Dear Sir,-Some fifteen years ago I had the misfortune to be attacked with Rheumatic Gout. I tried nearly all the doctors here, but they did not do me much good. I saw your advertisement, and obtained some of your Pills, and, I can assure you, quickly got relief. When I feel any of the pains coming on, two or three Pills generally take them away. Many of my friends have used them, and all say they are an infallible remedy. For, myself, I say there are none to equal them. Yours truly, S. L. HOWMAN.

FEMININE FASHIONS.

FEMININE FASHIONS. PREVAILING MODES IN HYDE PARK. The season being in full swing, that part of Hyde Park nearest Rotten-row is as crowded as is usual in June and July. Costumes of unparalleled elegance sweep over the turf, and trail after their wearers as they seek to locate themselves where to see and to be seen to the greatest advantage. Good manners are sometimes forgotten or ignored, and unseemly disputes occasionally occur between candidates for a recently- vacated chair which stands in a coveted posi- tion. Yesterday, as I walked through the Park, the wind was keen and the dust blow- ing in clouds; but, taken as a whole, the dresses of the women were of the very thinneet material. There were many voile frocks, but dozens of eilk-muslins, a material that looks like gossamer, and not much more substantial than a spider's web. The painted mu«i;ns are very beautiful, and are extravagantly trimmed and beflounced, yet so light that the breeze played strange tricks with skirts and sleeves, the latter ballooning out or" fluttering in the wind like pennons. So transparent are they that the arms appear as if uncovered. The very fiat hat was con- I spicuously present, and tiny, compact wreaths, with or without foliage, were arranged on the brims of euch hats. Tuscan straws are very popular. The very lightest colours <"re seen in their thousands—very pale rose pink, bluo in the lightest shade of the colour, and the softest greys that are near akin to white. When it is neither of the faint colours just mentioned, the dress whioh seems ubiquitous is blue, a deep, deep blue inclining to purple, yet unmistakably blue. We can go nowhere without seeing women dressed in blue. Frequently the hat and the sunshade are blue also, and only a little lace in the shape of a vest relieves monotony; but it is a pleasing monotony that never stirs any desire for greater variety. I see a few red dresses. I must call them red, but that must not be confused with ecarlet. The new shade of red, though certainly vivid, is not startling. Red chiffon toques are worn with many costumes, and usually it is a red sunshade that is carried by the wearer of a red hat. Though the mass of oolour is, of course, greater in this case, it is not so noticeable as a red hat worn without the addition of a red shade; the one supports the other. Blue sunshades are frequently seen, even when there is no corresponding touch of the colour on hat or dress; but present taste lias in the direction of colour affinity; a pale pink frock, then a pale pink shade, and so on. A very large -proportion of these sun- shades are perfectly plain and entirely self- coloured. A dainty little rose-shaped rosette, made either of soft silk or of chiffon, is fized on the handle just above the part grasped by the hand when the parasol is open. LARGE COLLARS. The very large collar, or, rather, tippet, of lac-e so generally worn last season has passed into oblivion, and the marabout stoles in brown and black have become rather common. The fashionable and exclusive woman may be seen wearing a stole of white marabout or of curled white, or of pale grey ostrich feathers, or a stole made of gathered chiffon. But the most exclusive woman of all throws 3) filmy lace scarf over her shoulders. I 6aw many scarfs of beautiful old lace draping aristocratic figures, lace that must in the same manner have hung on the shoulders of other fair dames who long ago joined the great majority. In an east wind, however, a lace scarf looks inconsistent as a protection. Vanity, however, supports women in a marvellous manner; they smile and smile when undergoing a martyrdom of pain or discomfort if only their vanity be gratified or appeased. DANISH WORK. "Dear needlework! That best of all resources for a woman's rest when tired of too much headwork at a stretch." Un- doubtedly, needlework is soothing to the nerves of women, provided, of course, that it is not too intricate; but even then, if the cause of nervous disturbance be due to mind trouble-the dwelling on painful events or topics—work of an engrossing nature that gives no opportunity for straying thoughts is beneficent in its effect, diverting the mind and drugging, as it were, memory. Even temporary relief of this kind is beneficial; we have most of us occasion to be thankful for it. The work I am writing about to-day is interesting, but not specially engrossing. The materials used and the effects produced thereby are extremely varied, leaving much scope for tke exercise of individual selection. Darned net work is simple, but remarkably effective, no special or far-fetched materials being necessary. It is useful to decorate tea clothe, "duchesse" toilet cloths, and similar articles. The linen should be cut to desired shape. and hem-stitched. Then in each corner, and elsewhere where desired, use transfers of any flower yon like; irou them off, and, if need be, emphasise with a coloured pencil so that the outlines of the design may be clearly visible through the net. A second outline about the eighth of an inch must be drawn round the first line of the design, both of flower and leaf. Over the pattern lay some coarse net, seeing that the threads of linen and those of the net agree in direction taken. Secure the net in position. The design is then worked out in ingrain cottons. The darning is done on the net only, so that a blunt pointed needle must be used. When the flowers and I leaves axe worked in suitable colours, the outer line of the design must be embroidered in white cotton in satin stitch. The linen must then be cut carefully away quite close to the inner edge of the satin stitch. The etems of the flowers are more easily worked after the linen is cut away. Bold designs look best. Scarlet poppies, tulips, and similar flowers are suggested as being effective. When filling in leaves or flower petals the darner should vary her stitches according to the "lay" of them. This gives variety, and a very little experience will furnish correct ideas on this subject.

CARDIFF LUNATIC'S YELLS. CANTON CONGREGATION DIS- TURBED AT WORSHIP. At a meeting of the Cardiff Board of Guar- dians on Saturday, the Rev. J. R. Buckley presiding, a letter was read from the Rev. T. M. Charles, pastor of the Memorial Church, Cowbridge-road, adjoining the workhouse, to this effect: — June 19.—Will you allow me to bring to your consideration the following resolution passed at the Church committee- That, in view of the fact that our meeting in the lessor hall last Tuesday evening was altogether upset, and that the worshippers were seriously annoyed by the noise and yells of poor lunatic patients in the union, we pray you, as guardians, to give ns a guaran- tee that stepe will be taken immediately to prevent a recurrence of the unpleasant ex- perience. We can assume you it is not only a great nuisance, but also an infringement on our liberty of worship"? The Chairman (to Mr. Greenhalgh, master): Does it often happen, Mr. Greenhalgh? Mr. Greenhalgh: No. sir, not often. It was an exceptional case of a. young woman in an acute state of ma.nia.. I don't know what to do to prevent such things happening. Mr. Evan Jones suggested that the church singing might have disturbed the lunatics. (Laughter.) Mr. Mildon sa,id they did not want to be a nuisance or to disturb anybody, and he thought that that which was complained of migbt be set right at a. trifling expense. Upon the motion of Mr. Ames, the matter was remitted to the workhouse visiting com- mittee.

CARDIFF MAN'S DOWNFALL. At Cardiff Police-court on Saturday George Gimblett, 42, was charged on a. warrant for neglecting to maintain his wife and two children, now chargeable to the Oa.rditf Union. Mr. Pritchard, relieving officer, said that prisoner's family became chargeable to the Cardiff Board of Guardians on June 7 laet, when they were admitted perfectly destitute. Jile was also chargeable on a former occasion. He was given an opportunity to reform in April last, but he had not done so, and spent most of his time in publks-honsee. The wife was called, and eaid that prisoner's behaviour had been very bad towards her, and since November laet she had not received a. halfpenny from him. Mr. P. J. Beavan (who presided) to prisoner: I knew you at the town-clerk's office. There yon liad a golden opportunity before you to make your life a happy and prosperous one. Prisoner: With peace and quietude at home? Mr. Beavan: We are not disposed to accept your version of your home life. In any caee, nothing can excuse you for neglecting your wife and family. Yon are a very bad caae. I'm very sorry—more sorry than I can eay-. but there'e notMng for ypa hot to 10 ta wrWin

FOR FEMALE FOLK USEFUL HINTS FOR THE HOME. TO CORRESPONDENTS. "Ceiling.If only discoloured above the chandelier, try a layer of starch and water; apply it with a piece of soft funnel. When quite dry brush lightly with a soft brush. The blackness should then be cleared off, leaving no mark of previous discoloration. "Enamelled Bath."—Scour the discoloured part with coarse salt moistened with vinegar. This usually proves effective. "Rheumatic."—The following recipe is from a trained nurse:—One pint of white vinegar, half a pint of turpentine, half an ounce of cayenne pepper, the whites of four eggs well beaten. Mix thor aghly. This embrocation has proved of g-re value in many severe cases of rheumatism in the joints. It should be well rubbed in two or three times daily. "Oement for Glass."—An almost invisible cement for mending glass is made of isinglass boiled in spirits of wine. Use great care, for, of course, the spirit ignites easily. "Polish for Brown OBoots."—Dark yellow wax, lox.; palm oil, loz.; oil of turpentine, 3oz. Melt in a. pipkin set in a, saucepan of boiling water. Five grains of Nankin brown will deepen the colour. Lay the paste on with a clean spongt, and then polish with Eoft rag. "Garden Party Frock."—With your colour- ing you might venture on a csrise voile lined white silk. Have a black chip hat tnjnmed roses shaded or matching the colour of frock; or a dress of yellow muslin, and a. big black picture hat, with long black feathers, would be appropriate and uncommon-looking. TOTLErr VINEGARS. Many persons who dislike perfumee of any kind find aromatic vinegar diluted with water very refreshing, and the odour of the flowers is so minimised by the addition of the wid that no objection is taken. A few drops of aromatic vinegar added to a basin of water is distinctly agreeable to lave the face with when heated. Red roses picked and dried half a. pound, best vinegar eight pounds; macerate for a fortnight, stir occasionally, then strain. A foarth part or lees of these ingredients would suffice for c'omeetio pur- poöoo. ANOTHER TOILET VINEGAR. Dried rose leaves, four ounces; otto of rose, 93 drops; rectified spirit, ten ounea-; dilute acetic acid, 40 ounces. Macerate in a closed vessel for fourteen days; then filter. Here, again, the reduction of the quantities severally named will be thought necessary, and, as attar of robes is exceptionally power- ful, a very few drops of it will perfume a. large quantity of fluid. FIVE MINUTES' PUDDING. One teacupful of flour, half ditto sifted sugar, one dessertspoonful of baking powder, two eggs. Mix all these thoroughly together. Put into a well-buttered baking tin. Bake in a quick oven for five minutes. When done cut through, and spread preserve over half. Lay the other half over. WEST RIDING PUDDING. Required, raspberry or strawberry jam, two eggs, their weight in sugar, butter, and flour, half teaspoonful baking powder, and some grated lemon rind. Line the edges of a pie- dish with light pastry; ornament it, and put some jam at the bottom of the dish. Stir cream and butter in the flour, sugar, and eggs, baking powder, and lemon rind. Put the mixture on the jam. Bake an hour and a half. When beating eggs it will be found that a pinch of cream of tartar will cause the whites to become etiffer than when no such aid is used. The white of an egg added to cream has the same effect on the cream beaten. When making custard beat the whites of eggs until they can be dipped up in a spoon. TO MEND CHINA. Take a very thick solution of gum arabic, and stir into it some plaster of Paris until the mixture becomes a viscous paste. Apply with a. brush to the fractured edges, press them together, and in three days the article cannot be broken in the same place. The whiteness of this cement renders it doubly valuable. PRESERVING FLOWERS. A correspondent recently inquired how flowers might be preserved in shape and colour after becoming dry. This can be accomplished by dipping them care- fully, and as soon as gathered, in perfectly limpid gum water. The flowers, when drained, are then coated all over (stems as well as petals), and will retain their natural appearance long after they have become dry. After treatment the flowers can be arranged in any flower receptacle, or may be pressed after the gum has dried thoroughly. SMOOTH SAUCE. Many housekeepers and cooks complain that they have a difficulty in making a. per- fectly smooth sauce. If a brisk beating with an egg beater is given to the sauce as soon as it begins to boil, the unsightly lumps will usually disappear. Custard which may have curdled, a cornflour pudding, or any similar preparation may have their smoothness restored by a rapid use of the egg-beater, as soon as they have been removed from the fire. FRINGED CELERY. To prepare celery for the table, take off all the outside stalks, leaving only the white ones; cut these square and even at the top, and about eight or nine inches long. Divide each root in half, or, if very large, in four. Now take a strong steak-pin or a darning- needle, and fringe out the top of each stalk about an inch deep; let it lie in cold water for an hour, and serve in a. celery glass. HARICOT BEANS A LA. POULETTE. Soak pint of haricot beans in cold water for at least six hours, blanch them, and cook till tender in good stock. A piece of gammon or streaky bacon cooked with the beans will greatly add to the flavour. When done moisten the haricot beans with a little Bechamel or other white sanoe, heat up, but b3 careful in stirring not to mash up the beans; add a tablespoonful of finely chopped parsley at the last, season to taste, and dish up. GERMAN PANCAKES. Separate the whites and yolks of four eggs, whip the former until stiff and dry, and the latter until thick and light. Take three- quarters of a pound of the finest flour, add one-half saltepoonful of salt, one full tea- spoonful of baking-powder, half a pint of milk, and the yolks of the eggs. Beat this well together until quite smooth, then add the whites, and whip them into the mixture. Fry at once in boiling lard, butter, or clarified dripping. TALK AT MEALS. statement was recently made by a clever woman that if phonographs were set to catch the conversation at a thousand family meals the rooords would be mostly depressing. In too many homes nagging and bickering between parents and children spoil the peace of the household, while in others the talk consists of a rehearsal of maladies and mis- fortunes. Some parents consider it their duty to forbid children to engage in any con- versation at all at meals, and a chilling silence takes the place of sociable intercourse. Meal time should be the period of recreation and rest. and every mother should encourage her children to be at their host and brightest during these hours. SPOTS ON A FABRIC. In cleaning a spot on a fabric with ether or chloroform it often happens that after the original stain is removed, a circle is still to be seen. This cornea from an impurity in the solvent used. Commercial ether or chloro- form is not apt to be perfectly pure. In rubbing the stain, therefore, a teacher of chemical cleaning advises that some absor- bent like breadcrumbs or chalk or a piece of blotting-paper should be put around the spot to absorb any excess of the liquid. Rub towards the spot to concentrate the liquid there, leaving the edge of the circle thin for quick absorption. The cleansing fluid, what. ever it ie, should not be left to dry itself, but be rubbed dry, with a. succession of two or three cloths.

MEDICAL. WATER.—PART II. Unless a person has seen a. drop of dirty water exhibited under a microscope, it is diffi- cult to believe what a collection of very minute living beings may be contained in it. Many of these are, no doubt, harmless, but, on the other hand, many are germs of diffe- rent diseases. These microsoopic germs, bacteria, and bacilli multiply with amazing rapidity, especially in water which lies stagnant. They get into the water from the rain, or from the soil through which the water has run, or' may fall into the water in our cisterns if not well covered. Many diseases are known to be spread by water containing the special germs of the disease, and this is especially the case with typhoid fever. Slops may be thrown away in gardens, or sewage from infected houses may soak through the ground and find its way into the water of shallow wells, and eo one oaee may lead to the occurrence of many other cases. In this way typhoid fever is always common among soldiers in camps, especially during war time, when it is so difficult to secure sanitary con- ditions. In a. war typhoid always kills more men than the guns of the enemy. Drinking- water kept in tanks may be wholesome enough if great care is taken to keep tanks clean and covered, and if a full supply is added daily, while a certain amount is drawn away every day for use. But in poor-districts it is always found to be very difficult for landlords to keep the cisterns clean. Of course, many landlords are very careless, and pay but little attention to the needs of poor tenants; but even when a landlord does his best poor tenants are apt to be grossly care- less and dirty in their habits. They leave covers off, or let children play in the tanks, and but rarely watch that the water in them is clean. Water tanks are often badly situated in dwelling-houses; they should be as far as possible from the closets, and should be placed so as to be frequently inspected; they should be scrubbed out at least every three months. Pure, wholesome water should be clear, sparkling, and colourless, without the faintest smell or taste, and should not be too hard with dissolved lime. Impure wa.ter sets up diarrhoea, colic, sore throat, nausea, and loss of appetite. Life is never safe with- out a pure water supply. Swollen Face.—"B. B."—Unless we know whether the swelling comes from decayed teeth, di6eased jaw-bone, or abscess of a gland, we cannot suggest any remedy. Try Yellow Face.—"One Lees, J. R."—You are slightly jaundiced; you have lost weight, you have pain in side and shoulder, and you are 42 years of age. If you have been in the habit of taking alcohol freely, you ma.y be sure that your liver is out of order; but you would be wise to have it examined by a local doctor. Morning Phlegm.—"Anxious to Know."—The phlegm that collects at the back of the throat in the morning, and causes coughing and a feeling of sickness, may be only a. chronic catarrh of the throat, or may be early lung disease. You should see a doctor about it, and have your chest examined. Ringworm.Trolley.The bald patches cohered with thick scurf are really still ring- worm, which is not yet cured. Try painting the patches with liniment of iodine, and if you do not shave a ring of hea.lthy hair away round each patch it will very likely spread all over the scalp again. and send a more accurate account. Drowsiness.—"An Artificer."—You ha.ve dark rings round your eyes, are sleepy after eat- lrL?' y?ur eyes ache. Probably you are only 'liverish," or suffering from a sluggish Hyei\Ja? oostiveness of the bowels. You snould take a dose of some fruit salt or other every morning in a large tumblerful of water. Almost any of the advertised salines will do. Chronic Indigestion—"Loo."—This may be of various types. A very generally useful med-cine is gentian infusion, with bicarbonate of soda and ginger, in a mixture, which any chemist will supply you with. Of course, every case of indigestion really requires to be dealt with on its own merits, and this is diffi- cult to do in correspondence. (John Smith.) Rupture.—"Nixon."—This correspondent has an old rupture, which, not being properly con- trolled by his truss, is giving rise to pain and swelling, and indigestion. tie runs serious risks by not having a properly-fitting truss, and when once this is seen to there is little doubt that* he will soon recover his usual health. • Squint.—"Grocer."—A squint, varying in amount, in a girl of five years may not require an operation; in some cases suitable spec- tacles will effect a cure. Consult an ophthalmic surgeon by ail meant. Hospita s vary very much in their rules, so you must send to inquire what is necessary. You may need a letter from a subscriber; clergymen generally have letters of admission to distri- bute. Dry Scurf of Scalp.—"Alopecia."—Your soalp seems to be too dry, and to require oily nourishment; that is why the hair comes out. But first rub into the whole scalp some dilute ammoniated mercury ointment for a few days; then wash thoroughly with soft soap, and dry by rubbing hard with a rough towel. Afterwards use a little brilliantine every day, and brush for a quarter of an hour with very stiff brushes. Rheumatism in Hip Joint.—"Rugby."—You must first make quite sure that the complaint is rheumatism, and that it is not gout or other disease. You do not send particulars of your mode of life, or vour age, or habite, so we cannot tell what is wrong. Medicine is very useful, but it must be backed up by proper diet, Ac., and unui we know what is wrong with your mode of life we cannot hope to help you much.

LEGAL. Compensation.—"Tinturn."—We think the council would have a claim to compensation. Cockade.—"T. A."—There Is no law on the subject, but it is usually considered that only servants of persons in the service of the Crown should wear a cockade. Mother's Debt.—" Norman."—You are not liable to pay the debt unless you have in some way agreed to do so or have property of your mother's in your possession. Society.—"J. P."—We never reply to a.ny correspondent through the post. Amendments or the ru es can, having regard to Kule 44 only be made on the initiative of the com- mittee. Permit.—"Publican."—The Inland Revenue people are quite right. You are bound to cancel the permit and hand it to the Inland Revenue officer on his next visit to the pre- mises. Landlord and Tenant.—"Nemo."—We think that you are right, but in order to prove your case you will have to produce the letter pro- perly stamped. You could not now stamp it without payment of a penalty. Mother's Will.—A will signed in the pre- sence of one witness only is not good; there llIu-t be t" o. fcea1 property ilcludes free- holds and copyholds. Personal property practically includes everything else. Trustees' Powers.—"Parent."—One trustee has no right to act contrary to the wishes of the others We cannot advise as to the appointment of another trustee without seeing the deed of trust. You had better con- sult a local solicitor. Disqualiifcation. — Sambo." — Any person who is concerned in any bargain or contract entered into with the council or board, or participates in the profit of any such bargain or contract, or of any work done nnder the authority of the council or board, is disquali- fied from election or acting. The gentleman referred to eeems to come within this. Right to Wall.—"W. L."—If the wall were built upon the land of B the wall would be his property, but if A has been in possession of it during upwards of twenty years, then he would have acquired a right to the land by reason of the Statute of Limitations and ho could dispose of the wall as he thinks fit subject to any questions which may arise a2 to light. Libel Action.—"Flint."—The plaintiff can bring an action for libel without coming into the country, and his evidence could oe taken on commission.

I Every Sufferer may Test Doan's Backache Kidney Pills Free. I (See Below}. Another Cardiff case is given below. If you have any form of kidney trouble, woSld it not be well to follow the advice of a neighbour-someone you may know? For neglected kidney trouble is serious; kidney poisons irritate the nerves; make you dizzy, restless, sleepless, and irritable; cause swelling.) of the feet and limbs, rheumatism, catarrh of the bladder; bring on indigestion, stomach and liver trouble; make the heart weak; take away your strength, your appetite, and your ambition, and make you generally miserable. Doan's Backache Kidney Pills heal and tone up the kidneys, and help them to keep the body healthy and free from kidney poisons. This --edicine is for men and women, old and young, and ie always safe and reliable, j Here is a Grangetowu (Cardiff) woman's advice, which is good advice:— Mrs. Elizabeth Morgan, who lives at 47, Stockland-street, Grangetown, Cardiff, says: For a long time I was a martyr to cruel backaches, caused by kidney disorder. When I stooped or straightened myself the j pain in my back was almost unbearable. If I went down upon my knees I had to ca.tch hold of something to pull myself up again, and was then obliged to stand still for a few minutes, for if I had let go I I should have fallen. My body began to swell, I and I suffered from other distinct signs of kidney disease. I My suffering continued until I began using Doan's Backache Kidney Pills. I had previously been in hospital, and was attended by a private doctor, but I received very little benefit. < "I decided to try Doan's Pills beoacae ft neighbour, who knew how ill I was, recom- mended me to do so, saying they were a. special kidney medicine. To my delight, the first few doses gave me great relief, and in a short time I felt like a. different woman: the pains in the back had dis- appeared, the swellings had gone down, and the other symptoms of kidney trouble had vanished. I am so grateful for the good this splendid medicine has done me that it is a pleasure to give you permission to pub- lish this statement. I should like to feel that I had been the means of introducing such a reliable remedy as Doan's Pills to other sufferers from kidney complaint.- (Signed) ELIZABETH MORGAN." Mrs. Morgan made the above statement on the 13th September, 1899. To-day-over 2i years after-she has something to add to it:—"Although it was right back in September, 1899, that I told you of my cure by Doan's Backache Kidney Pills, I am glad to be able to tell you now that the benefit I received from the pills has been lasting." Doan's Backache Kidney Pills may be had of all chemists and stores, or direct from Foeter-McClellan Co., 8, Well-street, Oxford- street, London, W. Price 2s. 9d. a box, or 13s. 9d. for six boxes.
