FLINTSHIRE POLICE COMMITTEE THE EXCESSIVE NUMBER OF PUBLIC-HOUSES. A meeting of the Flintshire Police Committee was held yesterday at Mold, Mr R LI Jones, of Rhyl, presiding. The quarterly return of the Chief' Constable (Major Webber) showed that 19 persons had been proceeded against for indictable offences. Of the latter 240 were convicted. There bad been 108 convictions for drunkenness, as com- pared with 72 in the previous quarter and 99 in the corresponding quarter last year. Four tenders had been sent in for the supply of police clothing, and that of Messrs Dolac and Co. was accepted. Mr J P Jones (Holywell) moved that the police be asked to furnish the justices at the Licensing Sessions with a report, giving particulars as to the character of each licensed house, similar to the return that was made by the :police in Liverpool. The justices ought to know the character of the business carried on in every public-house. A public-house might rely mainly for its trade upon the wives of working men, and the justices ought to have such informati on. Mr Reney (C)nnah's Quay) seconded, and the motion was carried unanimously. Mr Prince (Connah's Quay) moved that a letter be sent that by Committee to the Licensing Committee of the county calling attention to the increase in drunkenness and to the belief which was felt that the number of licensed houses in some urban districts was largely in excess of what it ought to be. Further, the Police Committee was of opinion that some steps should be taken to reduce the number of licenses, and they respectfully submitted that expression of opinion to the Licensing Com- mittee for the consideration of the Bench at the next licensing meeting, Mr Reney seconded. Mr P P Pennant, chairmaD of the Quarter Ses- sions, agreed that there were many public-houses which might with advantage be abolished alto- gether. He did not, however, altogether approve of the terms of Mr Prince's resolution. He thought that the motion should be framed in a mote definite manner. He moved dS an amendment, merely altering the latter part of Mr Prince's resolution, so as to read that the Committee was of opinion that a considerable reduction in the number of licensed houses in the county would be to the public benefit. Mr H J Roberts seconded. Mr Prince declined to withdraw his motion, and on bcing put to the vote the amendment by Mr Pennant was carried by eleven votes to two. Mr Lindop asked what was being done with regard to the resolution passed at the last meeting on the subject of the use of obscene language in the streets. So far as he could gather, the b con- victions, as a rule, were for being drunk and using obscene language, but he would point, out that it was not always those who were drunk who used bad laneuage. The Chief Constable explained that there had been convictions for the use of obscene language alone. There was a case at Mold the previous Monday. »Mr Watkinson There have been cases at Hawarden of simply using bad language. Mr H J Roberts said the use of bad language in Mold on Saturday nights was awful. 0 It was understood that attention would be given to this matter.

THINGS NOT GENERALLY KNOWN. WHEN WAS WAR CARRIED ON WITH THB LEAST POSSIBLE DANGER TO THE SOLDIER. At the end of the fifteent,h and the beginning of the sixteenth centuries. By the end of the fifteenth century, plate armour had attained such perfect development, that it was scarcely possible for knights engaged in combat to hnd any spot where the armour of their antago- nists could be pierced. Combatants equipped in this manner aimed accordingly less at wound- ing than at unhorsing one another. lie who was unhorsed was at the mercy of his antagonist, who, if he could not find any weak point where lie could pierce the armour of his fallen foe, might beat him to death with his mace. Many savage encounters of this nature are recorded by the chroniclers of the time. Usually, however, a knight when unhorsed became the prisoner of his conqiieior, and many battles were decided, especially in the wars between the Slates of Italy, carried on by means of mercenaries, almost or altogether without the shedding of blood on either side. Hence we read of few bloody battle-fields in those days, whereas in ancient times, as in modern Avars, the dead have been numbered by tens of thousands. IT NEVER DIES OUT. The custom of adoption is universal in Japan, where it is to keep a laniily name from becoming extinct. Indeed, Illere is scarcely a family in which it has not at some time been resorted to. A person who has no male adopts a soii, aiid, if lie lias a daughter, often gives her to him in marriage. A youth, or even a child, who may be the head of a family olleiv adopts, on the point of dying, a son sometimes older than himself to succeed Ilin). WHICH CITY HAS MOST OFTEN BEKN RAZED TO THE GROUND AND RIC-lJUll.'f. This would appear to be Herat, in Algban- iafcan, which has certainly been razed and re-built eight times, and, according to an old Persian historian, has been no iess than fifty times taken, fifty times destroyed, and ntty times triumphantly re-built. Its position anu importance as the key to India account lo> t repeated struggles to secure it. Constantinople has suffered twenty-six sieges, in eight of which it surrendered. Jerusalem has been destroyed and re-built seven times. It has suffered thirteen sieges, Avhile Rome has endured fifteen and Faris eleven. IVHICH FLOWER CAN BOAST OF THE LONGEST AND QUAINTEST LIST OF RURAL NAMES. Most of our way-side and cottage ilowershave pet names, if we may so style them Hie snowdrop is Fair Maid of February and niter Gilliflower; the cowslip, Herb Peter, i-roill its resemblance to St. Peter's badge-a uUllch of keys. The convolvulus is Jenny run the Hedge; the aconite, Noah's Ark, Jacob's Chariot, Parson in the Pulpit, and Captain over the Garden, A charming French name for the harebell is of the Fields, the dandelion is the Shepherd s Clock. But it is the pansy that carries off the calm, proving the truth of the German saying: I' A favourite child has many names. The pansy is Love in Idleness, Horse ITi olet,, Birds Eves, Love True, Call Me to You, Got lathers and Godmothers, Monkeys lace, 1 ink o my Jtfin, Stepmother, Tickle my J,iree Faces in a Hood, Wild Love and Idle, Hearts- ease, Jack Behind the Garden Gate, and last y, Meet me i' the Entry, and Kiss me i' the Buttery.

As many of the frequenters of the house had expected, on the very first night J- was there. lie seized the first opportunity to. make himself heard. "Ah, friends," he said, addressing the com- Pbouy in general," the way of the, world is pbculiar. Call a man a puppy and he will knock you down. Call him a gay dog, and he will grasp you by the hand.

WLT Oli DRY. In the course of a trial upon some forest rights, a witness named lilin was examined. Being a, hale, hearty old man, the judge asked lii'n what, had been his manner of life. "I have always, he answered, been a very •early riser, and been very temperate." Turning to i.he jury, his lordship said Soe, gent lemen, what you may reasonably expect vrom early rising and temperance." The next witness was a brother of the first, and, though older, being upwards of eighty years of age, lie was a more healthy-looking ,e, man. Addressing him, the judge said "1 suppose, from your appearance,that,like your brother, you have been very temperate?" "Alas, my lord, the witness replied, "I have never gone to bed sober these thirty- years." Ali, the judge, "you see an elm will flourish wet or dry."

FINDING A READY SALE. Agent (to chwinist): "I have a preparation !iel'è sir, which you will be glad to have on hand. I am selling large quantities of it to the trade." Chemist: "What is it for?" Agent: "Touching up postage-stamps. A very little of it applied to the back of a postage- stamp creates a feeling of nausea the moment it comes ill contact with the tongue, and your customer at once calls for a dose of medicine to allay this stomachic irritation. It makes postage-stamps a very profitable line of goods to handle." Chemist: Put me down for a dozen boxes, and I'll try it."

I think so, miss," answered the man, taking down a piece of goods and spreading it on the counter. "Buff Do you call that buff?" exclaimed the woman. "Why, you don't know your business, young man. That's too dark for a buff." But, miss, that is 1 t's too dark I can see it, stupid "Why, of course, it's dark, my dear young lady!" persisted the man. "It's blind man's buff; the new shade you see."

HIS AWFUL CHEEK DID IT. ^'It$wa.s in the cabinet-makers shop, and a T&rt^of strangers were looking at the different labour-saving devices. One gentleman, very short-sighted, had tarried at, the bench across the room. He was examining a circular saw that was whirling its teeth with lightning-like rapidity. «- />- Absorbedly interested in thepieceol mechan- ism, his face drew nearer and nearer to the cruel teeth tearing round and round with remorseless At t his instant his friends turn about. They see his danger. Inevitably the gap grows smaller and smaller. Spell- hound, they are unable to utter a sound. They cannot, endure to see their friend torn and lacerated. Instinctively they shut their eyes. Then comes the awful jar of the collision. There is a whirling sound and a crash! A shudder runs through them all. The next in.ant they hear the voice of the cabinet- maker Of course you will pay for that saw, sir ?
