A Penny Packet dissolved in a pint of Celd Water makes the most delicious Lemonade you ever tasted. These Powders are made in our own Laboratory from the finest ingredients it is possible to obtain. Our Lemonade Powders a.re not to be compared with the largely advertised trashy stuff, put up in the com- monest of common bottles with gaudy coloured labels and fancy titles. If Lemonade is to yonr liking, and you wish to buy the best, yon can get it by asking for JESSE WILLIAMS', and take no other. JESSE ^yiLLIAMS' JEMONADE jpOWDERS are simply perfection. The acidifying principle is derived solely from the finest fresh Lemons, and we warrant them to contain no other acid. We meJition this fact because many of the so-called Lemon Crys- tals are acidified with a preparation of Vitriol, which, as is well known to everyone, is most injurious.

This is ft grand discovery for the cure of such complaints. It is invaluable for weak-chested men, delicate women, and children. It cures when all other reme- dies fail. It cures Coughs, Colds. Asthma, Tightness of the Chest. It cures thousands of children of Bronchitis and Whooping Cough. It cures for One TRY"IT |When Poun"s bave been spent in vain If yon have a Cough, try it; if you have a Cold, try it. It loosens the phlegm and promotes expectora- tion, produces warmth and comfort to the chest.And gives refreshing sleep when you, have lost nights of rest. A GENTLEMAN REMARKS— I feel it my duty to inform you that I have been nsing your Tudor Williams' Balsam of Honey in my family, which is a, large one for many years, and have proved its great value, having used nothing else for Cough during Measles, Whooping Cough! and Bronchitis, and can highly recommend It to all parents for such complaints. BALSAM OF HONEY AT THE ROYAL NATIONAL BAZAAR. When it was decided to have a Welsh Stall at the National Bazaar in aid of the sufferers by the War Mr D. Tudor Williams offered the hon. secretary, Arthur J. Coke, Esq., a case of Balsam of Honey, which was gratefully accepted. The Balsam found a. ready sale amongst the Royalty and nobility who patronised the-bazaar. IS SOMETHING MARVELLOUS. A BAG OF LETTERS IN EVERY DAY, and what they say about Tudor Williams' Balsam of Honey is something mavvellous. SEVERE CHRONIC BRONCHITIS, combined with Asthma and Heart Affection (8 years' standing), (sURii<D When I began with your treatment I was at my very worst. My breathing was very bad. I had to sit up in bed all night, and my cough was so hard I could not cough up any- thing. In the daytime I was worse. I used to get such fits of perspiration and afterwards turn quite cold. I was always catching fresh colds. I am now able to sleep at nights, and when I rise up in '-the morning am able to do my work with ease. Sea. View, Southport, Mas JACKSON WORTHY OF YOUR CONSIDERATION. My wife desires me to say that your TUDOh WnrMAjis' BALSAM OF HONEY has proved a most valuable medicine in our li.rge family (eight children). As soon as a cough or cold makes its appearance a dose of TUDOR'S BALSAM is at once administered, and its treatment is followed up until the cold disappears. Before using the BaijSAM in our family the children have been prostrate with colds for several weeks, but now, by taking doses as directed.^ hey seem to suffer very little inconvenience During the shore time the cold is upon them the action of the HAMAM is marvellous, and the little ones take it readily ANA ask for more.—"WALTER J BRETT, G-M.

ILLUSTRATED FASHIONS Now that we are in the thick of the holiday season there is a. chance for the juveniles to worn off some of the exuberant spirits which are apt to prove something of a trial to their seniors, ill the erection of sand castles or the joys of haymaking. Having personally taken part in this exodus from town to the seaside, I have gazed with an obser- vant eye on the various children who swarm on all aides, with a view to arriving at some sort of an idea as to what kind of clothes can be recom- mended as in every way advisable for the youngsters when occupied in the serious task of making the most of their holidays. The conclu- sion I have come to is one not merely theoretical, but is based on the appearance of a family, who are sojourning in an adjacent villa, and who number—apart from the necessary and useful complement of parents--two little girls and a bov, all under 12 years of age. I will not enter into the minute details of the boy's ontfit-whicq, however, I may state, conaists in hot weather of a fine white flannel shirt and knickers, and a shady white linen hat, along with a prettily-coloured silk tie and waist belt, and in wet or rpjny weather of a Norfolk tweed suit-but will endeavour by means of a sketch to evince to all interested mothers the simple and suitable frocks which rendered the little girls distinguished above their companions. They wore smart little sailor frocks A Sailor Frock. j of navy bine serge, lined with white braid at the hem and on the collar, if the weather was stormy or cold and when the sun shone in all its fierce- ness, and the air was warm and balmy, white duck or linen frocks trimmed with narrow, dark blue braid were substituted, in both instances accompanied by broad brimmed white SCTRW sailor bats, banded with black. Soft silk ties, either black or white, were knotted sailor fashion in front, and well-fitting fine black stockings, together with tan or white shoes, completed as nice an outfit as anyone could desire for a child. Any attempt at dressing a child in elaborate gar- menta of complicated design is a great mistake, as to my mind it appears to nmother the simple grace of childhood, and yet this is an error many mothers make, and loud their unfortunate off- spring with waving ostrich plumes, and silks and satins. Another smart style of dress for a. young girl is seen in my second sketch, and consists of a white woolleD skirt and blouse covered by a loose j A Useful Curt. sac co&t of scarlet serge with a white collar. A little red coat sucii a3 is depicted can be worn in conjunction with almost any costume whether cotton or woollen, and looks very smart fastened either by large white mother-of-pearl buttons, or those of a smaller size of bright gold. All the costumes described by me will stand a cousider- able amount of hard wetur and are not easily torn or discoloured by sea-water, the last a very impor- tant item as the joy of dabbling in water is irre- sistible to young folks. The wisest plan for children who are fond of wading, and spend most of their time on the sands spade: in hand, is to provide them with a pair of overall drawers, into which the skirt is neatly packed—or posBibly altogether discarded. Thus protected they can paddle peacefully about without detriment to any of their under garments. These drawers should be made of some rather elastic woollehn material, and present very much the appearance of boys bathing pants, with only a vory much abbre- viated portion allowed for the leg. My last sketch shows a couple of bathing suits, one for a. child end the other for its mother The little girl's dress is of blno and white stockinsrette Aquatic Equipments. I with a blue. eollttr and band, while the other cos- tume is of bright rod serge trimmed with white braid. In both instances the feet are protected by sandals which are now the most approved footgear for bathing in. To leave the requirements of the holiday makers and direct my attention to the current modes, serves only the more to impress me *ith the improvement in the vogues of the last few years. There are noexaggerationa in the fashions of to-day, and the horrors of the distortedsleeve or the unwieldly crinoline ha.ve vanished from the land, leaving the eye to rest contentedly on the graceful flowing lines and artistic combina- tions of colonla employed in the present style of dress. There ia no gainsaying the fset, that the cult of dress has attaiued to a fine art, and that even when a natural sense of what is becoming has been denied, one can always rely on the cul- tivated taste of the modiste. There is a charm- ing soupeon of the fashions of the early sixties apparent in the newest styles, but of a modified and improved kind, which excites one's admira- tion by its quaint and old-fashioned character. The short coats with their bell sleeves, and the musfaroom-like hats, carry one's mind back to come of Punch's pictures of former years. COQUETTE.

MR D. A. THOMAS'S SPEECH. TO THE JoDITO&. Sir,—Allow me to thauk the popular member for Merthyr for hi« frank and straightforward views on the Sonth African War. The Colonial Secretary keeps on saying tbat the war was inevitable." Mr Thomas truly says that the war was made inevitable by the refusal of Mr Chamberlain to accept arbitration. To everyone who has watched the attitude of tbe present Government it must be clear that tbey had only annexation in view before hostilities broke out. The case of Jezebel and Naboth is clearly illustrated in this case, and also the wolf and the lamb of Æop's fable. When Piesident Cleveland said that he would not allow this country to encroach on Venezuela the Government of this country gladly accepted arbitration. Why did it not accept arbitration in the case of the Transvaal as well ? This is a hypocricy that should not be tolerated. Mr Thomas's utterance should be printed in leaflet form and widely distributed.—I am, &i\, PRO JUSTICE.

FAMOUS WOMEN SWIMMERS, The attempt of Fraulein Walburga von lcac, the Ausi rian swimmer, to cro.?-: the Channel has naturally aroused some interest in thfl performance of ot-ht-r womptl swimmers. In Enland ib is of rt-ceut years only that women sepm to have any Jove for swim- ming. and chis may ba due in part to the popn- larity in London of he Beckwith enfeertainmeno a1; the Royal Aqtiauuni. Agnes Beekwi'h, one of the family, firsfe won fa'ne at the age of 14 by swimming fro:n London Bridge to Greenwich, a distance of miles, in one hour and eight minutes. Thh event took place on Sept. 1, 1875, and not many day- eiapseri before another youug Jady, Emily Parker, sur- passed her feat, for on the ioucth of that month she swam from London Bridge to Blackwa! about seven miles, in one hour and 35 minntes. MisB Parkor, however, was a year older than Agnes Beckwith. The Wnllenda Sisters at the Alhambra, in 1898, the talk of London during their en- g;igtviv\ent, and it will be rememb^ed that on Dec. 14 of that year one of the trio, Elil5 Wa!- 'enda, established the under-water lecord. re- maining below the suriacti for 4niin. 45iaec. The previous under- water record for a woman was made by Miss Annie Johnson, at the North Pier Pavilion, Blackpool, on Sept. 27,1889, her time being 3min. 18jsec. In the matter of diving women have not dis- tinguished themselves, though Miss Annie Laker's dives from the Aquarium roof will not yet have been forgotten. Probably the first of the tank dramas," as they have been named, was" The Siege of Gib- raltar," played at Sadler's Wells in April, 1804, when the heroine was suppose! to fRoll from the rocks into the sea, and her devoted lover dived after her.

A BOY'S DUPLICITY. At. Bromley (Kent) Petty Sessions on Mondiv Sidney Marshall Withers, a hoy residing with hiu father in Edward-road, Croydon, was charged I with obtaining four shillings by false pretences fcom Mr Frank Fichus, of Ntithurst House, Rectory-road, Beckenham. Prosecutor stated that prisoner came .to his house on the 24th July and asked hint if he would buy some masic to heln his father, who could not work. Witness gave him 4s for a song and a Grand March," and the accused said he would send the copies by Saturday. He gave his name as Withers, und said he at Fullerton-road, Croydon. As the nrnsic did not come witness wrote to the address given, and received no reply. He then gave information to the police. The Magistrates' Clerk Why did you give him 48 ?—Witness: Because I thought he was an enterprising little boy. I asked him inside my bonse, and he played the piano. (Laughter.) The Clerk Did he -ay his father was a, dealer in music?—Witness: Ho said his father bought music. Detective Carr gave evidence of arrest, and stated that the lad in reply to the ttharee said. It is not my fault; I was acting under the instructions of my father. He stood at the gates of tile bons<Js, took the money, "nd spent it. I went Co about 100 houses last week." The father arne forward and denied that he had the money, and added that his son bad brought him to a state of beggary. The Bench remanded the accused.

MADAME MELBA AND MUSICAL ASPIRANTS. Monday's Australian mail bungs a strongly- worded warning letter from Madame Melba. It has become a practice, she says, in the Australian colonies to send to England young people of both sexes who display auv sort of musical prec city. In a lamentable majority of cases these young people are the vict'ms of the ignoraut enthusiasm of their friends and relatives. They arrive in London ill-equipped both in talents and money, and in many cases fall into a sad condition of poverty and despair. Mad me Melba adds that 1>110 perBona.lIl knows some wbo arrived in Eng- land full of high hopes, but who are now de- pendent on tbe SUPDort of the charitably disposed. The Australian prima donna remarks that the blame must also be shared by London correspon- dents of the Australian Press, who send glowing accounts of the success of this or that Australian singer at a particular concert, and thus produce a misleading impression as to the ease with which the musical world can be conquered. my own knowledge such indiscriminate puffery has been applied to unfortunate aspirants whose pre- sent position is all bnt hopeless, and future in the musical art has no possibilities." Madame Melba concludes by pointingont that much of the misery might be obviated if more wisdom was brought to bear upon the selection of candidates, more care taken to ascertain that their talents were really exceptional, aud sufficient money pro- vided to carry them through the long and ardu- ous period of probation.

.=.L. THE DEAN OF WESTMINSTER. In a few days Dr. Bradley will complete his 19th year as the chief of the Capitular Body at Westminster, having been appointed to succeed the late Dean Stanley, who held tbe office for 18 years, on the 14th September, 1881- Daring the present ceDtury only one other Dean of Westminster officiated for a longer period than that already completed by Dr. Bradley, viz., Dr, John Ireland, who died in 1842, after beiDg iu harness 27 years. The two immediate successors of Dean Ireland presided over the Deaneiy only one and three years respectively. Prom the time Dr. Bradley took his M.A. degree he was a warm supporter of the late Mr W. E. Gladstone in his contested elections at Oxford University, and still remembers the keen pang which his failure in the election of 1365 coat him when the news reached him as he stopped during a long day's walk at a wavnide hostelry in North Wales During his Marlborough mastership he received every encouragement- and assistance from the preient Archbishop (Dr. Temple); he was on the closest terms of friendship with the late Pri-. mate (Dr. E. W. Benson), and for some years he was Examining Chaplain to Archbishop Tan. Dean Bradley will enter upon bis 80th year enrlv in December.

LEADING MAN IN THE SCOTCH CHURCH. Dr. Storey,tlie prinetpal of GJusgowUniversity, who has eonetitntied himself the champion of the rights of th» Presbyterian troops in India to the ue of the gamson eiiurchea for the purposes of public worship, is now quite the leading man m the Church of Scotland, He was the minister of Ro!«eneatb, m tlie west of North Country, until he became a theological professor at Glasgow, and thereafter succeeded Principal Caird 10 the prin- cipalsbiy. Dr. Storey is a personality ha was never ft popular preacher, and he did not prove a conciliatory teacher of theology. Not that he is an unreasonable degmatht, but he is a man of aii'-t ic.uUie tfvr-tes and leanings, and h ds not invtv.iab'y enter sympathetically into the mental and eocial ideas of the rngge.i type of Scottish youth which throng the benches of a Scottish theological class-room. His controversy with Dr. W lldon, the Bishop of Calcutta, has given him an opportunity of gaining a popularity with all sections of Prtsbytevianism which was never his untii a year Or two ago.

Dcteetrive Thomas Pow»ll, Y Division, saw Geurga Turner atthe Islington Cattle Markes amongst) the horse dealers. He was running a horse worth JE50 np and down, and from the difference in the price Tnrner was asking for it and its real vylnp, the defective became suspicions. He got into conversation with him. Turner asked JE15 for MJP horse. Powell asked him if he had any harness, "ad herpplied that, he had. Harness is," sahj Powell, and Turner complied, nnd prepared to ti<ke the mon-. y. Powell then w^nsod to know whethwbe was safe in making the purchase, and asked *ha vejidor if he had a receipt.. He said he bought itt.. on the stones 3(fche Islington C",tt.o Market), and had a receipt, buft nsed it to light his pipe. The name of thf man he bought it from was Smith. Further questions led to Turner using bad 'anguage, and he was afterwards charged. The had been from the stable of a builder at I?lewortb. Turner was committed for and the detective bighiy comm'sided.

At the Cardiff Stipendiary's Court on Tuesday his Worship was engaged for a considerable tine in investigating' a charge preforred against a abourer named William Coles (37). The pri. soner was brotighttip on a warrant, which cbarzed him with having some time during the, month of May halo criminally :iss;\ulted a child 12 years of ag", named Clara Gibbs, the daughter of Alfred Gibbs, shenff's officer, Frederick- street. The complainant; said that in company with another girl namoi Florrie Evans, aged llj silo met. th»> prisoner on The Hayes Bridge about 6 pm., and he took hAr under Richmond-rood Bridge. She mpt him again next day at his lodgings, and on botti these occasions he assaulted her. Florri,, Evans was also called. D- lective Scott said that on the even;ng of August I 25th the prisoner was brought to the Central Police Station by P.C. Roc i having been given into custody by Gibbs, the gitl's father. Witness took the man's name and address, and liberated him pending; farther inquiries, bob about 20 minutes afterwards the prisoner returned to com- plain of GIbbs following him about. Prisoner also produced a letter, which. he said, he had received from the girl Clara about six weeks pre- vious^, and added that he admitted having been L intimate with the complainant about a week before he had the letter. Detiecnive-Sergean: Rankin said he received the prisoner into cus- tody from the London police at King's Cro«s-road Poitcs Station on the previous day, and charged Liim with the offence specified In the warrant. In reply the prisoner said, That's right, but it was not a rape. You cannot say it was, can yon now ? It was with her consent." After hearing the evi- dence of Dr. Mullia, the Stipendiary committed the prisoner for trial at the next Assizes, to be held at Swansea.

SATURN'S ECLIPSE. On Monday night the planet Saturn underwent eclipse by the moon, and as the sky was clear the occultation wa3 observed with interest in South j Wales.

BRAIN WEARINESS. Dr. Sokal, in the Umschau," comes to the somewhat unsatisfactory conclusion that It is not yet definitely settled what weariness of the hrain imports, or of what it may be assumed to be a symptom. He insists that it must be distinguished from brain exhaustion. He exponade and criticise- the theory of the famous Turin physiologist, Pro- fessor Angelo Mosso, in his La Fatica and his L'Vomo Suite Alpi (" Man Upon the High Alps"). There is only one sort of brain weariness, says Dr, Sokal, namely, the nervous, and it; is the sequel of mental strain. But brain exhaustion may attack ns wi'hont any preceding over-acbivity of the brain. The good and bad disposition, the good bnmou-r and ill-humour, of which we often hear and speak," says he, are no caprices of the organism, but, like good and bad weather, are in all Ca.A8 to be traced back to natural causes, and frequently to some scarcely peicep^ible disturbance of the system." The pam which accompanies brain weariness, however slight, is a good angel," or rather it is the safety valve of our machine, which opens only give the signal that it is time for as to stop." Up Ig to the momeni. of this signal the ordinary man may work with comfort and security. Unfortu- nately," says Dr. Soka!, the safety valve is not equally complete in all men. and there are cases where it fails to do its proper function, or does it imperfectly." This is especially seen in persons of hysterical tendency, or of an abnormal nsrvous excitability.

AMERICA LEADS IN COAL PRODUCTION. Mr Benjamin Taylor discusses in the Septem- ber number of the Nineteenth Century the problems presented by our chief mineral product. According to his figures, Great Britain is no longer the priricipal fcoal-producing country in the world, her output last year being 220,085,000 tons against 225,000,000 tons mined in the United States, though the latter herelf consumed 221,043,000 tOll" in her own industries, while we used omv 164,277.000 tons in this way. and ex- ported 55,808,000 tons. The Royal Commission | which reported in 1871 estimated that by 1901 our total winnings would be 174,400,000, of which 162,400,000 would be burnt at homo and 12,000,000 solid for export; while it was also declared that the foreign purchase of British coal wouM never exceed 13,000.000 tons. The writer believes that coal is now denrer in rplaliion to other commodities than it has ever been before, and he imputes this to industrial prosperi'y, the withdrawal of labour from the mines through the calling up of the R- serves, to the enormous consumption of bankers on board the War Office's transport fleet, and to the indifference displayed by the British collier when his earnings giv* him a certain margin be- yond the necessities of

HUNTED BY BLOODHOUNDS. A correspondent writes :—A day or two ago a Market Dravton gentleman, a keen sportsman, and the possessor of a number of valuable blood, hounds, was taking these animals for their cus- tomarv constitutional, when he was informed that several persona were trespassing in his fields hard by for the purpose of picking mushrooms. Unable to resist the temptation of sport thus pro- vided, and being desirous of giving his younger dogs a trial, he immediately pnt the hounds on the scent, and was treated to a far finer chase than ever he anticipated. For cousiderably over an hour the quarry, consisting of four men,each well supplied with a good quantity of the tasty.fuz)gi, led the hounds in fall cry through fences and corn fields, until eventually the culprits were brought to bay in a wood aome distance away, Here it wa.s discovered that three of the trespassers bad soaght zefuge in the sheltering trees, while the fourth man, rather stouter than the others, was compelled to remain exhausted below with the mushrooms scattered in all directions.

FIVE SONS IN THE NAVY. The Qrteon has just given "notber proof of the kMD interest which she always manifests in %]I that concerns her soldiers and sailors. It was represented to her Majesty that Mr Jeremiah Shanahan, who lives at 35, Unicorn-street, Port- sea, had five sons serving their Qneen and coun- try in the Royal Navy. Her Majesty has sent the old man a present of E3. Lieutenant-Colonel Sir Fleetwood Edwards's letter to Mr Shansban enclosing the Post Office order states that it is a small present from theQaeen in the hope that it may prove of some temporary assistance." Th" eldest of the five sons, John, is a signalman on the Porpoise, now in Australian waters. Wil- liam, the second son, is a seaman-gunner and torpedo-instructor on the Andromeda, in the Mediterranean. Philip is a yeoman of signals, borne on the books of the Victory at Portsmouth. Jeremiah is a blacksmith's mate, serving on the Teriible in China and Frank, the youngest, is a seaman serving on the Endvmion in China.

SUFFOCATED BY GAS. At Birmingham on Tuesday a young man named Lyons and his wife, who arrived in the city on the previous day to take over the manage- ment of an inn, were fonnd in the bedroom of their new dwelling in the last stages of suffoca- tion by gas, the balance- having fallen from the gas pendantand" caused the escape. Lyons succumbed, and his wife only returned to con- sciousness after an hour's unremitting medical attention. An explosion of gas occurred at A«kan-in- Fameas Blast Furnace- near Barrow, on Tues- day. Two boilerma.erB na.med Turner and Kendal were seriously injnred, the former falling 60ft., sustaining a fracture of the skull, and Ken- dal being badly barnt.

TECHNICAL INSTRUCTION. GLAMORGANSHIRE MINING SCHOLARSHIPS. APPOINTMENT OF TEACHER. 1 he quarterly meeting of the above-named C6BK mittee WAS held at Cardiff on Tuesday under the presidency of Alderman J. Jones Griffiths. The sub-committee appointed to consider the question of agricultural instruction recommended that advertisements be inserted for a teacher. On the recommendation of the sub-committee, it was agreed to contribute £ 941 towards erecting a boundary wall around Penarth School Grounds, paving the ground, and furnishing the gym- nasium. A sub-committee had been appointed to consider the question of grants by the Board of Ectacaiion, but the Chairman said the committee suggested that the matter shoold be deferred until the first grant had been received under the new regulations issued b) the Board of Agricul- tare. The sab- committee suggested that a. stand- ing committee be formed to consider the appli- cations from the local sab-committees and the subjects to be taught at the various centres, bat Mr O. fL .Tones contended that this recommenda- tion was out of order. The Chairman agreed, and gave notice to raise the question at the ad- journed meeting, An application for an increase of salary from Mr Davies, mining teacher, was, on the Motion of Alderman T.J. Hughes, referred to the sub-committee to reoort to the adjourned meeting. Applications for cookery classes at Bedlmog, Hengoed, Merthyr Vale, and NMty- moel were &cceded to. It was agreed that the new school at Hengoed should be furnished by the committee, the expenditure not to exceed X400. On the representation of Dr. O'Donnell and Mr H. S. Davies, it was decided to devote S263 towards providing a new boundary wall for Barry SchooJ. On the motion of Mr H. S. Davies, £123 was voted towards furnishing the gymnasium and physical laboratory at Ponty- pridd School. The tender of Mr Gaen, of Port Talbot, for £ 1,735 for carrying oat certain altera- tiona and additions to Port Talbot County School was, on the motion of Mr Hopkin Morgan, accepted. EFFECT OF THE LATE STRIKE. The sub-committee appointed to deal with mining scholarships reported that they had not considered the snbct, the Chairman giving as a reason the dislocation of traffic on the Taff Vale Railway, which neces. sitated the members getting away from Ponty- pridd earlier than usual. It was suggested that the matter should be again referred to the sub- committee, but Mr T. Thomas, Merthyr, pro- tested. It was twelve months since this subject cropped up, and it was time they dealt with it. Mining was the staple industry of the connty, and it was thought the mining community were entitled to two ont of the 18 scholarships given by the Council. Dr. O'Douneil moved that the sob-committee be asked to report on the subject to the adjourned meeting to be hdd in a. month, and this being ac:ept»ble to Mr Thomas was carried. Six candidates appeared before the com- mittee for the post of mining teacher for the Western district, and afw each had addressed the committee on one of five subjects eelect-d by the chairman, Mr John Samuel, of Trcorky, received nine votes. and Mr Nasbj Pontypridd, eight votes. The former was therefore elected.

HEALTH OF THE LARGE TOWNS. LOCAL STATISTICS. The return of the Registrar-General for the week ending Saturday last (1st September) shows that in 33 of the largest towns of England and Wales, which include Cardiff aud Swansea, and contain each upwards of 89,000 persons, there were registered 7,042 births and 4,824 deaths.
