There were 12(5 in- mates in the House as compared with 101 in the corresponding day last year. 40 tramps had been accommodated in the House during the fortnight. OUTDOOR RELIEF. The report of the relieving officers showed the amount of relief distributed during the fortnight to be as follows: 1st week, 935 paupers, being a decrease of 18 as compared Tnth the corresponding week expenditure zEI35 IUs. tid., a decrease of 17s. 3d. 2nd week: 928 paupers, being a decrease of 22; expenditure, £ 127 7s. 00., a decrease of £ & 13s. (id. FINANCES. The Treasurer's Report showed a balance in hand to be £ 2,272 lis. 9d. on tha previous Board day. A TROUBLESOME BOY. The Master brought forward the case of the boy from Mill street, wtio was sent to the House, when his mother was sent to gaol for iIt-treating him. The boy was very trouble- some, and did not return in regular time when he was let out. Inspector Roberts, of the N.S.P.C.C. at- tended before the Board, and it was decided that the Clerk should make enquiries with the view or finding an industrial school to "which the bov could be sent. Inspector Roberts said that the boy's mother would be released in a day or two. It. was decided that the Guardians should assume the parental control of the boy. BRANDY. The Master submitted the usual list of re- quirements. Amongst them was a bottle of brandy. Mr. T. Thomas: What is the brandy for ? Air. D. Thomas (Llanfihangel): For drink- ing (laughter). Mr. r. Thomas said that the Medical Officer's attention otplit to be called to these orders for brandy. In some workhouses, it was prohibited. Mrs. Thomas You can't stop it when the doctor orders it. Mr. T. Thomas: I should stop it (laugh- ter). A CANDIDATE. Mr. David John, Glyntaf, wrote asking to be relieved from his post as deputy- relieving officer for the St. Clears district, as he was a candidate for the Guardians.—It was de- cided to accept the resignation. TRAMPS. A letter was read from the Town Clerk of Carmarthen written at the instance of the Watch Committee. The letter drew atten- tion to the increase in the number of tramps, and expressed a hope that the Guardians would do their best to deal with the problem. They thought that the keeping of tramps in for two nights would do more harm than good. A discussion ensued on the Question. The Master stated that the tramps kept over- night were given 21cwt. or 3cwt. of stone to break, but those who were kept in for a whole day were given 9cvvt. of stone to break. I Mr. J. Lewis said that the other night the police had been unable to find room .either at she workhouse or the lodging house for some of the tramps who applied fur re- lief. The police had gone down Mill str»eo ) try and find room for them, but with the militia in town ail these houses were full, and they could not take the tramps in. He would like to know what would happen if a tiamp who had to stay out all night this weather was found a dead corpse in the morning, would anybody be responsible. The Clerk said that was rather a difficult question. If the whole of Swansea came down here for the night, the Guardians would not be bound to accommodate them. The Master said that. tie had Ave of them siirting up in the bathroom the other night, and three at another time, because there were no beds for them. A report was received from Mr. George Morgan. He enclosed plans for the pro- vision of ten additional sleeping cells, and fear stone breaking cells for tramps. The estimate was £ 100. A !.Y.V/AS read from Buckley's Brevery they were pxrpared to sell Nor- ton's Brewery," which some of the Guardians had expressed a wish to purchase. Mr. T. Thomts asked if they were pre- pared to part with a portion of it ? The Clerk I don't knew. Mr. J. P. Lewis moved that the Finance Committee visit the place, and ascertain whether 1Jw Company would be willing to sell a portion of the old brewery. — This was agreed to. Mr. AV. J. Thomas said that there ought t") be combined action ow the part of the sur- rounding houses. "What was the good of pioridiug for thirty or forty tramps when Llandilo. Xewaastle Ecnlyn, and Narbertli did nothing. Mr. Joseph Morris: We shall be having them here, and relieving other unions. Mr. W. J. Thomas asked if many tramps came into the house in fine weather. The Master said that the cells were all occupied in the summer. Mr. W. J. Thomas said that it was his ex- perience that tramps stayed out in the coun- try in fine weather. If room were provided I for them in the Workhouse, it wou-M only be i.rviting them into the town. The Chairirwui suggested that it would be well to leave tins as a legacy to the new be ard. Mr W. J. Thomas thought it would not Vm advisible for them to enter into any un «Je,rtaki»!g whirh would involve ex- pense; this question would be dealt with by 'J. M a higher authority than the Board of Guar- dians. 1'1 1 The Master stated that the ti-aiiips III-(,,] to be kept in two nights this cold weather. The plans or Mr. Morgan, and the whole subject were deferred to the Visiting House Committee. RURAL DISTRICT COUNCIL. The monthly meeting of the Carmarthen Rural District Council was held at the Town Hall. on Saturday, at 1 p.m. Mr. G. Bar- rett Evans, Y Glyn (chairman of the Council) presided. BLUE BOAR WATER SUPPLY. A letter was received from the local col- lector seating that the people on whom de- mand notes were served had objected in many cases to pay the rates for the Blue Boar water supply at St. Clears. A letcer was also read from a public meeting, thi; protested against the charge and stated that the people could get their water elsewhere. The Chairman It is very nice to ask for a wi.frer supply, and then refuse to pay for it. Rev. T. Jones proposed that the Clerk look the matter up, aud if he considered there was a case to issue summonses against the defaulters.—This was agreed to. LAUGHARNE WATER SUPPLY. A letter was read from Mr. W .Thomas. Minerva House, Laugharne, stating that there was no town in Carmarthenshire bet- ter supplied with water than Laugharne. There. were plenty of pumps, and water tanks, and it would be cruel to impose a tax on the people for an additional water supply. The Clerk said that Mr. W. Thomas had changed his mind. The Chairman suggested that this matter had better be left over until the meeting of the new council.- riiis was agreed to. A FERRYSIDE SLAUGHTER HOUSE. A letter was received from Miss Gwyn with reference to the case of a butcher there. She asked that he be allowed to continue the use of his present slaughter house. It was impossible to get a proper supply of water to flush it. She thought it would he better if a public slaughter house could be provided at Fo ryside. Mr. Gomer Henry (Inspector of Nuisances) said that the matter had come up before them because the old man's daughter had died of enteric Dr. Jones (Mcdical Officer) said that this wa.i contrary to their bye-laws. He reported it to them as such. It was nothing to him personally whether they carried out their tye-laws or not. Mr. W. J. Thomas moved that it was a ( nuisance, they serve notice to have it sur- pressed.—This motion on being seconded fell to the ground. KHYDYGAR BRIDGE. Two tenders were received for the erection of this bridge; John David. £ 285; Dd. Howell and Sons, Llanddowror, £:280. The latter was accepted. | RHYDYGAI BRIDGE. One tender was received for R'nydygar bridge. Llanpumpsaint. Mr. Henry "joe.es, of Waltei- Mill, Conwil, offered to make a bridge one course of Pembrey bricks and the rest Dolgwili at £ 49; ail Pembrey at £ 57. If was decided to let him have the contract if he would do it all in Dolgwili bricks at PENTRE DRAINAGE. A discussion arose over the drainage of Pcntre, St. Clears. Dr. Jones thoughtYnev bad no right to contaminate the river It was decided to erect a silting tank, and I t) ask Mr. John John, of Pentre, to clear it. The plans for Cwmglo bridge Lianarth- ney, were produced, and ordered to be sent to the County Surveyor for approval. THE ATTENDANCES OF THE CARMAR- THEN GUARDIANS.

Ammanford Urbaa District Council. PROPOSED YVEEKLY MARKET. The monthly meeting of the Ammanford Urban Council was held at the Council Schools, Ammanford, on Friday week. Mr. W. N. Jones presiding, there being also pre- sent: Messrs. D. J. Jones, E. Hewlett, J. Iiwies, H. Davies, Thos. Fletcher, Col. Morris, Messrs. S. Callard, J. E. Jones, Evan Evans, W. Jones, J. Morgan, Evan Jones, W. Rees. together with the Clerk (Mr. B. R. J ern), Medical Officer (Dr. Price), Surveyor (Mr. Yv'. LI. Evans), and Collector (Mr. Tom illiams). THE HOTEL CESSPOOL AGAIN. At the last meeting it was reported that the cesspool at the back of the 1 Cross Inn Hotel, has not. been built according to the bye'rlaws, when a resolution was passed that laws. Mr. Callard asked what steps had been tal. en with regard to the bye-laws. The Surveyor said that the landlady of tho Hotel would close up the w.c. running into it. it should be done in accordance with the bye- The Chairman intimated that a letter had in Ammanford for the young people to imp been reoeived from Air. Bishop on the mat- ter. The letter was to the eifcct that he (Mr. Bishop), was told that the cesspool had been built in accordance with their (the Council) direction, and that if tit. any bye-laws which had been contravened, he would like to get a copy of them. It was elicited at this juncture that the Council's bye-laws were with the Local Government Board awaiting approval, and that pending such an approval the byerlaws or the Llandilo-fawr Rural District Council were in vogue. The Chairman said they should reply to Mr. Bishop's letter, and asked the Surveyor if he had sent a reply. The Surveyor No. Mr. W. Jones was of opinion that the cess- pool was better at present and was being cemented. Col. Morris: All we have got to do is to send Mr. Bishop a copy of our bye-laws. It is as plain as a pickstaff. The Chairman asked what reply they would give that part of the letter which said that it had been done m accordance with their directions. ¡ The Surveyor said that he told those con- cerned, that the cesspool was to be dene in accordance with the bye-laws. Col. Morris: Did you give him (Mr. Griffiths, Lord Dynevor's surveyor is meant here) a copy of the bye-laws. The Surveyor: He said he had a copy. The Chairman said that in fairness to their Surveyor he would like to say that he had been informed that the cesspool had been erccted according to his (the Surveyor) dir- ections, and to have it built as at present. Was that so ? The Surveyor: I have not told Mr. Grif- fiths. Mr. Henry Davies believed they should kv.ve the cesspool as it was, and until they hiid a proper system of drainage. Mr. Callard moved that the Surveyor f should reply to Mr. Bishoo's letter thrciirrh the clerk. I Mr. J. Davies seconded. Mr. D. George: Who is going to bear the cos. of carrying away this stuff from the cesspool. Is it the owner or the Council? ¡' Tne Chairman: The owner as far as I know. Mr. W. Rees: Where is the stuff to be taken to. ) Dr. Price said it could be thrown ovei- the fields. There was now a misunderstanding anent the resolution passed, and whether they I shculd reply to Nti,, Bishop, This was how- ever rectified. TIIQ Chairman said that the Surveyor had given them mis-statement, and he thought given them mis-statement, and he thought they should reply to Mr. Bishop's letter. He ¡ moved that they reply to Mr. Bishop's letter, ] giving the Surveyor's statement that he did not give instructions to build the cesspool as it was at present, and also send him a II copy of the bye-lawo. Mr. J. Morgan seconded, and it was screed to. ° FREE LIBRARY QUESTION. A notice motion down for discussion was that given by Mr. j. Morgan to discus the appropriateness of adopting the Free Libraries Act." In some remarks Mr. Mor- gan said that Ammanrord was lacking in re- spect of a free library, liiere was no oppor- tunity in Ammanford for the young people to improve and cultivate brain power by at- teiiciing such an institution. For instance tf eirs was a colliery district, and there was not a first-class certificated colliery manager ni the district except those already in em- ployment, say from Tumble to the top of lii ynainan. As far as he understood there was only one second class colliery manager m the whole district, hence it was necessary mat they should give an opportunity to the young people to improve themselves. Tiiev were aware that Lord Dvuevor had proui'seu a site on which to build a librarv, and as far as he knew that offer still held gi He tll0ug},t> in the first place they should appi oach ljord Dynovor with regard ti that offer, an dthen approach jlr. (A.rnegie for a donation towards the build- or the library. They knew that a penny rate on the rateable value of Ammanford vciiki not maintain a free library in Ammun- ierd, therefore they should approach Mr. Carnegie. He may feel disposed, with his usual generosity, to give £ 7,000, and say tnere was 10 per cent. on that which would 'A1-,?11 Surely tney could provide that £ iu to keep if going. He believed they veie noi r-ound to adout the Free Libraries Act to approach Mr. Carnegie. His friend, Mr. Roberts, Pontardulais. had approached Mr. Carnegie with regard to libraries for 1 cntaroulais and Gorseinon, and he thought they Siloll],J approach him to see what his offer would be. He proposed that they ap- proacn Lord Dynevor, through Mr. Bishop, to secure the site for i\ library, and also Mr! Carnegie to get his terms. The Chairman: You do not propose vour notice of motion then ? Mr. Morgan replied that he left it to the meeting to discuss. TV- Chairman What you want to do is to approach Lord Dynevor :md Mr. Ca -ne*de first of all, and before adopting the Act. Mr. Morgan: Yes. "hr> v i^chairman I don't think we ar° i'i oro-^r to discuss the proposition now. I Mr. Morgan is rather irregular. Mr. Morgan: Let us have the Council's opinion on the matter. I don't want it knocked on its head now. [ Tho Chairman suggested electing g com- mittee to discuss the matter, and bring up a report. The Vice-chairman moved this. Mr. W. Rees seconded, and it was carried. The Committee will be the Chairman and Vice-chairman or the Council and also chair- I men of each committe with Mr. Morgan. I A FOOTPATH. Mr. Cailard moved that a public footoath :Tcm Castle-evan to Maesybettws be repaired and turnstiles erected on the path. The Surveyor submitted a plan of the path. Col. Morris seconded the motion. Vice-chairman, Mr. Fletcher, and Mr George spoke as to the condition of the path, ana the motion was carried. Included in the above was the notice of motion of Col. Morris to repair the oath from tiie Yvauncae-ifan to Maesybettws.' AN IMPORTANT BRIDGE WANTED. The question of erecting a bridge over the Amman at has been discussed time and again, and now (Col. Morris) Drought it forward, for consideration. He pointed out, explained clearly the whole mat- ter, and ako the danger attached to this soot. ihere were several Councils have vo ee approached to the cost of erecting a bridge, and the Llangvfelach Parish Council had already offered £ 50 to- wards the building cf a bridge there. He moved that the matter be referred to the Roads Committee to bring up a report. The ice-chairman seconded, and it was c i,. I ripd. PROPOSED SANATORIUM. The next matter that came under delibera- tion was that prompted by Col. Morris, and which wak to consider the desirability of con- tributing to the Building and Maintenance Fund or the proposed Sanatorium for the suppression of consumption at Llanybyther. The Col. referred to the spread of tuber- colons to-uay Two Councils in Gloucester shire, he said, had got the Jbocal Government Board inspector down to enquire into the | they had decided to contribute ~"i°0 each towaras such a Sanatorium. Tho Committee who had this matter for their aistrict had obtained an excellent site at Llanybyther, which would be jointly be- tween three counties, viz., Pembrokeshire, Cardiganshire, and Carmarthenshire. The cost would be a little over £ 5,000 to provide < —J beds. It was intended to approach vari- S ous County Councils, and ask them to lew ] o ■> ion rate which would come to about ^,o00. He would like to get £ 250 from I their Council if possible. Re referred t.o I large death rale from consumption in the couniiv, and dwelt upon the excellent op- I portunity which would be afforded to poor people suffering from this disease to go to this institution where they would get plentv I of fresh a-ir and comfort. I J Mi Cailard referred in some remarks to tne SneSeld Council, which had refused to have anything to do with a similar matter. Col. Morris pressed hard tho advisability of giving financial support to such an in- stitution. Dr. Price also gave his views on the mat- ter, and the question was referred to a com- mittee WEEKLY MARKET. c°1- ^Ior"s said that he had brought for- ward the question of having a weekly mar- ker for Ammanford at the request of some farmers He thought the time had come when they should have a weekly market in Ammantord. Farmers went out of the town to Swansea and Llanelly to sell their pro- duce, and would naturally afterwards pat- i-onizo. the shopkeepers of the town fo- their wants, whereas if they had a market in Am- man.ore, the tradesmen of this town would jenen L He moved that the question be de- feJTed to the Roads Committee Mr. Hewlett seconded. and it was car- ried. OVERSEERS. Messrs. J. Davies and Evan Evans were appointed overseers for tho time being. A BILL. Mr. Hewlett said that with regard to the piopoaed recreation ground three P-entle- men (Messrs. Watcyn Wyn, Ivoi- Mor- iis, and himself) had been appointed trustees for the land in 1897, and the rent was £2 a year. He had received a bill from Mr Bishon for payment. He was going to pay the bilk but would act no longer as a trustee. He «? tk T+if to f-^Plain that to the Council o-cund 001 m°Ve m the matter of a S?10rt (]!'scussion the Council de- cked ,o wait a reply from Mr Bishop to pre- VIOUS correspondence. ROADS. It appears that some complaints have been made to Mr. Bishop with regard to the roads v.]c.i have to be made in front and leading t) nouses newly built, the complaint being made by the owners of the houses. It wax was^aocided that tlws Chairman, Vice,chaii- rSSL-S' r Jones' S. Callard, T. le^nei u. E ./ones, and Evans, be the corn- hop ° l° m BlslloP on the matter. THE CONTRACTOR. Mr. Evan Jones drew the attention of the Council to the treatment meted out to their contractor Mr. Thomas Daries, Tirydail. iueie had been some unfairness towards Mr Davies, he understood, at Pantyffvnon, wh-n he wns stopped hauling stones, and others put to GO the work in his stead. The Surveyor said that he could not get the, contractor to do anything. 1 The matter then dropped. THE COST OF ROLLER. The Chairman reported that the estimated expenditure on the steam roller for hire, stones and other work in connection with it fo-- the six weeks it had been here was about £ l00. ■MMUMBBF."1! mil iii mil IMRN
How Draughts affeet the Ovan
How Draughts affeet the Ovan What oven could do its work if for a few moments an icy blast were blowing upon it, the next few a wave of heat, the next a cloud of steam, and so on? Every woman knows that it would spoil anything put into it. Yet scores of women, and men too, expect the deheate organs of the human body to do un- aided what cast iron can't do. "Digestion, like an oven, needs a steady heat-a heat of about 100 degrees. The liver needs to be at nearly the same heat. Yet women run from a hot kitchen to hang clothes on the line out- ^itie go from before a hot fire in a warm to make the beds and sweep a cold attic and then wonder how they have caught a chill and why they have indigestion. To know how these ailments are contracted is not so important as to know that ehas. Forde's bile beans cure them, however they may have been contracted. Mrs. Annie Light, of Court Five, Catherine Street, As- ton. stvs: -Y daughter. Alice Maud, got wet and caught a chill. This reduced Wr to a weak, helpless state. Her appetite fei! off. she was always cold, and seemed alto- gether run down.' We gave he a course of bil" beans, and they seemed to tone her up wonderfully. In a short time all traces of her illness left her, and she is now quite well. Indeed, she is in better health now than she- has been for a long time." From Roscrea, Ireland, comes a similar tribute to bile beans. Mr. Patrick Maher says: — "While working in a beg. I got my i feet wet, got a thorough chill, and was laid up for some time. My whole system seemed disordered, and I began to suffer the pains of rheumatism. For four months I was in l>ed, and for several weeks I could not bear the bed-clothes to touch my feet or legs, ti.ey were so painful. I took doctor's medi- t1.py were so painful. I took doctor's medi- cines until I was sick of them. When I trifd bde beans I soon felt a difference. By per- severing with them I was eventually quite cured, and I have kept well and hearty sirc-e." March is the month which tries the system nu.ie than any other. Warm davs, followed by biting east winds, find out the weak places Pile beans not only strengthen those weak ph-ces but clear the system froT. disease which hap entered re cases show.

---------_.-HOME HINTS. >
HOME HINTS. > Many are the boots which are ruined by being placed close to a fierce fire when they are wet. Such a process while drying the leather shrinks it, renders it harsh, and causes it to split and stiffen. Damp boots should, if possible, be filled with oats, which will not only preserve the shape, but absorb the moisture. When dry, rub them over with oil, and let it saturate the leather before cleaning. It is better to use a wooden spoon than one of meted when stirring miik or soups, and before using baking-tins you should grease them inside thoroughly either with butter or lard. In order to prevent them from burning, it is :is well to take she precaution of sprinkling the shelves of the oven with salt. When tablecloths are beginning to wear out in the lollis, cut two or three inches off one end and one side and re-hem them. This process will change the places of the folds, &nd wdl add new lite to the cloth. Serviettes and towels should be treated in the same way. COCOANUT MERINGUE.—Mix 4oz. of finely- grated white bread-crumbs with' 2oz. of desic- jated cocoanut and l2oz. of castor sugar, and put into a well greased pie-dish. Then take the yolks of two eggs, and beat them thoroughly nto hulf a pint of fresh milk, and flavour with i few drops of vanilla essence. Pour over the mixture and place the dish into a moderate oven all set; then take it out and put a layer of jam jver. Lastly, take the whites of the eggs, pre- j riously beaten to a stiff froth, and put over the ;op of the pudding in pyramid shape, and iprinkle with a little sugar. Return it to the sven till it becomes a delicate brown. To GLAZE SHIRTS AND COLLARS.—The irticies should be first starched in cold starch md tlieui ironed damp. Next, a piece of flannei s dipped in some powdered Freuoh chalk and -iibb,ed smoothly on each article, after which a )iece of white curd soap is rubbed over the halk, Finally, the articles are ironed on the -ight side only with a moderately hot iron, and vhen finished will have the effect of whito >orcelain. A CURE FOR CARBUNCLES.—Get one penny- worth of brewer's barm from any brewery and ake one dessertspoonful three times a day in k little water. In one particular case this cured boy who was under medical treatment for two ears, and got little or no relief. The barm nust be obtained fresh, as often as desired, mt two penny worth a week is plenty. Continue o take it until quite well. j AMERICAN BAKED BEANS.—Soak a pint of small white haricot beans overnight. In the morning wash them in fresh water and put them in a saucepan with sufficient water to cover them amply. Boil slowly till the skins begin to break and until the beans are soft. Pour off the water, add pepper and salt, put the beans in a baking dish, pouring a cup of water over them. Bury a piece of pork in the beans and bake slowly till well done, adding a little water if required. TASTY DISH.ES. Ham balls are tasty croquettes with chopped ham as a base. Put into a double boiler half a cup of milk and two tablespoonfuls of stale bread crumbs. Cook to a smooth paste. Add half a cup of chopped ham, a scraping of onion juice, one tablespoon- ful of minced parsley and the beaten yolk of one egg. -3iStir until thick, then turn the mixture out on a plate to cool. Roll into small balls, dip each one in the white of egg slightly beaten and diluted with a teaspoonful of water, then roll in finely sifted bread crumbs. Fry in deep fat. Send to the table piled cannon ball fashion on a serviette and garnished with parsley. To one cupful of the lentils, if making a lentil curry, allow a cupful each o° milk and watery Soak the lentils in tb'jj overnight. Make a curry sauce by browning a minced onion in a large tablespoonful of butter, and adding a dessert- spoonful of curry powder. Add the lentils with the milk and water, in which they have been soaked, season with salt and pepper, cover and cook slowly for two hours. At the last moment squeeze in the juice of half a lemon. Serve with a border of hot boiled rice. ——. PRUNE SOUFFLE.—Half a pound of prunes two tablespoonfuls of powdered fsugar, four eggs, one small teaspoonful of vanilla. Beat the yolks of the eggs and the sugar to a cream, add the vanilla, and mix them with the prunes, the prunes having been stewed, drained, and the stones removed, and each prune cut in four pieces. Whenjready to serve fold in lightly the whites of the eggs, which have been whipped to a stiff froth, a dash of salt having been added to the eggs before whipping them. Pour it into a pudding dish and bake in a moderate oven for 20 minutes. Serve it as soon as it is taken from the oven. A few chopped almonds or prune pits may be added to the mixture before the whites are put in if desired. INDIVIDUAL CHICKEN PIEs.-They can be baked in deep saucers or in tins, but small stone china bowls are better. You must have young chickens. Cut at every joint, making four pieces of the back and of the breast; cover with cold water and simmer till tender. Cover the bottom of each bowl with minced salt pork, and lay upon this a piece of dark meat and one of light. Allow a bit of liver or gizzard to each also, and tuck in two tiny parboiled onions or a saltspoonful of minced onion that has been parboiled. Four potato marbles, also parboiled, come next, and three small cubes of pastry. Thicken the liquor in which the chicken was boiled with a generous lump of butter rolled in flour, season with pepper and chopped parsley. The pork will furnish salt: Pour the gravy over fche contents of each bowl up to the brim cover with pastry, make a slit in the top, and bake in a good oven. Cover with paper for bake in a good oven. Cover with paper for half an hour, then brown quickly, A SWEBT CUSTOM.—The custom of taking sugar with everything is a habit pure and simple and one that can be overcome. The girl who has been in the habit of sugaring her coffee, sweetening her oatmeal, taking a little sugar on her fruit, and of dipping into the powdered sugar frequently or the seasoning of other foods will find that she can get along just as well if she will go without sugar for a while. It can be said that sugar can be forgotten in a very short time. The girl or the woman who will go without it for a week will, at the end of that time, have lost her taste for it. Coffee and fruits will taste better without sugar, while the complexion will improve by the minute. FISH AND SALAD.—Crabs a la Creole.— Cut three pieces of bacon in small pieces, put them into the hot dish of a double boiler or a chafing dish, add two cups of crabraeat cut into dice, then one green pepper denuded of its interior and chopped fine, one cup of tomatoes, pulp and juice, and when boiling add one cup of mushrooms cut into small pieces, cook for a few moments, then serve. All vegetables and fish used in salads must be in first-class condi- tion. Left overs will not do. Lettuce must be crisp, celery white and tender, and everything must be cold. With the single exception of onion and parsley, ingredients for salad are cut, ncveB chopped. Chicken*is shredded, fish flaked with a fork, and vegetables all 'cut into uniform pieces with a small, sharp knife. Keep lettuce aud celery in cold water till serving time, drain, and dry on a cloth. To make French dressing, proceed as follows :—Into a soup plate or china bowl put half a teaspoonful of salt and a dash of paprika, then add three table- spoons of olive oil and stir till the saJt and pepper are partially or wholly absorbed. Then add one tablespoon of tarragon vinegar and stir till the dressing is smooth and thick. It must not be poured over the vegetables till the moment before serving, and it is usually made at the table. For fruit salads, lemon juice is used in place of the tarragon vinegar. In making French dressing it is well to remember the Spanish adage—" a spendthrift for oil, a miser for vinegar, a councillor for salt, and a madman to stir it." HOT-POT.—To make "hot-pot," first lay in the meat, plentifully seasoned with pepper and salt, then sliced onions, and afterwards sliced potatoes, and so on, till the dish is full, finish- ing off with potatoes sliced a little thicker than those in the layers. Everything, from game, poultry, etc., to roast to uncooked beef and mutton, may be used. Salt pork, too, can be cooked in this way. A refined kind of "hot- pot" can be made with chicken, oysters, ham, sweetbread, and mushrooms, when obtainable. The meat in this dase has generally been pre- viously cooked like the vegetables. The oven in which" hot-pot" is cooked must not be too fierce. If made of raw meat, especially beef, it ill excellent, but requires a lorn; time to cook properly. Three • hours is not too long for a r fair quantity, as it must be doue properly or it will be dried up.

Thomas, Llangain. Thomas Stephens, farmer, Abcrgwili, got drunk on the 2nd inst. P.C. William James proved the case, and Thomas had to pay 2s. Gd. and costs. Stray Sow. — Benjamin Davies, Felin Newydd, Newchurch, was summoned by P.C. I). J. Davies, for allowing a sow to stray on' the 3rd inst. This being within the infected area, the Chairman observed that unless farmers assisted to carry out this Order the latter would be prolonged for months longer. Defendant said soiuoone must have opened the gate and let the sow out. He was fined Is. and 8s. costs. A Question of Capacity.—Thomas Wil- liams, Cwm Farm, Cwmffrwd, was sum- moned for being drunk and disorderly, but did not answer his name and sent no mes- ssnger of explanation, so the Bench directed a warrant to be issued for his arrest. Wil- liams was subsequently brought into court in custody, wearing, among other things, a look of defiance as lofty as his limited stature would permit. v The Clerk (Mr. Morgan Griffiths): You are charged with being drunk and disorderly; do you plead guilty? Defendant (scornfully)): No, I don't. P.C. Thomas Evans said that about 4.20 p.m. on the 2nd inst., he saw Williams on the road near the Junction, staggering drunk, very noisy, and shouting at the top of his voice. The constable warned him to be quiet, and said he had received a com- plaint. about defendant from a lady and gentleman, who thought Williams was a lunatic and were afraid to pass him. Eventually Williams went away. P.C. Lewis corroborated the condition of Williams, and said when lie served him with the-, summons, Williams said he would not attend, and that he was not drunk. Capt. Harries said defendant was fined os. and costs in September for being drunk oil licensed premises. There were two other cor victions. Williams said I had nothing much to drink -—only a pint or two, and that was not too much for me. (Laughter). The Chairman: Why did you not attend here at 12 o'clock? Defendant: I was attending the cows (laughter). A fine of 5s. and costs was imposed. Rose Smith, Llanboidv, apparently a fra- veiling hawker, was brought up in 'custody OP a charge of lauceny. Mary Ldwards, North Street, Wh it land, said on the /th inst. about 2.30 the defendant knocked at my door and asked me to buy some lace, I asked her indoors and bought » a. worth of luco. Defendant asked me t; give her potatoes, which I did. I had 3s. 21d. in my hand. She took the money from my hand by fore?, and she took two pieces of meat from a dish in that room. h0 gave me all the money back and Kent a shilling which she refused to return although had threatened to send for the police. Sho then went away with the shilling and the u (-at. Before s'ht- left sho wanted to know all the silver I bed in, the house.

A day with the Bronwydd Beagles. •• A day with the Bronwydd Beagles??? ? On Thursday, March 10th, Master Lloyd and his pack of beagles met at Panteg. A start was made from here for the top of Xantgwynfan land. A splendid hare was soon found in this district, and a rifn was made down through Pwllcornol towards Poli- ty and Parke. The hare managed to turn back, and soon made its way hack along the same course towards Xantgwynfan land. Being closely pursued, she took the main road as far as Pantgwyn, wherei a dart was made across the fields towerds Pwllcornol, and another fast run took place dnnll through the Wern to Dolfeiin. The little animal, finding the beagles pressing on, made a cut across towards Warrigan and Glanrhyd. From hare it weftt across through Blaencefn, and down for the third time to the bottom of Parke and Pcnty land. Though the much-csveted prize was missed, yet the sportsmen were satisfied with hav- ing enjoyed one of the most exciting runs of the season.
