Chester, March 5,1888. I suffered from rheumatic pains in my a.rms and legs for over five years. 1 also had a bruised shinbone, through which I could rest for only a few minutes at a time. All sorts of remedies were applied, but none did any good for more than a few days. I was recom- mended to try Clarke's Blood Mixture, which I did, and on taking the first bottle I felt relief. I was told that eleven bottles would effect a perfect cure I onyi took nine bottles and a half, whicl1 cost me 2s ód per bottle. It is now ten months since, and I have not felt the least pain—in fact, I am perfect in my walk, and am in as good health as ever I was in my life. "Moreover, I told two friends of mine who were laid up with rheumatic pains of my cure, and they tried your Clarke's Blood Mixture. They are tailors by trade, and in seven days they were at work again, and they say it cannot be too highly praised.—Hoping I am not intruding, I remain, yours sincerely, "G.

--0- MAKING CHICKENS BY STEAM. At one time (writes Mr Birnum) I bad in my museum at New York an incubator for hatching chickens. It tzorttamed 21 drawers, and as three weeks is the tisual length of time for bens to sit upon eggs in order to hatch them, one drawer- ful of these eggs would batch out every day and be replenished by fresh eggs. Consequently scores of young chickens would be running about on the floofc of the museum, and were quite an attraction as paving been artificially hatched. An old market woman from Fulton market, who bad been for 20 an selling poultry and eggs was attracted' bg ,ray advertisement, which was headed Chickens made by steam." As soon as she entered the door and saw these chickens running rouocf ba the floor, she said, Well, that is the most wonderful thing I ever have beard ofi-iu^ay life. I have been dealing in poultry for 20 i^ears, and I never supposed it was possible W make chickens in this way."

_I HOME RULE FOIl WALES. WELSH PUBLIC OPINION ON THE QUESTION. A superficial observer of Welsh life, or one who did not possess tbe key to the inner and deeper sentiments of the Welsh people, would have been apt to come to the conclusion but a very short while since that there was nothing in Wales approaching a desire for any measure of Home Kale. That such a conclusion would have been not only unfounded, but absolutely incorrect in point of fact, was abundantly manifest to those who kept themselves in close touch with the people, and who were in the habit of keeping themselves informed of the feel- ings and sentiments which, though for the time dormant, were ready to spring into active life under favourable circumstances. Tbe publication of Mr W. J. Parry's draft ot a bill providing for Home Rule for Wales has afforded the necessary impulse to bring the question prominently to the front. It is possible that many, perhaps the majority, of those who favoured Home Rule for Wales might not possess very clearly defined notions as to the form which a measure of autonomy for Wales should assume, but that such a measure was, and is, ardently hoped for is now becoming every day more and more evident. Mr Parry's Bill will serve an excellent purpose if only in aifordiug a text for discussion. With all its details few will, perhaps, be prepared to agree. With some it goes too far, with ochers not far enough. But the funda- mental principle underlying the whole, the right of the Welsh people to manage their own mterual affairs, aad not to be compelled to wait until Parliament has bad time to deal with everybody else's business, is heartily endorsed by tbe Welsu people. The Bancr, in the issue in which it announces the enlargement of the paper to the extent of sixteen columns, emphatically endorses the pro- posal. Though it does not deal exhaustively with the subject, it gives a summary of the pioposed measure, and says, We are patriotically in- debted to Mr W, J. Parry for this measure of Home Rule. Though it will be necessary to modify some of its provisions before itcunbe passed into law, its lunJamental principles are undoubtedly good." Y. Genedl Gymreig ("The Welsh Nation," Nationalist,), iu the course of an article dealing exhaustively with tins subject, says:—"The English National Liberal Federation has adopted Home Rule, not only for Ireland, but also for Scotland and Wales, among the subjects on which the next Liberal Government will legislate. Mr Gladstone in his recent speech at Manchester gave bis undoubted sanction and approval to such a measure of Home Rule for Waies." It then proceeds to contrast the respective actions of the North aud the South Wales Liberal Federations in dealing with this question,and thus continues —"All reforms pass through three separate stages, in the first stage the proposal is laughed at and ridiculed as a vain ana impractic- able dream. Iu the second stage all attempt IS made to convince its supporters that they are wrong. In the third stage the opponents be- come supporters, and declare they have always been iu favour of the principle—and then tue measure becomes law. Home Rule for Wales lias pissed through the first of these stages—it has uutiived the ridicule once cast upon it as au impracticable idea; it is evident that it is uow undergoing the second stage, aud beiug sub- jected to the criticism of politicians who have no sympathy with it. Home Rule for Wales does not unply separation from Eugland, nor an inten- tion to set up a Principality independent of the British Empire. All we ask is the right to legislate for ourselves ou questions which only affect us. Let.then, every local society discuss the matter and thoroughly ventilate it. The Welsh press must direct public attention more fre- quently and more distinctly to the subject. Better days are about to dawn upon Wales. Let us do our best to justify the increased confidence which will shortly be reposed in us. Theu, when tbe Celtic nationalities in Scotland, Ireland, and Wales are allowed to mauage their own affairs, there will be found in those countries far greater attachment to the Imperial Government, aud a more real union between them and the English nation than at present exists." Tbe cautious and diplomatic Tysl a'r Dydd says —" Mr W. J. Parry's propose a bill grautiug Home Rule to Wales will souu be the one subject of discussion throughout the Principality. We do not expect it will be favourably received by all but theu what scheme ever cunceived by any man could be acceptable to everybody We do not believe Mr Parry's measure to be perfect, but it contains matters which will certainly attract attention, induce investigation, and elicit the yiews of tue uation's politicians." The Oswestry Advertiser says;—"Mr Parry, "ice-cuaaluau of Lilt: Carnarvonshire Couaty Council, has drafted the cutliues of a Home Rule Bill for Wales. Wbeu Mr Gladstone mentioned the matter at Manchester his words were care- fully chosen. He spoke of the subject of Homo Rule or of provision in the direction of Houie Rule for Wales,' aud it is probable that the majority of intelligent Welshmen look forward to a, National Council, made up perhaps from the Cuuuty Councils ot the principality, as the form of Home Rule which is most suuuble to their needs. But a great deal will depend upon the action of the Imperial Parliament. At the same time it is amusing to observe the way in which the proposal for Home lule 10. Wales is met by a paper like the Times. Our centeuiporary writes ut the out-cry for Home Rule ou the pate of the ridiculous tribal patriots ot Wales,' and proceeds to say that a separate Parliament and Govern- ment for tbe numerically insignificant portion of the population of this island are things too plainly absurd to be seriously en. tertained by anybody but a vernacular 'orator.' Vernacular orator' is good. But the vernacular writer' of the Times, iu his tine phrensy of indignation against people who are ridiculous enough to speak the r own language, seems to come very near absurdity himself iu dealing with population. Wales has a population of 1,360,513, or,including Monmouth, 011,571,780, wluclJ 18 not a "ery insignificant population t: vu for a separate crown, to say nothing or a separate parliament. Montenegro has only 220,000 in- oauitant., and a number of the smaller Uertcaii States would have to be added together before they equalled Wales; but, pitting these aside, there are several European kings with subjects not very greatiy in excess of the population 01 the Principality. Denmark has 2,130,100; Greece has about the same, 2,187,208; ana Servia has still less, 1,975,060. -Lim popular notion, there- fore, that Wales is too small for a Parliament entirely bUs to the ground, and the writer iu the Tiir.es affords one more example of the invincible ignorance which is shown by that journal in dealing with Weish subjects. A Welsh Parliament, if it is ever asked for, must be opposed for other reasons, of which, we have no wish to deuy, it is quite possible that many may be fouud but it will oe time euough to liuu them wheu a serious demand for Home Rule of this kiud arises in the principality." The writer uf the Welsh notes in the Liverpool Mercury thus expresses himself" The cry uf Howe Rule for Wales has for some time lJeen raised in public meetings, but hitherto no one had formulated a definite plan or echeme. This omission has been tilled by the vice-chairman of the Carnarvonshire County Council, who has drawn up a bill to grant Home Rule to the prin- cipality. The publication of this draft scheme has already led to considerable discussion, and although the Tory flouts at the idea of JE1 a day allowed to each member of the proposed provin- cial parliament, it must not be forgotten that payment or members is already one ot the planks of the Liberal programme. The ultimate result of the Home Rule agitation in Wales will depend on the alternatives offered to Wales when Home Rule is eiven to Ireland. If it be possible to devise a scheme which will give Ireland Home Rule and retain the Irish M.P.'8 at Westminliter,lt may well be that Welsh Home Rule will be indefinitely postponed. If, however, it be found that this is impossible without introducing a Federal Home Rule Bill, it will then be a matter of vital interest for Wales to decide whether she will join with England or elect to stand alone. The forward wiug of the Liberal army in Wales is strongly in favour of the latter alternative, and it cannot be denied that from the point of view of Welsh Liberalism much is to be said in favour of their view. Before Home Rule can be adopted as a practical reform in Wales, oue condition must first be fulfilled, and as yet this condition has not obtaiued the consideration which it deserves. Until the financial aspect of the question is fully and completely worked out, Welsh Home Rule cannot be said to be a real issue before the country. He will perform a meritorious service who will enter into the statistics of the problem and compare the counties of Wales with the counties of England iu population, rateable value, income tax, &c. Until this is done, and done carefully, it will be impossible to form an opinion as to the effects which Home Rule will have npon the prosperity of Wales. Will the proposed change lead to an increase or decrease of taxation in Wales 7 Will the burdens of Imperial taxation and the money exacted from the province of Wales for purposes of Imperial defence be such as to improve the position of the inhabitants of WalesThese are questions which must be fully answered before a serious politician can take up an attitude of approval or opposition towards Welsh Home Rale. In this, as in every other case, the burden of proof is on him who advocates a change. Let the champions of Welsh Home Rule grasp the problem, let them study and explain the financial issues involved, and, when this is done, they may confidently appeal to the verdict of their fellow-countrymen."

NEW LAWS IN FORCE. Additional statutes came into forco with the 1st of January—the Weights and Measures Act, 1889, the Factors' Act, 1889, and the Arbitration Act, 1889. The tormer amends in several par- ticulars the Weights and Measures Act of 1878, and other enactments regarding the sale of bread and coal. All weights and weighing machines are to be verified and stamped, and heavy penal- ties may be inflicted for iufringement of the law. The Board of Trade may, from time: to time, cause new denominations of standards for the measurement of electricity, temperature pressure, or gravities, as occasion may require tor trade purposes. Coal is to be sold by weight except by consent of tbe purchaser, and bakers must weigh bread, if desired by the buyer, before selling it. The Factors' Act deals almost entirely with property and commercial transactions, and is really a consolidation of previous Factors' Acts. Another act which comes into force is tho Com- missioners for Oaths Act, 1889, introduced by Lord Halsbury, to consolidate such statutes as were still in force at home or abroad relating I to the administration of oaths by commissioners, consuls, and other officers.

) FATAL MINING EXPLOSIONS IN 1889. It was generally expected that with the passing of the Mines Regulation Act which cama inte operation at the commencement 01 1853, and in which the most stringent precautions wad safe- guards were included for the prevention ot explosions, that such calamities wouid in future be all but impossible. This feeling tvns to a con- siderabla extent favoured by the mault of tht first year's working of the act, in which tbt number of lives lost by explosions "M only 49, against 149 in 1837 and 129 in 1886. Taking tbf ten years previous to 1888 the auaual avcrags of persons killed by mining explosions was 191, whilst, despite the increased stringency of tbe act of 1887, the Dumoe: of deaths last year from the cause named, 110 far as has beea ascertainable, was no less than 206. Still, it must be stated that, as in past years, the causes which led to most of the explosions ware really preventible, aud they will be ap- parent from the brief notice of thosecataetropbe8 which took place during the year which for all practical purposes may now be said- too -have all but closed. The first explosion of the year took place at the Hyde Colliery, Cb¡>"hire, on the 18b of January, causing a loss of 23 lives. Open lights and larntv, it appears, were used iu the mine. 00 the 28th of the same month four men were killed by an explosion at the Dean-lane Colliery, near Bristol, where naked lights were used, and where the person appointed for tile purpose had shortly bafore stated that he had examined tbe mine and found it free from gas. At another mine near Clanydd ia South Wales, on the 8h of March, two men were killed by the ignition of the gas, one of them having opened his lamp to obtain a better light. At the Brynmally Colhery. near to Wrexham, in North Wales, on the 13th of the same month, 20 persous were killed by an ex- plosion which took place at the extremity ot the workings, near to which there were after- wards found matches, pipes, and keys for open- ing safety lamps. The underlooker, it was stated, just before the catastrophe had examined the pit and found it free from gas. A few days afterwards a man was killed at the Dipton Colliery, near Nawcastie-or-Tyne, by a lamp he was carrying igniting the gas in an out-of-the-way place, and on the 24-"11 of March, at the Brancepeth Colliery, about a mile from Durham, four lives were lost by an explosion resulting from naked lights used by persons who were engaged in cleaning out and re-charging a coke-box. In the North Stafford- shire district, on the 17tb of August, threa men were killed at the Cbelli Colliery by an explosion. The cause of this may be inferred from the fact that the certificated manager, Mr Beswick, was summoned before the stipendiary magistrate at Tunstall, and fined £10 and costs for uegiectiug to attend to the ven- tilation on the day of the explosion, £10 and costs for allowing naked lights to be used on tha game occasion, aud £3 and coste for allowing dot the same time uurrutected Davy lamps to be used. A few days afterwards a man was killed at the Whitwood Colliery, near Nornuraton, whert lights were tolerated, and auother at tha Kirkintilloch Colliery, iu Edinburghshire, by similar means. On the 5 h of September a mobt serious explosion took place at the Maurice Wood pit, belouging to the Shotts Iron Company at Penicuik, Fifeshire, involving a loss of not less thau 64 lives. The probable cause has not yet been made known, if ascertained but it may be said that after tbe occurrence one of tha searching party brought to the surface a box of matches and pieces of tobacco. Following on this came the explosion at the Mossfieid Colliery, Hanley, on the 18th of Ot"ber, according to the official statement, 64 lives were lost some, however, put the loss at a higiier figure. All the bodies have not as yet been recovered, the total brought to the surface beiug 57. The last two on the 10th instant, so that the IJrobable caUS9S cannot well h9 entered into. An explosion took place on the 25ch of October at the Ashmore Colliery, South Staffordshire, killing ono man. 10 reference to this the manager, Mr JefEcoat, was summoned before the Wolver- hampton bench "f magistrates to answer five charges, which related to the allowing of naked lights, allowing shot firine without examination of place by a competent perou, Defendant Wi<" fined J61 upon each of the five charges, and ordered to defray the costs of the proceedings. At the Hepburn Colliery, near Newcastle-on-Tyne, where shot firing was carried on, an explosion took place ou the 4:h of November, resulting in the loss of six lives and on the same date a miner was killed by explosive Ras at the Mickle- bottle Colliery, Dumbartonshire- Iu the course of the same mouth three men were also killed by an explosion at the Westminster Colliery, near Wrexham, the men, it is stated, not having carried out the instructions given to them with respect to the gas. Four miners were killed by explosions in December, two at Stargate Colliery, Durham, in connection with shot-firing, and two on the 20ch inst., from a similar cause, in a tunnel near Grasmere. It is evident that if explosions are to ba sensibly reduced, if tbey cannot be entirely done away with, the above facts show that it will be necessary to cousider the question of naked lights. blaetioe, and shot- firing efficient ventilation, safety-lamps, and practical examinations of working plaut, by which the latter can be tested, for all that au examiner has now to do is to write a report in a honk whether the same is weli founded or not.— Liverpool Mercury.

MR GLADSTONE AND THE « GOSPEL OF WEALTH.' Two or three months ago (the Pall Mall ttt says) Mr Andrew Carnegie, the American mil- lionaire, contributed to the North American Review a remarkable article on the Duties of Wealth. The article attracted the attention of Mr Gladstone, at whose suggestion it was repnb- lished in this country. Last month Mr Carnegia followed up his first article with a second on tha same subject, and sent it to us for republication. In the former article, which we named at the time "The Gospel of Wealth," Mr Carnegie con- tended, as we understood him, that the accumu- lation of wealth in the bands of a few rich men tended to the greatest happiness of tha greatest number, because one rich rrao could spend £1,000 at greater advantage to the commonweal than 1,000 meu could spend £1 apiece. But thm opportu- nity in the hands of millionaires entailed on theui, Mr Carnegie went 00 to point out, a correspond- ing duty. "The man who died rich died," ha said, "disgraced." In his second article MI Carnegie descended from generals to particulars, and expounded in what ways tbe millionaire could to best advantage rid himself of his millions and thus avoid the disgrace of hoarded dollara and wasted opportunities. We sent this article to Mr Gladstone, whoso views on the subject we have now the privilege of laying before our readers:— Hawarden Castle, Itixaa Day, 1889. "Dear Sir,—I answer your letter promptly, for I think it an honour to be associated with Mr Carnegie in the noble purposes and doctrines of the 'Gospel of Wealth. I have, therefore, begun by reading his proof sheets, in violation of a rlll which I am obliged frequently aud ruthlessly ts apply to other quarters. "I follow Mr Carnegie in nearly everything that he affirms and recommendp. My main reser- vation is prompted by his language respecting the endowment of twenty millions (of dollars] granted with a splendid munificence to Stanford University. My mind is possessed with much misgiving, which rather grows than diminishes as years roll on, about the wholesale endowment of offices and places. The subject is much too large for present discussion. I may say. however, that there is a large field for university expenditure lying behind the scope of this remark. The remark itself I may illustrate by saying with reference to the large endowments of leavuing, or at least of placet and officeR with a view to learnin in this COUD- try, that I bear doubts whether it does not raise the market price of the higher education which it aims at lowering, aud which I suppose to be dearer in this country than perhaps in any other. I do not, however, go beyond this, that I cannot join in an affirmation quite so unqualified, on this particular poiut, as that of Mr Carnegie's article. I must add that the growing tendency to tha dissociation of universities, as such, from religion does not abate, but enhances, the force of all such considerations as have suggested my language of reserve. "I now come to an important addition, which I should like to attach to the Gospel of Wealth. I see no reason why, in the list of admissible and desirable objects for tbe dedication of funds we are not to include their direct dedication to the service and honour of God. The money spent in the ereotion of our cathedrals, and our great churches hardly inferior to cathedrals, has been large, and has in my judgment beea very well laid out. What I have said as to the endowment of offices and places has some application to the great province of religion. But, apart from this, and apart from marvellous and noble works such as the cathedrals, the institutions of religion, the works of devotion, learQing mercy^ aud utility, connected with it, are numerous and diversified. Religion is a giant with a hundred baads, whose strength, however, is not for rapine, but for use. I should wish to bring its claim, proportionate and therefore large, under the consideration of the open-handed and open-minded philanthropist. —I remain, your faithful and obedient, W. E. Gladstone."
