FOR WOMEN FOLK. HOMELY HINTS AND DAINTY DISHES. Wasp soup is looked upon as a great delicacy in China. The little outside patch pocket is a feature on many shirtwaists. On the smartest shoes the metal-rimmed eyelet is succeeded by a ronnd embroidered buttonhole, through which ribbon is laced. Fetching turbans and sailors of black patent leather trimmed with white and black wings are shown for the motoring maid. Never rub and wash silk or satin, but soak them in a suds of castile soap and borax, rinse in cold water, and roll very tightly on a curtain pole; when dry it will unroll and look like new. Potato Safad Take six cold boiled potatoes, two large Tieets, two heads of lettuce, one-half onion (grated). The lettuce should be washed care- fully and dried between towels, discarding all except the best crisp leaves. Slice the beet. Put some of the lettuce leaves around the salad bowl, or, lacking this, on a platter. then shred with a fork a layer of potato, grate a little of the onion and let the juice drop on the potato. Tear some of the small white lettuce leaves for the next layer, then add a few pieces of beet. Repeat this until the materials are used up, being careful to have the top covered well with dressing; scatter the capers over the top, and it is ready for the table. Care of the Hair The hair is quickly affected by the dirt that is blowing and must be kept fresh and clean. To wash it oftener than once a month is an error that may result in losing the greater part of it. and this applies to hair that is oily as well as to that which is dry. It is possible, though. to brash out much of the dust, getting a dry cleaning, as it were. These women who are willing to spend money on this part of the toilet can get the same effect by using white corn meal as fine as can be ground. Perfume with a little pow- dered orris root, and rub a quantity of it dry into the hair and bring the powurr through the long part. Then with a long fibre brush remove all the meal. This is not a difficult thing to do if the brush has long fibres. The strokes neel not be hard, and, indeed, should not be, or the hair will be pulled out. The best way of brushing is to hold the hair out in one hand and brush through each strand, beginning near the hand. and working down to the head. Caramel Toffee Put into a clean saucepan six pounds of dark brown sugar, a pint and a half of boil- ing water, and a. quarter of a pound of fresh butter, vanilla, ratafia, or lemon flavouring to taste, and boil slowly without stirring until a little dropped into cold water becomes firm. Another variety of the same is pro- duced by boiling the caramel until when dropped into the water it forms, if rubbed between the flng-er and thumb, a .soft ball. Have ready the stiffly-whipped whites of eight eggs, and when the syrup has reached the soft ball stage ponr it slowly on the egg. beating hard and steadily all the time. Con- tinue beating until it is thick, and when it is cold it will be quite solid. Chopped tilmcnds, chestnuts, walnuts, angelica, cocoa-nut. or citron can be stirred into the ca,ra,inel when it is ready to be taken from the fire. Grit for the Chicken Run Prbpa i: Dot- generally known th-ai poultry mus have sharp stones cf some kind or another to grind tiieir food with. Just as we griTid or masMoaie our feed wi.h our teeth, so do- fowls in like manner grind or masticate their food with the aid of grit. Poultry-keepers do not give this subject t-haz tkoiig-nt or consideration which it certainly deserves, as very fa- of them pay any ai..e. tioa to whether their birds have" sl1,rp grlt or not. If they d? occasionally thrc-w d?wn a handful of broken c-??kcry, :?.y tt^iink that it Rhould serve the birds fcr weeks. Perhaps most of then do not' unc!it t.n "d how much the health of their birds depends J upon having a plentitul supply of good :>harp grit. Small shingle or coarse sand gathered from the seashore is of no value whatever to poultry. Very little of either the shingle cr ean-d is sharp enough to aid the birds to di,g:'3t their food. Birds that are not kept well suppii-el with goo-d sharp grit, caanctt- be expected to lay anything like the number of eggs which are laid by birds that have every attention in th's respect. Grit is of as much importance to ili-e fowl? as their focd; for of w':ia-' L value is fo-od without vhe necessary ni'aHerial for convert.ing it into nourishment? And this is exactly what grit docs. It grinds the food in the gizzard and passes it off through the various channels cf the body to its respective functions—viz., to bone, to flesh, 10 blood, to feather, and to egg-production. In keeping fowls well siippl E-d with grit no loss will be occasioned if a few small boxes a.r.e made with one end projecting about 3m. higher than the other three sides of the box, and the box nailed to one of the posts in the run about 6wi. from the ground. By this means the grit is kept clean and there is no waste, and the birds soon, learn to g) to it when they require grit. 'Birds that are supplied with gru a.t intervals are never in such good condition as those that have a pieni ful supply of i.t. Young chickens should have grit- mixed in their soft food first thing in the morning. Very little money is needed to provide the birds with all the necessary elements required to keep them in thorough h-tialth, and then their owners have the satis- faction of kuowng that. by careful and judi- cious management, and by ke?pin? their birds supplied with good sound food, cle&n wa,?er, scrupulously clean and well-ventilated roosting houses, a. good dust hs?h. and Ja?? but not le?t. a good supply of sli.??p gri.tj ,h,'?r birds are not only in good ',le-al?t'4, they oa.n show a handsome balance on the right side a.t th-e end of tu year.

She looked very pretty, in her morning-dress of fluted white lawn, with a breakfast cap of Swiss muslin and rose-coloured ribbons that were peeu- liarly becoming to her olive skin and large velvety black eyes. More money, Victoria?" he repeated, with a scarcely perceptible knitting of the brows. "Are you not getting unreasonable? Do not keep you liberally supplied with all that I have to spare?" But it's so mortifying to go shopping with Mrs. Hyde and Mrs. Bonnington and have to stand by while they are purchasing the sweetest things at such bargains?" Don't go shopping with them then; that's my advice." j "You would shut me up then from all amusement and society?" "Nonsense. Victoria! You know better than that! Here are your prettily furnished house, your garden, your little conservatory, to amuse you!" I'm tired of them alI." said the pretty! bride. "One cannot be contented with the. same thing for ever." If you wanted a perpetual change, a con- tinued whirl of excitement, you should have married a rich man." Don't be cross, John," said Victoria, ooaxingly. "But you know all our neighbours about here are tolerably well off, and I don't want to be left behind. I shall be mortified to death if I can't have a croquet party in July." I have no especial objection to that," said her husband. I suppose it need not necessarily be expensive? "Not so very," said Victoria. "Of course, we must have a band, and the sweets and ices from the confectioners." Wouldn't your piano and a little home- made cake and ice-cream do? "What nonsense, John! Do you suppose I could ask our stylish neighbours to such a twopenny sort of affair as that?" "They would know it was as good as we could afford." "And I need a lace parasol terribly. And | oh! John, I bad forgotten about Mrs. Lacy's 1 d cream-coloured ponies." "I hope, for goodness, sake, she don't want you to buy them ?" No. of course not. But she says I may use them while she's at Scarborough. Isn't it kind of her ?" I daro say it's very kind," said John Hale. ruefully; but did you chance to know how much a pair of ponies costs in the keeping— to say nothing of the expense of the groom?" Oh, if you're going to stoop to such petty considerations as that Well, we'll use them if you like. I dare say we shall manage somehow." "And the croquet party? Only thirty or forty people—just to pay our social debts; it's leo shabby to be behind-hand in such things. It you'll be as economical as you can about it And the parasol?

Mrs. Haie was satisfied, with the grudging absent so reluctantly screwed out of her hus- ba :1<1. She gave the croquet- party, and had the satisfaction of hearing on all sides that it was the most elegantly gotten-up little affair of the season in Hollcv/ay-road.

"Do you, sir?" A ghastly look came over the young man's features, as if he were in pain. "Impossible!" At all events, it is worth looking into," said Denny. The circle of suspicion seems to be narrowing down. Do you mind sitting up for a night or two?" Not at ail, sir, if you desire it." I'm sorry to ask it of you, as you haven't seemed well this last week or two." Pray don't mention it. I am well enough." saiU Hale, almost impatiently. It was the first night of his vigil—a dark, tempestuous midnight, with rain falling out- side, and the rush of the equinoctial winds wailing down the chimney. Mr. Reginald Denny had gone heme, but some unanahssd I notion induced him to return, quietly and by stealth, towards two o'clock in the morning, Letting himself in by his own private key. with a word of re-assurance to the alarmed watchman, who paced the warehouse, he noiselessly entered the counting-house. The safe, the money and valuable papers were kept, was wide open. Kneeling before it. with both hands fulJ of bank- notes and bills, hurriedly transferring some to an open leather case in hi" right hand, and putting others back, was John Halo himself. In an instant Mr. Reginald Denny's iron grasp was on his arn. "So I have got at the root of the matter at last." said he. in a deep prtern voice. So you are the burglar. John 1I3.le!" "Ah!" exclaimed the culprit, in dismay. Have mercy!" "Mercy on a heartless wrctd ? You shall pay the full penalty of your ingratitude and crime." Think for one moment, sir, of the situa- bon in vrtiich I have been piivccd hy an extravagant wife, whom I fondly, tenderly love." Her follies are no excuse for your dis- honesty. I have placed unlimited tn-st in you—this is my reward. Had I not fortun- ately arrived on the spot, to-morrow morning would have seen me a beggar, and the viper I have warmoo and nourished laughing at his dupe." White with rage and dismay Hale sprang to his feet and confronted the man whom he had so long been systematically robbing. You have discovered me," he cried, in stifled accents, but you never shall convict me." There was a vivid flash, the report of a pistol, and the next instant John Hale lay dead before the eyes of the horrified mer- chant, It was not so much his own fault as it was his wife's." people said when the ugly facts connected with John Hale's suicide leaked out. "He was weak, but not naturally wicked, a.nd he persecuted him mercilessly for money. Poor girl! Her dress and fashion and luxuries were dearly bought." And Victoria Hale, sitting pale, and agonised in her deep widow's weeds, knew as well as if supernatural hands had written it in fiery letters on the wall, that ehe had 1 killed her husband! )

CAPTURE OF A SHARK A GRUESOME DISCOVERY. All exciting experience with a shark is the main topic of conversation with the passen- gers on the P. and 0. steamship Syria, which arrived recently in Tondoti from Calcutta. Near Port Said an old shark, accompanied by tour or five others of tender years, was noticed hovering round the boat in a mood of genial anticipation. The hard-hearted ship's crew responded to this flattering attention by throwing out a, shark-hook attached to a elhain and >02, which the well-fed man-eater played with for hours. The leg of pork on the hook slipped off, and one of the prongs was fixed in the shark's jaw. A courageous tar put out in a boat, straddled the shark, a.nd rop<'d the new-found prey, first by the shoulders and then by the tail. Still showing signs of life, the huge monster was hoisted on doeck by means of the ship's crane, when the dangerous tail was cut off. On the shark being cut up there were found in the stomach a man's head, three men's hats, and two fowls. It had been the intention of some present to make use of the shark's jaws and teeth, hut on the discovery of recently-devoured human remains the dissected body was at once consigned to the deep.

South African Floods. A LAKE EXTENDING FOR MILES Hawkey (Cape Colony), Saturday.—The irri- gation works on the Gamtoos River have been destroyed by the floods. The damage done is more extensive than has hitherto been lealiscd. Thousands of acres under cultiva- tion are submerged ten feet, and the valley of the Gamtoos is converted into a lake extending for miles. The number of deaths caused by the floods is unknown. Brave rescues have been eff(-ct.d.-Reuter.

It is stated that attempts have been made to cause a short circuit, with the object of damaging t,be in s t r u men ts.—Cent ra 1 News.

Legal I it-bits. INTERESTING POINTS OF LAW Statutes of Limitation In ordei to prevent 6tale claims the law PiOvides that actions shall not be mought after the expiration of certain periods. Actions for Money Lent, &c. Actions upon contracts not under seal, such as actions to recover money lent or the price of goods sold, must be brought within eix years from the date when the plaintiff might have brought his action. The defen- dant cannot successfully plead the Statute of Limitations if Lq has acknowledged the deb: in writing within the statutory period. cr if he has paid a part of the debt. or any interest in respcot of k. during that- time. Any acknow- ledgment must be signed by the defendant. If a debtor declines to acknowledge the debt or to make a payment in respect of it, the proper course is to iesue a writ against him and to obtain judgment. If the writ cannot be served an order for substituted service should ba obtained, or the writ should bo renewed every six months. A judgment or the renewal of the writ will prevent the debt from becoming statute barred.

"A SAD MISTAKE." Asked for his ticket at Vauxhall, Ernest S. Jephson, of Birdhurst-rise, South Croydon, replied Season." Challenged to produce it he said he had left it at home. After his name and address had been taken he wrote to the manager of the South- Western Company on paper with lithographed heading, "The Stock Exchange, London," and supplemental address, Wr.terford Lodge, Long Ditton. Surrey I am staying here for a mo:ith, and for the pa-st twelve days have .aken a daily ticket from Surbiton. This morning, as we approached Vauxhall, I felt in my pocket, but my ticket was m: and as that is such a lame to tell a collector I tried tr past, as season." Afterwards, Lween Vauxhall and Waterloo, I found the missing ticket under the seat. When Jephson was summoned at Westmin- ster yesterday with travelling with intent to defraud, evidence was called to show that the ticket was bought on the evening of the same day. Mr. Curtis Bennett (to defendant): You travelled a little after nine in the morning. Have you anything to say to this?—Defen- dant Only that it was a sad mistake. Mr. Curtis Bennett: It certainly was, and an exceedingly oad case of fraud. It is a good job for you that you did not venture to get in the box to bolster up that story of tho lost ticket. If you had you would have been prosecuted for perjury. Now you will pay a line of '•Os. and eight guineas costs, or a mrmth in default.

WOMEN RUN THE GAUNTLET ¡ A dispute at tho cotton mills of Messrs. J. and T. Smith has tit row n Stockport into almost as great a ferment as Ashton-under- its neighbour, experienced during the strike of mill girls a few months ago. Over 40 male doublers having struck for an advance of a farthing per hour in their wages, tiie firm secured a number of wooicn from the Gorton district of Manchester to take their places. The appearance of these women issuing from the mill on Thursday night was the signal for some extraordinary scenes. An immense crowd of operatives rapidly a.-sembled, and the women had virtually to run the gauntlet of a mob until police assistance was secured. Missiles were thrown at, them on all hands, and some have COll- plained of being struck savagely in the face and about the head. Yesterday, however, though there was some hoc;ting, there was no attempt to repeat the personal violence. The men who have struck work disclaim any responsibility for the outbreak cf public indignation, and blame the firm for allowing the women to leave just as the operatives from the mills around were finishing work.

Swell: Deah, dc-ah! What, may I ask, are their peculiarities? Boots: Well, sir, they never leaves the hotel without paying their bill, and they alius remember the boots.

I TELEGR-AM TRAGEDYj —— • "Theodora 0- is Asleep." j IN DEATH NOT DIVIDED. A pathetic tragedy lie, behind the strange telegram, "Theodora is asleep; must not be disturbed," which, as already reported, it [transpired at ail inquest held upon Miss Constance Theodora Uniacke, at Rayleigh, Essex, on Thursday, was found in the pocket of Mrs. M'G-owan, wife of the blind rector of Xevendon, concerning whose mysterious death an inquest is still open. Mrs. M'Gowan and Uniacke were the closest friends. They were nearly of an age, the rector's wife being 24 years old and her girl friend two years her junior. They alike, cychxl together, and visited each other's houses. Miss Uniacke frequently spending day, together at Nevendon Rectory when the Rev. W. M'Gowan was away. "Theodora is Sleeping." Miss Uniacke was rapidly dying of con- sumption, and her friends knew that her death wag only a matter of time. Last week the Rev. W. M'Gowan was spend- ing a short vacation at Folkestone, and his wife sent the servant away for a couple of days' holiday, announcing her intention of visiting friends at Rayleigh. These were evidently the Uniackes, because on Thursday the lady spent the day u: the bedside of her sick friend, Fhe returned home, apparently the same night, while the servant was still absent, and on Friday sent a telegram to Miss Uniacke (the terms of which will not be known until the resump- tion of the inquest on Mrs. M'Gowan), which drew the response from Mrs. Uniacke Theo- dora is sleeping," and the words must not be disturbed." There is no doubt that Mrs. M'Gowan rea.d into this message the sad tidings that her bosom friend was dead. Everything points to her having at once put it in her pocket, written farewel' letters to her husband and her mother, as well as a note to the servant, telling her to open the windows and ventilate the house, and then taking poison, because two empty glasses and bottles containing poison were found in the rectory. The strange telegram, Theodora is asleep —must not be disturbed," sent by Mrs. Uniacke to her daughter's friend was, she declared to the coroner, the only reply she could send, because she did not understand the meaning of the wire Mrs. McGowan had addressed to her daughter. The Depth of Tragedy does not end there. As already mentioned, Mr. M'Gowan was on vacation when his wife took her life. Mrs. Uniacke was not at Rayleigh when her daughter died. Alarmed at her- serious condition, she hurried up to London on Satur- day morning—before she heard of Mrs. M'Gowa,n's death—to enlist the aid of a specialist, although she had already taken the advice of several doctors. On her arrival in London Mrs. Uniacke, distracted "with anxiety, suffered a temporary 1 loss of memory, and was found by the police wandering the streets, unable to give any account of herself, on the Sunday when her daughter pasaed away. In fact, it was not until Tuesday, two days after Miss Uniacake died, that her mother was identified through the effortc of the police and sent safely i.lck to Rayleigh. Yesterday afternoon she and her son were grief-stricken mourners at the graveside in Rayleigh cemetery where Theodora Uniacake was laid to her rest, only a few miles from the village churchyard at Nevendon where Mrs. M'Gowan was buried on Wednesday.

I Disgusted with Life I FINANCIER COMMITS SUICIDE Baron Salomon de Guinzbourg, the Pari31 financier, who was connected by mferriage with the Rothschild family, Jhot himself with a revolver in his apartments in the Avenue de I'Alma, Paris. I Baron Salomon and his wife returned to Paris only three d.ays ago. He was then in the best of health and spirits. Five minutes I before his death he was laughing and talking in his dining-room, which he left to go into the st.udy. As soon as he entered the room he must bare unbuttoned his coat and sh rt and shot himself through the heart. He left a note for his nephew, which said f1imply I'm tired" arnd disgusted with life, and I am going to kill myself. Good-bye." Two or three years a,go Baron Salomon was a. partner in the St. Petersburg firm that bore his name. He supervised the Paris branch. The firm suspended payment in 1892, but its standing was so high that the Russian Minister offered to advance suffi- cient money to enable it to resume opera- tions agatn. The late Czar, who disliked the family, refused to allow payment to be made. Ia spite of this the firm managed to meet its engagements. It subsequently went into liquidation and ceased to exis:. Baron Salomon cloeed his house in the Avenue du Eois de Boulogne, a-id generally reduced his mode of living. j

MtN rALL 300 FEET 1 — i Two coal miners, Joseph L ancaster and James Ward, fell 3C0 fed to death yesterday at No. 1 Pit, St. Helens. Flimby, Cumberland. They were engaged in the cage with Joseph Taylor, fixing girders. Heing short of bolts, they were drawn up to the surface, got supplied, and were descending when the cago struck the top of the irder8, earsing it to stop suddenly. I.ancaster and Ward were thrown out and r fell to the Lott-om-30 fathoms. They were killed instantly, and the engine-driver, find- ing the rope slack, hauled up the cage, thus saving Taylor, who was falling, by bringing him to his feet—a remarkable escape.

CYCLIST'S MIRACULOUS ESCAPE A cyclist, named George Woodcock, had a marvellous escape from death at Burton Con- stable railway station, near Hull, yesterday. On the platform he vaulted to the seat of his bicycle, intending to ride out at the gate- way. But he lost control of the machine, and fell on the line with the bicycie on top of him. Much excitement prevailed among the people on the platform as they saw a train come dashing into the station, while Wood- cock struggled to free himself from the machine and get out of the way. But the engine was upon him before be could get clear of the raiL, and everybody thought he must inevitably be kill-d. Bicycle and man, however, were caught by the projection on the engine which is intended to remove obstacles from the rail, and were pushed forward until the train could be stopptd. Woodcock escaped with only a compound fracture of the ankle, and was taken to the IIull Infirmary.

BLIND TO DANGER IRASH MEN INSTANTLY KILLED1 While Harry Holhroofc was driving a train through Ep-om Station he saw two men by the side of the line—Captain John Eaiide.il, of the Indian Army, and William Williams, a young postman. At that. moment the engine was about 30 yards from them. and the postman was in the act of putting liis bag over his shoulder. The driver whistled, but at the same moment his engine must have struck them. At he inquest yesterday he said there was an up train standing at the platform, and this impeded his view of the down line until he got close to where the deceased were. He was running at from 25 to 30 miies an hour, but he pulled up within 250 yards. There were Marks of Blood on the engine, but witness saw no sign of the deceased. Thomas Bines, signalman at Epsom Town Station, said he saw both the deceased jump down on to the ballast at the same moment. The captain turned round and lifted his bag down off the platform. At that moment the train hurled them away. Captain Randall was home from India, on leave. He was married, and had been stay- ing recently at the Chalet, Epsom. On the morning of the fatality he was going to London to meet his wife. A newspaper boy said the deceased officer stopped to buy a paper before crossing the line, but still had plenty of time to go by the subway. The st.ationmaster said the warning of passengers was a matter of daily occurrence, and sometimes the railway servants were insulted for telling people to go by the sub- way. The Coroner said at was quite clear that the deceased met their death through dis- reg.arding the company's rules, and the jury returned a verdict of Death by misadven- ture," expressing the opinion that no blame was attributable to any of the railway offi- cials. They also suggested that the company should enforce the penalties for crossing the line other than by the subway.

RELIGIOUS PROCESSION Magistrate Refuses to Interfere With It Mr. W. B. Luke, sitting at the Willesden Police-court, showed little sympathy with the application of Mr. Kidgett, solicitor, and a prominerit Nonconformist, who, on behalf of Colonel Fitzpatrick, desired his wor-hip to stop a Roman Catholic procession announced to take place at Harlesden to-morrow. He contended that such a procession, with "idoli" and vestments, was contrary to certain Acts. Mr. Luke: What can I do.—Send a police officer to warn the priest that the act they are about to commit is illegal. We do not control the police, nor can we anticipate an illegal act.—It is an unlawful assembly. I should be sorry to say it was any more unlawful than a procession of Good Templars. I don't ti-ce that I can do anything for you.

FAINTING IN THE WATER I A queer bathing experience is told by Dr. "Hugh Lawrie in the "British Medical Jour- nil." After a bicycle ride, and before lun- cheon, he plunged into the ice-cold waters of a reservoir. Giddiness and headache super- vened, and when lie turned from' his hack to the breast-stroke for relief, he says:- "I became very drowsy, muscular effort was feeble and sluggish, just like th.e slow move- ment of one half asleep, and, worst of all. a pronounced indifference to everything seemed stealing over me." He attributes these symptoms to a numb- ing of the brain circula tion throul the cold water, assisted by a retarded action of the I heart through the exhaustion of tSe cycle ride, and suggests this "fainting" may be I often the cause of drowning.

"DUCKING" THE MAYOH AND I CONSTABLE A curious old custom was observed in Tiverton, when the mayor and members of the corporation, accompanied by boyo carry-' ing white wa.nds and a party of men carrying hatchets, perambulated the town leat to see whether there had been any encroachments. A stream of water was presented to the town i ) 1256 by Isabella Countess cf Devon, and it is in order that this much-prized inheritance may be preserved unimpaired that periodical perambulations take place. At various places en route Mr. W. E. Williams read a proclama- tion aa bailiff of the hundred, a.nd there was much horseplay, during which the mayor and the head-constable were thrown into the stream. When at last the source of the stream was reached lavish hospitality was dispensed by the mayor (Mr. H. Mudford), and old English sports were indulged in.

IRUGBY NEW KULES* ADDITIONS AND ALTERATIONS Special to "Evening Express." The Rugby football season is now fairly afloat, and if any doubt of this existed the rapid purchasing of Rugby rule-books is a sure sign there can be no mistaking. For folks buy dry matter when they are becom- ing interested in the contents. And rulea, too dry a subject for summer taste, have now become succulent dishes. Unfortunately for those who have already purchased, new purchases will be necessary, for tlVJrlC in their possession are incomplete. A great deal of what will he law this season has been neee.-sarily omitted, necessarily from the publisher's point of view, as in his greed for gain he found himself unable to await the decisions of the International Board siib-eommittee at Crewe. The result is the incomplete book, and I would advise my readers to cast aside their purchases and await the usual annual from the usual reli- able source. Early bird publishers have really caught a cold. Before discussing the additions and altera- tions by the International Board Committee, it must be noted that they, until adopted by the various unions, nominally apply to inter- national matches only. But adoption. by the four unions and incorporation into their rules now naturally follow as a matter of course. As far as the Welsh Union is concerned the rules and their changes are considered already in force. England adopt them within the month. Scotland tamd Ireland likewise. Club 'football will then be on international lines, and that is more than desirable. Except in cases of rule dispute, such as Scotland and England indulged in when fixtures were broken off, it will not be probable in future to find .the Rugby codes of the different unions varying in any degree in their rule read- ings. Thus the International Board, for the guidance of international matches, will naturally become to be looked upon as the rule board for the different nations. We hope, however, that in future the board will hurry up its rule-deciding meeting, and let the public have the results in decent digesting time, and not, as in this present season, all in a hurry, so much so, indeed. that they must needs ask each union to omit their circular letter, from want of time in the considering and for the above idea of uniformity throughout. But to the rules and to the explanations of some of the additions and alterations. J A Tackle In the old rules "a tackle is when the holder of the ball is held by CIne or more players on the other side." The new rule adds a definition of "held," the addition reaidiing: "Held is when, the player carrying t'he ball cannot pass it" This will help in a large degree to do away with the question of What is a tackle?" But I doubt whether it goes far enough There is nothing in the rule to prevent the wrestling to get out. of an opponent's clutch. I The absolute time of the "cannot" sometimes takes some getting at. I A Scrimmage Here we have a much-needed explana'tiion included as part of the rule, and the whojle can be given wiih advantage:— A scrimmage, which can only t-ake place 'in tie field of play, is formed by cne or more players from each side closing round the ball when i-t is on the ground, or by their closing up in readiness to allow the ball to be putc-n the,. ground between tfram. There is clearness about this that is quite f' A'11 i].a. rm.t:in.g. I A Goal The aboMtion of the field goal made altera- tions in the definition cf a goal necessary. Also frequent questions re the ball touching t'he ba.r or post in -going over led to, an explanation being included in t'he rule. All that there is to be regretted is ,thM it is still thought noce&sary to insist that the ball must. not touch any player in its progress over the bar. It would have been as well, too, to have omi (I led reference to a. gon-1 being un,a,ble to be obtained from a drop-out from the 25. It would be interesting to know when a goal of this kind waa scored in' Rugby football. The rule now is:- A goal is obtained by kicking the ball from the field of play by any place kick except a Iiick-off, or by any drop-kick except a drop-out, without touching the ground or any payer of either side, over the oppo- nents' cross-bar, whether it touch such cross-bar or either goal-post or not. I The foregoing include all the changes made necessary by changes in term definition* Duties of Referee Under the heading of Duties of referee I and touch-judges," W3 find important changes. In addition to the present cases necessita- ting whistling, the referee must whistle now- (a) When a goal is kicked; (b) When the ball goes into touch in goal. The first new whistling will prove a great convenience to the spectators, for it often happens that the angle an onlooker stands at with regard to the goal-post is not one in which he can come to a decision as to the goal being obtained or not. We all know what trouble this has caused in the past, and we are all glad to see this new departure made general, and not confined to a few refe- rees who had used it unofficially. The second whistling, for ball going into touch-in-goal, will ateo bo useful. In this matter the touch- jrdge's flag will be a. help to the referee, but where touch-judges are not up the sound of the whistle or its silence will clear all doubt as to whether the touch-in-goal law has been infringed or not in try-getting. louch dudges I The old rule made it a condition that before touch-judges assisted the referee in kicks a.t goal, by each standing at a goal post, it was necessary to have been requested to do so by the referee. The requesting has now been deleted, and touch-judges arc to take part when goal-kicks are being taken without being requested to. The change is one for which there was no immediate call. There are instances where the referee is so placed, an in kicks immedi- ately in front of the posts, that he needs no help of this kind. But in other directions, in kicks distant from the posts, such help is nocessai?/. However, the help is in future to be uniformly given. Scoring j A try still equals three points, a goal from a. try five (in which case the try is not to count). A dropped goal that has been accomplished without the preliminary of mak. ing a mark or obtaining a penalty etill counts fcur points, but when from a mark it has dropped to three, the same number of points as are given from a penalty. The goal from a roiling ball, a kind of pot-shot from the ground, it, abolished, and also the goal from a flying Kick. from a pass back or pass on, &c,. What a lot of queries this abolishing of field goal and any other goal knocks on the head. Fair Catch I The most frequent questions of the fair catch rule used to be, Who can take the kick? Who can place the ball." The catcher wa, given the option of placing for another, or taking a kick himself without any plac- ing, but now this is abolished, by the common- sense alterations that now make it possible for any player on the ?ame side to take the kick or place the ball. Bang goes another I batch of annuals in the query column. Thank goodness. Free Kicks The alteration from making the catcher the placeror kicker in the l-i-st rule has made it neccsaary to substitute "kicker" for "catcher" in this rule; present Kule 10. That is all under this head. Penalties Under this heading we have a very impor- tant alteration. In future it will not be possible for a player to wilfully re-introduce a ball into the scrimmage after "it has once come out, either by using his hand or foot. The rule is A penalty kick shall be awarded if any ALL RIGHTS OF REPRODUCTION OF I THIS ARTICLE, OR ANY PORTION OF IT. RESERVED BY PROPRIETORS OF EVENTHa EXPRESS." player wilfully puts the ball unfairly into a scrimmage or, the ball having come out, wilfully returns it by his hand or foot into the scrimmage. It may be thought that the wilfully" still leaves a loophole, but the hole is really now po small that the squeeze of it had best not be tried. H- Ball in Touch I Bounding the ball into the field of play as one of the methods of bringing the ball back into play after it goes into touch is now abolished. The word "throwing" has been given a greater significance by this change, and it may require a separate definition so-on. I believe that round this rule, w":1h its omission of bounding, a crop of disputes will find free watering-place. At present, while the intention is known, the rule does not express that intention. Possibly all instruction on this rule will appear later. Knock on and Throw Forward This will be one of the reddened rules, but except that "scrimmaged" is used for "put down," and that a portion of the rule has been transferred to a more appropriate setting, there is little change. The rule now is- In case of a throw-forward or knock-on the ball shall be brought back to the place where such infringement occurred and there be scrimmaged, unless a fair catch has been allowed or the opposite side gain an advan- tage. Stoppage of Play Here we have included as a rule which will be adopted by the four unions that which was but a recommendation of the International Board last season. The rule is- In cases of an injury to a player or in any other case the referee shall not per- mit play to stop for more than three minutes. This was much needed. It is fa.r better that men when injured should be given rest at the aide. It seems a pity, though, that special mention of such articles as bootlaces, &c., was not made the subject of a part of this new rule. There is anced for this. Taken all in all, the alterations and addi- tions can be accepted as satisfying as fa.r as they go, and as an earnest of the TeIDova.1 in the future of other little irritabilities that worry the true working of the Rules of the Rugby Game,

I Royalty and the Turf. IS PRINCE OF WALES BUYING A STUDP I The Prince of Wales's debut on the Turf has now been waited with keen interest for some years, and, although rumours that a stud is being got together for him have always been contradioted, it is now stated that hds Royal Highness will soon follow in the focttsteps of his RcyAl father. In the opinion of many leading supporters of the Turf, more than one purchase was made on his behalf at Don carter, so that the Prince as an owner of racehorses will before another season is well advanced have greatly added to his popularity. The opinion is firmly expressed that Lord Marcus Beresford was acting on t'he Prince's behalf when he purchased Cynosure, a colt by Cyllene—Nenemcosha, a.nd own brother to Cyanean, for 3,800 guineas, after some very keen bidding. The noble lord was also attempting to purebase the French. filly Nimay, who ran 00 prominently in the St. Leger on Wednes- day. The position of racing will be grealtlv strengthened by tfce advent of the Prince as an owner, and the nation will welcome another spontiag ruler in the years to come. King Edward s Kecord I Whether he will ever own a horce of the calibre of Persimmon or Diamond Jubilee, and head the lis-t of winuirng o,wnem-a fea-t accomplished by King Edward in 1900--is open to question. Persimmon won £ 34,706 for his Mejeety, and Diamond Jubilee- S31,885, while the former horse gave to the Turf the flneat m,a,re that ever raced—Sceptre. In addition, his Majesty is the only owner that has ever won the Derby and the Grand National. To boaht this record tbe Prince of Wales will have to own some fine animals. But whether successful or not, the faob th-a-t he is a sportsman and a. racehorse owner will endear him to the heart of the British public.

MR. PLOWDEN AND PORTERS I Two men named Albert Smith and Thomas Saunders were at Marylebone sentenced to six months' hard labour each for stealing a portmanteau and a trunk. These were the property of Mr. Lancelot Lawford, of Wandsworth-common. Arriving at Victoria, he gave the luggage to Saunders, who stepped forward. He mistook him for a railway servant. Mr. Plowden: I am surprised at that. I don't wish to say anything unkind to the prisoner, but, really, anyone less like a rail- way servant I can't imagine. One expects to see a station porter in a certain uniform, and a more or less distinguished person. (Laughter.) The prisoners had been seen at Victoria Station, and Mr. Plowden inquired how it was that men of that type were allowed to be acting as the company's servants. Mr. St. Lawrence (for the company) said that such men somehow managed to creep in unobserved Mr. Plowden: Well, I don't wish to say anything disparaging, but I can't imagine it at any other station in London.
