Fashion and Things Feminine. By IDA MELLER. A New Corselet Skirt. The most popular mode of the moment is un- questionably the princess dress with panel front, which is subject to many pretty variations in regard to minor details. This dress is sometimes sleeveless, sometimes made with long sleeves of its own material, or with half-length sleeves finished with under ones of lace or net. It is made up in the form of a robe, the bodice cut in one with the front panel, and, again, as a corselet skirt with extended front and back panels. that allC held up with wide shoulder- straps finished with tassels. This is the fashion of the pretty dress sketched, the material being china-blue cloth, while the blouse is of guipure lace. Buttons trim the front panel, and also the panel at the back of the dress,which corresponds with the front, and on the lower part of the skirt are strappings of .c.oth with a button in each point. The fastening can be arranged at the back or in front, at the left edge of the panel. This charming model has the advantage of adapting itself to suit various occasions .since the blouse worn with it might be sometimes of soft silk to match, sometimes of fine or coarse lace. Moreover, it is suited to home or outdoor wear. Each season brings with its many fashions one particular mode that appeals more strongly than others to popular taste, and our full- length sketch this week shows one of the phases of what may fairly be termed the most captivating fashion of the day. The Latest Shirt-Blouse. The Frenchwoman, renowned for her taste in dress, has always shown a predilection more or less, for checked materials, which if well chosen have a distinction and style above the average dress materials, and when made up are well set- off by a touch of dark velvet or satin at the throat and waist. This season checks are not in the ascendant, but for this reason, perhaps they are all the more striking when introduced now and again by high-class dressmakers. Among the new French materials made up for the sum- mer are some dainty blue and white check de- laines that tailors and dressmakers are using for blouses with their coat-and-skirt costumes, and that are also seen as morning shirts and simple little frocks for hot days. Made of this new check delaine is the smart little shirt-blouse sketched, which is original in design and a pretty change from the ordinarv tucked model. The material is pleated at the neck, and the blouse fastens at the left side with a couple of loops and large buttons of white canvas, em- broidered with china-blue silks matching the colour in the check. The collar is a double one, the turn-over being faced with dark blue velvet, repeated on the cuffs. The waist-band should also be in dark blue, either kid or petersham. Similar blouses in brown and white check, and black and white are other pretty fancies for wearing with tailor-mades, while more dressy fashions are met with in blouses of spotted net, dyed in all the fashionable colours. A Knitting Bag. The woman who at odd moments takes up knitting and crochet work must needs have by her a little bag wherein to keep her work and ball of wool or crochet cotton, and she will find it a good plan to keep the ball of worsted or cotton in the bag instead of on her lap while using it, otherwise it may have an ugly trick of running away over the floor, and getting entangled among the legs of chairs and tables. The little bag illustrated is a very convenient one for the purpose referred to, as it is made with a long handle that can be slipped over the knob of a chair, and has a hole in the centre of one side, through which the crochet wool or cottoh can pass. The bag is made of crash, and is embroidered on one side, and can be bound all round with narrow ribbon or merely machine stitched. To make it, two pieces of crash are cut out to the shape sketched, and are joined through the medium of an inch-wide band of crash that gives width to the bag and runs right round the latter from each side of the neck. One long narrow strip of crash is sewn to the top of the bag, back and front, to form a handle, and this should be lined. The rest of the bag need not be lined, but, if preferred, it can have a lining of holland. An important feature is the hole that is pierced in the centre of the right side, and this must be worked firmly with button- hole stitch. The knitter will' appreciate the convenience of a handy little bag on these lines. The Health of the Hair. Cleanliness and thorough brushing are the best tonics for the hair. The mission of the brush is to clean the scalp as well as remove tangles and dust from the hair, and to give, in fact, the benefit of a massage treatment. Friction with the finger tips is also invaluable, the object being to clear away dandruff and stir up the blood until it races through the scalp and reaches the roots of each hair. Once the hair is neglected, and the scalp not stimulated to action, the hair falls. The brush should be used night and morning. the strokes firm but gentle, care being taken not to tear the hair. Part the latter in strands and get out all the tangles, then brush the hair lengthwise, letting the bristles penetrate to the scalp. This treatment preserves the health of the hair, and gets at the root of the trouble when the hair falls through inactivity of the scalp.9i If the hair is very dry a little olive oil may be used to improve it.

WILL BEHIND A PICTURE. The jury in the Probate Court on Tuesday decided in favour of Mr Robert Lewis, who claimed that his father, a Leominster butcher, died intestate. Mr Lewis alleged that at his father's request he destroyed a will under which he (plaintiff) had only a life interest, but the defendants alleged that the will, which was in the keeping of the son and left behind a picture in his room for a long time, was not destroyed at the request of the father. The jury found that the will had been destroyed with the consent of the dead man, and judg- ment was entered for the plaintiff.

dl)i IN N' tNJ Importance of Sowing Thinly. Few gardeners seem able to realise that seed- lings are ofter permanently weakened by being crowded together. Many people sow Radishes far too thickly, and if the seed germinates freely the plants soon become crowded as soon as they are in the rough leaf. It is an easy task to thin to about half an inch apart, and if this were done early roots would form quickly. Turnips, again, are often left too thick in gar- dens, and if more space were allowed between the drills the roots would form more quickly and be of better quality, for the faster such things crow the more tender they are there- fore the cultivator should see that they have room from the first. Farmers generally sow turnips in drills 27in. apart, but gardeners want to crowd three rows into that space, with the result that there is often more tops than roots. If the rows stood 15in. apart and the plants 9in. from each other in the row, the crop would be ready for use much sooner. Spinach is often left without any thinning at all, the consequence being that the plants make but poor foliage and soon run to seed. To induce large, juicy leaves the plants should have nearly a foot be- tween each other. It is seldom that cultivators have the heart to pull out young Pea seedlings, but if more space were allowed between the plants in the, rows there would be less mildew in hot weather. The value of thinning out may easily be proved if the cultivator will take the trouble to thin half a row and leave the other untouched. Strawberries for Next Year. Many do not plant their Strawberry beds until the end of the summer or autumn, and then get little, if any, fruit the following sea- son but if planted now. or up to, say, the middle of June, you will have large plants, and a heavy as well as early yield nest season. A difficulty is sometimes experienced in obtaining plants, but these should be kept over when cleaning the beds the previous autumn new varieties must, of course, be purchased. Do not attempt to grow anything else between the rows of Strawberries. The Strawberry does not require such a deep soil as other things, but it should be worked to a depth of two or three spits," liberally manured, and made quite firm, before planting. When planting fresh beds of the ordinary kinds, it is wise to make a careful selection of varieties. Royal Sovereign is now more largely grown than any other, and it is certainly the best of the early varieties, being large, bright in colour, of fairly good flavour, and very productive: but a. writer in Garden Life does not consider it by any means an ideal Strawberry-it cannot stand wet, and if much rain falls while the fruit is swelling and ripening, it rots off. Sir J. Pax- ton comes in later, but is richer in both colour and flavour and is a good traveller. Keen's Seedling is a good old Strawberry, being fairly early, a good cropper, and of excellent flavour —this is the best for town or suburban gardens. Of the newer varieties, Bedford Champion can be confidently recommended, the fruit being very large and fine. Autumn-fruiting or per- petual Strawberries require similar culture to the ordinary kinds, but they should be liberally supplied with water towards the end of the summer and in the autumn, if dry weather prevails while the late fruit is setting and swell- ing, and all the flower-trusses should be picked off until about the end of June. so as to concen- trate the strength of the plants on the later truses. Value of Rain-water Supplies. An abundant supply of rain-water is one of the most enviable accessories to a garden. In j some greenhouses there are large tanks into which all the rain falling on the roof—some- times, too, on the roofs of adjacent buildings- is conducted, and this water is not only the best for plants, but also in the best condition. It is the best because, while it is free from mineral impurities, it contains nitrogen, oxy- gen, and ammonia in solution, and it is in the best condition because it is at the same tem- perature as the atmosphere of the house-at any rate, after it has been in the tank for a few hours. This matter of temperature is very important. Water drawn direct from the main is always cold, and, unless it is first warmed, is bound to check growth. Also, it is generally hard, and to some plants, notably Heaths, Azaleas, and Rhododendrons, lime is deadly. If such water must be used for them, it should first be boiled in order to precipitate the lime. Though not many gardeners can hope to enjoy the use of a good-sized rain-water tank, after a.11 it is not usually difficult to arrange one or two or even more barrels for collecting the trainable fluid during wet weather. It will well repay expense and trouble. Mulches for Fruit Trees. A mulch may now be applied very profitably to fruit trees. An obvious advantage of the practice is that it saves labour in watering by conserving moisture in the soil during pro- longed dry-periods, But there are advantages act so apparent which it is much more im- portant to gain. In light shallow soils the mulch ,s beneficial in preventing burning of the "oof-fibres near the surface. These minute hair- ike roots are the true feeders, on them the sound health of the plants and the quantity and quality of the crop mainly depepd. It pays, .herefore, to mulch early, especially in soils ihat are liable to suffer from spells of drousrht. IVees growing in heavy retentive land also benefit from the practice. It encourages the 'ormation of those important fibrous roots at ;he surface instead of at greater depth where ihe temperature is less genial and stimulating md consequently less favourable to the promo- :lon of health, fertility, and quality in the fruit, rhe mulch should be open and porous, springy inderfoot rather than solid. Farmyard manure vben procurable is most preferable, but its sost to many is often prohibitive. Partially lecayed leaves, spent hops, litter Af any sort, nay be used even if it contains little or nothing )f nutritive quality. This can be supplied by Iressing the surface before laying on the mulch vith guano or any other of the durable com- nercial manures. Prick the surface that is to )e mulched with a fork lightly before applying ,he dressing and if the soil is dry give a gpod oaking of water immediately after, and lay on .he mulch the following day. Work in the Garden. Ferns should be cleaned by using two moist ponges, one in each hand, above and below he frond or leaf, and dabbing them gently. Worms infesting the roots of pot plants may ¡e got rid of by an application of water heated o120deg. Tomatoes may be grown in mounds of soil on lates placed over open staging in the cool louse, or in boxes, pails, large pots, &c., as nost-convenient. A mixture of two parts of good oil and one part manure will be required. Cabbages the centres of which are seen rush- ng into stalk insteed of beginning to heart, should be promptly pulled up, and the vacan- ;ies made good with seedlings. Good specimens of the turnip-rooted Celery vill be secured if strong plants are put out at ,he present time into deeply tilled rich ground, jreferably on a border facing to the south. Sow Lettuce in drills one inch deep and one 'oot asunder, scattering the seed thinly. Two ;owings may be made at an interval of a fort- night or three weeks, in order to maintain a ;]ose succession. A semi-shaded position is rnost suitable.. Brussels Sprouts which were duly pricked out should now be ready for planting in a well-ex- posed piece of ground prepared during the win- ter. Lift the plants with as much soil adhering to the roots as possible. As a preventive against slugs, place a good handful of finely-sifted cinder asheslround the stem of each plant. In reply to a correspondent. The only means of preserving potatoes from sprout- ing is to keep them in a dark place.

GREEN OLD AGE. TAKING ANOTHER LEASE OF LIFE THROUGH THE MEDIUM OF A HEALTHY AND WELL-REGULATED SYSTEM, ASSISTED BY DR. MORSE'S INDIAN ROOT PILLS. To reach a green old age and enjoy good » health can only be attained by the care of the system, which mar^ at times require a little assistance. The first essential to good health is to keep the stomach in a sound condition. It is not tne quantity of food we eat, but what we digest and assimilate that nourishes the body. Growing old ought not to mean grow- ing weak and feeble. It does not mean weakness or feebleness for those who eat with a good appetite and sound digestion. It is therefore of the utmost import- ance that old people should retain the power to digest and assimilate food which is the sole source of physical strength. When age brings feebleness it is generally because ot the failure to assimilate nutrition contained in food. To those in declining years who find that Nature responds less readily to the demands made upon her, and who need a mild, yet searching remedy, to keep their system in proper working order, there is nothing like Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills.

HEADED THE LIST. X T Archdeacon's £1,000 Donation. A new church to be devoted entirely to Welsh services is in course of erection at Tylorstown, the foundation stone of which was laid by Mrs Edmundes, wife of Archdeacon Edmundes, Llandaff Cathedral, on Tuesday afternoon. The church, which is being erected by Messrs Gough Bros., Cardiff, from the designs of Colonel Bruce Vaughan, at a cost of about JE3,000, will be 66 feet in length, with vestry and parish room accommodation. The structure is of Pennant stone, with box ground stone dressings. Mrs Edmundes has presented .the parish with the site, freehold, and the Archdeacon headed the subscription list with a donation of £ 1,000. Other members of the family also contributed. Canon Lewis briefly Archdeacon headed the subscription list with a donation of £ 1,000. Other members of the family also contributed. Canon Lewis briefly thanked Mrs Edmundes for performing the ceremony, and remarked that had it not been for her generosity and that of her family the new church would not have been possible. The archdeacon also had been a great pro- moter of religious work in the district. (Ap- plause.) Archdeacon Edmundes expressed the pleasure he felt at the advancement of the Church work at Tylorstown.

Opening Up Nigeria. TRACES OF JU-JU HORRORS. The Press Association has received details of the expedition lately concluded by the Southern Nigerian Government, as the result of which some 5,000 square miles of hitherto unknown and unadministered country in the north and on the borders of Northern Nigeria have been opened up and brought under effective control. These operations, which were carried out often under extremely diffi- cult circumstances and among tribes who for the most part had never previously seen a white man, proved entirely successful, and were so managed that there was practically no serious fighting with the tribes. These operations commenced early in Novem- ber last, and only concluded in the middle of April. The British force consisted of 700 men of the Southern Nigeria Regiment, under the command of Colonel Trenciiard, who had with him 30 officers, two millimetre guns, six Maxims, and 700 carriers. There were a few encounters in which isolated parties were attacked by the natives, but in no case was there any organised resistance or any serious attempt to hinder the advance of the British. The Yala people.in whose country the col umns remained for a month, gave a good deal of trouble. On their villages being entered they were found to be deserted, the women and live stock having been removed. The men mean- while had formed bush camps in the open yam fields, where they could see the approach of the British, and had also hidden in the branches of trees scouts, whose duty it was to fire signal cutis. The people then took to their heels and encamped elsewhere, but fired on the column when they were in what they regarded as a tight corner. This tribe, like most of those encountered, was armed with flintlocks, and carried poisoned arrows, but fortunately the country was fairly open and the aim not very accurate. After some weeks of this kind of thing the Yala came in, but declined to give up their arms. In places the natives.hearing of the approach of a large force, dug pits, and planted stakes to prevent their progress. What little hostility there was occurred during the earlier part of the operations in the Okpoto country, and among the Northern Ibo tribes. Colonel Trenchard's force started in two columns, one from the Niger and one from the Cross River, with instructions to make for an unknown spot marked X, the two afterwards joining at Ikem, where the first camp was formed. From this base small columns were sent out in various directions, each being re- sponsible for a definite district, which was to be mapped, and where the officers' duty was to get into touch with the natives and to show them how to make good roads. In each case the commanding officer of the column sum- moned the local chief and explained the Government terms, emphasising the fact that all human sacrifices must stop, good roads must be made, and that a British Commissioner would be appointed who would settle all dis- putes. Impressive Gatherings. On these occasions there were knpressive gatherings of thousands of natives, in many cases cannibals and for the most part naked, or practically so. They did not show undue delight at the advent of the British, and as a rule silently listened to the recital of the Government terms and then slowly dispersed. Various columns report that they found far less human sacrifice and ju-ju rites in the hitherto unknown north than among tribes on the delta, and on the whole the people were of a better physical type. Several ju-ju places were seen, and a big centre was destroyed. It was impossible to discover the nature of the ju-ju rites practised, but in the vicinity of one big ju-ju house discovered in a bush clearing there was found a good deal of blood, whether human or not was not ascertained. The heat was terrific, and the long marches, sometimes in waterless districts, were very trying, even to the native troops. Almost all the officers were on foot, and in many cases they had done over 1,100 miles of walking. No white mail was wounded during the whole operations, and there were only few native casualties, but the nature of the work, combined with the great heat and the water- less stretches, proved exttum.lv trying. Despite this fact, there was not much illness except during the Harmattan, when pneu- monia occurred among the carriers. Five doctors accompanied the force. Parts of the country traversed were found to be extremely hilly. The chief difficulties 1 hindering the march of the British were due to the fact that there was a great dearth of guides and interpreters, the latter being very necessary owing to the fact that every tribe spoke a different tongue. Haussa traders were found all through the country. The most distant station was established quite close to the Northern Nigeria boundary, another being about 40 miles south of Katsena AllaJi on the Katsena River.

Tinplate Trade. TWO PER CENT. CRISIS. Mr John Hodge. M.P., as general secretary of the Steel Smelters' Union, has taken prompt measures to ballot the tinplate millmen mem- bers of his Union with regard to the 2 per cent. waste, the demand for the removal of which at the Conciliation Board meeting last week pro- duced the crisis in the tinplate industry. A circular ha.s been issued urging that special meetings of the branches be held not later than Saturday next to consider the question of a strike. The circular issued states that, in conjunction with the tin and sheet millmen, We placed before the joint conference as our main claim that the 2 per cent, for waste should be deleted from the wages agreement for the ensuing year. The employers refused to con- cede the claim, arguing that the loss was much greatet than 2 per cent. As a last effort we suggested that the allowance for next year should be It per cent., and be reduced I per cent. each succeeding year until it disappeared. This too the employers refused. It was then stated that as they (the employers) had refused our proposal, the question as to whether it should be dropped or not would be placed before our constituents. If the men decided on dropping the question we would sign the agree- ment if they, on the other hand, decided to persevere with it, then another meeting would be necessary. The employers also placed before us the fact that they had raised no questions, and were hoping the workmen would not, but they reserved the right to do so, as they had grievances as well as the workmen. We now ask you to consider a clear issue before you. Are you prepared to strike for the 2 per cent. t We further ask that you should realise the possibilities that if you favour a strike it may not end with the 2 per cent." The tinplate millmen (writes our trade cor- respondent) have had placed before them, in terms well understood by them, the issues at stake in the ballot now taking place. The question plainly put is Are the miUmen pre- pared to take the responsibility of bringing about a strike involving all the associated tin- plate works in the Welsh industry for a gain of 2 per cent. ? The warning is also conveyed that if a vote is given in favour of a strike it may not end with 2 per cent." This latter point is not so clear, as it may be read to mean that other claims will be raised by the men or r by the masters. As far as the men are con- cerned, matters arising from the finishing de- partment were left open. Then the masters have grievances. All this adds to the possibili- ties of complications should the millmen's vote be in favour of abolishing the 2 per cent. allowed for waste. Everything then would depend upon a future joint conference. The tinplate millmen are members of the Steel Smelters' Union, Tin and Sheet Union, and the Dockers' Union, who are also participating in the ballot.

MOTORISTS FINED AT LLANDAFF. A number of motorists were brought before the Llandaff magisrates (Sir John Gunn and Col. Woods) on Monday, charged with exceeding the speed limit and driving at a rate dangerous to the public. Richard Houranhane, chauffeur, was fined on two summonses E3 and costs, and severely cautioned. He was driving at a very high speed through Llandaff, near Cardiff. Amongst the witnesses against defendant were Chief Constable Lindsay, Mr W. F. R. Allen (deputy clerk of Glamorgan), and Police- Sergeant F. W. Smith (3011 ex-racing cycii^t).
