LOCAL SANITATION;
LOCAL SANITATION; IN our last issne we referred to the necessity of onr Commissioners taking prompt measures with the view of the adoption and the carry- iog out of the scheme of sea-front improve- ments, that was the subject of 80 tnnch talk and general comment last winter. Since the publication of that article the question has once more commenced to be discussed, a circumstance which induces us to believe that ¡ the few comments which we ottered upon it will have some effect in hastening the I appearance, before the Board and ratepayers, of the scheme of improvements in a definite and intelligible form. The matter has been discussed enough in the abstract; the time has now arrived for the consideration of the scheme proper, and ere many weeks are passed we hope to see the complete plans in the hands of the Commissioners, and some decision arrived at in regard to them. All visitors to our town agree that it possesses great natural attractions, but they one and all condemn the lamentable want of enterprise that is displayed by the local governing authority in the matter of providing what we may call attractions of an artificial character. Coupled with the necessity that undoubtedly exists for the effecting of extensive improve- ments on the sea-front, there is an almost imperative demand for a re-organization of the system under which the sanitation of the town is governed. We believe it is now three years ago since the Sanitary Committee undertook the ventilation, &c., of houses, and the work is not finished up to the present moment. It is true that this year, just on the threshold of the season, a spurt was made, and two or three glaring defects remedied but even to the most casual of observers it is palpable that there is much yet to be done. It is not oar desire to blame the Sanitary Committee in any. way for this delay; on the contrary, we believe they have done all they possibly could to hasten the completion of this work. The fault lies with the cumbrous system they have to deal with necessitating as itjloes the adoption of a most cirouitous course to obtain the least improvement. Hence the necessity for effecting some kind of re-arrangement of things. The initiative steps for this purpose ought to be taken by the Sanitary Committee, whose duty it is to prepare some well defined and carefully thought out scheme for the consideration of the Board. And why not commence to do so at once ? We are told that procrastination is. tbe thief of time," and upon reflection our readers will find that this is a truism which has been more than onoe verified in the action of our Commission- ers. We would point out that the present is a convenient time to do this. Praotically the town is without an inspector of nuisances; the Town Surveyor is supposed to be that functionary, but those acquainted with the duties Mr HUGHEs has to discharge in his capacity of surveyor must know that the time he is enabled to devote to his duties as ins- pector of nuisances is totally inadequate to allow of them being efficiently per- formed. Consequently they must devolve upon some irresponsible person, who cannot be made liable foi any hitah or dereliction of duty that may occur. Therefore we would suggest that if there is to be some re-arrange- ment in the officers that no more favourable opportunity for doing so can be obtained than the present. The importance of providing a cottage hos- pital is another point which requires im- mediate attention. For the acquisition of this we have strong grounds for pleading urgency. Rhyl, we admit, has hitherto enjoyed a remarkable immunity from infectious diseases of any kind, and in this respect will bear comparison with any watering place in the kingdom. But with so many visitors coming here daring the summer months there is almost dbre to be a certain amount of infection imported, and it is to the interest of the town, in addition to being a boonden duty towards the visitors that are attracted here, to provide measures to guard against the possibility of infectious cases so imported spreading and developing into an epidemic in our town. No more effioacious means of arrest- ing the spread of disease can be adopted than isolation, and to ensure this it is necessary that an hospital should be acquired. The I cost of providing such an institution cannot be I very great; but even though the outlay may be large, that should not be advanced as a reason egainst the supplying of thia present í wtfitf There may be s6 immediaite use! I. for it, and it is hoped there never will bo, but we shall have the satisfaction of knowing that as soon as a case of infectious disease is reported in the town, that we have the necessary provision for its effectual isolation and treatment. The CHAIRMAN of the Sanitary Committee, at the last monthly meeting of Commissioners, promised that his Committee would, with the close of the season, proceed to discuss this question of the acquisition of a cottage hospital. We look to him to fulfil that promise. As the recognised head of the sanitary depart- ment it is his duty to see that this matter, which has some time ago been voted an urgent one, should have the immediate attention of the Sanitary Committee, who, if possible, should present some preliminary report in regard to it, to the next monthly meeting of the Board. The necessity of adopting the provisions of the Notification of Infectious Diseases Act bag also been demonstrated beyond a doubt this season. There is not a town of any importance throngbout the kingdom that has refused to adopt it, and we believe that all the watering places on the North Wales Coast have readily and with but little besita. tion placed themselves under its provisions. The advantages conferred by the Act are so apparent that we are arazed that there should have been any relnetar-ce on the part of our Commissioners to adopt it. Were those advan %ges accompanied with the slightest possible disadvantages, restrictions or conditions likely to be felt by the general community, we could understand the position of those who opposed the adoption of the Act, but in the absence of any such reasons, the attitude assumed by those who took op a position antagonistic to the ad- option of the Act is perfectly inexplicable. It has been in operation at Llandudno for ten years, under the powers conferred by a special Act, and all health resorts hailed the Act as a ready way of bringing themselves under the protection of so beneficial a Measure. Were it not for the constant vigil the Medical Officer keeps upon the health of the town, the consequences this season might have proved disastrous, The town was within an ace of being ruined and having its reputation blasted for several years. We know from personal knowledge that the town is indebted to Dr ÐtrToN LLOYD for much, and especially for the prompt and discreet way he deals with cases of infection when brought under his notice, but unless he is provided with proper means of preventing their spreading it will not be a source of much surprise if we find the town one year in the throes of an epidemic.
DO RHYL MINISTERS DO THEIR…
DO RHYL MINISTERS DO THEIR DUTY ? [BY A LAYMAN.] I read with amazement the revelations, contained in your article last week on the Collapbe of the Tory Club." To say that they came as a surprise would hardly be correct, for ever since you first began to attack this now defunct institution the air has been full of rumours and reports as to tLe manner in which the club was conducted. But 1 was hardly prepared to see published in so distinct and specific a form charges and allegations of so startling and grave a char- acter. Many, no doubt, like myself, were at first inclined to criticise adversely the position you assumed in regard to the Conservative I Club, and were ungenerous enough to attribute your motives in so severely attacking it to partisanship, and envy at the apparent prosperous condition of a rival political club. Your article last week, however, convinces me of my error, and compels me to admit that your position has been more than justi- fied. You have rendered inestimable service to the cause of religion and sobriety by your timely exposure; and persons who, like myself, hold these qualities in higher regard than creed or party considerations rejoice with you at the removal of an institution that has created such sad havoc in the moral condition of our town. My object in penning these few Mnes is to commend to ministers, both Nonconformists and Conf01 mists, the stand you have taken in exposing drunkeness and immorality, and to express a hope they will find in it a lesson which will prompt them to work more actively for the removal of evils such as vou have been denouncing during the last three years. I confess that one of the chief reasons which caused me to be at first somewhat sceptical to the truth of your statements was the silence of the ministers on the subject. One would have thought that with the publicity of charges of such grave enormity, there would have been a combined action on their part to denounce and agitate against a repetition of 4ach offences; and in the absence of any such manifestation on their part it occurred to me that they must have made some private inquiry into the matter, and been satisfied that there was no shadow of foundation for the charges. Clearly, such has not been the case, and our ministers therefore are guilty of displaying a wanton disregard for the social and moral welfare of the town. The one great aim, as I understand it, of the followers of Our Saviour should be to expose shams and denounce immorality. But latter day ministers appear to have a peedtiar idea of Ibe manner in which this is to be accomp- lished. We find them ever ready to take a leading part in matters having a tendency to bring them into prominenoe, but in that quiet work of the christian minister, which was the distinguishing feature of their ancestors, they no longer take the part they should; no, there is not sufficient reflected glory about it; there is no applause to be gained by it. Consequently we find them spending all their time in their studies pre- paring elaborate speeches and homilies to be discoursed at pllbho meetings and pulpits. I have seen some of them who will jump on a platform at a public meeting, and talk on subjects they know absolutely nothing about. They dabble in politics, and enter into local controversies with extraordinary zeal and enthusiasm, but are sublimely indifferent to the morality of the town and well-being of the community. Festering dens for drunk- eness and vice are permitted to flourish amongst us without a word of protest from our religious censors. Possibly they may be able to adduce some explanation for their non- interference, but to me, a layman, it is passing strange they should leave to a secular paper the exposing of such gross immorality, drunkeness, and lawlessness, as I read in your issue last week. I ask, has a single preacher during the last three years raised his voice in warning against the veritable hells that are said to have existed amongst us, or did lately exist in the town ? Have they, as a body, moved one step towards raising the drunkard, who day after day was being ¡ driven nearer his doom through there being r allowed to exist in our midst so fearul a place as the Conservative Club ? Do they go to the highways and hedges to seek the wanderer, and bid him welcome to the fold; or do they, like the Levite of old, pass him on the other side ? I fear there is vary j .1 little of the good Samaritin in our religious teachers; there is too much respectability about them for that. Oh no, they are too inflated with the idea that they are some- body to mix with the life that is going around them; their mission is to occupy the pulpit twice every Sunday, and having done that, and gained the compliment of having delivered a couple of excellent sermons, they return to their homes well satisfied with themselves, and deep in the conviction when pay day arrives that their salary has been well earned. I hear that the ministers of religion in Rhyl have, during the winter months, a monthly meeting, a kind of Trades Union Conference, where, as I am told, they discuss matters appertaining to their own interests. That, I should imagine, is hardly a conference calculated to promote and advance the king- dom of their Master. I will allow that like the rest of tbe people of this world, the' God Mamon must enter into some share of the worship of even Christian ministers, but care should be taken that he does not absorb too great a share of it. Once a manth appears to me to be an extravagant waste of time on number one," and to indulge in a nice social chat. Would not a greater amount of practical good be accomplished if the ministers, once a month, invited their church officers to meet them, thereby allowing of an opportunity of being told how woefully some of them neglect their duty. Would that there could be some combination of this kind organised, a militant body that would expose the machinations of the evil dis- posed, and remove the sources of temptation that beset the youth of the town.
-\PRESTATYN.
PRESTATYN. FOEEIGN Miissiioifs.-On Thursday evening last a public meeting was held at the English Wesleyan Chapel to advocate the claims of the Wesleyan Foreign Missions. There was a fair attendance, many of the Rhyl friends being present. Mr J. Y. Strachan (the circuit treasurer) presided, and was supported by the Revs. John Judge, W. O. Evans, A. C. Chambers, J. W. Townsend, &c. The report was read by Mr Judge, which showed that the Rhvl circuit had collected nearly jE30, being an increase on the previous year. Capital addresses, full of hope and encouragement, were delivered by the Chairman, Revs. J. Judge, W. O. Evans, J. W. Townsend, and A. C. Chambers. After a collection had been made, which was an increase on last year, a vote of thanks to the chairman and speakers brought one of the best missionarv meetings to a close.

[ ADVERTISEMENT. ] TO THE RATEPAYERS OF RHYL. LADIES & GENTLEMEN,—Now that the election of a Guardian is over (although I am the unsuccessful candidate), I consider it my duty to explain that I have not canvassed for a single vote, and thit I have not in any way interfered with -any literate or illiterate voter, nor illiterate voter's voting paper, and would not engage a canvasser to canvass any literate or illiterate voter, under the present system of electing guardians, in my favour. I do not believe-as voting papers are delivered to all ratepayers (or supposed to be delivered)—that a candidate or candidates, paid or unpaid canvassers, should interfere or bring any outside influence in Any way whatsoever upon any male or female voter. Surely every ratepayer should be able to judge for himself. All illiterate voters should appear before a sworn officer to record their votes. The present system of voting for Guardians should be done away with, and the voting (in my humble opiuion) should be by ballot, pare and simple and why not ? In the district of Rhyl, we know that there are scores, if not hundreds, of illiterate voters and their voting pipers open to be tampered with by a Chapeiman, Churchman, Tory or Radical, or any Jack, iom or Harry. I ask, is there any common sense in such a system to carry out an election, and to expect to have the true voice of the ratepayers at any election?» I do not wonder at all at the state of the poll, when I have not made any canvass myself, and my friend Mr E. P. Jones and his staff of paid or uupaid canvassers have worked so hard against my election. After all, I do hope Mr Jones will make a goed Guardian, by attending all Board meetings, and especially attending everySaturday at the pay station to meet the relieving officer and the pjor of the district, as every Guardian worthy of the name have considered it their duty to attend, so as to be well versed with what is right and proper to be done between the ratepayer and the poor receiver. I beg to thank the 25J voters who recorded their genuine votes in my favour; also I do thank those who intended to vote for me, and would have done so on Thursday, the 18th inst., if their voting papers had not been taken from them during the said day. Wishing the successful candidate suc- oess, in my humble way, JAMBS DAVIES, Gwynfa Villa, Rhyl. L

raw inventions nave conferred a grebter blessing on the human race than that which assists impaired vision, says a contemporary. Dr. Johnson rightly expressed his surprise that such a benefactor as the discoverer of spectacles should have been re- farded with indifference, and found no worthy iograpber to celebrate his ingenuity. Unfortu- nately, his name is a matter of much uncertainty, but popular opinion has long ago pronounced in favour of a Florentine monk as the rightful claimant, although some are in favour of Roger Bacon. M. Spoon, in his 1 11 Researches Curicuses d'Antiquite," ifxes the date of the invention or dis- covery of spectacles between the years 1280 and 1311, and says that Alexandre de Spina, having seen a pair made by some other person who was un- willing to communicate the secret of their construc- tion, ordered a pair, discovered the secret, and forthwith made it public.

There ar* many substitutes for gold, So the expense need Db8 deter parents from saving their children from that torture of the toothache. Moreover, an eminent physician has said that two-thirds of the disease which prey upon children from 5 to 12 years, and often longer, are the direct result of defective teeth,, and, could be prevented by having the teeth filled M eoon as they begin to decay. MENDING NOT FATCHIW. The conscientious mender will do no haphazard patching, she will be sure the patch is the right way of the cloth, and if figured or plaided will match; the figures carefully. The holes in the stockings will! not be drawn up in a bunch, but will be neatly darned or patched. It is well to buy stockings, of the same kind and colour each time, in order that the old ones may be used in repairing, and in tba case of children's stockings that wear out so rapidly on knees and heels, to line places,. while new, with pieces of the same. In this way they will wear much longer, and when 3 hole i. finally worn through there is the pitlch already applied, and it is necessary only to cut it out So little, perhaps, and hem down the edges. The old- time method of mending stocking-* 11 dmits only of darning. This is the best way tor the eld time hand-knit stocking, but for the fine, boughten hose it is seldom that yarn of the right si/e and colour can be procured. It is well. also, to have a uniform, material for aprons and other garments, or at least have two or three alike. The better parts of the one that wears out first may be used for repairing the others, and will be better lor that purpose than new cloth, which, not iad»>d, Miews its new- ness and makes a conspicuous patch. Thread, which is suitable in colour and si ¡ f' should be selected before mending as for making. PLANTS FOR SUNNY WINDOWS. There appears to be a certain limit in regard the filling of boxes on outside sills, and beyond that window gardeners do not, as a rule, care to step. Year after year they adopt the orthodox method, and cling tenaciously to the tHe of geraniums, fuchsias, creeping jenny, marguerites, kc. A little change may be made now and then, but perhaps, if judiciously arranged, the ordinary subjects make as good a display as any- thing, and, therefore, amateurs may be pardoned for not wandering from the well-worn rut. A capital arrangement, that may be copied with advantage, has for the principal plants white marguerites, blue lobelia, scarlet zonal geraniums, tropeeolums, and ivy-leaved geraniums. Care, of course, must be taken in arranging the plants, or the best results are not likely to accrue. For instance, the tall-growing subjects, such as fuchsias, marguerites, and zonal geraniums, look best when planted at the back, and the ivy- leaved geraniums, tropteohims. and lobelia in front, so that they may droop, and thus, when growth is completed, hide the box. Creeping Jenny is another good subject for planting in front of the boxes, and so is the canary creeper. X" matter how arranged, however, overcrowding must be avoided. All the foregoing plants will be found suitable for window boxes that are situated on a sunny aspect, and which faces south, east, or west.—Amateur Gardening, aT IN DUSTING. It makes one feel pleasant at once to go into a cheerful, tidy room. No matter what the furniture is, no matter if the carpet is old and faded, if the room is nicely dusted, and the air fresh, it makes one feel good. First and last, a large, soft cloth is necessary in dusting. Begin in one corner and work all round to where you began, taking every chair, table, picture and all woodwork in the path. The windows should be wiped off also. It is not necessary to sweep before dusting, but we should dust every day. The windows should be opened every day, and fresh air allowed to just fill the room. While dusting it i? very easy to put chairs in their proper places, pin tidies straight, put the books in order, wipe off the tablespreaa and shakEt the rugs. The whole will not take more than five or 110 minutes, and the result well repays one for the slight trouble and exertion. If cloth furniture is wiped off with a slightly dampened cloth it wilj be much freshened thereby. There is a lot of dust on furniture that one would not notice. Everything should be wiped off just the same as though we could see the dust thick. Because we can't see, it is no reason it is not there. Besides all this, the dust can be amelled, and it fills one's lungs by being breathed, and in the end is very bad. A child can be taught to dust well, and it is quite a help to a. mother to have the sitting-room or parlour attended to each day, and not having to think of it herself. I once heard a lady say of a little girl, She is the best duster I ever saw." So I noticed one day, and soon knew the reason. She went over everything bt the room and left nothing. RENOVATING BLACK SILKS. Plain black silks may be "renovaJed." in making over old dresses, in various ways. A very simple way is to lay the silk flat on the table; wipe the surface with a woollen cloth to remove the dust; then boil an old pair of black gloves in a quart of water, let it cool, and with the liquid wash the sijk by using a soft sponge; while still wet turn the silk over, first spreading an ironing- cloth underneath, and with a flatiron, as hot as can be used without scorching, iron it on the wrong side. Coloured silks may be renovated in this way by boiling a pair of gloves of the same colour in the water. For common black silks or ribbons, in cases where the matter is less important, a mixture of equal parts of strong tea and vinegar, make very good washing liquid; the silk in this case should be ironed on the wrong side before it is quite dry. To clean silks that are very much soiled, take potato. wash and peel them, grate them to a fine pulp, aQd a pint of water to a pound of pulp, and strain through a coarse sieve. This makes a very good potato starch, which settles to the bottom. Then pour off the clear, mucilaginous liquor, which is the best article known for cleaning silks. Put a linen sheet on the table, spread the silk OD. this, and with a sponge dipped in the potato liquor give it a thorough washing; then rinse once or twice in clear water;, after this, iron as above. For common use in a small way, without waiting, potatoes peeled may be used by cutting off the end and rubbing flat surface on the silk, repeating the slicing to secure a fresh surface. If the silk is covered with grease spots take two ounces of spirits of wine, one ounce of French chalk, and five ounces of pipeclay powdered fine. Make this into a paste and roll into a stick and let it dry. Then moisten the grease spot or the end of the stick and rub it on the silk. brushing it off occasionally until the grease is all removed. This may be done before the whole fabric is cleaned by the process abova described. NICE DISHES. RoAST DTJCK.—A "wrinkle" with regard to duck roasted in the ordinary fashion with sage and onion stuffing is to finish it, when it is on the table, by scoring it deeply with the carving-knife and scatter- ing into the furrows so formed salt and white or black pepper, then pouring over it a glass or two of Burgundy, previously warmed; not heated, so thatl it may not chill the duck. Baste the bird for a few moments with the wine, and then cover it up, to that the seasoning may soak in for a minute or two. If the process is novel, the result will be a revelation. RICH CBKAM.—Mix a large tablespoonful of ground rice very smoothly with a little milk, and add more milk to make the quantity up to half a pint. Pour the mixture into a saucepan with the yellow part of half a lemon rubbed upon sugar, loz. isinglass or gelatine, and a little piece of butter. Let this boil gently for five minutes, stirring it all the time. Pour it out, and when almost cold stir into it a quarter of a pint of thick cream. Beat the preparation until it begins to stiffen; pour iti into a mould and put it in a cool place to set. Serve with fresh fruit. BEEF JUICE.—To obtain only the juice of the beef. cut in small pieces, put it in a glass self-sealing jar, and place it in a. kettle of cold water with a. saucer or plate in the bottom to prevent the jar from breaking. Let it heat gradually, and cook until the juice is well extracted from the meat, but do not attempt to take the jar from the water while it is still hot, else the jar will likely be broken, and the time spent will be for naught. A little water can be put in with the meat, but of course the extract will not be as strong. A very good way for immediate use is to get a. nice, thick, juicy steak; broil it for a. moment or two only on each side over charcoal, sufficiently to heat it through, Then with a meat squeezer (a very good article to have in the house for the use of invalids), held over a bowl set in hot water, press out all the juica possible. Salt it slightly and give to the patient at once, or have a piece of bread toasted very carefully and evenly and free from crust, and pour over it the juice of the meat, covering it with a. hot plate to prevent its cooling. Lukewarm dishes of any kind are not agreeable either to the sick or to the well. SHBIHP SALAD.—One pint of lettuce and one iupful of chopped celery; season with salt, pepper, vinegar and a, little melted butter; to one can of shrimps add French dressing; lay lettuce leaves in a dish, and place the chopped celery and lettuce on them and the shrimps on top; sprinkle over the whole a few capers before serving. COTTAGB PUDDING.—One cup of sugar, one table* spoonful of butter, two eggs, one cup of sweet milk, three cups of flour, or enough to make toler- ably stiff batter, one half-teaspoonful of soda, ono teaspoonful of cream of tartar sifted with the flour, one teaspoonful of salt. Rub the butter and sugac together, beat in the yolks, then the milk and soda* the salt and the beaten whites, alternately with th4 flour. Bake in a buttersd mould; turn out upon ft dish; eut in slices aad
