Treherbert. The monthly musical evening of the ftetjuuiy Young Christian's Union, was held at the Schoolroom on Tuesday even- ing last. A very good programme had been got up by Mr. George Edwards., and a few hours of much enjoyment was soon ^Pent. The programme was follows fcfolo, Master L. Kinsey; recitation, .Miss kiiii,c("It inwards; solo, Miss S Richards lta..tion. Miss Nellie Knight; solo, Mr «• Edwards; violin duett, Mr. B. Grif- fiths and Miss G. Duggan solo, Mr. P. wle; recitation, Mrs. J. Davies; accor- tlion trio. Mr. W. Cory and Sons. Miss Duggan presided at the organ. --+-- Blaenrhondda and Fernhill, and Blaen- fl^ynfi, to a Considerable extent, were at full strength at the Treherbert Football .Grounds on Saturday, and the crowd could not have been larger if the N.U. team was playing. A foot race of 120 Sards, had been arranged for £ 25 a sido, between Granfield Walters, Blaenrhondda Handford, Blaengwynfi, brother to .E. Handford, the Treherbert three-quar- ter. The weather was ideal and the track had been well prepared. Both men had observed the strictest training for niany weeks past, Walters training at Aenby, and Handford, at Blackpool. Bach man looked perfectly fit as he got on the CGUIVSGj but the "ordinary spectator-—not •olaenrhonddaites—would be inclined to lavour Kandford on account of his great- er length of leg and his much finer stride, getting off the mark, Aiandford had a advantage, but when nearing half way, he made a great spurt and drew a^ay from his opponent to the distance or fouir yards, which he easily retained luitil he breasted the tape. Handford's stride won him the race, and from the start Walters never looked like beating lum. We regret to record the death of Mrs. J. Thomas (61), of Dumfries Street, wife of Mr. David Thomas. Deceased was a victim of consumption, and had been confined to her bed for the last 4 months. She breathed her last on Tuesday, and T^as buried on the following Saturday at •ueorchy, Dr. H. Harris officiating. On the Monday following deceased's jsister. at Merthyr, was buried. -+-- Messrs Poole organised anotler Pictor- 1^1 Sacred Concert at the Opera House, 0u Sunday last, when the building was again well filled b" a very nleased aud- ience.

Evans, of 19, la" is Street, who passed away at the Bristol hospital on Wednesday last, where she had been a patient for 13 weeks, suiter- Ing from heart disease and dropsy, The family is well-known locally, deceased s husband having lived here for the last 42 years, and who was a prominent mem- ber of the old Treherbert Brass Band. The funeral, which took place on Satur- day, was largely attended. The inter- ment took place at Treorcliy Cemetery, the Rev. J. 0. Hughes officiating. The ■I'ief mourners were:—Mr. W. H.

Ferndale. Mr. Raiiiiali, the. general manager and agent of Messrs D. Davis and Son, Ltd., has been made a director of that Com- pany. Under1 his management the firm has iprosjpeSrjed exceedingly. With an average daily output of nearly 6,000 tons tliei collieries are among the most import- ant in the coal-field. Further exten- sions are, contemplated, and we learn that arrangements are now nearly com- pleted for sinking operations in the neigiinourhood of Port Talbot. To celebrate the formation of a branch of the Amalgamated Union of Co-opera- tive Employees in Ferndale, a social and whist drive was held at the Dyffryn Schools on Tuesday last. There was a large company present, and a most enjoy- able evening was spent. Mr. Frank Bark- way fullyT maintained his reputation as a caterer. The MXVs were Messrs P. a caterer. The M.C.'s were Messrs. P. D Lewis, Dave Thomas, and W. Cardiff Jones, while Mr. Tom Williams carried out the secretarial work. In the whist drive, Miss D. Buller Jones carried off the ladies prize, and the gentleman's prize went to Mr. Evan Lewis. Encour- aged by the success of their first venture the branch intends holding a similar function in the near future, when it is expected that members of the Union's Executive will be present to address the employees.

Maesteg. Fancy Dress Concert.—A most success- ful children's fancy dress concert was held in the Town Hall, Maesteg;, on Tuesday evening, the 16th inst. The concert was organised by Mrs. Jones, The Vicarage, who has been unwearied in her efforts on its behalf, with the object of starting a fund in connection with a bazaar to take place during the year to help in liquid- ating the debt on the Church buildings of the parish. Mrs. Jones was very for- tunate in obtaining the services of Miss Maggie James and Miss M. Vernon in working up the programme, who spared neither time nor labour in training the children during some months of patient preparation. The character of the enter. tainment may be seen from the pro- gramme, which was as follows —Part 1: Opening chorus, Polite little people are we"; action song for babies, When Babies go to School fan drill, twelve Japanese girls; automatic, dolt" Click, Click"; duet, "Where are you going, my pretty maid?

The Secretary and Treasurer (Counci- lor Walter Williams and Mr. Lewis Lewis) presented a, report of their investigation into the circumstances of the families affected by the landslide, and found that some families were in greater need than others.

HINTS FOR THE HOME. THE TREATMENT OF BURNS. An excellent application is a thick paste of bi- carbonate of eoda moistened with water, spread on a piece of linen or cotton, and bound on the part. This can be kept wet by squeezing water on it from a sponge or cloth until the smarting is eoothed. The eoda should be dusted on ecald. 11 A thick coating of starch can be used instead • £ the soda., or wheat flour, if nothing better can be, had. but neither should be applied if the skin is broken. In this case it is better to use vaseline, olive oil, or linseed oil. The doctor will apply some preparation containing carbolic acid. If the air can be effectually excluded from a burn, the pain is relieved. Blisters should be pricked, and the fluid ab- sorbed with a soft cloth before dressing. If the clothing adheres to the skin, the loose part should be cut away, and the patches of material soaked off with oil or warm water. When the injury is extensive, the sufferer will be prostrated, and may die from the shock. Heat should be applied to, the extremities and over the heart, and hot drinks given until the doctor comes. USES OF KEROSENE. Kerosene is excellent for cleaning painted and varnished floors and woodwork, bath tubs, marble waslistands, and furniture. A few drops in the water when washing windows will add a fine polish. Rags saturated with kerosene and. laid near their runs will cause ants to disappear. Kerosene is surely a household necessity. LET IN THE SUNSHINE. Not many even of the most intelligent among women make a point of letting in the needful sunlight. The average housewife drops the cur- tain on leaving a room, and shades the windows of her bedroom. "But," you will say, "this curtain dropping is not a matter of gentility alone, it is a matter of economy. We cannot afford to let the sun fade our carpets." This makes a very simple thing of it. The question becomes merely this—Shall our carpets last or we? Now, it stands to reason that carpets should not regulate this matter. Are carpets made for houses or houses for carpets? If the latter, then let us put up small but tasteful buildings, carpet them richly, shut them up carefully, and build other houses close by for dwelling-houses. We could step in occasionally to see the carpets, and could take -our friends. For our dwelling-houses we could h.e straw matting or carpets which will bear fading, or stained wooden floors, witb rugs here and there; a rug, you know, is easy to cover or to move. WHOOPING COUGH PAROXYSMS. A broad, elastic belt, worn by a. child suffering from whooping cough, will moderate the paroxysms of coughing, and will often entirely prevents vomiting. An American authority ad- vises a linen belt, in which there is a small sec- tion of silk elastic, to be made four to five inches broad for infants, and five to eight inches broad for children. A REMEDY FOR ANEMIA. Dr. Mjalman Agner calls attention to a remedy for anaemia which is exceedingly popu- lar in Sweden—i.e., nettle. He states that he himself was cured of anaemia when he was 17 by taking nettle soup. One of his patients, a girl of iwenty, had tried all remedies recommended in anaemia, including the preparations of iron, but without apparent benefit. He ordered her then nettle soup, first every eecond day; then, when she improved, twice a week. The patient was completely cured. The common or stinging nettle (urtica dioica) and the dwarf nettle (urtica urens) possess the same virtues, but the first is used almost exclusively. The best time for collection is the spring; the best parts to use are the roots and stalks with only half- developed leaves. It may be used as an infusion -a handful to two quarts of water, two or three srlasses thereof J l7" Hnrine the day, but if is much nWsanier to use in fV. ixesSu^prepa*—1 —- fresh herb TO PRESERVE BUTTER. Make a good brine. Boil two pounds of salt, six lumps of sugar, and as much saltpetre as will lie on a shilling in one gallon of water for ten minutes. When cold, wrap each pat of butter in wet muslin or cloth, and put it into the brine. The butter must always remain under the sur- face of the brine, and then it will keep good for months, and a pat can be taken out as required. THE INGROWING TOE NAIL. First, soak the affected toe in a warm solution of alum, about fifteen grains to the ounce, or else in some other weak astringent solution. Then, with a sharp knife, cut out the ingrowing portion of the nail down to the root and pull it out. Next, at the upper edge of the nail, at its medium joint, cut out a Y-shaped piece. From this point, the Family Doctor explains, scrape the nail down the centre until it becomes very thin. Next take a small piece of heavy tinfoil, or some other such material, and having covered it with aseptic cotton place it under the edge of the nail which has given the most trouble. Then place a tightly-rolled plug of cotton over the nail where it has been scraped, so as to make pressure over that area, and apply a tightly-fitting bandage. Allow this to remain from ten -to fourteen days, and if necessary, dress again in this manner. The cure is usually complete in about ten days. In following this method the edge of the nail is trained upward, and in this position it causes a minimum amount of pressure, and thus the trouble seldom recurs. HONEY AS A FOOD. Honey is one of the most healthful and nutri. tious of foods. A land flowing with milk and honey" meant a great deal to the weary travellers in the desert. Give the children all the bread and butter and honey they will eat, at least once a day, and they will never get sick and surfeited from too much sweet as they would if they ate the same amount of jam. If they have a, slight cold, cough, or any throat trouble, try strained honey with one-fourth lemon-juice, giving a teaspoon- ful every hour.

NICE DISHES. MACARONI AND CHEESE. Simmer macaroni till tender in plenty of water, then strain off the water, and cut the macaroni in small pieces, putting a layer of it in a buttered baldng-dish, sprinkle over this a little salt and pepper, and then pot, on a laver of cheese cut into small bits. Add a little butter, then another layer of macaroni with the seasoning and cheese, so con- tinuing until the dish is almost full; then pour over the whole a half-cupful of sweet milk. Over tlie top strew grated cheese and breadcrumbs mixed'together, and bake in a quick oven for half an hour. CHEESE EGGS. Butter as many deep patty- pans as you have eggs to cook. Break an egg into each pan, taking care not to break the yolk. and sprinkle on the top of each a dessert- spoonful of grated cheese, the some of fine breadcrumbs, a dash of pepper, a pinch of salt, and place a tiny piece of butter in the centre. Set the pans in frying-pan with a little hot water in it, cover, and simmer very gently for five "minutes. Have ready some squares of but- tered toast on a very hot dish slide the eggs each on to its piece of toast, garnish with water- cress, and serve at once. STEWED KID;EY. Slice tho kidney very thin and fry brown in a little Lt. with salt and pepper; add an onion minced fine. When the kidneys are fried on both sides, add two cupfuls of water, a tablespoonful of flour, a pinch of salt, and nutmeg. STUFFED LEG OF MTJTTOX. — Choose a small Jee, beat it well, and remove the hone, being careful not to disfigure the joint, Prepare a mixture with some breadcrumbs, chopped herbs, and onions, the latter previously parboiled in a. little stock this mmt not be too moist, Put the mixture in the place of the bone, tie the joint round to a presentable shape, and bake in the oven till tender. NOTTINGHAM PUDDING. — Six ounces of flour, three eggs, one pint of new milk, six fine, sour aVples. salt to taste. Pare tho apples ar.d re- n'ove the core without, splitting the apple open; ihp space with sugar, and place the apples in a' -udding di-h.
