Sped Coal Winding. ^Rtant trades union point. Kbrdare County Court, on Tuesday, before LV*<*yn. Roberts, the Powell Duffryn Co., represented bv Mr C. lvenshole, sued VW^es and three other workmen for £ 8 JviVk alleged to have been sustained defendants preventing the winding of VKi. e Lletyshenkin Colliery between 2 and %J6B oa December 29th last. Mr A. T. Jew. Reared for the defendants, and a jury k"f panelled at the defendants' request. KAr^shole said that a rope broke in the V WI o'clock, and a number of men who at the time came to the mouth of I "VVk Tbey were told to go back, for work "I e finished in a short time. The ground WViJPj^ecution was that while the hitcher up the coal, the defendants pre- Vt?i tk e empty trams being taken out of the l result being that the whole operations ^ere stopped for an hour, Morris, the overman of the coll- cross-examined at some length i V% hat the fall of snow that day and the day had made work very irregular, the defendants had no trams to fill James, for the defence, urged that governed by the Trades Disputes hv*bwand that no action lay. It was laid ^at Act that any action done by a r*VsL contemplation or furtherance of a JW n°t actionable. K sh°le, on the other hand, contended t this might be the case with a tliird person, it was clearly not the of the Trades Disputes Act e a man of his own breach. j Interesting Point of Law. ^.Vtj0|lour, however, said that apparency k ^°a made all acts done in furtherance dispute not actionable. Even if a his own contract he was very doubt- N^^Sif action would lie. After further discussion, it> was decided to allow the ca3e to go to the jury, his Honour intimating that even if the jory found on the facts in favour of the plaintiffs, he thought he would give a verdict for the defendants allowing the very interesting point of law to go to a higher court. For the defence Idris Davies, one of the defendants, said he went to the colliery at 7 o'clock, snow falling very heavily. In his working place lie found an empty tram there, and he and his partner (Joshua Davies) filled it by 8.30 a.m. After that they had nothing to do until 1.30 p. and seeing it was useless to stay any longer they went towards the pit bottom. On the way he saw William Evans, the overman, who said things were not right yet. He saw Frost, the traffic manager, and told him it was cruel to detain the men in that cold place until 4 o'clock. Witness asked leave to speak to the manager over the telephone. Frost promised to do so later on. He spoke to some men who went up at the end of the eight hours shift, and after waitrnguntH two-or three more cages were wound up, and no message coming back, he stopped the bitching. Evidence was also given by the three other defendants, and by David Jones, the check- weigher. The following questions were, after some discussion, left to the jury 1. Was there a trade dispute in existence ? 2. Were the acts done in furtherance of such dispute ? 3. Were the acts of the defendants done in order to induce the plaintiffs to wind up the defendants and their fellow-workmen ? 4. What damages did the plaintiffs sustain The Judge summed up atconsiderable length. The jury answered the first two questions in the negative, and the third in the affirmative, and assessed the damage at Z. Judgment was given fcr Jc3 with costs on Scale B.

Fashion and Things Feminine.…

Fashion and Things Feminine. By IDA MELLER. Easter Stropping. The eve of Easter invariably brings with it. extra shopping and hurried preparations for a brief or prolonged holiday, and, if the weather is kindly disposed, it is a season when new spring frocks and millinery receive their first outings. Hosts of girls are, no doubt, putting the finish- ing touches to their Easter outfits, running up shirts and blouses for the three or four days holiday ahead. and hastily wreathing their new bee-hive hats with strings of little roses and for- get-me-nots, cut-jet beads or other garnitures approved by fashion. The Easter outfit must needs include some dainty trifles in the way of neckwear, which is very facinating just now and embraces pretty little stand-up collars of tucked ecru net and ribbon, goffered jabots of lace-edged snow-v net,and folded bands of black and coloured satin-ribbon. Another item of dress that may be termed a trifle, but is impor- tant in its influence, is the waist-belt, which re- mains most popular in kid and is generally chosen to match the colour of the skirt with which it is worn. The woman who intends passing Eastertide in house-visiting must naturally be provided with something pretty and fashionable in the way of a house-dress. Our full-length sketch may, perhaps, appeal to her taste and help her in the matter of choosing. The corselet skirt, of cloth, fastens towards the left, and is studded up the placket seam with buttons covered with the dress material while the tucked blouse might be of washing silk or lawn, with embroidered medallions up the centre front. Various blouses could, of course, ring the changes with the one skirt, which being cut high, ensures neatness in the region of the waist. Costume Coats. It ia probable that the Easter shopping of many a woman has, for its primary object, the purchase of a tailor-made coat and skirt cos- tume,and it is probable, too, that the choice in not; a few cases will rest upon navy-bhie serge, which cannot be beaten for serviceable wear. 14ostof the smartest navy-blue costumes are trimmed with black silk braid or black satin, and with buttons either of satin or brass. There is something very attractive about a touch of black satin on navy serge, and as that touch re- quires to be but slight, the fashion is not an extravagant one. The costume-coat sketched is of dark blue serge, with blark satin facing on the collar and small buttons of similar satin strewn about, while one large satin button hold9 together the fronts, the lower parts of these being united invisibly by small flat but- tons stitched to the left front, and button-holes made in a fly-lap beneath the right front. The collar and cuffs are edged with braid. Costume skirts of cloth, serge, and other materials, are, as often as not, quite plain, or are trimmed slightly in harmony with their corresponding coats—with braid, buttons, piping, and so on, the plain skirts, when worn with rather long coats, being cut somewhat long all round. A Double Laundry Bag. A new idea for a laundry bag may appeal to some of our readers, the chief characteristic of the original of the bag illustrate^ beil'ig that it -is a double bag, so tfcat shirts, collars and other things that require starching, may be separated from the finer clothing and plain laundry. The materials required for the bag azejl ya-rds of cretonne or coloured linon, J yaEd-«f white linen or sateen, five yards of tape, and two half-yard lengths of curtain-atack, such as is run in the hems of blinds. A hole must be bored in the ends of the wood. To make the bag, cut the cretonne in half, and, if there is an up and down to the pattern, reverse one piece. Cut in the centre of each piece of cretonne an opening of about 15 inches in length, and bind each edge with tape. Then lay the three pieces of material (sateen and cretonne) evenly together, putting the sat- een between the two pieces of cretonne. Bind the three pieces with tape, after which, two inches from the top, run the first line of stitching for a casing to hold the wood. Slip each stick into its place, the white material sandwiched between the sticks, and, holding the latter carefully, stitch just below them to complete a casing. The binding with tape at the top corners of the bag must, of course, be delayed until after the sticks are inserted. Gather the bag on to the wood and sew se- curely'through the holes at each end finally, add tapes or ribbons to hang the bag by. The wood will always keep it firmly in place. The dividing line of sateen renders the bag a double one, therefore, more than ordinarily convenient for its, purpose.

8' Shade for the Greenhouse.

8' Shade for the Greenhouse. The season is approaching -whezi I lie provision of some sort of shading for the greenhouse is a matter of importance. A considerable amount of heat has to be maintained on cold, windy days in early spring, but there is always the likelihood of sudden bursts of bright sunshine, which rapidly cause the temperature to rise to an alarming degree, and may do damage in a moment. Under these conditions blinds are particularly serviceable, but it is necessary to be vigilant and to exercise considerable djs- crimination in their use. More often a perma- nent wash sufficiently thick to ward off the effects of the hottest summer sun is applied. On the succeeding dull days the bad effects upon the light-loving plants underneath are very marked, and blinds of tiffany, mounted on a roller and let up and down by pulleys, would soon save their cost. When a wash is employed it is much better to use one of the made-up preparations, home-made admixtures of whit- ening, sour milk, flour, tallow, &c.. having the knack of cither coming off during the first shower o? rain or refusing to come off at all. A whitewash brush is the best tool with which to apply shnd-5 > ,)pagating Anemones. Among the most beaut-ii'u! and most useful plants in the garden, Anemones are excellent for beds, border, or rockery they make an ad- mirable ground covering for taller plants they I will flower in the shade, if it is not too dense and if the roots arc planted at different times and in different positions their season may be i prolonged through many months. They ,.re i easily raised from seed. But whether it is sown in boxes or in theopen ground, the soil. must he I very fine, light, and smooth, and I;a seed, which is extremely small, barely covered, the slightest sprinkling of sand being sufficient. To prevent drying, the ground should b?< shaded, especially if the sowing is in the summer, and if a box is used it should be covered until the young plants appear. The seeds are attached to feathery appendages, which under natural conditions help to distribute them, floating them away on the wind. When they are massed in a packet, these appendages hold them to- gether, and should, therefore, be got rid of by rubbing the whole in a handful of dry sanG. The seeds are then released and can be sewir with the sand, the rest being thrown away. 011 Herbaceous Borders. There is no doubt that herbaceous borders are much benefited by being thoroughly re- trenched and maaured, and their contents re- arranged every second or third year. To do this satisfactorily a considerable amount of know- I ledge of herbaceous plants is required. Not only must they be properly placed as regards height, but the colour scheme has to be con- santly kept in mind (the detail in which the gardener is most likely to fail) and while most herbaceous plants are benefited by lifting, there are others, such as Peonies and Hellebores, which do not like it. It is tempting to reduce clumps to the required dimensions by the easy expedient of chopping off portions with a spade but this often means the destruction of the most vigorous parts and replanting the worn-out centres, a practice to be unhesita- tingly condemned, says the Field." A herba- ceous border which, while being adequately sheltered by a wall or greenhouse on the north or east side, is well removed from the hungry roots of trees comes nearest to the ideal. How to Grow Flowers for Cutting. It is true to say that however bare and ill- furnished a room may be it can be made to take on an appearance of beauty if flowers are taste- fully arranged about it. In almost every case the best effects are only to be obtained by gathering the healthier blooms before they are mature, and thus a considerable tax is laid upon the decorative value of the garden. On that ac- count the suggestion to set apart in all gardens but the tiniest a small plot for the cultivation of hardy-and half-hardy animals is worth atten- tion. A narrow border might be claimed from beds in the vegetable garden, if preferred, for the purpose. The hardy kinds will, of course, be sown in the open ground, and provided the ground is deeply dug and well manured, and the subsequent treatment is correct—namely, to allow each and every plant ample room, for development, and to saturate the ground oc- casionally in times of drought, abundance of flowers for cutting will be available over the whole of the season. Suggested Plants and Varieties. The numerous varieties of Poppies are inval- uable, and, though short-lived, can always be renewed. A small bed of Iceland Poppies will, if encouraged with a stimulant now and again, yield an uninterrupted succession of lovely blossoms over many months. On account of their light and elegant habit of growth, the Corcopses or Calliopses must not be ignored; an important point in their cnltirre 15 to sow thinly, and to thin out to a foot apart in their early stages, otherwise they run to flower pre- maturely. The miniature Sunflowers are as use- ful as they are profuse, while the Larkspurs give us blue, white, and rose colouring in plenty. The same applies to the Cornflowers, which associate so well with the common field Poppy. The Linums take high rank, and should be gathered just before they expand; and beau- tiful indeed are the annual Lupins, with their great length of flowering stem. Annual Chrysanthemums are but one more in the long list which probably each gardener will prefer to extend for himself. Amongst the half-hardy annuals, the more refined varieties of Asters must find a place. Every section of Stock should be represented, and the best way to utilise them for decorative work is to lift the plants bodily, writes Mr W. H. Aggett in Garden Life." The Salpigloasis are wholly charming and useful. Both the single and double forms of Dianthua must be grown, and the towering Scabious in improved varieties are indispensable. Much beanty is found in Phlox Drummondi grandiflora, and a point in its favour is that it continues to bloom until stricken by frost. A bed of the ornamental Grasses should combine with Gypsophila ele- gans in rose and white, to supply the lightest of material to associate with the flowers and the Nemesias and Schizanthuses, which should be sown in the open garden early in April, and are as light and elegant as can be desired. Shrubs for Hedges. The common Quick, the Hornbeam, and Beech can be recommended as forming good Hedges, and are practically the only deciduous plants which are available for this purpose. Among the Evergreens, of which a great num- ber of different varieties can be employed, the common Holly may be mentioned, this being, perhaps, the most useful of all. The Yew Box, Silver Birch, and Evergreen Oak may also be used with advantage, the last named being par- ticularly hardy and impervious to wind and hard cutting. The Yew and the Box have many points in their favour, as their roots are com- pact, and keep close at home. On the other hand, Amateur Gardening points out, the Laurel, although forming an admirable hedge when properly pruned, is possessed of long rambling roots which are apt to exhaust the whole of the surrounding soiL The common Privet is inexpensive, and will form a very compact, well-furnished hedge, in a compara- tively short space of time. Work in the Garden. Cuttings of all kinds in the open air should be examined to see that they have not been loosened by the recent severe frosts if so. put in place again. Make the soil quite firm about them by treading. If the ground is not already too wet, lay a thin mulch all over the cutting beds, for drying wmds may cause them to become badly with- ered. Dust seedlings coming up outdoors with soot that has been exposed to the air some time to prevent damage by slugs. Strawberry beds should be hoed in fine weather. Unless weeds are destroyed now there is sure to be trouble when straw is laid down, for it will then be difficult to get at them.

MR ROOSEVELT STARTS. New York, Tuesday.—Mr Roosevelt and his son embarked to-day at Hoboken on board the liner Hamburg, which was dressed with flags in his honour. The pier was also gay with bunting. The ship's band played the Star Spangled Banner" and Die Wacht Am lihein." A large crowd which had gathered on the pier warmly cheered the ex- President, and others of his friends chartered A tug and accom- panied the Hamburg down the harbour.— Reuter. Along the whole route frbm Oyster Bay to Hoboken, the ex-President was given a most enthusiastic reception. He motored across New York City and passed for the first time through the new tunnel under the Hudson River, driving past 3,000 cheering citizens of Hoboken. The streets in the neighbourhood of the Hamburg-American Pier were so packed with admirers of the ex-President that Mr Roosevelt got caught in the crush and lost his hat and a small k-ather case which he carried in his pocket. A large force of police restored order and escorted Mr Roosevelt to the gang- way and restored the lost articles to him.— Reuter.

-_> Tapiff Evils. RETALIATION A FAILURE. Address by Mr F. H. Lambert. Mr F. H. Lambert, J.P., delivered an address on Free Trade in Crwvs-road Council School, Cardiff j on Tuesday evening, under the auspices of the Cardiff Liberal Association. Councillor W. Jenkins presided. In the course of a ck>sely-reasoned speech, } in which striking figures and facts were given to show the great superiority of a Free Trade j over a Tariff policy for this country, Mr Lam- bert proved that no country by retaliation was able to get its goods into other countries at a lower tariff than the country which did not re- sort to retaliation. The latter country, indeed, | had the advantage. America, which resorted to retaliation, had to pay the maximum tariff on all its goods sent to Francc, whereas England, being non-retaliatory, was permitted to send its goods into France at the minimum tariff. (Applause.) By a reference to France he also indicated how tariffs instead of helping the export trade retarded it. France resorted to tariffs, and its exports in 1875 amounted to £ 155,000,000. and in 1907 to 1229,000,000. England, without tariffs, exported in 1875 1223,000.000 worth of goods, and in 1907 1436,000.000. These figures demon- strated strikingly how much better it was to have a free trade rather than one re- stricted and hampered by tariffs. Even the Americans had had to!go in for a reduced tariff. He also showed most convincingly how disas- trous would be the effect of tariffs on the ship- ping industry. Did they wish to risk the des- truction of our great shipping industry by the introduction of obstructive tariffs ? Mr Lam- bert described some of the evils of tariffs in- flicted upon those countries which, under a mistaken notion, resorted to them. The paid lecturers who were going about this country advocating the introduction of tariffs were, he added, paid by money subscribed by the land7 owners, who hoped by fexing foreign corn to be able to squeeze more rent out of the tenant farmers at home. (Applause.) He quoted from Mr Chamberlain's Tariff Commission report, the Commissioners speaking of the advan- tages the French manufacturer gained from lower wages, longer hours of work, the absence of Trade Union restrictions designed to increase the comfort of the workers, and the absence of restrictions on child labour. Mr Lambert reiterated that the Tariff Commissioners spoke of these things as advantages," and said the Tariff Commissioners ob- viously were down on Trades Unions, com- fortable conditions, reasonable hours, and fair wages. The workers of this country, therefore, might know what to expect if the tariff advo- cates were put into a position to dictate the policy of this country. In conclusion, he demonstrated the vital importance of cheap food in this country. At the close a very cordial vote of thanks was passed to Mr Lambert for his instructive address.
