The Pearl."—Last year we reported that the Aberystwyth district of the Pearl Life Assurance Company came out second for in- crease in 1902 for Ordinary business in the whole country, but now we have to report a still further progress, as for 193 tOhe Aberyst- wyth district reached the first place for in- crease, and not only for the whole year but it came out first at the end of each quarter. This is highly satisfactory for the staff of the district, who must have worked hard to attain such fine results, considering the gen- eral depression in trade, as well as the keen competition of other offices. Since last year there have been several important changes amongst the staff. Mr. J. Jenkins, assist- ant-in-charge at Towyn having been promoted a district superintendent at Cardigan, and Mr. G. S. Owens of Machynlleth appointed his successor at Towyn, also of the 29 collec- tors two have been promoted to Barry and Forth respectively. For tables or any infor- mation apply to the district superintendent, Mr. M. W. Parry, Northgate-terrace, or the assistants, Messrs. Thos. Watkins, Laura- House, Tregaron, and G. S. Owens, 4, Church street, Towyn. Soiree.—On Wednesday evening in last week, a soiree was held at the Wesley Church schoolroom, Queen's-road, which was largely attended.

The weekly Petty Sessions were held on Wednesday, at the Town Hall, before the Mayor (Mr. Isaac Hopkins), Mr. T. Griffiths, and Mr. G. Croydon Marks. Milk Prosecution.—Richard Jones, Bristol House, milk seller, was charged by Supt. Phillips with setting milk adulterated by the abstraction of 8 per cent. of the milk fat and the addition of 1 per cent, of water to the prejudice of the purchaser on February 20th last. Mr. A. J. Hughes appeared for. the defendant. The sample was taken on the morning of February 20th by Sergeant Phil- lips. and the anplyst's certificate showed the above result.—Mr. Hughes asked that the certificate in the case of Anne Jenkins, whose milk had been proved to be quite- pure, should be put in. Part of his case was that the milk sold by the defendant in this case, a sample rJIi: which was taken by Sergeant Phillips, formed n portion of the milk sold to Mrs. Jenkins, and retailed by her within fifteen minutes.— Superintendent Phillips objected to the- product-ion of the certificate, on the ground that it had nothing to do with this case.—The Bench, however, ruled that Mr Hughes was entitled to have the certin- cate produced.—Defendant was then called He said he had thirteen cows, and on Feb- ruary 20th he had nine cows in milk, His son and he did all the milking, and the milk was afterwards brought to his shop in Chalybeate-street, where it was put in three large cans. They milked the cows twice, but were careful to divide the second milk with the rest of the milk. He did not make butted* and had' no separator. tne. milk had been taken to the house, it was strained by his daughter, and then htmded to his son, who took it out and dehvereu it. The only persons who touched the milk that morning were himself, his son, and daughter. No one took any cream from it, nor was any water added to it.—John Jones, defendant s son, also gave evidence. Ihe cans they milked into were perfectly clean. The milk was in his sight from start to finish, and there was no interference with it in any shape or form. After Sergeant Phillips had taken the sample, he sold four quarts of the same milk to Mrs. Jenkins.—Cross-examined He had no milk left from the previous day. By Mr. Croydon Marks: He did not sell any cream.— Corroborative evidence was given by Anne Jones.—Anne Jenkins, ly Melvn, said on the mjorning of February 20th Sergeant Phillips took a sample of milk from her. The sample was taken from the mlk supplied her that morning by Mr. Richard Jones, and had been found on analy- sis to be up to the standard.—Cross-examin- ed: Sh bought four quarts of milk that morning from Richard Jones and twelve quarts from Mr. Jenkins, Llanbadarn. The two milks were kept separate.—John Jones, recalled, said the sample sold to Sergeant Phillips was taken from the same milk as was sold to Mrs. Jenkins.—Tlie Bench having considered their decision, said there was a doubt in the case, and they would give defendant the benefit of the doubt, and dis- miss the charge. Drunk and Disorderly.—Evan Daniel, Queen-street, boatman, was charged by P.C. Thomas Jones with having been drunk and disorderly on the 19th inst., and pleaded o-iulty^ 'The Bencih said they would dehl leniently with accused because of his wife and little child, and fined him 2s. 6d. and costs.—Elizabeth Yaughan, Trefechan. wid- Ol", also pleaded guilty Co a similar charge. She had been bound over on a previous oc- casion, and was now ordered to pay 2s. 6d. and costs. Chimney Afire.—For allowing the chimney of his house to be on fire on the 18th inst., Richard R. Jones, Monkton, Portland-street, was fined Is.
-♦ Free Chureli Councils'…
-♦ Free Chureli Councils' Federation. VISIT OF THE REV. F.B. MEYER. Under the auspices of the Central Wales Federation of Free Church Councils the Rev F. B. Meyer, B.A., president of the National Council, visited Aberystwyth on Tuesday. In the morning, the rev. gentleman delivered aa address to ministers at Bath-street, Pres- bvterian Church, and in the afternoon preached a sermon at Baker-street Welsu Independent Chapel. It had been intended that Mr. Meyer should address a public meeting in the evening at seven o'clock at Tabernacle Chapel, but this arrangement fell through, inasmuch as Mr. Meyer had to leave by the 6.25 p.m. train, in order to be present at a meeting at Cardiu on the following morning. The meeting was consequently held at 5.15 p.m., at the Baker Street Chapel, when, notwithstanding the shortness of the notice, there was a large attendance The Rev. T. Williams, B.A., presided, and there were present most of the ministers and leading Free Churchmen of the town and dis- lhe meeting having been introduced by the Rev. R. J. Rees, M.A., the Chairman, in the course of a short address, spoke of the great work which Free Churchmen would have to face in the immediate future, in regard to the Education Act. In Wales the work was being largely done by the County Councils. They did not want them to waver They wanted no waverers. They had better drop out, and make room for others who were ready to take their place. They meant to stand shoulder to shoulder in this struggle until they gained the victory. They did not love fighting for fighting's sake, but they must fight for truth, for righteousness, and for those principles which had made their country great, noble and glorious. The Hev. F. B. Meyer, in the course of an interesting address, said they found the selves todav met in one of the greatest crises that had ever visited the Free Churches. At the same time, he supposed there never was so great a preparedness on the part of the Free Churches to meet jt. It seemed a perfect miracle that God should have led men like Hugh Price Hughes, and Dr. Berry, of Wolverhampton, to forge this great weapon of the Free Church organisa- tion, for had this education difficulty come upon them in England—he did not know how it would have been in Wales—when they were a number of divided units, they would have been swallowed up one by one. There would have been no cohesion amongst them, and no union by which the power of the Government could be broken. It was a great matter that all through their country, the Free Churches for the first time in their history were really one. That the walls of partition had been broken down, and there were now only little parapets, and instead of being divided Free Churches, they now stood for the first time in English history as one great united Free Church. (Applause). They were a solid phalanx, against which the Government would soon be shattered and splintered. Mr Meyer went on to speak of the magnificent fight made in this Princi- pality, led by his most valued and honoured friend, Lloyd George. (Applause). Talk about passive resistance! Why, all their leading men in the County Councils were passive resisters. They were making the Education Act impracticable, and the ad- mission of the Church Times," last week, that the amendment of the Act was inevit- able was brought about by the fact that they in Wales had made it unworkable. He only hoped that the whole lot of these men might go to prison, and sweeten the prison life of this country. (Laughter)., Nothing would please them better than to see some step of that sort, which would show that the Act was an impossibility, and would convince the Government that they must either amend or withdraw it. The Free Churches stood for five things. The first was the spirituality of Christ's Church as against the mechani- cal theory of the Anglican and Roman Catho- lic Churches; secondly, the absolute equality of all believers in the church; thirdly, the crown rights of Christ; fourthly, their in- terpretation of the spirit of this age. He believed the age was just feeling its way after brotherhood, and the coming time was to be one not of competition but of co- operation. And fifthly, to protect the rights of the common people against such wrongs as the compensation of the publican, to pro- tect the Chinaman against the greed of the mine owner, and to protect those little child- ren who were being caned because they would not repeat the collect in their Church schools. (Applause.) They believed in liberty, and the Free Churches had been raised up to defend that cause. The Church of England, and especially the evangelical part of it, had missed its chance. Had the evangelical part cAlv stood for the freedom of England, she would have made for her- self a name. He thought the greatest chance was for the Free Churches. It was a proud thing to be a Free Churchman to-day. It was a proud thing to have a political Non- conformist conscience. (Hear, hear.) The rev. gentleman appealed to all Free Church- men to continue steadfast to their principles, an eventually the battle for freedom would be won.—Mr. Meyer was then obliged to leave in order to catch his train. Subsequently the Rev. T. E. Roberts pro- posed, and the Rev. Job Miles seconded, a vote of thanks to Mr. Meyer for his address?!? and sermon, and this was carried unanimously.
. Letter from South Africa-
Letter from South Africa- WELSHMEN AT THE CAPE. We have this week received an interesting letter from Mr. Llew. James, son of Captain David James, Llanbadarn-road, Aberystwyth, who, it will be remembered, went out to South Africa a few years back, and is now- resident at Woodstock, Cape Colony. Mr. James gives a good deal of news regarding the doings of Welshmen at the Cape. St. David's Day was celebrated by a picnic at the srmmer house, or temple," on the lovely estate of Groot Schuur. The secretary of the Cambrian Society (Mr. Thos. Bellis) had worked energetically for the success of the fiist celebration, and the result of his labours was the enjoyment by everybody present of the afternoon's programme. On the arrival of the society's president (Mr. W. Thorne, M.L.A., Mayor of Cape Town), the Spes Bona band welcomed him in right royal style by the playing of The March of the Men of liarlech." Amongst those present were Mr. and Mrs. Roberts, Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Parry, [r. and Mrs. Llew. James, the Misses Ed. wards and Jenkins, Mr. and Mrs. Edmund Powell, Mr. J. L. Edwards, Y Bardd Jones, Mr. D. M. Davies, Mr. D. M .Evans, Mr. and Mrs. T. B Williams. During the afternoon games were indulged in by the children, after which refreshments were dispensed by the ladies. Towards the close of the afternoon 'the President of the Society (Mr. W. Thorne, M'.L.A.), in the course of a few remarks, said he was glad to see the unanimity displayed by the Cambrians resident in the city and suburbs, and congratulated those membeis of the society who were responsible for the organisation of the outing. Several choice selections were rendered by the excellent Spes Bona band, the programme comprising many familiar airs, which were much appre- ciated by those present. On Sunday, February 29th, a" Gymanfa Ganu was held, which proved a great suc- cess. The afternoon service was attended by about 200, and there were about 400 Welsh people at the evening meeting. Everybody, says Mr. James, felt that the Gymanfa came to an end too soon as all were in the real Welsh hwyl," and it was felt that such meetings should be held oftener. At the evening meeting two solos were given, one by Mr. Elias, who sang The Dream of Paradise," and the other by Mrs. Llew. James, who sang Angels ever bright and fair." On the evening of March 1st, a banquet was held, which was attended by the leading Welshmen. The Mayor of Cape Town, Mr. William Thorne, who is a Welshman, and president of the Cambrian Society, occupied the chair. Mr. James states that it has been decided tQ form a Welsh Church on undenominational lines at Cape Town. About eighty persons have signified their willingness to join. Ser- vices are already being held every Sunday evening, with an average attendance of 120. A letter was being sent home to a committee whom the church had appointed requesting them to look out for a suitable pastor. In conclusion, Mr. James says he receives the "Welsh Gazette" every week, and the full accounts of events at dear old Aberystwyth" were very interesting reading.
Llanilar & North Cardiganshire…
Llanilar & North Cardigan- shire Agricultural Society. A meeting of the Llanilar and North Car- diganshire Agricultural Society was held on Monday at the Lion Hotel, Mr. Edward Powell, Rhydyfirian, presiding. Draft rules were submitted for considera- tion and approved.—The Secretary (Mr. Lewis Pryse) suggested that the rules of the old Society be adopted in preference to the rules of the Talybont Show.—The old rules were gone through seriatim, and amongst the principal alterations made were that a vice- president's subscription be not less than three guineas, instead of five guineas, and that the membership fee be 10s. 6d. It was also decided that all subscriptions for the year be paid not later than August 1st.—It I was pointed out that August 17th, the date originally fixed for the holding of the show, had also been fixed as the date of the Aber- ystwyth Flower Show.—A good deal of dis- cussion ensued as to fixing another date, and a proposition was made that the show be held on August 10th, and another that it be held on August 24th. On a division ten voted for holding the show on the 10th, and six that it be held on the 24th, the former proposition being carried.—It was also agreed that en- tries close on Monday, August 1st; that all animals must be bona fide property of ex- hibitor for four months prior to the show, and fed for that period within the district of that show and that all subscribers of 10s. 6d. and upwards be members of the general com- mittee.

O — The Pearl Life Assurance Company. In another column we publish the 40th an- nual report of this popular Company. In reviewing which our readers will be prepared to learn that as a whole the Com- pany has made striking headway during the year. The total number of policies issued during the year are 1,148,216 (or a weekly average of over 22,000). The Company has paid in claims £392,561 5s. 8d. during the year. It will be seen at a glance the steady growth the Company has made in the past two years, the income increase being over £280,000 that of funds £630,000. The rate of increase of funds being more than double that of income. One fresh item in the Balance Sheet this year is the £10,000 set aside by the Direc- tors for fhe benefit of the staff as a pension scheme, and this has been received with pleasure by the collectors and all concerned. A sum of £60,420 is to be distributed among the participating policy holders and share holders, this will increase the Bonus on participating policies to 30s. per cent for the year. These fresh items speak of the success and stability of the Pearl office as a solid institu- tion.
. The Board of Education and…
The Board of Education and Merionethshire.. "FURTHER STEPS" THREATENED. The annual meeting of the Merioneth County Council was held at Dolgelley on Thursday last. Mr. Morris Thomas presided. Mr. John Parry, Bala, was unanimously elected Chairman for the ensuing year and Dr. Roberts, Feist iniog(vice-chairman). The following were elected aldermen:—Messrs. W. Hughes, Dolgelley, Evan Jones, Bala, the Hon. C. H. Wynn, Rug, Andreas Rob- erts, E. P. Jones and D. G. Williams, Festin- iog, and John Evans, Barmouth, six Liberals and one Conservative. A letter was read from the Board of Edu- cation in which they said they enclosed copies of letters from correspondents of Vol- untary schools, and went on :—" It appears to the Board, from the above correspondence, that your Council are taking no steps to maintain and keep efficient such public elementary schools within the area of your Council as are not provided by them beyond paying over to the managers sums repre- senting the amounts of Parliamentary grants considered by your Council to be paid to your Council by the Board in respect of such schools. The Board do not understand what reference the payment of these grants in the above manner has to the duty laid upon your Council by the Education Act, 1902, in re- spect of these schools. Under that Act all the expenses of Voluntary schools, except such as are thereby expressly made managers' expenses, aro the liabilities of your Council to b; dis li.irged hv your Council out of the county fund. Parliamentary grants are paid to voitr Council by the Board under the pro- visions of section 18 (2) of the Act in order to sr.pplo'iii-.it this fund, and the amount of the grants received by your Council is no •3,- measure of the responsibility of your Coun- cil towards any public elementary school. I am to point out that even if such grants as are paid over to the Council were sufficient to keep efficient and maintain the schools, yet, pending the payment of these grants, debts and liabilities must be incurred or funds supplied to provide for the current necessities of the schools, and that managers of .Voluntary schools are not, except as pro- vided by section 7 (1) (d) of the Act, under a. duty to incur such funds, and further, that this duty subject as aforesaid is placed by the Act solely upon your Council. I am further to state that the facts now before the Board support the inference that your Council have not in fact provided the funds or undertaken the liabilities or debts necessary for main- taining at a standard of efficiency which your Council would seem to adopt in respect of Council schools, the Voluntary schools with- in their area. In these circumstances, the Board are of opinion that the attitude of your Council raises issues of a grave character, and suggest that it should be reconsidered In the absence of an early reply to this let- ter containing satisfactory assurances from your Council, the Board will be reluctantly compelled to consider the necessity of taking further steps in the matter." A long discussion followed, and, on the motion of Mr. J. Parry Jones, seconded by the Rev. J. Hughes, it was resolved that the resolutions passed by the Council last year not to levy a rate for Voluntary school pur- poses be confirmed.—The Clerk was instruct- ed to send the necessary reply to the Board of Education, and on the motion of Mr. W. P. Evans a small committee was appointed to watch developments, report upon any movement on the part of the Board of Edu- cation, and be in readiness for immediate action.
. The Cambrian Railways.
The Cambrian Railways. M. & M. R's SUCCESSFUL APPEAL. The bill promoted by the Cambrian Rail- ways Company was again before a committee of the House of Lords on Thursday. It pro- vides among other things for an amalgama- tion with the Mid-Wales Railway Company. Counsel for the Manchester and Milford Railway Company asked to be heard, point- ing out that that Company is in debt to the Cambrian to the extent of £60,000, and urging that in the altered circumstances the Company was entitled to some relief. The Committee decided to hear the petitioners. Counsel for the promoters claimed that the and Wales Company were entirely with them, and that the opposition was confined to the pun .ia}soi{ouej\[ uio.ij }q»p oq; jo uops Jtib Milford Company, and the objection the latter took in the circumstances to the sett- ing up of a motor car service for the working of a sparsely populated and hilly district. The promoters asked for authority to use capital for that purpose, and also to provide a system of hotels. After hearing the evid- ence the Committee decided that the position of the Manchester and Milford Company would be affected by the passing of the bill. and that consequently they would be entitled to some relief, which, however, was to relate to the future and not to the past. The Committee suggested that the parties should consider terms of an arrangement subject to which the bill would be allowed to proceed. It is understood that the relief afforded to Ihe Manchester and Milford Hailway Company amounts to £1,000 a year.
. Cardiganshire County Governing…
Cardiganshire County Governing Body "GONE TO GLORY." The last quarterly meeting of this Body was held at the Town Hall, Lampeter, on Wednesday, March 23rd. The chairman, Mr. D.

Fryer (clerk).—It was agreed on the proposition of Mr. J. C. Jones and sec- onded by Mr. Gwilym Evans, to pay a £10 exhibition to Mr. W. T. Williams, from the Reserve Fund, the "Rendel Fund available for the year being exhausted. The Clerk re- ported that during the year a total of £2,965 14s. 8d. had been received, which after de- ducting £400 from the Reserve Fund left £2,565 14s. 8d. available for distribution among the various districts.

After paying the expenditure there was a balance of about £ 40.—It was agreed on the motion of Mr. Jones and seconded by Mr. Evans that the money be transferred to the new Education Committee.—There were several other matters on the agenda, but there being no quorum no business, except that of a purely formal nature was transact- ed.—Before leaving, Mr. J. C. Jones, pro- posed a hearty vote of thanks to the Chairman and said that they wished to emphasize their appreciation of his services during the year. —The Rev. T. Gwlym Evans said that he wished to second the proposition with all his heart. Mr. Roberts had been most faith- ful, and fair in all his dealings.—Mr. C. M. Williams supported, and remarked that he hoped that the new Education Body would prove to be as pleasant a one as this Body had been.—Mr. Roberts in acknowledging, said that during his chairmanship he had only lost two meetings. Everything had been working satisfactorily, and he believed that good work had been done. He trusted that the new Education Committee would do equally well, and although they had no quorum that day, he could say that they decently buried themselves as a County Governing Body. (Laughter). Mr. Williams: It is very pleasant to have such a good and peace- ful ending.—Mr. Evans: And to leave a goodly heritage of £40 to the new Committee.

. LLECHRYD.
LLECHRYD. Bible Society Centenary.—On Sunday, meetings to mark the centenary year of the British and Foreign Bible Society were held at Llechryd. Preaching services were held in the morning at the Methodist Chapel, when the Revs. Job Evans, Moylgrove, and E. Phillips, Newcastle Emlyn, delivered eloquent discourses. In the afternoon, a public conference was held, again at the Metho- dist Chapel, Mr D. S. Jones, C.C., presiding. The meeting was opened with prayer by the Rev. H. H. Williams (C), and after a few introductory remarks by the Chairman, the Rev. Job Evans was called upon to deliver an address on the Bible. The Rev. E. Phillips, following, pave an address on the origin of the Bible Society. Both gentlemen treated their subjects in a mariner showing their complete mastery of them. In the evening, at the Con- gregational Chapel, which was fined to overflowing, the Rev. Job Evans again occupied the pulpit. Unfortunately, the Rev. Evan Phillips was unable to fulfil his engagement for this meeting owing to a somewhat serious indisposition, from which he is at present suffering, and which necessitated his return to Newcastle Emlyn after the afternoon meeting.

County Council.-Several persons are mentioned as suitable candidates for the seat which has be- come vacant on theCounty Council by the selection of Mr Vaughan Davies, M.P.. to be an alderman. Among the L names which seem to meet with the most general approval are those of Mr Edward Powell, of Nanteos, and JMr Richard Richards, B.A., of Gwarfelin. Bot'o,jii. is said, are so willing to give way to one another, that their freinds find some difficulty in getting either to come forward. Mr Richards has ^ilready had some experience of public life, and the present is considered to be a favourable opportunity Tor the scion of the much- esteemed old tamily ot Nanteos to come out.

,__--Obituary
Obituary MRS. BENJAMIN,. LONDON. Her many friends will regret to hear of the death of Mrs. Benjamin, wife of Mr. Ben- jamin, Stepney, London, which took place on Saturday afternoon last. Deceased, who was 58 years of age, had been in indifferent health for some time, and on Friday underwent an operation, from which fche did not rally. She was a daughter of John Morgan, Rhos- fawr, Blaenplwyf, and was well-known and highly-respected in Aberystwyth and the district. For many years past she had re- sided in London. She was the mother of Mrs. James Rowe, Oxford House ,North- parade Aberystwyth and sister of Mrs. Evan Fdwards, the Laurels; Mrs. Jenkins, butcher, Town Clock; Mr. John Morgan, Pentre; and Mr. Evan Morgan, Leamington. Besides Mrs. Rowe, she leaves her husband and two sons to mourn their loss. The body will arrive at Aberystwyth by the mail on Friday morning, and the funeral will take place at three o'clock from Oxford House, the interment ÎJeing made at the cemetery. MISS MORGAN, LLANDDEWI BREFI. We regret to announce the death of Miss Bessie Morgan, eldest child of the Rev. Rhys Morgan, Calvinistic Methodist minister, Llanddewi Brefi, which took place on Thurs- day last in London, at the early age of 21 years. Her death is mourned by a large circle of friends, and much sympathy is felt with the family in their bereavement. Miss Morgan had been in failing health for nearly a year, and about a fortnight before her death went to London to undergo an opera- tion. Strong hopes were entertained for her recovery, but these proved groundless, and she died in the hospital on Thursday morn- ing last. The body was removed to Llan- ddewi the same night, arriving on Friday morning. It was received at the Railway Station by a large concourse of people, and conveyed home amid manifestations of the deepest sorrow. Deceased was of a bright and winning nature, and she was beloved by all who knew her. She had been a, pupil at Tre- garon County School, where she was exceed- ingly popular amongst students. Subse- quently, she spent some time at Mr. Thomas Evans' establishment, Albion House, where she won the respect of all she came in con- tact with. She had also been for a short time in Birmingham. The funeral took place on Wednesday, and was one of the largest seen in the neighbourhood for a long time. The Rev. Daniel Jones, Llangeitho, officiated at the house. A short service was held at the chapel, which wal introduced by reading and prayer by the Rev. R. Gwmryn Jones. Short addresses were delivered by the Revs. Adams, Lampeter; John Bowen, Pont- rhydfendigaid; and Mr. G. T. Lewis, M.A., headmaster T'regaron County School. The latter paid a high tribute to deceased's moral character and her popularity at school. The choir then sang with stirring effect the an- them, Dyddiau dyn sydd fel glalswelltyn," and as the body was being taken from the chapel the Dead March was played. The interment was made at the new cemetery, and at the graveside the Rev Morgan Evans Tregaron, delivered a short address, and prayer was offered by the Rev. Carolan Davies, Tyngwndwn. The choir sang Pan bo'r niwl yn cilio," and the mourners slowly departed. The chief mourners were the Rev. Rhys Morgan and Mrs. Morgan; Miss Olive Morgan (sister) and Mr. D. J. Morgan (brother), both of whom are students at the University College, Aberystwyth; deceased's youngest sister; Mr. Morgan, draper, Ponty- pridd (uncle), Mr. Jenkins (uncle), and others. The coffin was covered with beautiful wreaths and flowers sent by relatives and friends.
. WALES IN LOIN DON.
WALES IN LOIN DON. The annual meeting of the London Welsh Mutual Improvement Societies was held on Saturday evening at the Castle-street Welsh Baptist Chapel, Mr. T. H. W. Idris in the I chair. Mr. Arthur Rowland*, the secretary, submitted an encouraging report of the year's work, especially in regard to public meet- ings, but there was some slackening of energy on the part of affiliated societies. Mr. Idris dealt with some of the features of the report, and strongly urged a keener spirit of mutual helpfulness and co-operation. Mr. Herbert Roberts, M.P., then delivered an address. Selecting as his theme the lives of a number of Denbighshire heroes, from the days of Owen Glyndwr to those of the late Thomas Gee, he deduced from their story the great lessons of making the best of opportunities, the necessity for action as well as for culture i nthe pursuit of the higher aims of life the strengthening effect of a love of the homeland, its people, and its language; and the absolute need for true strength and stability of character. The meeting was further addressed by the Rev. F. Knoyle (Hammersmith), the Rv. P. Hughes Griffith (Charing Cross Road), Mr. B. Price, and Mr. D. R. Hughes (chairman of the Union Committee). Songs were contributed by Miss Winnie Stephens an dMr. Seth Hughe6. Mr. Merlin Morgan accompanied

Barmouth District Council having invited the King to visit Barmouth when he comes to Wales, his Majesty's Private Secretary has replied that note has been made of the re- quest, but no definite reply can yet be given. Mary Sercombe, aged forty-eight, housekeeper, II was brougbt up at Westminster on Saturday on the remanded charge of libelling and threatening Lady Lisburne, her former employer. Prisoner was certified to be insane, and was ordered to be detained in an asylum. Professor C.. H. Herford, for long the pride of the U.C.W., and known to well nigh every Aberystwyth resident is eo-oper- ating in the production of a standard edition of the complete works of Ben Jonson, with Mr. Percy Simpson, who has been engaged for ten years or more on a critical examina- tion of Jonson's text. The Delegates of the Oxford press will produce the work, probably in nine octavo volumes. A marriage has been arranged between Mr Norman Frederick Hankey, Pentrebach, eldest son of the late Air Frederick Alers Hankey, M.P., of Silverla n(i s, C hertsey, an (I Gertrude, eldest daughter of Mr Gwihm C. James, J.P., Gwaelod y Garth, Merthyi, and grand-daughter of the late Mr Charles Herbert James, M.P.. Merthyr Tydfil, and of the late Mr John Rees, J.P., Aberystwyth. A work of no little interest to Cardigan shire is that of the History of the parish of Cenarth. with some account of Newcastle Emlyn, and the old parliamentary borough of Adpar, which will probably be issued next autumn. The writer, Mr. D. Pryse Wil- liams, known to his friends as Brytlionydd is a. grandson of Gwynionydd," and a nep- hew to the Rev. Hywel M. Williams, B.A., vievr of Lledrod. In its original form the manuscript was awarded the prize, by Pro- fessor John Rhys, at the Eisteddfod held at Newcastle Emlyn, in 1902. Acting on sug- gestions made by Principal Rhys, Bryth- onydd has since considerably added to his material, with the result that another his- torical work pertaining to parts of Cardigan- shire is now available for subscribers. • » Professor G. C. Macaulay's selections from Gower's Confessio Amantis' occupy 177 pages, apart from the notes. The editor observes that for linguistic purposes the text of this work is in many respects more satis- factory to deal with than that of the Canterbury Tales," since it has been handed down to us more exactly as it was written, and it was written by an author who was particularly careful in matters of language and orthography. The contents too,' Mr. Macaulay adds, are sufficiently interesting, and on the whole, no doubt, Gower represents the average literary taste of the time better than Chaucer.' Mr. Methuen Leir, Cwmcoedwig. was on Monday afternoon made the recipient of a number of presents consisting of a silver tray tea pot, cream jug and sugar basin, in ac- knowledgment of his valuable services as secretary of the North Cardiganshire Arch- ery, Croquet, Tennis and Badminton Club, which he has resigned on leaving the neigh- bourhood. The presentation was made by Mrs. Basil Jones, Gwynfryn, who has. acted as secretary to the movement, of which Mr. Loxdale Castle Hill, was treasurer. Tea was provided at the Belle Vue Hotel by Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Loxdale.

40. NATURE NOTES. True to their time, indeed on the same date when they were noticed last year, the wheat- ears, first of the oversea migrants, arrived in Cardigan Bay on the 18th. The following is a list of spring migrants which we may expect between now and May i i somewhat the order of their coming. It would be interesting if some of the readers of this column who are familiar with these birds would note the date on which they first hear or see them, and we should be pleased if they would communicate with us as the results of their observation. March: Chiff-chaff, wheat-ear, sand-ear, sand.martin, swallow. April: House-martin, yellow-wag- tail, willow.warbler, redstart, tree pipit, nightingale, whitethroat, lesser whitethroat, wryneck, cuckoo, blackcap, wood-warbler, wliinchat, ^edge-warbler, grass-hopper-warb. ler, garden-warbler, swift, turtle-dove. May: Red-backed shrike, spotted flycatcher, nightjar. On a bank where barren strawberry and coltsfoot have been in flower for weeks the tiny white flowers of the cliiekii-eed now adorn the leaves which are clambering up the roots of the thornhedge. The crowded but insignificant flower heads of the golden saxi- frage are opening and in addition to an odd primrose here and there and a glorious show of yellow celandines, the purple-pink spikes of the butterbur are inches above their still juvenile rhubarb-like leaves. HAY HARVEST IN MARCH. What must have been abnormally early or abnormally late hay-harvesting operations have just been witnessed in a field adjacent to the road which leadsfrom Brvnceithin to Pencoed, over Ponthirwaun Common. The operations were, naturally, the observed of all observers. The crop, which was a heavy one, considering the situation of the field, was cut late last summer, but on account of the prevalent very wet weather it proved impossible to secure it. The hay, therefore, remained on the ground till the fine days of last week, when it was turned, dried, cocked, and carried to make bedding or manure of it, if not to provide fodder. The occurrence is Kaid to be unique in the history of the dis- trict. "The Western Mail" for March 23.

The Selborne Society. TO BOYS AND GIRLS. Most boys and girls are lovers of wild flowers, and it is as much for their pleasure as for that or grown-up people that the Sel- borne Society seeks to protect the roota of wild flowering plants and ferns. Boys and girls are however, often very wasteful in their way of plucking wild flowers, and we advise them to adopt the following very excellent rules for gathering flowers: 1. When in the country do not ruthlessly pull up or pick every flower you come across when you first set off upon your ramble. Gather your flowers if possible in the latter Sart of the day when they will be less likely to ie, and when you are more likely to get the best that the locality affords. 2. Do not entirely strip one place of flowers, whatever they may be, when by tak- ing a few from different places you can avoid damaging the appearance of the spot. 3. Do not pluck flowers which by nature fade directly, such as wood anemones and wood sorrel, which never look half so well in vases as in their native place. 4. Do not dig up flower roots at the time of flowering for this is the worst possible time for transplanting: it is better to protect them in the places where they grow naturally. 5. If a locality is noted as the home of a particular species, do not make it your aim to dig up all the plants which you can find. 6. Do not root up ferns at all. There are many parts of England where they are scarce- ly to be seen, not because they do not by nature grow there, but because they have been torn up by tramps who go about the country and make a living by selling them. Refuse even to buy of these men when they .ffer you the ferns for sale. 7th and lastly. Nature is governed by the ordinary laws of common sense, therefore let your common sense govern your love of Nature. All these fragile lovely things being at your mercy, on 'that account tHerefore be merciful. The minimum Annual Subscription to the Society, which entitles a subscriber to a Monthly copy of the Society's Magazine (Nature Notes), is 5s.
