Llandudno Advertiser and List of Visitors

PROGRESS OF MR. JOHN ROBERTS. Mr John Roberts, licensee of the Stanley Hotel, Llandudno, who sustained sieriousi injuries, to his head in a carriage accident at Old Colwyn about a fortnight ago, is still an inmate of the Colwyn Bay Jubile'e Cottage Hospital. An operation was found to be necessary, ,and since this was performed the patient ha,s: made steady progress, and it is now anticipated that it will be possible to remove him to his home in the course, of a, few days. 0

A RECORD SCORE. Rhyl visited Portmadoc on Saturday to play the second round of the Wei si Amateur Fo-otball Cup. The! first twenty minutes afforded some capital football, each side showing great skill, but Port- madoc had more dash about them, and from ha.zard shots at close range three goals were scored. Hughes, the Rhyl inside left, was subsequently injured and relived. The gamer then lost its interest, the disheartened visitors playing one full back to the end. Thei final result was— Portmaidoo, ten goals; Rhyl, none.

A WEALTHY PAUPER, Before1 the Ruthin magistrates on Monday, Mr R. Humphreys Roberts, -act- ing on behalf of the. Board of .Guardians, applied for an, order to administer the estate -of Thomas Jones, of Aberwheler, who since 1901 had beie-n maintained by the Guardians, first! as) an inmate of the workhouse and then as a, pauper lunatic. His maintenance had cost the ratepayers J345 lls. 6d. Recently it was discovered that the man had 29171 in the Post-office Savings Bank, J021 in a benefit society, and £ 25 invested with the Melbourne Assets C:ompany.-The Bench granted the order.

e IMPORTANT TO FARMERS AND RABBITS. Farmers .must take out a gun licence1 if they want to shoot rabbits even on their own land, James Clarke, farmer, of Coed Talon, who; was summoned at Mold on Monday for .caryring a< gun! without a licence1 pleaded: that he. thought farmers did not require to take out licences to, kill rabbits1 on their own land. Rabbits had damaged his crops, and he thought he could kill them as vermin. The, Super- visor of Excise from Chesetr explained p that this impression, though common, was a, mistake. Nobody could .use firearms without a: licence1. The, magistrates j ordered the defendant to pay 18s., inclu- sive of costs.

HOW TO PLEASE; A YOUNG MOTHER. On the authority of Dr. Andrew Wil- son, the following is an infallible recipe for pleasing' a, young mother, when you are shewn her first, baby. If the. child is' a pretty one, with clean face and chubby cheeks, say "How like its mother." If the reverse1, with a pug- nose and a; bull-dog expression, the re- mark must, be "How like1 its father." .0

CARRIAGE ACCIDENT AT COLWYN BAY. On Monday night a, serious; carriage accident happened at, Colwyn Bay. A gentleman, was riding in the direction of Abergelei a, horse belonging t,Oi Mr Parry, of Glanrafon, Bettws, and under cover of the darkness the, animal da,s,hed.- into- a trap travelling in the opposite direction. So great was the force1 of the, collision that. a. shaft of the; carriage pierced the, horse's breast and came out under the, shoulder, and the animal was removed to a. neigh- bouring field in a, dying condition.

Yet another proof of the superiority of standard British products comes to us from the, United States. The expert Committee of the World's: Fair at St. Louis, have awarded the GRAND PRIX to the old, firm of Mellins, for the excel- lence of the well-known; splendid, article, Mellin's Food. This honour represents the highest reward conferred ,at the Ex- l'o' position j a greater distinction, in fact, titan the Gold Medal. Mellins secured the Prix over all competitors; and, also re- ceived the Gold Medal for Mellin's Food Biscuits, Mellin's Chocolate .and a Silver Medal for "Lacto." u'!I:

.ii THE CO-OPERATIVE QUARRIES NEAR BETHEiSDA. DIFFICULTIES WITH THE WORK- MEN. It appears (a, correspc ident writes) that things are not proceeding with ab- solute smoothness at the Pantdreiniog Quarry, Bethesda, which, it may be re- membered, was. started some mouths ago cn the co-operative system to accom- modate some of the men displaced, by the Penrhyn dispute. The men are dissatis- fied because, definite terms of working have not been laid down. They were apparently1 under the impression, that what is known as the Pennant-Lloyd agreement, an instrument which obtained much prominence du,ring the Penrhyn struggle, was, of general application, and they were disappointed to. find that it merely applied to a section of the; men. worked under a certain poundage. The effect of this is that while men employed on a good rock may earn substantial wages1, others, with, indifferent "hargainrs," are liable to. end the month with very small amounts to the}T' credit. It, is said, that the inequality might be rect,ified if payment were made for cle,a,ring .baa rock. Another remedy suggested is payment of day wages. The, men recognise that the Company is hampered by want of capital, and all they ask .at present is, that their grievancreSI should be considered by the Company's: Board of Conciliation.

AT A DINNER PARTY. Our Gallant Colonel: "Your daugh- ters, my dean Mrs Tympanum, are looking delightful to-night—simply delightful!" Mrs Tympaum (rather hard of hearing, and very intent -on a. rati of ducklings) "Yes, aren't they? I've had them stuffed with sage and onions."

AFTER THE ACCIDENT. A girl had a fall last week, and injured herself so severely that she was carried home insensible. Upon recovering lier first words, addressed to. her .sister were!: "Mary, did, I have on my striped, stock- iTIgs 1" + -¥.-

HUSBAND AND WIFE. I "Of course, Charles," said the wife, "I thank you for, this money, but it isn't I enough to buy a, real fur coat." "Well," replied the great brute, "you'll have to- make1 it go as fur as vouftfcau."

PROPOSED NEW FLINTSHIRE RAILWAY. At a! special meeting of .the Holywell Urban Council on Monday night a com- munication was, considered from the Buckley Council inviting the, Council to join in petitioning the Great Central Railway Company—who will on January 1st next take over the Wrexham, Mold and Dbnnah's Quay Railway—to open a branch line through Buckley to Soughton, Northop, and Holywell. It was decided to express the Council's hearty approval of the scheme and to inform, the Buckley Urban Council that they would co-operate with them im every possible way.

GOOD TIME FOR A LECTURE. A well-known, doctor of divinity and a certain Nonconformist minister are great friends, but they dearly love a, joke at each other's1 expense. The former once delivered a series of lectures, and one, of tbem-on Palestine—was n-ot interesting enough to "hold" the, audience, which gradually withdrew before its conclusion. Not long afterwards the doctor's house was entleifed by a, burglar. He. gavei a graphic account of the .affair to his friend the Nonconformist minister, and ended by saying:- "I had him flat. on his back. I held him so that he' could n-ot move an inch." "Good!" exclaimed the other; "but, my dear, sir, what a. splendid opportunity that was! to have delivered to him your lecture) on Palestine!"

SEORET OF COUGH CURING. Hundreds of thousands of lives have: been lost aunu- ally in Great Britain by coughs, colds and lung dis- eases. Cough cures abound by hundreds, but are more or less ineffective in dealing with a dangerous cough, for the reason that they are all prepared to relieve by the opiates they contain; the cough is thus smothered, not cured, and serious lung diseases are allowed to develop. This- was true until YENO'S LIGHTNING COUGH CURE was introduced. A more brilliant ex- ample of geuuine evolution never before occurred in medicine. Every day nature and science reveals new secrets VENO'S LIGHTNING COUGH CURE is one of them. Its success liel in the fact that it cures naturally by removing the causes which preduce chronic coughs, difficult breathing, bronchitis, asthma catarrh and children' coughs without the slightest in- jury. Ask for VENO'S LIGHTNING COUGH CURE Djd., ls.:lid., and 2s. 9d. at Chemists everywhere,,

HINTS FOR THE HOME. PAINT may be removed from clothing by the application, lir.jt, of sweet oil, then of turpentine. VKLVET flattened in wear should be held over stea:n, with the lining towards the rising vapour. The pile will then resume its freshness. Snuw hats may be cleaned with a nail-brush and soap. Rinse well in clear cold water. Shape carefully. Dry in the open air. Then lightly paint with the white of an egg, well beaten. DON'TS FOR WOMEN. Don't attempt repair and preservation of beauty with paints, powders, and veils. Take plenty of exercise, stand erect, sit erect. When you speak, let your voice possess volume and energy. When you think, think freshly. Don't say you haven't time for the afternoon's "forty winks." Take it, and your renewed strength will shew in a freshened complexion. A half- hour's nap after luncheon will do more to eradicate wrinkles than all the beautifiers in the world. Don't think that a life of ease and luxury is essential tb preserving youthful, delicate looks. A certain amount of work and exercise is necessary to keep the muscles firm and elastic and the flesh hard. Don't let go of love or love of romance. They are amulets against wrinkles. Not all of the world's homage is poured at the feet of girlhood. Don't fancy that the dew of youth, with its com- plexion of roses, is alone able to inspire passion. A woman's best and richest years are from thirty- six to forty. The old saw about "sweet sixteen" is exploded. AIR YOUR WARDROBES. Even tidy housekeepers, who insist upon a daily airing of their rooms, seldom extend this attention to their cupboards and wardrobes. Clothes-presses, especially those containing garments but scarcely worn, should be visited with light and air daily, if only for five minutes. Instead of inviting the nimble moth to take up its abode therein, it will really aid in the detection and expulsion of such as have already established themselves. CONFIDING IN MOTHER. A girl's first and best confidante should be her mother, and yet it is seldom that this proves to be the case. Sometimes the repression arises from a curious shyness on the girl's part, which renders it easier for her to whisper her hopes and fears to any other car than the one that has the best right to hear them more often it is the natural outcome of uriwen childish confidences, a relationship which has left mother and daughter, in all essential things, complete strangers to each other. Childish impressions are ever the most lasting. The baby girl who has rushed to tell her mother every innocent secret, secure of sympathy, and certain of its safe-keeping, will just as certainly go on doing so when secrets assume another and more com- plicated character. The child who has her childish confidences laughed at and discussed is certain to keep her grown-up thoughts and feelings to herself. HOME ECONOMIES. Don't allow pickles to become spoilt by the leaking out or the evaporation of the vinegar. Don't leave cream to spoil in the pantry, nor mustard to spoil in the cruet. Don't use silver knives for scraping kettles, nor silver spoons about the cooking. Don't throw away the water in which fat. meats have been cooked without first removing the grease. Don't throw away the bones of meat and the carcase of turkey or chicken that could be useful in making soup. Don't burn more coal than is nceessary by neglecting to arrange the dampers when the lire is not in use. WOMAN'S BEST SPHERE. I write it down in solemn sincerity befitting one who has a message for the girls she loves, says a writer, that the woman who dies without knowing for herself the dear delights of a home where she is the sun and centre; who has never held children of her very own to her heart, and grown richer with each passing year for their love who has never had the chance to set upon the coming age the stamp of her real personality—has been cheated out of the best and most enduring goods life has in its gift. These are deep truths too often unsuspected until the heyday of youth is past. It is the fashion— and a vile one it is—nowadays to sneer at the mother of half-a-dozen children, and to belittle her sphere. "Her mind is narrowed by the four walls of her nursery," say some. "She is asphyxiated by domestic cares." Give her and the children time-time for the children to grow, and for her to grow with them. Nurseries have windows out of which the wise mother and eager little ones look together. Hers is the choicest of "select classes." She is teaching and they are learning—for Eternity. TO GET A GOOD FIGURE. Young women can attain grace of figure and pre- vent a superabundance of flesh by the following exercises: Stand on tiptoe, with hands, firmly clasped, extended over the head. This will reduce the flesh below the waist, cultivate beautiful curves in the arms, help to fill cut the chest, and will increase the height if the exercise is practised with persistency. Try to stand in this position as long as possible. Another exercise which will give poise is to stand solidly on one foot, extending other foot and hand outward, and stretch the arms at the same time. When the left foot is stretched out the right arm should be extended, and vice versd. Still another exercise is to stand in a doorway, have one foot close to the woodwork, and stretch the arm up higher and higher. Be sure to stand straight; then try the other side. This exercise will serve to taper the waist lines, and will bring about a graceful carriage. NICE DISHES. FiSH PUFFS.—Make in a saucepan a white sauce of a tablespoonful each of butter and flour, to which, when creamed, add one half-cupful of milk; stir in a of cold, cooked fish seasoned with salt and pepper and very well flaked; as soon as well stirred in, remove from lire and add two well-beaten egs; drop this batter by spoonfuls into hot fat; drain pufTs Oil brown paper, and serve at once on folded nark in, garniched with watercress. ikTTEImJI CJlclBS. -Remove the meat from the crabs, cut it up small, and mix with breadcrumbs in equal quantity, a little minced parsley, and season to taste with salt and cayenne: pack into the shells, which have been well cleaned; squeeze a little lemon juice over them, cover with bread- crumbs and bits of butter, and bako in a moderate oven until nicely browned. ESCAI.LOPHD CffEESE. -Butter a porcelain baking dish, put in the bottom a layer of bread cut in very small pieces, then a layer of cheese cut up equally small, dust with salt and paprika (a mild red pepper), add another layer of bread and cheese and seasoning beat two eggs light and add to a pint cf milk, pour this over the bread and cheese; bake for half-an-hcur in a moderate oven. CANKULONS OF CIIICKEN.—Take half a pound of cold chicken, a quarter of a pound of raw bacon, three dessertspoonfuls of breadcrumbs, two tea- spoonfuls of chopped parsley, half a teaspoonful of chopped onion, salt and pepper, a dust of mace, one egg. Mince the chicken and bacon very finely, and add to it the salt, pepper, parsley, onion, and mace. Beat up the egg; add it to the other in- gredients, mixing it in well. If the mixture crumbles, add either a little more egg or some good gravy. Turn the mixture on to a board, divide it into six equal portions, and form each division into a neat little roll, using as little flour as possible, to prevent it sticking. Wrap each roll in a piece of buttered paper. Put them in a baking- tin and bake them in a slow oven for about thirty minutes. Serve with tomato or browu sauce. A SMART BOY. He was the new office boy, and hat just: re- turned from the pGost with a beaming counton- ance. "Well, yen svewded in getting those two letters in all right?" Office Boy "Yes, sir; just managed it. But you me,(I a funny mil3hh,. You put he two- ponce-halfpenny stamp on HIP London letter and the penny stamp on the foreign Manacreir: "Dear me, how stupid! What did you do?" OSioe Boy: "Oh.
