ECHOES. The cartoon in the current issue of John Bull" is strongly reminiscent of the Irishman who sat cheerfully on the branch which he was severing from the tree-trunk, for it de- picts John Bull in the act of ringing a bell which will inevitably decapitate him in its first downward swing. According to a White Paper just issued, the sum of [464,540 was spent during the year ending 1909 under the General Light- houses Fund for the maintenance of light- houses in the United Kingdom, while an ad- ditional sum of [15,000 was spent in con- nection with lighthouses abroad. .1 In a Truth puzzle competition to name the most typical Englishman, Scotsman, Irishman, and Welshman respectively of the present time, most competitors mention Mr Lloyd George but the names also occur of Sir S T Evans, Sir Vincent Evans, Sir Walter Vaughan Morgan, Sir John Rhys, and the Bishop of St David's. A poacher found at Neath with two rab- bits in his pockets was fined io/- with costs. He is now rejoicing that 'he does not live within the Dewsland area of jurisdiction. John Bull" remarks in its current issue: J.W.P. (Peckham) tells us that our Bis- cuits sometimes result in the dismissal of a c ul 1 carless compositor. Too bad It is the sub-editor that should have the sack." For an exhibition of colossal ignorance as to the duties and responsibilities of a sub-editor our contemporary is hereby awarded the Biscuit Good Friday will this year coincide with Lady Day—an event proverbially reputed to be fraught with disaster for England. Let us trust that Wales may escape The Right Hon I ord St Davids left South- hampton on Friday week for Buenos Ayres by the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company's Steamer Danube." The number of lives lost during December on British vessels respecting whose loss re- ports were received at the Board of Trade, was 348, including 215 who perished in the missing steamship Waratah. Despite the intervention of the Christmas holidays, the Echo was last week issued at the accustomed hour, and in its usual form. Neither stereo nor other fill-ups" were resorted to in order to achieve this object; on the contrary, the pressure upon our space was so excessive that late news had considerably to be curtailed, whilst it was found necessary to issue a special edition exclusively for the benefit of Newport (Pem) readers.

NEW FORM OF OATH. The new form of oath for courts of justice is now in operation, and the "delight" of kissing the thumb in preference to a dilap- idated and often dirty Testament comes to an end unless specifically applied for. In all police-courts the following oath will be taken I swear by Almighty God that the evi- dence I shall give be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but ths truth. For assizes and quarter sessions the form of oath will be as under:- I swear by Almighty God that the evi- dence I shall give to the court and jury sworn between our Sovereign Lord the King and the prisoner at the bar shall be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Kissing the Book does not posess any very great antiquity, for it was only in the Middle Ages that it began to supersede the form of oath which demanded the laying of theh and on the book. Almost every race and tribe seems to have had its peculiar custom of oath taking. In Assam, two men laid hold of a dog, which was then chopped in two as an emblem of the fate which would befall the perjurer. The Ostyaks of Siberia swore in the Russian law courts on the head of a bear. Other tribes swore on their weapons, or by standing in a circle of rope, while the Hindoo still regards the oath taken on water from the Ganges as his most binding pledge. And, after all, it is not the ceremony, but the penalty, that matters to the witness, and Yea/ yea, Nay, nay," is enough-" Chron- icle." 11

FISHGUARD WOMAN'S GOOD FOR- TUNE. In the following paragraph a Fishguard women tells of her good fortune. We not only offer her our congratulations, but thank her for her outspoken statement. Many of us, too, will profit by her experience. Mrs J George, of Glyn-y-m&l-road, Lower Fishguard, says For a long time I had been suffering with my back, and attacks of giddiness. I tried all I could to get rid of these troubles, but it was not until I used Doan's backache kidney pills that I obtained relief. These pills, I am glad to say, did me a world of good they not only cured the backache,but they relieved me of the dizziness as well. I am glad to be able to recommend Doan's backache kidney pills, for they are indeed a first-rate medicine." If you suffer from graved, backache, urinary disorders, dropsical swellings in the ankles or limbs, rheumatism, lassitude, weakness, dizzi- ness cold hands and feet or any symtoms of kidney and bladder trouble, Doan's backache kidney pills will cure you as they have cured many men and women here in our own town. Doan's backache kidney pills are two shil- lings and ninepence per box, or six boxes for thirteen shillings and ninepence. Of all chemists and stores, or post free direct from the Foster-McClellan Co., 8, Wells-street, Oxford-street; London, W. Be sure you get the same kind of pills as Mrs George had.

Nature Study. UTILITY DEMONSTRATED, IN PEMBROKESHIRE. That the child is father to the man is a well-worn truism. It has long been known that the small boy can on occasion make an admirably efficient detective, and now it is suggested that he should play the same use- ful part in another sphere. The idea comes from the Board of Agriculture, and is based on the fact that a Pembrokeshire school- master sent to the board a strange insect dis- covered by one of his pupils during.a ramble of his Nature-study class. The record," we are told, is interesting as showing the way in which the arrival of dangerous pests might be detected and the plague stayed through the instrumentality, both simply and widely distributed, of school-children." There are a good many people who think public money is frittered away by school children being initiated into various matters more or less useless to them in after life. Whether Nature-study may be excluded from this re- proach by the prospect of the timely discovery of an insect pest is a subject on which the curious may hold various opinions. To cultivate the habit of intelligent observation is a good thing in itself, but we shall appre- ciate it more when something more tan- gible than a supposed Colorado beetle has been spotted by our juvenile Nature students.

At Etholwyr Rhyddfrydol Sir Benfro Gymreig. Anwyl Gyd-etholwyr,—Y mae yn hysbys bell- ach i ni oil fod yr Etholiad Cyffredinol pwysicaf y canrifoedd diweddaf ar bwys. Y mae gweith- red feiddgar ac anghyfansoddiadol Ty yr Ar- glwyddi yu gwrthod pasio y Gyllideb ac yn mynu yn ddihawl apelio yn rhagrithiol at farn y wlad, yn ein gosod ar ein prawf ac yn rhoddi cyfle i ni nas gallwn ei osgoi, i ddangos o bit ddefnydd yr ydym wedi ein gwneuthnr. Yr hyn gredid ac a arferid er y tiwyddyn 1678 oedd, tnai Tyy Cyff- redin yn unig oedd yn meddu yr hawl i drefnu a chasglu yr arian oedd raid gael er mwyn dwyn treuliau y wlad. Arferai yr Arglwyddi byth er y tiwyddyn a nodwyd basio y Gyllideb heb gyf- newid na cheisio gwella dim ami hyd ddiwedd Tachwedd diweddaf. Yr adeg bono, ar gais tri neu bedwar o ffleimiaid yn ein mysg—un o'r rhai hyny 711 Arglwydd liaglaw y sir hon—gwrthod- wyd y Gyllideb fwyaf gonest a chytiawn a gynyg. iwyd i'r wlad erioed gan unrbyw Lywodraeth gan fwyafrif o 275, a hyny pan yn gwybod eu bod yn peri colied i'r wlad o rai miliynau o bunoedd, ac yn creu anrhefn andwyol yn mhob cylchoedd gwladol. Y rheswm roddir dros hyny yw fod eisieu cael barn y bobl, ond y gwirionedd yw, mae ymgais at gael gallu ac awdurdod yr hen Gyfun- drefn Wisogaethol (' Feudal System ') ar y werin, yn 01 sydd arnynt. 0 dan hono, yr oedd y werin yn hollol at ewyllys a gwasauaeth yr Aighvyddi Ysprydol a Thymhorol. Ni feiddiau na dyn na dynes a dan hono wneyd dim ond a ganiateid iddynt gan berchenogion y tiroedd. Y r oedd y bobl gyffredin yn gaethion yn mhob peth, ond mewn enw. Gyda llwyddiant athrawiaethau y Diwygiad Protestanaidd, cynydd gwybodaeth Feiblaidd, dylanwad crefydd ein HargJwydd lesu Grist, a nerth yr efengyl a bregechid gan y Tadau Ym- neillduol Cymreig, a bywyd sanctaidd yr hen saint, gwellhaodd pethau yn raddol, ie, yn radd- ol iawn hefyd. Nid heb ddirwyon trymion, nid heb attafaeliadau mawrion o feddianau, nid heb gargarchiadau anghyiiawn, ac nid heb ferthyriad- au llofruddiog, yr enillwyd ychydig o'r rhyddid a fwynhawn yn awr. Edrycher dros groniclau Meinciau Ynadol a charcharau, a gwelir y pris y mae ein rhyddid wedi gostio. Y mae ar ei ddi- llad ysniotiau dagrau a defnynau o waed ein Tadau Yrnneillduol. Bellach gwneir ymdrech benderfynol a bawaidd i'n hytnddifadu o'n rhydd- id y fath ag ydyw, a rhaid ymladd am dano yrail waith. Rhyfedd hyny yn y ddegfed flwyddyn o'r ugeinfed ganrif, ond felly y mae. Y mae ein capelau yn tryfritho yr ardaloedd, ac aelodau ein heglwysi yn cael eu rbifo wrth y degau o filoedd, ac eto rhaid i ni ymladd am ein bywyd a'n bod- olaeth. Y mae y rhyfel wedi ei gyhoeddi a'n byddinoedd yn yrngynull i'r frwydr. Rhaid i ni ymladd fel dewrion neu ynte golli ein gafael yn yr ymddiriedaeth a gawsoin oddiwrth ein tadau. Y mae yr hen ddeddfau creulon a gwaedlyd y bu yr hen saint yn eu herio eto ar ddeddflyfrau y wlad-llaw Deddf Goddeliad yn unig sydd yn eu cadw yn llonydd. Beth pe y cynygiai naill a'i Arglwydd Cawdor, Arglwydd Milner, Arglwydd Curson, neu yn enwedig Arglwydd Rothchild, yn Nhy yr Arglwyddi, dynu y Toleration Act" yn ol, pa sawl un o'r 350 fedda. ar ddigon o wrol- deb i bleidleisio yn ei erbyn ? Ofnwn mai ychydig o honynt. Dywed hen ddiareb, Y gall dyn gael ei dwyllo unwaith gan gyfaill, ond y bydd y dyn hwnw yn ffwl os twylliref yr eilwaith gan yr un person." Yr ydym wedi gweled twyll a rhagrith Ty yr Arglwyddi yn ami. Hyderwn na roddwn iddo faintais i'n twyllo a'n dirmygu byth mwy, serch yn hwyrach yr argyhoeddwn of Mai trech gwhd nac Arglwydd." Y mae materion pwysig ereill ger ein bron, sef y Gyllideb, Masnach Rydd, Mesurau Cymdeith- asol y Llywodraeth, Dadgysyiltiad a Dadwaddol- iad yr Eglwys Sefydledig ynKghymrn, &< &c., ond gall y rhai hyny oil, gyda'r eithriad o'r blaenaf, aros hyd nes y byiaom wedi setlo ein cyfrifon a Thy yr Arglwyddi. Y cwestiwn pwysicaf yn yr etholiad sydi yn agoshau yw, a ydym yn foddlon cael ein with olwynion cerbydau yr Arglwyddi, neu ynte a ydym yn benderfynol i ymladd byd at waed os rhaid yn erbyn trais a gormes y niawrion ? Hyderwyf mai ein hateb nnol fydd, heb yr un yn tynu'n groes, "Ffwrdd a. thrais a gormes yr Arglwyddi o liien corwynt cyiiawn digofaint gwerin wedi ei chyffroi." Chwifiwn faner, dy- noethwn y cledd, peidiwn gofyn trugaredd na rhoddi trugaredd chwaith, yuladdwn yn deilwng o'n crefydd ac o'n Gwaredwr. I'r gad, i'r gad a ni. a mynwn fuddagoliaeth benderfynol. Yr wyf ti wedi cymeryd than yn mhob Etholiad Cyffre- dinol er ys haner can' mlyaedd, ac er nad wyf mor gryt ac hoew ag y bum unwaith, ni bum erioed yn fwy awyddus i fesur cleddyfau a'r gelyn na'r tro hwn. Os daw y cytle, gwelir ti yn y man y bydd y frwydr bofithaf, a thra hyderaf iuai dyna ein hysbryd a'n penderfyniad oil. GIYBwn wrth ein rhyddid.—Yr eiddoch, J. W. MAURICE.

Fishguard Church Choir Supper. i Appended is a report of the post prandia pioceedings in connection with this annual function, unavoidably crowded out of our last issue After the toast of the King had been hon- oured on the initiative of ,he Vicar (Rev. W Evans, M.A., R.D.), the duty was taken off tobacco," and a most enjoyable evening was spent. The Vicar, in proposing the health of the tvo Wardens, referred regretfully to their ab- sence that evening, and said that the choir supper was not the same without the genial presence of Mr T G Bennett, J.P., and Capt. Berry, who, he was extremely sorry to say, were both indisposed. Mr J R Richards seconded, and said that the strength and success of the church was due to the loyal way in which the wardens worked with their energetic Vicar. The next toast was that of the Choir and Sunday School Teachers, the names coupled with it being those of Mr J R Richnrds, pre- sent senior chorister; Mr George Williams, the oldest chorister and Sunday School teach- er Mrs Brinn, who has regularly held a class during the whole ministry of the present Vicar Miss Braithwaite,. Mr E W Rees, and Messrs B H John and G T Williams (Sunday School secretary). Mr Richards replied for the choir, Mr Geo. Williams for the Welsh classes, and Mr E W Rees for the Sunday and day sdools, many well-deserved compliments being oaid to the Vicar for the really excellent wor; which he had done and was doing in the larish, the results being shown by the strenith of and the harmony amongst all classes )f church folk. A very hearty vote of thanks to tie Misses Rees for the excellent supper suppied was passed, and Mr T G Bennett (junr.) \as asked by the Vicar to reply for the ladies, lhich he did in excellent style. A very hearty vote of thanks to tie Vicar and Mrs Evans was accorded with musical honours. The remaining hours were spent 4 games and dancing, songs being contribted by Messrs S J Pitt and Morton Jones, an a most enjoyable evening was eventually brcjght to a close by the singing of the Natioal An- them. The accompanists were Miss M Ta-mer Mr S J Pitt (organist of St. Mary's), and tr A A Lambert (organist of St. Luke's College, Exeter, where he is at present training

The Ohancellor and Sir (Wen Philipps. A HIGH TRIBUTE. I Speaking at Llanelly on Wednesday 'eek, Mr Lloyd George referred to the personal of the Welsh Liberal Party, and in the come of his remarks said They represent in heir own person hundreds of thousands of pSple who are dependent upon keeping the Qm- merce, the trade, and the industry of his country going in full swing. Why shclld they enter a conspiracy to destroy he country's commerce ? There is another )t. We have three manufacturers. I am ipciudig two candidates who are coming in (laught). Once a man is chosen by the Liberal Paty in Wales he is for all practical purpose:a member (laughter and cheers). There is oe of them a very large manufucturer whos coming in for Swansea (cheers). There s another not quite as large, still a very larg manufacturer, who is coming in for Flit Boroughs. There you are-manufacturer, lawyers, teachers, workmen, colliery proprie tors, and landowners going to smash th trade of this country But, shipping forgot. One of the greatest shipping owner: in the United Kingdom is a Welsh member Sir Owen Philipps, who now represents, anc will in the next Parliament continue to re- present, Pembroke Boroughs. He is youi neighbour, he has been in shipping all his life, and he is at the head of one of the greatest shipping concerns in the world, and, what is still more, he picked it up when it was lan- guishing, and he has made a prosperous con- cern of it. Then there is my friend, Mr Herbert Lewis, who is also interested in shipping. So that you have practically every branch of trade and commerce repre- sented. Then, why on earth should we, at any rate, enter into a conspiracy for smash- ing up the very business upon which we de- pend for our living ? (Cheers). When they talk like that they are talking nonsense, and they know it. (Cheers). But we are to be saved by the House of Lords. (Laughter). These manufactures, colliery proprietors, and shipowners, and lawers, and miners, they are going to destroy the industry of the country. Thank God there is the House of Lords (Loud cheers and laughter). Who are they ? (Cheers). Why should they be specially qualified to be the custodians of trade and industry ?"
