V IP ■ SAD END OF A LLANBRADACH I CHILD. A pathetic incident came to light at an inquest held at Llanbradach on Friday, concerning the death of Sarah Ruth Poole, the six year old daughter of Ilri Poole, 63, School Street, whose body was found on Wednesday, in what is known as the Quarry pond. Mr Ruth Poole, a widow, stated that the deceasod was missing from home on Tuesday night. She last saw her alive at 9 o'cloa ou Tuesday morning when she left for school. Witness was on duty at the Caerphilly hospital that day, and the child was left in charge of her son 18 years of age. Deceased came home to dinner Rnd tea. Her body was found in the Quarry pond. Witness had five children, one being younger than de- ceased. There had been no disagree- ment that day. At 10 o'clock when it came bed time, it was found the child was missing and the mother reported to the police, a search was made until the early hours of next morning without re.-ult. Dorothy Lilian Jewell, of School Street, said, that at 6 p m. she, in company with deceased, went to the Post Office to deposit some money, and subsequently went to the Quarry pond to catch tadpoles. Th-ey came back to the town together, and parted company, deceased saying she was going home. Evidence of the recovery of the body havirg been given by Mrs Edwards, Stanley Terrace, the coroner in his summing up pointed out that undoubtedly deceased had met bar death by returning to the pond for some tadpoles for her brother. An open verdict of found drowned" was returned. P.S. D. Davies, in answer to the coroner, said he had made en- quiries as to raraonrs in the district, that children were sent from scthool to collect specimens for object lessons, and found there was no truth what- ever in such allegation1 ■i > ■■.•in

I BEER v. BREAD. ONE PINT PER BEAO PER DAY FOR 10,000,000 PEOPLE. i PRESS BUREAU, Friday. | Mr Kennedy Jones, M. n., in the oearse of a letter to a correspondent, after defending certain points criticised in his Edinburgh speech, proceeds The whole question of beer v bread is one of policy for which I have no official responsibility. It is a question which rests with tbe War Cabinet, I do not see why those who do hot like beer, and have no incentive to I drink it, should seize this opportunity ¡ to force their personal views on men who do require beer to enable them to continue their work, and, may I add, that the present output of beer only produces one pint per head per day for ten million people.

LARGEST AND SMALLEST BOOKS. I In the gret library of the Britislt Museum is to be soon th largest book ia the world. This ia an atlas of beautifully- ojigravk,cl Dutch maps, bouud in leather and fastened with clanpo of eolid silver. It ia nearly 7ft. high, weighs 8001b., and wa- pre- sented to Charles IT. héore leaving Holland in the year 1660. Side by h-ide with it is five suialhxt book in tho woi-id--a aileroscol)ic gom of book-making, scarcely larger than a man's thumb-nail. This contains the New Testament, inscribed by a German artist of Nuremberg iu the early part of the seven- toenth celiturv. There are 208 pages, and the lettering is so perfect that it can be read without difficulty. The book measures thiee-cjuarters of an inch by two-fifths. <

ORIGIN OF PARTY NAMES I The iiiirjjc, Whig" really mearw ,~oiir milk," and was mockingly applied by the Koyalists to the Parliamentary Party and the Scottish Covenanters in the reign of Charlc.s I. The term "Tory" was first used in the reign of Charles II. to indicate the supporters to the claim of the Duke of York (later James 11.) to the throne. It was iu the reign of Queen Anne that the terms Whig and Tory were firtst used in speaking of the two great parties in Parliament. Later the Whig* came to be known as Liberals and the Tories as Conservatives.

WITH MANY USES. I The first place of worship in Western Aus- tralia was (i-.iite unique both from its frail form of construction and also the several purposes to which it was devoted. This re- markable building was made at Perth, then merely a town site, by soldiers of The 2nd Company 63rd Regiment, shortly after the detachmettt arrived at the colony in 1829, and was composed almost entirely of bul- rushes. In addition to this rude little edi- fice being used ca ys for Divine wor- ehip. it sometimes wired as an amateur theatre during tn. week, and was used dur- ing the whole timo as a barracks.

ON GATE-POSTS. j Do you know that the gate-post has a gruesome association with the cruel past? L'robubly you have never suspected this, especially as the feature referred to fre- quently adorns the approach to a modern garden, suburb residence. However, the fact remains, that gate-posts are frequently sur- mounted with a ball of wood or stone, whici lH nothing less than the survival of a bar- baric practice of our forefathers who spiked the heads of their enemies killed in battle on the gate-poists of the approach leading to their hou&eg.

CHINESE MACARONI. I The "macaroni beans'' of North Man- ehims aeoneiinied entirely by the Chinese farmers. The beans are of two kinds-a red and yellow variety that is very Houry and a small green bean that is unusually glutinous —and for use the two are mixed together, ground into flour, and made into a paste, which is forced through small holes into long strings. These dry quickly and keep well in any climate. They are cooked in water, like macaroni or vermicelli, and this method of using givee the beans their trade I uame.

PREACHING SERVICES AT I GRAIG. Highly successful preaching ser- vices were held at the above place of worship, last Sunday and Monday. The preachers for the occasion were the Revs. Edwin Jones, of Glantaf, and Dr. Peter Price, of Rhos, North Wales, both of whom delighted the very large audiences, which came together to all the services. The weather was beautifully fine, and drew an unusually large number from the surrounding district, especially from Bhyttmey and Dowlais. The singing, which was of a high stand- ard was conducted by Mr W. S. Davies, and Mr David Morris effici- ently presided at the organ, A large number of the local ministers attended the meetings on Monday. The fol- lowing took part in the introductory positions; The Revs. J. R. Davies, Tabernacle, W. R. Davies, Trelil, Rhys D. Jenkins, Goshen, and T. H. Jenkins Nantymoel, and the Rev. R. E. Peregrine, B.D., gave out the hymns throughout Monday. < ■ ii. res I
