FOR WOMEN FOLK. Homely Hints & Dainty Dishes. WITH PARS. INTERESTING TO THE MERE MAN. It is extremely injurious for children to remain for houvH paddimg in the sea, with strong anoshine on 1 he h-ud and body while the fee: are in cold water. ISo harm is done if the shoes and stockings are removed, so that the little ones may ron the &and barefooted, with an occasional *pla<ah in the water. Symptoms of false cronp resemble those of true cronp at first, bnt afterwards are much less dangerous. In either case it is safe to give twenty drops of ipecacuanha wine every twen'.y m'nutes until the child is relieved. Great care should be exercised in the clothing of a child who i* subject to eczema Smooth stuffs should be mod, such as the finest masino or linen. Flannel cannot be wcrn by children p'ediepos<-d to this tiresome complaint, as its surface is very irritating. The curious custom of marriage by proxy still exists in Holland. A Dutch gentleman residing in Batavia was recently united by proxy to a young lady residing with her parents at Amsterdam, and, incongruous as it eeems to our ideas (says "Chic"), the bride- groom's sister represented him and took the young lady in his name "for better or worse." It seems that the young man was tired of waiting for his love any longer, but found that she would not be married unless her mother was present. Her parents would not go to Batavia. and he could not go home. A compromise was, happily, possible, as they were both Dutch subjects, by the lady being married with her relations around her, and she has now sailed for Java. For Burns or Scalds It often happens in the case of a burn or scald that there is no remedy at hand to apply at once. It is a very excellent plan, especially where there are children in the house, to have something ready and put where it can be found at once; much suffering will then be prevented. A very simple and harm- less preparation can be made by mixing in a bottle equal quantities of linseed oil and lime water, well shaken together. The bottle should be well corked and kept in a box with some medicated cotton-wool or soft linen rag, which should be wrapped in paper to keep quite clean. When used, the bottle shou14 be well shaken and some of the contents poured into a shallow saucer or plate; the wool or! rag. well saturated with it. should be laid lightly on the burn or scald and bound on with a handkerchief or piece of rag, and not be uncovered for some time unless very pain- ful. when the rag or wool can have more of the oil and lime water put on it without removing it from the wound. THE FAMILY DINNER, [Suggested by the "Family Herald."] Capon en chaudfroid. Potatoes. Bed salad. Greengage fool. Capon en Ohciudfroid.—Ingredients—One capon, two pounds of sausages, half a-sheep's tongue, two hard-boiled eggs, a quarter of a pound of ham. one pint of white sauce, two sheets of gelatine, seasoning. Cucumber, cluli, Ac., fo:decoration and salad. Method- Bone the capon as follows. Cut off the wings at the first joint and draw off the legs at the knee. Make an incision in the skin at the back of the neck and cut the neck off close to the body. Turn back the skin, sever the wing from the shoulder. and remove the bone from the wing. Take out the merry- thought with a sharp knife. Then with the fiinger loosen the flesh from the bone down the breast. Turn the capon over, and with a sharp knife sever the tendons and skin all the way down the back to the tail. On reaching the legs these must be wrenched from '.he body. When the frame- work is removed scrape the leg bones free from flesh and remove the bones. All the bones having been removed, draw the chicken into its natural shape, and season the inside well with pepper and salt. Remove the skin from the sausages and chop them up with the ham and hard-boiled eggs. Stuff the chicken with this mixture, placing the tongue in the centre. With the hand mould the fowl into its original shape, fold down the akin at the neck, and sew it up with a trussing needle and thread. Wrap it in a pudding cloth and boil it for two hours and a half. When it is cold coat it over with a thick white sauce in which the gelatine has been dissolved. Decorate it with strips of chili. cucumber rind, or any other preferred decoration. The appearance of the capon will be improved by pouring a. few table- spoonfuls of aspic jelly over it to glase it and to set the decorations. Serve it on a silver or glass dish on a. bed of salad and decorated with cucumber, beetroot, etc. Cost of capon—about three shillings a.nd sixpence; sausagee, etc.—two shillings and sixpence. Red Salad.—Ingredients—Half a small red cabbage, half a pint of vinegar, one dessert- spoonful of salad oil, salt and cayenne. Method—Remove the outer leaves and stalks, shred the cabbage leaves finely and into short lengths. Put into a basin and scatter a tear spoonful of salt over and a good pinch of cayenne pepper. Sprinkle the salad oil over, then pour the vinegar in. Leave it all to soak for twenty-four hours. Serve in a salad- bowl or glass dish. It will keep for several days. Cost sixpence. Greengage Fool.—Ingredients—One pound and a half of greengages, half a pound of sugar, one gill of water, half a pint of cus- tard to each pint of fruit pulp. Method—Look over the greengages, remove any stems there may be amongst them, and throw away any decaying fruit. Put the greengages into a pan with the sugar and water, and let them stew gently. If the fruit dries up at all, add more water. Wnen they are thoroughly cooked and soft rub them through a. wire sieve. Make the custard, and to qaoh pint of fruit pulp add half a pint of cuetard. Mix it well together and ascertain that it is sweet enough. Serve the fool cold in a glass dish. Cost about one shilling.

Beryl: Is the new pastor very liberal in his religious views? Sibyl: I should say so. He belteret that even 'original sin' has been plagiarised.

"RIP" ON CRICKET.1
"RIP" ON CRICKET.1 The Last Sketches of the Season. PLAYERS OF ENGLAND AT THE OVAL. The exponents of the summer game now give way to the footballers; the most success- ful of all the dozen teams that Australia has sent us returns to the "Land of the Golden Fleece" via South Africa, where they haTe a full month's programme; and I, therefore, send in my last instalment of cricketing sketches, for this season. at any rate. They are mostly of a valedictory kind. I really should not feel that I had done my duty to the game if I did not portray our old and tried friends, Messrs. "Hurly-Burly" Hirst and "Dusty" Rhodes. They both retire into winter quarters in the full conviction that they have both done their share towards making the county championship remain in Yorkshire's hands once more. They have a right to. too. 1- "GOOD OWD YARKSHEER!" In the course of the next few days we shall bid a long farewell to the Australians. It is said on the best authority that at least five of them will retire from cricket as soon as they TKTTMBLE AND GREGORY'S FOND FAREWELL. I reach their homes. These five are Trumble, Darling, Gregory, Kelly, and Howell. Ernest Jones, their one-time unsurpassable fast bowler, has also paid his last visit to these shores as a member of a representative team. There are lots of fine cricketers, they say, "down under" to fill the vacant places when it becomes necessary. I shall be very much Good-bye, Darling, if you must leave us, Though the parting gives us pain. We should certainly have liked to "whack" you Again, again, and again; Still, as that pleasure was denied ns, Good-bye, Joe Darling." I surprised, though, if anything approaching the talent of Trumble, or Gregory, or Jones (at his best) is unearthed. By the way, did you ever hear the "Lime- rick" that was composed in honour of Jones during the 1899 tour, when he "carved up" one of our county teams in a style that made them wish he did not bowl quite so fast. He hit the batsmen on that nice, tender spot inside the knee, rattled their knuckles about, and generally made it so interesting for them while they were at the wickets (they did not CRICItETER-CUM-FOOTBALLER. I stop longer there than they could help) that most, if not all, were limping or with their hands bandaged, and the smell of the arnica went all around the ground. This is the ode that went to celebrate the knuckle-dusting and leg-bruiaing: — There once was a bowler called Jones, Who smaehed all the batsmen's bones, Of one thing it's sure The result of the tour Was bushels of groans and moans." The last flicker of the cricket candle at the Oval has seen the Players of England arise in their might. The Nottingham Forest full- back discarded his red football shirt to bring I AT HIS OLD OPPONENTS. the side as nearly as possible up to full strength, and well he acquitted himself.

M. PELLETAN AND ITALY,
M. PELLETAN AND ITALY, Bizerta,. Wednesday.—M. Pelletan (French Minister of Marine) made another speech at a ba.nquet given by the Republican Club here last night. He said that he was not very fond of talking politics, because words that he did not utter were attributed to him. "For instance," he said, "in Corsica I spoke of Italy, and. behold! I, one of tke last Italophiles in France, I who declared at the time when rela- tions between the two countries were strained, that the great part of the responsibility for this strain lay upon us-I, in short, who always approved of the intervention of France in the Italian war of independence, I have had an aggressive attitude towards that country ascribed to me, "-Reuter. Paris, Wednesday.-The Government news- papers publish no comments on M. Pelletan's speech at Bizerta the day before yesterday. The "Petite Republique" alone remarks that the speech was inopportune, but that the speaker was very far from having aggressive intentions. Some of the Opposition papers, such as the "Gaulois," "Figaro," and "Libre Parole" blame M. Pelletan for his language and his blustering attitude, which, they say, means nothing at a time when peace seems likely to be undisturbed. The "Intran- sigeant" claims to be in a position to state that. in consequence of representations made by the Italian Ambassador to M. Declasse, a very sharply-worded telegram has been sent by M. Oombes, the Premier, to M. Pelle- tan on the subject of the latter's speech at Ajaccio.—Renter.
PARSON AND PRINCE,
PARSON AND PRINCE, Some people have a clever but unenviable knack of dealing out insults disguised as com- pliments, of bestowing blame which shall seem as praise until a careful examination reveals its real meaning. When Frederick, Prince of Wales, father of George III., died,, a fashion- able minister preached a aermon on that event in Mayfair Chapel, London, in the course of which he remarked: "The Prince had no great parts, but he had great virtues; indeed, they degenerated into vices; he was very generous, but I hear his generosity has ruined a great many people; and, then, his condescension was such that he kept very bad company." In similar style it is constantly said of some alleged remedial agents that they are well known. True; but for what are they well known? For their remedial power? Not always. "I spent pounds in trying to find a cure, and I should have gone on spending had not a friend from Shrewsbury urged me to try Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup," writes Mr. Thomas Northcott, of Dreason, near Lost- wjthigj, on June 20, 1902, "For years I have been subject to sudden and excruciating pains in the stomach. I was in constant d,read, never knowing when I should be seized. Had it been an ordinary pain lasting, say. for half an hour or two, that would have been bad enough; but I was incapacitated for a fortnight or three weeks at a time. being unable to eat, sleep, or remain long in one position. I was thankful for even one moment's respite. Every remedy that could be thought of was resorted to without avail, and I also took the advice of four medical men -two of them Plymouth physicians—but they could never get at the root of the ill. One doctor, certainly, gave me a pill that deadened the pain for a while, but it did no more. I was almost despairing of a cure when my Shrewsbury friend brought me half a bottle of Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup, which she insisted on my accepting. The benefit I derived from that small quantity was wonder- ful. Nothing which the doctors had given to me. nor any of the patent medicines I had tried, acted upon me as that did. I was soon relieved, and from that day to this I have never risked being without a supply of it on hand. If its price were £5 I would pay it rather than be without a bottle of it in the house. I have recommended it wherever I have had an opportunity to do so, and always with good results." e9817

FIGHTING IN PORTUGUESE WEST AFRICA. Lisbon, Wednesday.-In an official dispatch. dated Mutarava, September 14. the Governor of the Zambesi says he arrived at Mingari on the 13th inst.. and regards the war as over. The Governor will go with a column by land to Zanque and Carigombo, where it is sus- pected the chief Macombe is in hiding. A telegram from the Governor of Angola relat- ing to the Bailundu expedition states that the column when north of Benguella was attacked by natives on the 6tli inst. on the River Gango, but the latter were ultimately driven off a second time. While the convoy was crossing the river it was vigorously attacked at Massambomye Ford, but the natives, having suffered heavy losses, retired towards Quibonda.—Renter.

WHERE WOMEN -OUTNUMBER MEN
WHERE WOMEN -OUTNUMBER MEN In Mumbles, near Swansea, there are six hundred more females than males out of a total population of four thousand. In hun- dreda of towns and villages throughout Eng- land and Wales women, by reason of their weaker frame, are more numerous amongst the sufferers than are men. It is because of this, and because so many women have found Chas. Forde's Bile Beans a veritable boon, that the latter preparation has been so widely adopted as a woman's remedy. There are few women who at times do not suffer from antemia and debility, and the following case wilt show how effective Bile Beans are in these cases. Miss May Musson, of Breach-road, Marlpool, speaking to a "Derbyshire Adver- tiser" reporter, said:—"A short time back anaemia, indigestion, and debility had so reduced me that I could not take a morsel of solid food. I lost all my strength. Then I commenced taking Bile Beans, and soon felt better. I persevered, and am now quite cured." Chas. Forde's Bile Beans for Biliousness are a certain cure for indigestion, biliousness, "summer end fag," liver and kidney disorder, sleeplessness, head- ache, constipation, drowsiness, anaemia, and all female ailments.

A WOMAN'S LIFE OF CRIME.¡
A WOMAN'S LIFE OF CRIME. At the Guildhall, London, yesterday, Hannah McCarthy was charged with steal- ing a roll of silk value £7 138. 6d., from Messrs. Rylands, Son. and Co., of Wood-street. The accused, who wore a long cape, entered the prosecutors' ware- house, and was seen to take the roll of silk and place it under her cape. She was at once given into custody, and pleaded guilty. It was reported that she had been many times previously convicted. Her convictions dated from 1862, when she started with three months' hard labour. Since then she had, served sen- tences of two. seven, eight, and five years' penal servitude, and there were ten summary co-evictions against her. She was yesterday sent for trial at the Central Criminal-court.
DARING CONVICT. i j
DARING CONVICT. His Escape from an Irish Gaol. THE PRISONER STILL AT LARGE. A correspondent says that the marvellous ingenuity displayed by James Lynchehaun. the Achill convict who escaped from Mary- borough Gaol on the 6th of September, has occasioned no surprise to those who know the man. Lynchehaun is fearless-and more than ordinarily intelligent. He also has luck, after his kind. His escape from his police escort a fortnight after his murderous assault upon Mrs. Agnes M'Donell, the wife of a London bar- rister, was facilitated by the fact that the two police-constables accompanying him carried rifles and revolvers, but no ammunition.. The Castlebar Gaol records show that Lynchehaun gained 111b. in weight between the day of his escape on the 20th of October, 1894, and his re-capture on the 5th of January, 1395. On that occasion, as now, a reward of JE100 was offered for information that would lead to his re-capture. To this day Achill men smile shrewdly when talking of that re-capture of January, 1695. A relative of Lynchehaun's at Dagort, Achill, when questioned on the re-cap- ture, remarked: "Arrah, sir, sure maybe he wanted to be ketched. The peelers kep such a watch on corraun that a snipe could not escape. And .who had a betther right to a reward, when such was goin', than Jimmy's own flesh and blood?" Now after a fortnight there is not the slightest clue to the whereabouts of Lynche- haun. The police have ceased the wholesale sweeping operations and are now confining themselves to plain clothes cycling patrols. The police photograph circulated shows Lynchehaun with a short beard, but it appears that before leaving the gaol he got a clean shave. While in prison he periodically sent petitions to the Lord Lieutenant, praying to have his sentence commuted. He had pre- pared one of those petitions on the day before his disappearance, and he left a, note behind saying that, as all his previous petitions seemed to have miscarried, he was going to deliver this one himself.
THE SPANISH THRONE.
THE SPANISH THRONE. Duke of the Abruzzi may be a Claimant. Rumours are rife in political circles at Barcelona that a movement is on foot to induce the Duke of the Abruzzi to allow him- self to be put forward by a new party as cla,imant for the Spanish throne. He is said to be the one candidate in whose interests all the various parties can unite for the good of Spain, and at the theatre the other evening the Italian and Spanish flags were displayed together amid great enthusiasm.
MONUMENTS IN NEWPORT CEMETERY.
MONUMENTS IN NEWPORT CEMETERY. Some short time ago we alluded to the cir- cumstance that the eoguxuttee having charge of the Newport cemeteries had declined to sanction the erection of a monument to a faithful dog. The applicant for the privilege now explains in rather a different light what it was he wanted. He had three boys buried at the Newport Cemetery, and, as his retriever dog had saved the life of the eldest by bring- ing him out of the River Usk, he applied, through the sculptor, who is placing up the memorial-stone, for permission to have an illustration of a dog reclining on the top of the monument, and an inscription in these terms cut immediately above the names of the children: — Nero, guarding his masters Even in death." This the committee declined to allow. The tombstone was not intended to be a burial tablet to mark the grave of the dog, which the owner says is still alive. Against the action of the committee the applicant argues that to carve the image of a dog upon a monu- ment was not a greater desecration (if one at all) than to have upon the tombs illustration* of ships, guns, swords, bayonets, flags, &c.

GOLF.
GOLF. Politicians at Play. On the North Berwick Links, yesterday, the Premier (Mr. A. J. Balfour). who has played golf nearly every day—except Sundays, of course—since taking up his residence at Whit- tingliame, engaged in an interesting match. Mr. Balfour was partnered by Arnauld Massey, the Frenchman, and they played Sir Henry Meysey-Thompson, M.P. for the Handsworth Division, and Alex. Herd, the open champion. The play was very even at the outset, and at the fifth hole the opponents were all square. Not more than a hole subsequently separated the couples outward, and at the turn the match was still level. After halving the Bents, Sir Henry Meysey-Thompson and the champion ran off with the next two holes in 3 and 4 respectively, but the Premier and Massey won the Pit. The Redan fell to the champion an3 Sir Henry, who ultimately won by two holes.

CURIOUS ADVENTURE OF A DOMESTIC.
CURIOUS ADVENTURE OF A DOMESTIC. At Rugby Police-court a domestic servant, named Violet Quinn, who had been in service near Rugby, was charged with travelling on the London and North Western Railway with- out a ticket and with intent to defraud. The girl had left her situation, and, having nowhere to go. went late at night to a restaurant, and stated she was travelling from Perth to Euston, and on reaching Rugby alighted to obtain some refreshments, leaving a box containing her ticket and other articles in the train, which left without her. The restaurant keeper thereupon took her in, and was very kind to her, and next morning he went with her to the station. Then, accord- ing to her subsequent statement, she did not like to withdraw her story, and, having repeated it, the officials allowed her to proceed, but telephoned to Euston. Her story was subse- quently found to be a concoction of lies. She was bound over to come up for judgment when called upon.

STRANGE STORY.
STRANGE STORY. Boy Kidnapped by Gipsies. EFFECTS HIS ESCAPE HALF CLAD. The Norwich police are inquiring into a strange story of alleged kidnapping by gipsies told by a fourteen-year-old boy named Gall- pen, the son of a well-known printer living in the city. The lad set out early to go fishing for minnows ata Colney. near Norwich. He fished for awhile, and then set out for home, and on the way met a gipsy van, in front of which was walking a man, who called to him. Being frightened, he started off running, and was pursued by the man. who captured him and placed him in the van. He was then ordered to take off his coat and light a fire, and afterwards he was compelled to remove his collar, vest. and shoes. Soon after this the van was stopped on a common, and young Gallpen was turned out of the van and placed in the care of a bigger boy. Gallpen made a bolt, and was seized by the other lad. A struggle ensued, but Gallpen effected his escape, wearing but a pair of trousers and half a shirt. He shortly after fell in with a market gardener, who took him home.

AN OMNIBUS "TRUST."
AN OMNIBUS "TRUST." [BY A CONDUCTOR.] Mr. Albert Nurton. formerly a London General Omnibus conductor, tells the "Weekly Dispatch" that the employes of the different companies and the officials of their union are keenly watching for the probable effect upon drivers and conductors of ine inevitable "com- bine which will sooner or later take place between the London General" -and the "Road Car" companies. Mr. Nurton is a representa- tive man, and his reminiscences are of interest. Few omnibns passengers," said be. know the hours worked by drivers and conductors, and the terrible strain they have to bear. Exposure to all Weathers needs a. man as strong as a horse. I would not be eqtiAl to it myself if I were not fortified with what I reoommend to all outdoor workers—Dr. Williams' pink pills for pale people. London fogs and wet caught hold of me, and I was laid up with pneumonia. 1 was working fifteen hours a day, with an hour for meals. I sud- denly felt a terrible pain in my side, and all night was in terrible agony. My doctor, who found I had pleurisy, wouldn't hear of my leaving bed. At the end of a month he let me get out of bed, but as I walked to the chair on the hearthrug I felt a pain, and before I could move a step I felt something snap, as it were, inside me. When the doctor came he said I had inflammation of the bladder. I suffered agonies, day and night. I went to the Middle- sex Hospital at the beginning of February, and afterwards to the University College Hos- pital, where' after being examined under ether I was told my case was chronic, and I should be a confirmed invalid. I gradually bent over until I looked like an old man. Besides the other pains I was never free from headache, and the very sight of food made me sick. I read in the newspapers of a lady who had been cured in a very miraculous manner by Dr. Williams' pink pills. I tried them. Only four days after I commenced taking Dr. Williams' pink pills I got out of bed by myself, stood up, and put my clothes on. I felt so well that 1 went for a walk, and asked for breakfast. I am prepared to swear this before any judge in the world. Before I got to the end of the first box of Dr. Williams' pink pills for pale people I was a different man. I persevered, ana everybody came in to see with their own eyes what a wonderfal cure had been brought about. .Paralysis, anaemia, St. Vitus' dance, con- sumption, and rheumatism have been cured in the same way. This is one of the instances in which cases incurable by ordinary medicine have been unquestionably cured by the remedy named. which can be obtained wherever medicine is sold. while Dr. Williams' medicine company, Holborn-viaduct, London, will send a box for two fhillings and ninepence, post free. Mr. Nurton and his wife now have a little laundry business at 198, Kensington Park-road, London.. L15.533.

SPORT OF THE DAY.
SPORT OF THE DAY. a C. Escott. the young Lewes jockey, is so much recovered from his recent accident as to be able to ride at exercise. Mr. Hugh Owen, who started at Warwick, had a white-flag man in front of the machine I and another behind, the idea being much appreciated by those who time races. The most cosmopolitan and curious race meeting in existence is that held annually in Mauritius, whefe nearly every nationality under the sun has its representatives in a very motley crowd. H. Randall will probably go to India in 2 December to ride Petridge in the Viceroy's Cup, the horse having been purchased by Mr. Harold Brassey from Sir J. B. Maple expressly for that purpose. Mr. J. Musker has, it is said, taken the Bed- ford Lodge training establishment for a term, and it is also rumoured at Newmarket that he contemplates building a racing establish- ment somewhere near Warren Tower. Of the nine races at Warwick in which apprentices were entitled to take the 51b. allowance eight were won by "five-pound boys." It makes a wonderful difference with such artists as Dixon, Watts, Grigg, and Miller in the saddle. While taking part in a stripped trial gallop with Bellarmina and Belle Promesee. at Baumber, on Monday morning, Mr. J. Wood's chestnut mare Floreal (5 years), by Tarporley -Flore, split a pastern, and will be of no further use for racing purposes. It is the present intention of Mr. James Bodhanan to ran Black Sand for the Prix du Conseil Municipal, and as this race takes place on the Sunday before the Cesarewitch his backers for the latter race are accepting some risk, as in the event of success he would incur a. 101b. penalty. An amusing anecdote is told (says the World ") in connection with Mr. Siever and his racehorses. Mr. Sievier, who has recently been acting as his own trainer, went to New- market a short time ago, and was seen watching some of the Newmarket trainers putting their horses through their work. One of them spoke to Mr. Sievier, and asked him, in rather sarcastic terms, whether he had come to "pick up wrinkle or two." "Yes," replied Mr. Sievier, meekly. "I am carefully studying what you do, and I intend when I get home to do just the exact opposite."
A NEW TROTTING UNION
A NEW TROTTING UNION A meeting was held at the Horseshoe Hotel, Wigan, last night, for the purpose of forming a new union in the interests of trotting and galloping. Mr. J. O'Donohne presided. It was resolved to form a new body, under the designation of the Trotting and Flat-racing Union, and to hold a further meeting at Wigan on October 13. to elect a. governing body and draft rules.
