I was forced to go to the blun Hospital in Elm Bank-street; they did not do any good to it. Then I tried most of all the principal institutions in Glasgow, and lastly the Skin and Cancer Institution in St. Vincent-street, and paid one pound before receiving any advice, and the advice wai that he was afraid I would lose my upper lip I received treatment in this institution for one month, and received no benefit. Then he told me he would have to take the lip off, but I would not consent, and of which I am a proud man to-day. After this I went to the Western Infirmary, and was under a clever skin specialist. I rsceived treatment for 13 weeks, and received a little benefit, and came out and cpmmenced working again at my occupation, but I soon glbt as bad as ever I then commenced with 'Clarke's Wbrld-famed Blood Mixture,' and after taking five bottles was completely cured.

I was turned out in- curable, as I would not consent to have my leg taken off. I was told to try Clarke's Blood Mixture by a friend of mine, so I sent for a large bottle, and by the time I had taken it I was able to go about on my crutches. I had another bottle, and by the time I had finished it my leg was quite well, and I am able to go to my work. I am a Birmingham man, but am working at present in Halifax, and I am willing to answer any questions that anyone may wish to ask, for I cannot speak too highly of it. I recommend it to all.

The Dean of St. Asaph contradicts the report that the Bishopric of Bangor has been offered to him. No communication," says the Dean, has been made to me on the subject." Speaking at Festiniog on Tuesday, Mr Herbert Lewis, M.P., dealt with the legisla- tive aspects of the temperance question, and argued that Wales was ripe for a measure which would place the liquor traffic under public control. The views of the Welsh people on this subject, he said, had been plainly indicated in and out of Parliament, and the experience gained in the working of a Welsh act would be of great practical value for the rest of the United Kingdom. Some very interestiug statistics have just been issued by the Board of Agriculture on the returns collected on the 4th of June last. This year, in Flintshire, there have been 5,592 acres of wheat grown, against 4,710 last year. Of barley there were 5,415 against 5,563; and oats, 11,94s against 12,613 last year; potatoes, 2,328 acres against 2,260; hay from clover and rotation grasses, 14,161 against 14,002; and hay from permanent pasture, 18,365 against 17,227. There are this year in Flintshire 34,883 cattle, against 35,062 last year; 75,43-1 sheep, against 72,767 in 1897; and 18,434 pigs against 16,175 At a meeting of the public vaccinators of North Wales, held at Bangor for the purpose of considering the operations of the new act, the following resolution was passed That in the opinion of this meeting of public vaccinators of North Wales in any future contract between the guardians and the public vaccinator the minimum fee of 5s. be accepted as for remuneration for every successful vaccination but that the is. minimum fee for every name on the vaccination officers' list sent to the public vaccinator should be increased after the first mile at the rate of 13. for every complete mile or part of a mile from the public vaccinator's residence provided that such payments for mileage shall not ia any one case exceed 55."

TIm UBBAN COUNCIL AND rra FINANOBS —A special meeting of the Holywell Urban Oouacil was held on Thursday evening to oonsider questions relating to the fiuanofcs of the Council, consequent upon a change in the treasnreship, Mr E. B. Marsden, manager of the National Provincial Bank, having resigned that office, and Mr A. T. EvaDs having applied to be appointed his Buooeasor. There were premeiDt-Dr. James Williams (ohairman), Councillors J. Carman (vioe-chairman), Evan Bryan, T. H. Waterhouse, Walter Garner, T. Griffiths, J. W. Davies, J. LL Wiiliams, J. W. Bennett, Joseph Jones, and J. H. Hague. It appeared that a sub committee of the Council had interviewed Mr Evans with regard to an outstanding sum due from the Council to the bank as interest.—Mr Thos. Griffiths reported that the sub-oommittee had ascertained from Mr Evans J that there was a balance due to the bank for interest amounting to JE119 12s. Od. which bad accumulated since January, 1895. Of that sum L40 had been paid to the late treasurer, leaving dB79 12E. Od. due, and the bank offered to take off that fb29 12s. Od., leaving due j660, which the Oom- mittee recomineuded the Council to pay. In future the bank offered to allow the Council an over- r draft to the extent of £ 700 if the Council would pay the tresaurer a salary of £26, to be reduced pro- io t, portionately if the overdraft be less.-The Clerk: Whioh will kill you in the eyes of the auditor.—Mr J. LI. Williams said the way they proposed getting out of that difficulty was to fix the salary each year when reappointing the treasurer.—Mr Bryan: If we pay this £60 the auditor will know it and he will surcharge it, and we shall have to go in proper form to ask for the surcharge to be removed.—Mr Garner: Can't we increase the salary of the treasurer, and make it a fixed amount?—The Clerk: Yes but if you make it a fluctuating amount it will look suspioious. Mr Williams proposed that an honorarium" of £60 be paid to the late treasurer. —Mr Waterhouse, in seoonding, said he yet con- sidered it an unsatisfactory way of getting out of their financial difficulties.—Considerable discussion followed and ultimately the Clerk was asked if be saw any other way.of getting out of the difficulty. The Clerk replied that he thought to pay the J660 as an "honorarium" was the best way "out of the fog." It was ultimately decided that a oheque be paid to the National Provincial Bank for A50 to cover the amount due. Mr A. T. Evans was ap- pointed the treasurer.—It was agreed that the uee of the Assembly Hall be granted for the distribution of the County Sohool prizes on the 14th inst. at a nominal cost for gas and cleaning.
WELSH GIRLS' SOHOOL, A9HFORD,…
WELSH GIRLS' SOHOOL, A9HFORD, MIDDLESEX. On Saturday, November 26th, Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Albany visited the Welsh Girie School, and was received, in the unavoidable abtenoe of the treasurer, Lord Llangattock, by the vice- treasurer J. Lewis Thomas Esq, F S.A., and the Dean of St. Asaph. Her Royal HiiiiiLea attended a short thanksgiving service, conducted by the Dean and the Chaplain, in the sohool Chapel and unveiled a tablet commemorating its gift to the school by Kit Alfred H. Bevan. The building is designed to accommodate about 160 pers n*. Internally the building is 66ft long, 26ft wide AA £ 30ft high to the crown of the roof. Externally the walla and architectural features are of stone. The atyle adopted is perpeudioular. The desire for a plaia and substantial building prompted the arohiteet to adopt only the simplest forms and details of this usually ornate style of architecture, but the subsequent generosity of Mr Alfred Bevan afforded an opportunity of embellishing the interior to a much greater extent than was at firái intended. The following works have been added by his liberality since the opening of the chapel, the organ tribune and arohes, the oak dado surrounding the walls internally, the oak benohes, the marble and oak flooring, and various other details such as oarving. The whole of the building works were exeouted by Messrs J. Dorey and Co, including the more elaborate work of the reredos, the soulptuxe centre subject of which was the work of Brindlay and Farmer. The heraldio and other carvings are by Mr Mabery, Messrs. Verity and Sons being responsible for the heating and gas work. After the service the Duchess attended a concert in the Hall, when the children, aooompanied by the school oroheatra, sang various national songs in Welsh.

I "MADE IN -GERMANY"
"MADE IN GERMANY" Bioyoles, too, are "made in Germany." And thereby hangs a little tale that exposes the trioks of the trade. The British Consul at Dusseldorf, reporting to his Government, gays that recently he had the opportunity of seeiog the catalogues of a German firm, one FOR circulation in Germany, the other in England. THE German prioe was 913 15S, and the Eoglisb for the same article was t24. We are not at present interested In the firm's reasons fow the discrepancy, but refer to the matter as pretty conclusive evidenoe that the greatest swindle of the day, is that praotised on the buyers of bioyoles.
