FOR WOMEN FOLK1
FOR WOMEN FOLK1 Homely Hints & Dainty Dishes. WITH PARS. INTERESTING TO THE MERE MAN. Long engagements are rather expensive affairs in Russia. The bridegroom-elect is expected to send his financee a present daily- not merely flowers, as in France, but some- thing more practical. A clear soup looks better when a few green peas or a few pieces of celery are added, as they increase the brilliancy of the soup; and a thick soup is greatly improved by the addition of a few small croutons, and so on. The toast looks more inviting when cut into strips or trianeles. or with the corners neatly cut off if served in whole slices. To Make Bread Without Yeast To make bread without yeast or baking- powder, take two quarts of boiling water, one ounce of salt, and three cups of meal. Put the salt into a sauce-pan, pour in the boiling water, strew three culoe of meal on it gradu- ally, but do not stir it, then cover closely, putting a cloth between the lid and pan to absorb the steam. Set it over-night in the warmest corner of the stove. Early the next morning stir into it a cup of boiling water, stand the saucepan on some hot ashes, where it will soon begin to ferment. When ready for use it will have a frothy appearance and a disagreeable odour. Pour it into six pounds of meal or flour, mix with warm water, and knead into dough; let it rise and bake quickly. Why Not Eat Foreign Meat J There is an abST-d prejudice in the minds of many housekeepers against foreign meat. The economy of it is undeniable in helping to make both ends meet, and if carefully cooked it is certainly more than equal to the inferior cuts of English meat, which are all that could be bought for the same price. It is often possible to buy a large piece of beef, especially on Saturday night, at an especially cheap rate. It is always wise to take advantage of such a bargain, as if too large for immediate use it can be cut in half, and one part put into the pickling pan for a week. Nothing is more delicious, if properly prepared, than a round of spiced pressed beef. How to Live on Twopence a Day The question of how little food is sufficient to support life has been studied by an Indian doctor in the most practical manner, the doctor having subjected himself to a diet experiment for six weeks. In support of his theory that a man's daily food should only cost him sixpence, the doctor lived for the first seven days on bread, milk, fruit, and vegetables, coating only 3s. Id., and having a daily weight of a little over half a. pound. His health remained perfect, and his weight did not diminish, so for the second week he took prepared farinaceous food, milk, and fruit, consuming daily a little over 9 Joz., and then felt so strong that he gave up milk and lived on threepence a day. In the fourth week he took half a pound of food daily, at a cost of twopence, and tried soup, pudding, and eggs, but this did not answer, and for the fifth and the sixth weeks he lived on 8 i oz. to 9oz. daily. He carefully avoided stimulant-s and tobacco, and finally declared that he had experienced a constant increase of physical strength and power of work. How to Cook Onions I This highly nutritive vegetable would be more freely used in every household if its medicinal properties were more fully appre- ciated. Onions should be prepared in some shape, and eaten at least three times a week. People who eat onions often sleep better, are not so nervous, have fewer colds, coughs, and liver troubles. If troubled at all with wakefulness eat a large onion before retiring. Most people prefer onions boiled, which is the best way of using them. Spanish onions, which are imported to this country during the winter months, are, when properly roasted, equal to many preserves. This kind also makes a nice supper dish, being simply boiled a-ad seasoned with salt, pepper, and butter. Stewed Spanish onions are a favourite accompaniment to roast shoulder of mutton. Always put onions to cook in cold water. They should be cooked in plenty of water to prevent them turning dark; as soon as tender drain them. To peel them without affecting the eyes, remove the loose outside, and hold the onion under water while peel- ing. Let the onion, knife, and hands be completely covered. This recipe for scalloped onions makes a very nice dish:- Peel, slice, and boil until tender; put a layer of onions in a baking dish, covered with fine breadcrumbs, add salt and pepper, and bits of butter. Repeat until the dish is full, putting the crumbs on top. Add enough sweet milk to cover, and bake for twenty minutes.

Passing Pleasantries.I
Passing Pleasantries. He sits alone, in a darkened room, alone in the fading light. Why is his brow so heavy with gloom, and his cheeks so deadly white? Hut, though his heart is faint with care, hia courage never blanobm. His eyes are fixed in a glassy stare. What is it his firm hand clenches? "A little courage," he murmurs; yes, a little, and all is won." A choking gurgle, more or less-a gasp, and the deed is done! Without a shudder or eyelid wink- ah! it makes the heart reooil, that he should so quietly, calmly drink a dose of castor oil! She was not young, but she had money. "Dearest," he began, but she stopped him. "I anticipate what yon are about to say, Mr. Simkins," she said; and I would spare your feelings, for it can never be. I esteem you highly, and will be a sister to- I have four sisters already," he inter- rupted, bitterly; four grown-up sisters—and life is a hideous burden. But, oh, Clara," he went on, passionately, it yon cannot be my wife, will you not give me a mother's pro- tecting love? I am an orphan." ABSENT-MINDED. "Butterby is awfully absent-minded." "What is his latest?" "He was driving a. nail and hammered his thumb. He howled and put the nail in his month and tried to fling his thumb on the floor.

The Inter-town Athletic .…
The Inter-town Athletic Meeting. I WHAT THE CHAMPIONS ARE DOING. I Cardiff Athletics: Alfred Shrubb to Run at Swansea. I hear that Newport have decided to hold an inter-town sports. This information being from an outside source, I am unable to give any particulars, but in any case I think it is now time a meeting was called to consider' and discuss the matter. I shall be glad if the secretaries of different amateur clubs, who think they ci!,n send a team from their town (either cycling or running), will communicate with me at onoe, as I hope to move in the matter shortly. As I pointed out in my notes a little while ago, the inclusion of cycle events will greatly add to the interest of the gather- ing, and it is partly for that purpose I am anxious a meeting should be held. Another reason is that there is little likelihood of the meeting becoming a recognised annual affair while things move on the present basis. It is absolutely necessary that a proper board of control be elected and a fund started, and until this is done the meeting will only come off at such times as when clubs line, the Swansea Football and Cricket Club and the Newport Athletic Club feel disposed to take the matter on their shoulders. Of course, I fully recognise the sporting spirit which moves the committees of these clubs to such good actions; but why leave it to any one club? Why not form an association for the purpose, with its own fund to work and finance the whole thing? A proper list of rules and regulations must be drawn up to conduct such a meeting, and things of this sort cannot be done hurriedly at the last moment. There can be no doubt that such meetings could be worked out to show a splendid profit, part of which could be distributed to the charitable institutions of the different towns after creating a reserve fund for the associa- tion. I see my article on Jack O'Leary has brought him in a challenge from W. Palmer, and that O'Leary has accepted the challenge for a distance up to ten miles for 125 a-side in an enclosed ground, the gate to go to the Cardiff Infirmary. After throwing out the challenge I hope Palmer will accept the terms if only for the sake of assisting the funds of the Cardiff Infirmary. A good gate should result with practically no expense. I see the Cardiff boilermakers are setting a good example by holding an amateur run- ning and cycling sports. I hope they will have a fine day and a "bumper" gate. I am pleased to see so many amateur meetings are shortly to be held in South Wales, and hope they will all be successful. F. Appleby, of the Herne Hill Harriers, who so readily defeated Shrubb, and set up a world's record from 12k to 15 miles at Stamford Ii Bridge last July, and who announced his re- tirement from the path at the latter end of last season, has decided to return to it again, and is already training for the four miles championship. L. F. Tremeer, the London sprinter (who is no stranger to South Wales athletes), is at present moving in fine form, and will, doubt- less, give a lot of trouble in the 100 yards championship at Northampton on July 4. Tho Blackheath harrier, B. J. Blunden, is a greatly improved runner this year, and should be there or thereabout in the half-mile championship. The Irish mile champion, J. J. Daly, did a good performance a week back in running 1,000 yards in 2min. 19sec. J. B. Milne and R. G. Murray, the Scottish jumpers, will again take part in the cham- pionships. Milne, who is only a "little 'un," cleared the bar at Stamford last July at 6ft., and at the Edinburgh Harriers' Sports a fort- night ago cleared 5ft. lliin., and Murray did an inch less. R. W. Wadsley, who is again in this country, has competed in a couple of handicaps with- out success. It is understood that this is Wacsiey's last season on the track, as he takes to himself a wife, previous to again leaving for California, where he intends settling. W. Hiles, of the Salford Harriers, who created quite a record last season by winning something like seven 10-guinea sprints in su-c- cession, put in a rattling performance over 220 yards at the Bollington Sports, winning the handicap from scratch in 22 4-5sec. He will want some beating over the distance. C. H. Jupp, who, so unfortunately broke down last season just before the champion- ships, when he appeared to have a great chance in the 220 yards, is again moving well, and Wadsley will have to run right up to his best form to shake him off. It is understood that both Joe Binks and G. W. White, the one mile and 440 yards cham- pions, will compete in the half mile handicap at Herne Hill on June 27. The meeting will be watched with great interest, as it is just pos- sible both men will have a cut at the half mile championship this year instead of defend- ing their titles in the mile and quarter. A half miler from Northumberland in the per- son of W. Tait is spoken of as having more than an outside chance in the half-mile cham- pionship. It is announced that the great Alfred Shrubb is a likely competitor at the Swansea Licensed Victuallers' Sports at the cricket field on August Bank Holiday. This should mean a record gate for the meeting, as teiiruob win be worth going a long way io see. I am glad to see by the columns of the "Western Mail" that some of the athletes of Cardiff are waking up to the fact that their oniy chance of securing more amateur meet- ings in the town is by taking the matter up themselves, and forming a good ctab. It will be remembered that I pointed this out to them some time since. Now is a favourable time to start the proposed club, as nearly everybody more or less is taking an interest in athletics, and if the new club were to cater for walkers as well as runners I am sure plenty of funds would be forthcoming from enthtleipats at the docks. It certainly is time something was done at Cardiff to put amateur athletics on a sound basis. It seems absurd to tnink that only one amateur meeting for runners was held at Cardiff last year, when there are so many amateur runners in the town. The recent peg-leg race at Cardiff appears to have given great dissatisfaction in the han- dicapping, and I have received several letters on tne subject. I have been asked for my opinion, and I am bound to say that if my information is correct a great injustice has been done to some of the competitiors. Mr. T. A. Morse, the old Cardiff harrier, writes me as follows: — I should like your opinion as regards the sealed handicap in the peg-leg race last Saturday. One of my friends, who is 36 years of age, with only about six inches of left leg, competed and finished eleventh, and I read in the "Express" of a man named Mil- ward, who is 46 years of age, finishing fifth, and neither of them was given a prize in the sealed handicap, but a. man named Thomas, only 23 years of age, finished nine- teenth, and was awarded first prize; Collins, 35 years of age, finished twentieth, and was awarded second prize, and J Reed, 44 years of age, finished 21st was given third prize, the fourth prize going to J. Bowden, eighteen years of age, who finished seventh. Being an old harrier, and knowing some- thing about sealed handicaps, I contend there is something wrong somewhere, and we should liko your opinion on the matter. I have already given my opinion above, but it must not be forgotten that there may have been considerations which influenced the han- dicapping. I am informed by Police-constable A. Clarke, of Cardiff, that it is just possible he will com- pete again for the police championships.

ICARNARVONSHIRE LIBERALS.
CARNARVONSHIRE LIBERALS. Mr. Birrell and the Awakening of His Party. Last night a demonstration under the aus- pices of the North Carnarvonshire Liberal Association took place at Llandudno, at which Mr. Augustine Birrell, President of the National Liberal Federation, had been an- nounced to speak. The following letter from him was read to the meeting by Mr. William Jones, M.P. :— "My dear Jones,—Nothing but the pressure of political work could have kept me away from Llandudno, a place I have loved from my earliest days. To have gone there and met your political friends and supporters would have made a delightful holiday, but this is no time for holidays, as there is much to be done before it can be said that our party is ready in every constituency in England and Wales to fight for religious liberty and free trade at the next general election. But every day makes us the readier for this conflict. Candi- dates are forthcoming in considerable num- bers, organisations that have fallen asleep are waking up, old friends are returning to their old folds, and it is because I am busily en- gaged in promoting this movement that I ask to be forgiven for not being upon your plat- form." Mr. William Jones delivered an address on Mr. Chamberlain's proposals, which he con- demned, and the meeting terminated.

HAIN THE PURIFIER
HAIN THE PURIFIER Some of the rain which fell in the Strand, London, during the late storms was caught and analysed with a view to ascertaining how much solid matter it had absorbed during ita fall through the air. The Lancet gives the result, and, taking the rainfall as 3.8in. in five days, or, for London county 6,437,229,860 gallons of water, points out that this enormous volume represents the washing out of 3,738 tons of solid impurities, of which 330 tons consisted of common salt, 267 tons of sulphate of ammonia, and 2,000 tons of soot and suspended matters. Regarding the combustion of one ton of coal to produce 201b. of ammonium sulphate (a very fair average) the quantity of coal represented by the ammonium sulphate washed out by the storm would be 29,904 tons. It need hardly be added that the purification is not only, as is here shown, mechanical, physical, and cheoncaj, but bacteriological also.
[CRICKET IN THE RAIN
[CRICKET IN THE RAIN A Story Suitable to the Season. REQUIRING LARGE FAITH IN LONG MEMORIES I met him at Lord's, in the pavilion there. Or was it the refreshment-room? I cannot, exactly determine for the moment. Anyhow, that was where I soon discovered myself communing with him over a Scotch-and-soda. Outside raindrops the size of individual peas were falling in hopeless masses. It had been like this for nigh on three days, and the ground having been success- fully reduced to a quagmire was fast becom- ing a lake. Cricket was utterly out of the question, and the prospect at the time of any further play —this year-seemed distinctly remote. I suppose I must have been thinking of this aloud, and my remarks attracted his atten- tion. He was rather a strange-looking person, somewhat tall and thin, with a pronounced stoop of the shoulders, from which "hung" a mackintosh of an obsolete pattern. His face was thin and (with the exception of his nose, which suggested expense) pale. From beneath the brim of an antiquated "wide awake" pro- truded locks of scraggy and unkempt hair, nea.r a shade of green. He regarded me long and earnestly, and, having, apparently, satisfactorily "read me," observed in a voice that sounded strange and distant: ,No, sir, you're wrong!" I could not confess to knowing what he referred to, but I felt strangely interested, and involuntarily inquired whether he pre- ferred "it" neat or otherwise. Presently he again spoke, this time with conviction, and said, "You seem to betray a certain amount of intelligence, but I tell you, sir, you're wrong! In my day we played in all sorts of weather-rain, storm, flood, and eunshine, just the same—we played." As he said this a. curious light oame into his eyes, and I noticed him glance contemptu- ously in the direction of a group of the "weather-bound" cricketers. I felt the query I was about to inflict upon him dissolve. "Let me tell you," he said, as he drank off my Scotch, "men are only paper now to what they were in my day. I remember one match, in which I was the central figure.' Here his voice trembled with emotion, and a far-away look oame in his eyes (in the direction of the bar, I thought, so was con- strained to order more drink). "Yes," he at length resumed, "it was a game that we had been playing for five days, during which time the opposing side had been at the wickets and had made 1,650 runs-a large total, you say?—no, that was considered ordi- nary in my day. "My side then went in, and after four days' batting, just fell short of this total by 130 runs. I was out of form, and only made Zl2 or 273. "The deficit, though seemingly so small, was a big one, or made to feel so, as on the eleventh day of the match, rain started to fall, and continued for many weeks after- wards. "The rain naturally helped the bowlers, and we succeeded in getting the opposition out second innings for a moderate total, buit by this time the downpour was increasing in vigour, and the prospects of my side winning were not bright. "Wanting something like 1,400 odd rnns to win, an unfortunate start was made by my Tide, half the wickets going down for a paltry 300 odd. "By this time the water on the field was quite six inches deep, and the bowlers were getting a lot of work on the ball. "When I went in on the fourteenth day six wickets were down for 420, and we still re- quired over a thousand runs. The water at this stage was a foot deep. "But I played the innings of my life then." {Here his emotion became so great that it was several "Scotches" before he could resume). "Yes," he at length continued, "the innings of my life. Day after day I kept the bowlers at bay—the water and my score steadily rising. "Several cyclones occurred, but still I went on steadily and gallantly. "On the seventeenth my score was 733. Two more wickets had been washed away—I should say had fallen—and we still required over 200, with only two more wickets to fall. "At this time the water was three feet deep, and two of the opposing side had been gowned in attempting catches. "Bat still I went on, and on the nineteenth day only 50 runs were required. Thunder- storm after thunderstorm failed to impress me, but at length the water, which had been mounting very rapidly reached my armpits when I only wanted eight to obtain my thou- sand and win the match. "Unfortunately, a terrifio storm burst just at the critical moment, and every soul, with the exoeption of myself, perished. I saved myself by.floating ashore on my bat-" Here his emotion overcame him again, but I could not listen to any more, and requested him to desist. as I was so touched with his story that I- He ventured to suggest that I might think he was prevaricating, and when I gained sufficient courage to allow that I was not prepared to admit the truth of his narrative he oast a pitying glance a.t me, and, observ- ing, "I'm sorry," went out-into the unsym- pathetia rain, and waa effaced from view.
ICARD SHARPERS.
I CARD SHARPERS. Gang Arrested at Chelaea. SMART SENTENCE PASSED FOR CHEATING. Edward Gosling, alias "Tiddler," 33, Chris. Howard, 29, and Robert Russell, 29, all well- dressed, were (before Mr. Sheil) at Westmin- ster Police-court, London, yesterday charged on warrants with using the premises, 29, Upper Manor-street, Chelsea, for the purposes of unlawful gaming. Detective-inspector Hayter, B Division, said the prisoners were members of a gang who frequented Victoria, Station, and there were numerous complaints to the police that they had cheated people out of large sums by using marked oards at faro. Henry Pickering, a butler, employed at the West End, said he made the acquaintance of the prisoners at the Windsor Castle Public- house, near Victoria Station, and at their suggestion joined card parties at a house in Vincent-square, Westminster. Afterwards, they played at Gosling's residence at Chelsea. The game was faro, and witness always lost. Mr. Sheil: How much? Witness, About zE60 in three or four months. I have lost £25 at one sitting. Mr. Sheil: No wdfcder there are robberies when this sort of thing goes on. Witness said that quite recently he detected that he was being cheated by marked cards. He refused to pay then, and he had since been subjected to continual annoyance by the prisoners. They had been to the house where he was engaged on various occasions to annoy him. He was, consequently, obliged to appeal to the police. By the Magistrate: He knew four other men who joined in the faro. He recognised one of the prisoners' confederates in the court. The picture cards were pencil marked. Detective-sergeants Bedford and Chatt proved the arrest of all the prisoners at the Windsor Castle Public-house. The man known as "Chris" was in the billiard-room. This prisoner had a pack of marked cards in his pocket. Other marked cards were found at Gosling's house. None of the prisoners worked, and they were the associates of dis- orderly females and sharpers. Russell had undergone four years' penal servitude, and Howard had had hard labour for welshing. Prisoners pleaded guilty, and Mr. Sheil sentenced them all to a year's hard labour.
NEWPORT POST OFFICE
NEWPORT POST OFFICE There has been some heart-burning of late that the Post Office departmental heads have not made a move in the matter of the exten- sion and re-building of Newport Post-office in High-street. Plans showing an extension to the corner of Thomas-street have long been passed, and the Treasury grant of £28,000 for the work has been obtained. There does not appear to be any cause for grumbling, how- ever, at the Post Office so much as at the officials of the Great Western Railway, with whom an exchange of lands has to be arranged for the extension. The desire for a farther extension to the railway station approach has up to the present not met with much encouragement. Meanwhile it is contem- plated to reraove a number of telephone operators from the Dock-street office to a large disused room in the) High-street premises. This will enable the room now used for telephone purposes in Dock-street (about which there have been complaints of a want of sufficient air) to be utilised for other purposes.
HOW TO GET STRONG.
HOW TO GET STRONG. A STORY FOR WEAK MEN AND WOMEN. Once upon a time, when certain races wanted to get strong and vigorous, they would force the blood of powerful animals like the lion into their own veins. A custom existed still more recently in our own country of transfusing into poor people's bodies the blood of living oxen or sheep. Even if doctors have changed their methods to-day, they have never departed from the main idea of the importance of the blood as the source of health and strength. That is more firmly believed in than ever; it is simply the crude ways of conquering disease that have been pushed aside by the progress of the age. To the perfection of a remarkable medicine known as Dr. Slater's blood making tablets do we owe the fact that the ailing and weak are now able to receive in a pieasanter way exactly the same natural medicinal sub- stances which their ancestors needed when they took the blood of the lion or ox. This is a discovery which cannot easily be over- valued. Dr. Andrew Wilson, F.R.S.E., says:- "I must remark that we get effects produced by JN ature s own combinations such as we fail to get direct from the druggist's shop." Therein lies the secret of the unequalled cura- tive power of Dr. Slater's Tablets. They are not a cheap drug, but a substance made up of Nature's own combinations. They are Nature's own remedy put up in a modern and convenient form. For this reason, amongst others, they are vastly superior to ordinary medicine, and have no equal for anaemia, pale and sallow complexions, all female weak- nesses and irregularities, shortneas of breath, heart-weakness, palpitation, indigestion, nervous headache, "that tired feeling," nervous and general debility, paralysis, loco- motor ataxia, St. Vitus' dance, spinal weak- ness, wasting, the early stages of consump- tion, depression, loss of appetite, neuralgia, sciatica, rheumatism, gout, lumbago, pimples, face sores, and all ailments traceable to weak, watery, or impure blood. Each tablet swallowed is at once dissolved in the stomach and virtually transformed into so much new, rich, red blood, which purifies the system, tones up the nerves, strengthens the muscles, paints health's blushes upon the cheeks, and endows the whole body with new vigour and vitality. In two sizes only are Dr. Slater's blood making tablets sold, viz., 2s. 9d. and lis., the lls. size containing 5 times the quan- tity at only four timee the cost. If you have any difficulty in obtaining the genuine article at your chemists', send direct to the Slater laboratories, Greek-street, Leeds, when, if you also send particulars of your case, you may have the benefit of free advice from the pro- prietors' medical staff. e9083

FOOTBALL.
FOOTBALL. Blackburn Rovers Finances. The balance-sheet of the Blackburn Rovers' Football Club shows a loss on the year's work- ing of X190, solely caused by the unprece- dented sum of S,1,290 paid for transfers of new players. The income of the club was L6,115, and the expenditure x6,,305 16s., of which 22,870 was for players' wages. The gate receipts were £ 5,411. Aston Villa Club. The annual meeting of the shareholders of the Aston Villa Football Club was held laat night. Mr. Joseph Ansell presided. The President, in moving the adoption of the report and balance-sheet, said it must be a source of infinite satisfaction to them to find that after the rumours which had been prevalent during the last few months they were in so satisfactory and sound a financial position. After a keen struggle the first team had secured second position in the Football League competition, being only one point below Sheffield Wednesday. The team also reached the semi-final of the English Cup, and won the Birmingham Cup, while the reserve team carried off the championship of the Birmingham and District League. All the best of last season's players had been retained for the next season, and with certain satisfactory additions to the list the directors hopefully looked forward to the advent of the coming season. During the year the last £ 1,000 of debentures upon the property of the club had been wiped off, and the accounts showed a profit of £ 2,946. The directors recommended a 5 per cent. dividend, £ 488; writing off for depreciation of grand stands, &c., £ 1,000; and to carry forward £ 1,458. During the last five years they had received £ 68.000 in gate money; last year's amount, which was a record, being £ 15,576. In that period they had paid £ 28,498 to players for wages and transfers, and the excess of income over expenditure amounted to L8, During the twenty-eight years of the exist- anoe of the club they had won the English Cup three times and the League champion- ship five times, and they had afforded pleasure to at least ten millions of people. Then they claimed to have contributed between L24,000 and X25,000 to the charities of the city and neighbourhood.—The report was adopted. — The following were re elected directors: Dr. V. Jones, and Messrs. F. W. Rinder, J. T. Lees, H. Toney, and W. Cooke. The President stated that it had been decided to present James Cowan, the old Villa captain, with a gold medal in com- memoration of his long and valuable services to the club. The presentation was then made, amid enthusiastic applause. It will carry with it the life membership of the club, provided that the articles of association per- mit of this being so.—On the proposition of Mr. F. W. Rinder, Mr. J. Ansell was re-elected president, and the vice-presidents were also re-elected..
