COLUMN FOR CHILDREN.
COLUMN FOR CHILDREN. A MESSAGE FROM OVER THE SEA. We have heard of pigeons as letter carriers, and read in the column of a stork which acted as postman but what do you think of an albatross in the same character ? It is a tragic story, but you shall hear it. A French ship was wrecked off some barren rocky isles, called the Crozet Islands, far out of the track of vessels, and in the midst of the Indian Ocean. The crew succeeded in landing on the desolate coast, but they had no means of communicating with the world, and they were given up as lost. In the September of the following year an albatross was picked up on the coast of South Australia, 2,000 miles from the Crozets, having round its neck a piece of tin, on which were scrawled in French the words: Thirteen shipwrecked men have taken refuge on the Crozet Islands." A cablegram was at once sent to France, and both English and French Governments immedi- ately sent out vessels in search. Sailing straight to the Crozets, they touched first at a little island called Coshou, where were dis- covered traces of camp fires and other signs of human habitation but, instead of the unfor- tunate sailors, a heap of stones piled up in a cairn, on the top of which was secured a sheet of paper bearing this message The ship Tamaris, of Bordeaux, with thirteen in the crew, went of Bordeaux, with thirteen in the crew, went ashore on this island during a heavy fog. Some time afterwards she got clear and floated off, but three hours later filled and sank. The crew escaped in two small boats, taking with them 100 kilograms of biscuits. They lived on Coshou for nine months, and their food being now exhausted are about to sail for Possession Island.—Sept. 30 18- This was just eight days after the bird's message had set two nations to the work of rescue, and had they only known this the men might probably have existed for a few weeks longer on the eggs and fish their rock supplied, and been saved. But it is supposed they perished in the perilous attempt to sail 80 miles to Possession, for diligent search in all the islands of the group revealed no further traces of any man's presence. JACK'S ANGEL. One can imagine what company in their loneli- ness these poor sailors may have found in the albatrosses, and with what hopes they must have fastened the message about their messenger's neck; for at sea this magnificent bird is ever a good omen with Jack, as it flies with the ship on its powerful wings for six or eight hundred miles, never seeming to tire, hardly ever resting, now darting past the vessel, now pausing tul she comes up, and then veering about and around her, as if to see that all is well; and so weird and faithful appears to be the watch and ward it thus holds through storm and tempest that it seems to the sailor like a guardian angel given commission from heaven to guide and keep the ship. Some day you will read, if you have not done so already, Coleridge's wonderful poem "The Ancient Mariner." which tells how one of these birds following a vessal is wantonly shot by the mariner, and how for this crime a curse descends upon the voyagers, and they are becalmed day after day in the midst of a motionless ocean, under a torrid sun how the albatross's dead body is fastened about the man's neck as penance for his guilt, and he lives on in a terrible delirium after the death of all his shipmates, until at last, one day, as he watches the living creatures of the sea, a spring of love for them gushes from his heart, he breaks forth into blessings upon them for their life and their beauty, and in that same hour is able to utter the long- choked prayer, and his ghastly burden falls from him into the waves, leaving to him the lesson- when he has finally expiated his sin- He prayeth well who loveth well Both man and bird and beast; He prayeth best who loveth best All creatures great and small, For the dear God that loveth us He made and loveth all. HOW TO BE FASCINATING. One of tne daily newspapers contains a piece which seems so evidently intended to advance the principles of the Round Table Order, that I must copy it into our column. Here it is:— Doubtless thousands of young people, and not a small number of old ones, wish every day of their lives that they could learn the secret of fascinating others by means of graceful, charming manners. The secret is an open one. It is so easy to learn that it lies all neglected by the Wayside, while they who would give greatest treasure to find it pass unknowing It is only this:-Fill your heart with goodwill to everybody, and then practise at all times the best manners you know, particularly at home. If you begin at home, this charming manner will, so to speak, get settled on you and never leave you. Be just as polite to your brother and your sister as you would to your friend. Strive to gain the goodwill of father, mother, sisters, exactly as you strive to gain goodwill abroad. There is no place for practising manners like the home circle no place where they will be so well appreciated. Treat the people at home as if they were worthy of as much consideration as though they were the Queen and her family. Then from the home will float out those sweet influences which will draw the hearts of mankind towards you." A HOME ART. Those are the fascinating manners which our members mean to practise as part of their vow of courtesy, are they not ? For company man- ners are no good; you cannot put agreeable ways on and take them off like gloves, and if you think ysu can be rude and disagreeable at home and polite and charming to visitors and the outside world, you are sure to be caught in your true char- acter some day by the persons you most wish to impress. And serve you right, too Real good manners must be founded on unselfishness and spring from a sincere wish for the comfort and pleasure of other people. They are the kind which the wise old Bishop, William of Wykeham, meant when he said Manners maketh man "—a saying which has been for more than 500 years the motto of the great college he founded. They make the man, and they tell the gentleman, in whatever rank of life he may move. The girl and boy whe go through life with their elbows turned out, fighting for themselves and shoving everyone else, careless how they may annoy, in- convenience, and trouble others, can never truthfully be called a lady and a gentleman though they may have money, or rank, or long pedigree. Neither can those who put on evlr such pretty manners abroad but are disobliging and sulky at home. For courtesy begins where charity does, being indeed but one expression of that greatest of virtues, love, which St. Paul tells envieth not, vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, seeketh not its own, is not easily provoked." SUPPOSING. The verses we had a few weeks ago about things possible and impossible seem to have taken the fancy of Kt. Henry Charles Taylor, and he sends us some funny rhymes which he has written, and which he heads Supposing." I have not room to quote quite all of them, but I think they will amuse you, Suppose the world did not go round, And stars and things stood still, Suppose you could hear every sound, Would it make you ill ? Suppose all people were alike, How sickening it would be! And suppose all animals were tame, Where would the Wild Show be? Suppose your life was one long day Instead of nights between, And supposing everything you saw Did look the colour green. Suppose the sea did not come in, Nor ever did go out, And suppose the waves they did not move Nor even toss about. Suppose that people went for rides In queer Sedan chairs still, I should think they would get out and walk When they went up a hill. Suppose that fashions did not change, And no one could agree That black was white and white was black, What a funny world 'twould be. YESTERDAY lAND TO-MORROW. There would be no end to our supposings if we were all to frame in our fancy a world of con- traries but carriages not very unlike old Sedan chairs are used to-day in Japan, and have been recommended for use in other countries. They are called jinrickshas, and are light covered chairs carried by men, who run so fast that I don't think the traveller by them ever wants to fet out when going up a hill. Very likely the earers wish he would; and so, no doubt, wishes many a tired cab and omnibus horse, as he hauls his load of passengers uo hill. It may be that in the course of time people will look back upon our 'buses and hansoms with as much wonder as we survey the picturesque old Sedan chair of the last century. That will be, of course, when the motor cars and cabs have become universal, and when no longer it is anything strange to see a brake or cab running along the street without any animal to draw it. Already some of the new electric cabs are whizzing about London as if quite at home there. But it will be a long time before horses go out of fashion, in spite of motors and bicycles, though it will be a happy day for them when from hard labour in city streets they are superseded by machines with no sensitive skins and nerves, no aching legs and backs. English people will scarcely be English people if they do not love to have horses to ride and drive for pleasure, but wouldn't it be a good thing if they could and would make it the horses' pleasure too, by keeping him away from hard roadways on wnich he constantly slips and falls, by lessening his burdens, and by abolishing the bearing-rein, and the wicked folly of tail-docking ? THE QUEEN'S NEEDLE. I do not know whether the Round Table has any members at Redditch, where nearly every one of the needles used by all the girls and women in our land are made. If so, perhaps they have been over the needle works and can tell us something of the way in which the steel wire is rolled out, cut, and sharpened into a delicate point at one end and punctured with an eye at the other end. Before the days of steel needles they were made of bone, as those of savage peoples are to-day. But once a needle was made of a daintier material than even the finest of gold wire. It was when the Queen of Roumania was on a visit to England, and in the course of her travels visited a needle factory. She watched the men at work with great interest, and one of them surprised her by oegging for one hair from her Majesty's head. She gave it with a smile. The man placed it under the machine he was using, which bored a hole through this most delicate of fibres, and then threading it with the finest of silk threads he presented the novel needle to the Queen.
' WELSH BIBLE REVISION.
WELSH BIBLE REVISION. f CORRESPONDENCE. TO THE EDITOR. WELSH BIBLE REVISION. TO THE EDITOR. SIR,—Some 20 years ago, more or less, a letter appeared in your columns over the undersigned initials calling attention to the need of revising the Welsh Bible, and to the fact that the Welsh have always had to wait many years after their English friends for any improvements in this respect. The English Bible was undergoing revision at the time that has appeared long ago —the N.T. in 1881, the O.T. in 1885—but what during these 20 years has been done towards securing a revised Welsh Bible ? It is quite possible-I think probable-that the promoters of the English revision would readily take up that of the Welsh if they felt there was a general desire for it. It is certainly full time that some stir should be made now. Nobody, I should say, would dispute the desirability of having as correct a version of the Scriptures as is possible, and it is well known there is a great discrepancy between the present Welsh and the English j revised version. Dr. Morgan and Dr. Parry did their work marvellously well according to the J material they had then in hand, but they could j not work impossibilities. In a recent leader you j ask, Who will speak up and speak out for the j right and the true ?" and you promise to back up f such. It is what we want in every direction- c political, social, religious-but how are we to be spurred on to a proper sense of our duty ?—I am, &c., T. C. U. |
CHAPLAINCY TO NEATH WORKHOUSE.
CHAPLAINCY TO NEATH WORKHOUSE. TO THE EDITOR. j SIR,—In reading the report of the proceedings of the meeting held on Tuesday of the above board, I find that a vote of condolence with the family of the late Archdeacon Griffiths was passed. With such a resolution I am sure every Welshman and Nonconformist will heartily agree. But with the remainder of the proceedings I could hardly believe my own eyes, and that is that the board, by the casting-vote of the chair- man, decided to advertise for a chaplain to officiate to the poor of the workhouse. If it was a fact that all the inmates were connected with the Church of England there would be some amount of reason in the decision, but when it is known that inmates of workhouses are more or less connected with every religious body, I should say that guardians of the poor ought to see that the religious adminis- tration on their sick and death beds be performed by a minister that they have most confidence in. It was suggested by the Rev. J. Edwards that the religious services might be conducted gratuitously by the clergy and ministers of the various deno- minations—a very wise suggestion. If I were a ratepayer and a Nonconformist in the Neath Union I should very strongly oppose the action of the board. Are the Neath Guardians suffering from the reactionary tendency of the present Government at St. Stephen's ? I trust that wiser counsels will prevail at their next board meeting. I might say that the Merthyr Guardians have no chaplain. On Sunday mornings the Church of England clergy officiate, and in the afternoon the Nonconformist ministers in turns and the Roman Catholic clergy also officiate to the Catholic section.—I am, &c., DAVID DAVIES. Merthyr, Sept. 16th, 1897.
TINPLATERS AND CANADIAN INDUSTRIES.
TINPLATERS AND CANADIAN INDUSTRIES. TO THE EDITOR. Snt, Referring to a suggestion in your admirable article in to-day's issue on "Tinplaters and the Board of Trade," I would point out that I in the years 1893 and 1894 the total money value of the fisheries of Canada amounted to $41,406,234, and I believe I am correct in saying that out of that total, only a little over $5,000,000 worth was preserved in cans. It is possible investigation herein, among the many industries now only in their infancy in the Dominion of Canada, might prove advantageous to the tin- platers of this country.—I am, &e., WM. A. GRIFFITH. Dominion Government Agent in Wales. 10, The Walk, Cardiff, Sept. 16.

A BED ON THE RAILINGS.
A BED ON THE RAILINGS. At Bow-street Police Court on Wednesday A. Oliver Robinson, a young fellow living in Queen's- square, was charged with being drunk and incapable. The case was an extraordinary one. At 11 o'clock on Tuesday a police-constable was on duty in New Oxford-street, when he heard someone snoring in Charlotte Mews. He found the prisoner lying on some sharp spikes on a railing at the bottom of the mews. He was sleeping soundly, although one of the spikes had penetrated his trousers. The policeman aroused him, but he had to obtain the assistance of two men to release the prisoner from his peculiar position. Prisoner now said he had not the slightest idea how he got on the top of railings. In fact, he was never more surprised m his life than he was when he found himself there. (Laughter. Sir John Bridge We have all heard of men who under certain circumstances, embrace lamp-posts —(laughter)—but this is the first time I have known a man to sleep on spikes. He must have been very mixed indeed if he mistook spikes for a feather bed. (Loud laughter.) You must pay a fine of 5a.
A MASSAGE MACHINE.
A MASSAGE MACHINE. Professional masseurs must beware (says the Daily Telegraph) lest they wake up some morn- ing to find their occupation gone. It would seem that there has already been imported hither from the Continent a massage machine which will render the services of an assistant unnecessary. The apparatus is described as consisting of a series of twelve pairs of polished hardwood balls arranged upon a jointed chain, with a handle at each end. It is 32in. long (the balls covering a length of 22in.) and can, according to the state- ment of the inventor, be applied to any part of the body by oneself. For example, in a case of lumbago or stiffness of the shoulder muscles, the chain can be used by the sufferer quite effectually, and without any uncomfortable straining while it is declared to be fully equal to digital massage, as it produces even kneading of the muscular part, and a gentle flow of heat, which indicates that the circulation is considerably stimulated.
THE DANGERS OF " SCORCHING."
THE DANGERS OF SCORCHING." Lady Harris was present at a bicycle gymkhana at Rochester on Wednesday. Inl presenting the prizes to the successful competitors her lady- ship uttered a word of warning which cyclists will do well to observe. She was as fond of cycling as her husband was of cricket, because it had done more to promote the health and pleasure of the people of this country than anything else in the nineteenth century. While she heartily com- mended it on that ground, she wanted cyclists to help her to stop scorching and to insist upon all cyclists having brakes. Both scorching and riding without brakes were dangerous to the whole community.

,SWANSEA TRADE REPORT.
SWANSEA TRADE REPORT. SWANSEA, Thursday.—A busy week has been experienced at the docks, and an increase of 10,000 tons is shown as compared with the same week last year. The arrivals in the week were on a large scale, and the coal and fuel trades were particularly brisk, shipments of the latter being upwards of 10,000 tons. A marked improvement is displayed in the shipments of coal for Sweden, Holland, Germany, Italy, and South Africa. The fuel exports comprise-for France, 1,980 tons; Spain, 1,900 tons; Italy, 2,900 tons; Turkey, 2,045 tons and Algeria, 1,650 tons. The import trade continues in a highly satisfactory condition. The receipts of iron and steel from coasting ports amount to 4,000 tons, and the arrivals foreign include—from France, pitwood Spain, iron ore, copper ore, precipitate, and matte; Faro, timber; Newfoundland, copper ore and New York, general cargo. Entries of shipping in ballast amount to 32,552 tons, as against 19,236 tons the previous week, and 26,629 tons the corerrponding week. Imports 15,803 tons, and exports foreign 45,462 tons, compared with 16,231 tons, and 35,885 tons respectively last year. Shipments of coal foreign 32,732 tons, patent fuel 10,475 tons, and tinplates and general goods 2,255 tons, the latter including for France, 300 tons Germany, 750 tons; Sweden, 65 tons; Russia (bricks), 700 tons; and New York, 440 tons. The shipments of tinplates at this port last month were 15,241 tons, compared with 11,355 tons in August last year, an increase of 3,886 tons, or 34 per cent., notwithstanding a loss of 3,121 tons in the quantity for the United States.

NORTH OF ENGLAND IRON AND…
NORTH OF ENGLAND IRON AND COAL TRADES. MIDDLESBBOUGH, Thursday.—The condition of the pig metal trade has not improved since Tuesday's market. Matters, in fact, have been rather going the other way, as warrants have been less firm on the whole, and the general conditions are somewhat unfavourable on account of the engineers' strike stopping more shipyards, and thus reducing* consumption in steel and other productions. This indirectly tells against the pig metal trade. Buying is, therefore, restricted. especially as shipments have moderated a good deal this month, as much, however, it is stated, from want of available ships for delivering it abroad as from other causes. Matters will, it is expected, improve before the month is out, and there should be on the whole a fair delivery, j it is maintained, over the autumn season. Con- j nal's warrant stock, as reported early in the ;| week, has shown a tendency lately to increase, j there being an addition this month of 156 tons, J shipments being for the month to date 48,100 j tons. The quotation for No. 3 is about 41s 6d with sellers, buyers offering 3d less. Makers are firm, however, and some who are well sold ask still more. No. 4 forge is 39s 9d No. 4 foundry, 40s 6d to 40s 9d mottled and white, 39s 3d. le Hematite has been quiet as a whole, the demand for this class of iron being lessoned on account of the engineers' strike. Mixed numbers are quoted at 48s 6d to 48s 9d. Cleveland warrants were last night and early this morning 41s 2d buyers. The visit of the Associated Chambers of Commerce to Middlesbrough has no doubt dis- tracted people's attention from business in some degree. The visitors have been very heartily re- ceived ou Teesside. At the Hartlepools, and in some other parts of the district, shipbuilders have given notiee to stop their works, and this will minimise the demand for steel and other productions. Manufactured iron, however, seems to be going off very fairly. There is no change in the rates, common iron bars being X5 5s best bars, £ 6 15s iron ship plates, £ 5 2s 6d; iron angles, £ 5; steel ditto, £ 5 2s 5d; steel ship plates, Y,5, all less 2i. per cent. Steel rails remain at about £4 10sinett. The coal trade has been steady as a whole, but steam qualities have not gone off so freely as was the case some time back. Prices, however, have been fairly maintained, at about 8s 6d per ton for best qualities, and 3s 6d to 3s 9d for small f.o.b. The chief demard just now is for gas coals, and prices have stiffened in consequence. For early delivery Ss to 8s 3d for the best kinds is obtained, but 7s 6d to 7s 9d is the quotation over a period. There is a steady requirement for bunkers at about 7s 3d to 7s 6d for unscreened. Manufacturing coals are dull, as less is taken up at the shipyards and other works. Households are in fair request. As regards coke there is not much change in the price. There is more upon the market than was the case some weeks back, as a smaller requirement appears for shipment. Blast furnace coke is about 13s 3d delivered at Middlesbrough.
BIRMINGHAM IRON TRADE. i
BIRMINGHAM IRON TRADE. BIRMINGHAM, Thursday.—A quiet but steady business tone prevailed at this market to-day, prices being well maintained at recent levels. The dulness engendered by the engineers' strike is deepened by the uneasiness and feared dis- turbances in the Scotch coal and Cleveland pig iron trades, though the latter might benefit j Midland pig makers. Manufacturers report I themselves tolerably well engaged, though many of the works are not making full time, and in some cases only four days a week. The chief business doing is in bars, hoops, girders, sections, and angles. Sheets were in better re- quest, consumers having enlarged their orders but the week's prices, which are not so much owing to the absence of demand as to excessive competition in South Wales and elsewhere con- tinue, black doubles being to-day unchanged at JE6 5s, with singles 5s less, and lattens 203 more. The galvanised branch was quiet and steady at £ 9 10s to £ 10 for doubles f.o.b. Liverpool. Additional orders were reported for marked bars at S7 10s, and their second quality material at JE6 15s to 17 commanded more notice. At X5 10s to X5 15s common bars had a good steady demand, while merchant iron was quoted at £6 10s to S,6 12s 6d. Puddled bars were Y,3 15s to £ 4. Nail rod was £6 10s to t6 15s angles, X6 to X6 5s'; hoop iron, 96 7s 6d to 46 10s tube strip, £ 5 12s 6d to £ 5 15s fine strip, £ 610s boiler plates, £ 8 10s and ship plates £ 6 10s. Steel manufacturers are very actively engaged in the output of steel orders for angles, channels and plates. To-day in- quiries for billets and bars were steady, and a healthy amount of business is expected to be received for some time. Prices were quoted at S,4 10s to 14 15s for Bessemer billets, and 14 12s 6d to t4 15s for Bessemer blooms Siemens' billets, S,4 15s to X5 bars, V,6 5s to £6 10s sheets, £7 5s and upwards; all rolled sheets £10 10s and angles and girders X6 for large sec- tions and 15s per ton extra for small sizes. Sales of pig iron were proceeding at a somewhat slow rate, and those made were mostly for early delivery, though there is reason to believe that former contracts will before long in many cases expire and have to be renewed. To-day's pig iron forge prices were :—Staffordshire cold blast, 88s 6d all mine hot air, 52s 6d to 57s 6d part mine, 41s to 47s 6d, according to quality; and cinder, 38s. Northamptonshire forge averaged 41s 6d, and Derbyshires averaged 41s 6d. Lincolnshire grey forge was quoted 47s 6d. j Railway material manufacturers in this district are interested in the fact that the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs I has been informed by our Consul-General at Christiania that the Norwegian State Railway I Administration invite tenders for the supply of 340,500 railway plates ("underlagsplader") and 823,000 "dogs. Separate tenders, marked respectively underlagspladers and dogs," should be addressed Stvrelsn's Expedion- skouter Statsbanerne, Christiania," when further information may be obtained on appli- cation up to the 29th instant.
NEWCASTLE COAL AND IRON TRADE.
NEWCASTLE COAL AND IRON TRADE. NEWCASTLE, Thursday. The Federation of engineering trades has declared for the eight hours day. The shipwrights on the north-east coast are being locked out on account of the Tyne dispute with kindred trades about demarca- tion of work, and the outlook now forebodes general stoppage of engineering, and shipbuild- ing, iron, and steelworks will be seriously affected while prices and orders were such as to make these concerns locally first-class invest- ments. The Northumberland coal trade is fairly steady in demand, and the price 8s 6d best steams, 3s 6d smalls. Coke is in strong demand for the Continent.
EASTERN ORDER FOR IRON. !
EASTERN ORDER FOR IRON. On Thursday, the receipt was announced at Wolverhampton of some important orders for iron from Eastern markets. The orders come largely from Japan, India, and China, and represent galvanised sheets, black sheets, and other descriptions of rolled iron. Thin gauges, such as 28 and 30 gauge, are mostly specified, and makers are busy in execution. Prices are quoted £ 9 15s to £ 10 outports for 24 gauge, £ 1115s to £ 12 for 28 gauge, and £ 15 for 30 gauge. All galvanised black sheets are in proportion.

THE MOOLAH. There was once a preposterous Moolah, Who set himself up as a ruler In the mountains of Swat, In parts that are hot, And in others perceptibly cooler. Now this very ridiculous Mollah (Whose pretentions were palpably holler), Being filled with ambition, Made a great coalition, And attempted the English to swoller. But with this ambulatory Mullah Things are now of a different colour, For on Saturday night He vanished in flight, This Moolah, or Mollah, or Mullah. -Globe

THE GREAT CURE FOR CORNS. Munday's Viridine—Still further testimony. A Chemist writes: Will you send me a bottle of your Viridine ? It is for my own use. I get plenty of corn cures of the same colour, but none of them appear to equal yours. No one ought to say his corns are incurable until he has used Yiridine." Thousands have been cured, most of I whom had suffered for over 50 years. Beware of imita- tions. Sold in bottles Is, by post Is 2d, by the pro- prietor, J.

" WAR CRY " ON THE MORALI…
WAR CRY ON THE MORAL PLAY. The Rev. Mr Parr and Dr. Rawlings ha.ve eom- rades in London. For barefaced, blatant, and cunning hypocrisy," says a writer in General Booth's journal this week, the new style drama has no equal." A young Salvation lion has been "wandering "—going about seeking whom he may write up. In the course of his perambulations this it "eresting specimen of the Hallelujah carnivora devoured a fashionable church, which was not at all to his mind, an infidel in Hyde Park (with whom he sympathised), a funeral party, and the outside "of a popu- lar playhouse." He fell upon the latter on his way from a Salvation meeting at the old Grecian Theatre. Flaring bills in the windows of a bril- liantly illuminated gin palace, which occupied part of the theatre site, announced Drink—A Great Moral Play." The "house was disgorg- ing as the writer passed, and he remained takin' notes." A touchin' play, Mister," said a bright- eyed, agile, acrobatic-looking customer. The woman plays the villain part, and old Charlie the hero—two teazers I There weren't a dry cheek when he were a doin' of the horrors! His speech to the brandy 'bottle, Mister, were enough to make the old fellow himself shed a crystal. How did I feel ? Quite pious till it was over. Had a glass since ? Just one, mate—days are a turnin' quite chilly, aren't they?" The principle of dramatic) representation, the War Cry man con- cludes, is sound enough, but as it is applied and worked out it only encourages the practice of those vices which eat like cankers the mpral strength of the people.

ABERAVON TOWN COUNCIL.
ABERAVON TOWN COUNCIL. The monthly meeting of the Town Council was held at the Council Chamber, Aberavon, ou Wednesday evening, Alderman H, Walsh in the ohair. The report of the Finance Committee' recommending the adoption of a Is 4d district rate for the next six months was adopted, as also was the recommendation of the same committee of a borough fund rate at the rate of 5d in the £ for the ensuing six months. After consider- able discussion, the report of a sub-committee appointed to deal with the question of opening up a new road to the beach from off the Neath- road was adopted. This committee recommended the preparation of plans of the proposed road by the borough surveyor. This road would be a splendid improvement to the town, and would provide a fine approach to the fine beach from the Neath side of the town. His worship the Mayor (Councillor W. Richards), who wore his Jubilee Decoration medal, received the felicita- tions of the Council on the honour conferred upon him by her Majesty. Mr W. G. Owen, of Ross, was appointed gas manager, in the room of Mr G. W. Harrison, who has resigned through ill- health.
REMINISCENCE OF ARDLAMONT.
REMINISCENCE OF ARDLAMONT. At the Bankruptcy Court o. Wednesday (before the Senior Official Receiver) the first meeting of creditors was held in the case of A. W. B. Daniell, the debtor being described as late of Leinster-square, W., and formerly of Kenbury, in the county of Devon, gentleman. A statement of affairs showed unsecured debts JE971, and debts amounting to £30,514. There were also partly secured creditors for £3,651, the securities being valued at £2,495, and a ranking indebtedness of £2,138. The debtor claimed to have a surplus from the securities of £1,085, but so far as he (the Official Receiver) could see there was not likely to be a penny for anyone. It appeared that the debtor had become involved in financial transactions with one Wyvill (better known as Monson), of Ardlamont notoriety, and his in- solvency was also ascribed to the usurious rates of interest charged by money-lenders for ad- vances. No proposal was made, and the matter was left in the hands of the Official Receiver to be wound up in bankruptcy. _h_-
; WORKHOUSE SCRAPS.
WORKHOUSE SCRAPS. One of the problems which face Poor Law guardians is the waste of food that goes on in large workhouses. The importance of the ques- tion from the ratepayers pomt of view has been so far recognised that the Local Government Board have proposed to institute an inquiry Meanwliile,one or two Unions are considering the matter by committees, and this course was adopted on Wednesday by the Strand Guardians, who it appears, have to contend with enormous waste at their Edmonton Workhouse and other establishments. The only suggestion that had any practical intention was made by the chair, man (Mr Thomas Hill), who advised the purchase of pigs for the purpose of fatteuing them on the large quantities of unused bread and other scraps. The discussion is more timely in view of the high prices which boards are already being called on to pay for their flour contracts.
EXCITING ENCOUNTER WITH A…
EXCITING ENCOUNTER WITH A SNAKE. There was an extraordinary scene on Wednesday at Messrs Combe's brewery, which covers an exten- sive area. near Covent Garden Market. Several, men were in one of the cellars in Langley-street. when they found in a corner a snake about 2ft long. The reptile at once erected itself,and made a dart at the nearest cellarman. The man, with an adze he had in his hand at the time, killed the snake. One of the cellarmen, who lived in India for some years, said that it was a whip snake. As to how the snake came into Messrs Combe's brewery, it is stated that crates and packages of foreign fruit consigned to Covent Garden brokers are frequently placed on the pavement near the brewery, and it is supposed that the snake crawled out of one of these and dropped through the cellar grating. The man who killed the snake sold it to one of the brewers.

At the rising of the Court at Bow-street on Wednesday two women, who had been served with notices by their landlord to attend before the magistrate, on the hearing of an application for an ejectment order against them, were told by Sir John Bridge that, as their landlord was not present, they could go home. If the landlord wished to get rid ofihem he would have to serve them with a fresh notice. The women, who were most voluble in their thanks, said,God bless you, Sir John. We're delighted to see you* back here. We read all about you in the papers and are glad to see you are restored to health."

The silver-plated altar cross was broken in two and bent; leaves were torn from the Bible on the lectern, and cassocks and surplices taken from the vestry and piled on the floor. The vicar's surplice had a jug of water poured over it. There was no money in the boxes, and all that was taken was some light liner and tapers. j

11, THE MURDER OF HARRIET…
11, THE MURDER OF HARRIET STAUNTON. A FAMOUS CASE OF 20 YEARS AGO. CONVICT NOW RELEASED. Lewis Adolphus Edmund Staunton, who was one of the prisoners in the celebrated Penge case, and was sentenced to death, the sentence being subsequently remitted to penal servitude for lifo,. was released from Pentonville prison on^Thursday on ticket-of-leave, after serving 20 years* imprisonment. He was removed from Dartmooii prison to London on Tuesday, and was conveyed, to Pentonville pending his release. mSTORY OF THE dRIME. The crime for which he was convicted was th&Cr of starving his wife, Harriet Staunton, to death]!» The trial took place on September 19th, 1877, at the time excited the most profound interest. The case was held at the Old Bailey (before Mi Justice Hawkins), and in the box with Lewie Staunton, who was described at the time as a farmer, and whose age was given as 26, were his brother, Patrick Staunton, an artist, 24 years old, his wife, Elizabeth Anne Staunton, aged 28. and Alice Rhodes, aged 20. The trial lasted for a week, and terminated in the jury returning a verdict of Guilty against all the prisoners, the same time recommending Alice Rhode^ i strongly to mercy. Sentence of death was passed, and this was followed by an extraordinary display of feeling on the part of the public. The newt-" papers were j j INUNDATED WITH LETTERS. p- chiefly from medical men, calling attention tel the insufficiency of the evidence. Meetings were, held, and a committee appointed to urge the commutation of the sentence; and, finally, thi 5 trial was so far reviewed that the sentence on thE • three btauntons was commuted to penal servitude for life, whlie Alice Rhodes was set at liberty! Patrick Staunton died while undergoing his tent of penal servitude, but his wife was released after completing ten years, At the trial Mrs Butterfield, the mother of the deceased woman, stated that her daughter was entitled to a fortune of between £3,000 altogether, but at the time of her marriage she only came into about £ 1,600. She marrile Lewis Staunton in June, 1875, and after thE wedding the mother could not obtain any satis- factory information about her daughter. She alleged that Patrick Sta.unton used threats to bet whom she stated her intention of seeing he* daughter, and also spoke of the behaviour towards: her of Lewis Staunton and his sister-in-daw A witness whose evidence was of a. sensational character was Clara Brown, a girl of sixteen, and first cousin to Elizabeth Staunton and Alice Rhodes, who were sisters. She said she thought. that Alice Rhodes and Lewis Staunton seemed to be too affectionate towards each other, an £ stated that the deceased woman also complained of th:, intimacy. 1 r ANOTHER POINT OF INTEREST in the evidence of this witness was the instrnctiorif* to her not to let Mrs Staunton go out-of the house or let anyone see her. At first she used to have her meals with the rest of the fam% birl afterwards she was sent upstairs, and her'foo4i sent up to her to prevent her coming down. Sometimes the deceased complained that sh* did not have sufficient food to eat, and the witness spoke to acts of ill-usage on the part ol Patrick Staunton. More than once she heard him threaten the deceased that if she came down- stairs he would break her back. The witness gave a graphic description of how ill and we deceased became, and how the Stauntons tried ic feed her, but she was unable to eat anythingf Af this time Alice Rhodes, the witness said, was living with Lewis Staunton at a place called' Little Grey s Farm. Sensational as this testimony was, it was inJ tensined when Clara Brown said she found m letter written by Lewis Staunton to Alice Rhodes! It began, My own darling," and went on to say' a time will come when Harriet is out of the way, that we shall be happy together." There were other witnesses who deposed to hearing cries from the house, while the medical men whd were called generally agreed that death resulted from starvation. The verdict of the jtiify con- firmed this conclusion.—Daily Mail. p '¡¡-
TINNED FOOD STUFFS. "FE
TINNED FOOD STUFFS. FE I, At Leeds on Thursday the whole of the seotidnj,, at the Sanitary Congress were at work. The chiai subjects discussed were the pollution of .riveri and poisoning by canned foods. In dealing witt the first-named Major L. Fowler, who presidec3 over the section, said the chief thing which lay at the root of the matter was waste, and he adva cated that the sewage of a country should b) returned to the land to produce a fresh supply ol food. The subject of canned foods was lntrov duced by Dr. J. Brown, of Bacup, who is a strone advocate of legislation on the subject. In recarc to tinned fruits, Dr. Brown said he was not a wart of any case which had ended fatally. He had however, made numerous analyses, showing that in cans in which lead was used in tinning oi soldering, the former metal was found in th« fruits and syrup. The moral was Eat canned foods soon after canning." H01\ long foods hermetically sealed would keet was not definitely known. Having had cannec foods, including meats, soups, rabbits, gtblets and oysters from twenty to thirty years Tie found that the tins, though rusty outside, wen perfectly good inside. The meats were sounj though not as fresh and tempting to the eye at recently canned foods. In canned fruits, how ever, the effect of age was that the acids of th< fruits dissolved, by chemical and galvanic action the plating and solder, with disastrous conse quences. To safeguard the public health h< recommended the Government to forbid tinnec foods in which the tin used for plating containet more than 1 per cent. of lead, or more than 1( per cent. in the solder. This law has been it." force in Germany since 1889. A discussioi followed, in which most of the speakers defended tinned salmon, if properly prepared, and advisee caution before moving for legislation. u-
THE TERRORS OF HEART DISEASE:
THE TERRORS OF HEART DISEASE: A well-known medical man in the North o England, and one of the editors of a leadini: medical paper, says :—" Heart disease has lon since lost its terrors for me. I have 8npeoplc living for years, in fact growing old, with hear disease so far advanced that life would be though impossible." To sufferers from this dread disease the words of this eminent man must give srea. comfort. He speaks what is known to be th. literal truth, and as a practitioner and writer his name stands in the very front rank of hi profession. His words, therefore, are to be relief on, when he goes on to say that the really terribli opponent with which medical science has to cop," nowadays is Bright's disease of the kidneyg- Peopie call upon me," he says, looking in goo# health, ruddy strong, and active, to all appeaftunce ta} ,bl°01? of vigour, but they will sav Oh!

On Wednesday the Coroner received in formation as to the cause of the fatality. Whel the Racoon was stationed off the Wes Coast of Africa. Harris bought a baby monkey J This soon became the pet of the crew, owing t, S its tricks.
