ISTORY FOR TO-DAY. I -0 A Modern Peri. 1 It was only a Cinderella dance, but a brilliant, company was assembled in the splendiidly-appointed reception-rooms of the Coun/tess of Topaoki. The Countess always gave Cinderella dances, because the term implies the earliest possible departures, and the slightest possible refresh- Brent. The electric light. subdued by faintly- j tinted glass. flowed softly down on polished E'houlders and brilliantly flashing jewels, on the graceful farm of a young lady who was rising from the piano, her lips parted in pleasing smile, her golden head bent iu j acknowledgment of the hushed applauio her eong had called forth; it irradiated the exquisite for mo of three male exquisites who leaned languidly against the door posts, lighting up their blae silk waistcoats,. I embellished with buttons of pale pink corral, and causing the fine diamond studs that adorned their respective shirt-fronts to glow and scintillate with many coloured fires; but, alas, it only seemed to accentuate the lean and ha'f-starved appearance of two damsels seated near them. two Jiving painful protests against that growing evil, tho Cin- derella party. Had they net been bound hand and foot in the bonds of fashion they might h3X;} been comfortably clad, and still Picaeiant for the human eye to re^t upon. But as it was. with each particular hair scraped away from the nape of the elongated I neck to the crown of the head, the bodice shrinking down towards the waist, and the poor thinanns denuded of all adornment save the they only served vaguely to recall to the masculine mind a story, learnt in early youth, but now well- nigh forgotten, anent certain kino with strongly developed devouring propensities. 80 men ga.ve them a wide berth lest the analogy should be more perfect. Good style of girl. Miss Culture," said Number One, in a, tone of lofty patronage, j Dresses fairly well," observed Number Two, with equal condescension. | "And she can sing," remarked Number Three, as though this point had been doubt- ful while still lacking the cachet of his approbation. Dances divinely," added a. little man bustl- ing up, and this is my waltz," he continued, sic he bustled away again. Is he going to danoe?" languidly inquired Number One of his companions. ) Not an old buffer either," observed Number Two, in astonished credulity. How very eccentric," murmured Number Three. And they settled themselves wearily against the door pests again, a.nd the slight movement causing the costly diamonds to flash forth brighter fires. That hail" can't b9 all her own, you know," eagerly whispered one of Pharaoh's lean kine. Yes it is," returned the other with some reluctance. My cousin Ermyntrude's maid is sister to Ellaline Culture's maid, and so Ermyntrude knows for a. certainty tha.t she can stand upon it, my dear, actually stand upon it." They both looked sad for a moment, and then the one who had spoken first brightened up and &aid, Ah, well! of course, it's dyed." And her complexion is too good to be perfectly true," responded the other, and these convictions evidently brought consola- tion, for the society emiLo played around their thin lips once more. It was ten minutes to twelve, and tho-guests were beginning to depart. The energetic little man who had been dancing the final waltz with Miss Culture was encircling her fair form with multitudinous wraps. "We must take great care of you. Miss Culture, for our own sakee," said he, "to gaze on that exquisite face, to listen to that entrancing voice, to watch, those movements —so replete with gra;ce-is, indeed, a liberal education. If it really be more blessed to give than to receive, how thrice blessed must you be who have so much to bestow." Miss Culture smiled a gentle smile, for she knew that her social triumphs were more delightful to herself than they could pos- sibly be to the most admiring beholder. And now a sad thing befcl her, for on the very night of the Counters of Topacki's I Cinderella dance, Miss Culture contracted a severe cold, and this cold cruelly settled upon her lungs. Nob-cdy thought of blaming the fashionable evening attire of modern society. It was more comfortable and convenient to blame the severe weather. Modern skill and modern science did' all they knew to keep the King of Terrors at a respectful distance from so much beauty and grace, but at last skill and science were forced to admit that the fight was against them. They could not avert the inevitable blow. AH they could achieve now. was. to render it. aa soft and light as a caress. To this end a newly dis- covered drug was administered, and under ita influence Ella-line Culture dreamed a strange dream. She thought she was lying bound hand and foot, an icy weight pressed upon her heart, her limbs were numbed with cold; darkness gathered before her eyes, only her brain seemed alive, alive with burning, consuming fire. As the darkness grew the horror of it all increased, and yet she could not move one finger or utter one cry to tll how ehe was suffering. Suddenly a thousand flashing lights danced before her eyes, and a. sound as of roaring, surging waters filled her ears. A terrible cry burst from her lips as she started up. and with that supreme effort the bonds burst asunder and dropped from her like magic; the black darkness gave place to the rosy light of dawn, the roaring noise melted into softest melody, and she felt here- self being borne gently up and through the air becoming ever fresher and sweeter, and yet more balmy as Ehe ascended. And ever, as she floated upwards, the brightness below and around her sank into insignificance com- pared with the golden glory that lay before. At last she came to a golden gate, and the beauty of the- fair land that stretched be- I yond it dazzled and confused her. When her! eyes had grown accustomed to the glorious vision, she perceived standing behind the gate a v-emerable man, with long white beard and star-like eye?, which seemed to reflect the happiness that diffused itself everywhprei around; though ever and anon there would) I pass into them a far-av-ay look of sadness, as if some distant scene that he gazed on filled him with ineffable pain. A feeling she never remembered experiencing before pos- sessed her now; it was a sensation of awe and reverence. "Faither," she said, trembling, "how beauti- ful is the land that I see beyond the gate." "Daughter," he r&plied, regarding- her with fernd, grave eyee, "the beauty you admire there is a3 nothing compared with what iies I beyond. There aire other gates still, and beyond eaxfh gale is spread a country yet faaTex than, the last." JRt. me through, father." she oried, I see faces and heasr voices that I know.

Daughter," be said, thoee you hpMuk of can neither see your faoe nor hear your voice until you have passed this barrier, and that you cacmot pass until you have ren- dered an account of your stewardship." The eaganmees ia her face died away in.to humble sutariesioii, a frame of mind quite -unfamiliar to her. Father," she said humbly. ea-y on." "To ereryciiK1," pursued the sage, "to every. •one who enters the ead and troublous world from which you have just come, is confided some rare gift or gifts; it is in the power of each to cherish and cultivate these gifte, or to so neglect and stultify them that they become poor &nd worthOOdS. Yoa, I hop<?. my daughter, belonc to the &Mt œtcor:r i   you h?vf not hidden your taJsnt nnder a( brtshe: ?. Then her heart rose high within hr. for she knew that even in tlieae days of ittodern culture she had held her place with the most ardent worshippers of cult. "Father." she replied, "I had the gift of song. Many weary hours I spent in training and cultivating my voioe. and rested not T?ntil I had a?ta?ned' the hi?heet 9innacle of j perfection." "That i3 all very wen in its way, daugbter:' he rejained. "bat what e!se?" "Father," she said again, "I had the gift of intellect, a.nd liked not the dry st.udy of mathematics and dead, musty languages, yet at Girtc-n I pa-seed with flying colours and Came out- at the head of the list." "That is well a,k-o, daughter, for it argues patience and perseverance; but what else?" Father, I had the gift of beauty; the utmost care have I bestowed on my com- plexion that neither wind nor sun should mar it; mv hair also did I tend with oils, and unguenis, and toilsome brushing, until, as you see, it trails the ground behind me." His voice grew cold and stern. "Daughter, Father. I had the gift of great oharm of manoer; my native frankness tempered by maidenly re&er^e were thought to be entirely due to Nature, but it was by con- stant study cr the art which conceals art that I brought them into such perfect harmony." Daughter, and he waxed impatient, have you no tale to tell me of tending t,he sick, of feeding the hungry, or wiping away the tear of sorrow, or of imparting some of your knowledge to the poor and ignorant?" "Farther." she replied. "I have never mot any 6dck or hungry, or ignorant or sorrowful, in society; I have heard in truth t-hat such people do exist, but I have never been brought in contact wLtfh them." Well, my daugtbter, perhaps that is more ■thy misfortune than thy fault. Those who have had tihe care of thee were most to blame; hurt wfualt is that "-iatid once more his eyes grew graTa and pained—"I see in thy hand ?" Then pthe felt overcome with shame. "Thratt, fatiher, is a. poor faded little lily. I tried to throw it away indeed, but my fingers cla?ed involuntarily around its stem, and it seemed I could not. I was ashamed of carrying it. It has always been my pride to wear the finest and most exquisite exotics." Her beautiful oyea filled with tears of mortification. His voice grew cold and stern. Daughter, tiiat little flower you bear 1Il ¡ your hand was the most pracioue, of all the I gifts confided to your care. It is the pure and spotless emblem of your immortal soul, given to you tl)o tend, to guard, and to ohensJi. It lay in your power to have brought me the perfect blossom of a blame- less life. Had you been careful of it, it would have expanded under your care. Had you given it warmth and light it would have grown in beauty and graciousness with yourself. But, irkjt ?ad, what do I see? Tre>ateu with neglect, it has become dwairf and stunted. Hidden darkly away out of thought and sight, it seems scarcely to nave life at all. Ths lily is not stained and soiJed wit,h grevioui sin. it is true, so there is hope yet for thee, daughter. You may not "low pass through this golden gate, but you are permitted to return to earth for a term of years, and to nave time and opportunity to retrieve vour former carelessnes.s and error.' She turned sadly away. The wings that had borne her so lightly and joyously upwards felt heavy as I-eact as she pursued her downward way; the golden ligiht had faded, a-.id all around her looked grey and sad and dreary. Suddenly a black darkness fell upon her. but though she could eea nothing she could hear a hum of voices that she knew. They were talking, she thought, a long, long way off, and she lieaxd some one say: My dear madam, I rea-lly thought she was gone, but now I believe wit'a ezi-o she may yet. pill through it. The pulre is regaining strength, aud see. a faint colour returns to the face." She opened her eyes. Her mother and the doctor were bending over her. There was much talk of the triumph of medical skill a.nd science; for had they not succeeded in snatching a victim from the very graap of thoir chief enemy ? Only Ellaliiie knew that, like the Peri of old, ehe had been turned disconsolate from the gate of Para- dise. Will she profit by the respite? Who can tell?

Legal Tit-bits. POINTS OF LAW INTERESTING TO EVERYBODY, Intestacy, A person is said to die intestate when he or she dies without leaving a. will. Under those circumstances his affairs are administered by an administrator, who is appointed by the Court of Probate, the administrator usually being the party or one of the par- ties chiefly interested in the property to be administered. Before any portion of the deceased's estate can be divided amongst his relatives his debts must be paid. Subject to the payment of the debts the deceased's freehold property passes to the heir-in-law, subject to the rights of the husband or widow of the deceased as the case may be. The personal estate, which consists of prac- tica.Uy everything but freeholds and copy- holds, passes, subject to the rights of the deceased's husband or widow, as the case may be. to his next of kind. Personal pro- perty includes leaseholds. We will first con- sider how a husband's property pastes on his death. HUSBANDS PROPE-P.TY.-If a man dies without a will, leaving a widow and no children, the whole of his property, in- cluding freeholds, belongs to the widow absolutely if the value, after paying the debts, doeti not exceed £500. If the value exceeds £ 500, the widow is entitled to a firt charge of £ 500, the freeholds and the personal, estate bearing the charge in proportion to their respective values. The widow is also entitled to one-half of the residue of the personal estate after pay- ment of the proportion of the £ 500 chargeable thereon, the other half pass- ing to the husband's next of kin. If, huw- ever, the husband has had children who have predeceased him, but have left issue, the widow only takes one-third of the residue instead of one-half, the issue tak- ing the other two-thirds. If a man dies, leaving a, widow and children, the widow ta.kes one-third of the personal property after payment of the debts, and the chil- dren or their descendants take the other two-thirds. If a, child has received ,1, sub- stantial advance from his father fur a particular purpose the advance must be brought into account so as to equalise the children's shares. If a child has died leaving issue such issue take their parents' share. This ié,; what is known as a distribution per stirpes. For example, if a man dies leaving one son. named Thomas, a, daughter named Mary, live grandchildren, being tho children of a deceased SMJ, William, and two grand- children, being the children of a, deceased daughter Ann, subject to the widow's right to a third of the estate, Thomas, and Mary each take one-fourth, the children of William one-fourth between them, and the children of Ann another fourth between them. If the hus- band dies leaving only children or the descendants of children, and no widow, the whole of his personal property parses to his children or their descendants. If .a man dies leaving freehold property, J the widow is .entitle-II to one-third of the income of such property during her life by way of dower. Subject to her life interest the property passes to the deceased's heir-at-law. The widow's i, igIhts i in copyholds differ according to the eus..1 torn of the manor. P.T these pa,:s. on the death of the intestate, according to such custom. WIFE'S PROPERTY.—If the wife dies leaving no will the, whole of her personal pro- perty passes to her husband absolutely. The wife's children taie no part of the personal estate, if the wife has had ai child by her husband who might have j inherited her freehold property her has-1 band will be entitled to the income of such property during 'his life. This I)OLng wihat is known as an estate by the: courtesy. It is immaterial if the childi only lived one hour. For table showing how, subject to what lias been already said in this column, the estate of an intestate is divided, see Law for the Million."

THE TRIPLE CROWN. NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP DECIDED. Ireland Defeated at Swansea. [By "FORWARD."] I w ares has annexed the highest honour in Rugby football for the fourth time, Iter victory over Ireland at Swansea on Saturday entitling her to a year's posses- sion of that nebulous prize—the Triple Crown. The game wa. one of the hardest ever played between LB. o national teams, every mail on either side exerting him- self with all the vigour and determina- tion of a hero. Forward play of a higher standard has seldom been seen, and those critics who have long nursed the belief that the success of Welsh football is entirely dependent upon back play had their minds disabused of that erroneous notion. The foundation of Saturday's victory was in the solid, hard, and brilliant work of the Cymric forwards. The slightest weakness or relaxation of effort on their part would have been dis- astrous. The Irish forwards Were beaten at their own game, and. like good sports- men, they acknowledged the fact and paid their tribute generously to the skill ?rous i v to the --kill and strength with which they had to con- tend. The splendid play of the Welsh eight was of value not only as an element of the first importance in the winning of the game, but as proof positive of the versatility and resource of Welsh football, and there ought to be no more idle talk in the press or anywhere else of weakness in our front Jinc. That weakness has only existed for some years past in the imaginations of those who are influenced by the consuming desire to see Wales beaten in her international engagements. It is quite true that the two tries were scorcd by the Welsh backs, but their in- ception can be traced to the cleverness of the forwards in controlling the scrums sufficiently well to be able to heel out the ball. The first try was due largely to a brilliant individual effort on the part of Wyndhani Jones, who made amends for an indifferent start by thus contributing the brightest and most exhilarating inci- dent in the. whole game. The try scored by E. T. Morgan was also a perfect speci- men of dash and opportunism happily blended. The London Welshman showed intelligent anticipation by getting into position on the blind side of the scrim- mage, and, taking the ball on the full run, gave the Irish defence no chance. But before these successes had been achieved the Welshmen had passed through a brief period of depressing gloom. Ireland, though playing against a strong wind, had drawn first blood, and were shaping so Avell that visions of defeat began to hover round. Irish patriots who had gathered: together from the Emerald Isle and all parts of this country were frantic with delight when the referee was observed to award a try to Robinson. Scores Jbf them carried pretty and attractive green flags, and they waved these in the air and shouted with all the gusto of enthusiastic Irish- men. The scene at this moment was one to leave an impression on the mind. But the joy of these loyalists was only brief in its duration. The Welshmen rallied gallantly, and by easy stages raised the siege. The first try was scored by Wyndhain Jones in such a favourable position that George Davies could hardly have failed to convert it. Very little was seen of the green flags after this, and many of them disappeared altogether after Teddy Morgan had darted over the line in the corner and George Davies had added the extra, couple of points with a superb kick from the touch-line. The angle could not have been a more difficult- one and a finer goal has never been kicked in an international match. The wearers of the leek were now in a com- placent state of mind, realising as they did that Ireland would have to score twice at least and, possibly, thrice to place the issue in her favour. There was some prospect of this being done when ends were changed and the Hibernians had the wind behind their backs. But the I Welsh forwards, who were fresher than the Irish eight, improved tremendously in their piay. and were in no mood to give their opponents opportunities for scoring. Willie Llewellyn demonstrated at this period his excellent judgment as a cap- tain. His instruction to his men was to keep the ball close and take no risks beyond passing the ball out on the blind side. Owen and Wyndham Jones played their respective parts admirably in the I performance of their work in this special department. Some people will argue that the Welsh scoro might have been I augmented had the ball been sent out direct to the centres; but I am inclined to agree with the policy adopled by Llewellyn. Wales had a lead of seven points, and by maintaining that lead had ?tite Triple Crown securely in her grasp. Why open out any movements that in- volved the danger of presenting the Irish- men with the opportunities they desired? The game, as a spectacle, suffered from this policy, but there was a great issue at stake, and as nothing succeeds like suc- cess, there can be nothing but commen- dation for the sound; tactful leadership of the Cymric forces. I do not remember a single, international game in which there was such a marked absence of pass- ing bouts by the Welsh backs, nor can I re-call an occasion upon which the Welsh forwards so skilfully adapted themselves to a style of play so completely demoralis- ing to their opponents. Some of the Welsh forward rushes eclipsed the bost efforts of the Irish forwards, and had the men changed their jerseys most people who saw the match would have exclaimed, "What a typical Irish rush" on several occasions. Wales has gained proficiency in every department, and the time has come when we can repose absolute confi- dence in our forwards as well as iu our backs. Naturally, the figure of supreme inte- rest on the Irish side was that of Basil M'Lear. WllO..v- reputation had preceded him. His play in this match differed vastly from his brilliant exhibition against England at Cork, but it would be wrong, nevertheless, to write him down a,s a failure. Opportunity makes the man in football as it does in most things, and the dashing Dublin Fusilier, it must be co-n- fessed, was too closely watched by Gabo and Nicholls to bring off t hose sensational | runs which made him the hero of the match at Cork. His greatest fault was that of passing mechanically to his wing [ before making any effort to break through. His great strength was not so well utilised as it might have been, and I must say thnt the M'Lear of Swansea was but. a shadow of the M'Clear of Cork. In passing judgment on his play, however, let it not be overlooked that the defence of the back division was remark- ably sound, especially that of -Nicliolk- whose tackling was never more effective1 in his best Owen, at the base of the scrum, played a wonderful game, and, assuredly, it Vill be a long time before we shall look upon his like again. So well did every man do his duty that I almost regret having individualised at all. Wales has abundant reason to be proud of her elect in Rugby football, and she is proud of her men. It i, no mean achievement for a little country like ours to prove her upremacy over England, Scotland, and Ireland, and who can calculate the good that has been done in making Wales and the Welsh more respected by other nations. What would' have happened had Ire- land won is best left to the imagination. Bringing a baud over from Ireland, the number of green flags carried, and the wearing of so much shamrock conveys the impression that tho Irishmen anticipated a victory. That they did not deserve that victory they frankly acknowledged with all the chivalry and sportsmanship which are such admirable characteristics of the raoe.

-+- THE NEW- PRELATEI REV. J. P. HUGHES ON HIS I ELEVATION, I The newIy?appoiT)ted prelate of LlandaW- 'I the Rev. J. I'. Hnghs-on Sv.nday morning conducted tho service at St. Paul's Church, Llantris-ant, when there was a large attend- ance of worshippers On entering the pulpit he seemed visibly affected, and before pro ceeding: with his sermon touchingly referred to his appointment to the Bishopric of Llan- daif. saymcr: —"It may, perhaps, be expected- that I may thi3 morning say a, word or two about the great change about to take place, and which hae been made known during the past week. Th? first feeling which comes to my mind this morning is one of great sorrow a-tid regret at the thought of the time eo near when I must e-ay farewell to my dear, kind friends in the parish of Llan- trisant, whero I have lived so happily for the P,-t.-t twenty years. When the call came— which I can assure you was unsought, unde- sired. and uiiexlweted-I felt, after consulting my trusted friends and neighbours, that I should hardly be justified in refusing to face the great responsibilities a.nd difficulties that must necessarily accompany such au important office as that to which I have been called. I am glad to thinl. however, that there will be some little timo before I am called upon to leave yoii-all my friends— here. It may. perhaps, interest, you to know this much—that I heard this morning from the Archbishop of Canterbury that the consecration c-a-unot take place until May, and, potaibly, not until a, month later. There are many questions involved, and it will be my duty to seo the archbishop in the course of the coming week to talk over this and other matters. Nobody knows when the consecration will take place, there- fore I shall have further opportunities of seeing you. Meanwhile, may I venture to ask for your prayers that I may be helped and strengthened and guided in the difficult and very important duties that I will shortly have to undertake." The Vicarage of Llantrisant is vested in the bishop of the dioeese, bub the present vacancy having been created by the Crown, the next presentation of the living falls to the C»own. The question &eecm« now to have risen as to whether it is the Prime Minister or the Lord Chancellor who will make the appointment. It is most probable that the Prime Minister will do so, but it depends upon some question connected with the valuation made in the reign of Henry VIII., from which it appears that the dedication of the benefice is given differently to what it at present. The church from time immemo- rial has been dedicated to the three Saints, Illtyd, Gwynno. and Tyfcdwg, whereas it is asserted that the dedication at one period was different. The bishop-elect wishes us to thank his numerous friends in all parts of South Wales and Monmouthshire for their kind mêS of congratulation upon his a ppointmen I. The letters and tele-grams—a large number of which nre in English a.nd Welsh-Mi-. Hughes has hitherto been unable to acknowledge, but he hopes to he' able to do so in dne course. A HARD-WORKING PAEISII PRIEST. Preaching at Mary's Church, Barry Dock, on Sunday morning, the Rev. Lemuel J. James, M.A.. senior curate of Cadoxton- Barry, made reference to the appointment of the new Bishop of Llandaff. He was glad that the Prime Minister had chosen as the new Bishop of Llandaff an experienced and hard- working parish priest of this dioceee. The new bishop had been a, zealous worker in important parishes in the diocese for the past 30 years, and in addition to knowing the diocese intimately, he was familiar and eonld sympathise with the trials and difficul- ties which the parochial clergy had to encounter. He hoped and believed tha.t under the episcopacy of the now bishop they would have a true father in God. Mr. Balfour deserved the congratulations of the clergy of the diocese for havin,g made so worthy and fitting a. choice from amongst themselves, and he hoped the work of the new bishop would be as largely bleesed as it had been as a parish priest. A NONCONFORMIST WELCOME. Preaching on Sunday morning at diaries- street Congregational Church. Cardiff, the Rev. J Williamson, M.A., alluded to the appointment o the new bishop. He said: -Non- conformists will rejoice, as well as members of his own communion, that a man of such sincere Christian faith and such zealous Christian service, as well as a man of such catholic sympathies, has been elevated to a position of such influence amongst us." LLANDAFF DIOCESAN FUND. Archdeacon Brace, preaching at Llandaff Cathedral on Sunday morning, prefaced his sermon by an appeal for the diocesan fund, during which he referred to the work of the late bishop, and pleaded for earnest support for his successor. He said the annual appeal in behalf of the four diocesan societies was made this year under circumstances which must surely enforce the appeal. It came to them recommended by the earnest entreaties of one who, by his own generous example and by the insistent efforts of his life, added so enormously, and yet insufficiently for its needs, to the financial resources of the diocese. If only as a tbanksonering for his life and work, so great a gift to them, and in recognition of the strong desire which lay nearest to his heart, they should offer freely and gladly to a fund which owed its incep- tion to his care aid forethought. But. if rcvercnce and respect for the memory of the "labourer whose task is o'er" appealed to them, so in no less measure was their sym- pathy aroused and their generous assistance invoked on behalf of him now designated as his successor. Among the many grave difficul- ties and perplexities which awaited him. among the many burdens laid upon him, none would press more seriously or more instantly than those conueeted with financ,e. They owed it to the high office be would hold, they owed it, might he say, with personal know- ledge, to his own personal qualities and char- acter, to give him not only the support of their earnest prayers, of their loyal, filial attachment, and of their unstinted service, but for his work's sake, and in their own highest interests, the gift, regularly, gene- rously. and cheerfully given, of the means wherewith God had blessed them. They could ¡ hardly bo deaf to the appeal so enforced. TRIBUTE BY VICAR OF LLANDAFF The Vicar of Llandaff, preaching at the evening service, said the diocese had reason to he thankful that the ehif pastor who had been chosen in place of him who had been taken from them was a worker approved in other spheres of labour, and we)) fitted for the high position to which he had been un- expectedly called. He itbe vicar) spoke from a personal knowledge of their new bishop. whose friendship he had enjoyed since, in September, 1872. they were ordained iu that cathedral church, one a priest and the other a deacon. They had worked hand in hand for five years as fellow-curates under one of t.he grand old men of Wales, the late Arch- deacon Griffiths, and since those early days they had been thrown together, for Llan- trisant was the most important parish in I the Rural Deanery of Llandaff. He thought that in the pastor of the diocese they would look for sympathy, encouragement, gentle- ness. and a large-hearted toleration which I would see and recognise good work every- where in and out of the Church. These they would find in their new bishop. He would be the friend of a-ll, inspiring others to work by his own example. As a curate in a large parish, where his worts was still gratefully remem béred; as the vicar of two large parishes, iu the administration of which he had given proof of great powers of organisation, he had been a strenuous and successful worker, and he (the preacher) ventured to predict that tbc, work begun by Bishop Ollivant and continued by Bishop Lewis would s'o on under the wise and sympathetic government of their new diocesan. Xo one had a liner or nobler con- ception of duty than he, and it was for the clergy and the laity to rally round him. as th,,y ha(i bi,, they had supported his revered predecessors, and they would see the old historic Church still lengthening her cords and strengthen- ing her stakes, and still, by her work, striking her roots deeper in the hearts of the people.

Disappointment was expressed at Llan- brad-aeli at t.be action of Merthyr Vale in not I fulfilling their fixture on the Charles-street ground on Saturday. Tue match was anxiously looked forward to. as Merthyr Vale I (since that memorable cup-tie two years ago, which was, without question, the mosit exciting that has ever taken place on the ground) are warm favourites at Llanbradach. The match was extensively advertised, and this, together with the fact that. the local collieries wer-e idle to-day, has resulted in a large monetary less for the Rhymnev Valley club. The reason given for not ful- filllll the fixture. according to the corre- spondence received from Mr. Hugtfies, the Merthyr Vale secretary, is that several of their players were going to Swansea to see Wyndhani Jones-who, by the way. is a native of Merthyr Vae-play. The matt-er will be placed before the next Association Board. FINAL SOCCER SCORES. Treb arris, 6; Barry District, 2. Pontlottyn. 5; Porth, 0. Aberdare, 6; Cardiff Corinthians, 0. Holton, 3; Barry, 0.

WELSH HOCKEY. I INTERNATIONAL MATCH AT NEWPORT. Newport had its iiitcrnatior.al match as well on Saturday, but how infinitesimal an interest it atroused compared with that taken in the more popular form of international match aft, Swansea. It, was the eighth meeting be- tween these teams, and Wales took the field hopeful of checking England's long and un- interrupted scries of successes. Considering the heavy rain 'of the past few days, the ground was in a fairly good condition. At the last moment tho Welsh team underwent a great change through some difference of opinion between the North and South over selection of players, and the match practically re- solved itself into a contest between England and Newport. The teams linoo out as fol- lows;— I England: Goal. L. Parker (North); backs. H. C. Boycott (Midlands) and C. Pimm (South); half-backs, J. H. Burns (Midlands), Jt\ F. Blatherwick (North), and P. M. Davies (Mid- lands); forwards. F. B. Peel (North), A. 8. B. Ranger (Midlands), S. H. Shoveller (South), T. Pethick (West), and Eric Green (South). Wales- Goal, E. H. Francis (Newport): backs, Geoffrey Davies (Newport) and T. M. Bellingham (Swansea); half-backs, Allan Davies (Newport), R Lyne ( Newport)', and (iuy Jones (Newport); forwards, P. N. Bay lis (Newport), E. Baylis (Newport), Guy Davies (Newport), E. W. Evans (Cardifn, and T. W. Pearron (Newport). Umpires: M. Baker (England) and F. H. Dauroey (Wales). England immediately took up the attack and invaded the Welsh territory. Baylis, however, came to the rescue, and skirted the ball up the field along the touch- line. The English forwards again went off with a splendid dribble, and reaching the mouth of the Welsh goal Shoveller put in an effective shot. The Welshmen next came away with a fine rush. but bad play on the part of Allan Davies almost let the English- men in for all easy goal. The visitors con- tinur-d to attack with great interest, and they experienced hard luck in not scoring, the ball striking the post on one occasion. Francis was put to a stiff test, but he proved equal to the occasion, and saved an inevitable goal by kicking the ball. E. Baylis came away splendidly up the field. and he had only Pirnm to paf? when he unfortunately over- ran the ball. Encouraged by this initial success, the Welshmen played vigorously, and gave the Englishmen an anxious few minutes. P. N. Baylis g?t a chance, but he ? shot wide. Willi a clever individual dribble one of the English forwards got right up the field. He was about going to drive for goal. when Guy Davies. who had rushed after him. cffeckd a capital save. The Englishmen were. again on the warpath, but their shooting seemed bad. Fast and spirited play followed, both teams doing their ehare of attack. The English for all tha.t proved the most dangerous, but erratic shooting and splendid I defensive play by Francis saved the situa- tion. Just before half-time Pearson all but scored for Wales, being overtaken in the last few yards. Half-time score. Goals.  England 1 I IV, les 0 W als 0 Bad shooting again robbed England of two goals in quick succession, upon the re-start Shoveller, after cleverly working his way right up to the -oil shooting the ball right over the net. The passing of the Englishmen courted admiration, and there was a further round of applause when Francis, the Welsh goal, rushed out of his position and kicked the ball well back into play. With a clever bit of combined play the Welsh forwards went right up the field, and E. Baylis expe- rienced hard luck in missing the net. The Welshmen were now going great guns, and gave no corner to their oppo- nents. Twice they looked dangerous, but bv way 01 variation Peel worked his way up' the field, a.ud, centreing to Ranger, the la?t-named found little difRcuItv in •getting in a successful drive for England. A low minutes later the same player shot) from a corner another successful goal. The I Englishmen continued to attack, and their I fourth goal was scored by Pethick. Thus three goals were s('cù in this half in almost aa? many minutes. Pea'r?on brought off a splen-¡ did dribble, and, with a little better support, mi'ht har scored. The visiting forwards combined brilliantly, and, after several corners. Shoveller shot from a bunch and bct, the Welsh goal-keeper, who had rushed out I to kick. A pretty bout of passing between the English backs was spoiled by a slovenly I pass in the ring. Dribbling well, the visit ing forwa.rds again worked their way back. and Pethick scored the sixth goal. Final score Goals. I Eii-Iand 6 I1 !5n. g I COMMENTS. I Haviug regard to the sodden condition of the ground, it was a remarkably fast game; but the score does not indicate truly the rela. tive merits of the teams on the day's-form. The Welsh goal-kesper, by his marvellous play, -Lved what would unquestionably have been a huge defeat. The Welshmen did as much attacking as the Englishmen, but they [ lacked that pretty combination among their ) forwards and backs which was characteristic of the English te-am. At the .same time, the Englishmen ,s play was not faul'tless. for their shooting during the greater part of the game was erra-tic, and in the first half particularly they missed quite a number of chances. Ore of the English goals, viz.. that ecorecl by Shoveller, should not have been allowed at sill, as he scored through a man fouling. The Welshmen also missed a few goals in the first half through injudicious shooting. Shoveller was a stalwart on the English Side, and had to be carefully watched. Allan Davies, who played right half for Wales, proved himself to be very weak. In spite of the fact that the majority cf the players in the Welsh team were Newp ort men. it is generally conceded that it was the best tea.m the Welshmen have played this season, Pearson' and Baylis played well for Wales. I ENGLAND V. IRELAND. At Dublin on Saturday the following team wa chosen to represent Ireland agaÜwt Eng" land at Surhiton on March 25:—Goal. E P C. Holme*; backs, W. Peterson and J. W. Peter- son half-backs, J. Baraford, J. E. Mille, and N Peterson forwards. F. H. Hewsou, R. M Wil- liam. G. C. Smyth. E. Dun lop, and W. M. John- stone

I THE SECRET ABOUT ZAM-BUK I INTERESTING PACTS ABOUT A HOUSEHOLD NEED. A clear, healthy skin is a treasure rarer during the bleak month of March tbcu at any other season. If one has escaped the skin eruptions which are often the outcome of the winter's clo-o confinement, then rough- ness, scaling, and other blemishes are lialble to rise. Zam-Buk, the new healing balxa, forms au ideal emollient for both emer- gencies. Whoever walchee the healing of a wound or chronic soro with Zam-Buk is face to face with one of Nature's greatest wonders. The healing process thug set in motion is nothing but a phenomenon of regeneration—a natural process of replacing destroyed by new ones. The antiseptic substances contained in Zam-Buk first attack am*, kill off the microbes or germs that the can. of the inflam- mation or disease, and then the hea-ling ingredients proceed to build up .new tissue to re-plaee that which has become damaged or diseased. New cells appear like a builder extending 1., new row of houses; the whole of the wounded area is -gradually overlapped; and soon it is difficult to tell where, the injury lias been, so perfect and co mp-lete is the growth of the new skiu. The secret of Zam-Buk was discovered by j an eminent cheini.rt, who recognised the imperfection of existing ointments, salves, and embrocations (which too often contain rancid animal fats ar:d mineral poisons), and turned his inquiries for the right article in the direction of those rare medicinal herbs growing beyond the borders cf civilisation. His shrewdness brought him in touch with some of Nature's grandest secrets; and the prod-option of Zam-Buk, after a long period of experimentation, marks a rew era, iu the art of healing. Zam-Buk is Nature's perfect cure for chronic sores, chafed skin, swellings,, abscesses, pimples, ulcers, eczema, scalp disease, running sores, piles, bad legs, diseased ankles, festering 'sores, poisoned wounds, cut?, bruises, burns, scalds, sprains; and for soothing all aches and pains. prico 16. lid. per box, or 2s. 9d. for large family size (2s. 9d. box contains nearly four times the Is. lid.); of all chemists, cr post free from the Zam-Buk Co., 4.
