I The locals were at Ruabon last Saturday playing the Druids in the Combination, and from all accounts the game was a very evenly contested one. From the start the Druids monopolised matter?, forcing fruit- less corners. Owens eventually scored magnificently for the Druids. Rhyl after this reverse wakened up and were all over their opponents but they had no luck, and try as they may they could not score. Final result: Druids 1, Rhyl o. 00000 WHITCHURCH v. WREXHAM. In the Semi-final of the above com- petition played at. Chester before a tre- mendous crowd, the game resulted in a draw cne goal each. 00000 THE VICS BEAT BUCKLE Y. The Vies last Saturday were at home to Buckley in the Flintshire League, and be. fore the game had been in progress very long it was plain to be seen that the Vies were the better side. On the other hand Buckley tested the home defence on several occasions, but could not break through. The Vies transferred the play to the other end and had hard lines on more than one II occasion. But before the interval scored twice. Tn the second half the locals scored three and Buckley 2. Final: Vies 5 goals, Buckley 2. 00000 I To-morrow (Saturday), Rhyl play Nant" wich in the Combination, and as the Cheshire men are the only team to defeat Chester, the probable champions, we can safely look forward to a good game. 00000 RHYL VICS v. LLANRWST. The nnal tie in the North Wales Junior Cup Competition will take place at Colwyn Bay, on the 23rd March, between Llan. rwst and Rhyl Vies. The Llanrwst team are a much heavier team than the Vies, and will want a good deal of shaking off, the Vies will have to go all the way to I win right from the start. Play the game, keep cool, play to win, and no doubt your efforts will be rewarded. 00000 I THE CHAMPIONSHIP. The Vies have now their eyes on the championship of the North Wales Coast Junior League, as they have only ONE more game to play. This will be the second time in succession they have held the cup, and I only hope they will also bring home the cup from Colwyn Bay. 00000 Morgan-Owen, captain of the famous Corinthian team, whilst playing against Newcastle United last Saturday in the final tie of the Sheriff of London Charity Shield, played a grand game for his side at I centre-half, but unfortunately he strained the muscles of his right leg, and then it was all U P., and the Corinthians tried a big change in their formation, Hunt going centre-half, Mclver left half, and Morgan- Owen right outside, and Young right in- side. The change proved disastrous, for Newcastle afterwards scored 4 goals, and won 5 to 2. 00000 It is rumoured that Tommy Roberts the Rhyl forward, has been reinstated and intends signing as an amateur for the Vies for next season. 010 memor7 13 1bad> Perhaps, but I can tell you two secrets that will cure the worst fprpsfpj" Th^' a sukject when in- terested The other is, not only to read, but think. When you have read a paragraph or a page, stop, close the book, and try to remem- ber the ideas on that page, and not only recall them vaguely in your mind, but put them into words and speak them out. Faithfully follow these two rules, and you have the keys of know- ledge. Besides inattentive reading, there are other things injurious to memory. One is the ha £ >it of skimming over newspapers all in a confused jumble, never to be thought of again. thus diligently cultivating a habit of careles3 reading hard to break. Another is the reading of trashy novels. Nothing is so'fatal to read- ing with profit as the habit of running through story after story and forgetting them as soon as read. I know a grey-haired woman, a life- long lover of books, who sadly declares that her mind has been ruined by such reading. Men of mind rarely are captivated by a face merely very beautiful, but what it represents or what they imagine it does. Woe be to the beauty who has no better capital than her face. With it she can allure someone into marrying her, but if he married for an intel- lectual companion, he is likely to prove the mo.t disappointed and indifferent of husbands on discovering the fraud. The world will never g-t over its old belief that a fair face is the index to graces slightly veiled, and ready to, be revealed when the right to know is gained In nursery rhymes, in fairy tales, and the average novel the beautiful heroine is always lovely, and so, in spite of adverse experience, the world will ever expect wisdom and truth from red lips, till they say too much-tih the red lips themselves prove the contrary. Then come the anger and disgust which men ever visit upon those who deceive and disappoint them. Beauty is a dainty and exquisite vesti- bule to a temple, but when the worshipper is beguiled into entering only to find a stony and "nisshapen idol and a dingy shrine, this doea ..ot conduce to future devotion.—E. P. Roe.
--------St. Asaph.
St. Asaph. THE ELWY BRIDGE. At Wednesday's meeting of the County Council the following resolution was re- ceived from the St Asaph Parish Council The St Asaph Council beg to draw the attention of the Flintshire County Council to the condition cf the footpaths on each side of the road leading over the Elwy Bridge, St. Asaph. That the same are paved with stones taken from the river bed, which are very uneven, and conse- quently uncomfortable to walk upon. The County Council respectfully request that the County Council will give instruc- tions that the same be paved with fire bricks that the County Council have not expended any money for some years on the footpaths in St Asaph, and when the paths in High Street were improved, part of the cost was contributed by the inhabi- tants of St As-iph." It was decided to defer the matter for the present. DRAINS AT ST ASAPH. On Wednesday, at a meeting of the County Council, it was reported that a letter had been received from Messrs Masters and Rogers, solicitors, Liverpool, on behalf of the Rev R Wilson Jones, with reference to their client's complaint concerning the grids and drains which he considered injured his property. It was resolved to refer the matter to Col Howard and Dr Easterby as a sub-committee to repprt upon. — o

The report, which was of a ¡ fairly satisfactory character was read by the secretary, Mr John Hughes, town clerk. Addresses were delivered by the Rev H E Griffiths, M.

ITheft from the Rhyl Council.
Theft from the Rhyl Council. Strictures on Employees. I ————— ) At a special court yesterday afternoon, an Italian named Louis Gizzie, aged about 25, of 46, Victoria Road, Rhyl, was charged before Mr J H Ellis and Dr Moreton Prichard, with stealing 27lbs of copper and 5 2lbs of lead belonging to the Council. His brother Camille, who lives at Mold, was charged with receiving it knowing it to be stolen. A dark complexioned young woman watched the case with pained in- terest from the back of the court. P.C. Fred Jones, of Mold, said he saw the two prisoners making their way in the direction of a marine stores in Mold, with the metal in their possession. As a result of enquiries he made when their replies were unsatisfactory, he found that the material was missing from the Rhyl Council. Mr Wright, electrical engineer to the Rhyl Council, identified the metal as being part of some missing from the electrical committees stolk. It was taken from a job the men were engaged at. He was unaware that it had been taken until the police enquiries were made. In reply to the bench Mr Wright said the material was supposed to be locked up at night or left in a place of safety. As a rule a night watchman was lett in charge of unfinished jobs, but the one in question was only a small one. He understood a tarpaulin was covering the metal. Iuspector Paarson said there was a tar- I paulin there when he visited the job. The prisoner Louis gave evidence exon- erating his brother to blame. In the course of a lengthy statement he explained that he was practically in want of food and in a semi-desperate condition. He had to pass the place where the metal was, and day after day he saw it lying unclaimed and unprotected, and supposed it was of no value to its owners. He took some last Tuesday week, and the rest on the follow- ing day, and as it did not seem to be missed by Monday he took it to Mold, where he tnougbt he would get a better price for them than at Rhyl. His only reason for taking it, he said, was to get his intended wife (he indicated the dark lady at the back of the court) a pedlar's certificate, and to get a start to live a different life than he had been living. When he got to Mold his brother took him and his intended wife in and provided them with supper and breakfast. His brother knew nothing about the metal and was only with him when the officer came upon them because he was going that way. The Chairman said the younger prisoner would be discharged, and in consequence of the temptations to which he had been exposed to, the other prisoner would be j let off with a month's imprisonment with hard jlabour. The Bench desired to express C the opinion that there had been gross care- lessness on the part of the Council's work- men and they trusted proper steps would J be taken to prevent such a temptation being placed in people's o§o — J

During the last fortnight there has been a good deal of sicsness amongst children and young people, several from the Phoenix works being amongst the victims. It is of a mild type, and so far there have been no complications. The changeable and severe cold winds are supposed to be the cause. THE ELECTIONS. Peace has taken the place of war in the matter of the Election of the Parish Council, and there will be no poll. On the score of expense this is a matter for gratification for the majority of the rate- payers had more than a philosophic doubt as to whether the benefits of government by Parish Council is worth the expense of a contest. For the three seats on the St Asaph Rural Council there are six contest- ants Messrs W C Bell, William Morris, Thos Hughes, LI B Evans, R Drummond, and LI Lloyd. To avoid a poll for the Parish Council, Messrs ,Wm Morris, Wm Davies, John Edwards, John Jones and Edward Jones have withdrawn their nom- inations. FOOTPATHS. At Wednesday's meeting of the County Council the clerk read a letter which had been addressed to the County Council from the Rhuddlan Parish Council complaining about the condition of the footpaths, and which had been referred to this committee for consideration. The Inspector stated that he did not consider the Parish Council, had any grounds for complaint. He pointed out that the main road opposite the new houses was too narrow to have a kerbed and channelled footpath, the owners having built their boundary wall to the centre of the quicksets, and suggested that in all cases where the owners of property did not allow sufficient space for a footpath of at least six feet in width, neither kerbs nor channels should be provided. The Council agreed with the observations of the inspector-, and it was resolved that the whole question be deferred for the present. -to!}-

It is of a particularly handsome design. It will be used in the demonstration on Good Friday. VISIT OF A SOUTH WALES MISSIONER. A five days' gospel mission was opened in the Boy's Brigade Hall on Thursday evening. The missioner is Mr T Welch, a ivell-known South Wales evangelist, who tias been in close touch with Mr Evan Roberts in South Wales? P.S.A. The Chairman at the meeting of the P.S.A. Society, last Sunday afternoon, was Mr Pritchard, The Grove, and an earnest address on "Clean your slates," was given by the Rev J Pandy Williams. The rev- erend gentleman emphasised the impor tance of self-examination and the elimina- tion of every undesireable habit or tendency revealed, and the fostering of every virtuous inclination. Solos were contri- buted by Miss Owen, and Thomas Henry Jones. During the meeting it was an- nounced that the society was making a special effort to assist the local nursing ) fund. ENGLISH BAPTIST SOCIAL. A very enjoyable evening was spent by a large gathering, the guests of the young ladies of the chapel, in the lecture-room of the English Baptist Chapel on Thursday evening.

Miss Mabel Hu ghes accompanied.
SOMETHING FOR YOUNG FOLKS.
SOMETHING FOR YOUNG FOLKS. THE GREEN. HAIRED DOLL. "Have you ever seen a doll with green hair?" isked grandpa. Molly looked up at him with very round, wide- open eyes. "Green hair! Why, no, grandpa! Have you ever seen one?" "Yes. A doll with no body arA yreen hair." Mollie put down her bo'lwe'e. doll, Amelia Gertrude, and, slipping from rer chair to th-s floor, she came and put her little hand in grand- pa'a. and said, coaxin;y, Do tell ipe all about it." v Oh. I saw it to-day in a window; and if you run and bring your hat and coat I'll tako you to see it too." Away ran Mollie; and in a few minutes she returned, breathless with excitement; for who ever heard of such a thing as a doll with green hair and no bodv! Grandpa helped her to put on the hat and coat and warm gloves. and then his hat and coat and stick were found, and hand-in-hand the two started to walk down the street. Suddenly grandpa stopped at a window, and said, "There they are." And there on a shelf stood two dolls' ho aw] 3 without any body; large hN!.d, with laughing lips and smiling eyes, but there was no green hair. W^y, grandpa, th<we doHs are bald." said Mollie. "as bald a&vs--you,' I she added in a disappointed tone. Grandpa laughed. "They have sold the one with green hair, but 1 think we can g-row some hair on the doll's head moro easily titan on mine. We will go in and sec." So together they went in, and grandpa bought one of the heads. "Look! Look!" whispered Mollie. "There is a hole at the top. What is that lor?" Ah! So there is. Well, we will buy a paper with instructions, and a little packet of seed, and grow the hair ourselves." laughed grandpa. And the doll's head and a tiny packet were dono up in paper, and he paid for both. This was all very mysterious to Mollie. Why. grandpa, who ever heard of hair seed? It will never grow, will it?" Wait and see, little one," was the answer." When they reached home grandpa poured some water in the hole and filled the head with it. Then he damped the bald head all over, and scattered some seed from his tiny packet; and then moistened the place where the eye- brows should be, and sprinkled more seed. "Oh! What a funny-looking doll!" cried Mollie. It is not much like green hair, though." Have patience! answered grandpa. flair grows slowly I will attend to it." All that day Mollie kept thinking of the doll-, but after a time she forgot; and then one day grandpa called her. and there on the table stood the doll's head, with its laughing face, and from every tiny seed there was a little bright greet% blade of grass. Mollie laughed, and clapped her hands. "Oh, grandpa! The hair has grown, and the green eyebrows too, and the doll is laughing be- cause its hair is such a funny colour." And she wanted to tell all her little friends about it, and shew it to them. about it, and shew it to them. "Why, grandpa," she said, "if I sprinkle the seed on my head, will green hair come?" Oh, no," replied grandpa. Only bald dolls need green grass to cover their heeds. Little girls like you have something mur'h prettier. Be very glad you have all those yellow curls to cover yours." A LETTER FROM CATLAND SCHOOL. My dear mamma, it's getting time, I sent you off a line. But first of all, I don't think much of this new school of mine. The food is poor as poor can be-for lunch I had a sprat; A pretty dish, as one may say, to set before a cat! We never have a taste of cream, not even for a treat; You wouldn't like the xnousie pie they give us here to eat. Our teachers pack us off to bed as soon as work is done, And so we never get a chance to have a bit of fun. There's one thing I must say of them, they teach us very well; I've learnt that two and two make five, and how to read and snoll. -I Just. notice how I write my name—I've got a lovely pen. With love and Visses, I remain, vours, K. I. T. E. N." < BASKET FISIT. At its marine residence, away down in deep water, the name on the door pliti would be "Astrophyton." and it belongs U 8a species called Ophiurans. It has a well-marked control disk, not unlike a clnm, but has no shell. From this central body radiate arms, five in number, like those of the familiar starfish, and these arms are divided into minute branches like the twigs on a tree, until thev number in some cases a thousand separately defined hairlike tendrils. While the body is not large, the branches,, when extended, measure about eigh- teen inches in diameter. The creature has the power of incurling these branches until it closely resembles a shallow dish. This it does when caught and about to die, remaining in that shape when dried. Sfclt has been given the name of basket fish; it frequently (when caught by a dredge—for that is the only way it can be taken) throws off these arms or parts of them, so that a perfect specimen is hard to be procured in its stural condition. '1'he<;o arms and their sub- divisions are almost white when dried, and closely rwemble plaster of Paris. They are very brittle, easily broken, and cannot be re- paired. The fish live among the roots of sea weed*, and are supposed to feed upon these, moving about by wriggling and clambering with theae arms, o;- fastening upon the roots and )ullin- themselves along. Most of the know- %dge regarding their habits is conjecture, for none have been taken alive and kept for suffi- eient time to give them proper examination and study, j BEDTIME.

Va Indian story that has been handed down md is still believed by many Indian tribes is )ne about the transformation G4 leaves into &irds. Long years ago, when the world wmt ?oung, the Great Spirit went about the eartli making it beautiful. Whereve? his feet touched. :he ground lovely trees and Sowers sprang up. ALII summer the trees wore their short green Iresses. The leaves were very happy, and they tang their sweet songs to the breeze as it passed :hem. One day the wind tol'l them the time would come when they would have to fall from the trees and die. This made the leaves feel very sad, but they tried to be bright and do th best they could so as not to make the mother trees unhappy. But at last the time came, and they let go of the twigs and branches and flut- tered to the ground. They lay perfectly quiet. not able to move except as the wind would lift It them. The Great Spirit saw them and thought they $ were so lovely that he did not want to see them die, but live and be beautiful for ever, so he, gave each bright leaf a pair of wings and power to fly. Then he called them his birds." From the red and brown leaves of the oak came tlia robins, and yellow birds from the yellow willow leaves, and from bright maple leaves he mado the red birds; the brown leases became wrens. sparrows, and other brown birds. This is why the birds love the trees and always go to them to build their nests and look for-food and shade. A KEW GAME. It was Saturday morning, and the twins stood hand in hand, looking sorrowfully out of tha window. '< J'6 £ °.'n £ ram' with a sob said Sue. It s raining now! with a wail said Lou. Then together they said, Wh",t shall we do?" u Now big Brother Hugh was home from col. lege on a vacation, and when he saw how dis- appointed his little sisters were at staying in for the -rain he said, "Come here, girls! I've a brand new game for you. Here are some paper f/id pencils. Who lives next door? "Mr. Brown," answered the girls, in unison. l "You are right. What kind of a complexiod hirs Mr. Brown? Is it brown?" 4 "No," said Sue, "he is pale." "'He's very pale," said Lou. Then write on your papers Mr. Brown is very white. Now we'll sit round this table an,t put on our thinking-caps, and in imagination We'll go all round this town &ad pick out all the people '/iat have colours for names, and we'll see: •low many oome right."

You both know Mr. Savage: there never was a genUer, kinde* man. Now I am gomg to leave you. In an honr come uo to mv room and shew me what you have written." The two girls had an exciting time. In imagi- nation they tmvelled all over town, and visited every one they knew. Then they consulted the papers and the dictionry, as reminders. Their mother saw them and wondered what made' them so industrious. Best of all, thev were happy and never once thought of the rain outside v?6 ?nd of tlle hour Sue produced and read the following paper: "This is a strange town, for moot of the people in it are named wrong, but I am very, u most of them are better than their names. • The three nicest people I know are wrongly earned. My dear teacher. Miss Stearn, is always gentle. My Sunday-school teacher, Miss bang's, is quiet, and Mr. Savage is the tamest man in town. I know a whole famiiy of Bachelors, and they are all married. Mr. Beach lives in the woods, and Mr. Woods lives near the beach. Mr. Elder is about twenty years old, and Mr. Young ia seventy-five. Mr. Day works at night. Mr. Long is a. short man, and Mr. Lowe is 6ft. tall. "I have heard of Bartlett pears and Baldwin apples, but in this town Mr. Bartlett grows apples and Mr. Baldwin pears. Mr. Carpenter is a mason, and Mr. Mason is a carpenter. The Butlers and Carters and Millers and Potters don t do anything for a living, and the Kings have to work like slaves. Mrs. Walker has ft carriage, and Mrs. Rvder never has had a car- riage, but has to walk. If all these people had their names changed .e shouldn't know them any better, for we know, them now in spite of their names, because namea do not coant, after all." When Brother Hugh read that last sentence, he said: "Sue, you are quite a little phikx Bopher, and you have quite a long list, too. It's true, any way," said Sue. „ Then Hugh smiled at the twelve-year-old girl in his superior wisdom of twenty years, and pkck Seeded to read Lou's pa:
