:CO-'PARINERSHIF AND LOSSES. On Monday, at Birkenhead, Mr. W. H. Lever isnitde an interesting speech on co-partnership um president of the Royal Institute of Public Health. "One essential element in expediency as ap- plied to all prosperity or profit-ekaring r#ckemee/: he said, "is that loss-sharing must go with profit-sharing1, and cannot possibly be de- tatihed from it. "The employee must be of necessity secure in iiie salary or Wages. Beyond this proeperity- •anharing proposes to give the employee the op- portunity year by year, with loyal and devoted :service, of building up an ever-increasing per- momt) interest in the continued success of the builincts. "That is practically all that capital and ftenagement secure for themselves as the resist -of iong3 patient, and unremitting toil. "The employee sharing in the prosperity of -fit business he is encaged in must also ever ftare in mind that its failure would sweep away Me annually increasing share, which it had lkakeio him a lifetime of industry and effort to acquire. "It is only on the basis of loss-sharing being Joined with prosperity-sharing that the latter 4a. be, lifted from a pauperising and degrading level. of benevolence into the stimulating, de- veloping, and elevating heights of business ex- pediency."

WESLEYAN GOOSE CLUBS. At the Wesleyan Conference at Bradford on Monday, the Rev. J. Herbert Rider brought in the report of a committee which had before it iIle memorial from the Grocers' Association Against the carrying on of goose clubs by the large missions. The committee considered that 4bete clubs hsd been of great benefit to poor people in many places in the inculcation of -thrift and protection against temptation. They did not think it would be well to prohibit these tflults. but thought the matter should be care- fully guarded. They recommended that these .,ilubs should be held I (1) Only in destitute localities and for very poor people, and should not become parts of the ordinary church organisation. (2) That they should not be commercially worked with a view to profit, and an unfair .competition with traders. (3) That arrangements should be made for 4be supply of goods by local tradesmen. (4) That no one connected with the club -should have a personal financial interest.

A BOY'S SECRET HEROISM. Teddy Williams, a thirteen-year-old school- has been awarded the Royal Humane :8ociety's certificate for rescuing a school-fellow, David" Evans, from drowning. Evans was learning to swim in the harbour at Portmadoe, when he was carried into the whirlpool by the floodgates, He had disappeared for the third -time when Williams seized him and brought Aijui ashore. The rescuer and other boys brought Evans to "OllciOUSnc8s by artificial respiration, and then, knowing the harbour to be a forbidden bathing place, resolved to say nothing about the inci- • dent The boy's heroism only came to light because Bvans, who prided himself < n the regular at- {tendance at school which had won him a silver watch, was too ill to attend on the following .-day, and Williams, his rescuer, was heard to «ry out in his sleep, "A rope! A rope to save ,,id

DICKMAN'S APPEAL. The following statement was issued from the ome Office on Monday John Alexander Dickman. who was con- victed of the murder of John limes Nisbet at the recent Northumberland Assizes, has ap- pealed to the Court of Criminal Appeal on fgrounds involving questions of law. The lome Secretary, in view of the applications She has received questioning the justice of the .conviction, and of certain evidence brought to his notice which may possibly be regarded as material, has, in the exercise of his power ..tottferred upon him by Section 19 of the Criminal Appeal Act, 1907, referred the whole ease to the Court, so as to enable the ,.court to deal with it as if there were an ap- peal on grounds involving questions of fact.

A WONDERFUL ESCAPE. A miraculous escape from death is reported -in the Romford district. Oh Sunday morning ih* police received information that a. man had fallen from the Yarmouth to London express between Romford and Squirrels Heath, and they at, once proceeded down the line with .(Several of the railway officials. They diø- covered the nian standmg with one foot resting a barrow by the side of the line, quite lln- alanned at his experience. No bones were broken, and the only injury he had sustained -wen a slight abrasion of the left, shin. The train was going at aboirt fifty miles an hour when the accident happened.

-*• j rOLICE COURT RECONCILIATION. I Tire re was a touching incident at*he Felthajn Police-court, when a voting man was boun<S j -over for assaulting his wife. I The wife, a delicate woman, who said she bad been married only twelve months. sat down -an a. bench- weeping, and the husband was JBarching out of the court when the chairman .called him back, and said, "Go up to your wife and comfort her, and try to be a good husband ;;m future." The husband hesitated, but went tap to the Woman, put his arm round her, and feent over her, and shortly afterwards they left the court together.

SISTERS DROWNED. 1 A Bailing boat containing two lads and two girts capsized off Southeea on Monday owing te the ftftils gybing, and the four occupants were thrown into the water. Other boats which were near picked, up the lade, one of whom was lying face downwards in the water, but no trace was found of the girls, and they were evidently drowned. Pre- sumably the bodice were carried out to flea by strong current*. They were sisters, Kitty and Edith Moore, sixteen and thirteen respectively. When the War capsized they called out to the elder of the two boys to cave their little brother Frank, aged four, saying they "could manage all right." The Moo res were visiting South sea, and were strangers to the elder boy, Claude Swayne, of Southsea, who met them on the beach and took them afloat. John William Brogden, of Jarrow, was drowned in South Shields Harbour on Monday, and hi." companion, William Lambt had a nar- row escape. Brogden and Lamb were rowing in a canvas canoe in the harbour when the herring drifter Dorothy Rose, of Lowestoft, collided with it, practically cutting the flimsy craft in two. Both men were thrown into the water. Captain Orbv, from the trawler Bravely, plunged in and attempted a rescue, but Brogden sank and was drowned before the skipper's eyes. Lines were thrown, and Lamb managed to save himself. A small boat: was launched from the tug Cruiser lying close to, and Captain Orby was rescued after his gallant but futile attempt at rescue.

SUNDAY TRADING AT YARMOUTH. Yarmouth's Watch Committee, which recently began a campaign of prosecutions against Sun- day trading, has been attacked on its own ground. Recently several employees at the Sea View Exhibition, on the Marine-parade, were fined for Sunday trading. Mr. J. Barron, of the exhibition, replied on Monday with an appli- cation at the police-court for summonses against the Juan who takes money at the Cor- poration Winter Gardens on' Sundays, and against the boy who sells the programmes. Mr. Barron's solicitor declared that, when his client went to the gardens, a police ser- gea-nc and constable refused to take the names of the man and the boy. He therefore applied to the Bench, so that the question of Sunday trading might be decided one way or another. "It is grossly unfair to make a selection," he said. The magistrates' clerk, however, said that Mr. Barron would have to lrecure the consent of the chief constable and two magistrates before a. summons could be issued. But this step was rendered unnecessary later in the day. A special meeting of the Watch Committee, which has instigated the prosecu- tions, was. culled, and it was decided to aban- don all prosecutions for Sunday trading in future, in view of the fact that the corporation were themselves Sunday traders.

DRINKS FOR THE JURY. There was a remarkable incident at Birming- ham Assizes on Monday. 1 Mr ? Jus'tifl IJarlfhg called before him the jury who tried a slander action on Saturday and said he had received a complaint that when the fees were brought by, the court officer one of the jurymen took up the whole money, intimating that it was customary to spend it on drink. The foreman admitted that he picked up the money. He had been on juries before, and it had been the practice to give the man in charge of it something and spend the rest or put it in the poor-box. His lordship said it was absolutely wrong to give any portion of the fee to the usher. It was most improper, too, that the money should be spent in drink. Half the crime they had to deal with at these assizes was due to people taking too much drink, and it was sad if a jury, there to administer justice and bring people to a proper mode of life, should, the moment they left the court, give an exhibition of this sort. He hoped nothing of the sort would hap- pen again. ^;—— j

BUTTER TRADE TRICKS. I ,In a case at West London, Police-court on Monday, in which Llewellyn Powell, grocer, 84, Biythe-road, Hammersmith, was summoned: for selling butter which contained 40 per cent,, of foreign fat, it was alleged that the sample taken from the defendant's shop was so ^mriously mixed up that one end of it was Pilie butter, the other end was margarine, and the middle was a mixture. A third part %of the sample was submitted to a Government analyst, who declared it to be pure butter. Mr. P. A. Ellis-Richards, public analyst for Hammersmith, thought it quite possible that a shopmVn could so put up butter and margarine together that they could be separated. Mr. C. E. Cassal,. public analyst for West- minster, said he had come across several similar samples, and in one instance it was possible to gee with the naked eye three different lajerfi- Tiz., butter, margarine, and a mixture. A fine of 40s., with 30s. costll, was imposed.

STRIKERS AND POLICE. Avonmouth dockers' dispute assumed a more serious phase on Monday, when the strikeh11 came into conflict with the police. For safety's I sake the Bristol authorities deemed it advis- able that some carts taking provisions from the city to, the Avonmouth docks should have an escort of mounted police. There was no trouble until Shirehampton, about half way between Bristol and Avonmouth, was reached. There a crowd of roo to 400 dockers blocked the roadway, and endeavoured to force the carts to return. The mounted police, however, quietly but firmly forced a passage through the crowd, and the carts were got past in safety, but the police found that two of their horses had been stabbed in the hind legs. Mr. Orbell, one of the dockers' leaders, after- wards reproved the men who had opposed the passage of the carts, and strongly denounced those who had injured the horses.

r HOME HINTS. When putting a rod through the hem of 0 curtain, the stick is liable to tear it. Asy* way, it does not generally slip through easily. But just put a thimble on one and of the stick, and you will find it will glide through without causing any iiiconwenienes. A good remedy for stained knives is to ha.ve a penny box of powdered bath-briek standing on the sink, and, after washing Its. knives, apply a little briskly on a pi« £ 0 d damp rag. This is a good recipe for neuralgia: Light a piece of brown paper, blow out the flame, and inhale the smoke through the nostrils. In five minutes the pain will have entirely dis- appeared, with invariable (success. One of the commonest causes of broken incandescent gas mantles is that of being too precipitate in applying a match to the gas. The match should never be fitruck before turning on the gas, so that the latter may have time to envelop the mantle before it is lighted. To cure cramp in the legs at night make a garter of wide tape, and on to it Few thin slices of cork cut from a wine-bottle eork. Wear this regularly every night in bed. At cramp probably comes from acidity, reduce this py drinking hot water every night before going to bed. A teaspoonful of powdered alum to a tcft- cupful of lukewarm water sniffed into the nostrils will stop bleeding from the nose. When the nose bleeds make the patient lie flat, with the head thrown back, and a cold sponge over the nape of the neck, and another pressed over the bridge of the nose. Be careful of dripping and fat when cook- ing. If you put dripping in the oven, keep a sharp watch on it, or it will blaze up when the oven door is opened. Never throw water on boiling fat, it only makes it boil over worse than ever. Some salt or earth is the best thing to put it out. Don't try melting I beeswax and turpentine in the oven; the I turps catches alight with surprising ease.

AFFECTED BY THE TEETH. f The shape of the nose, lips, and mouth, and the quality of the voice, are directly affected by the character and position of the i teeth. Defects sadly apparent later in life may often be traced directly to premature loss or the first or baby teeth. The wise mother will insist on perfect cleanliness of the child's teeth and mouth. In after years* site will receive the grateful thanks of the child. PITKVMXTS DRAUGHTS. Many people who would otherwise adopt the healthy habit of sleeping with open win- dows will not do so because they are afraid of encountering a draught. A simple way to avert the danger is to cut a piece of fine muslin the width of the window, and about six inches deep. Fasten it. 10 the top and .sides of the window with.,dr.aw^ dries" away with all "tear of firs light- when the window is open, as the air is slowly filtered through the muslin, which also keeps out the dust. PUTTING ON A VIBIL. It is in art to get a, veil on well, and much depends on the start. Always tie a new veil in a small knot in the centre of the upper edge. This will give a little fulness, which permits it to lie over the face without si retching. Pin—never tie—the two upper ends on the hat and the two lower en-dii low j down on the hair, almost at the neck. Aj trick of taking care of the lower front edge at the chin line is to pull it well down, twist in the Middle and tuck the twisted part down into your collar. Thill keeps it secure and makes a becoming frame to the chin if yoa are slender, but if you have a full neck do not let the veil come over it. I. BE CHEERFUL. Engraved faces are often the result of 1 habit. Woman is not content with express- ing herself in words; she must needs make little noses and funny face to give completion to her idea. If you wail about your lack of j beauty, watch yourelf for one short day. You I will be surprised to find what wonderful I things you will do with your own face. If countenances, were not so substantially built, they would sooner show the wear and tear imposed upon them. Wrinkles and lines are indexes to one's life book.
