Thanksgiving Day, though not exactly a na- tional institution as in the United States, is ob- served generally throughout Wales, and is dis- tinguished much more as a holy day than the harvest festival which is its counterpart in England. The denominations (says the Man- chester Guardian ") still hold their services se- parately, and the custom used to be for each body to consult its own convenience in the mat- ter of date. Of late, however, the tendency has been to agree on a day suitable to the gen- eral convenience, when work can be suspended and schools and shops closed together. The services—plain, democratic prayer-meetings in the case of the Welsh denominations, the lay element being usually the more prominent—are, as a rule, the best attended of the year. Only in the Church of England and among some of the English Nonconformist bodies is the cus- tom of decorating the chyrches and chapels with wheatsheaves and other symbols of the harvest observed.

The Chancellor's Cottage. OBJECTION TO MR. LLOYD GEORGE'S CLAIM TO A VOTE. At the Criccieth Registration Court on Friday Mr. M. E. Nee, for the Conservatives, objected to the claim of Mr Lloyd George for a vote as the occupier of a cottage and land at Criccieth known as Paraau Bach. Mr. Lloyd George's new bungalow is being- built on the land. Mr. William George (the Chancellor's brother) who represented the Liberals, said that Mr Lloyd George had put in a declaration that he was in occupation. Mr. Nee submitted that the Chancellor was not the occupier. It was true that he had furni- ture there, but he had not resided there, nor could it be argued that the cottage was a store room, since Mr. Lloyd George had now no residence within seven miles of Criccieth. His. residence was II, Downing-street. Mr. IVilliam George: And Parciau Bach. He added that Mr. Lloyd George had resided at Llys Owen, Criccieth, up to last May. He had previously taken possession, of Paroiau Bach, where he had furniture and a bed, and ht would probably have been there before now but for his Parliamentary duties. Moreover, he had not exceeded! the period of absence allowed by the Electoral Disabilities Removal Act. Mr. Nee There m<ust be an abode. It cannot be suggested that this little bit of a hut is the Chancellor's home. Mr. William George said it was not a hut. Mr. Nee: Well, cottage, then. The gross rental is only £8 a year. The Revising Barrister (Mr. Latham) All the objection is that the poor man has changed Ms house. (Laughter.) Surely the Chancellor of the Exchequer is entitled to change his resi- dence? I don't look at ri, Downing-street, as anybodly's residence. It is merely a temporary abode, and I don't think that vou will find that there is a vote in respect of it. The Revising Barrister overruled this and two other objections and allowed the vote.

Poor Men's Houses. BETTER TERMS ASKED FROM WELSH LANDLORDS. WHEN LEASES LAPSE. An interesting discussion on the housing question took place at a special meeting of the Festiniog Urban Council, remarkable statements being made with reference to conditions locally. The matter arose out of a resolution moved by Mr. Cadwaladr Roberts to the effect that no plan of new houses be sanctioned by the Council unless built on land of freehold tenure. Mr. Roberts said that the bulk of the houses in the district were built on the leasehold system, and when their freehold was purchased the useless land on which they stood went up to £ 2,000 an acre. Clubs have now sold their houses in the district for less than what they paid for their freehold eight years ago. The houses erected by the labour- and the sweat of the brows of poor quarrymen had to be handed over, equal to new, to the landlords on the expiration of their leases, and all the produce of the labour and anxiety would go clean and free to the landlords' pockets. They ought as a public authority to put an end to such a system by refusing to sanction the erection of houses on leaseholds. There was plenty of suitable building land to be had for from £ 60 to £ 70 an acre. It might be said that his motion was not legal, but he proposed it all the same in order to see who there were in the Council in sympathy with the oppressed workmen of the district. Mr. E. Lloyd Powell seconded the motion. In reply to points raised during the discussion, the Clerk (Mr. R. O. Davies), said that in such cases, if a man was determined to build on a certain site, and they refused to sanction his plans solely on account of the site not being a freehold tenure, he could apply for a mandamus to compel them to pass his plans. Mr. John Cadwaladr: Our great need as a district is to have better terms in the granting of new leases and renewing old ones. Mr. Richard Jones held that by passing the motion before them they would be playing to the hands of certain landlords in the district who could sell land. The leasehold system was their great oppression and curse. They should have better terms from landlords and lawyers. The resolution was declared carried, although only six voted for it. Afterwards it was rescinded. The Clerk was asked to draw out a resolution appealing to the landlords of the district to grant new leases and renew existing onts on most favourable and reasonable terms possible, because unreasonable terms militated against the pros- perity of the district. The motion was passed unanimously, and the Clerk was requested to send a copy of it to each local landlord direct, and apart from their agents.

Schooling and Future Career. MR. W. GEORGE'S PLAN. At a spscial meeting of the Portmadoc Inter- mediate School Governors on Friday night, Mr. W. George submitted the following two resolutions:- 1) The Governors are of opinion that steps ought to be taken as early as possible in the child's school life to ascertain what calling or profession he intends going in for, and that that child's training from that time forth should be directed as far as possible towards adapting the child for that particular calling." (2) That with the view of fostering a spirit of emulation in the children a roll of honour of distinguished pupils be set up in school, and that every effort should be made to assist the pupils in deciding upon and securing future careers." His idea was that any pupil who did well in school or after leaving school should be put on the roll of honour. He was anxious to cultivate a spirit of emulation and esprit do corps. He should also like to see the school a greater means of the developement of the social side of the child's nature.—The motion was seconded by Alderman J. Jones Morris, and carried unanimously.

No woman's education should be considered complete until she possesses the qualifications required for efficient discharge of domestic duties and household management.—Miss Eliza- I beth Tytler in the National Review."
