BEHBB The Children's Tea Table. It is always a pleasure to a mother to make her children's tea table inviting. Some do this by providing fancy cakes and pastries from the nearest pastry-cook, but the after- effects of such fare too often proclaim its unwholesomeness. Nothing is more welcome to the children than nice little scones and simple cakes freshly baked at home, and these can be made very quickly and easily with the help of the new Paisley Flour, made by Brown & Poison, of Corn Flour fame. No yeast or baking powder is required, as Paisley Flour does the work of raising, and at the same time improves the flavour and digestibility of whatever is baked with it. Brown & Poison's Paisley Flour Makes an Inviting Tea-Table. U

AN EXTRAORDINARY NOVEL.
AN EXTRAORDINARY NOVEL. A powerful novel, and one of extraordinary characteristics in more way-, than one, is L. T. Meade's "All Sorts." Its eep human interest —for it is one of those books which one cannot put down until it is finished, its sincere moral tone, and the little-known sidei of life whose secrets it reveals with unflagging interest to the end, endear it to all liction-lovcrs. Tho charming and unconventional heroine, daugh- ter of an aristocratic family, is introduced to tha reader in the midst of fashionable life. portrayed with a sure hand. Duchesses and countesses are her friends. In a moment, by a transition truly dramatic, the girl stands alone, her friends aloof, her fortune gone, her helpless lady-mcther ruined in pur-e pnd spirit. The adventures of the girl and the story of the two who wooed and the one who wedded her. form a drama we will not spoil by antici- pating the story. It is a book. too. of remark- able courage. In a passage which has led to great discussion in literary circles and cau-el the authoress to be interviewed by a London newspaper as to its motive, she has not hesi- tated to introduce the name of a, widely-adver- tised article. When questioned on this point, the authoress disclaimed all knowledge of the erossip it had (as all the world knows) created. She was, in fact, asked bluntly whether this was a paid advertisement, and as bluntly re- plied that it was certainly not o. "I have." she said. "a motive in every thing I write--to portray accurately the circum- stances which I try to describe. Here I was writing a conversation. I asked myself what is the sort-of thing a woman would be likely to say wb* t her friend remarked that she had been suffjpng from indigestion. I considered that her impulse would be to recommend something. I have heard these pills highly spoken of for indigestion I have heard doctors speak favourably of them, and. of course, I have read in the newspapers what people say they have done for them. Consequently, this was the first remedy that occurred to me, and I named it. I wanted to make the conversa- tion life-like. I wanted (as I always dc) to do good work, and I should have written any- thing—anything." Mrs. Meade repeated, "which seemed to me to conduce to that end." The passage referred to is as follows:- "I have suffered a good deal lately from indigestion," replied mother in her gentle tones. "And a, bad thing it i-a very bad thing," said Mrs. Fanning. "I cured myself with Dr. Williams' pink pills for pale people. Did you ever try 'em, Mrs. Wickham?" "Xo." replied mother, gravely. "Well, wellj they pulled me round. Albert was terribly concerned about me a year ago. I couldn't fancy the greatest dainties you could give me. I turned against my food, and as to going upstairs, why, if you'll believe me. I could have no more taken possession of that attic next to your young daughter than I could have fled. Now there isn't a stair in Britain would daunt me; I'd be good for climbing the Monument any fine morning, and it's all owing to Williams' pink pills. They're a grand medicine." Of course, a reference of this sort is almost unexampled in literary history; but there is no question of the author's good faith; and, indeed, this subject is much "in the air" just now, and the attention excited by the reports that have been published by the proprietors of Dr. Williams' pink pills concerning the cures effected account for the interest which they attract. There is hardly a village, and cer- tainly not a town. in this country that does not possess its local "miracle"—some invalid ar cripple, or some sickly man or woman, made strong and well by Dr. Williams' pink pills. They are even said to have made their way into Royal circles: and the "Court Journal." more than a year ago, commented on their popularity in the highest ranks of Society. "The practice of'pink' pill-taking, so lavishly encouraged by bold advertisement," said Royalty's favoured chronicle, "is said to be making upward progress in Society, and report haa it that the product of the 'only genuine' manufacturer—the pill with the seven-worded name so often displayed before our eyes with piteous entreaty to shun all pills with a 'miss- ing word' in their title-has penetrated to the most exalted circles. However this may be. it is not to be questioned that pale people in the highest walks of Society are availing them- selves of 'Dr. Williams' discovery, and com- paring notes, not without satisfaction at the improvement in their personal appearance thereon resulting." "All Sorts" is emphatically a book to read and to buy. E6960

I WELSH COAL TRADE.
I WELSH COAL TRADE. MR. FICKABD, M.P., AT ABER. TILLERY. Mr. B. Pickard, M.P.. president of the Miners' Federation of Great Britain, attended a mass meeting of miners of the district at the Abertillery Market-hall on Monday evening, under the presidency of Mr. Alfred Thomas, M.P.—Mr. Alfred Onions proposed a resolution expressing gratification at the pro- grc3s of the South Wales Miners' Federation, and pledging itself to aim at securing a mini- mum wage for all colliery workmen, eight hours from bank to bank, an amended Mines Regulation Act, and amendments in the Workmen's Compensation Act.—Mr. Geo. Barker (Abercarn) seconded.—Mr. B. Pickard, in sup- porting the resolution, said that Wales during the recent strike had fought one of the bravest battles ever men took in hand. He knew the history of the South Wales coalfield, and there was not a mining community that had accepted such low wages and worked so many lionra for that low wage. The 30 per cent. minimum was the living wage of the Federa- tion, and they had been standing 30 per cent. higher since 1892. They did not intend to go below it. but hoped to reach 60. and owners coaid pay 60 better than 55. Colliery owners in South Wales could give 50 per cent. advance next week if they desired, and make a reason- able profit. He characterised the charges of the coal merchants against the colliers that they were irregular as an insnlt, and as to A coal famine, it was humbug, for in Yorkshire they could not take too coal away from the collieries. The returns showed that they were not stagnating the trade.

When the Cow Dies
When the Cow Dies we hear how much milk she gave. But we ought to have heard of it before. Pity to leave the good things we have to say about our loved ones until they are gone. Flowers on graves are right and seemly, but it is better. we think, to give love-tokens to the living rather than the dead. The Cow gave good milk, and much of it, during a long life, but report said nothing of it, and thought less; but at her decease her virtues told out were so many 'twas enough to resurrect her. "My late wife," or "my poor dear husband." said with a semi-sanctimonious whine, is enough to make the poor creatures turn in their graves. They gave a. lot of milk. but they themselves were never told of it. Page Woodcock, of Lin- coln, dees a lot of good all the year round.

SAD BURNING FATALITY AT NE,ATH.
SAD BURNING FATALITY AT NE,ATH. At an inquest held at Melincrythan, Neath, on Monday touching the death pf the twelve- months-old daughter of Walter Thomas, a mason, of Cecil-street, Melincrythan, evidence was given by the mother that she was seated at a table close to the fire, when she was seized. with a fit. The baby was on her lap, and when she recovered consciousness it was lying on the floor by the grate in flames.- Medical evidence was to the effect that death resulted from shock due to burns.— The Coroner called the father and said:—"I learn that yon were drunk at the time? '— Thomas: "I had had a drop too much."—The Coroner: "Yes; :1, good many drops too much. You ought to be ashamed of yourself." —The jury returned a verdict in accordance with the medical testimony.

BULLETS DEMONSTRATION
BULLETS DEMONSTRATION (From the "Daily Telegraph" War Correspondent. By Special Arrangement for Simultaneous Publication. FRERE CAMP, Saturday (9.35 p.m.). With the object of holding the Boers in position around Colenso. a large force of troops moved out from Cbieveley Camp at ¡ two o'clock this afternoon. The naval guns opened the demonstra- tion with a heavy fire upon the enemy's lines. The dispositions were as follow — Lord Dundonald's cavalry moved forward .towards the Tugela, whilst the centre. left, and right went in the direction of Hlangwana. General Hildyard's brigade marched in extended order upon Colenso. The Fusilier brigade proceeded to the southern base before HIIlllg- wana. Numbers of Boers were seen galloping up to occupy trenches. A few shots were fired from the enemy's Mausers at our cavalry and General Hild- yard's infantry, but we had no casualties. Two of our batteries proceeded to within 1,500 yards of Colenso. and shelled the Boer position vigorously: but the Boers were not to be drawn into opening their fire. An artiliery duel continued till dusk, when the troops all returned to camp. The Boer cannonading from Buhvana Hill at Ladysmith ceased at five o'clock this evening.
LADYSMITH BEFORE THE ATTACK.
LADYSMITH BEFORE THE ATTACK. from the" Daily Telegraph" Special Correspondent. By Special Arrangement for Simuttaneoul Publication. LADYSMITH, Tuesday (by runner to Frere Camp, Saturday, 7.10 p.m.). The Boers still continue the bombard- ment, but make no attempt to approach the town. From Bulwana Hill their guns shelled us very vigorously yesterday. Three of our men were killed. The position here is perfectly safe, and can be held as long as necessary, the enemy being evidently afraid to attack. Necessaries are still plentiful, and the stores are sufficient to last for a con- siderable time. The health of the troops and inhabitants is fair, though some dysentery and enteric fever prevails. News' of Sir Redvers Buller's advance is encouraging the garrison, and the troops are as determined and plucky as at the beginning of the siege. There is no cause for anxiety, but all in Ladysmith will be glad when relief comes..1

SWANSEA STIPENDIARY-SHIP.
SWANSEA STIPENDIARY- SHIP. CORPORATION AND THE HOME OFFICE. The Homa Secretary h;s at length written to the mayor and town-clerk of Swansea on the subject of the vacant appoint- ment of stipendiary magistrate, and the letter will be considered at the meeting of the general purposes committee to-morrow (Wednes:lay). The Home Office acknowledge having overlooked the formalities of procedure set down by law. and state that the petition of the town council was expected in due cour-3. The Mayor of Swansea, when seen on the subject by our representative, f-taid that it was hoped to do without a stipendiary, for some little time at any rate. and that the stipend might be saved for a year or two whilst a trial of the unpaid was made. Before any c3mmunication was rsceived by the Home Secretary a communication had been made to the magistrates' clcrk to this effect, and he had promised to give his assistance.
THE TIN-PLATE TRADE.
THE TIN-PLATE TRADE. Exports of tin-plates from Great Britain to this country (says the "American Artis-3n") have been steadily declining. For the first nine months of last year the quantity did not exceed 43,180 tons, compared with 52 678 tons for the same period in the previous year, and 64.746 tons in 1897. While there has been a steady decline in our imports of plates the quantity of tin-plate on which drawback has bean allowed varies but little in 1899 as com- pared with preceding years. A strange thing about the drawback on tin for 1899 is that the quantity of tin on which drawback is allowed is greater than the imports of tin in the same period. The drawback in 1384 was 97,435.0891b.; in 1887. 123.203.6271b.; in 1890, 150.112,C07.b.; in 1893, 128.863.2271b.: in 1896, 137,659,179ib.; and in 1899, 122,906,6821b.

RATEPAYERS AND THE, CORPORATION…
RATEPAYERS AND THE, COR- PORATION BILL. AN ABRUPT ADJOURNMENT. A meeting of ratepayers was held at the Town-hall, Cardiff, on Monday evening to con- sider the various clauses in the Corporation Bill now before Parliament, and, if thought desirable, to approve the same. The Mayor (Mr. S. A. Brain) presided, and he was sup- ported by most of the members of the cor- poration. The Crown Court, in which the was held, was crowded. The Mayor, who was applauded on taking his seat. first wished the burgesses present a happy New Year, and then expressed pleasure at seeing such a largo attendance, which showed that public spirit in Cardiff was not dead. and that they interested themselves in the public work of the town. The Town-clerk (Mr. J. L. Wheatley). in response to a call from the Mayor, read the minutes the meeting had been called to con- sider. THE MAYOR EXPLAINS. The Mayor then explained that that was a statutory meeting, convened to give the rate- payers an opportunity of expressing their opinion on the Bill their representatives, col- lectively, had thought it expedient to promote for their benefit and welfare. The town grew from year to year, and there had been an extraordinary advance in all departments of human endeavour and activity. The economic position of Cardiff was entirely different from what it. was ten or fifteen years ago, and the remarkable industrial development of the dis- trict had resulted in an immense increase ;n the size and population of the town. As to their commercial growth, a keen interest had been shown in local self-government. The corporation had striven to do its best for the interests of Cardiff, and he invited them 1o give the several matters careful and serious consideration. He suggested that five minutes I be allowed to each speaker, a suggestion, apparently, acceptable to the meeting, upon the ground that silence gives consent. The first subject that he brought before them was the western district sewer, worked out by the borough engineer, and they would agree it was essential the town should be safeguarded against disease by a thorough system of drainage. The Mayor then formally proposed a resolution approving the council's schcmc of an outfall sewer. Alderman J. Rarasdale, in seconding the proposition, referred to the Bill of 1894, which they carried to a certain point Evidence was given on that occasion which ought not to be given, which was not creditable to those who gave it. and not beneficial to the interests of the people themselves. The corporation lost the Bill to the discredit and dishonour and disadvantage cf the interests of the town. (Hear, hear.) This year they were going to Parliament on the advice of the best engineers in the kingdom, and he claimed that from beginning to end they had tried to protect the' health of the people of Cardiff, and that was I their first consideration. (Hear, hearj Thay were not too cowardly to spend money in the I interests of the health of the people. I Mr. Solcmon Andrews: The five minutes is up ("Hear, hear," and applause.) Alderman Ramsdale: The mayor has not limited me to five minutes. If he has. I am sorry for Mr. Solomon Andrews. (Cries of "Time.") The Mayor said this was a very important matter, and he appealer! that Alderman Rams- dale shou'd be given a fair hearing. Alderman Ramsdale (continuing) said the public works committee urged him to say that this sewer wa: an absolute necessity. (Hear, hear.) They had thought the matter over for the past six years, ar.d were sati-fied that this was the host scheme that could be intro- duced. (Hear, hear) 31r. Jolip Jenkins, in supporting the resolu- tion. said, as a resident cf the western dis- trict. he spoke with some experience. The people in Canton and Grangetown had for years been fiotTeving from sewer gas, through the incapacity of the we?tern sewer. Speak- ing geographically, the proposed situation was the best they conld get. They had taken the greatest po--ible caro that the sewer will not interfere with any schemes which had been suggested, and which, undoubtedly, would! come about again. If they carried out the scheme which had been proposed by other people, there could never be a Windsor Dock. He chaiicnged any man to try and represent I eitjier Grangetown if he was unprepared t-ol vote for the scheme wh:ch the corporation were placing before them. -He advised those present not to be led or drawn by people who had no interest in Cardiff, but who were opposed to the Bill at the present time. (Ap- plause.) First Notes of Discord. Mr. T. H. Riches said he had come there to opnose the scheme proposed bv the corporation. Whan Mi-. Harp-ir gave evidence before the House of Lords he was asked as to the sewer from Cardiff to Lavernock. and he said. "I should think no sara man would consider that." That was a little mystifying and dim- cult for them to understand in view of the present proposal. should like to know how the sanity had been changed for insanity. ("Hear. hear." and applause.) He (Mr. Riches) was a Cardiff boy. and he gave way to no man in Cardiff in his desire to see the dignity and usefulness of the town increased. Here was a scheme which proposed to carry the sewage six miles and a quarter, when a much shorter route would suffice. It was what he might call a wild-cat scheme. and he thought they would all condemn the proposal that the overflow should be dis- charged into the River Ely. On a rising tide the sewage would be carried up the stream and into the districts which they wanted to protect, probably as far as Ely. (Aonlause.) It was proposed to spend £ 180,003 on this scheme, which, he contended, was a much too heavy expenditure. (Applause.) The Mayor emphasised the importance of an overflow for storm water. Councillor Vcall, in reply to Mr. Riches, oohited out that at the time it would have been most insane to go to Lavernock through the then opposition of the War Office. Alderman David Jones (speaking from the jury-box) said he was an older Cardiff boy than Mr. Ricfies, and. 31th0uh not a member of the Taff Vale Railway Company, he was yet a burgess of Cardiff. (Applause.) Mr. Riches: You have no right to say that. You have no right to refer to me in that capacity. (Applause.) The Mayor did not think Alderman Jones had said anything disrespectful. Alderman .Tones: Certainly not. • "We have the alderman proceeded, when he was the alderman proceeded, when he was assailed with cries of "Rats" and "Sit down." which emanated mostly from the gallery. Glancing upwards, the alderman. with a dramatic gesture, and with fiery decla- mation. ob-erved, Are you afraid of what I shall say, you curs?" (Uproar.) "You who have come here to boo everyone down who does not think as you do." (Confusion.) "You have not come to give fair play. You have come to order. I defy the lot of you." (Renewed uproar.) Uproarious Proceedings. A Ratepayer: Use arguments—not personal insults. Alderman Dd. Jones: Sit down. ("Time," &c.) Be silent. Hear me. Alderman Richard Cory: Fair play! Alderman Dd. Jones: I shall not be put down by any amount of opposition. I have attended too many public meetings to be-, shut up by anyone who makes a incise with- 1 out reason. Mr. Riches might have some knowledge of the matter, bnt he remembered the time when the same gentleman sought to impose a tax upon the people of Grangetown whq passed over a. bridge—uproar)—q, move- ment which aroused the opposition of-every- one on the Grangetown side. (Cries of Sit clown.") The aidernnn proceeded: You don't want to hear me. You have made up your minds before you came here. (Uproar.) Point- ing to the most belligerent of his intErruptors, II the alderman said in a loud, peremptory voice, "Sit down; sit down!" (Cries of "Shame!") The alderman, with unruffled serenity, said. "Ah! I have not half done yet. I appeal to the mayor whether I may not speak without these interruptions. ("Shame.") Mr. Riches was a member of the corporation when-- Mr. Riches: He is forgetting what I have said as to the sewers. (Renewed disturbance.) Alderman David Jones: At that time we were opposed—(interruptions and cries of "Go on")—we were, I say, opposed by Mr. Riches when we contemplated a bridge across the Taff for the purpose of relieving—("Rats")—for the purpose of relieving the inhabitants of Grangetown from the tax sought to be imposed upon the people. A Ratepayer protested against insinuations and inuendoes and the importation of selfish motives. Taff Vale Railway and the Scheme. Mr. Anmon Beasley (manager) said he was there as representative of the Taff Vale Rail- way Company, and, to put himself perfectly in order, he had documents unger the seal of the company constituting him their represen- tative. Mr. Riches had told them that he was there in his private capacity. Alderman Jones: No doubt. Mr. Beasley: Well. Mr. Riches is quite capable of taking care of himself. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Beasley went on to maintain that Taff matters had nothing to do with the ques- tion before the meeting, and if a ratepayer who paid rates of £ 50 had a right to come there and speak without motives being attri- buted to him. a. representative of the Taff Vale Company had a still greater right to be there and to express his feelings without having motives attributed to him. (Applause.) They possessed one-twentieth of the entire property of the borough, and. having that interest in Cardiff, he asked. Had they not a right to be represented? (Applause.) The mayor, he was sure unintentionally, had misrepre- sented the clause in the Bill relating to the proposed sewer, which he (the speaker) said would enable them. not only at times of flood, but every hour of every day, to turn sewage into the river—(opposition)—and he defied any- one to contradict him. (Applause.) Alderman Ramsdale: We do contradict that. (Applause.) Mr. Beasley: I am perfectly certain the town-clerk will not contradict me. If he does, he does not understand the meaning of his own clause. (Applause.) The Mayor read the clause, which contained the words "or other cause," and at this there was great cheering. An Abrupt Termination. Mr. Heald (Cathedral-road) appealed to the meeting not to be 'gulled by people who knew absolutely nothing about the points in dis- pute. (Hisses greeted Mr. Heald's declaration.) The Mayor: In the interests of Cardiff. do what you consider necessary for a scheme which has been too long delayed. If there is any further delay it won't be our fault. (Cries of "Vote.") A gentleman her rose and said he had been deputed to apply for an adjournment, on behalf of a large number who had been unable to get in. The Mayor (pointing to the gallery): There is plenty of room up there. Alderman R. Cory: Hundreds can't get in. Mr. J. Monday: I propose that we adjourn. Alderman Cory: Adjourn, adjourn. The general feeling was in favour of post-I poning the prooeedings to a larger room the Park-hall was mentioned—and Alderman Jones supported the adjournment, which was agreed to, with only two or three dissentients. The Mayor -,aid they would have to wait some time for the Park-hall, and in the mean- time the whole matter would be delayed. The proceedings then abruptly terminated.

BI-MONTHLY CUP BOGEY.
[BY "WELSH ATHLETE."] With the exception of Boxing Day, when the Brogden Bowl. an open trophy. was competed for, there has not bezn much play at Porthcawl during the holidays. In the competition for j the trophy in question Mr. Hastings Watson, the holder, turned out, but was not in his usual form. The. result was a tie between Messrs. Pitchford. Kent. and Marshall. Mr. Marshall, who lives just out of London, has retired, how- ever, so that the tie for the decision of the final will lie between Messrs. Pitchford and Kent, and will be played off on Saturday next. Below are a few of the scores:- H. E. H. Kent 6 } J. Pitchford 6 r tie. R. Marshall 6 Rev. D. Davies 9 W. S. Vivian 11 Dr. Williams, Lewis Jenkins, E. Breffit, H. B. Low, and H. Watson-no returns. Next Saturday the second team play Glamor- ganshire II. at Porthcawl. Saturday was medal day at Porthcawl, but owing to the bad weather, I understand that several who had entered had to leave off in the middle of their round. Mr. Sydney Robinson proved to be too winner with the following corc :-114, 18, 96. At Penarth on Saturday the bi-monthly cup was played for, and, despite the heavy rain, there was a fair attendance. At present it is impossible to state the actual winner of the competition, although the scores are in, for several of the cards were not returned in accor- dance with the new rnles that the club adopted on the 1st of January, 1930. According to Rule 4 of the special rules for stroke competi- tion. the score of the marker shall be signed by the marker and counter-signed by the com- petitor. In several instances on Saturday this was not done, and now it rests with the com- mittee to decide the question. Rules are made to be adhered to, and the committee, doubtless, recognise that they have a duty to perform in the case in question, for any weakness on their part would, doubtless, form a very awkward precedent on future occasions. The rule in question reads as follows:- "(4) The scores shall be kept by a special marker, or by the competitors noting each other's scores. The scores marked shall be checked after each hole. On completion of the round, the score of the competitor shall be signed by the marker, counter-signed by the competitor, and handed to the secretary or his deputy, after which, unless it be found that a card returned shows a score below that actually played (in which case the competitor shall be disqualified), no correction or altera- tion can be made." The scores in the competition in question are appended:— BI-MONTHLY CUP BOGEY. H'cap. W. Gibbs r. 16 all square.. A. P. Thomas 14 1 down. H. W. Flint 9 2 J. G. Thomas 5 3 „ A. M. Ingledew. 6 0 J.

Mr. John Ball, junior, the amateur cham- pion (says the "Sporting Life" note writer), is as much delighted at passing the medical examination for service with the Imperial Yeomanry as was Lieutenant F. G. Tait, when he received his orders to proceed to the front. Golfers are bearing themselves worthily in the present crisis, and the fact that both finalists in last season's amateur champion- ship will soon be doing their country's work is sufficient to convey a very good idea of the manner in which followers of the royal and ancient game are responding to the call. Another good player who hopes to go out is Mr. T. C. Fitzherbert, the winner of the Mid- land Counties annual tournament last year and runner-up in the Yorkshire Championship.

INTERVIEWS WITH OTHER CENTENARIANS.
INTERVIEWS WITH OTHER CENTENARIANS. Cardiff, in relation to longevity, occupies a position which is quite unique. It has two centenarians—one 107 years of age and the other 105—both of Irish nationality, and both hailing from a village near Skibbereen. The best known, and the oldest of the two, is Mr. Timothy Hayes, Bedford-street, Roath, who, during his residence in Cardiff alone, has ex- ceeded the short span allotted to men on earth. Until very recently Mr. Hayes attended early morning Mass regularly every Sunday at St. Peter's Church, and was more erect in bear- ing, and showed less signs of "breaking-up," than many counted to have attained a patriarchal age, but who were his juniors by twenty years and more. Mr. Hayes, we regret to say, at last shows signs of failing health. The second centenarian—scarcely less remark- able-is Mrs. Sullivan, 4, Ruperra-street, who retains all her faculties, and has a wonderfully retentive memory, especially of events that happened in her childhood, and exciting inci- dents of the Irish Rebellion of 1798. Besides being possessed of this phenomenal memory, she is a fluent conversationalist, and loves to talk of things which so very few. besides her- self, are now living to recall. The old lady says her father's name was Jerry Driscoll, and she was christened in the same church as Timothy Hayes. She had three sisters and four brothers, all of whom have passed away. She was married in the "ould counthry" to Dennis M'Carthy, by whom she had eight sons and four daughters, with one of whom (Mrs. Leary), now quite an elderly- woman, she lives, not, it is true, in luxury, but comparatively in comfort for her station in life. And it must not be supposed that she is in any sense a burden to those who administer to her wants with the most kindly solicitude. She is able to get about pretty well—though she confesses to a slight failing in the legs-has a good appetite, is not above a "wee drop." and finds a, certain solace in the pipe and the fra- grant weed. The cheerful old dame married a second time a coaltrimmer, by whom she had five children. Her father died at 100. Her granddaughter has a son twenty years of age. Mrs. Sullivan's mind is stored with reminis- cences of old Cardiff. She chatters glibly of the time when "praties" and cabbages grew where the gasworks are now. and when there was nothing but dykes and ditches where Bute-street is now. Mrs. Sullivan's mind has never been illumined by education of any Bort; she has lived hard and borne much, but on the other hand, she has taken things easy. Born of healthy parents she was early accustomed to exercise, temperance, and a simple life, and pursued all those other modes of living which are conditions of longevity. To quote her own quaint words, "I was .v:> 'last harvest.' Timothy Hayes is fifteen months older than me." For the accompanying portrait we are in- debted to Mr. J. Lawrence, photographic (artist. 3, St. John's-square, Cardiff, who accom- panied our representative on his visit to the centenarian, and took a snap-shot of her.
IMPORTANT ACTION AT CHEPSTOW.
IMPORTANT ACTION AT CHEPSTOW. A case of great importance to farmers, par- ticularly in Monmouthshire, was heard by Judge Owen at Chepstow on Monday. It was an application by Mr. C. E. Lewis, of St. Pierre, for an injunction to restrain the two defendants-Mr. Talbot, his tenant, and Mr. Huggett, a hay merchant-from removing or dealing with certain clover, grown upon land which the defendant Talbot held under Mr. Lewis. In addition to the injunction, the sum of JE50 damages was claimed.—Plaintiff is owner of Newhall Fiarm, Matliern, and the defendant Talbot was lessee. One of the covenants of the lease was that he "would not sell off any of the hay or straw grown on the said farm during the last year of the tenancy." Talbot grew some clover, and at a public sale disposed of the two ricks to the defendant Huggett.—His Honour held that in Monmouthshire, in a covenant of this des- cription. hay did not include clover, and he gave judgment for the defendants, with costs.

—————— r SCHOOL ATTENDANCE AT YSTRADYFODWCr. THE BOARD AND THE HAGIS- T BATES. At Monday's meeting of the Xfltradyfodwg School Board, with the Rev. W. Morris in the chair, a report was presented that the average attendance at the schools for the month ending December 15 was only 77.8, the average for the previous month being 81.2-The Vicar of Ystrad- yfodwg said he could not understand some of the magistrates who sat on school board cases. There was no method; there was no uniformity in their fines. It appeared to him that some of them were courting popularity. It was not a pleasant task to punish parents, but it was essential for the benefit of the children.-It was resolved to send a copy of the report to the magistrate?.
ACCIDENT AT PENMARK.
ACCIDENT AT PENMARK. On Monday whilst a Penmark labourer named John Murray, was driving a team of horses through the village, the animals became restive and bolted, throwing him out of the wagon. The wheels passed over his right leg, breaking it below the knee, and also dislocat- ing the ankle. Murray was conveyed to the voluntary hospital, in Holton-road, Barry Docks, and attended by Dr. Livingstone.

IS TRINIDAD SUGAR DEMERARA?'
IS TRINIDAD SUGAR DEMERARA? At Hereford Police-court on Monday James Abercrombie. grocer. High Town. was sum- moned by Sidney Prothero. inspector under the Food and Drugs Act, for selling Demerara sugar which was not of the substance, quality, and nature demanded, inasmuch as it consisted entirely of dyed sugar crystallised. Mr. Breton (Messrs. Corner and Co.) Prosecute d.Evidence as to purchase having been given, the Inspector produced a report received from Dr. Bostock Hill, who had analysed the sugar. He wrote: -"This consists of dyed sugar crystallised, and not Demerara sugar."—Defendant produced an invoice to show that he bought the sugar from Bristol at 16s. per cwt. as Trinidad sugar, which in every sense of the word was Demerara, and was generally recognised amongst grocers as such.-The Magistrates, while fining defendant 5s. and Lt costs, said they did not think there had been any wilful intention to defraud.
