Bangor National Eisteddfod. Acceptance of Pavilion Tender. Colwyn Bay Band Engaged. AT Monday night's meeting. of the Bangor Na- tional Eisteddfod Executive Committee, the Mayor (Alderman Henry Lewis) presiding, a letter from Lord Castletown was. read, intimat- ing1 his wil-ingness to act as president of one of the Eisteddfod meetings. A similar letfter was read from Lord Kenyon. Sir R. Bulkeley, while acknowledging a simi- lar request, was doubtful as to whether he should 'be at home on the date. The Orchestra. The 'Music Committee repented that Mr D. Ffrangcon: Davies 'had offered to sing the Chair Song, and the offer was accepted with thanks. The committee also recommended that the sum of forty guineas allocated for the brass hand 'competition be divided into two prizes. of thirty and 'ten guineas respectively. Professor Lewis Jones, moved the recision of passed by the last meet'rg cf l.?he -i r?-s L- ,?. I Executive- Committee to engage the iband of the Royal Engineers for the Eisteddfod concerts. Dr Taylor Jonessecondec1 the motion, and gave as a reason 'that What was really required was a pure orchestra and not a mixed band such as that of the Royal Engineers. The Music Committee held, the opinion of the only bands in view the Colwyn- Ray Band was the best. Dr Rogers, 'the appointed1 conductor, de- clared that he 'Would' not do the work unless the committee provided an efficient orchestra, for the concerts were too good to be. handicapped as -proposed. Besides, it was 'hardly fair to en- gage a band which was really paid by the pub- lic in- 'competition' •with- professional musicians. Mr Owen Owens strongly opposed the re- cision, affirming that the Royal Engineers band was Igood enough for anything required of them. After some discussion it was discovered that the Royal Engineers' conductor had declined the committee's terms. Mr T. J. Williams seconded a proposal by Mr Owen. Owen Ito engage the Royal Engineers ,ba-,id.. After i prolonged discussion it was de- cided' by a large majority to adopt the recorn- mendiatiion of the -Music Committee to engage a 'band to be supplied by M. Lalande, of Colwyn Day. The Pavilion. The Building Committee reported that the lowest tender sent in fc)- the pavilion was that of Messrs J. and IL Williams, Upper Bangor, frr ^1,133, which the commilttee. recommended should be accepted. The Mayor reported that the size of the pavilion had been reduced from one holding 10,000 to one seating S,ooo. The recommendation of the Building Com- mittee, as well as those of the Music Committee, was adopted. The Conductor. Cynonfardd wrote thanking the committee for the offer to engage him as conductor for the Eisteddfod at a fee of -zio, but as it would cost him ^30 to do so, the committee would see that he was in a difficulty. (Hear, hear). Mr Owen Owen proposed that Mabon be en- gaged, but on the motion of L. D, Jones the matter was referred ito a sub-committee, it being stated that Cynonfardd1 would be in Bangor shortly, when he could be consulted on the matter.

New Post Office for Llan a dudno. THE designs for a .new post office at Llandudno, v?ii -ere preparc3. sor?-.ia time ?ago, Iitve iio-,?,l I i,c?li Nv N been approved by the Postmaster-General and .the Treasury, and .the erection: of building, the architect of which is Mr G. A. Humphreys, is to be commenced forthwith. The n'ew office si?tu,ated most at ?.qe corn--r I1)?f V?,gha-q-street a.,ilcl about ioo fhe en e to he ra,i,l,?y s, illoi i,), L, a, I I and adjoining the n'ew Mostyn. Art Gallery. It is to cost from £ ~-voo to ZS,000, to be of hand- some elevation, and' to contain ample accommo- dation of the most modern character for the .pun! c ;nd the staff. It will be leased by the owners to the Post Office authorities. A branch office will be opened in or near the present head office building, so that there will be no.inconvenience to the residents at the upper end of the town. When ,the new head office is completed .and in use a considerible saving of time and expense will be effected in conveying the bulky mails, a term especially ap- plicable to the growing parcel post traffic, to and; from the railway station.

-— The Welsh Calvinistic Methodists' churches of London have in 'recent years more than doubled their membership. They have now 16 churches and preaching stations, with ten or- dained pastors, eight lay preachers, and 4,005 ■.communicants. IÆSit year they raised for all purposes £856.

Rhyl Urban District Council. The Jetty Question. I The Pagoda. R Councillor H. A. Tilby presided over Monday's meeting of this Council. It was reported that only one tender had been received for the proposed pagoda on the island in the lake, that it had not been opened, and that the question had been d ferred. Mr J. H. Ellis protested against this course, as he was firmly convinced that the erection of the structure would add to the attractions of the lake Mr Robert Jones said the pagoda question had been much discussed in the recent election, some saying the pagoda was a waste of money. The town seemed to be divided on the question, for it was said he was put at the bottom of the poll because he supported the pagoda, while his fdona Mr Frimston was put at the bottom of the poll because he opposed it. (Laughter.) It was ex- plained thai some misunderstanding had arisen with Mr Hudson, lessee of the lake, as to his right to the island under the lease. Mr J. H. Ellis said he did not desire in any way to interfere with Mr Hudson's tenancy, but, to aId him in making the lake a success, He moved that the surveyor of the Council should undertake the work at a cost not to exceed £;)00. After some discussion the rnitter was dropped on the understanding that it should come up at the next committee meeting. A Case of Intimidation. THE GOVERNMENTS ARROGANT POSITION. Mr Stafford Howard, of the Office of Woods and Forests, wrote declining to sell to the Council a site for the proposed jetty on tho foreshore, and stating that the only sale which would be enter- tained would be that of the whole of the fore- shore in the Foyrd at present in the possession of the Crown, Mr J H. Ellis moved that the members of Par- liament for the county be asked to raise the question in Parliament, as this was a question of intimidation, with a vengeance. He alse moved that the Council agree to pay the fee of a valuer to be sent down by the Office of Woods and Forests. Mr A. L. Clews seconded, remarking that they would be only justiiied if they could do so for a reasonable price. Frimston said they had had past ex- perience of Woods and Forests methods, and had had to pay very high prices for the land they IHid bought previously from that Department He suggested that; a deputation from the Council who were going up to London this week should inter- view the Department in the matter. Mr F. J. Gamlin said the position t,licii up by this Government Department was a most arrogant one. Mr J. W. Jones said lie hoped they would make some representation against the sending down again of the valuer who was sent down by the Department on previous occasions He had reported against the Council in regard to the jetty and as to the pavilion. The action of the Department had hampered that and other local authorities. Rhyl was absolutely prohibited by the action of the Department from proceeding with their scheme for the erection of a place for the amusement of the people during the coming season. The Chairman, while supporting the motion, decided to dissociate himself from the extravagant language used by Councillors Gamlin and J. W. .Toues.. Some years ago that Council had the opportunity of purchasing the whole of the fore- shore, but unwisely they chose to buy only the part which suited their purposes at that time, with the result—which was cleariy pointed out at the time aa being likely to occur—that tho re- mainder had boeti gaining an unearned increment of value which the Council would now have to pay for. The Council decided that the deputation should wait upon the oiViciala of the Department of Woods and Forests, and if dissatisfied with the result that they should respectfully request the assistance of the- local members of Parliament. It was further agreed that the fee for the pro- posed valuation of the foreshore in the Foryd be allowed.

More Councillors Required for Bettws=y=Coed. Application Opposed. of the application made by the Urban District Council to the County Council, for an increased number of urban councillors, Mr Eliaa Jones and Mr Jones Morris, as com- missioners, on behalf of the county authority, sat at; the Court here, on Friday, to hear evidence on the question. Mr J. E. Humphreys, Llanrwst, appeared for the Council In stating the case for hIS clients, he pointed out that when the district was formed into an urban area, the district was of far loss importance than at present, and io was only reasonable that they be allowed to appoint at least two additional members. Mr Humphreys proved by Statistics that there had since been a material increase, both in population and rateable value. Mr Robert Parry (chairman oil the Urban Council) gave evidence in support of this opjuing statement. Mr London opposed the application, and said that unless tho district was made into two wards, the outlying district would b8 unfairly treated in view of the voting pawer being in the village. Tho villagers would of course support their own cause before that of tda rural district Mr Humphreys asked Mr London where he lived. Mr London replied that he resided in Old Bettws. Mr Humphreys asked him where Mr Robert Parry lived. Mr London replied that he lived in tho new part of the village. Mr Humphreys then promptly quashed the opposition by remarking that Mr Robert Parry, though he was a resident in the new portion of the village, had just been returned ny the electors at the top of tho poll. Mr Corns, the retired station master, was tho only other opponent of the application, and his sole opposition was on the ground that the present representation was goad enough under the cir- cumstances. The general opinion ia that the opposition was poor.

Care of Stock in Spring. Tiii.- spring is a busy time for tlhe stock-keeper, for it is the time of increase. Another thing about this time of the year is that it is the time for turning the sliiock ouit ito pasture. The British 'spring, so far 'as the weather -is con- cerned, is no more reliable thain other seasons, ,and, for tthis .reason it behoves the stock-keeper to exercise ia little discretion in the turning out of his stock, so that they may not suffer from the change. TURNING OUT STOCK. It some districts it is the custom to- turn right out ifrom the house to the pasture; in others the aniiirals lare turned out during the day for a week or two before Heaving out at nightals well. It is, perhaps, scarcely necessary to add that the former of these two methods is one to be condemned, there being grave risk 01 dhill by the c-hiange being a so decided one. Some farm- ers miake it the rule to turn out their stock per- nranenftly upon .a certlain date, no matter wfliat the weather may be like. This plan, when the weather is welt, is lar severe strain upon the con- stitution of the lanim-als, and has nothing to ■offer las compensation for risks run. During dry weather, even if cool, stock may ibe turned out without if&ar so long as the pasture is fairly sheltered and the food abundant, but when the weather is wet, :so la9 to make the rg.rounc1 damp for Itlie animals to lie down upon, the turning out by night had better be postponed for a few days longer. BREEDING STOCK. Spring is the time when the mia-res are foaling, when lambs are forthcoming, and when calves are most plentiful. Any animal that is ex- pected to bring forth young 'sihould 'be housed, though should the weather be;mild and a I at hia,L' a. 7U' 'I oUt by daV will be 'beneficial to both mother -and offspring. Should the weather be very variable, no matter how careful and experienced the stock-keeper mayA some of the- animals will be thrown out of sorts, 'and when this happens a removal tocùsy quarters and a little appetising and strengthening food is of more value than physic, though ia gentle laxative will do no harm. The firat week after turning out is 'generally the most critical, 'and, if at the end of tih-is per- iod the Istock -all seen> healthy and vigorous, any -ailments that may crop up afterwards may be -put down to unavoidable causes, or, at least, causes umcannected with the turning out.

Death and the Camera. OF all itlie many purposes to which the camera is applied, that of providing a picture of fea- tures of loved ones, to be preserved after they have been removed by death, is amongst the most useful. In this connection an interesting- experience has been related' by a Hull woman. She was considered so ill that her death was a mere question of time. In view of that fact, her friends persuaded her to have her photo- graph taken. She did, so, but soon after, she began to try Chas. Forde's Bile Beans, and in consequence, she is to-day .as he.althy -as ever j n her life. Her name is Mrs A. Tong, and she re- sides in Gordon-avenue, Woodcock-street, Hull. Here is her story:—"Ever since I can remem- ber I have suffered from liver complaint. This became chronic, and in the end disordered and rendered diseased my whole system. After mar- riage I became worse. With :the birth of everv child my condition grew more serious. On one occasion, although my mother was dyin«\ I was so ill -that I was not permitted to go and see, her. Often when I have been out l"hava been seized with dizzy fits, and have had to grasp the railings OT anything near me to prevent me from falling. I was never free from biliousness, and; I was -so weak that I could hardlv walk. I usecl to be sick at the very sight of food. For davs at a stretch I have never broken my fast, and when I did it was only a little dry toast or a biscuit tnat I could eat. I became wasted -away until I was almost like a shadow. Some time ar>o I was an out-partient at the Royal Infirmarv, bUlt despite the 'best medica-l treatment, 1 f^o't »~> better." 0 "I ^Was very nervous, and the least thing would! upset me. Indeed, I could not bear mv chil- dren to play aiear me. My Qon'g illness wrecked my nerves and so affected my mind that I Nvi, afraid at tii.mes to be left 'a'lone with the chil- dren. I had such pain in my head that I feared I might do them some mischief. I verilv. thought that I should have to be removed to the asylum. One doctor suggested that I should go into the hospital to be operated on., for I felt as though I was becoming blind. My sight was obscured conttinuously by a miist. "Did you go into the infirmary?" asked the reporter. £ <No," said Mrs Tong; "I was told that unless I was operated on I should only live three years, but I said I would- live as long as I could. I felt, however, that I could not last long, and went and sat for a photograph with my husband, so that when I was gone mv friends would have some remembrance of me." 14Well You certainly don't look like a woman who has been at death's door," said the reporter. "No," replied Mrs Tong: "perhaps I do not, but for this I have only Bile Beans to thank." "How did you come to give Bile- Beans a trial?" queried the representative. "lvell I sent for a box one day just when I felt like dying. The first few doses seemed to have a Wonderful effect upon me, so I continued to take them. You may believe me or not, but a few boxes cured me of my defective sight and made me so well again that I went out and washed clothes in order to get money to buy more Bile Beans! As I took the medicine my ailments vanished. and I got better and' better until I am once again enjoying good health. I have never since been without Chas. Forde's Biie Beans in the house, and' T never intend' This is but one case out of hundreds which prove the merit of Bile Beans. They nevr fail to cure all disorders of the liver and kidneys, dizziness, anaemia, indigestion, constipation, blood impurities, eruptions, weakness, and all female ailments. Of all chemists, is 1 d or 2s yd per box. Beware of imitations, which are. all worthless.
