Household Hints. .0 [By" DOROTHY."] THE GOLDEN RULE FOR FURNISHING. This appeared in the Queen lately, and is as follow:—The furniture in your house should be suitable to your life and occupation. Have a well-defined plan when you begin to furnish, and remember that what is not suit- able is rarely pleasmg. When you have made your rooms thoroughly comfortable and prac- tical, then try and make them picturesque. RIBBON WAFERS. To one pound of fine sugar add a quarter of a pound of flour and the peel of two lemons beat three eggs well, then add the other in- gredients to them. Grease some tin sheets or shallow pans with melted butter, and roll out the paste very thin; when the wafers are half done, roll them round your fingers and return them to the oven again to get crisp. FRENCH CUTLETS. Take six cutlets off a neck of mutton, remove the fat, and trim them into a nice shape. Mix together in equal parts finely- chopped ham and bread crumbs, with a quarter of the quantity of chopped parsley..Before frying the cutlets dip ihem in egg, then roll them in the bread crumbs, ham, and parsley. Fry a light brown; arrange them on a dish, and put them in the oven to dry before serving. Garnish with slices of lemon and pickled gherkins, and just before serving squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the cutlets. 1 OBSTER CUTLETS. Mince the meat of the lobsters fine, season with salt and spice, melt a piece of butter in a saucepan, mix with it one tablespoonful of floor, add the lobster and a little finely- chopped parsley, add a little stock also, and let it come to a boil; remove from the fire, and stir into it the yolks of two eggs, spread this mixture in a shallow pan; when cold, cut into outlet shapes, dip carefully m beaten egg, then in brend-orumbs, and fry to a rich brown colour in hot lard. CHEESE SALAD. Take ilb of American Cheddar cheese, pound it in a mortar with one large tomato that has been peeled and passed through a sieve then flavour with a powdered bayleaf. a small pinoh of salt, a dash of pepper, and a morsel of onion very finely chopped; add enough olive oil and tarragon vinegar to mix the pounded cheese to the consistence of moyonnaise, and pour the mixture over the salad, which should consist of endive, water- cress, lettuce, and mustard and cress. Garnish I with half-moon shaped piec.s of beetroot, and one hard boiled egg cut into slices. POTATO PIE. Parboil half a dozen large, even-sized potatoes and one medium-sized Spanish onion; also boil an egg bard, and melt two ounces of good butter. Cut the potatoes in qnarter-incb slices, ohop the onion finely, and season it pleasantiy with salt and pepper; chop the ;gg into dice, but kpep it apart. Coat the inside of a pio-dish of the requisite size with a spoonful of the butter, and sprinkle a little of the chopped onion at the bottom upon this arrange a layer of the potatoes, each slice being dipped separately into the butter, then add a little of the egg, more chopped onion, and another layer of potatoes, repeating in this order until the dish is sufficiently full, and letting potatoes form the topmost layer. If any butter remains over, add it to the pie with sufficient milk to nicely moisten the whole. Cover with a nice light crust, then finish off, bake, and serve in the usual way. CHARACTER IN EARS. Ears betoken character. You never saw a poet or painter with large, coarse ears that stand out from the head like extended wings. That kind of an auricular appendage betokens coarseness of mind. A long, narrow ear, that lies flat to the bead, is a sign of pugnacity. Never trust a man with a thin, water-like ear. He was born a hypocrite, if not a thief. A very small ear betokens a trifling mind, lack- ing in decision. Ears set very high on the head indicate narrowness of mind. A large, well-shaped ear, that does not spread itself too much to the breeze, is indicative of generosity. Most of the world compellers had large ears, as well as well-developed noses. Although there are so many millions of people in the world, no two pairs of ears are alike. J';acb has a marked individuality. REMEDY FOR BURNS. Glycerine has recently been recommended by an eminent German physician as a remedy for burns. No matter what kind of burn it is as soon as possible apply bandages saturated with glyoerine. This application, he also affirms, relieves the pain very quickly and secures rapid healing, as the burned surface becomes covered with a sort of crust, which protects tho sensitive flesh beneath. COLD CREAM. A simple rule for cold cream is as follows: —One drachm of white beeswax, two oonces of almond oil, and one ounce of spermacetti. Put all these ingredients in a small cup, set it in boiling water, and stir the mgredtents till they are melted and thoroughly incorporated. Add, if you wish, about a drachm of green camphor, which should be broken up fine before it is added, and then stirred in until it is melted. Pour the cold cream into little I Jars, in which it is to be kept, and let it get hard. j'he camphor is not a necessary in- gredient, but it is an agreeable one, and is supposed to add to the healing qualities of the preparation. This is very much better than the ordinary preparation of this kind sold the shops, which is generally made of 1H ;i seldom or never of the pure vege- t ..il, like the oil of almonds or sweet olive oil, as it should be. FRICTION FOR RHEUMATISM. People who rub their arms or legs for rheu- matism should remember that the secret of the benefit derived from maasago ia that the oovrfttor alwftva rubs un-that ia, in the direc. tion of the heart. The reason is found in the fact that the valves of the veins and capil- laries all open towards the heart, and by rubbing in that direction the action of these vessels is assisted, the vessels themselves are enlarged, and circulation is more freely pro- moted. Rubbing down—that is, away from the heart-does harm, for it clogs the veins and capillaries by impeding the circulation without in the least assisting the action of the arteries, which lie too deep to be affected by external friction, even if it could do them any good. NERVES TO BE RECKONED WITH. Only a woman knows (says the HospitaP) what it really means to have one's nerves "on edge," or realises the exact nature of that mysterious desire to fly out of one's skin." But this we do know, that nerve discomfort is one of the most trying of all discomforts; and when we add this to the other troubles which woman is heir to it is really pathetic to think of the great army of workers-governesses, clerks, typewriters, and so on, who sally forth day after day, headachy, backachy, jarred in nerves, and with no opportunity of trying woman's universal and most efficacious panacea—"lyingdown." Nevertheless, many womnn love work, and all would probably be the happier for it. The remedy for their troubles, then, is not that work should be taken from them, but that they and the world in general should understand their capabilities, and see -firstly, that they do not take work, or any amount of work, beyond their strength and secondly, thet they so order themselves and their work that it shall be done efficiently, and at the same time at as little cost to themselves as may be, After all, women are but new-comers into the field of labour; they have their credit to keep up, or rather to win, their strength to hus- band, and their tools to learn the use of. It does not. in the least follow that because a woman fails once she must needs fail always; indeed, it stands to reason that she must have time to adjust herself to her new sphere; and until she has bad the time we can only say, speaking generally, that her powlr of hard work is not equal to man's, leaving it to time and to herself to show exaotly what she can and what she cannot do.

THE ALEXANDRA DOCK COMPANY, NEWPORT. Alleged Attempt to Extend a Monopoly. Much consternation and indignation was created among the ship-repairers of. Newport consequent upon a rumour which went the roundson Tuesday that the Alexandra Dock Company intended closing the dry dock to everybody except the dock company themselves fit the end of the month. The intimation was regarded as a serious menace to the prosperity and future development of the port, aud the ship-repairers, according to a state- ment made in a contemporary, intended taking immediate and vigorous action in opposition to the step. A CON TRADICTION OF THE RUMOUR. Our Newport representative writes.:—I have it on the authority of the local managing director of the Alexandra Dock Company (Colonel Lvae) that he knows of no action on the part of the company prohibiting the use of the company's graving dock for repairs by private firms, as stated in a con- temporary.

THROUGH TRAINS BETWEEN CARDIFF AND BARRY. Arrangements are still proceeding at the Cardiff end on the part of the Great Western Railway to establish through trains between Barry and Car- diff. On the part of the Barry Company the arrangements are practically complete, and it is expected that in the course of two or three months the matter will be an accomplished fact.

TEMPERANCE SUNDAY. We are asked by the South Wales Temperance Association to state that. following the custom for some v I",rll past, Sunday next is set apart for preaching and prayer for the furtherance of tem- pprano work.

I'rnt'i says:—"A speech delivered by the Koinan Ca.tholic liiskrop of Salford at a temperance meeting at Ashton-under-Lyne was so sensiblo and moderate that it deserves notice. The Btsltop suggested that, whilst strong beers should be taxed, the sale of light heers not above a certain minimum strength should he encouraged by being freell from duty. This is a doctrine that 1 have always preached. It is, indeed, a pity thnt more temperance reformers are not as reasonable and as practical as the Bishop of Salford." A large measure of the success of the Golden 8unlight Ale may be attributed to the fact that it is brewed on these lines, and will compare favourably with the ordinary high- coloured, strong, heady ales. It is brewed from malt prepared from the finest Herefordshire bar- ley, and most delicately Jtevoured with hops, called Wor'otars," but really grown in tne rich, fertile valleys of Herefordshire. Messrs. Watkrns and Son, of the Hereford Brewery, are the onJV brewers of this famous Ale,and-it is sold by over- 200 Agente of the North, South, East, ssnd West of the British asles, South Wales Office: 94, bt.

DAY BY DAY. ''Cigarette" reached itseaa hundredth perfor- mance last night. Mr, Thomas Lewis, M.P., who was taken suddenly in at the Rhyl co» £ ereuee, is getifeg all-right again. .e Maenbir aught really to go to a schodl where: Welsh is a specific subject. It does not becemcu Welsh bard to rhyme haul with hall. There are 221 school boards in South Wales,, and the spelling and gtammarof a lot of copy we get hflre every night testifies to the fact. The money collected voluntarily by the Barry District Trades' Council on behalf of the local cottage hospital and nursing association funds has now readied JE74. An example to be followedLast Sunday Mr D. T. Alexander, Bryneithen, threw open his. grounds to the public for the purpose of letting them see his splendid chrysanthemums. It is impossible not to sympathise with the Cnw- bridge man whose second wife, like his first, has just died soon after marriage. There is something very discouraging about a continuity of calami- ties. A yeung pair from the Rhoadda walked into the studio of a Swansea photographer, and the young man said "Pull, pull." "Pull what?" asked the artist. "Pull shape me, was the reply and pull shape she." Councillor Gerhold will say a piece at the concert to be given by the Cardiff Post-office Hand in aid of the infirmary next week. It would be well if some of the other councillors at Cardiff studied elocution a bit, and they ought to attend the said concert and take lessons. Husbands in Newport have a way of their own of making it warm for their wives. As a rule, it is the poker they wield (which, perhaps, is not peculiar to Newport, though the poker flourishes there like the green bliY tree), but yesterday a man got 21 days for attempting to set fire to his wife with a lamp. Alderman Sanders will have it that the Sunday Closing Act has been a success because the streets, so he says, are more orderly than before. Was sheerer nonsense ever tulked ? What of the thousand or twelve hundred shebeens ? Is a con- sumptive healthy because his face is round and not emaciated ? Alderman Sanders is talking to infants. Llanfairfechan folk have done a good thing' The whole of the debt, amounting to £1,695 incurred in the extension of Christ Church has been cleared off. C lonel and Mrs. Henry Plntt were the chief subscribers, giving £650. The value of the Communion table and windowjj, given by individual members of the congregation, is J6950. In the fiist week of September a commissioner held nn inquiry nc Poniypridd idative to the formation of a local board for Caerphilly. The inquiry only occupied a day, and now Caerphilly is getting a swelled head over its o'xn importance, which it infers from the fact that it has already taken eleven weeks to prepare the report, and that there ia yet no sign of it. Foxes are pleutiful just now around Llandyssul. while hare3 are few and far between. Mr. Pryse, Bwlchbychan's harriers visited Cefn Llanfair for a day's hunt. One hare was met with, which was soon lost. Touching this point, a correspondent writes to say that" the recent Close rieasen Bill for Hares is a farce, as she may be hunted nil the yeur round provided no sale thereof takes place." Welsh Nonconformists,especially the Calvinistic Methodic section of them, are particularly pleased over the elevation of Mr. W. Griffiths, Blackwood, to the u>aeisteri»l bench of Monmouth- shire, Mr. Griffiths is an Old Corphite all over, and is known in Calvinistic Methodist circles- how the Dissenters hke to ape clericalism—as Archddiacon Sir Fynwy" (Archdeacon of Mon- mouthshire). Judge Williams did not appear to sympathise with the local solicitor who lost his hat in a barber's shop and brought an action against the knight of the razor. The plaintiff contended that the defendant wae responsible for his property. but the judge said no. What am I to do with my hat when Iain being shaved r" "Hold it in your hand," .said the judge. And if it were my cont?" Sit. on it," said the judge. A prisoner who was before the Stipendiary at Merthyr yesterday on a charge of stealing a loaf of bread made the surprising declaration in proof of his innocence that he never ate anything. The statement was not intended to be accepted in its iteral sense, though, upon being pressed by the learned magistrate for a clear definition of hie meaning, the man in the dock vowed that he could very well subsist for days without consuming aught else than beer. Father Butler is a remarkable man. He declares that he can produce satisfactory evidence to prove that there isn't a single shebeen in his district, which is practically Adamsdown, and includes Tyndall street. Moreover, the reverend gentleir<an makes the interesting statement U at during the eleven years he has been in his district -only nine chitdrenhave been born out of wedlock. When we meet Father Butler we intend making him a pointed question or two on this point. Our London letter man expresses amazement at our modesty in not claiming the paternity of the joke which won the prize in the Million competi- tion Inst week. The London letter man is in fouch. We admit our modesty, but that wasn't what was the matter with us. There was a time when it annoyed us to see our paragraphs sold elsewhere as brand new productions warranted to wear without setting glossy, but that time is past. We have simplv been worried into indifference and now we don't mind a bent pin. Honesty is its own reward, otherwise there would be nothing to recommend it. A day or two ago two Cardiff policomen picked up just outside the Great Western RtilwayStation nine sovereigns, half a sovereign, seventeen shillings in silver, and a well-filled purse. One of the officers went on the platform with the purse and money m his hand, and he was immediately accosted by a lady, who told him the find" was hers. This fact was corroborated by her husband, and the mOllE:v-£40 in nil—was returned to the owner, who, with a nod and a "thank you," wnlked away, leaving the officer petrified with amazement at her generosity. ••A reader calls my attention (says Mr. Libouchere in Truth) to an extravagant para- graph in a South Wales paper recording the accession of Dr. Harriet, of Aberyntwith, to mem- bership of the Royal College of Physicians, and describing Dr. Harris's career in detail, and generally showing what a great and dis. tinguished m,'n he is. My correspondent wishes to know why this sort of thing is permitted by a profession which sets its face against advertising, and why it hns not been shown up in the medical papers. But I fee) !!ure that Dr. Harries himself must be as much distressed as anybody at the way he has been puffed, and that, my proper course is to condole with him over the indiscretion of his friends in the press." All we have to say to the foregoing is that we nr« not the South Wales paper referred to. Wales for the Welsh and for-tho English. The following is a correct copy of a manuscript notice posted at Rhigos (about two miles from Hirwain). It is not known if the writer is a member of tbe Hirwain Chamber of Trade :— RHIGOS PARISH. A meeting of the ratepayer* of tha sayed parish will he held at the Board School room on Friday next 25th instant at 7.30 pin To discuss the ppro- pritteneaaof the pending Election.

The Welsh journal is impatient with the Welsh Federation and with their official organ, and this week breaks out as follows:— The federations, especially that of the south, are utterly destitute of any claim to nationality, and yet they represent themselves as the National Council of Waiff The South Wales Daily News promises, in a long and ponderous article, to use its great influence to unite the different sections of the • Welsh party' by means of the societies con- trolled by Mr. R.

THE LAUREATSHIP. The Favourites of the Queen and Mr. Gladstone. Our London correspondent telegraphs:—I was assured by a well-known man on Wednesday that the appointment of a Poet Laureate is exercising Mr. Gladstone's mind a great deal more than the Home Rule Bill. That may be, seeing that the Home Rule Bill is now off his Ittind, at any rute till the resumption of the Cabinets. The Queen is also sorely exercised about the matter, and, although the story about the Empress Frederick pressing the ciaim of Mr. Kenny Rodd is manifestly untrne, I can quite conceive that the Queen's eldest daughter takes an interest in it. I am told that the Queen favours Sir Theodore Martin, while Mr. Gladstone hovers between Sir Edwin Arnold and Mr. Lewis Morris. Mr. Lewis Morris has, indeed been dubbed by some people the Deputy Laureate, because during the later days of Tennyson he so often wrote the national odes on national occasions. Further. I hear with surprise that Mr. Swinburne is now willing to accept the post. It that be so, it ought. to settle the question of succession, for without doubt Mr. Swinburne is our greatest poet. But I cannot se-e how he is to reconcile the singing of odes in honour of Royal persons and Monarchical functions with the maintenance of opinion,t of qtern Republicanism.

SINGULAR PROSECUTION AT ABERGAVENNY. Charge of Suborning a Witness. Husband and Wife Committed for Trial. At Abergavenny P.>lic. -court on Wednesday (before Colonel W. H. Wheeloy and Major Car- negie) John Parfitt and Ann, his wife, described us butchers, living a. Halod, near Pontypridd, were brought up on remand, charged with suborning Evan Morgan to commit perjury at Abergavenny on August 8 in testimony given in a case beard in Abergavenny County-court before his Honour Judge Owen. Mr- Corner (instructed by Mr. Hodgens> appeared as counsel tor the prosecutor), vi and Mr. D,.vid, of Cardiff, appeared for the defen- dants. Mr. Corner stated the facts in connection with the county-court case. and pointed out that on oi about the 20th of June Mr. Board, of Aber- gavenny, sold some sheep to John Parfitt for JE19 10s., and received a cheque which wxs twice dishonoured. He then went to Hafod and saw the Parfitts, and tin y gave him another cheque for £14 odd, a small cheque, and the remainder in cash. The cheque tor J614 was found to be wrongly eudorsed, and was returned by Mr. Board for correction, but. was sent back to him without being altered. He returned it again, but it was not again returned to him, and on the 21st of July he went to Hafod, when he saw Mrll. Pariitt. who said that her husband Was at Brecon, but would call and pay. The money not being paid, Mr. Botrd entered a case in the county-court, and at the hearing of that case the defendant Partite stated that his wife p"id Board, the JE14 odd in his presence and in the presence of Morgan, and Morgan was called, as a I witness and confirmed that statement. Morgan sueoied, %iiiee he was last at the Aber- gaviimy Police-court, to have been very uneasy about it, and had expressed a desire to make what he called II clean bieaet of it and tell the truth. He would now state that what he l'a.rI said about tteeing the money paid to Mr. Board was untrue, that he never saw Board in his life before the moruing of the county-court, and that he had been asked by Pariitt to come and state that he had seen the money paid. Mr. Corner then called Mr. C. A. Proverbs, clerk at the county-court office, who produced a certified C'ipy of the teaister of the case of Board v. Parfitt, us entered in the county-court hooks, and deposed that the defendants and Evan Morgan were duly sworn on the hearing of the case on the 8th of August. Superintendent Freeman said that he was pre- sent at the county-court and heurtl the defendants iwear that they paid the money. Mr.Corner: Your attention was called to the 0 ise by something(' Superintendent Freeinau: Yes, by the hard swearing. Mr. Unner: And that Is something very uncom- mo.i in this district ? Superintendent Freeman: I am sorry to say that I Caiiuot st ite that it is. Mr. BO-trd gave evidence that he saw only Mrs. Paifitt. on the 2lst of July, when lie went to Hafod. He had sent the cheque for JElt 4s. back, and had not had it again. He had never had the money. He was ne.r paid it in the presence of the defendants and Morgan. Evan Morgan, th« witness who was alleged to have been suborned, was then called, who said At the hearing of the case in the county-court I told the judge that I saw the money paid to Board by Mrs. Pariitt, in her house. That was not true. The first time that 1 ever saw Board was on the morning of the county-court. 1 am misled. I am not I ight in my head. It vexes me so much it nearly kills me. Mr. Corner: Well, you are in the flesh now. How came you to come to the Aborgavenny County-count* Witness I suppose I was under a delusion; I was persuaded. Why did you come to the County Court ?— I cauuot tall. What induced you to come ?-I cannot tell you that again, I am so nervous. The question was repeated by the Bench. Witness: I suppose I was wrong. Were you asked to come ?—Yes, of course. Who by ?— (reluctantly) John Parfitt. Where did you meet him, and what did he say ? -Oil the Hatod-road. I cannot tell you what he said, indeed. I am so nervous I am in such a bad of health. The Chairman: Thnt does not prevent your answering questions. The witntsi continued to fence the questions, and Mr. Corner said that the witness had signed a written statement, and he must ask to be allowed to trt-at him as a hostile witness. Mr. Corner then produced the written statement, which the witness admitted that he had signed, which was to the following effect I, Evan Morgan, am not one of the defendants in the action. I am anxious to make a clean breast of it. The first time I had anything to do with the case or ever heard of it was on Sunday, the 7th vf Anguit, 1892. on the rojid at Hafod. I met John Parfitt, and tie told me that he had gut a eount> -court case at Abergavenny the next day, that he h.id paid the moiiey. He naked, me to come to Abergavenny and swear I taw the money paid; 1 was very iir>«villiii £ at first, but on his per- suading me I consented. It is untrue that I was in Parfitt's shop on that day." Mr. Corner: Is that true? Wituess: I don't know; I suppose it is. Colonel Wheeley You must not ptay the fool in the witness-box. Mr. Corner reading from the statement It is untrue that I was in PnrtiU's shop on the 21st of July." Is that correct ? Witness: I was persuaded to do it. Mr. David I must ask to have that put down. I thought that it would come out. The Bench Is that true? Witness: I am in such a state- Mr. Corner Is it true* that you were not in Parfiti's shop on the 21st of July ?—It is put down there. Is it true?—Yes. Mr. Corner put in onother statement signed by the witness to a similar effect to the first one, and witness said that that was true. The defendants reserved their defence, and were committed for trial at the next asaizos, bail in £100 each and two sureties of £ 50 each, or one surety for each defendant in J6100 to be accepted.
