Dahlias from Seed. It iuornetimes forgotten tn considering Dahlias and their propagation that one of the simplest methods of raioing them is from seed, Particn- larly does this apply to the single sorts that aro 90 useful wherever cat newer-) are appreciated, .and, if seed il eown now in pans of light soil, transferring the Besdlings toatoglepotswhen they are large enoagh, they will be of Bnmcient size hy May for hardening off preparatory to planting oat. Even the double sorts may he raised thus, and seed purchased from a good source will be found to yield a good percentage of donble flowers. Planted out in rich soil they will yield many blossoms, and those who have long borders to bo filled will find this the least expeMive method where they have not to hand ¡a stock of tdbera from which to strikecuttiaga. Sweet Williams. More interest ia being taken in old-fashioned fiowars each year, and amongst snch Sweet Williams h&ve to be taken into con- sideration. Bays a writer in Gardening lllnstrated." That they are showy and easily grown no one can deny, and daring the next few weeks, when so much sowing will be carried oat, it ia worth remembering the claims of these too little grown things. Plants put in last autumn will bloom this year, and, though sometimes a fair nnmber of flowers will come from plants moved in spring, it is not, I think, a method to be recommended. Rather would I suggest the sowing of seed in the open in March or April, pricking the seedlings out, and getting tbeminto their final quarters in the autumn. Climbers on the Greenhouse Roof. Very beautiful effects may had by a moderate use of climbing plants in the greenhouse, and, to make use of a, common expression, whilst kept within bounds, they are good servants," un- restricted they are bad masters." Little can be expected in a bouse where the roof is overrun with climben. Those that offend most in this respect are the Passifloras, Lapagerias, Roses, and Clematises. Where such a state of things exists, now, before the spring has advanced, is the best time of all to do any pruning, and cutting away useless wood and weakly growths is likely to have a beneficial effect in the coming summer. It is better to grow one or two subjects on a roof than burden a house with many that often become en- tangled and morB of a nuisance than otherwise. Stepping the Leaders of Espalier-Trained Trees. There fi no certainty of resalts following any other course such as obtained by annually pinch- ing the leaders of trained trees, though some prefer these to go unstopped until they have reached tbeir allotted space. Sometimes such trees will give lateral shoots freely and at regu- lar intervals of space, permitting of a perfect symmetry being secured in other instancas they have been known to be most stubborn, absolutely defying all efforts to obtain laterals. Under these circumstances one inclines to the opinion that it is better to prune just sufficient to secure one Dair of lateral branches annually, and to allow .of a new leader being formed, and to extend for future formation of branches, There is of eoutse no reason why the stopping of these leaders should not be done in summer indeed, where there is ample vigour there is a decided gain in summer manipulation over that of winter. Fruit Garden, Old trees intended to be regretted should be headed down now to within a tew inches of the place where the grafts will be inserted. Old Damsons which havs bare, gaunt, trunks may be much improved byheadiogbacK. They will break freely out of qaite old wood, and form healthy heads tbat will bear very freely. Sometimes, when tbe new Strawberry plantations could not be got in during August or September, tho plants may be set out in March. There will be no crop this year,, but the plants will bear heavily next season. Assuming the rows of strawberries a.re planted 2ft. anart, there will be room for a row of Onions between each two rows of Strawberries, and if the Onions are sown in boxes under glass and planted out in April, the-Onion crop will pay rent and labour. Figs which have been sheltered by mats or branches may be safely uncovered now, and the necessary pruning and ttaining may be done in tho course of a week or two. Figs must be trained close to the wall to obtain tbe full benefit of the warmth. If figB in a good aspect do not bear frealy, the remedy must be songht at the roots. When the roots get out of touch and the trees make gross wood, root lifting is the only remedy. Vegetable Garden. March is tbe bnsv seed-sowing time, and, as a, rule, Peas, Beans, Horn Carrots, and other early crops sown early in March will not be much behind things sown much earlier, and the final results will probably be better. Where one has plenty of glass a good deal can be done to hasten imported crops. Globe Artichokes, lifted and placed in pots in autumn, brought on when there is a little wartntb, and planted out when the warm weather comes will bewett in advance, and thiB will be an advantage to those who want an early dish. When there is a good Broccoli season —and there is every prospect of the plants escap- ing frost this Beason-very early Cauliflowers may not be needed for this spring. Otherwise, Veith's Forcing or Snowball, grown in 6in. pots, where there is a little warmth, in a light posi- tion, will come early. The same may be said of early Peas, thongh these may be planted out either in a warm pit or house. French Beans will bear as much heat as they are likely to get, but they must be near the glass. Transplant but they must be near the glass. Transplant Khubarb, and plant Seakale thongs. Forced Carrots. At this season of the year one's though) a naturally turn towards summer with the attend- ant desire for a change of vegetable diet, and Carrots, young, small, and tender, are welcome. To obtain these at the earliest period some means, such as a hot bed or frame, for quicken- ing the growth must be devised. A bed ot tree- leaves of suitable depth and breadth will give a gentle and lasting warmth, but in building up a. bed of these some strawy litter is necessary to keep the sides square and upright. Any ordinary garden soil slightly enriched with decayed manure or leaf-mould suffices for producing early summer Carrots, and where leaves are plentiful the light forcing of Carrots need not be of serious import. Care must be taken to ensure against slags, for the partiality of these enemies to Carrots is proverbial. Soot and lime incorporated with tbe soil and green-leaf traps will do much to protect against slugs. Only the early kinds must be selected for forcing. Early Scarlet Horn, French Horn, Parisian Forcing, and similar sorts may be easily produced by forcing. Some prefer the long-shaped roots. Broadcast sowing is best for the earliest crops, as more can be had from the same space, and if thinly sown they are tit for use sooner than when crowded in drills. Thin sowing is important, as early maturity is almost utterly defeated if they are crowdod thickly together. Well prepared etabte-manura and leaves in about equal parts form the ideal bed for the forcing of these.

HINTS TO AMATEURS. Campanulas are moving now, and the young shoots will make good cuttings that will root in sandy soil in a box covered with a square of glass. Chrysanthemums and other cuttings of soft- wooded plants wilt strike in a glass-covered box in the window. Seeds may also be sown in snch a box, and covered with glass at first, the glass to be lifted on one side for ventilation as soon ft* the seeds germinate.. Geranium cuttings will strike best without ft glass covering. If kept close they will damp. Beds intended for Carnations should have a dusting of soot or any other top-dressing it is intended to-give. The plants in cold frames may be set out in March. Those planted in early autumn will be well established, a.nd a sprinkling of soot will do them no harm and will keep off the birds and possibly other enemies. This is the usual proplioflatlng time, if more plants are wanted. Commencing with bulbs and autumn-sown annuals, and filling in the summer with tender annuals and bardy herbaceous plants, which are go beautiful for cutting and so interesting gener. aUy, a good deal can be donewth hardy annual, including Sweet Peas and Mignonette. Herbaceous plants may still be divided in fact, for many things the spring is the bettttima toriaorefnnsatook.

SOLICITOR WITHDRAWS. Paternity of Pyle Girl's Child. Richard Watts, farm labourer, of Nottagc, near Porthcawl, araa summaned at Bridgend on Saturday by Elizabeth Mary Evans, Cross Roads, Pyle, to show cause, etc. Defendant did not appear, and as the case was proceeding Mr B- T. David, solicitor, arrived, saying that be bad just received instructions from defendant to apply for an adjournments he denied paternity. The magistrates handed Mr David a letter from defendant to complainant, in which paternity was admitted, and an offer made to pay. s.rch was made for defendant, who was eventually found and brought into court. Mr Dand got him to write hiaeigoatttre, and after comparing it with that on the letter, said to tbe magistrates I aos satisfied defendant wrote this letter and withdrew from the case." An order w** made for 39 a week.

JUMPED INTO THE THAMES}. At Woolwich Police Court on Monday Walter Crofton (35), of 11 Lewis-street, Newport, was charged with having attempted suicide by jump- ing into the Thames off Woolwich Ferry. Three buoys were thrown to him, but he made no effort to save himself, and drifted several hundred yards. Eventually be was fished out with a boat- hook. A brother stated that accused served 16 years in the Royal Artillery. Being unemployed since his discharge this prayed on hll mind. She defendant was remanded for .:week4

A Father's Protest. ALLEGED INDIGNITY TO A CORPSE. Pathetic Cardiff Incident. I I went to the Mortuary to-day, and found no i one there," said Mr E. B. Reece, the Cardiff. district coroner, at hi3 court on Tuesday •• Who t ittaupposed to be in charge of the Mortuary ?" f The Conrt Officer replied that the Mortauy: was in charge of the Health Department. The Coroner: You had better give me betters information about the Mortuary, and when I can, visit it. I wasted h&lf-an-hour to-day, and more. looking for it. The Mortuary is not in the J street I was told it was, and when I find it, it is shut up. In future I expect tbe Mortuary to bo open when I go there. This took place at the opening of an ingusst touching the death of Margaret'Mary Edmunds (27), who was employed as companion with Miss Thomas, Richmond-terrace. j Wm. Edmunds, builder, Nelson, the doceased's j father, who gave evidonee of identification, com- plained bitterly that the body should have been taken to the Mortuary^ and left there uncovered, when it ought to have been taken to the hoaso where deceased resided He did not think bodies were treated reverently at the'Mortuary. The Coroner said he was sorry to hear this and would communicate with the police that in fature bodies should be taken home whenever possible. Witness It may do good in some future case. I feel very sore about the maUer, and eodoea Miss Thomas. P.C. Price said that the nolice took the body to the Mortuary out of kindness to Miss Thomas, They thought she would not like it taken to the bouss. Witness A mistaken kindness. I think it is a shame. The Coroner said he Would have inquiries made. Witness Excuse me, gentlemen, giving way to my feelings, but Welsh people do not care for this kind of tnug and her poor mother feels it very much. Emma. Harley, a domestic servant at Oaklands, Penylan-road, said that on Sunday night she went with the deceased to St. Martin's Church. When going thb deceased was in the best of health and spirits, but when they came ont deceased complained of a groa$pain in her head and feU forward. She was carried-to a sweet- shop in Castle-road, and died almost i mrnediately. Dr. Grant was sent for and pronounced life extinct. P.O. Scoarfield said. that he took the body into the Mortuary, bat he had not made inquiries as to whether Miss Thomas would take the body in er not. The Conner In future it will be better that you should make inquiries for relatives, as friends do not care for bodies to be taken to the; Mortuary. Dr. George Grant attributed death to a fit of an epileptic nature followed by failure of the heart's action. The jury brought in a verdict of U Death from natural causes.

NEWPORT" INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL THE VACANT HEADMASTEfiSHIP. A Breeze. Councillor W. Clifford Phillips presided on Tuesday at a meeting of the New- port Education Committee. Councillor I Swash moved that a special meeting of the committee be held at an Barly date (a) to con- sider Mr J. L. Holland's report, (b) to consider the applications received for the position of head mastsr of the Intermediate School, and that in the meantime the apnlications received be opened by tha Town Cle*k, and tabulated so as to give full particulars of the qualifications of all r the candidates. He said that the imgagement of Mr Holland was a very wise step. As regards the second part of the resolution, he thought they ought not to foUow the usual custom of delegating to a sub-committee the matter of boilinz down the applicatj0ng t0 gTe or a5x. Councillor Thomas seconded. Alderman Howells moved as an amendment that the ad- vertisement of the poat of headmaster of the Intermediate Schools be inserted in the Cardiff and educational papers, that the time for sending in applications should be extended to tbe 23rd inst., and that the applications already received be not opened until after that date. He maintained that the committee had not carried out the true spirit of the scheme, and that was also the opinion of the chief inspector of the Welsh Central Board. Councillor Abraham seconded, and Coancillcr Liscombe supported the resolution, after which a letter was read from Councillor W. H. Brown, who supported the action of the Secondary Committee, adding that the fact that there were 40 applications was a foil answer tooutside criticism. The Chair man said he bad the scheme before him and that he thought the Secondary Committee had not earried out the rule properly. The Town Clerk said tbe only answer he could give was that that w&s the governing body, and it mast be competent for that body, if they thonfhtnt, to ratify what had been done in the past. That ratification wculd validate anything which perhaps was done pre- cipitately, bat of cour&d that depended on the view of the majority. CounCIllor nant, as a member of the Secondary Committee, said he thought they had acted hastily. Councillor Gower and Councillor Baker supported the motion. On the amendment being put, the Chairman said the voting was 9 forand.9 against, and giving his casting vote in favour of the amendment declared it carried. Councillor Baker moved, and Councillor Davies seconded, that names be taken, but the Chairman declared it carried. Councillor Baker said it waa simply a farce, and Councillor Gower proposed the meeting be adjourned for a week. The Chair, man persisted that the amendment was carried. There were, he said, 18 present—nine on each side.—Mr Dunn I did not vote.—Councillor Baker said they could not get fair play, and supported Councillor Gower.—The Chair- man I counted the hands, and Mr Dunn put up his hand. If ho says be did not I was mis- taken.—Alderman Greenland said Councillor Dunn had stated that he did not vote. Subse- quently Councillor Gower dropped his motion, and after further remarks Councillor Swash's motion was pat and carried.

GAVE HIS WIFE" NOTICE." Family Troubles at Caerphilly. At Caerphilly on Tuesday Ethel Roberts applied for a separation order against her husband, Thomas Roberts (26), an emnloyee on the Rbymney Railway. Mr C. S. Good fellow, Caeiphilly, appeared for the complainant, and Mr W. Spickett defen- ded. The parties were married in 1899, and thsre were four children of the marriage. About two months ago her husband gave her a week's notice to leave. She, however, di 1 not pay any Berious attention to this, as he hal made such statements 00 previous occasions. On returning home on a Saturday some weeks ago she found all the rooms locked, and she could get no further than the passage. The defendant asked her why she returned as he had given her notice to leave a month ago. At this Btage Mr Spickett suggested that she should retarn to her bnsband, but this complainant persistently de- clined to do, saying that she would rather drown herself. After some further argument the case was adjourned.

THE PERFECT BLOUSE, AND OTHER NÈWSFÕRLADY READERS. The blouse has coaie to stay. Other fashions come and go, but the blouse keeps on. Attrac- tive, variable for all figures, suitable for home and party wear alike, it cannot be beaten. Dress* makers find no fault with tbe blouse fashion. Any complaint they make ia against dreasmak- ing itself. I had to give ap the work," 2aidone skilful needlewoman. "The doctor said I was not strong anougb to work at all. It is a wonder I am alive now. II I was apprenticed to the dressmaking business, continued the speaker—a Miss Alice Dunn, of 82, Meadow. road, Fentiman road, Sputh Liambeth, tiondon —" but soon bad to give it np because of biliousness and ansamia, which had taken a firm hold of me. To go up- stairs made me completely exhausted. I was seen by thr&e different doctors, and was at home for six months, during which time I be- came so feeble that my mother thought tha end was not far off. The pains in my chest were terrible, and when I coughed I nsed to spit blood. I could not sleep, and. my appetite was wretched. Mother now Bays it was like death. watching, for she never expected I would re- cover. It was suggested that I should try Dr. Wil- liamB pink pills. My friendllsent for a. box, and very soon after, for the first time for years, I heRan to feel an appetite for food. By the time I had finished tbe first box I felt Bure the pi11s were curing me. I persevered, steadily taking the pills, and before Joag eve*y°ne could see that JT*8 abso.h,te,y cared. These pills ate invalu- able. and if I have a suspicion of a headache I a pill and thus keep quits well." MiS8 Dunn, who undoubtedly looks a picture of health, added that her sister, who is seventeen years of ac., had also been cored of anemia by f?1- Williams' pink pills for pa'e People. Pub- • j »»- testimonial for the good it may do," said Miss Dunn in conclusion. Loss of appetite is a sign that food is not digesting. Weakness and bile naturally follow. New blood is the care. Mothers know why they and their daughters need new blood more than men bnt men can be anaemic, too. The weak back, easy fatigue, Jack of interest in life, in. digestion, and general nervous weakness which trouble both men and women, need new blood to cure them, and these piUs make new blood. Nerves that need new blood to feed them show their need in neuralgia, fits, St. Vitus' dancs, eventually paralysis, locomotor ataxy, and utter breakdown. But Dr. Willisros' Dink pms for pale people can cure all these things-tho genuine pills.

'3 Chinese River Disaster. BOATS DESTROYED BY FIRE. Less of Hundreds of Lives. Hong Eong, Tuesday.—Away towards tha mountains of Kwangsi province, on the binks of the West River, nearly 300 miles from Hong Eong, is the thriving treaty port of Wachow, at 'present the headquarters of the Viceroy of Can- ton. It is a densely populated town, and at this time of the year, when the natives are arriving for the Chinese New Year festivities the place is unusually packed. Half of the people have tbeir homes in samcans, slipper boats, and janks, and for the night moor in the Fu River, which runs off from the main (stream in the direction of, K weilin. Not many nights ago the British Consular officials and American missionaries, who have their homes on the snmmit of a hill rising abruptly np from the waterway, were startled by seeing tongues of flame shooting up from the closely-packed boats, and within a few minutes it seemed apparent that a fire of unusually large I dimensions was in progress below. From boat to boat the flumes leaped with remarkable rapidity, and as the frail craft wore bereft of their bamboo moorings they drifted with the tide, and quickly spread the fire to pontoons. A native launch was observed steaming in and out of the flames in an endeavour to cnt the burniog boats adrift. Although no more trace of the shiD was found, the huge muses of flames- gradually swept out into the open. The boats bad been got away from the water's edge at the cost of the launch's crew. Meanwhile the people aboard the numerous craft were fighting help- lessly, jostling one against the other in their efforts to get to safety. Hundreds must have perished either in the flames or by drowning, and thoagh the exact. number may never be known the accepted esti- mate puts the figure at nearly 300. Cooking arrangements ate said to be responsible for the fiie.—Renter.

THE SOUTH AFRICAN HIGH COMMISSIONER. The South African High Commissioner, Lord Milner, in resigning his position as High Com- missioner in South Africa, has found the strain imposed upon him by the arduous and anxious duties of his post too severe for his health, which has never been particularly robust. It is a long time since he informed the Govern. ment that he could not go on, and he will shortly be leaving the subcontinent whose history he has done so much to make. Lord Milner received his South African appointment Lord Milner. in 1897, He is only fifty, and since 1882-1885. I when he was mainly engaged in journalism, being on the staff of the Pall MaH Gazette," be haa made rapid strides in his career. Since 1901 he has been Governor of the Transvaal and I Orange River Colonies. He was created a Bartn I in 1901, and Viscount a year later. Lord Sel. borne, who goee out to South Africa in succes- sion to Lord Milner in the above-mentioned I offices, was born in 1859, the son of Lord Chan- cellor Belborne, and is the second Earl. He entered the HonBe of Commons in the Liberal interest as Viscount Wolmer in 1885, as the repre&esentative of East Hampshire. In 1886 he was elected for the same constituency as a Liberal Unionist, and in 1892 he was returned j for West Edinburgh, a constituency which he represented until he Bucceeaed to the pacragelon the death pf Jbia father in 1895. His ftntt exper- Lord Seiborne. 1 t ence of official life was won as assistant private secretary to the Secretary of State for War, and Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr Childers, from 1882-85. When the Salisbury Ministry was firmed in 1895, Lord Selborne was.,appointed Under-Secretary at the Colonial ^Office, where he gained a. reputation for nnbounded Industry. In 1900 be was promoted to the office of First Lord of the Admiralty. He married in 1883 Lady Beatrix Maud Cecil, daughter of tbe late Lord Salisbury.

ACCIDENT ASSURANCE. I Interesting Claim at Tredegar. At Tredegar County Court on Tuesday A. O. Fisher, a master plasterer at Abertillery, claimed J636 from the Northern Accident Assur- ance Company for six weeks' accident assurance, and the company counter-claimed for JEI6, alleged to have been paid on a previous occasion nnder the same policy. The company refused to pay, contending that the proposal form con- tained a fraudulent statement, viz., that Fisher had not been insured for accident before. Plain- tiff said that in October, 1903. Mr Robertson, the Cardiff representative, called upon him, filled in a proposal form in pencil which be gave to plaintiff, and another in ink, i which he retained himself. The premium was L4 17s 6d. Plaintiff said that the represen- II tative asked the questions on the form, and he answered them. He now admitted in cross- examination that he bad been previously insured in the London, Edinburgh, and Glasgow Com- pany, just prior to this, and was paid two claims by them. After insuring with the Northern Com- pany he bad an accident in December, 1903, and was paid S.16, and the accident for which he now claimed JE56 occurred in August, 1904. The company refasing to pay, he met Mr Thompson, Bristol, the agent for the Sonth Wales district, I and Mr Robertson, the Cardiff representative, and they said they could cot pay him, as they found he had been insured before, whereas the proposal form represented otherwise. They gave him balf-an-hour to return the policy, and be handed it overafter writing "cancelled upon it, and signing an endorsement upon it to the effect that he surrendered it in consequence of a mis-statement in the oroposal. Plaintiff said he did this in the harry and flurry." It was after this he noticed that in the pencilled copy in his possession the question as to former insurance had not been filledtin, and another, and he took the proceedings. For the company Mr Walton Thompson, resident agent for the Sonth Wales district, stated that plaintiff fetched the policy and signed it as stated, and Mr J. J. Robertson, Cardiff, stated that in making the proposal he asked plaintiff all the questions and filled in the replies. It was, he said, after the original had been filled in and than eiRned by' plaintiff, that he made a copy in pencil at Fisher's request, and as he had only a few minutes to catch the tminhe did not fill in all the answers. Mr Robertson said he filled the original proposal acco-rding to the answers given befoie he filled in the pencilled copy. Judge Owen gave judg- ment for the company in the action and the connter-claim, less the pretninm paid of £ 417s6d with one set of costs.

HYDROCEPHALUS. Mrs Annie Faraham, Theodora-street,'Cardiff, told the Coroner at the Town Hall on Tuesday that ber cbild bad beeD ill for throolweeks. It was eillht months old, and on Monday she wrapped it np iu a shawl and a blanket and took it to Dr. Williams, but when she reached the surgery the child was dead. Several doctors had told her that the child had wa.ter on tha brain, and was not likely to live. She had seen several doctors during the past few months because she moved go often. Coroner What did you feed the child on ? Witness On Quaker oats. I gave him milk as well from a bottle. Dr. Williams said that the child was very poorly nourished, and had suffered from water on the brain. When the mother brought the child to him it was dead, and he believed the immediate cause of death was convulsioos. The jury brought io a YOjrdict according to the medieat tYidanow.
