FOR WOMEN FOLK. Homely Hints & Dainty Dishes. WITH PARS INTERESTING TO THE MERE MAN. Before patting milk into the saucepan. boil rapidly a few spoonfuls of water (enough to rust cover the bottom of the-pan), and it will never burn, however fierce the fire. Foreign bodies in the throat will often give way if the child has a sharp tap on the back. If this fails, press two fingers into the throat so as to cause sickness. If the obstruction still prove obdurate send quickly for the nearest medical man. Never buy cheap flannels for children's garments. It is false economy to do so. Low-priced flannel is not cheap; for it is probably made of old wool and largely com- posed of cotton, which renders it harsh and tends to make it shrink very much when washed. Mothers should remember that rice is the most easily digested of the vegetable food3, requiring only one hour for perfect digestion. While it contains a great deal of heat and force-giving food, it does not contain nitrogen, muscle, or flesh-forming food, and in consequence children should eat it with eggs, boiled mutton, or chicken. Cocoanut Cakes Mix one pomrd of sifted loaf-sugar with three-quarters of white oocoanut grated. Beat the whites of six eggs to a firm froth, and mix all well together. Drop the mixture on paper in rongh lumps about the size of a walnut, and bake them in a slow oven for a qu&rter of an hour. Devonshire Junket Heat a. quart of milk till it is lukewarm. Meanwhile put half a teaspoonful at powdered cinnamon and a tablespoonful of sugar into a cup, pour on a wineglassful of brandy, anS ttir tiil the engqtr is dissolved. Add this to the milk, put it in the dish in which it is to be served and stir in a tablespoonful of prepared rennet. In three or four hours it will be firm, and ready to be served. If it can be procured, a little clotted cream should be spread on the top of the junket, and white sugar sifted over that. Sometimes fresh fruit is eaten with thie dish. It improves the appearance of the dish if some coarse white sugar, coloured with cochineal, is sprinkled lightly over the cream as well as the sifted sugar. How to Sing Like Melba ,1 fft'L.. .t:I.. L: t: _1" me urvb ujiug 11_ry, 11 UI1 wyouu undertake the career of a singer, is good health. A delicate girl should never think of going in for the career (writes Madame Melba). The possession of a voice is not sufficient; the brain power must be as great or greater than the voice, and there must be musical intelligence. Supposing someone has all these good qualities and is a serious student, then it is necessary as well to go to hear the good singers, but not the bad ones, for it is much easier to learn than to un- learn. My diet is a matter of the greatest care. I allow myself lamb, the whits meat of chicken, vegetables, fruit, and a little white wine and water. Best Age for Men to Marry A certain well-known man contends that "JlD young man under twenty-five years of see is in any sense competent to take unto himself a wife. Before that age he is simply a boy, who has absolutely nothing which he can offer to a girt as a safe foundation for life happiness. He ia unformed in his character, unsettled in his ideas, absolutely ignorant of the first essentials of what consideration or love for a woman means. He doesn't know himself, let alone knowing a woman. He is fall of fancies, and it is his boyish nature td flit from one fadcy to another. He is incapable of the affection upon which love is based, because he has not lived long enough to know what the feeling, or even the word, means. He is full of theories, each one of which, when he comes to put it into practice, will fail. He is a boy pure and simple, passing through that trying period through which every boy must pass before he becomes a man. But that period is not the marrying time. For, as his opinions of life are to change, so are his fancies of the girl he esteems as the only girl in the world to make him happy. The man of thirty rarely weds the girl whom he Dancied when he was twenty. How to Treat the Hair I The hair has a very great deal to do with one's appearance, almost as much as the teeth. Yet many persona who take care of the teeth neglect the hair woefully. The very beet thing to do in order to keep the hair in good condition is to massage the scalp daily. This systematic manipulation keeps the skin from tightening, and prevents the head from becoming, as it were, hide- bound. Hair cannot grow on a stiffened, glassy skin which has gotten into such a dry state that it. so to speak, no longer breathes. If yonr hair shows signs of lifeleasness, or the scalp feels sore to the touch, go to a good masseuse twice a week. If you can- not conveniently do that. take a lesson or two. Learn, by all means, to manipulate yoar soalp yourself. It is no grea.t fc^sk,, al(d it will keep what hair. you have and encourage more to come. At all events, don't drag the hair off your bead by brushing. It is a pretty well exploded idea that brushing the hair is bene- ficiai. Above all things, never attempt to free the head or hair with a "fine comb"; that is dea.th to the hair, as is -too muoh washing. Five or six times a year is quite often enough for a shampoo. One of the reasons why more men than women are baldbeaded is jecause men. having short hair, are apt to ret the head daily, which practice carries off .he natural fertilising secretions. Too much, rater rots the hair.

A FICKLE WAITER.' I. ,ICK,.:.:…
A FICKLE WAITER. I. ,ICK, L 4 ?m .IIE.: Breach of. Promise I Action. THE DEFENDANT A MARRIED MAN. An action to recover JS500 damages for breach of promise of marriage was tried yesterday at Leeds Assizes. The plaintiff was Miss Florence Brown, daughter of Mr. John Brown, the landlord of the Britannia Inn, and the defendant was William Henry Hodg- kinson, a public-house waiter, of Allen-street, Sheffield, who tamed out to be a married man. Mr. Ellison, in opening the case, stated that defendant was formerly a waiter, employed at a well-known inn, the Wagon and Horses, a house much frequented by pleasure parties going from Sheffield into Derbyshire. Defen- duntgave the plaintiff several preeents, and so far had matters advanced that the suggestion was made that on their marriage they should take the Hammer and Pincers Inn, just out- side Sheffield. In November, under the in- fluence of the promise of marriage, the defendant took advantage of the plaintiff That was about a month before the marriage was to have taken place, but giving the excuse that his niece was going to be mar- ried, he postponed the marriage. During the Christmas defendant stayed at the public- house, and, as if to show that his intentions were perfectly honourable, he took the measurement of her finger, telling her that he would provide her with a proper ring. Defendant on one occasion, on .going to see her, was questioned as to What he really intended to do. In reply to her question, "Are you going to marry me?" he said. "No, I don't see why we should not go on as we are." Plaintiff, now-ever, pressed the matter, and defendant finally said that there was another- girl at Chesterifeld, whom he positively worshipped, and he intended to go off to her. An extraordinary discovery was made that defendant all the while he had been courting the plaintiff was a married man, with five or six -children, and, indeed, with one or more grandchildren. Plaintiff corroborated,jn th« JEpiain counsel's opening statement. Defendant was called; and denied that he ever promised to marry the plaintiff, but he did not think she knew he was married. Mr. Ellison: How do you know the plaintiff eventually knew you were a married man?— Because I told her I could not marry her if I had all Sheffield given to me. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, and awarded the amount of the damages at £10.

WATERLOO RAILWAY DISASTERI…
WATERLOO RAILWAY DISASTER I I I he Driver Uan: mve no I ExplffttktM: .>.û,- The inquest on the bodies of the six persons killed in the recent disaster at Waterloo Rail- way Station, near Liverpool, when the Liver- pool to Southport express left the metals and was wrecked, was resumed to-day at Waterloo Town-hall by Mr. Brighouse, county coroner. The families of the deceased and several of the injured were legally represented, and the principal officials of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway were present. Edward Lloyd, driver of the ill-fated train, said it consisted of an engine and six Ibogey carriages. He had driven that particular train seven or eight times before. The speed was 45 to 50 miles an hour, the journey of eighteen miles and a half taking 25 minutes. At the footbridge at Waterloo Station the engine lifted up in front, the funnel catching the bridge, and went off the road. That was the last he remembered. He could give no reason why the engine went off the line.

IFAMILY TRAGEDY.
I FAMILY TRAGEDY. Mother Two Children Killed. AN ALPINE BATTERY SHELL BURSTS. A Daily Mail telegram from Paris yester- day says :-A sad story comes from Mentone, on the Riviera, where a child five years of age lost his own life and caused the death of his mother and a brother aged fourteen. The family, named Rocca, inhabited a cottage out- side the village of Gorbio, five miles from Mentone. Yesterday evening the younger boy, while playing in a field, came upon an unexploded shell, which had been thrown there by an Alpine battery while practising. The boy picked up the shell and carried it home, and had almost reached the door when it fell and exploded. A tremendous report fol- lowed. The boy was killed, and fragments of the shell struck his mother and brother, who were seated at the side of the cottage. M. Rocca and his daughter, who were on the other side of the building, escaped unharmed, and when they ran to the assistance of Mme. Rocca and her two boys they found that only the elder gave any signs of life. His injuries, however, were of such a terrible nature that he died while being conveyed to the village.

I - A DANGEROUS RUFFIAN
I A DANGEROUS RUFFIAN At Westminster Police-court John Dwyer, alias Spraggs, 24, was yesterday charged with very violent assaults on a lodging-house depnty and on Detective Yard. The detective and another officer, named Gittings, on Saturday night had occasion to visit a common lodging-house in Westminster. The deputy was noticed speaking to the police- man, andttbe prisoner then came behind him and dealt him a blow with a brass-buckled belt, which cut his right ear open. The detec- tives closed with prisoner, who struggled, kicked, and clawed with his nails. Detective Yard was rather badly hurt, for the prisoner managed to trip him up and kick his kneecap. It took seven policemen to get the prisoner to the station, and whilst the charge was being taken he jumped out of the dock and sprang at the lodging-house deputy. His boots were then taken off. Sergeant Urry, the gaoler, proved many long terms of hard labour against the prisoner for murderous attacks on the police. The man was without eiception one of the worst ruffians known in Westminster. The prisoner at this moment pnlled his hand from his pocket and hurled with all his strength a handful of coppers at the lodging"- house deputy and officers standing by the wit- ness-box. lie made a movement as if to leap from the-dock, but was immediately seized and forcibly held by several policemen. Sergeant Gittings deposed that the prisoner said, I will do murder when I get out of this, for I neither fear Ood, the Devil, nor the rdbé." Mr. Horace Smith said prisoner wae more like a dangerous wild beast than a man. For the different assaults h. would be sentenced to eleven months' hard labour, and at the expiration of that period he would be further imprisoned for six nionthe in default of find- ing sureties.

lABDUCTION CHARGE
lABDUCTION CHARGE Swansea Gipl-of Fifteen Leaves Home. LIVES WITH A LABOURER AT LLANTRISANT. At Glamorgan Assizes to-day John Burns, 24. labourer, was indicted for abducting Mary Ellen Collett from the custody of her father, a. lodging-house keeper at Upper Strand, Swansea. iitr. T. Jeremiah Williams appeared for the prosecution. Robert, Oollett said his daughter was sixteen j years of age, and had lived with him, per- forming household duties, till the early part -of last year. when she disappeared. The prisoner had lived in bis house for nine months previous to that time, and on the 7th of April he left. Simultaneously his daughter left without his consent. Mary Ellen Collettf who looked older than her stated age, said she was very friendly with the prisoner when be lived at her house, and she asked him to take her away. Her father had often told her to leave his house. She went with prisoner to Llantrisant, where she lived with him as his wife for about three weeks. They eventually travelled to Wrexham. Ann Williams, a lodging-house keeper at Llantrisant, proved that the parties stayed at her house as man and wife for three weeks. In reply to the Judge, she said the girl ap- peared to her at the time to be about eighteen years of age, although she was only fifteen. She made no inquiries. A discussion ensued as to whether proceed- ings should not have been taken under the Criminal Law Amendment Act, but eventually the judge allowed the case to proceed under the older statute. Addressing the jury, he said the girl had stated that she asked the prisoner to take her away, and that she had told him she was nine- teen, but it was well knownthat in such cases the female was always ready to take the blame, as she could not be punished. The question was, whether the girl had accom- panied him at his request or entirely on her own initiative. If it waa a conjoint arrange- ment the man would be guilty, but if it was entirely her doing he was not. The Judge further read the words of the statute, which referred to a definite frolding out any in- ducement to the girl to leave, or to continue to remain with him. The jury found the prisoner guilty. The prisoner said he intended to marry the girl. I The Judge: Why didn't you do so. Yon had the dhance. His lordship, re-called the father, and asked him if he did hot favour a mar- riage, but Collett replied "in the negative. Why"? asked the Judge. "Is it because he is not in a position to. keep her F' The Father: He is not. II You want him punished?—He deserves it. I don't say he does not. but. as she has lived I with the man for a year, don't you think it would be better if they were married?—No, sir. The Judge then directed that prisoner should come up for judgment at the neet assises,.and if he had.not married the girl by that time through any default of his own he would then be punished.
WIDOW AND SON;.""-'1
WIDOW AND SON; .1 i Singular Case Heard in Laws I Courts. In the King's Bench to-day Mrs. LiUie Strathmore Nnthall, widow of the late General Nuthall, sued Colonel William Frost Nutihall, eldest son of the general, as administrator of his father's estate, for JE52 alleged to be due in respect of arrears of allowance made by the late general to the plaintiff. The Plaintiff said in 1891. when she was a yotmg widow with five children, she married the general, and they lived at her house in Wobttrn-place. In 1894 an unpleasant incident occurred. A lady called at the house and made certain allegations against the general, and this upset the" plaintiff. The incident had reference to an earlier chapter in the general's life. and it was so unpleasant that the plain- tiff and the general agreed it wae undesirable there should be a repeiitionof the scene before her children. It was arranged that the general should take up a separate residence, and he did so, continuing, however, to visit plaintiff daily. They lived on affectionate terms down to the general's death. After the general left W orn-place he arranged to allow the plaintiff £ 16 a month, and she claimed a balance unpaid at the time of hie death Mr. Justice Lawrence said he regretted that a son should for such a trumpery sum drag dirt into court and bring discredit on his father's name. He was glad to have the opportunity of giving judgment against. him. Counsel for the defendant said the defen- dant was unaware the plaintiff wae going to mention the matter. Judgment was given for the plaintiff for .£36. as she had overlooked L16 she had received.

The paucity of militia officers was due to the extension of the yeomanry and the fact that so many militia officers had had to leave the servioe owing to the calls of business.

| A NOBLE OFFER OF MARRIAGEI
A NOBLE OFFER OF MARRIAGE I An offer of marriage was made yesterday to a young woman named Annie Flavell at Sedgetey under romantic circumstances. A fortnight ago, when Flavell was before the magistrates on a charge of stealing a ring, it was stated that she committed the theft to obtain food for her starving child, whose father refused to recognise her. She fainted in court and fell into a policeman's arms and the magistrates acquitted her. Yesterday Inspector Moss, of Sedgeley, re- ceived a letter from a Malvern man, offering to marry the young woman and provide a good home for her and the child if she would forget the scoundrel who had behaved so badly-towards her.

v .SPORT OF THE DAY. I
v SPORT OF THE DAY. I The Duke of Portland has sold Friar Tuck, and the colt will leave Kingsclere shortly for India. Lord Bobs and Royal Lancer were yesterday sent from. W. Waugh's stables to Sir J. B Maple's stud at Childwickbury. D. Maher continues to do well after his recent accident. He will not resume riding for a, little while, having been advised to take a rest. 4olden Owl and Nevw ftg Never* two. winners at Birmingham yesterday are haif- brothers. Golden Oriole being the dam of both. Russell trains the pair. at Stock- bridge. The Chef (5 years), by Marmiton—Baby Girl; Reitz (6 years), by Mayboy, dam by Young Victor; and Abbess of Malvern (3 years), by L'Abbe Morin—Lady Malvern, have arrived at Sir Charles Nugent's place, Cranborne, to be trained for jumping. The Stockton Race Committee fcl their annual fixture, which commences a. fortnight to-day, have effected several improvements, notably the extension of the paddock and the provision of better entrances. The paddock enclosure is now just double the size it was previously B. Dillon, who was suspended! for foul rid- ing on Coronilla in the Meldon Welter Han- dicap at Gosforth Park on June 24, had the mount on Merry Methodist in the (August Handicap at Birmingham yesterday, his term of suspension having expired. Whilst he has been in retirement he has lost the 51b. apprentice allowance. Ormonde Pratt, one of the famous family of horsemen, who completed his apprenticeship with Mr. W. T. Robinson in January last, is now connected with A. Carter's stable in France. He made his first public appearance in the saddle in that country on Sunday, and led off in most encouraging fashion by riding two winners out of three attempts. The name is one to conjure with in racing circles in France, and, as he can go to scale at 7st. 51b., with ordinary luck the lad seems bound to make a name for himself. By the will of Mr. John Ernest Frail, senior partner in the firm of Messrs. Frail Brothers, who died on the 2nd of March last, aged 56 years, he bequeaths to his nephews. Charles Frail and Cecil George Frail, his interest in the Northampton racecourse and five shares each in the Haydock Racecourse Company. He also left his interest in the Windsor Race- course in trust for his said nephews, to manage the racecourse meetings, and take two-thirds of the annual profits, and to employ his adopted son, Frederick William Phillips, as land manager at a. salary of LZ a, week if he gives up training, and to pay to him one-third of the annual profits if he does not ma.rry a person named, but if he does marry her then the remaining one-third share of the annual profits is to be paid to the testator's two said nephews. Mr. Frail left the residue of his estate to his adopted son, Mr. F. W. Phillips, and the testator's estate has. been valued at £ 18,201 12s. Id. gross, including E13,796 Os. 9d. in net per- sonality.

ICOLOURED MEN'S QUARREL.
I COLOURED MEN'S QUARREL. Three Cardift Men Sent to Gaol. Three coloured men—named George Hawson. Charles Cummins, and Adolphue Spooner, of 33, Church street, Cardiff—were charged (before the Cardiff stipendiary, Mr. T. W. Lewis) to-day with assaulting another coloured man. named John Wilkin, who resides at the I Sailors' Home, Stewart-street, Cardiff, on the 31st of July. Mr. Harold Lloyd appeared for the defence. Complainant, who had his forehead bandaged, stated that between seven and eight p.m. on the date given Cummins and Spooner went up to him and accused him of having c-pc ken disrespectfully about thenyto third and fourth parties. This complainant denied, and -olizu- teered to appear before their informant. They proceeded to Peel-street, and because com- plainant would not enter a shop to argue the matter out, Cummins and Spooner set about him with sticks, while Hanson, who was :n the shop, shouted "Put it on Q¡im!" and "Kill ihim!" Complainant was first struck about the legs and afterwards about the head. The three men then attacked him, and he received a. nasty cut with a stick above the left eye, with which he had not been able to see clearly since. In reply to Mr. Lloyd, complainant denied that he took off his ooat and challenged the three prisoners to fight. Witnesses were called, who deposed to seeing the three men attack Wilkin, and inflict the wound from which he now suffered. Prisoners were each sentenced to six weeks' imprisonment with hard labour. Arising out of this case George Hawson was further charged with assaulting Elizabeth Kops in Peel-street on the same date. Complainant, who is a, foreigner, said she was standing op her doorstep with a little girl when prisoner rushed up to her, caught hold of her by the throat, and-knocked her down, causing a severe wound on the back of the head. She had only been at the door a couple of mindtes, and prisoner accused her of having taken the part of Wilkin. Prisoner was sentenced to six months' hard labour, to run concurrently with the pre- vious sentence. Mr. J. H. Morgan appeared to prosecute and Mr. Harold Lloyd defended.

_-,'I I:CHILD NEGLECT.
'I CHILD NEGLECT. Penapth Mother Sentenced To-day. At Glamorgan Assizes, to-day (before Mr. Justice Channell) Elizabeth Parrett, 32, pleaded guilty to a. charge of neglecting her three children on June 20 at Penarth. Prisoner was further charged with being a habitual drunkard, but to-this she pleaded not guilty. ,Mr. Arthur Lewis, in opening th caee. said there was no doubt that drink had been a contributory cause to the crime of which pri- soner had pleaded guilty. William Hugh, inspector of the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Chil- dren, said he had known prisoner for four or five years, and had visited her home several times. Four times out of five she had been under the influence of drink. She had some- times been absent from her home for weeks, and had been seen drinking with loose women and sailors at Cardiff. Mrs. Jenkins, a neighbour of prisoner's at Salop-place, Penarth, said the defendant was a respectable woman before giving way to drink, but since then she had not been so. She had pawned the children's clothes for drink. The husband of the prisoner, a carman, said he had been married nineteen years, and his wife had latterly become a drunkard. The Judge, addressing the jury, .said it was, unfortunately, common knowledge that fre- quently when a person took to drink, no matter what good resolutions they formed, they were incapable of carrying them out. The jury found prisoner guilty, and the Judge orderedpier to be detained in the Home for Inebriates at Bri&tol for one year, and her name to be placed on the black list of her district.

There was no response, and defendant afterwards tried to effect an entrance by using a knife. He also broke a pane of: glass in a window near the door, and in consequence was able to open the door. Witness entered the cottage, and found defendant crouching in a corner, and when arrested he said, "You came just too soon. If you had been a bit longer I would have been in and out again, Prisoner was. sentenced to three months' imprisonment with hard labour.

THE LOSS OF THE RUPERRA II
THE LOSS OF THE RUPERRA I I The "Times" correspondent at Lloyd's says: —The hull and cargo of the TBritisb coaJ steamer Ruperra, run down by his Majesty's ship Metampus, are valued at £ 50,000, of which the hall was insured for £ 43,000. If the Melampus is found at faolt the pro- cedure will be by action against the captain. The modern practice is for the Admiralty to defend such an action and to recognise, -as an act of grace, liability up to 28 a ton, just as if a warship were a merchant vessel. But even if the Melaidpus be found at fault for the Ruperra's loss, the sum recoverable will not be more than half the value of the latter vessel's hull and cargo. t

The tlot, deal- ing, as it does, with two such fertile sources of comedy and tragedy as Woman and Wine, appeals to every playgoer, and, although sotnO of the- actions may be somewhat exaggerated, a good many of the features are those that have been, and are still being, adopted by certain circles in large cities. The authors, with their customary skill, have woven -an interesting story into a btirring play--<me that keeps the pulses and attention at high tension. Grand Theatre, Cardiff I Lovers of sensationalism are well provided for at the Grand Theatre, Cardiff, this week. where. the well-known drama, The Wicked City," is produced by a capable cotnpany. The play bristles with exciting situations and thrilling escapes, one of the daring situations being laid in the operating theatreat a hoe- pital. Still, there is a rich vein of humour running through the play, and the scenes and acting were warmly received by Monday's large audience. All the characters are well taken. Cardiff Empire Crowded audiences witnessed the two per- formances at the Cardiff Empire on Monday evening, and hundreds of visitors to the town who had not booked seats in advance were disappointed in failing to secure admission. This week's programme is one of the most varied and entertaining of a long series, and it would not be surprising to know that record business has been done when the week comes to a close. There are ten excellent turns, among which the Four Madcaps, Martin Con- way, J. E. Coyle, and the bioscope pictures of the Royal party at Belfast figure most pro- minently. Coyle and Oonway rival each other closely in their comedy, and it was a general regret that. time did not permit, of a longer sample of their quaint and original humour. Newport Empire- I | The enormoda holiday crowds were very muc? ..delighted with theV beautiful and fascinating operetta, "My Japanese Cherry Blossom," produced with great success by Fred Karno's company, which includes some .I of. the very best comedians, and vocalists known, to the variety and concert halls. It is a. deligb. tful song scena, and. the gorgeous jcostumet), sccp.eryt. dnd illuminations form quite w ^rillWBifc setting. Lilian -W-,ev j appears- in a series of beautifully illustrated Vocal pictures. Fred Harcourt is here again with his very smart high conjuring feaM." The Ontis, the great Algerian jugglers (three ladies and one gentleman), give a specially fine turn. Half a dozen other turns are aleO thoroughly deserving of their place.
