FOR WOMEN FOLK.
FOR WOMEN FOLK. HOMELY HINTS AND DAINTY DISHES. Earache can often be cured by wringing out a flannel in boiling water, sprinkling a few drops of laudanum on it, and applying it to the ear. A little cotton wool dipped in essence of oil of cloves and applied to the tooth which aches will often he successful where other remedies have failed. To clean a. carpofc which has been soiled by coal dutet being tr;xiden into it, the best plan is to rub over the whole surface with a quarter of a. pound of white curd soap, made into a jelly, and mixed with one penny-, worth of salt of tartar, which should be applied with a flannel. This quantity is eufficient for a medium-sized carpet. Preserving Small Fruits A good way to preserve small fruits is to fill wide-mouthed bottles, tie paper pricked with holes over the top, and set the bottles in warm water. When the fruit changes colour the bottle should be corked and I tightly sealed. Pickled Spanish Onions I Cut the onions up in thin rounds, lay on I dish, and sprinkle with salt, and let remain I for twelve hours. Afterwards dry in cloth, then place in respective jars. Then allow two quarts of vinegar to every 61b. onions. ) Boil the vinegar with loz. of whole pepper j and loz. of whole ginger. Pour over onions j when cold. Tie down tightly, and it will be II ready for use in a month. I To Preserve Pears Six pounds of pears, four pounds of s116ar. Boil the parings in as much water as will cover them. strain it through the colander, lay some pears in the hottom of the paa. 3Jut in sugar, then another layer of pears, and so on alternately. Then pour the liquor off tho pear skins. Boil them until they begin" to look transparent, then take them out, let the juice cool, and strain. Put the pears in again, add a little ginger. boil until done. Let the liquor boil, after taking out the pear. until it is reduced to a. syrup. I Bottle when cold. To Exterminate Fleas Save the parings (raw) of all potatoes used and boil them for one or two hours very pently to avoid as much waste as possible. Strain off the liquor, which is very acrid and bitter, and usa it very strong in hot water, as hot as can be comfortably borne, for the floors or wherever the fleas are troublesome. A small brush round the bedticks, dipped in a little of the solution, and on the bedstead^ will be sufficient, as h,ouse fleas carry larvae I and breed in millions. One of these insects, if examined, will be found full of what look like minute salt grains, -which they scatter. They are different from the sharp, thin- pointed grass and earth fleas, which are more J spiteful and sting. A Question of Colour 1 -Not one woman in ten realises the impor- tance of ascertaining and making a careful study of one particular colour modt becom- ing to her and of always having a touch of it introduced in eome pa.rt of her dress. The auburn-haired woman looks best in fcrown, shading into the tones of her hair, or in rich dark-greens. The yellow-haired girl can. wear red. The greens, too, are delightful on her, as also certain yellows and black. White is less becoming, but she must be brilliant in com- plexion or else most delicate as to tints to wear greys and blues to advantage. Blue, particularly the cold and pale blues, are beet adapted to brunettes. Tobacco as Medicine I Tobacco has paesed through two distinct phases in the medical world. First it was received as a heaven-sent boon to suffering humanity, and was applied with a lavish hand for the cure of every malady. Then followed bitter experiences of pain, and even death, inflicted in cases where it had been fondly hoped relief would be obtained. About half a century ago Mr. Lizars and Mr. Solly, of St. Thomas's Hospital, London, inaugurated a crusade against tobacco, hold- ing forth on the physical and mental misery, leading to insanity, which must inevitably follow its use in any form. Conspicuous among medical treatises of recent years wherein the subject is dispas- sionately surveyed is mentioned that of Dr. John C. Murray, of Newcastle-on-Tyne. Remarking upon the curative effect of tobacco-smoking on the sick and wounded in the Franco-German War, he says that its healing virtues were so obvious to an army surgeon of his acquaintance that from being strongly opposed to the use of tobacco he bccame a convert, in so far that he actually purchased cigars and presented them to the wounded, in consequence of having observed that their smoking assisted recovery.
Passing Pleasantries.:
Passing Pleasantries. Mrs. De Ruffle: If you ever did any good in this wide world, I'd like to know what it is. Mr. De Ruffle: Well, for one thing, I saved you from dying an old maid. THE SEVENTH DAY. I One day a vicar dropped into the village schools and questioned some of the children. "How many days are there in a week?"' "Seven, sir!" was the reply. "Quite right. And what are their names?" "Monday, Toes- day, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Satur- day," was the reply. "But you've missed one out. On which day does your mother go to church?" asked the clergyman. "Every time father buys her a new bonnet!" was the un- expected reply. .I "NO MUCH PROFIT," j The Laird (to old farmer, who is about to enter the matrimonial state for the third time): You're a lucky man, Andrew. I hear you are going to be married again. Andrew: Aye, I'm thinking aboot it. The Laird: And the lady has a bit of money, hasn't she ? Andrew (slowly): Aye, she has a pickle. The Laard: And so bad your first and second. You've been fortunate. eh? Andrew: Weel, a wee bit, bit no' that much. Ye see. wi' the expense o' getting them out o' the hoose, there's not much profit left in it.

jSTORY FOR TO-DAY
jSTORY FOR TO-DAY I A Sensation at Table. I Fine ruins. and near them a commonplace modern house; a great name which poverty was dooming to oblivion. The ancestors of M. Vent des Roussins had made a noise in the world; he lived in it quietly, devoting to speculative research the leisure of his middle age. He criticised the work of astronomers, chemists, and physicians, always hoping to surpass it. To that end he had built an observatory, and in the dungeons where martyrs to feudalism had formerly perished he established a laboratory. Pasteur's experiments had greatly inte- rested M. Vent des Roussins, who, however, considered them incomplete, and desired himself to continue the work begun. So when he heard that a mad dog had been killed, wishing to obtain a fragment of its brain to serve as the starting-point for a series of inoculations, he lost no time in driving to the apothecary's shop, where Dr. Landrimol was to preform an autopsy. After some hesitation M. Boultesene con- sented to oblige him, and gave M. Vent des Roussins a sealed bottle containing a. lump of soft pinkish matter intersected by bloody threads. The scientist's next move was to visit a neighbouring hutch, where he bought a pretty white rabbit; then, by a happy chance meeting an organ-grinder, he emptied his slender purse, and got in exchange a little monkey, with long, skinny arms. Once in his laboratory M. Vent des Itouis- sins locked the doors as if preparing to commit a. crime, and put the monkey into a cage. As to the rabbit, he first carefully with a lancet introduced under the skin of its head a tiny bit of the dog's brain, then confined it in a. somewhat dilapidated box, on the lid of which he layed a stone. A fortnight later some guest.s were visiting at the chateau—M. and Mme. des Engrumelles, a newly-married couple, and M. B'andrille, a young lawyer. The dinner was very gay. M. Vent des Roussins displayed unusual animation. He was, in fact, in the best of spirits, for that morning had brought a charming surprise— his rabbit had shown what he considered sure signs of madness. The little creature's cup of water was teft untouched, and it ha4 tried to escape from its box. M. Vent des Bcus-sins planned next day to pass on to the monkey a small portion of the rabbit's brain, a.nd thought that soon there I would be no m-cre mysteries for him in a.ntirabbic vaccine. I T k 't' r t1' t ,ur, "Take a, little more of this stew, M. Bandrille," said the hostess. Do not be ceremonious." "With pleasure, madam," answered the young lawyer, handing his plate, for never in my life have I eaten one so delicious." "It is a, dream!" exclaimed M. des Engrumelles. Well," cried Mme. Vent des Roussins, rather confused by so much enthusiam, "just imagine this wonderful animal whioh you all think so good did not come from our own kitchen. It is probably a. wild rabbit, and it was caught by the kitchenmaid less than two hours ago. She happened to see it running and jumping in the grass near the old dun- geons. M. Vent des Roussins; looked uneasy. Xear the dnngeonÛ" he asked. Yeq, close to one of the air-holes opening into your laboratory." M, Vent des Roussins, pale as death, arose without saying a word, rushed out of the I dining-room. His worst fears were realised. The rabbit had escaped with-out doubt. Suddenly, as if moved by a spring, he fled up the narrow etaire. At the instant he re-entered the dining- room, M. des Engrnmelles was about play- fully to imprint a kisa upon the rosy cheek of his bride. Repulse him! Repulse him!" shouted M. Vent des Roussins. Astonished, they drew apart. Mme. Vent des Roussins, alarmed at her husband's dis- tracted air, rose to approach him. "Do not oome near me!" cried the unhappy man. The young lawyer Bandrille in his turn jumped up. "If you move you are dead!" exclaimed his best, drawing a pistol from his pocket. My friends," continued the unfortunate man, we are all mad!" "Ursule, run for Dr. Landrimol!" shouted M. Vent des Roussins a.t the top of his lungs. Ursule, the cook, heard him in the kifcohen. "Go quickly, my good girl, we are ali mad!" added M. Vent des Ronssins. Ursuie, terribly frightened, began by turning the key ¡ of the dining-room door on the enraged party. Then, shouting as if the house was on fire, she ran to the village. Dr. Landrimol consented to go back with her, but insisted upon having an armed escort. All the able-bodied inhabitants took I' their guns, and the fire brigade brought up the rear. I When they rea-ched the chateau M. Vent des Roussins, still standing motionless, pistol in hand, told his tale. As be spoke Dr. Landrimol made significant grimaces, for the dcg on which he perfomed the autopsy had, undoubtedly, had hydrophobia. But when M. Vent des Roussins concluded, a peal of la."ghter broke the silence. Every- one turned around. The apothecary, Boulteselle, convulsed with mirth, was hold- ing his sides. Oh, you may be quite easy, M. Vent des- Koussins. I played—heaven forgive me—a little joke on you, and the bit of brain you carried off came from my breakfast table. Had you examined it more closely you might have seen that it had been cooked."

As a matter of faot, it has a far older history. In earlier days it was not customary to have sermons so frequently as is now the case. On special occasions an instruction was given, or a sermon was preached, and on these special occasions the little bell was tolled after the peal in order that the faithful might understand that it was one of the special occasions on which the I clergy would address their flock.
IEXHIBITION SOF THE TALLEY…
I EXHIBITION S OF THE TALLEY v SOCIETY. -i Since its inception, six years ago, the Talley Agri-cultura.1 Show haa sprung into such pro- minence that it must now be counted one of the' leading local exhibitions of Carmar- thcnsb.ire. This year a departure was made by holding the annual exhibition at Pump- saint instead of Talley, but the m-ovo can hardly be called an improvement, as the show as a whole was not equal to what it has been at Talley in past years. The president this I year was again Sir James Drummond, Bart, (lord-lieutenant of Cabnarthenshire), Edwins- ford; and the vice-presidents Sir James Hills- Johnes, G.C.B.. V.C., Dolaucothy; Mr. H. Meuric Lloyd, Glanyrannell Park; Colonel Methuen, Avonwood; and Mr. J. Morgan Davics, Froodvale. Tha secretarial duties were carried out by Mr. S. M. Jones. The judges were:-Blaek cattle and pigs, Mr. J. Roberts. Perfeddnant, Towyn; Shorthorn cattle, sheep, and horses, Mr. J. Richards, Gellywernen; Hereford cattle, hackneys, ponies, and mountain 3hecp, Mr. J. James, Brynhyfryd Villa, Llandovery; dairy pro- duce, Mr. D. Thomas, Lampeter Butter Fac- tory; and poultry, Mr. Hugh Hopkins, Peny- ga.rn, Llandilo. The black cattle were a grand lot, and fit to hold their own in county shews. The yearling bulls and heifers were particularly fine, and a great credit to the tenant farmers of the district. In the Shorthorn classes popular wins were those ef Sir James Drum- mond and General Sir James Hills-Johnea. The Shire horses made a splendid display, while the ponic-s, especially the brood mares with foal at foot, were a grand lot. The Shropshire and mountain sheep were fit enough to hold their own anywhere. At the public luncheon Sir James Drum- mond presided, and after the loyal toasts General Sir James Hills-Johnes, in proposin-g the health of the president, said that the society had performed wonders in improving tho stock of the district, which that day was second to none in Wales. Years ago, when he came there. he was surprised to see such poor stock. The toast was warmly received, and the President briefly responded. The following are the principal awards:- I TREGARON.

I I The annual show of the Lampeter Agricul- tural Society. was held on Thursday, and, a.s is usual at this exhibition, the attendance was very large. There was a splendid entry in every section, and the best animals of the county, and many of the Carmarthenshire prize-winners, were on exhibition. Mrs. Davies-Evans, Highmead, was the president, the other officials being: Viee.presidellts. Mr. IU S. Rowland (Garth) and Mr. A. C. Sterry (Neua.ddfawr); chairman of committee, Mr. J. C. Harford (Falcondale); vice-chairman. Mr. D. Roberts Jones (Llwynygroes); trea- surer, Mr. David Jones (Old Bank); and secretary, Mr. David Evans (Old Bank), who has a long record of useful services- to the society to his credit. The proceedings at the luncheon were very interesting, Mr. Delme Davie?-Evans pre. siding over a large company.—Mr. Vaughan Davies, M.P., having proposed the health of Mrs. Davies-Evans, Mr. Delme Davies-Evans. in responding, said that Mrs. Davies-Evans desired to subscribe ten guineas a year towards the funds of the society to provide prizes for black cattle exhibits by tenant farmers, and to encourage the manufacture of oat cakes amongst the people, as well as the growing of fruit trees around their home- stead's. (Hear, hear.) His mother wished him also to announce that she would be very pleased to present standard fruit trees to any tenant farmers within the purview of the show who wished to apply for them, as well as give instructions as to their culture. (Applause.) The list of awards will appear to-morrow.

I, "DREAM OF GERONTIUS " PERFORMED
I "DREAM OF GERONTIUS PERFORMED Elgar's noble "Dream of Gerontiua" was in itself sufficient to draw a great crowd to the Park Hall yesterday afternoon on the opening of the s-econd day of the musical festival. The andience, as was stated in the later editions of last night's Evening1 Ex- press," was a. deeply appreciative and sym- pathetic one, and it followed The Dream from beginning to end with absorbed interest. The noble poem set to music as noble by Edward Elgar was written by Cardinal Newman in 1S65. It is not anything like so well known aa his Lead. Kindly Light," although the latter comprises but three stanzas, whilst the Dream of Gerontius may best be described "3 a flight of genius, clothed in stately English to occupy with a transcendent theme the passing of a devout soul from earth to its reward beyond the grave. The poem contains passages of the greatest beauty and pathos, whilst in it occurs the well- kaown and admired hymn, Praise to the Holiest in the height," which was such a favourite with the late Mr. Gladstone. Dr. set "The Dream of Gerontius" to mnsic in 1900 for the Birmingham Festival,. and we believe to-day's performance was the first in the Principality. The part of the pious "Gerontius" was moat ably and devoutly ta-ken by Mr. John Coatee; that of tho "Priest" by Mr. Ivor Foster; that of the "Angei" was splendidly interpreted by Miss Muriel Foster; whilst from Mr. Ffrangcon Davies came a finished rendition of the part taken by the "Angel of the Asonv." About a score of voices acted as the chorus of angelicals in the second part, whilst the whole orchestra was under the baton of Dr. Frederic Cowen. Dr. Cowen, on stepping to the front, had a most cordial recep- I tion, and his efforts and those of the fine body of musicians. both vocal and instrumental, were warmly applauded and highly appreciative. Perhaps the most tender and touching portions of the Dream are found in the first part, where the death scene of the saint and the details of his dissolution are worked out with the touch of genius. The weird surroundings, the drifting of the lonely soul out into the unknown, the hopes and the fears, are admirably portrayed. In the second part the disembodied spirit is soothed by its guardian angel, conducted into the presence of its God, and then consigned to Purgatory, there to abide awhile. Farewell, but not for ever! brother dear. Be brave and patient on thy bed of sorrow; Swiftly shall pass thy night of trial here, And I will come and wake thee on the morrow. After an interval the Dream of Gerontius" was followed by the rendering of a tone poem In the East," composed by Arthur Hervey, specially for the festival, and conducted by the composer. Mr. Hervey was at the last Cardiff Festival, where he produced his tone pictures. On the Heights" and On the Marsh." Two Sea, Pictures by Elgar fol- lowed. rendered by Miss Foster, and "Tod und Verklaerung (" Death and Transfigura- tion"), a tone poem, by Richard Strauss.
THE EVENING MEETING.I
THE EVENING MEETING. MASSENET'S "EYE" AND SCENES FROM SCHUMANN'S "FAUST." The manner in which the less expensive seatfl have been filled at each concert is a matter for genuine congratulation. What empty chairs there were in the evening were certainly not in the popular divisions of the hall, for even the window-sills found oceu. pant3. And, as the whole programme was made up of practically unknown works, it may be taken as an indication that the old order is really changing, and that there is a growing thirst for novelties. Stated to be the first hearing in England, Massenet's "Eve" —a mystery in three parts—occupied the first part of the evening, with Mr. Ffrangcon Davies a8 Adam, Madame Blauvelt as Eve, and Mr. Ben Davies as Narrator. The work is one of the curious blends pecu- liar to France—biblical subjects eecularised and given an operatic flavour, like Saint- Saeng" "Samson and Delilah," which was given on Wednesday night, and like Massenet's other and greater example, "Herodiade," otherwise Salome," Eve is divided into three short sections, dealing first, with I more picturesqueness than subtlety, with "Birth of Woman," secondly with Eve in Solitude," and thirdly with "The Fall," the last being musically and dramatically the strongest of three not very remarkable inven- tions. The whole work is typically French in the superficiality of the treatment, "sugari- ness" of the melodies, and lightness of the orchestration. Its choral portions were quite brilliantly disposed of, Dr. Cowen taking the precaution, in view of the morning's experience, to provide certain effective unaccompanied sections with the subdued support of a. few first violins. Some expressively-contrived unison passages alternating between the male and female sections of the chorus served to reveal really fine individual quality of tone. The dramatically effective finale by Madame Blauvelt to the second part, and the duet with Mr. Ffrangcon Davies, Let Me Be Thine," were two noteworthy features of the interpretation of a unique work. Coming between the sentimentalism of the text and music of "Eve" and the none too exhilarating matter of Schumann's "Faust," Grieg's Concerto in A minor for pianoforte and orchestra (Op. 16) was at least refreshing, quite apart from Miss Adela Verne's distin- guished playing of the solo-instrument. It was evidently a popular—perhaps the most popular number in the evening's programme, the whole audience giving the clever young London pianist rapturous applause. It cannot be said for Schumann's "Faust" that it has been undeservedly neglected, for, with the exception of the third part—which the composer wrote first-it Is music of un- convincing worth even when done, as it was last night, skilfully alike by soloists, chorus, and orchestra. Engaged in the performance of the selected scenes presented were Madame Blauvelt (Gretehen). Miss Margaret Sam- brook (Martha), Mr. Ffrangcon Davies (Faust), Mr. David Hashes (Ecstaticos), Mr Ben Davies (Profundus), Mr. Ivor Foster (Sera- phicus and Marianufi), Miss Amy Evans (an Angel), Miss Maggie Purvis (Magna Pcica- trix), Mis3 Margaret Lewys (Mulier Samari- tan a), Madame Gertrude Drinkwater. Miss Maudo Waite, and Mr. Alfred Dunlop. Of the festival debutantes. Miss Amy Evans, though with limited opportunities, sang with culture and distinction, and though obviously nervous, attracted attention by the clearness of her diction and the brilliance of her higher register. The prospects for the future of this young Welsh artist are indeed rich with promise. The opportunity afforded of hearing "Eve" ajid Schumann's "JViust" will, doubtless, be fnlly appreciated, but neither work makes for permanent festival honours.

- -7- - -I A LIVELY DEBATE…
7 I A LIVELY DEBATE I SCHOOL HOLIDAYS IN t GLAMORGAN: Tl;o quarterly meeting of the Glamorgan County Council was held at Pontypridd yes- terday, as was reported in the later editions of the Evening Express," under the presi- dency of Mr. J. Blandy Jenkins, J.P. The report of the education siib-committce was considered. in which it v.ae recommended that no occasional holidays be allowed to be given in voluntary schools otherwise than by the chief education official, excepting in a ease of actual urgency, when the manager appointed by the county council might be authorised to give a day's or a half day's holiday, reporting his action to the chiel education official. The Rev. E. S. Roberts, rector of Coity, pointed out that by this paragraph it was intended to give the power in the hands of the representative of the county council. He thought this a great hardship, especially as far as the foundation managers were con- cerned. who were responsible to the county council and the Board of Education in refer- ence to keeping these schools in a satisfac- tory state of repair. There were gentlemen on that council who believed that no power should be conferred on any irresponsible person. He thought that it was very unfair that monopoly of power should be con- ferred upon the representative of the county council. who repudiated any authority or any responsibility in the management of these non-providec J schools. As a matter of justice—and he appealed to the honour of the council—Ire asked them to assist him in this matter, and to have this particular paragraph eliminated from the report. He moved that this be EO. Mr. J. M. Randall seconded. The Rev. E. S. Roberts further suggested that it would be very desirable that the authority of granting an occasional holiday or half-holiday be put in the hands of the managers. Alderman T. J. Hughes said that if the rev. gentleman had done them the honour of reading the whole paragraph, he would not I have fallen, into the foolish mistake lie had. How could the Rev. Mr. Roberts suggest, in a case of "actual urgency," that the whole body of managers should be convened? Councillor Roberts had overlooked the fact or had misunderstood the plain words in the circular sent out to the correspondents of each of the non-provided schools. It was quite incorrect to say that there bad been a repudiation of responsibility in regard to the management of schools. Vthat had been done was that the council could not be pledged by its representatives in respect of financial mattery when they must be in a minority. This was altogether different to repudiation of responsibility in regard to management. Those holidays affected the matter of attendance, and this affected the Government grants, which went to the up-keep of the schools, and, therefore, in the opinion of the education committee it was very desirable j that the authority referred to by the Rev. Mr. Roberts should be vested in a representa- tive who was responsible to the council rather than in a person who was not responsible to anybody at all. The Rev. E. S. Roberts said that when he mane a mistake he did not think he need be reminded of it even by an alderman; uiey expected civility. Mr. Roberts added that after the remarks of Mr. O. H. Jones, in who. judgment he had every confidence, he would withdraw the motion. Permission was then granted Mr., Roberts to withdraw the motion, and the report was adopted. I ALLEGED PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT. I Subsequently the Rev. E. S. Roberts drew II the attention of the council to what he characteriscd as evidence of preferential treatment on the part of the education com- mittee. He held in his hand a circular, bear- ing date November 2, 1903, in which these werds occurred:—"The Glamorgan Education Committee has decided for the present to pay monthly salaries of teachers on the basis of the fixed salaries payable under the scale in force on the 30th of Sep- tember, 1902." In January, after the issue of this circular, he was a mem- ber of the Penarth School Board, when an application was received from three head- teachers for an increase of salaries, which was granted, he believed, by a majority of one. Just at the same time the salaries of the teachers at the Bridgend National School were increased, but it appeared that the increase in the salaries of the teachers at the Penarth Board School had been sanc- tioned by the Board of Education, whilst in the case of the Bridgend teachers the increase had been refused. It seemed to him that there had been a contravention of the words he had just read. The Rev. E. S. Roberts: I am drawing atten- tion to the character of this report of the elementary teachers' work and salaries sub- committee; otherwise I have no opportunity of drawing the attention of the council to this preferential treatment. Alderman T. J. Hughes said that the school board had very properly directed tha.t the applications for advances which ha.d been made before the appointed day should stand over, whilst the managers of the National Schools had hastened to grant-the increase. This was the difference between the two. (Laughter.) The Rev. E. S. Roberts said that he was drawing attention to what he regarded as an act of unfairness and indignity on the part ] of the education committee. They said that they nould not grant an increase of salaries I after September. 1902, and yet they had done it. and so the words in the paragraph quoted were misleading. I The matter was then allowed to drop. Later on in the proceedings the Rev. D. H Willia.ms moved that the Rev. E. S. Roberts's name be added to the Bridgend group of managers. Alderman T. J. Hughes, in seconding, stated that a complaint had been made as to the alleged departure from the policy of the education committee in not appointing any Nonconformist minister manager of the non- I provided schools. It was quite true that the Rev. D. H. Williams and the Rev. J. Davies had been so appointed, but they were ap- pointed in that capacity as members of the county council and direct representatives of the ratepayers. Similarly by this motion the Rev. E. S. Roberts \^ould be appointed. not minority manager of one non-provided school, but majority manager of nine council school. This completely disposed of this fresh complaint that had been put forward. I SURVEYOR'S MOTCR-CAR. Replying to Alderman T. J. Hughes, the Chairman said that the question of providing a motor-car for the county surveyor had been deferred until the end of the year to see what improvements would take place in the cars.

EXPLOSION ON A STEAMER.I
EXPLOSION ON A STEAMER. FIERY COAL CARGO: ONE MAN KILLED, ELEVEN INJURED A disastrous explosion occurred on Thurs- day on board the London steamer Rookwood, which is lying in Smith's Dock at North Shields. A number of workmen were engaged in the fore part of the vessel, when there was a terrible explosion, apparently in the forepeak. One of the workmen, George Forester, a labourer, waft killed, and eight others were injured. The injured men, some of whom arc badly burned, are now in hospi- tal. The Rookwood, which has a cargo of coal, was placed in dock some time ago with her bows damaged,' and without discharging her cargo. Five of the injured men in the infirmary are suffering from severe burns about the hands, face, and neck, and will be detained as in-patients for some time. The injuries sustained by the other men were, fortunately, not eo serious, and after being medically treated on the dock premises they were allowed to go home. A Lloyd's message says:—The steamer sus- tained only slight damage. Eleven men were injured, six s-eriously. The latter are detained in the infirmary. Another report says:—The explosion is sup- posed to be due to an accumulation of gas. The injured men had remarkable escapes. One was blown twelve feet away.

The. World's Gliai^iiin Wrestler, ■ >t .t HACKENSCHMIDT TELLS WHAT HELPS HIM. I The world-famous Young Wrestler confesses that the severity of his training and the, strain of his wrestling bouts make him feel run down to the point of actual weariness and lassitude. Evidently a strong man is AS HIJMAN AS THE REST OF US, for Kackenschmidt tells us he suffered at times from Neuralgia; and it is interesting to note that he cured himself of his Nerve disorders and Lassitude by a course of the well-known 'tonic Phosferine. HIS SUPREMACY DEPENDS UPON PERFECT HEALTH. Of course, the fame and supremacy of this renowned young Athlete depend upon his being in perfect health, AND HE HIMSELF* SAYS THAT HE KEEPS HIS SYSTEM IN SPLENDID CONDITION BY AN OCCASIONAL DOSE OF PHOSFERINE. THE BUSINESS OF BEING WELL Plainly; if Phosferine can do so much for a man WHosm BUSINESS IT is TO BE WELL, it will do MUCH MORE for the average man, woman, or child who docs not enjoy such splendid vitality as the famous young Champion. MR. G. HACKENSCHMIDT writes:- I have been so delighted at the wonderful results derived from taking Phosferine that I have much pleasure in giving you this unsolicited testimonial. Owing to the continued strain of wrestling three or four times nightly for the last eighteen months I got very much run down—lassitude, and a general feel- ing of weariness. I consequently decided some few weeks back to take a holiday in Germany; the change did not seem to do me much good, but whilst in Berlin a friend of mine told me to try Phosferine, I followed his advice, and found it a splendid ton ic. A few bottles soon restored me to my old form. In neuralgia I have also found it exceedingly valuable. Strong men, you see, have their troubles as well as others. I am very grateful that your remedy was brought to my notice, as it has certainly proved an invaluable help to me. You will, therefore, understand how I value the remedy. I shall not fail to .recommend it to my friends. You can use this if you see fit, as I consider Phosferine is a Champiott remedy, and cannot be too well known."—Sept. 9th, 1904.
