THE VALUE OF TIME. "Time is money" is but a variation of the saying that wasted moments can never be recovered and turned to account. If you spare ten minutes a ,day for reading some informing litera.ture, you add over two days to your year that would have been value- less otherwise. Why not devote the equivalent of ten minutes a day of your business day towards finding new ideas for increasing your profits. To put it more forcibly. Set aside ten minutes for a chat with our advertisement manager. You will probably be sur- prised at the suggestions he can make to you. ,foi,r.I!W.«.

REVIEWS. "THE! WHITE PROPHET." What, magnificent reading! That must be the exclamation of every reader of Hall Oaane's new serial which commences in the Christmas "Strand.' It, is not often that the beginning of a story arouses en- I thusiasm and creates eager expectancy, but "The Whiite Prophet" plunges the reader at, once into passionate interest, and makes him feel that he is on the threshold of a, story in which momentous things are goiing to happen, a stotry in which the fortunes of, not inr dividuælls, only, but of religions also, will grip him in the intensity of the conflict between them. The author's explanatory note states that, "The Arabs have a tradi- tion that in 'the time of the end' a Her- deemer will come to unite the faiths of the world into one faith, and the people of the world dnto one people. This Redeemer n ■is sometimes known as the Mahdi, some- times as Mohammed, sometimes as Jesus, but generally as the White Prophet of Peace, meaning the Clhris,t." The story opens with an account of a thrilling repre- sent-ation of the fateful Battle of Omdur- man, a mimiic contest in which tragic realpty was only just avoided. It serves to introduce the reader to some of the principal characters in the story, and to make him hear the rumblings and mutter- ings of the great things that are to follow. Exceptionally brilliant is the summary of Lord Nuneham',s, past, and masterly the swift graphic touches on the landmarks of his career. The author brings his keen insight to bear on the relations between East and West in Egypt, and piercing straight to the heart of it, reveals the seeth- ing conflict there, the eruption 'of which will he the main feature of the story. "The White Prophet," however, is not, to be without, a love story, and the reader's speculations upon what will occur between a dashing, but high-thinking English offi- cer, and a patriotic, passionate daughter of a general, would be sufficient alone to keep him gripped to the story. THE DOUBLE CHRISTMAS NUMBElR OF "PEARSON'S. MAGAZINE." With many pages printed in colours, with a host of seasonable features, and a particularly bright selection of stories, the December "Pearson's Miagazsine" stands out as one of the best of the Christmas numbers of 1908. The Art pages—always a popular fea- ture—gain in charm from the fact that its pictures are reproduced in facsimile; as also are some dainty specimens of the well- known child pictures of Amelia, Bauerle. Many beautiful photographs illustrate an article entitled "Dances that tell stories." It deals with the new dances that have become so popular of late—the Salome dance of Miss Maud Allan, the Cleopatra dance of Mademoiselle Odette Valery, the Oriental dances of Miss Ruth St. Denis, and so on; and contains many interesting facts about the methods of these artistes. The stories in this number are very bright and readable. "Miss Crowe's Christ- mas," by Ward Muir; "The Banshee," by Frankfort Moore; "Too Old at Forty," by Owen Oliver; "The Snap Dragon," by Thomas Maybank—these are only a few of the many delightful short stories with a distinct Christmas flavour. Richard Marsh contributes a, thrilling story, entitled "The Burglary in Berkeley Square"; and in another story of young Lord Stranleigh is recounted yet another of the surprising doings of that engaging young man. A long complete story-a novel-in-brief —also appears in tlhe number, and will be found full of dramatic interest. Entitled "The Poison Cloud," it tells of London in the grip of a giant fog; the story is un- folded in a novel and attractive way and holds the interest well from start to finish. "BAILY'S MAGAZINE." In "Baily's Magazine of Sports and Pastimes" for December^ Captain R. L. Heygate, Master of the North Hereford- shire, furnishes the subject of the portrait and hographical sketch. "Masters of Hounds on the Etiquette of Hunting Dress" contains much of interest. Those who imagine that strictness in this regard is a development of our own generation will find enlightenment in thb rigorous rules laid down by the Tarporley Hunt Club over 130 years ago concerning the dress of members, who were. liable to fine if they transgressed them. This is an interesting subject, and certain to be re- turned to in the columns of "Ba^ly." "Cbrrigeen," in the thirteenth chapter of his series on angling, writes on salmon fishing with fly, prawn, and minnow, out of the fulness of knowledge. An apprecia- tion, by Mr H. T. Hewett, of Mr Bos- wortih Smith, beloved as a master at Har- row and known to a wider public as author of "Bitrd Liife and Bird Lore," is pleasant reading; the, article, which is accom- panied by a capital portrait, will be of special interest to Harrovians in general, and to Blozites in particular. Dr. Macpher- son urges upon golfers the merits of his system, whereunder competitors for cham- pionships should be weeded out, and the field reduced to manageable proportions,. In "Oarsmen: Ancient and Modern," G. T. B. tells an interesting story of the great scullers of the last half-century and their races. Recent yoks on, sp,ort, aire noticed, and "'The Van' is for tho most part devoted to a review of racing and hunting, with interesting summaries of the month's sport at home and abroad. "Baily's Magazine" iis published at Is., by Messrs Vinton and Co., 8, Bream's Build- ings, London, E.G. "FRY'S MAGAZINE" CHRISTMAS NUMBER. The Christmas Number of "Fry's Magazine" is more particularly a fiction number, and contains about eighty pages of excellent stories by many of the fore- most writers of sporting stories of the present day. Promflnent. among them is a delightfully amusing story entitled "Concerning C'atchpole," by Harold Begbde; a most graphic story, "An Arctic Reformer," by Bertram Atkey; and a fine golfing story by G. A. Riddell and Barnard Darwin, entitled "A Lost Elixir." Other good stories are: "Thieves' Hol- low," by J. ML Dodington; "A Big Game Expedition," by Albert Dorrington; "The Test," by D. Brandon; "The Efnsnaring of Doreen," by Reeves Shaw; "The Count's New Cue," by C. Ei. Hughes; "The Twelfth Rat," by Judson Boltl, etc. There are also articles on "Hare Trac- ing in the Snow," "The Threatened Ex- tinction of Shore Shooting," "The Eiarliest Fox," and "Auction Bridge," while the issue is, generally, an exceptionally good one.

ABAFT THE BINNACLE. The call had been passed round, "All hands for yarning," and old Adam, started where he had left off at the last, sitting), about the history of the Great Eastern, and the fire of blood in her first trip. "I carried out the ceremony of hauling the "blue-peter" to. the fore. It was at 7 30 in the morning; it's a ceremony I have done many a #jme during! my sea- going career, but I don't know as I ever heard it cheered before this occasion. I saw afterwards a picture, of the event in one of the illustrated papers, and as I failed to recognise, in the black-faced Johnny hauling up the flag, any resemb- lance to myself, I don't expect any of my friends would. "Well we started from Deptford in charge of four of the most powerful tugs in the river; the Napoleon, Victoria, Victor and Punch. The True Briton, another tug, was also in close attendance as a stand by in case of accidents. We got on all right until close to the West India Docks, when the crowd of craft moored and moving was so great that we had to stay progress, and for some time it looked all Lombard Street to a China orange that we should run ashore. By a piece of good luck the wind wa,s off shore, and we got through the crush, thanks to some smart work by the tugs. Two steamers, one was the "Tea Swallow," accompanied us. I remember the name because of a joke about the pas- sengers on board and swallowing, which they didn't; in fact, with the majority, ift was on the contrary. "Well we got, off the Nore without, any further hitch and anchored for the night. There was a brisk breeze rapidly rising into what promised to be a gale. Some large ships were lying to under close reefed top- sails, .and smaller craft looked like being engulfed. We had of course by this left the tugs behind, and were under our own Iste,am. "The sea was the test and if the weather had been ordered for us it, could not have been better. This was remarked upon by all the officers I clame in touch with. I don't know that, I ever spoke direct to the skipper, Claptain Harrison, or he to me; but as far as I know he was "one of the best," and spoken of as one of the leading men of the day." "Well the passengers on board had just finished dinner; the weather had not been to their Ijiking all day, and just then it was blowing half a gale on our bow. Sudden- ly there was throughout the, whole ship a sound of something between an explosion and a volcano, quickly followed by a hissing noise made by escaping steam, a tremendous crash. Mirrors, candelabras, fell to the floor, and were dashed in a thousand pieces, and the grand saloon was a complete, wreck. The passengers, were for the moment, paralysed at the shock. Many said afterwards they thought the first explosion would be followed by another, and they waited. Upon the deck glass from the uplifted skylights, one of the funnels down, and burst asunder. Well it did look as if the end had come, and I could not see how such an explosion could take place and we be still afloat, and yet. you'll hardly credit it, the Great Eastern hardly shifted from her course. "The skipper was here, there and every- where, putting confidence into the pas- sengers and crew. When the alarm had partly subsided an inquiry and search was made for any missing passengers. None were missing, but- two were slightly scarred and bruised. It would have been much more serious for them had it hap- pened one hour earlier. "In the, engine-room and stokehole there was a different tale to tell. Five of them were killed outright, or died later, and a dozen or more were. badly burnt and bruised. There were plenty of willing helpers and a couple of doctors worked for hours to help relieve the suffering. "The passengers showed their practical sympathy, and before they left us at Port- land had subscMibed upwards of £12,2, to be gjwen to those who had gone down as volunteers amidst the steam and danger to rescue their afflicted mates. "The damage done to the Great Eastern was put down at over £ 5,000. The in- quilry into the death of the stokers was held, and proved that the explosion was due to the bursting of a jacket attached to the foremost funnel! of the steamer, and that the bursting was due to the shut- ting off of a tap connecting a syphon to the jacket, and ciutting off the feed from the water-casing to the boilers. That such a tap. was placed where it could be turned off was considetred :a bad p;lece of engineer- ingr, and highly dangerous."

"Your husband does not knock you about now as he used to doeh 7" "No, .sir." "I am delighted to hear it. After all, his heart, is in the right place." "Oh, yes, suir—and, the, rest of his body, too He is, in prison." A member of the Stock Elxchange, on returning home one cold day, was tackled by his wife, who said he had promised to buy her a sealskin jacket. "Yes, my dear, I did," he said, "but I have had such a bad day in the market that I could only afford to buy you an in- candescent mantle!"

CRUELTY TO HORSEiS, At Ruthin on Tuesday, before Colonel Saxon Ellis and other magistrates, In- spector Fryer, of the R.S.P.C.A., pro- ceeded against two men for cruelly ill- treating horses. In the first case the de- fendant was Owen Owens, a coach driver from Ooedpoeth, who.pleaded guilty. On the 3rd inst. the inspector found Owens driving a pair of horses at Ruthin, and one of them was found to be suffering from wounds under t;he collar, making it quite unfit, for work. He was fined 20s. and costs. In the second case, the defendant was Aloysius Maddocks, a postman plying between Mold and Llandegla. He drove a mare which was in an emaciated condi- tion and was suffering from wounds on both shoulders. Maddocks was fined 10s. ,and costs.

ALLEGED ROBHEiR Y FROM THE VICARAGE. At Llanrwst on Monday David Jones, of Ruthin, was charged with breaking and entering the vicarage, Llanddewi, and stealing therefrom a tricycle, value JB28, the property of the Rev. David Felix, the vicar. Superintendent Woolam said that the prisoner was found at the Llan- rwst Workhouse. When arrested he stated that he broke into the house and got the machine through the window. He intended taking a ifide to Cerrigydruidion, but having several falls off the machine he threw it over a fence into a field. A re- mand was granted until Saturday. The prisoner in the cell had torn his clothes to shreds. ec,¡¡oo-

GONE OVEIR, FOUR YEARS. NO RETURN. No return wanted. Four years cured. Splendid statement by a Denbigh woman. Mrs O. Evans, 112, Henllan Street, Denbigh, says —For years I suffered with my back; now and again the pains were so severe that I could hardly walk across the room, or stand upright. When I lifted anything it, caused a sharp pain to shoot through my back, just for all the world like a knife-stab. I used to come over very dizzy, and little specks seemed to be before my eyes. "I tried numerous remedies, but none of them were able, to give me. relief. I am ,glad I decided to try Doan's backache kidney pills, for they have proved a, bless- ing to me. Within a few days I felt a lot better, and soon I was quite free, from pain. I am grateful for the cure Doan's backache kidney pills have, brought, me, and I shall certainly recommend them." Over 4 years after Mrs Evans made the above statement she said:—"I am pleased to be. able to say I have not suffered with backache or kidney complaint ever since Doan's backache kidney pills cured me. My cure has proved a long-standing one, and I look upon Doan's as a splendid medicine." Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are two shillings and ninepence per box (six boxes for thirteen shillings and ninepence). Of all chemists and stores, or post free, direct from Fo st er-MicCl ell an Co., 8, Wells-street, Oxford-street, London, W. Mrs Evans was cured by Doan's; be sure thait you get "DOAN'S."

j, DUCK STEALING. At Llangollen on Monday David Thomas Elvans and Robert Hughes, labourers, were each sent, to hard labour for two months for the theft of three ducks, the property of Councillor J. H. Davies. It was explained that owing to the in- creasing number of thefts that had re- cently taken place in the locality the police had been exceptionally vigilant of laite. Twenty previous convictions were proved against David Evans, and in sen- tencing the prisoners the Chairman said it was a, very disagreeable thing to. sit in judgment, in a case of this kind upon one's neighbours,, but the growing evil must be stamped out.

NORTH WALES WOMEN'S TEMPERANCE UNION. Last Wednesday, by invitation -of Lady Roberts, president of the Union, a con- ference of workers from the branches in West Denbighshire was held at Bryn- gwenallt, Abergele. The, following day a similar conference was held at Bala by in- vitation of Mrs Hugh Williams. Between fifty and isixty ladies attended each con- ference. The Union grows steadily, and numbers now 225 branches and over 13,000 members.

HOW PRIZE! FIGHTS ARE FAKED. A favourite game with fake-fighters in the States is worked in the following way. A boxer with a good reputation is perhaps doing a music hall tour. He sends ahead of him, about a fortnight before he ap- pears at a certain town, a couple of sparring partners. These men work up interest in boxing by posting forfeits with the principal town newspaper and fighting local pugilists for stakes. Then the winner of these small fights issues a challenge to the world. True, the challenge gets little beyond the local newspaper; but it is a challenge for all that, and when the well-known boxer comes along and accepts the challenge the town is naturally all agog with excite- ment. But the challenger cuts a sorry figure, and nothing more is seen of him by the locals, for the simple reason that he has gone on to the next town to repeat the performance—under another name, perhaps.

Master: "Im sorry to hear, Pat, that your wife is dead." Patrick: "Faitth an' 'tis. a sad day for us all, sir. The hand that rocked the cradle has kicked the bucket."
