WHITFORD. The Whitford Parish celebrations took place at Mostyn Park (very kindly lent for the oooasion and thrown open to the publio by Lord Mostyn). The chief features were the presentation of Jubilee mugs by Lord Mostyn, medals by Mr W. J. P. Storey, and tea to the children and aged poor of the parish. The children of Pantasa, Q-orsedd, Carmel, and Whitford schools mustered at Whitford, and pro- ceeded to the Park from the Top Lodge. The children of Christ Church sohool, and the following clubs:—Loyal Dee Lodge, I.O.O.F., Anoient Britons Lodge, and Lord Mostyn Lodge, O.A. Shepherds, after a short service at Christ Churoh, and headed by the Mostyn Llanerchymor Brass Band (conductor Mr Thomas Hughes) marched along the Mostyn-road. Both partes 'or juiuoa vy Lady A.<>euoi.a's at me Bridge) formed prooessiona to the park arriving there 2 o'clock. Assembling by the orioket ground on the Park, a religious service was held, conducted by the Revs. John Davies, (vioar of Whitford), and Dr E. Pan Jones, (Rhewl), hymns were sung by the schools from leaflets procured for the occasion, and seleoted by the Celebration Committee (one being composed by the Mostyn bard, Glyn Fardd), and prayers were offered by the two rev. gentlemen. The National Anthem was sung by the assembled crowd with thorough heartiness. The vooal music was accom- panied by the band. Immediately after the servioe an interesting resentation took place—that of a large portrait of Her Majesty, in a handsome frame surmounted by a gilt crown, to Lady Augusta's, Whitford, Gorsedd, Christ Churoh, and Carmel Schools by Mr Wm. 0. Piokering, on behalf of Lord and Lady Mostyn. Mr Piokering, in presenting the gifts to the respective Schoolmasters and Schoolmistresses, addressed the schools in words well chosen and most appropriate to the occasioxl.- The Revs. John Davies, and Griffith Jones, on behalf of the Church sohools proposed a hearty vote of thanks to his Lordship xor his valuable gifts, and coupled with it a vote of thanks to Lord Mostyn for the gift of the Jubilee mugs to the children, and to Mr Storey for his generosity in presenting the medals. The vote was seoonded by Mr J. S. Lloyd (on behalf of the Oarmel British sohool, and supported by Dr Pan JoneB. This, and a vote of thanks to Lord Mostyn for the use of the park, were carried with acclama- tion.—A medal, and mug were then presented to each ohild.-Ton followed in the large barn (300 aeated at a time), good tea (in the Jubilee mugs), bread and butter, seed and bun loaf, followed by paokets of sweets to eaoh child on leaving the building was much enjoyed.

Close upon 1000 children had tea, and about 500 of the aged people and others.—The whole of the catering was exoellentlv done by Mr Pownall, the Quay, aided by a good baud of helpers. The old people were presented with lIb of tea before leaving. Two alfreseo performances were given by the Holywell "Snowdrops" minstrels. The perform- anoes were capitally given, and needless to say muoh appreciated, and at the olose a hearty vote of thanks was accorded them for their kindness in giving their services, on the proposition of Mr H. A. Cope. A number of children's raoea were held during the afternoon, after tea, under the superintendence ef Mr J. A. Soott, assisted by Mr Pickering-, Mr Cope MI: Folds (Pentreffynnon), and other members of the Committee, all of whom who were present rendering every assistance throughout the day with the provisions, in the park, and at the tea. The band played at intervals, and to olose the proceedings the sohool children fang a jubilee song to the tune of "The march of the men of Harleah," and the National anthem (both aooompanied by the band). The whole of the programme and arrangements were carried out without any hitoh in the proceed- ings, and all thoroughly enjoyed themselves. About £100 had been oolleoted and given to the fund, and being more than sufficient, it is intended to devote the balance later on.—It is understood that the old people who had been invited, and were unable to attend will reoeive the packet of tea, and the value of the tea patty in kind. A grand display of fireworks took place from the Roman Pharos at Garrpg-, at dusk, under the direction of Mr Scott, who it should be mentioned had worked mofct energetically, and been of great assistance to the secretaries in the arrangements for the day. Credit is due to the Vice-chairman of the Committee (Mr H. A. Cope, Saitbaelwyd), and the Committee generally, also the treasurer (Mr Wm. Roberts), and the secretaries (Messrs S. Hawkyard, and J.. S. Lloyd) for the grand auooeaa they attained.

Two sinkers, named Stephen Jonea and Thomas Tarraa, placed a shot in position for the purpose of blasting some ooal, and, baving lighted the fuae they ascended the ahaft. For some reason the shot missed fire, and after waiting the prescribed time the men went down again to examine the shot.

Jones sustained the worst injuries, and he had to be removed to the Mold Cottage Hospital.

HALKYN. In oelebration of Her Majesty's Diamond Jubilee, there were .great rejoioings in this Parish. The weather was beautifully fine, and might well be termed Queen's weather." At 8 a.m., the Ohuroh bells rang out a merry peal, and continued for about an hour. At 9.30 a.m. 60 charges of dynamite were fired near the Ralkyn Mine in honour of the event. At 1.30 p.m., the Halkyn Brasa Band (whioh it should be mentioned, ably performed their duties all through tho day), met the children and adults a Pcntrj, an I thence they proceeded to the Sohool at Halkyn, where eaoh child was presented with a Jubilee Medal. They then went in marching order to meet the Rhesycae contingent, and in orossing the Mountain towards the Halkyn Mine, on their way down to the School, the procession presented a pleasing appearance, with the flags and banners flying. Tea was laid at the Sohool; first for the ohildren, who numbering about 460, appeared to enjoy themselves immensely and did ample justice t) the tei and cake laid before them. Aites tea, and whilst the adults were partaking of the good things provided, the children were paraded into the sports field, where sports and different games were held The adults tea was over about 6.30, and all the inhabitants gathered together in the spotts field. The programme of sports was long and varied, and the arrangements were most ably oarried out by the Sports Committee aided by Mr Lester Smith. After the distribution of the prises by Alderman Peter Jones, who addressed the vast audience who had collected by this time, and was followed by a stirring address from Mr Lester Smith, a procession was formed at 9.40, and a start was made for the Mountain where the huge bonfire was built. A display of fireworks preceded the lighting of the bonfire, and at 10.10 p.m., Captain Francis mounted the stupendous pile amidst loud oheers, for the purpose of putting it alight. The band then played the National Anthem, and after this the vast oonoourse joined in "Han wlad fy Nhadau." The whole of the arrangements had been delegated to a strong committee representative of the various interests in the parish, under the Chairmanship of the Key A. J. M. Green, Rector, and the success of the day s proceedings throughout, was_ most oreditable to all oonoerned, The good feeling prevailing on this auspieious occasion will, We feel aure, be the means of bringing together into a ohoser bond of friendship all sections of Her Majesty's subjects within the Parish.

WHY WOMEN ARE ATTRACTIVE Why is one woman attractive and another not ? It isn't entirely a question of age, or features, or intelleot. The most admirable and attractive thing about an attractive woman is her womanliness. Everybody admires a womanly woman. She must have health, of oonrse, beoause without it ahe would lose the brightness of her eyes, the fulness of her oheeks, and her vivacity. Health brings all these things, but health means more than most people think of. If pale, nervous, and weak, a woman lacks good health. Women who are pale and wan should not resort to iron, drug' and tonios, except by the advioe of a properly qualified medioal man. They should try instead to nourish and build up their blood by the vital nourishment of Dr Tibbie's Vi-Ooooa. And so rosycheeks and oomelineas may be attained. Surely the road is pleasanter than the thorny and nasty path paved with drugs. Nurse Tillotson, Alexander Hotel, St. Leonard's- on-Sea, writes: I have tried Dr. Tibbies' Yi-Ooooa, and like it very muoh. I shall have much pleasure in reoommending it to my patients." Misa S. Peroival, Post Offioe, Burgh, writes:- I do not think that any other can equal youra. My father has been taking ordinary ooooa, but I think Dr. Tibblea Vi-Ooooa is better. I will tell my friends of your Vi-Ooooa." Mrs. King, Linden Cottage, Wimbledon Hill Surrey, writes:—"I think Dr. Tibbies' Yi-Coooa is delicious, and quite fulfilla all said about it." Mra. Budden, Bradwardine, Bournemouth writna* —" 1 am pleased with Dr. Tibbies' Yi-Ooooa and like it, and will oertamly use it in future." Merit, aud merit alone, is what we olaim for Dr. Tibbies' Vi-Coooa, and we are prepared to aend to any reader who namea the FlintshWa Observtr a dainty sample tin of Dr. Tibbleal Vi-Ooooa free and post-paid. There is no magio in all this. It is a plain honest, straight forward offer. It is done to introduce the merits of Yi-Ooooa into every home. Dr. Tibbies' Vi-Ooooa, as a concentrated form of nourishment and vitality is invaluable; nay, more than this; for to all who wish to face the strife and battle of life with greater enduranoe and more sustained exertion, it is absolutely indispensable. Dr. Tibbies' Vi-Ooooa is made up in 6d. paokets, and 9d. and In. 6d. tins. It can be obtained from all chemists, grocers, and stores, or from Dr. Tibbies' Vi-Ooooa, Limited, 60, 61 and 62, Bunhill Ro^pJjondon, E.C. Write for free sample.

^"THH GOOD DIH TOUKB.—Unlike most popular sayings, this has very little truth in it. Experience every day proves that some at least of the good are spared to make the world brighter and better, and a more pleasant place to live in. In fact, our experience is that good people, and good things generally, live the longest. For example, consider the thousands of artiolea which have been widely advertised and are now forgotten. Why!

+ ON 7BBS0BAL MMs. There is a great deal in a name," writes Sir H. Maxwell in Blackwood, "Borneo and Juliet would never have become, among Western nations at least, the type of all that is paasionate and tender, had their sponsors named them Abraham and Sarah; and the imagination recoils from the possibility that Romeo, had be been an Englishman, might in tender moments have profaned the name of his lady- love by turning it into Judy." The fame of the accomplished Paderewski has for montha attracted thousands to his recitals; it is unjust to the musical sense of the British public to doubt whether as many would have been drawn had the foreigner's name appeared on the hoard- ings in homely English-Pattison ?" One of the most melodious additions made in modern times to feminine nomenclature originated in the Battle at Alma. Less important circumstances, however, some* Vmes give rise to names. 1 was acquainted with a gallant fellow who fought in the ranks of the Con- naught Rangers in that action, who, when afterwards in my service, was presented by his wife with two daughters in two successive years. The first was called Jane and the second Phoebe, and on being asked why he had selected the latter name he replied: "Well, sorr, ye see our eldest was born in January, so we called her Jane and the other was born in February, so we just called her Faybie." "One significant fact which strikes one examining surnames derived from localities is that the frequency with which a place-name is employed is in inverse ratio to the importance of the place. London, Edin- burgh, and Dublin are most rare as family names; but almost every village of any antiquity in Great Britain has plenty of human namesakes. The reason for this is simple enough; in old times, as now, it was the countrymen who flocked into the great towns, not the townspeople who peopled the country. It is a very old piece of chaff against Scotchmen that they have spread themselves all over the world to avoid starving in their own country; hence people bearing the name of Scott are very numerous compared with those answering to Inglis, who are only to be found in limited numbers, near the border. Against this may be set the fact that Scotland owed her independence, at one critical time, to one whose name means Welshman-i.e., Wallace—and at another to one of direct Nerman descent, bearing a foreign territorial sur- same-(de Brus)." The use of territorial and location names has survived in the Lowlands of Scotland to this day. Not only are lairds habitually spoken of and addressed by the name of their estate or residence, but farmers in certain districts respond most freely to the names of their lands. There used to be an old fellow, tenant of a small farm on the Tig, in Ayrshire.

OONNAH'S QUAY A ROTAS STCTBOBOH.—On Friday night two Counah's Quay fishermen, named Wm. Hewitt and Stephen Hewitt, were engaged with draft net fishing in the Dee for salmon, when they succeeded in landing on the beach a Royal sturgeon. The capture was made directly opposite the wharf. The fish weighed between 501b. and 601b.

FISHING BOATS SUNK. A severe gale sprang up about noon on Friday, blowing from a northerly direction, and dating the tide the squalls increased in violence, being aooompanied by a heavy downpour of rain. The river presented a moat turbulent appearanoe, and the tide reached a height of several feet higher than marked upon the tide table. At high water a heavy sea prevailed, and it was with the utmost difficulty that ships coming in from sea with the tide were held to their anchors, and but for the assistance of the steam tugs collisions would have been inevitable as small craft were being tossed about in all directions. Those ships moored to the wharves and in the docks were unable to move, and extra pre- cautions were necessary to prevent their breaking away from their moorings. The village fishermen felt the full force of the gale, as the direction from which the wind was blowing had a very sarious effeot upon their boats and fishing taokle. For a time the boats battled against the gale, being totsed about very severely, but at high water the waves increased in size, and a great number of the boati in the most exposed position filled with water and sank, the fishermen on the beach looking on but being unable to render the least assistance. During ebb tide, however, the boata came dry, and then it was possible to ascertain what damage was sustained. Fortunately the boats being moored to anohor took little damage, but a large quantity of nets, masts, and 8ail, and other fishing tackle has been lost, and it is feared will not be recovered.
