ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL. CAERAU. After a long list of away matches, the home team had an encounter with Cardiff City. This was the return match, Cardiff on the pre- vious occasion proving victors by 3 goals to 1. jEarly in the game, Turner, the outside left, had exceptionally hard lines in putting the ball behind by inches. A corner was granted to Cardiff, and from a scramble in goal Broom put into the net. Brummy Harris, Caerau's young outside right, put in a lovely centre from touch, and Gmgel netted. Williams, the home goalie, made some ex- cellent saves. Broom, apparently offside, scored another goal, which was keenly disputed. From the kick-off, Gingel showed all a clean pair of heels and scored. Broom was now playing a great game for the City. and completely beat Li. Williams from a difficult angle. Cardiff, with the lead, HOW played a defensive game, but for an in- fringement in penalty area Caerau were awar- ded a penalty, from which Wilcox easily-drew a point. Then came the whistle, and a draw was pro- claimed. The homo team made a good show all round.

THE QUESTION OF HEALTH. The question of health is a matter which is sure to concern us at one time or another, especially when Influenza is so prevalent as it is just now, so it is well to know what to take to ward off an attack of this most weakening disease, this epidemic catarrh or cold of an aggravating kind, to combat it whilst under its baleful influence, and particularly after an attack, .for then the system is so lowered as to be liable to the most dangerous com- plaints. Gwilym Evans's Quinine Bitters is acknowledged by all who have given it a fair trial to be the best specific remedy dealing with Influenza in all its various stages, being a preparation skilfully prepared with Quinine and accompanied with other blood purifying and enriching agents, suitable for the liver, digestion, and all those ailments requiring tonic strengthening and nerve increasing pro- perties. It is invaluable for those suffering with colds, pneumonia, or any serious illness, or prostration caused by sleeplessness, or worry of any kind, when the body has a general feeling of weakness and lassitude. Send for a copy of the pamphlet of testi- monials, which carefully read and consider well: then buy a bottle (sold in two sizes, 2s. 9d.and 4s. 6d.) at your nearest Chemist or Stores, but when purchasing see that the naine Gwilym Evans" is on the label, stamp ana bottle, for without which none are genu- ine.

It has taken the rr. al world a great many vears to discover tba". of hearing is almost invariably caused by '0 di.-»ease of the throat or note, or both, savs the Frw:iry Doctor. But very recent r^searche^ in rfie-o have de- monstrated this fact beyend question, and it is now admitted by the more ad* a need medical men that, aside from rupture of r 1]., ear-drum, there is scarcely a e-ymptom ot defective bearing which is not traceable directly to the condition of the ncee and throat.

All strong or pungent odours should be avoided as far as possible, especially those which act upon the t-ecretory proofs3e*. and. as tho popular expression goes, <. make the raoee run. TO PURIFY THE AIR. Charcoal is very useful in purifying the air of an underground room if k appears damp or mustv. In every cellar a tin box-lid should be filled with pieces of charcoal and placed on the floor, this being renewed from time to time. VALUE OF OLIVE OIL. A daily all-over maswage with oiive oil. and swal- lowing a teaspoonful of the pure oil throe times a day. work wonders, says a physician who is an authority on the subject, and who has been experimenting with the treatment. Too much oil must not be put OIl the face, though. It phimps out the fiesh, but unless used in the greatest moderation, it will make the skin of the face look, in time, dark and greasy. Even on the body, the skin of which is not so sensitive, it is well to remember that olive oil is a. thing of which a lfttle goes a great way. It is said that I rheumatism can find no foothold in a. system fortitied by olive oil- It will sometimes cure nervousness, and has a very quietening effect in caaea of neuralgia and other nervous disorders. THE INSOMNIA BATH. The us" of the warm bath for inducing sleep is very efficient. The bath should be taken in a room the temperature of which is 65deg. to 75deg. Fahr. The patient is made to stand with his head over the edge of the bath. and his head and face aro rapidiy douched v.ith water at IGOdeg. Fahr. The coo.ing of the body by the air and the hot spoiling of the Úoead sendc- the blood to the head, dilating the vessels of the en- tire brain. The whole body is then immerood- except, of course, the head—in a bath at 98deg. Fahr.. which is rapidly raised to a temperature of 105deg. In a few minutes the patient is taken from the bath, wrapped in warm blankets, and taken to his room, where night clothes are put on. a warm bottle placed at his feet, and pos- sibly some liquid food administered. USES FOR ODD ENDS OF SOAP. Ends of toilet soap should never be throv/n away. but should be melted down into a. pulp with bo!'in water. When this is of the consist- one? of j soap it may ba p°ured into teacups to harden. 1¡ I fresh cakes mado in this way of what would otherwise hare been waited. These cakes oan be utilised for wa.-hing laces or small dress accei-ssories of lawn or mu.-I;n whi-ch are laundered at homo. Tho cakes should be left until the soap is not only hard but thoroughly dry, m it will then be mucn more satisiactorv, and lae-t longer. CLEANING FURNITURE. Upholstered furnituro requires a thorough cleaning now an<l then to keep it in good condi- tion. The stuffed parts should be covered with a towel and beaten with a carpet cane, the towel being occasionally shaken to get rid of the dust. The woodwork should be washed wuh tepid water and soapsuda, and aftenvardo polished with a flannel dipped in kerosene. Mahogany needs only to be rubbed with a dry cloth. Chairs should always be thoroughly washed. Soapsuds, to which ammonia has been added, must be used to clean the woodwork, while a strong lather and hot water will also be found to make the cane &eat taut, the cane being well saturated and then dried in tne open air. Salt and water and sunlight arc best for wicker chairs. RECREATION IN CHANCE. Whatever may be said against hobbies, there is nothing more wholesome for man, woman, or child than an enthusiastic interest in something outside of the regular life work. It has often been proved, says the Family Doctor, that turn- ing from the not over-congenial routine of the day to some ohoaen avocation gives true rest and eniovment. If the interest is an out-oi-door one, so much the better. For literary people- indeed. for all indoor workers, and they are the majority—there is no better medicine. NICE DISHES. FISH POTATO PlE.-Take six large potatoes, one large tablespocmful of butter, a small slice of onion. one pint of cooked codfish, salt. pepper, one large tablea^oonful of flour. ^aro | the potatoes and boil, drain off the water, mash light and fine. Add ealt and pepper, one table- spoonful of butter, and the cupfui of milk which has already come to a boil. Beat thoroughly. and spread a thin half of the omelet, and mver, on a hot dish. Heap the remainder round the edge, making a wall to retain the fish and 6auee, which should then be poured :n. First, in the preparation, boil the miik with the onion. Mix t,he flour and butter together, and when well mixed add two tables poo nfuls oi the hot milk rfir all into the boiling milk; skim out the onion, add the fish, and cook ten minutes. Sea- son with pepper. LANCASHIRE HOT-POT.-Cut up a pound each of mutton and beef, and dip into flour, highly seasoned with pepper and salt. Place half the meat at the bottom of a deep piedioh, then cover with a layer of sliced, parboiled potatoes, and some onion, then another layer of meat, and a. thick layer of potatoes oc the top. Pour over half a pint of stock or water, and bake for an hour and a-half. This can be made with cooked meat also, and ie very tasty. CHICKEN BARREK EX CASSEROLE.—Take a cold Toa6t or boiled chicken joint it. and remove the bones from £ ho flesh. Line the bottom of a deep fireproof French casserole with the meat, seasoning it with salt and pepper. Cover with a layer of peeled mushrooms, and continue- chicken and mushrooms turn and turn about-— until the dish is full. Thicken the gravy or -tock- which has been saved from the roast or boiled fowl with browned flour. Mix with finely-minced parsley and pour over the chicken. Sift a tea- spoonful of cream of tartar into two breakfastcups of flour. Melt two ounces of butter, stir it into two weU-beaten eggs. adding salt and pepper. Make a hole in the centre of the flour, and work in the liquid mixture by degTeee. Beat well, and pour the liquid batter over the chicken. Bake in a quick oven.. Serve at once when tne hatter is cooked and nicely browned, or it will fall and the dish be spoilt. MARMALADE PUDDING.—Take half a pound of breadcrumbs, a quarW of a pound of suet, a quarter of a. pownd of sugar, two eggs, a quarter of a pound of marmalade (quince or orange Mix the breadcrumbs, suet (finely minced), sugar. and uarrnalade well together; then stir in the beaten eggs, Vlbich will be sufficient to moisten the pudding; •boil m buttered mould three hours or steam four hours.

olin LONDON LETTER. ¡ [Fno: Cn:t CTY: CORRESPONDENT.] The crowds which thronged the streets along which the Royal proee.-sicn parsed on Monday were, I should think, unparalleled. Quite early they started to gather at the best points of vantage along the route, and by mid- day a dense throng stretched right from Westminster along Parliament-street and the 3Is-.II to the gates of Buckingham Palace. A great unbroken sea < i laces it was, hemmed in by the troops and police. As time wore on the exciteirent became more and more intense, vntil at last, above the medley of sounds—the r'-ioin^ of chimes, the sh .ating o' orders to the troous, ?nd the chatter of the crowd there r-^e the far-away sound of cheering and the d;t:wtHraild of the National Anthem. Then ti'e mounted escort of Household Cavalrv a.nd thu marching escort of Yeomen of tho* &uard and the King's Watermen pasred, i nd as the hl't of' the State coaches followed the cheering grew louder and louder, until, with the pas'.nrg of the great State coach or gold ill which f-at the King and Queen, smilingly acknowledging the loyal de- monstration, a mighty, uncontrolled roar of welcome and greeting burst from thousands of l'ips. The proees-sion passed on, ana a few minntes Inter the- firine of the Roval salute in- timated that the Royal party had reached I Westminster The opening ceremony itself was carried out with all the old-tin.-e pomp anr! splendour, and the scene in the House of Lords was & magnificent one. Besides the Prince an. Princess of Wales, who occupied their seats to the right and left of the Throne, there vero present Prince and Princess Henry of Prussia, Princess Henry of Battenberg. and many other members of the Royal Family now in town. Every part of the Mouse w:.s, of course, crowded, and the reading of the Speech was listened to with intense interest. It contained pretty much w!\at was expected—a declara- tion that the financial situation created by tile hangiug-up" of the Budget must be 'ealfc with at the earliest possible moment, and that proposal would 00 brought forward with convenient speed t<> define the relations be- tween the Houses of Parliament, to as to secure the undivided authority of the House of Commons over finance and its predominance in legislation. So PaiUament is once more at work. The issues at stake are grave, and all eyes are turned towards Westminster—every move of the Government is being closely and anxiously watched. The intense interest which the Parliamen- anxiously watched. The intense interest which the Parliamen- tary situation oontinues to excite is over- shadowing to some extent the London County Council elections. Both the Progressives and Municipal Reformers are, however, hard at work, and the battle promises to be a hardly- fought one. The hoardings in all parts of London are bright with flaring posters de- picting the virtues and failings of either party, and everywhere the printed appeals to Vote for So-and-so are greatly in evidence. The meetings arranged b_> either side are growing in proportion and enthusiasm with every day that passes. Of course, both sides are confident of victory! Doubtless both will become more and more so until election day comes along and shatters the hopes and ex- pectations of one or the other. Of a very large number of big exhibitions and pageants which are to be held in England during the summer, three of the most import- ant will be seen in London. These are the Japan-British Exhibition, the Festival of Em- pire, and the Army Pageant. The arrange- ments for the two first-mentioned are already well in hand, and I have referred to them be- fore but the promotion of the Army Pageant is as yet only in its initial stage. It is, how- ever, to be on a most elaborate scale, and al- ready a magnificent spectacle is assured. The Advisory Committee in charge of the arrange- ments have no easy task in selecting suitable men for the leading characters, and I believe that the Duke of Wellington, the Duke of Marlborough, George II., the Black Prince, William the Conqueror, and King Alfred have all to be chosen yet. The most difficult of all to find seems to be a worthy representa- tive of the hero of Waterloo. Are there no "Iron Dukes" in these days, then? The National Gallery has just received a very welcome and exceedingly interesting gift, in the shape of Bastien Lepage's portrait of Sir Henry Irving. The donor, I believe, is Miss Ellen Terry. The portrait, although painted on a small scale, is perhaps the most beautiful one existing of the great actor. It shows Irving seated at his writing-table, and only the intimately wrought head is finished, the rest of the picture being left quite sketchy. Lepage's "Irving" is well worthy of a place in the National Gallery. It is a beautifully sincere portrait of one of the greatest men of the ninet-eenth century. Miss Terry's very acceptable gift is, by the way, onlv one of a number of interesting additions recentlv made to the Portrait Gallery. The others include Watts's magnificent portrait of the "Marquess of Ripon in his robes, Sir Francis Grant's full-length portrait of Sir James Brooke. a miniature of Edward Gibbon Wakefield, and a drawing of James Stark. We are to have quite a feast of opera of all descriptions this year. "Elektra" has been a brillir-nt success, and so far Mr. Thomas Beecham's season promises to be in every way a satisfactory one. So well pleased is he, in fact, with the manner in which the public have appreciated his enterprising efforts, that in addition to fixing an autumn season at Covent Garden he has arranged with Sir Herbert Tree for an eleven weeks' season of light opera at His Majesty's, commencing on May gth—practically coterminous, in fact, with the grand season at Covent Garden. So far as arranged at present, the programme of the season will include, besides a number of novelties, Bizet's Carmen," Humper- dinck's Hansel and Gretel," Ambroise Thomas's "Mignon." Mozart's "Marriage of Figaro," Stanford's "Shamus O'Brien," Massenet's "Werther." "Marion," and "Cen- drillon," Strasss's "Die Flederman's," Offen- bach's Center d'Hoffmann," and Messager's "La Basoche." All the performances are to bo given in English, so that the light opera season should appeal to a very wide public. Sir Hiram Maxim's biplane is exciting great interest in aeronautical circles. The world- famous inventor is convinced that his new machine will rtnU>/ solve the problem of flight. It is an absolutely new type, I be- licve—Maxim in every inch. The whole of it has been built to Sir Hiram's own ideas, which are the outcome of years of patient research, experiment, and observation. It is said that to protect the various new inven- tions which it embodies more than a dozen patents would have to be obtained. The new aeroplane, which has been built at the works of Messrs. Viekers, Sons, and Maxim, near Dartford. is to bo tested on an adjoining track one of these days. Then we shall be able to determine wnother it is rvniiy going to solve the problem of flight or not. The sohame for the linking-up of the London charities which has been drawn up bv the Lord Mayor and the Chairman of the L.C.C. is an interesting one. Of its import- ance no one, I think, who knows anything about the administration of charities, and who realises the waste consequent upon the pre- sent lack of co-operation and the frequent overlapping which takes place, will have any doubt. What is actually proposed is the for- mation of a. central association—to be called the Social Welfare Association for Lon- don of the largest chari- table institutions and of those societies ar.d persons interested in social work. It will, I understand, include representatives of every public authority, each groiip of charities in London, religious communities, city companies, and the Trades Union Council and National Conference of Friendly Societies. Without interfering with the societies already engaged in registration of relief and organisation of charity, such an association ought to be able to do a great work in the way of making the network of relief complete. The planning of the inauguration of the, scheme is, at any rate, in good "hands, for supporting the Lord Mayor and Sir Melvill BeaoJic-roft are the Arch- bishop of Canterbury, the Archbishop of Westminster, Lord George Hamilton, the Earl of Lichfield, the Right Hon. Herbert Samuel, M.P., the Chief Rabbi, and Dr. Scott Lidpett.

Heavy loss of life and widespread damage we re caused by the gale which raged on Sunday and on Saturday. Three large ships were loe.-t with all hands, and a mail train was wrecked in Ireland. The Channel creamer from Boulogne to Folke- stone. with 129 passenger3 for London on board. was unable to land her passengere, and had to stand out to sea again.

I doubt vb.her there arc any institutions tvhich could give a more saiisfactory account C't the ,s,i!■ :s;4''fr.iHis lII MI the above, which I this vear will c;kiebr;ite its jubilee- Since its formation it has made ix-rnusiieai provision for more than 4,000 persons at a, total cost of £650,OeU. At present 1,000 are in receipt of pensions. The institution has ai\\a\ been uu- ostentatious, a.; id it has had generous sup- port but. its sphere of good work e;;uhl—un- fortunately—be easily increased :i! Uio financial means wore available, i. is r:c\;tly co,s,.iered that, now is a roost fitting time for making a greater efiori even than lias been, aaade in the ¡ past. Among the celebrations of. Ihe institu- tion's splenuid work during the past fifty vears a <<> -r is being jvrranged,. ai.d the I Prince of '.Y.ales has consented to; take the chair. This is another of the innumerable ,J ,L (t'¿j I.L services of the Royal Family to agriculture, and at the lea-st we ought to recognise it by supporting the institution more generously. WHEAT DUES SING: Owing to the difficulty on some heavy clay lands of getting the full acreage of winter wheat sown, and to the high prices a.t pre- sent ruling for wheat, no doubt there will be a large acreage of spring wheat sown. The i'-nv Erenoh wheats seem likely to be useful for this purpose on account of their early ripening qualities. Mr. W. E. Sawyer sug- gests in the Journal of the Board of Agri- culture that to preserve the seeds from rooks, which in the early spring are apt. to be troublesome, a good way is after the usual anti-smut dressing of blue vitriol to dress the wheat as follows: Thin down with paraffin a pint of -coal tar to make it work easily. This will be sufficient to dress six bushels of wheat, which should be spread on the barn floor and sprinkled with the mixture, turning the seeds five or six times until they are ll uniformly black. Then sprinkle powdered lime over them, and turn again until they are coated with the lime; this is necessary to prevent the wheat from sticking together or blocking up the drill. This and the anti-smut dressing .increase the bulk of the ends some what, and mrst be allowed for in setting the drill for the quantity of seed to be drilled pe* acre. The seed retains the cost of tar, but the dress- illg in no way affects the germinativn. GOOD AND POOR FERTILISERS. It has very appropriately been said recently that whatever reasons there may be in favour of any fertilisers there are always two in fav- our of using the best. My readers will do well to bear these important reasons in mind. Heaps of money are thrown away at this time of the year upon inferior purchases. It is plain that the cost of handling is one of the heaviest items the farmer eventually has to meet. But this expense is the same for a ton of fertiliser containing 1 per ceiit. plant food as for a ton of fertiliser containing 2 or more per cent. Concentrated, good quality materials necessarily command a higher price, but the difference is not always proportional to the difference in actual plant food, the high-grade materials as a rule being cheaper, pound for pound, of actual plant food. If purchasers of commercial fertilisers would only get into the habit of calculating the number of pounds of plant food in a ton of every fertiliser in which they are interested, they might often be surprised to note how much they might have saved on the quantities of plant food they have been purchasing, or how much more plant food they might have purchased for the same money. But there is vet another and a better reason for using the concentrated fertilisers- As a rule that has but few exceptions, the more concentrated the materials from which the fertiliser is made the more suitable they are as food for plants. Farmers will get concentrated ferti- lisers whenever they decline to accept the other kind. Dy purchasing concentrated fer- tilisers they will save on the cost of actual plant food, and they will not get low-grado nitrogen and potash materials. I it » it IN MILK COWS. The active trade for cows in milk in nine months out of the twelve is clear proof of the importance of the new milk business. It is true that the produce of a large number of cows, especially in the western counties and in the south-west of Scotland, is made into "3' cheese. But it is the enormous consumption of new milk in London and other centres of population that has made the breeding and rearing of dairy stock so profitable a pursuit in the remoter districts, especially in Cumber- land and Westmorland, which have so long been noted for the milking properties of their Shorthorns. Indeed, for years past good dairy cows have been among the most market- able class of stock whioh farmers possess. It is common to read in market and district re- ports that cows in milk are insufficient to meet the demand, and that prices run to a, high level. This position is not peculiar to any season, but with the possible exception of a few weeks in the height of the grass period when milk is plentiful it is noticeable throughout the year. At present, the ge.ncral experience certainly is that deep milking cows are more difficult to find than customers ready to pay high prices for them. it THE SUFFOLK HORSE. It is exceedingly interesting to learn that a famous team of Suffolks has just been pur- chased by a well-known showman for the pur- pose of advertising his travelling shows. This may even lead to a wider demand for this one of three types of draught horses in Britain. The Shire and the Clydesdale have many characteristics in common, but the Suffolk stands on a plane by itself. It is acknowledged to be an ideal breed for agri- cultural purposes, quick at work, and a wil- ling slave when the task is arduous. As a race it is practically confined to East Anglia, and the county from which it takes its name in particular. The encroachment of the heavier race, which sprang from the fertile Fen districts, has somewhat curtailed the sphere of the Suffolk Punch, but the demand for geldings of this type is invariably greater than the supply. The East Anglian chestnut is modelled after the Flemish and Norman style of draught horse so popular in the United States, the absence of hair at the heels being considered a great advantage. The bodv is big and bulky, but not so weighty as the Shire. INTERNATIONAL AGRICULTURE. I am keenly in sympathy with any attempt to make agriculture much more an interna- tional business. Each "country has something to learn from the others, and by the inter- change of experience much can be done to improve the efficiency of all. The methods adopted in different countries even for the attainment of similar objects vary very greatly, and it is thought that the comparison of the various systems and the discussion of methods in an international as- sembly will be productive of good results. With that object in mind. an International Congress of Agricultural Associations is to be held at Brussels from September 19th to 22nd, 1910, in connection with the Brussels Exhibi- tion. It is pointed out in the preliminary programme that the association of growers in societies and unions constitutes one of the most powerful factors in the advancement of agriculture. The Congress will be divided into ten sec- tions, as follows: (1) Societies representing agriculture or horticulture in general (2) Farmers' Associations, Societies, or Clubs; (3) Associations for production (cattle and sheep breeding, milk control, improvement of seed); (4) Societies for co-operative manufac- ture, purchase, export, sale, consumption, &c. Co) Credit banks and Societies for live- stock insurance and other forms of thrift; (6) Demography and hygiene (including housing); (7) Agricultural labour; (8) Means of trans- port \!J\ Other measures for the improvement of ,th" condition of the agriculturist, including public lighting and water supply, public am use men is. diffusion of small holdings, rural housing, market gardening for workmen, &c.; (10) Organisation of inquiries, shows, and exhibitions, distribution of information by agricultural societies, &c. Any societies or private persons can participate in the Con- gress, the subscriptions for each person or re- presentative being fifteen francs.

THE .WEEK'S GARDENING. IN THE FLOWER GARDEN. Plenty of fresh air is essential to the health of Violet plants. Frames containing them should be opened every fine day indeed, there are not many days on which they cannot be opened for an hour or two. But -do not let the plants get too dry. Remove dead leaves daily. Dust soot between the plants to prevent slugs eating the foliage. Carnation plants growing in the open gar- den need guarding against the depredations of sparrows. These birds lia^o the mis- chievous habit of nipping off the ends of the leaves and also the point of the main growth of Carnations and Pinks at this time of year. Surround each plant with a few sticks a foot high or so, and wind black thread or cotton around and over them. When the sparrow attempts to re-aeh the plants hi- becomes scared by the unseen cotton. A great deal of disappointment will be saved if it is known that bulbs which have been > forced in pots or grown in bowls or glasses of water are of no use for similar culture next season. All that can be done is to keep those which have been forced growing steadily in a. cool house, watering moderately; and the. others, after their flowers fade, must be taken out of the water and potted in any light soil, and similarly treated. If the leaves die down it will not matter. In May plant all out in che garden borders, where in time they will | recover. The Lilac, one of the most popular decidu- ous flowering shrubs, was introduced from Persia in 1597, over 300 years ago. It is strong growing, averaging eight to ten feet in height Persian Lilac, with much smaller lanceolate leaves and light parole flowers, 19 a. dwarfer plant, and ha.s abundant bloom, which sometimes entirely covers the plants. Lilacs force remarkably well, and may be had in flower at Christmas. Old Lilacs having flower buds can be dug up. divested of un- necessary shoots, and forced into bloom per- fectly in mid-winter in any dark, warm place. They are usually propagated from suckers, Forming excess of suckers is their bane, and these must be frequently removed. Lilacs may very satisfactorily be grafted upon Ash tiee | stocks or Privet. Ranunculus tubers should be planted wiui the claw downwards. It is advisable to make drills with a uniform depth of 2in., 4irt. be- tween each, in a good medium clayey land. Sprinkle the drills over with fine sand, and thon gently press the tubers into the soil a little distance apart. Cover the crowns witu sand, and fill up the drill with a sifted sandy soil. Ranunculuses require very little atten- tion, but must be protected from frost. As the leaves are coming to the surface they bring soil with them, so that it is better to press the tuber a second time very lightly. Au. occa- sional mulching with decayed manure should be given, and when watering ba careful not to wet the leaves. Withhold water when in bloom. Tubers of these delicate and. brilliant flowers are exceedingly cheap, so. that every garden should have a. display. One of the chief growers and raisers of Sweet Peas says that leaf-mould should never come in contact with the seed of these plants, as, on germinating, the rootlets will not enter it,' and consequently rot. Most gardeners use a. good deal of leaf-mould, mixed with loam, for the pots and boxes in which. they sow their seed. This is done partly as a. stimulant, but chiefly to prevent the roots- getting broken when they are transplanted, owing to the soil caking round them. This may have been the cause of many plants failing that were sown in soil of which too <, much leaf-mould was a+ the top of the pot. The better way would be to put it alone at the bottom of pots and boxes, and to fill up with loam and sand-of course using much more loam than sand. HERBACEOUS PLANTS. From the present time to the end of March is an excellent period for planting almost all herbaceous occupants of bed and border. Autumn planting is desirable for those sub- jects which bloom very early in the year, but there are others which move more easily and root more certainly and successfully if they are shifted just as activity recommences in the spring. The preliminary work is impor- tant. The soil should be deeply dug. Where manure is necessary it should be worked into the second spit, and not into the surface layer of earth. The soil shouhl be made moderately firm again before planting is proceeded with. When lifting the plants a good ball of soil should be raised attached to each root. The fdanfcs should be replanted as promptly as possible in each case. Exposure to the air is, perhaps, the greatest cause of danger and in jury in replanting. It retards re-establish- ment and checks subsequent progress. After planting, the soil should be rendered firm about the ball by careful working. Planting should not be attempted in any case when the soil is sodden with wet or frozen. VEGETABLES AND FRUIT. Strawberries in pots may now be forced for an early supply. At first they must be dealt with very gently. Start them in a low pit, filled with tree-leaves or tan, and bring them into the house when coming into bloom. The blossoms will need to be fertilised. When the fruit is set, more water should be given, and the temperature increased to 55dcg. at night. If Strawberry beds were not cleaned over Hi the autumn this should ba done at once, f removing all weeds, dead leaves, and rubbish, but disturbing the soil as little as possible. If anything of the kind is judged necessary, now is "a good time to give a sprinkling of bone- ineal or superphosphate, between tne plants, pricking it in very lightly with a fork. Do not apply the mulch of stable manure yet; it is too soon, and ApriJ is time enough for this. Nitrate of soda or sulphate of ammonia ought not to be put on until just before mulching, these saltit are very rapid in action, and arc soon washed out of the soil. A pieca of ground which has been deeply dug without manure being added will be in good condition for receiving Parsnip seed, which may be sown any time from now until the end of March in narrow drills about fifteen inches apart. Do not waste the seed by scat- t-ering it after the manner of Mustard and Cre-;s; work will be quite plentiful enough iuter on without the extra labour of clearing an overcrowded Parsnip bed. Therefore, drop a few seeds along the drills at six or eight inches apart, and, after sowing, rake the bed down fine, leaving it so until the seedlings are in the true leaf; they may then be singled ou^> and a good dressing of soot given and well lioed in. Frequent use of the hoe, and another dressing of soot a month after the first, will be all th« care needed. be all the care needed. THE CULTURE OF BEANS. The first early crop of Runner "Beans ought to be sown in pots and started in the green- house in March, keeping the plants on a moist place, and syringing them daily to pre- vent the attacks of red-spider. Thev should have plenty of air, and only enough warmth to keep out the froat, a cold frame being the best place for the pots as soon as the weather permits. They can be planted out in May, and immediately staked, giving each plant six iuchtis of room around it, and pro- tecting them fro:a the cold winds and frosts, !f necessary, until the end of that month. A trench to contain two rows of seeds with six Q¿' more inches between the two will suit these Beans, and mulching, hoeing, &c., will be beneficial, too. Runner Beans should he sown in the open border; some the first week in May. and another row during the first week in June, for succession. Dwarf French Beans can be grown on the same lines as the Runnei Beans, excapt that they prefer to be raised 011 a slight I-itlge if the soil be heavy and damp, as they require much sun. They may be sown in pots or boxes for the earliest nork. and it is usual to plant them out in May; or sown in the open border at the end of April, for general purposes. For later sr wings it is a good plan to soak the seed for a few hours in tepid water before putting it in, and to cover it with a little good soil and decayed leaves. This will ensure sufficient' moisture'during the early stages of growth.

OELICIOUS -SUSTAFNING- ur COA,

| THE TERRIFIC GALE. ISKIP WRECKED AND TWENTY-FOUR LIVE i LOST OFF IRELAND. B O A T S G F, E W S I) R O W NED. A hurricane, reaching an occasional speed of oighty mites an hour, sjwept the country on Sunday, following thi-vo successive days of intermittent gales. Such a storm is without precedent in February, and has not been equalled in any month since the late eighties. The worst disaster caused by the storm has occurred on the Irish coast, near the Old Head of Kinsale, where the Italian ship, F. S. Ciainpa, was wrecked, with the loss of her crew of twenty-four. Ore at damage has* been done on land, and several death} are reported- DEATHS BY SEA AND LAXU. The F. S. Ciampa, a ship of 1,478 tons, which belonged to was in Dunworlev Bay, ii-s-r the Old Head of Kin- sale, on Friday night. She was coming from Chili with a cargo of nitrate, a::d was driven on to the rocks west of the Seven Heads, and soon commenced to break m>. fishermen on the Seven Heads, observing lights burning on the vessel, notified tho coastguards at Court- macsherrv. and the coastguards within twenty minutes set out by land with the rocket appa- ratus for the headland nearest the scene; but when they reached there not a trace of the vessel or her crew of twenty-four could be seen. As three yachtsmen were leaving the shore at BurnhsJm-on-Croueh on Saturday night in the "-ale the dinghy they were in overturned. Two of its occupants, Mr. Charles Gains- bo-gh Green, aged thirty-nine, of Holm- w Surrey, and Mr. Sidney St. John Hil- lia. aged* forty-six, of Islington, were drowned. A ferry-boat, containing five persons cap- sized in crossing from Appledore to Instow on Saturday, and two of the occupants, Oii-.rlie Cudinore and Dick Lane, were drowned. A third man, Thomas Fishwick, was rescued in an exhausted condition, but died soon afterwards. A boat with men in it, and flying signals of distress, was seen on the rocks at Tenby on Saturday. Presently it disappeared, and the lifeboat, which put out, could find no trace of the crew. A lad named Fred Day was blown over a cliil at Western Hill, Appledore, and killed ell Saturday. During Thursday's gale at Liverpool Syd- ney Oiilett, thirteen, was knocked down by an uprooted tree and his skull was fractured. lie died on Saturday. George Bedlow, seventy, of Bishop Auck- land, who was blown down by the gale and had his skull fractured, died on Monday. LOCAL PREACHER KILLED. A local preacher named John Herringshaw, af Leamington, was sheltering from the storm an the road from Marton to Long Itchington, n>n Sunday night, when the elm tree under which he was standing was felled by light- ning, and Mr. Herringshaw was killed. He had conducted afternoon and evening services $!.t. Martori, and was proceeding to Long Itchington to join other local preachers who wore returning to Leamington by conveyances. SCENES IN LONDON. In London it was dangerous to be in tlie streets. Slates and broken windows were fall- ing everywhere, and so sudden were the gusts that many people only escaped injury through hearing a crash and dodging into doorways to avoid whatever was coming down. A tree in the front garden of a house in Brixton-road was uprooted by the gale on Sunday evening and blown across the tram lines, completely blocking traffic for some time. The roofs of three houses in London were blown off. One was in Josephine Avenue, Brixton, one in Cloudesley-road, Islington, and one in Woolwich-road, Charlton. While the Turner room in the National Gallery was crowded with people on Satur- day a number of wipdows in the roof were blown in, the glass falling about the floor. Four big plate-glass windows in the front of a public-house in Kentish Town were blown in on Sunday afternoon. To the alarm of the passengers, the County Council double-decked trains actually bent under "the fury of the gale when passing over the In some cades the destination boards were stripped from their sides and blown away. An eye-witness says that in York-road, Battersea, a tramcar heeled over so much that the wheels on one side were several inches from the rails. The National Telephone Company reported that between two and three hundred lines were down in London alone. COAST STREWN WITH WRECKAGE. Woolacombe Sands, six miles from Ilfra- combe, were strewn with wreckage, including the masts of a steamer, lifebelts, and three boats broken in half. On pieces of board, supposed to be portions of a boat, are the words s.s. Odd (?), Sunderland, and also s.s. Agra. It is feared that the vessels foundered during the gale. FIRE AT WELSH MOUNTAIN TOP. Following a terrific thunderstorm on Sun- day evening, which shattered several trees in the churchyard and parks of Llangollen, the pavilion used for catering purposes on the summit of the mountain dominated by the historic ruins of Castell Dinas Bran burst into flames and illuminated the surrounding countryside, the outlines of the ancient for- tress "standing out in bold relief. Evidently the lightning had struck the pavilion, and the woodwork had been fanned into a blaze. The pavilion was destroyed. STORM INCIDENTS. The coastguards' and other buildings at Lydd suffered severely, the slates being stripped from the roofs, and several of the fishermen's huts blown over. At Plymouth, one of the pinnacles of the western tower of St. Peter's Church was blown down while evening service was pro- ceeding, and, crashing through the roof, fell close to the forit. The debris fortunately fell clear of the congregation, and no one was in- jured. The sev ice was continued. The Muml s Pier roller-skating pavilion was demolish.ti by the gale. Great havoc has been wrought among farm stocks in Yorkshire, buildings and stacks hav- ing been completely wrecked. Heavy snow and rain have fallen in the Lothians, and the rivers have overflowed. When the wind was travelling at eighty miles an hour it tore a sail from a windmill at Hadleigh, Suffolk, and hurled it through the roof of the miller's house. A bedroom was wrecked; those in the house had very narrow escapes. Two horses died an unusual death at Bray, County Wicklow. A ^ck of hay near which they were sheltering mew over and suffocated them. In the mountains of the same district the wind wrecked a cottage. One of the occu- pants was severely injured- The gable end of a house at Preston col. lapsed with a great crash on Monday morn- ing. When people rushed in td rescue two children who were in bed, they were found safe and still asleep. Tha spire of the Town Hall was blown out of the perpendicular. A portion of the east window of Bishop West's Chapel, Ely Cathedral, was blown out during the gale.

NOVEL LABOUR EXCHANGE. Success has attended a Labour Exchange and Insurance Against Unemployment Society which has been established in Haslemere. The treasurer has a balance of over £300. and work haa been so good in the district that the amount paid out has been compara- tively small.

A woman, giving evidence at Clerkenwell County Court on Monday, stated that she worked from nine o'clock in tha morning till eight at night for 12s. ner week. Otters are largely on the increase in the upper reaches of the Thames, and many fine fish have been killed by them. Mr. Roosevelt is expected to arrive in London on May 10th, and will stay with Mr. Whitelaw Re id at Dorchester Hous., Park-lane. Mme. Dervicux. aged sixty, has been arrested at Lille for firing a revolver from her balcony at a tax-collector who was about to enter her house.
