Passing Pleasantries. FILIAL CONSCIENTIOUSNESS. A pa-rson strolling dovm a country lane came upon a lad of some thirteen s-amme-s, llkuggling to replace oa an emnt Y cart a load of hay. Seeing that the task wis beyond tlie boy's powers, the cleric BuggBt'ted that be should aecoinpa.ny him to the vicaj'age for breakfast, and then return to his task. The lad. a.ppaj"eQtly afraid to leave his work, aa.id, I don't think father would iike it." but after some persuasion was in<iu<'ed to go with the parson. After he had partaken of tt more than usually hearty meal he reached iorwajd to talie his cap. PTay do not hurry; rest awhile." remarked the parson, bet the lad onca more replied, I don't think father would line it." Struck with hL9 MMiacientiousTiess, the clergyman inquired. "Where is your father, my bey?" Under the hay. air/' waa the etartling reply, COURTSHIP BY TELESCOPE. In a. pleaaa.nt little cottage in a.

"Mus!C and Appetites." I The influence of different styles of music on the appetite has been minutely observed by the manager of the refreshment department at some classical concerts at Chicago.

An Ingenious Check. I In the Isle of Man vehicles let out on hire are charged for not by time but at the rate of distance. The hirer states the place to which he intends driving. and is charged accordingly. The job masters would be fre- quently swindled were it not for the fact that the ostlers of every inn in the island are iu the habit of affixing to the bottom of the trap, in a plac< completaly concealed from view, a small la.b3l bearing the name of the hostelry.

Certain London rounds have been aold for as much as £31}:) as ?oing concerna. and many such rounds change hands at a price for the good will of from .E.20 to £100. Several London cats' meat men have made considerable fortunes, and one of tbem, in South-east London, is said to be worth JE20.000. Out of London, a certain Leeds caterer for cats made a com- petericy by selling portioTis of Sah instead of bita of meat. ExceNent Eucalyptus.

THE WELSH TEAM.* ANALYSE OF THEIR WORK LAST SATURDAY. By this time every football reader will ha-ve become satiated with accounts of the great victory, with opinions, comments, and criticisms, home manufactured and foreign, of t-he Scotch and Welsh players. In their studies they will have noticed the great change of opinion with regard to the Welsh- man. Critics who based their decisions on the result, and not on the play, of the game at Leicester were loud in expression of their belief that Wales was going to bite the mud. By a series of specious reasonings, all based on the above foundation, they brought in their verdict—"Wales was for defeat." In fact, 80 certain were they of this that from the house-tops they proclaimed that she was practically done for, dead and buried, rotting bones with an aroma of fame. They told us that strong Scotland, the invincibles of last year, were ever so much stronger this, and that we, poor Wales, must surely recognise that we were not as we were, but were surely worse. Then came the day, and the four times across to once. Then. also, came the swing of the pendulum. At once to the other extreme. The poor Welsh t.eam became the finest team Wales ever had; the Scotch team the poorest that ever came across the border, Well. this second opinion is on a par with the nrst, quite too utterly utter. Far from being poor, the Scotch team wM a good one, while the Welsh team, in spite of their glorious victory, was some appreciable distance from being the finest team that Wales ever had. And, as this touches upon the main subject of the present article, we will proceed to business and discuss our own men. In saying that Winfleld's Display at Back I was, on the whole, below standard, we take that high standard set by Winfield himself in his club games and the previous inter- national in Leicester. The Cardiff man's back play has throughout this season been consistently of the highest order. On Satur- day, however, he failed to reach that stan- dard, except in one particular-his place- Ricking; and this was equal to his best. I think the slippery surface of the ball put him out a little at the start, when he failed to gather that nrst awkward one. Then came a torpedo shock under the eye ere war was in full swing. When, however, he sent that beauty between the posts he gave signs of a full recovery. The cool gliding save, the long slant into touch, the emphatic "Plant 'em!" expression of love. were hardly as prominent as we have become accustomed to expect. We expect the Winkle's usual standard when we meet the "boys in green" at Belfast. There is no wing playing football to-day that comes within hailing distance of T ddy Morgan. I Teddy's greatness as a wing does not rest on his speed. Ria speed is only one of his assets. He ts a footballer. All spsedy wings that play football are not footballers. The majority of them are sprinters. They receive the ball and run as though the sprint strings are on each side of them, and that to dodge ivould mean to foul.  would mean to foul. Moreover, they wait to have their given tllem by their centre three-quarters. And, further, they are dainty about the kind of chance they accept. Sow. this is not Teddy Morgan's style. He never brings his sprint strings on to the foot- ball neld; he doesn't beat time only, but includes a man or two in the mil-up; he dosn't wait, Micawber like, for chances to turn up ready-made, but gives a hand in the making, and, far from being dainty, he is positively ravenous of all kinds of chances submitted to him for negotiation. He waa at the Scots from the very nrst, treating their three-quarter reputation with scant ceremony, indeed. Virility and brains—a. forget-me-not kind of a bombardment, boom, boom, with damage every time. It seems to me that Gabe Covers Himself I with an extra, akin of glory when Gwyn Nieholls is unable to play. It may be because he puts forth extra endeavours for his dear captain a sake. Whatever it is, there is no doubt that on Saturday he gave us one of his extra superfine displays in attack. Between him and Morgan it was really a ca.ae of the Scots .being between "the devil and the deep sea." Compared to the other centres, on the day's form Gabe stood ia a claas a.ll by himself. Cnfr Pritchard I wae some time finding his feet. He would ) have found them sooner had the Scotch backs done a little attacking very early. There is no better grabber of individuals than Cliff. To pop up as though just sent on the stage by a spring is the jerk of hie nature. Pos- sessing unsuspected speed, he interpolates hM little "Dont leave me, please," just when his opponent is not expecting him, and is anxious to be off. I say he was some tii3fe finding his feet on Saturday, lie was a little put about by the responsibility of his nrst interna.tiona.I; he was worried a. little by his first passes to Llewellyn getting astray. Bot he got com- piett:iy mer it just when the complete getting over vas moet useful to Wales. There was a period in the second half when our attack! weakened very perceptibly; when, also, the forwards seemed hardly to be holding their own. It was at this time th&t the Scotch halves got the ball very frequently, indeed. Fhey fed their centres, to nad Priichard feed- ing on them. lie contributed sturdiuess at! this period, and deserves full measure of praise for it. Re can car his cap knowing he nits thoroughly deserved it. I hardly expected ) Willie Lleweliyn to reach that.standard of play he has treated us to in many previous internationals. lb must not be f'jrgoMen that he has operated almost invariably v.'ith Gwyn Nicholla as his centre, and when so doing has created We.st records in intarnat.iona.l try-getting. He was the man most inconvenienced by Gwyn'a absence on Saturday, and this fact should be kept in mind when criticising his day's piay. Place on top of that the responsibility of being Welsh captain for the nrst time, and he hadn't a bed of roses. I confess to being in direct opposition to a few "good opinions," but I go for what I think, and I certainly think that Wiliio Llewellyn, though far from his best, played a capital game. I Richard Owen must be considered first of the halves, because hewillsetthere. Upon my word, Richard is a football wonder! In his especial depart- ment he has no equal. He got the ball when he ought to have had it, and still got it when it came Bissett's turn to do something with it. He sneaked it from the biggest individual man's toes, and burgled it from brawny bunches of bustling Scots who thought they; had secured it on a comfortably long lease. He deceived and diddled, and then diddled and deceived ag'ain. It was IPeads np I win: tails up. you lose." every time with domineering Dick. And his partner, I Dick Jones. What of him? Rumour had been lately very busy with hid form or lack of it. And. truth to tell. Richard had given some cause for it. He had not been doing himself justice in a I few of the more recent matches. It is so easv to cry "Faliing off." The question was whether it was a permanent falling off or one occasioned by the strain of matches Saturday after Saturday. WeM! RLchard was himself again on Satur- day last. and ?a.ve the answer, "Temporary only!" to the very important question. Dick Jones has a style of running which 13 easa itself. He glides in and out without appea.r- ing to make a.ny special en'ort to do so. It is a nice style to watch. And tts ease adds to its effectiveness as a deception pad for opponents. Before lea-ing the work of the backs. it would be wrong to omit to state that their defence, aa a whole. wp.B abort of what it should be. Their att??k so encro96ed them that once or twice, if not more, they wera i?ii.ige:'Iy in setting d"wn to stop the TllSh. Th-=y aiso made their duty in this respact more diSHcuIt by groupingr badly new and Hgain. I put this down to the fact that they anticipated more trouble from the Scotch forwards than the Scotch bacbs, and so got close- in to stop dribbles. This allowed Orr his score. It seems nasty to rip up in the hour of victory, but Belfast is in Ulster, and Ulster is in Ireland, and the grass is green. We want to take no risks. The only possible excuse there can be for changing any ot the forwards is that of the necessity of going in for men who ha/ve their larger slice of interBa.tional time in front, a,nd net behmd them. On the day's play each and all &a.!i push their ca,p8 jauntily back and look big. In the days to come each of the eight can sland tip-toe when 4 19G4 is made mention of Scotland v. Wales in 1304 is made within their hearing. Beginning with 'A. B." i there is no doubt that A. Briee I did more than wss expected of him. To run I n, strength-begotten try when he should ha-ve I been judged and tried was great cheek on his part. WTia.t a sa.MoP it 'wa-s- jv-E;t on the Canary Winiams' &tyle—a. step-hop of d3ter- mina.tion. Well dose! Brice. I Joyda Hodges claims aex.t attention. The Sottish for- wards respect Hodges. They know his worth. Dallas, the Watsonian captain, says that Hodges is never beaten. That's just it: he never is. On Saturday he was in the thick of it—grim and silant. His worth was seen in the bedewed faces of the sweltering Scots. He gave them his full share of the work they more than wanted. I Joseph, of Swansea, I was as strong a.cd cisver as uacal. Se did I that heeling back of his to perfection after I the first openmg. He was, as he always is, a. I worker all through. A.F.Hardmg I had, with others, quite as much of the rough- and-ready work to do in the first half as he could go on with. Once the Scota relaxed their eTorts, however, he was peen at his speciality—short dribbling-with eSect. Taking him altogether, he was hardly as prominent as usual; but he was a. worker all through. Beddoe Thomas I showed what square-chinned gents can do I when they try. His display was of the strong order-he gruelled, asked, and gare no I quarter. Strongest in in-pack work, he was I yet going hard when loose play was neces- sary. Harry Watkins I lent his weight in the holding of the scrum, and his strength in the pushing of it. Being I Llanelly, it looks like "back-scratching" to .east it was wOrthY- praise his play, but at least it was worthy. D.H.Oavies I was especially effective in the line-out, his height being o? great service to him and his country. His scrum work was not equally as strong, but his work in open rushes was of a high order. That lovely try over the 25 was cruel disappointment. I NeM Made One Mistake, I early in the game, in clinging to the ball when he had Gabe and Morgan waiting on him for a certain score. Apart from that. he did well, taking his honest share of the forwards' wor'k. And thus. the end. The land of the meeting of the wafers is our next care. To-day the Rose and the Shamrock meet. TTne might tell ua what Belfast holds for us the month after this.

The Chairman explained at the outset the object of the meeting, and added that all the counties in England with two exceptions were represented. He did not propose to take any vote at the meeting. There was, unques- tionably, a great difference in the styles of I refereeing. and when referees discussed one certain rule they very often disagreed. Mr. L. E. Gordon (Middlesex) opened the dis- cussion, spying that it was very important, for several reasons, that there should be uni- fortnity in refereeing. It made a, great differ- ence to the teams when they knew before the game how they were likely to be treated by the referee, and a good many of the ebulli- tions of t-orai)er were due to different styles of refereeing. The Sret point he would deal wit.h was the knock-on, The role at&ted that a rebound waa not a, knock-on, but many referees whistled for that and gave a free kick. Then the ten yards rule was dine- ren*ly interpreted. Another thing constantly passed over was that of a player standing off- side. It was very obvious that a player so standing must anect the person catching the ball. He should like to see this rule inter- preted very strictly and the catcher given his ten yards: The players standing off-side should get out of the way as quickly as possible or be penalised. Picking out of the scrum was another matter—he had seen a half-back forcing himself in among the for- wards, picking up the ball, and passing it back. A free kick ought to be given in that ease. In the case of a tackle many referees stopped play immediately the player was tackled. This was contrary to the spirit of the ga-me, the intention being that the game should be made as fast as possible. If a. player did not roll away from the ball quickly after being tackled and put down, a free kick ought to be given agtunst him. Lifting the foot in the scnm was noticed by some referees and disregard by others. Bouncing the ball in from touch ought to be carefully watched by the referae, who ought to exercise his judg- ment in overruling-the touch judge. A long di3cussion followed on the vesed CHKHtion of "When M the ball in the scram?" and the convict of ideaa was remarkable. Mr. Harry Bowen. who was heartily applauded, clinched the debate with a. motion which met with unanimous and immediate approval. The text of this was: — That the ball having loft the half-back's hands, passes the nrst two players on either side) and reaches the ground; tbaA the forwards be then allowed to lift their legs. In taking the vote, which wao nnajumoas, the Chairman went back on his statement &t the opaning of the meeting. "What is a. knock-on?" was the next qmpa- tion. Mr. Ack Uewellyn (Pontypridd) argued that when a player, in endeavourine' to catch a ball. dropped it forward, that should be con- sidered a knock-on. This view wae supported by Mr. J. James (Mommoathahire League).—After another long discussion Mr. Harry Bowen moved:— That it be a rocommenda.tion from this meeting that the dsunition of knocking-on should only include those causes that come mider the interprertatioI\ of wilfully knock- ing the ba.11 on, and not unwilfully. Mr. W. Carl (treasurer of the English Rugby Union) contended that the rules were definite enough M they stood on the point. The Chairman concurred with Mr. Bowen'a contention. Mr. W. M. Douglas spoke strongly on the point that the rules were perfectly deaf, and all that was wanted was strict interpretation. He did not believe in continually whistling for nnoor infringements. In his opinion there ought to be a. ronnd-t&ble conference of three representatives of each nation, and that a recommendation should go forth from them. through the International Board, to all the referees In the kingdom. The desire in Wales was to interpret the rules in the spirit of sport. Mr. HiMTy Bowem withdrew his resolution. Mr. Douglas's suggestion that three repre- sentatives of each nation should meet in con.; ference and formulate their interpreta.tioM of the lawe of the gume was put in the form of a motion and oarried unanimously. Mr. Geo. Ha-mett, on behalf of the London Society of Referees, promised to take the initiative in the matter by bringing it before the English Rugby Union. The meeting shortly afterwards ended.

I A QUEST FOR GOLD. I Absconding Pauper's Story. John Murphy, 35, amd Charles Chappenham, 36, were charged on remand at Southwark. London yesterday with abscondingp from Tanner-atreet Workhouse, BermondNey, with workhouse clothing. Murphy is known aa the forensic pa.uper, a.nd has been convicted at this court nearly seventy ti6 for offe-nees a.t the workhouse. Mr. Layman, barrister, now prosecuted for the ?ua.rdiana, and stated that in the early morning of January 29 thoprisonera succeeded in esca-ping from the workliouoe by climbing through a- wiBdow on to the roof of the mort.ua.ry. and than letting themselves down into the street by inlanq of a. rope fastened to the rain-pi'pe. A warrant was issued, and they surrendered a.t Tunbridce W<sl!s. Murpliy BMd tl;ere was a. la.rg'e sum of money hidden in a Mrtajin part of Kent, and he ccutd put hia h&nd upon the identical spot. (Laughter.) That was why he escaped from the workhouse, but unfortmm-teJy he was too lte, When he got there the trpasure had ?)sen. a.lrca.dy found. One of the pua.rdia.oe recently eaid hme would give JE5 to any mi),u who could get him a long term of imprisonment. Perha.pa that sum had been given to Mr. La.yman, who was now prospcnt- ing. (1..a.lhter.) Thje magiRtiate reniarbed that he was surprised that mall of Murphy'a intelligence should have been tempted by hidden treasure m e7,-Dape from the 'WOrkhouse. I 3turphy: But I WW' in the know, you see. (La-ughter.) Priaonera were each sentenced to twa months' hard labour on the ccarge of j absconding'.

I IMMORTAL" JANE CAKEBREAD. Dr. Robert Jonea lectured at Oxford laet night upon "The Psychology of Jane Cake- bread." There will never be another Jane Cahebread. The Inebriates Act of 1902," said the doctor, "har. made it impossible for such a. tragic and sad career to be again naunted before the public notice." It was Jane Ca.kebread's unBagginsr ap- pearamoea in the poHoe-courts that led to tha passing of the Inebriates Act of 1902. Tha-t waa her legacy to benent to all her kind. Her own downfall was due to a legacy of £100 left her when sb& was a domestic servant. After that she did no work. Dr. Jones explained Jane CaJ:ebread thus: Such Inordinate vamty as hers could only be supported by alcohol. For such na.turee, once alcolMl having been tasted, the descent to inebriety wae oaay. She drank to get the elation of aelf-esteem.
