HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS.—Shortness of Breath, Coughs, and Colds.— thousands-of testi- monials can be produced to prove the power possessed by these corrective remedies in cases of asthma, incipient consumption and all disorder-, oi j the chest and lungs. The Ointment, well rubbed upon the chest and back, penetrating the skin, is absorbed and carried directly to the lungs, where. in immediate contact with the whole mass of circulating blood, it neutralises or expels those impurities, which are the foundation of consump- tion, asthma, bronchitis, pneumonia, and similar complaints. On the appearance of the first con. sumptive symptoms the back and chest of the patient should be fomented with warm brine, dried with a coarse cloth, and Holloway's Ointment then well rubbed in. Its absorption will subdue advancing symptoms, and baffle this formidable foe.

Mr Thomas ex- plained the bill in detail, and pointed out 'hat the result of the conferences, at Llandrindod and Catdiff, and the thousands of replies be had received to the circulars, had teen that he had ascertained the pinions of representative men of W ties as to the provisions of the measure. He ii id carefully considered all the suggestions made and was preptred to eo amend the bill as to ptovide I that the powers of the Local Government Boaid and the Charity Commissioners in Wales should ..e iraurferred to the proposed Welsh National Council, and not conferrt-d on the Minister for Wales, it being the general opinion that under the bill as drafted too much power w..s vested in the Minister and too little work given to the Natiooal Council. The mode of electing members of the National Council would also be changed, so that one representative be elected directly by the people in each parliamentary division, and another appointed by elicn County Council and county borough cou ncil in Wales. Mr Lloyd Gt orge and Mr P, irúhrd Morgan supported the bill, and a resolution in its favour >a unanimously adopted SAQ SUIOIDE OF A MEDICAL 6TUDENT NEAR J PORTMADoc.-An inquest was held on Tuesday oy Dr. Hunter Hughes, coroner, on the body of Alfred William Geoffrey Poole, medical student, isged twen y, who was found dead in the snow in I a field near Portmadoc on Sunday morning.

FOR EVERY DAY.
FOR EVERY DAY. Charles Kingsley, being asked by a little girl to write something in her album, complied with the request, and penned the following noble and undying veraes:— My fairest child, I have no song to give you; No lark could pipe in skies so dull and grey Yet, if you will, one quiet hint I'll leave you For every day. I tell you how to sing a clearer carol' Than lark who hails the dawn or breezy down; To earn yourself a purer poet's laurel Thau Shakespeare's crown. Be good, sweet maid, and let who can be clever Do lovely things, not dream them, ail day long; Aud so make Life, Death, and that vast For Ever, One grand, sweet song. +
A LITTLE WANDERER.
A LITTLE WANDERER. Just a. little dark-eyed maiden In our crowded cisy street, With the stir of life around her, And the snow beneath her feet; But her sweet songs seem to bear us Where the glad sun warmly shines, To the peaceful home of peasants, And the gJow of purple vims. Hark she tells of feast and laughter, Merry children at their play, Simple toil that turns to music At the closing of the day. Now a lullaby she's chanting, Hashed a id dreamy, soft and slow, Just as baby brother loved it When she rocked him to and fro. And the song to which we listen, Till we turn away and sigh, Is the song her mother taught her In the happy days gone by. Cheer your heart, 0 little singer, There are friends here kind and true; You can ne'er be poor and homele-s While we help and love you too! ELLIS WALTON. —From Little Folks Magazine for January.

THE BISHOP OF Sr. ASAPH'S FiouttFs.-Wo are requested to insert the following extract from the Bishop of St. Asaph's letter iu the pimes, writtea on March 29tb, 1S90:—1" In St. Peter's parish, Carmarthen, with a population of 4,541 and no resident gentry, the vicar's income is under £250 a year. The parish has contributed during tne last ten years, in voluntary offerings, more than Y,1,000 a year; £260 a year »vas con. tributed in the parish itself towards the mainten- ance of the clergy. A house-to-house census, ior the accuracy of which I can vouch, showed in 1886 that, out of a population of 4,544, the Chu,-ch ptople numbered 1,536, while the number of com-, uiunicanls on Easter Day was 432. During tile f last year, in addition to all this, a new VVelsh] church, at a cost of over 92,000. has been built, in I St. Peter's parish." The Bishop (says our corres- potideni) id traversing a statement made by M,I Osborne Morgan in the debate on the Tithe Bid, to the tffeeb t-Liat in 749 Welsh parishes the free-j wi.l offerings amounted iu one year o iy toi zC4 738, or at the rate of £ 7 a. year. Instancing j the parishes of Brymbo and Sr. Peter's, Car-j marthen, the Bishop shows the free-will offerings of Churchmen in those parishes alone exceeded 1II! two years the annutl total which Me Oaboruoj Morgan gives for 748 parishes iu Wales.

FOOTBALL NOTES -1 BY "CENTRE." Dwing to the most unfavourable weather on Satur- ty Week several matches were abandon, d. now Iered the ground several inches, which made it fipossible to play upon. Jihavader should have been i; Newtown, but the home officials very wisely c'm- illed the match. Amongst the Newtown fixture list (notice the following :— I January 23—v. Rliayadsr at Rhayader. 1 30—v. Ironbridge at Newtown. j February 13-v. Rhayader at Newtown. 20—v. Wellington St. G-eorgre's at Newtown. r 27—v. "WkitcUarch at Newtown. # # T.M.

Are they on the hunting system again i The lovers' captain is in Scotland. Surely Johnny For!)d .aen't taken to man-hunting? If they want a hange in their team they should first look at some of ,heir reserve men. Sanderson, for instance, as a (outre-for ward, is worthy of South«or:h's best form. Harry Wood, the popular captain of the riitng Blackpool club, died somewhat sudden last week. At me time Wood belonged to Accrington, and was righly respected by a large circle of football admirers. Deceased has left a wife and child in rather poor jircumstances, and the Blackpool Club are organising a. subscription list for their benefit.
