To-day's Short Story. THE TUTOR. Say. fellows. ift's get rid of trim. We earn t stand that sort of a tea-cher," said. Jack Darwin. one day tetst April. He makes me oiok--&Iways preaching, preaching, pre-" "I^et's settl-e him Shouted three or four from the outside of the group. ".Aye, aye," came the answers, and Taffy Douglas, the fat boy, with his slow move- ments, had just opened his month for an "Aye!" when he caugrht siglht of the new tutor looking: a.t the boys with a frown on big face, and so he transferred the intended part of speech into another loud yawn wftiioh made the new tntor jump, whereupon all the boys giggled. Who ie to b-e Thorn?" the tutor asked of the tall boy who stood nearest him. Thorn coloured ap to the roots of his llair- he had a very fair complexion and blushed easily, which led to his being called" Rosie," by the others-and stammered: I torg-I don't—didn't hear, Mr. Why- land." "Perhaps you didn't hear the bell ring for you to go back to your clacs either. What is it, Blake?" demanded the young man, turn- ing to Teddy. "What, 31r. Whyland? aeked Teddy inno- cently. Who were you going to settle as I came in?" Oh, that's only a little way we have of speaking about those Latin translations, sir." The tutor looked as though he did not believe Teddy's explanation, but he eeid noth- ing more about it. Mr. Whyland was the new assistant at the academy. He had been there only a week, but in that time had managed with his extra rules and hard punishments to make all the boys his eaieanies; he did not seem to get along with them somehow. Perhaps boarding school boys are hard to get along with. Dr. Arnold, preeideat of the school, had engaged this young man to fill a vacancy on his Btatt of itiasttructors, not because he knew him person- aMy, but because he had taken high honoui-s at graduation, and, too, his mother was an old friend of the doctor s. He is. a very nice fellow with the men," the doctor had told his wife, "but he forgets he ever was a boy. I'll have a little talk with him. He punishes too often, and the boys ca,n't get his big-worded explanations through their heads." But Dr. Arnold postponed his little talk too long, for the boys settled their tutor first. Let's boycott him," suggested Teddy, who hadn't a very well-defined idea of what boy- cotting was. "Oh, shut up!" growled Xed Turner, a thick-set fellow, with less than his share of brains. "The only way to fix him is to fight. Take him when he isn't prepared, and two or three of us big fellows will lay him out." "That's cowardly," said Frank Snow. Nobody but Turner would think of doing such-" "Take that back!" shouted Ned, "or I'll show you who's a cow-" But Frank didn't because just then Harry Boot, the class beauty, shouted "Hurrah!" "The Beauty has struck it, fellows! We'll force old Why to resign, and I'm going to do the biggest part of it." "What?" "How?" "When?" were the questions then asked. Be quiet, and I'll tell you," said Harry. make life disagreeable for him, and make him give up teaching us. Don't any of you \wJ'd> study your lessons to-night, and to- morrow make all tho»noise you can in class, and at eveni-ug eession Taffy will do some- thing to astonish you." What?" cried Ted. "Wait and see," drawled Taffy. 11 only have your rubber erasers and lots of paper balls on hand to use." After supper that day. when the gong Bounded for all pupils to retire to their respective class-rooms, the-re was a half-sup- pressed excitement among the third form boys. For all Mr. Wyland's commande, no one thought of studying. At, last the tutor lost patience. I shall have to refer this matter to the doctor," he began. "Do," said Frank, whose deflk was on. th-e opposite side of the room from Taffy. Now was Taffy's chance. He cautiously irouarted his desk, his cheeks bulged out with Nalid, looking like" a full moon. The boys •ommenoed to cheer, and Mr. Whyland turned in time to see Taffy standing on tip- toe on the desk. with his mouth directly over gas burner. That WR3 all Tie saw, however, for just then Taffy's mouth opened, and a gust of wind from it swept down the gas burner. Immediately all was darkness, not only in that room, but in the whole .building. Then wha.t am uproar there was! Rubbers and books commenced to fly in the direction of the tutor. Then someone fired an iiik- Btand toward the blackboard. It did not neaeh its destination.. Just then the door opened, and Dr. a.nd Mrs. Arnold, with several of the teachers and older boys, appeared with lights and matches to stop the gas that was escaping from every flameless burner. Silence!" roared t;he old man, and every- one fell into the seat nearest to him. What does this mean, Mr. Whyland?" But -4r. Wh-yland didn't answer. He was lyang on the floor. The doctor hurried to him. but found "him insensible. There was a deep wound in his head, from which the hloQd flowed freely. You could have heard a pin drop any time during the next fifteen minutes, the silence was so deep aftpor Mr. Whvland had been. carried to his room. Finally, Mrs. Arnold returned. She looked worried, and the sight of her face made the culprits feel very nn- comfortable. Boy; she said, what does it all mean? Do you know what you have done? The doctor th.n? Mr. ?hy?.nd win not recer f b°W fven him ? that ink?and. I do not ???hothr?w it, but do yon r?Ji?e what has been done? Mother Arnold," aid Harry, breaking the silence, it's mv fault. I suggested putting the gag out. I'll take the blame." But I did it." Taffy, two great tears rol1,ling down his cheeks, "and I suggested erasers and spitballs*. I threw three rubber and a book," owned Jacfc, And I some beans." said another. "Will he die, Mother Arnold ?" It is a serious injury," said Mrs. Arnold we will hwe for the best. For the present punishment you will be closely con- fined to the house for a week, and the doctor will see you later." We don't mvnd that," paid Harry. choking over his words, "if cmly he doesn't die." After the consultation the doctors pro- nounced Mr. Whyland to be suffering from a severe attack of brain fever. Never were boys so frightened at what they had done or so repentant. Mr. Whyland's mother was telegraphed for, and late in the afternoon site arrived, accompanied by Bessie, one of her daughters. Of his five sisrters Bessie Vvas her brother's favonrite, and the boys didn't wonder, for a lovelier young lady they never had seen. As soon, as she arrived the whole school fell in love with her, and would do anything that she wished. The third form* boys DatumUy feist a trifle *hy after what they had done, but she made friends with one and all. Lessons were quite neglected in the week that followed, and the boys were quiet as Harry and Taffy made their confes- sion to the young tutor's mother, but where they expected to be blamed they were for- given. After tedious waiting Mr. Whyland began to recover. He would not let Dr. Arnold expel the boys; said he himself was at fault to make enemies and not fiends of the boys. The boys were untiring in their efforts to run errandis and do everything for him. One day, when her son was nearly well, Mrs. Whyland went to the third form clase- t room with Mrs. Arnold, and made a little speech to the boys. I want to tell you, boys," said she, "how Richard, my only -In, was brought up. His father was a naval officer, and was away part of every year before he died, and so left me to manage the boy. Richard neveT went to school, as you boys do. but I taught him at home with his five sisters. He associated only with women until he went to college, so you can easily see why he didn't know how to •manage or, teach boys. He says that when he recovers he is going to know you better, and is sure he will like you, and be able to make yon u nderstaavd. Iliv physician alW8 him to go out for the first time to-morrow, a,nll he wants to see you." Then the hoys understood. No wonder Poor Mr. Whyla,nd did not, know how to man- age them. He had been brought up with his sisters, whom, if they were all like Beseie, ntnst be very nice indeed. and he had been supporting them by teaching. The next day ww a holiday in honour of the young tutor's recovery. Toward noon he aptpeared on the steps lead- ing to the playground, supported by Ms mother and Bessie.

I Arguments for and against compulsory | Welsh in the Schools of Cardiff. ——— NOTE TO THE BURGESSES OF CARDIFF. Read the arguments on both sides before registering your vote on the postcard sent to every burgess. These cards must be reposted not later than Monday night, the 31st inst., so as to reach this office by the first post on Tuesday, January 1, 1907. FOR BY ALD. ROBERT HUGHES, J.P (President of the Cardiff Cymmro- dorion Society). The teaching of Welsh as a compulsory, that is, an ordinary, subject 6f instruction in the Cardiff schools. To the Citizens of Cardiff,- I have the honour to direct your attention to the fallowillg, among many, reasons for the present system of making Welsh a. compuisory, that is, an ordinary, subject of instruction in the Cardiff schools:— I—THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS. (a) What is meant by compulsory Welsh is the placing of Welsh In the same position in the time-tables as Eng- lish and the other ordinary school subjects. (1)) Every opt:onal subject is invariably either ineffi- ciently taught or abandoned. Tche priceless benefits of the mental training which result from the learning of a second language are universally admitted. In Wales only can the chil- dreii of the working classes obtain these benetits. Why should the parents of the children in the elementary schools of Cardiff throw away this great privilege and inheritance? (d) There is no conflict between French and Welsh, be»iause French cannot be efficiently taught in the elementary scnools of this country, but Welsh can be efficiently taught because it is the living lan- guage in the country. (e) The Welsh language has distinct commercial ,1ne in Wale,, for it is demanded of persons holding oaiciil and other positions in the Principality. F? example, it is necessary for county-court judges, stipendiary magistrates, aDd t other persons holaing tiovernment appointments. It is also necessary in banks, in schools and colleges, in the Churches, in commercial and industrial circles, &c., 4c. (f) Tne learning of Welsh in the elementary schools will very materially help those who are being prepared to enter the secondary schools, and there I to acquire a knowledge of other modern languages. (g) The reports of lile Majesty's Inspectors en the preheat method of teaching Welsh a3 an ordinary or compulsory subject in the schools of Cardiff are highly satisfactory. (h) Welsh is not a difficult language to acquire. English-speaking children learn it to school with tne greattst ease. Many of the leading officials in Wale6 to-day are Engliehmen who have acquired Welsh, each as Dr. Gcodall, in Cardiff, and 31r. Dariington, M.A., his Majesty'e inspector of schools. II.-THE MUNICIPAL SECONDARY SCHOOL, (a) There is no intention to make Welsh compulsory for all the scholars in this school, but only for those who are being prepared to become teachers. (b; There is no conflict between French and Welsh. The time-table can be made to include both languages, In a large number of the secondary schools of the Principality Welsh and French are now being taught to the same pupils. \,c; French is not tiiught in elementary schools any- where, ajid a knowledge of French iE, therefore, not necessary for teaching appointments in such schooie. (d) WeWh is taught in practically all the schools of Males, and, tnerefore, a knowledge of Welsh is an important qualification for teaching appointments in Wales, and a knowledge of Welsh dew not pre- vent ajiyone from obtaining a teaching appoint- ment in England. (e) In practically all the pupil teachers' centres in Wales Welsh is now treated as an ordinary, or compuitory, subject. If it is not so treated in Cardiff, the pupils from Cardiff will be at a die- advantage in obtaining positions in .t ales. (0 All students in the pupil teachers' centre are being prepared, for admiseion into training colleges for the positions of elementary school teachers, and for such positions only. Finally, may I draw your attention to the fact tiiat, Cirdiff being the chief city of Wales, it is not oniy desirable, but essential to her future preeminence, that she shall be the chief educational centre of the Principality, the headquarters of all the national inetitutioae, and the nursery of ail national aspira- tions. AGAINST. BY COOT. P. J. VEALL, J.P. (Chairman of the British League of Cardifl). | The case against compulsory Welsh, j Tn stating the case against compulsory teaching of Welsh in Cardiff schools, I will contend it is unfair, tyrannical, and bound to handicap children, teachers, i Mid parents. Take elementary schools. It is unfair because lessons in more useful subjects must be cur- tailed to make time for Welsh, and whatever may be the value of that language as taught in school, ;t cannot be effective teaching unless Welsh is habitually spoken in the homes, which is not the case m Cardiff. It is tyrannical because a parent in a free country should have an inalien- able right to say what language other than English-the Empire language- his children* should be taught. It is bound to handicap the children, since such subjects as drawing, histcrv. or geography must be dropped, one entirely or all partially, if three hours weekly be devoted to Welsh, which cannot be learned effectively in so short a time. In secondary schools and pupil teachers' centres it is unfair because it is almost impossible to teach two modern languages in addition to English without detracting rvm the sc?ence 0 i art subjects. It may be de.irable to mak one modern language other than English compulsory here, but parents should decide whether it should be French or Welsh. H is tyrannical because it will force parents who have educated their children for the teaching profession either to drop the idea or to send them into England to complete their course, or, in order to Xeep up .French ajid other subjects, the children must overtax their braias by giving up spare time which should be devoted to recreation to make up for those school hours occupied by the Welsh teaching. It will handicap those teachers who wish to take honours act Loadon University or elsewhere, because their rivals in England whom they will meet in the examination-ball, not having had to learn Welsh, will have had more time for the study of those more useful and practical subjects which tell in sucQ. examinations. This was admitted in the replies from certain training colleges to the Mountain Asa Education Authority. Parents will be handicapped in many instances through their children bein taught many subjects by second or third r.te te-bef? it.?, a knowledge of h¿hj,111 r:vete6I;ref;l1ce& otowe:;rcla teachers without that knowledge. Wales itseif will he handicapped when its public appointments are closed to monoglot ^Englishmen, because, on that being recognised, England will reta- liate upon Welshmen, and the smaller country, with ø. surplus of native candidates for it own appoint- ments, will suffer most. It is said Cardiff may lose the loca- tion of certain Government buildings in the future should a separate Educa- tion Department for Wales be formed unless the citizens fall Into line on the compulsory Welsh question. I do not see how this can happen; but, if so, better lose them than purchase the official recognition of the city as capital of Wales, at so dear a price. In conclusion, since Montgomeryshire claim to have made satisfactory arrangements for teaching WeJsh effectively where required and have no wish to make it compulsory in ail echools, surely Cardiff can do the saune. Optional Weteh means Weleh taught under best pos- sible conditions by Welsh teachers to Welsh children, with the parents in sympathy. Compulsory Wefch means Welsh taught under worst ible. conditions by teachers, mostly unsympathetic, to English children, with parents hostile to the whole proceedings." Mr. David Davies, M.P., publicly condemns the oom- pultory teaching of Welch as a grave mistake, certain to react upon its advocates, and saye: "A nation can- not be compelled to learn a language any more than to believe in a certain form of religion." This is common-sense, and I hope all Cardiff citizens will vote in this plebis- cite according to their true convic- tions, and I appeal to those Welshmen who have not had, and do not intend to have, their own children taught Welsh not to vote for making It com- pulsory in the council schools, to which so many have no alternative but to send their children. Fairplay and no favour is all that is asked for.
For Women Folk !
For Women Folk HOMELY HINTS AND DAINTY DISHES To remove a tight finger ring thread a small needle with number fifty thread, and soap the needle. Pass the head of it care- fully under the ring towards the hand, pull- ing the thread through a few inches. Wind the long end of the thread tightly and evenly round the finger up als, fax as the middle joint, then take hold of the short end of the thread, and unwind slowly upward. The thread, paesing against the ring, will gradu- ally remove it. Inexpensive Pudding Into apiedish put a. little sago or tapioca. Cover with water, and put in the oven for five minutes. Peel and core four apples; place these on the eago or tapioca, and fill up crevices with a little jam and six lumaps of sugar. Cover with water and make for half an hour. This will become quite a jelly, and is a pudding that everybody will like. To Allay Cracking of Joints Cracking of joints is often present in per- SODS of a, gouty and rheumatic nature. A good safe home remedy is beat in the form of fomentations, or hot baths, vapour or Turkish. Rub a little sulphur ointment into the joints. Try some massage. Guard against colde, 4c. Should the cracking con- tinue constalt medical man; he will undoubtedly give some iodine of potassium, which would soon alleviate the dryness of the joints, which is the cause of cracking. Steamed Whiting Procure a small fresh whitjug, prepare it as though for frying, steam it for ten minutes, and them place in a hot dish. Cover the whiting with the yoke of a hard-boiled egg, pressed through a sieve, and pour round the following sauce:—Melt half an onnce of butter in a pan, and add to it half an ounce of flour; when mixed add a quarter of a, pint of milk, and stir until thoroughly smooth. Season with pepper and salt. The white of the egg may be chopped and added to the sauce.

Air Rifle Shooting
Air Rifle Shooting CARDIFF LEAGUE DIVISION 1. FORECASTS The Caledonian3 visit Grange-town to test their strength against, the London Style. NN-he.1 the teams PreviowlY met the Styles won handsomely by eighteen points, the Grange mea scoring 355 to the Caleys' 357. The "Caleys" are now a more improved lot, and can be Wely reckoned on as a sound 29 team. The Styles, OD. the other hand, have opened tM second half of the season in none too promising a rranner, getting only 339 against Ely and 337 against Adarzisdown on Friday. For to-night they will need their strongest team out, otherwise they will tose. Tbe Loyala (Newport) entertain the all-conquering Atlas team. The Newportians will, no doubt, have their strongest twelve out, but they will not win. Grange Conservatives and Adaitedown should see an interesting finish. Grange have a very strong team, but they are often handicapped through men being unable to get off. If they have their full strength out to-nigtt they will win; if not, Adamsdowa may stand a chance of bagging the points. Canton Liberals are scoring none too1 well just now. Their opponents to-night, Cadoxton, are right on the top of their form, ard can be relied on for over 540. The first matoh ended in favour of the Liberals. "Charley's" boys should reverse thiia to-night. Windsors are at home to the -A-Iberts. The A's are fond of putting oil tall scores against the- leading teams, and they will. no doubt, do so again to-night. The Windsors should win, but Knott will have to get his best men out. York go to the Central Liberals. They gave the Windsors a rare doing on Friday, and nearly won. The Liberals are a. nicely-balanced lot, and are capable of taking the points. The first match between the Terminus and Xapier ended in favour of the latter by 30 points, the Ter- minus only getting 309. The Terminus are showing splendid scores just now, and should win com- fortably to-night. Splott Conservatives, who are at home, will prove too big a mouthful for Ely to swallow. They should win by anything over a dozen. The Stags, on their own range, meet the Corpora- tion. Both teams are evenly matched, and there will not be much between them at the finish. The Stags, who have not won since October 26, may do so to- night. Lansdowne should register their second wir. against the Central Conservatives. RHONDDA LEAGUE I yo matches took place last week, owing to the holidays, league fixtures commencing again on Thurs- day. Handicaps were held at the Court, BoyaJ, Cambrian, Miskin, White Rock, and Pioneeij clubs, and very good scores were put up by the winners. For the match against a Cardiff team on January 8 Mr. Fall writes me stating he has not yet made his final selection. He will do 60 by Thursday, and the selected team will appear, together with the league forecasts, in Thursday's Evening Express." BULL'S EYE."

Mother-in-Law BlamedI I
Mother-in-Law Blamed I ACTOR AND HIS WIFE Robert Frank Williams, of Stockport, was pummoned at Stratford on Saturday for deeorting his wife Ellen. Defendant is des- cribed as an actor. The parties, it was stated, were married in October, 1899, and besides the one child of the marriage the complainant, took care of her hnsband's child by his first marriage. Fifteen months ago the defendant, in the course of his jirof^'asto;], went away, but during his absence he sent his wife, who is an actress, various sums of money. In August last she received a, letter in which it was stated that her husband was living with another woman. The complainant asked him to give the girl up and be reconciled to her, a;nd the defen- dant agreed to do so and promised to resign his engrag-ement and take another one at "Weston-super-Mare, where his wife was to join him. He, however, failed to do EO, and his wife jjnderstood that he followed the girl to Leamington. Since October he had not sent her any money. In a letter addressed to the clerk, dated December 24, the defendant stated that he had been out of regular employment, but he had obtained a Christmas engagement at a salary of £ 2 a week. He intimated his will- ingness to allow his wife £ 1 a week, but he declared that his mother-in-law and his brother-in-law, with" bom she lived, had created trouble. This, however, the com- plainant denied, and said that it was arranged by her husband that she should live with her mother. The Bench granted a separation, and ordered the defendant to pay hie wife 15s. a, week.
CARDIFF SIDE A POWERFUL COMBINATION.
CARDIFF SIDE A POWERFUL COM- BINATION. Although it has not been officially announced, we are able to state authoritit- tively that the Cardiff Rugby Football Club Committee have selected the following fifteen players to play against the South Africans in the last match of the Springboks' British tour on the Cardiff Arms Park to-morrow:— Full-ba-ck: H. B. Winfield. Three-quarter backs: J. TJ. Williams, R. T. Gabe, E. Grwyn Nicholls. Cecil F. Biggs. Half-backs: R. J. David, P. F. Bush (captain). Extra-back. Reginald A. Gibbs. Forwards: G. Northmore (vice-captain). William Neill, John Brown. A. Brice, F. Smith, J. Casey, J. Powell. Probable referee: Mr. Gil Evans. iBy FORWARD. ] Let it be at once expressed as tne personal opinion of the writer that the Cardiff execu- tive have adopted a wise strategic course in selecting eight backs and seven forwards. The. Springboks have played five games in Wales, and have proved superior to the old formation on each occasion. It might well be that the method devised by Wales to com- bat the tactics of the New Zealanders will prevail against those other Colonials to- morrow. Of course, it is giving no i secret away to say that the Cardiff committee quite recognised before the selection that the issue would mainly depend upon the forwards. Therefore, they have acted heroicly in choosing only seven. But they are a grand seven. Big men, and strong men, and dashing men are they, and I, for one, shall be vastly surprised if they are outplayed by the African pack. The decision to choose the seven men whose names are given above was not arrived at without very long and serious consideration. In J. Pugsley, L. George, and E. Harding the committee had three other really fine forwards available, and there are many constant followers of the Cardiff team who will probably say that at 1 ast one of them ought to have been included in the eeven; but weight was the great thing which prevailed with the committee, and it could not be. As I have said, it was the intention of the Cardiff committee to pick a strong and powerful pack, and this they have succeeded in doing. For .downright hard scrimmaging I honestly think they will just a trifle more than hold their own with any eight the Colonials can place in the field. And we may expect to see some rare manoeuvring for the advantage of the "loose head." George North- more and John Brown are adepts at this kind of thing, and if any member of the African pack can outwit them they will be clever indeed. The Home Backs To-morrow the Cardiff backs will have to contend with men who are perhaps a trifle faster, especially the wing three-quarters, bat the advantage of superior finesse should rest with the Cardiffiane. Gwyn Nicholls' presence alone will make an enormous difference both in attack and defence, and he and Cecil Biggs will form a brilliant right wdng; but Biggs will have to keep a very watchful eye on Stegmann. R. A. Gibbs will have a special mission to perform. IS he can bottle up Dobbin, he will go more than half- way towards securing victory for his side. There are other things mapped out for him which it would be indiscreet to mention here. England and Other Nationalities. The following are the teams for the annual fixture, England v. Other Nationalities, which take place at Leeds to-morrow (New Year's Day) :— England: Full-back, H. Gifford (Lancashire and Barrow); three-quarters, S. Johnson (Lancashire and Leigh), R. Wilson (Lanca- shire and Broughton Rangers), J. Lomas (Cumberland and Salford), and J. Leytham (Lancashire and Wigan); halves, J. Jolley (Lancashire and Runcorn) and R. Ward (Yorkshire and Leeds); forwards, J. Bartle (Yorkshire and Halifax), J. Beetham (Lanca- shire and Broughton Rangers), A. Smith (Lancashire and Oldham), W. Jukes (York- shire and Hull), P. O'Neill (Lancashire and Leigh), and J. Stead (Yorkshire and Leeds). Other Nationalities: Full-back, G. Gunn (Wales and Bradford); three-quarters, J. Thomas (Wales and Dewsbury), T. Llewellyn (Wales and Leeds), J. Jenkins (Wales and Wigan), and J. Dechan (Scotland and Brad- I ford); halves, J. Thomas (Wales and Wigan) and S. James (Wales and Broughton Rangers); forwards, H. Francis (Wales and Bradford), G. Ruddick (Wales and Broughton Rangers), Pai Rees (Wales and Salford), G. Thomas (Wales and Warrington), Dan Davies (Wales and Swinton), and T. Watkins (Wales and Wigan). It will be observed that fourteen out -of the fifteen in the Other Nationalities team are Welshmen.

The Marriage Problem I I.&.-
The Marriage Problem I I & I GIRLS NEED TO BE TRAINED Why men don't want to get married'' forms the subject of an interesting article from the pen of a somewhat recent bride, Mi-s. Archibald Mackirdy, formerly Miss Olive Malvery, in the "Lady's Re-alm." The need for a practical facing of the situation is obvious, for, as Mrs. Maekirdy puts it, there are to-day in the United King- dom one million more women than men, and t,hat one fact alone constitutes a great handi- cap to love and marriage. The lot of the woman who does not marry in our country is not an enviable one (in Mrs. Mackirdy's opinion), for it often means that she is forced un-equipped into the battle of life, and "no woman would choose to work for her living if she had any chance of marriage." Therefore, we find ourselves con- fronted with the problem of women eager to marry, and men, on the other hand, showing an increasing disinclination to forego the I Comfort of Single Blessedness for that joy of keeping a wife and two small children. A man with a decent record and a fair income is always eligible and welcome: but, still, there is the instinct within most men of a desire at sonre time or other to find a life companion and settle down to demesticity. Modern life ha-s much to answer for as regards this particular social paradox. Women are unwilling to take up domestic burdens, to bring up children, and to be shut out of social life by means of poverty. A man with a moderate income, say, from P700 to £1,000 a year, may be willing to marry, but when he is fascinated with a pretty face and its owner thinks his income ample for her amusements and so forth, he forgets that she has never had! any responsibility about money or any business training whatever. Wherefore, after the first glamour of romance has worn off, the unhappy couple are fain to realise the misery of the Ixirgiin they have made. The wife does not realise I The Delight of Matrimony, simply and solely because she has never I been trained for her marital state. If her husband is a professional man, and muet cul- tivate professional people, she grumbles that they are dull, and either he gives up in- terest in his profession, or goes his way and leaves her to go hers, while the. business man who finds the mention of business boring: to his wife cannot get intelligent sympathy and appreciation- from the one who should be hie best compannion, adviser, and friend. The solution of the marriage problem would be best found in we training of a girl for marriage, just as a man is trained for his profession. If a. girl has no money of her own &he should be able to wisely manage her husband's. "Those who have tasted the sweetness and: independence of the simple life with true love to glorify it would instantly give their vote for a marriage of love. "But for those who cannot free themselves from the trammelsi of 'Society,' which re- quires much while giving little, there is but small chance of buying happiness in the modern marriage market," says Mrs. Maekirdy in conclusion.
ICOSTLY CONIES I
COSTLY CONIES Frank Chappie, of Llandaff North, and William Baugh, of Ra-ayr, were changed at Llandaff Police-court to-day, with trespass- ing on land in the occupation of William Baesett, in search of conies. eGorge Whitlock, a gamekeeper, in the employ of the Earl of Plymouth, said that on Sunday, November 25, he saw Chappie i and Baugh ferretting on Mr. Bassetts farm. Thy said they had no written permit. Mr. Bassett, who was in court, urged the witness to speak the truth. Inspector Nott: You must'nt interfere with the witness, Mr. Bassett. Chappie said that he had received written permission, but had not got it with him. Mr. Bassett: Why the didn't you bring it? The Clerk eaid any written permit must be produced to be of value. Mr. Bassett: But I sent them a letter. In reference to a remark by Chappie, the clerk (Mr. C. H. Evans) suggested that the letter was written after the commission of the alleged offence, but to this Chappie made no rejoinder. Baugh admitted that he had not written permission at the date in question. Defendants were fined Cl and costs, or four- teen days' imprisonment.
I -NO __MORE XMAS BOXESI
I NO MORE XMAS BOXES I The Cliriatmaa box nuisance was referred to by another of the Cardiff Corporation com- mittees this morning. Mr. Harpur, the city engineer, asked the health committee to pass a resolution pro- hibiting the scavengers from going from door to door soliciting gratuities. When tbe men went round the work was neglected. He had suggested that it should be stated in the resolution, that any man detected soliciting Christmas boxes after being warned would be dismissed. Mr. J. St-anfield: Oh, Do, don't say that. Mr. Harpur: You won't stop it otherwise. Mr. Chap pell agreed that it could not be stopped effectively without such a threat, and he instanced a, glaring ease of touting from door to door by men purporting to be scavengers who were not employed in the district at all. The Chairman having remaiked that, any resolution, passed should apply to every class of employe in the health department, it was' decided to prohibit the practice.
IA DOG'S JEALOUSY
I A DOG'S JEALOUSY A remarkable story, arguing almost human sensibility on the part of a dog, comes from Bagnolet. M, and Mme. Vrain, the parents of a little boy of three, named Roger, were obliged to procure a watch-dog. A friend presented them with a. powerful mastiff. The brute proved to possess a savage disposition. On Saturday, while little Roger was play- ing, the mother took him up in her arms and began kissing him.. Suddenly the sulky brute, in a fit of nn. controllable jealousy, bounded upon the boy and sunk his teeth in his throat. The mother's frantic cries brought a neigh- bour to the rescue, and, seizing a revolver, he shot the savage animal dead. The boy was taken to the hospital.
MONEY FOR OLD TIN KETTLES…
MONEY FOR OLD TIN KETTLES I Old tin kettles and pots have suddenly become marketable commodities, for a meaaf; has been discovered of extracting the tin originally used in tdnming them, and leaving the iron foundation as dross behind. Since tin has risen to its present price of nearly EZOD a ton, it pays to use up old metal, and a similar process is now being applied to braes and other alloys in which copper is contained. Copper is at £ 109 a ton, a;nd any scrap metal containing oopper will now find a. ready buyer at a good price. There is a scarcity of nearly all metals now, and one that seams likely to continue. Scrap steel has (risen 15s. a ton in the last three months, and is still risimg.

I The man in the street and the woman in the home should specially note fi the fact that Zam-Buk is regularly used to heal the injuries of the world's most B famous athletes, and is the chosen "first-aid" of such international organisations B as the famous "Spring boks' (South African R.F.C.), "All Blacks" (New Zea- land R,.F.C.), and Liverpool A.F.C. (last season's English League Champions). H r By courteous permission of the officials, a representative of the proprietors Rj of Zam-Buk was able to interview the genial trainer of the "Springboks," Mr. fl A. H. Moon, a few days ago. Mr. Moon spoke of Zam-Buk as having been of I great assistance to him in his important work of keeping the players fit and I well.

Holland, a saw sharpener, of the City Saw Mills, and living at 13, Corn- wall Cottages, Popham-street, Essex-road, London, N., »ajj's:—"I became subject to the most fearful pains in the pit of the gwmo&h, the loiins, amd back. They were so bad at times that I writhed in agony on the floor. I tried first one doctor and then another. They made me swallow quantities of medicine whioh never did me the slightest good. Two of the doctors wished to operate, saying I had a growth inside, but I xefaaed and gave tihe hospitals a chance. At one I wae told I wa.8 suffering from gastritis, at .another dyspepsia, and at another that I was as sOUlnd as a bell. But all the time I was losing flesh rapidly, dropping from 10 stone 41bs. to 8 stone 6 Ibe. in six months. I could eat or drink nothing without fear. "At last a neighbour persuaded me to try Bile Beans, and I obtained a box. I waa soon eating heartily again, and without feaT of the oaneequences. After taking a few more boxes of Bile Beans I was back at work again, to the astonishment of my fellow- workmen, who, to a man, had thought I had gone home to die. Now I am as fit as ever I was in my life. Indeed, I am the marvel of the neighbourhood." Always oarry,a -few Bile Beans in your vest pocket.

They took him into the Pwter 19 lodge, and. sent for a. murse, who looked at hian and. said: I can't say that is the maai, but he is very muth. like him." The Clerk: They evidently took hiul for a man who has been molesting the nillses. The Chief-constable: I have had cojnPLqlnto about men way-laying nurses at the hospital. Warrant Officer Baker said, he understood the workhouse E-UTses had complained of this man. The Clerk: It is evidently a. case of mis- taken identity. The Chief-constable: At the most the assault was only a technical one. Mr. Knowles: But my client haS been dragged about amd treated abominably- The Clerk: If you will put your client's oomplaint into writing to the gua.Tctiame- put it as a ease of mistaken identitjy—they will make full reparation. That would be better than police-court proceedings. The Chairman: That is the better oouirse. If you oainiKvt get redress oome here ,sPin.
