,"

In a first-class programme selected are some thrilling sc-enes and incidents of the recent riots which took place at Johannesburg. This picture was taken on the actual spot, by Messrs Gaumont. the world-renowned topical picture producers. Tremendous local interest is taken in this picture owing to so many of our readers having served with the colours in South Africa during the Boer War. The picture shows the charging of the rioters by the Cavalry, the looting of the shops, and barricaded streets guarded by the military. A visit to Haggar's this week-end will be well re-paid.

Adjudicator, Mr Angus Holden, Ashton-under-Lyne. The bandmaster (Mr Charles Hall) and the bandsmen are to be congratulated on their successes during the last ten months. As the president said it is a record to be proud of to come first, when such bands as Cwmaman, Trede- gar Workmen's, Mountain Ash Volun- teer, Tonypandy Hibernian, McLaren's Workmen's, Mountain Ash Hibernian, and the Plymouth Workmen's were in the contest. The following prizes have been won by the above band:—At Aber- tysswg, Class C., 1st prize and cup; at Aberaman, Class B., 2nd prize; at Treorchy, Class B., 1st prize and the above prize. The shield was presented by Mr A. T. Elliott, of Messrs Borsey and Co., London. ACCIDENT. On Monday night, about 9 o'clock, 35 empty coal wagons ran wild down the Ladv Windsor Colliery Siding, dashing through the gate and against the stop block inside the safety points. One wagon was forced the stop-block, and two wagons fell on the Taff Vale Railway, causing some delay of traffic. For- tunately, the Ynysvbwl 8.45 p.m. motor car had then just left the New Road platform. The car was full of passengers, and had it not left there might have been a great sacrifice of human life. Mr Merriman, signal- man, phoned up to the stationmaster, who was soon on the spot. Passengers had to leave the down car at the New Road platform, and walk down the line and enter another car which was sent up from Pontypridd. Mr E. Jones, agent, and Mr M. J. John, manager, Ocean Colliery, arrived on the spot as soon as they heard of the accident. They superintended the clearing, and had the colliery locomotive at the top end of the wagons to pull them back into the siding. With the assistance .of the T.V.R. breakdown gang, all was clear and the roads ready for traffic by 3 a.m. Eight wagons were badly damaged. It is hoped that the person or persons who interfered with the brakes of the wagons will be found out, and severely punighed.
--------LOST MEMORY.
LOST MEMORY. Miskin CirJ's Strange Wanderings to Penarth. The seventeen-year-old domestic, Annie Smith, of Miskin, Mountain Ash,. who has been lying in an unconscious condition at the King Edward VII. Hospital, Cardiff, since last Thursday", had by Tuesday partly recovered con- sciousness, and was able to converse with those around her. It will be recollected she was in the employ of Mr. J. M. Rose, an artist, of Newport, and on Thursday was found lying unconscious at the foot of the steps leading from the church into Church Avenue at Penarth by Mr. A. J. Hearne. She was then attended by Dr. Williams, who had her removed to the hospital suffering from concussion of the brain. The girl was interviewed on Tuesday. She was in a very weak state, and could throw no further light upon her unfor- tunate accident. Asked how she got to Penarth, the girl said she had no idea, as she remem- bered nothing which preceded the acci- dent or afterwards. All she could re- collect was falling down some steps in the vicinity of the church. She had learnt from her relatives that she had been home last week, but of this, too. she had no R ecollection—her mind being a complete blank. She was closely questioned as to her movements, but she adhered to her story that she could remember nothing.

MEMS. FROM THE MOUNT.
MEMS. FROM THE MOUNT. What a happy camp at Abercwm- boi. The Tybwbach Hill rings with merry laughter the whole day through. Mr Percy Griffiths teaches the boys the full meaning of fresh air. I understand that the new hall for the Y.M.C.A. is nearing completion, and that the scouts will not be ham- pered for room any more. Mr. Harry Allen, of Philadelphia, has been paying a visit to Mountain Ash. It will be remembered he gave a splendid report of Glyndwr's famous concert which took place in the Quaker City. Mr. Allen was de- lighted to renew his acquaintance with many of the boys, but Glyndwr was away Nationalizing at Aber- gavenny. The hot weather has been respon- sible for many curious things, but none more so than the phenomenon of dust blowing off the canal.

A WONDERFUL APPARATUS. The human body has a wonderful power of keeping warm. A whole apparatus of nerves and tiny muscles and glands are set aside for the sole purpose of regulating the temperature. Heat is not allowed to escape from the body in hot weather, and, on the other hand, heat is retained inside the body in cold weather. This apparatus is of more value than six layers of flannel. Nothing keeps up the temperature of the body like muscular exercise. The muscles are like furnaces, which blaze up when they are worked, and only smoulder when at rest. It is, therefore, when one is sitting down in the open air or standing still that the heat of the body is produced slowly, while it is being carried off quickly by the breezes in the open air. Chills are caught by riding on the top of the omnibus with- out a coat, by standing still watching a football match or by motoring. It is then that thick clothes are absolutely necessary. They keep the heat in.
NO TIGHT CLOTHING.
NO TIGHT CLOTHING. The early spring is the season for chills. The sunshine looks tempting, but the evenings and nights are very cold. I would rather spend my money on a thick overcoat than on thick under- clothing. Clothing should never be tight. Tight corsets, tight boots, tight gloves, tight collars are all taboo. I sometimes see mothers having quite a struggle to get the baby's garments on because they are so tight. The blood- vessels, be it remembered, are very soft and compressible; they are not rigid and built to withstand pressure. Hence the circulation of the part is impeded by anything tight, such as a garter. If the toes do not get the benefit of a full supply of good fresh blood they suffer for it. Ladies' fashions are not governed 'by hygiene or common-sense, iijut I do give a sigh of relief when fashion dictates that garments should be worn loose.
WAR ON THE FLY.
WAR ON THE FLY. The medical officers of health have had their attention turned for the last few years to the serious question of flies. These pests appear everywhere. In the house, in the shops, on the meat, in the milk, on the baby's face, in baby's food, on manure heaps, and in the larder, the fly is to be found. The fly settles on something horrible in the streets, and then flies on to the tea-table. I am anxious to enlist the help of the people in exterminating, or, at any rate, diminishing the numbers of these insects. To get at the root of the matter, the breeding-grounds of the flies should be attacked; it is not enough to kill the fully-grown fly. Manure-heaps, rubbish heaps of any sort, and dirty places in general are the sources of disease spread by flies. Can you improve your backyard ? Is there a useless rubbish heap belonging to you which you could clear away? Can you assist by sprinkling the place with disinfectant? Can you agitate to get a foul place made clean. In the house everything possible should be done by fly-papers, by covering the food with muslin and by not allowing scraps of food to lie about in exposed places to at- tract the flies. Microbes we cannot see, and they are difficult to catch, but flies we can see. .1

"SCANDALIZING HER CHARACTER."
"SCANDALIZING HER CHARAC- TER." Ann Morris was summoned by Mabel Pearce, 59 Park Street, Penrhiwceiber, for using indecent language. Complainant was represented by Mr. S. Shipton. Mr. W. Thomas defended. Complainant stated she was going to the back of her garden, when defendant threatened to poison her dog. She then called her a prostitute and many other bad names. Cross-examined by Mr. Thomas: Her husband had not been summoned in the poilce court for living on her earnings. She was sure. She didn't know George Jones, 56 Park Street, and she didn't say to him that she was sorry that she had summoned Mrs. Morris. Mrs. Morris was scandalizing her character. Mary Ann Moore, 63 Park Street, heard Mrs Morris call Mrs Pearce a prostitute, and also heard her say that she had men in her house at all hours of the night. Captain Evans: This is a case of slander, and the wrong summons has been issued. Both sides agreed to be bound over, and this course was accordingly adopted. THEFTS BY SCHOOL CHILDREN. Albert Williams, Oliver Williams, Daniel Semens, Frederick Watts, An- eurin Jones, John Owen Jones were charged with breaking and entering the Ynvsboeth School, and stealing various books, toys, etc., the property of the Mountain Ash Education Committee. Richard Scrivens, Frederick Watts, Richard Watts, and John Williams, fathers of the children, were also charged with receiving the stolen pro- perty.—Mr H. P. Linton prosecuted for the Education Committee. P.C. David Thomas, from information received, went to Ynvsboeth School. He there saw Mrs Lewis, the caretaker, and she pointed out that the windows of the school had been forced. He then went to Watts' house, 12 Avondale Street; to Scriven's house, 13 Avondale Street, and to Jones' house, 9 Avondale Street. Witness found many of the stolen articles in the houses of these defendants. David Thomas, clerk to the Director, stated that the value of the articles stolen was about 5s. The Bench decided not to proceed with the charge of receiving the goods against the fathers of the children. Each of the children were fined -61, this being joined with the parents.

A WORD ABOUT CLOTHES.
A WORD ABOUT CLOTHES. Much has been written on the sub- ject of clothing. Some advocate light clothing, some heavy, but in the end we shall have to leave the decision with the individual. The amount of cloth- ing worn is largely a matter of in- dividual habit. If a man has been accustomed to wear thin clothing he will probably be able to withstand the variations of the weather as well as another. The man who starts wearing thick clothing is under the compulsion of keeping* to the same garment; if he one day leaves off a garment or two before the warm weather has really set in he runs the risk of a chill. It is commoner to find men "wearing too much than too little. A multitude of flannel garments is not the protection that is so commonly believed. Besides, he who wears thick garments at all times is not able to put on anything extra when a cold snap sets in.
GROWTH OF INSANITY.
GROWTH OF INSANITY. I have just 'been reading the annual report of an asylum for the insane for one of the large counties-I shall not tell you which. The first point I notice is that the accommodation is not sufficient, and that the Medical Super- intendent is asking for more room. That is a sad reflection on modern times, -the asylums are full to overflowing and more accommodation is needed. About a quarter of the admissions dur- ing the year were old patients re-ad- mitted—that is, relapse cases. It fre- quently happens that the relatives of the patient are over-anxious to take him out, and they do so before the cure is complete; the result is that a relapse occurs. So long as the patient is under proper care and shielded from the wor- ries of the world he improves, but as soon as he is plunged back into the whirlpool of modern existence he is beaten down again. It is mistaken kindness to remove the patient at the earliest possible moment. Give him time. <
I.---Aberdare Empire.
I. Aberdare Empire. The one present aim of Mr Norton, the popular and enterprising manager of the Empire, is to place before his audiences a programme that will sur- pass all previous programmes. His de- sire also is to edify as well as to amuse, to teach as well as to entertain. The pictures, especially, are the pick of the market. The little Empire will very soon be too small to hold the large numbers that attend. This week's pro- gramme is one of exceptional interest. The chief place is taken by the Dayton Family, who are twelve in number. This is a very interesting turn, and they are daring performers.. They have toured all over the world, visiting the Empire, Alhambra, and Crystal Palace, London; Follies Burgere, Paris; Wintergerton, Berlin; Kursall, Lucerne, and Hamerstein's Roof Garden Theatre, New York. Dora Campbell, in illus- trated songs, including "I love another," takes very well. The three Spanish Armadas, the sensational tight wire performers, are indeed clever and daring; their balancing is truly great. Louise Dot contributes to the pro- gramme as comedienne and acrobatic dancer. An extra turn is also staged this week. The chief amongst the pic- tures is The Scapegrace." The or- chestral overture is Berliner Luft n (Linke).
HIRWAIN.
Bachelor's Bride," Calino, Station- master," are simply worth witnessing themselves, as a good laugh is surely to follow. In this week's Gaumont Graphic, a photograph of Mr Jack Johnson and his wife is shown. He is cheered lustily by the J crowded houses each evening. Hirwainites should not fail to pay a visit.
