SEVEN HOURS A DAY I It is announced at New York that the principal Labour Unions in the United States have decided to combine for the pur- pose of prosecuting a national movement for the establishment of a seven hours' day for all workers.—Central News.

CREMATION ON THE INCREASE During 190S there was a decided increase in the number of cremations throughout the country, says the "British Medical Journal." In this increase the London crematories— Woking, Golder's Green, and Ilford—figure most prominently, the total number being 80, or 20 per cent. more than in the previous year. The exact figures are:—For Woking) 119, as against 108 in 1907; for Golder's Green 364, as against 290; and for Ilford 19, as against 18. In the provinces the increase is only four, or 1.4 per cent. The increase in the frequency of cremation in London is attributable partly to the diffusion of the knowledge of its advantages by the press, and partly to the active propaganda carried on by the Cremation Society of England.

GREETINGS "How do you do?" is the English and American form of greeting. How do you carry yourself?" That's French. How do You stand?" That's Italian. How do you find yourself?" That's German. "How do You fare" That's Dutch. "How can you?" That's Swedish. How do you perspire?" That's Egyptian. How is your stomach? Have you eaten your rioe?" That's Chinese. How do you have yourself?" That's Polish. "How do you live on?" That's Russian. "May your shadow never bo fess." That's Persian. And all mean much the same thing.—" Liverpool Post."

A GREAT RUGBY FULL-BACK Whatever tfle present Australian team have or have not given us, they have shown Us a great full-back. Carinichael has no equaJ in the art of getting length in touch when standing close to the touch-line. His only weakneta is that he cannot kick left- footed. A fine tackier, he has speed, a very eafe pair of hands, and a very unsightly- looking cap-which he wore in every matoh until the return Jjcndon game at Black- heath.—"The Strand Magazine."

LOVE OR LOGIC A man thinks because he works hard to support his wife that this very practical fact is sufficient proof of his devotion. But a woman prefers love to logic. Of course she appreciates his drudgery for her and the children, and is grateful for the comforts with which he supplies he<r. Woman's Life."

HUMANE NEWPORT CONSTABLE One of the humane qualities of a young consta-ble was displayed at Newport to-day. It was a case in which Thomas Roberts was charged with stealing 201b. of coal, valued 3d., the property of the Great Western Rail- way Company. Police-constable Davies, Risca, said he saw defendant hiding something, and on making a searoh found the ooal produced. He subsequently went to Roberts's house, and defendant said he was sorry for what he had done. The constable said he did not lock Roberts up because he was a married man. Roberts now pleaded not guilty, and the Bench dismissed the case.

DIED FROM APOPLEXY An inquest was held at Maesteg to-day touching the death of Richard Lewis, aged 68, of Brynrhug Farm, Maesteg. Margaret Martin, daughter of the deceased, said her father died on Thursday. He was found lying in a brook face downwards. Dr. Macau»la,nd attributed death to apoplexy, and a verdict was returned accordingly.

I Floods in Germany RIVERS RACE THROUGH TOWNS BERLIN, Friday. News from various parts of the country show that the floods are becoming more serious. A telegram from Nordhausen (province of Saxony) states that the sur- rounding country has been visited by very severe inundations. Numerous villages are cut off from all communication with the out- side world. Railway traffic is wholly inter- rupted, and many bridges have fallen in. Ten lives are reported to have been lost. The Lahn Valley between Giessen and Wetzlar has been transformed into a vast lake. Meanwhile the Rhine and other large streams are steadily rising. A special signal service has been organised along the Rhine where the river is expected to reach danger point in a day or two. At Nuremburg the River Rcgnitz rose 12ft. during the night, and, overflowing its banks, raced like a millstream through the streets. Thj newspapers have suspended publication, and enormous damage has been done to property. Reports from Frankfort-on-Main record the highest water level for 50 years in the Odemvaid-Essen. The reports declare that the situation there is growing serious. In the adjacent region the town of Herdecke is flooded, and a number of dams in the vicinity of Hagen have been broken down. At Dortmund the fire brigade was called out to res-cue a family from a house where the waters were already lapping the second storey windows. "eyeral railway bridges over the Rhine and its confluents on the right bank have been swept away, so that all trains travelling up stream from Cologne have to take the left bank. At Casool the snow which fell from last Saturday night until last Tuesday thawed suddenly. In barely a day the mountains were freed of their masses of snow, which poured down a colossal volume of water into the River Fulda. The country between Wahern and Grifte resembles an open sea. Blasting Icefloes At Wolfershausen icefloes have been driven together into a huge iceberg, which pioneers are now blasting away with dynamite. An official telegram from Munich reports that the confluents of the River Main seem to have broken the record for high-water mark. Measures of precaution have been taken in anticipation of a rise in the Main. A Nuremberg telegram says that messages received from Northern Bavaria almost unanimously report floods unprecedented for decades and centuries. A bridge over the Main at Zapfendorf, and the bridge over the Regnitz at Moehrcndorf have been swept away. Numerous lives have been lost. The Saale has overflowed its banks, and the water is higher than it has ever been before. The whole of the town of Kissingen is under water, and the three famous saline springs are flooded. The Prince Regent Leo- pold Bad, the Casino, and other buildings erected for the convenience of visitors have been inundated, and the electric works are only partially running. At Gera, near Leipzig, numbers of houses have fallen in, killing three persons, while at StockhaUJSoll seven miners who were engaged in rescuing two soldiers were drowned. At Bebra a railway employe and hie two children perished. The Danube has risen more than 10ft, at Regensburg since last night, and the stream presents an extraordina.ry spectacle, house- hold utensils, bathing boxes, and agricultu- ral machines being swept along by the raging waters. Great damage has been done, and postal traffic is completely interrupted.— Re u ter.

Welsh ^Miners' Wages APPLICATION FOR 5 PER CENT DECREASE The wages committee of the Monmouth- shire and South Wales Miners' Federation met at Cardiff to-day to consider the owner*' application for a 5 per cent. decrease. The committee, consisting of Messrs. W. Brace, M.P., A. Onions (treasurer), D. Watts Morgan, and T. Richards, M.P. (secretary), went carefully into the matter, and will report their views to the Federation execu- tive on Wednesday next.

PONTYPOOL BENCH'S OPINION John Coates and Henry Watts, railway engine stokers, of Griffithstown, were sum- moned at Pontypool to-day for being drunk and riotous at Griffithstown oh January 30. Mr. W. J. Everett, Pontypool, defended, and pleaded not guilty. Police-sergeant Watkins stated that defen- dants were drunk, singing, and shouting, and using bad languge. He told them to go home quietly, but they refused, and he had to lock them up. Mr. Everett commented strongly on the action of the police in arresting the men at 11.45 p.m. on Saturday night and refusing to admit them to bail all day on Sunday, keeping them in custody until Mon- day morning, when they were brought up at that, court. An argument between Mr. Everett and Superintendent James took place as to the making of application for bail, which was interrupted by the chairman, who said, "It is my opinion, and I think it will be the opinion of my colleagues, that bail ought .0 have been allowed. The men should not have been locked up from Saturday night until Monday morning." Several wit- nesses and the defendants themselves denied that they were drunk, and the bench dis- missed the cases. The chairman said that in cases such as that bail should be accepted if it could be secured.

iOFFICER MAULED BY A LION Lieutenant G. H. Anderson, of the 18th Hussars, of Dawlish, Devon, arrived at Plymouth on Friday after having been severely mauled by a lion between Somali- land and Abyssinia. The invalid, wto is now suffering from blood-poisoning, following his wounds, had to undergo an operation on the liner to save his right leg, which was bitten through at the knee. His life was saved by the devotion of a native attendant, who beat off the lion.

WONDERS OF A BIRD SHOW The London and Provincial Ornithological Society show opened at the Crystal Palace yesterday. The show may be said to have announced the triumph of the food dye. Among the 1,600 odd canaries the pick were tho deep orange-red, broad-chested Norwich birds, which attain this brilliant colour by means of a generous diet of capsicum. Again, among the English wild birds were some astonishing cotlour freaks, including a coal-black bullfinch. But most of these blackamoors or "examples of melanism" take their hue from a diet of hemp seed. How- ever, the completest won dens of the show natural freaks, for no food will make a bird white and no breeder has yet made an albino. The most admired and much the  rarost albino—pure white in feather and ? pink in the eye—was a canary, but he was matched by a pure white sparrow and several white blackbirds, conspicuous with unusually deep orange beaks.

THE PENTRE CAIASTROPHE A meeting of the relief committee hastily organised to render assistance to the suffoi-ers by the pit slide mithap at Pentro was hold, last evening, Alderman E. H. Davies presiding. It was decided to make a door- to-door collection in the district. Councillor Walter Williams consented to stct as secre- tary, and Xi-. Lewis Lewis undertook the duties of treasurer. We understand that Messrs. Cory Bros, sent a special representative to the scene of the disaster with a viev to relieving any distress which was deemed necessary.

COMPANY PROMOTER SUMMONED In the City of London Court on Friday in the case of Edward Lloyd (Limited) v. Lavey, the plaintiffs, of Salisbury-square, London, summoned Mr. S. H. Lavey, 5, Copthall-build- ings, London, for the non-payment of £3 17s. 6d. Plaintiffs said that the defendant was a company promoter, and was about to build large warehouses at the Bute Docks at a cost of £ 100,000. Judge Lumley Smith ordered payment of the debt in a month, with committal in default..

PRAISE OF AN ASSASSIN At Bow-street, London, on Friday William Andrade, leader of the unemployed in the Poplar and Tower Hill districts, was bound over in two sureties of JE25 each to be of good behaviour or go to prison for six months in respect of speeches in which he said the man who killed the policeman at Tottenham was a hero, and the sooner they had a revolution the better.

I The Stirling Suit LORD ADVOCATE RETURNS HIS BRIEF Mr. Shaw, K.C., M.P., Lord Advocate of Scotland, leading counsel for Mrs. Stirling in the sensational Scottish divorce suit, has returned his brief, and his place will be taken by Mr. Ure, the Solicitor-General. Our London correspondent wires that Mr. Shaw's action is probably a preliminary to his appointment as judge in the place of the late Jjord Robertson. Case Mentioned in Court I In the Court of Session, Edinburgh, to-day, Mr. M'Millan, junior counsel for Mr. Stirling, appeared before Lord Guthrie a.nd asked his lordship to determine finally the date on which he would hear counsel on the evidence. So far as his senior counsel. Mr. Clyde, and him&elf were concerned, they wished to adhere to the arrangement that the speeches should be heard next Thursday, but he had been informed that the Lord Advocate, counsel for Mrs. Stirling, had returned his brief. Lord Guthrie said he had heard so. Mr. M'Millan said the other side proposed to engage a new senior, and they thought there might be a difficulty in fresh counsel preparing a oa&e for the time arranged. He (Mr. M'Millan), however, suggested there was no justification for postponement. Mr. Morrison stated that Mr. Ure, th., Solicitor-General, had been engaged in place of the Lord Advocate, and that he could not possibly go on if speeches were to be taken on Thursday. Lord Guthrie said if this -were so he would not go on, because, of course, this was a case of life and death. It was as important for the parties as a criminal case. After some further discussion it was decided that speeches should be taken on Friday and Saturday next week. His lord- ship agreed to sit late if necessary.

AN EXPLORER'S EXPERIENCES Renter's representative has had an inter- view with Dr. Sven Kedin, who has arrived in this country in order to fulfil lecturing engagements in London and the provinces, which will occupy him for a month. Wh?n ? met at Queenborough the explorer, speaking I of his experiences, said:—"This last journey; has proved by far the hardest expedition in which I have been engaged, but as a set off to that I think I can say it has been most fruitful in results. I consider from a geo- graphical point of view that it is the best work I have done. I left Stockholm three years and a half ago, and reached Tibet, via Constantinople, Asia Minor, Persia, and India. Of this period I spent no less than 25 months in Tibet. During part of the journey the solitude and desolation was appalling. For iusance, during my first year I travelled for no less than 84 days without sight of a human being apart from my com- panions, or the sign of a track, while in the second year, for a period of 64 days, I never got a glimpse of human life. Previous to my expedition the whole country north of Brahmaputra was a great white, unexplored patch. The source of the Indus, too, was until now absolutely unknown. In the great unchartered region I found the provinces of Bongba and Chpktcher, of which even the ii'ames were not known. I also found a large I DOPulation, having at least 5,CCO tents, in Bongba, which is crossed by many important roads. The watershed of the Indian rivers, which is now located for the first time, is one .of the most important on the face of the earth. In Tibet alon,e I travelled over 4,000 miles. Dealing with 1h3 situation in Tibet, the explorer said that the Young-husband Mission had an extraordinary effect on Tibetans, and the people are at a loss to understand why the British retired and afterwards gave up Ohuimhi. They never supposed that the British would leave after reaching Lhassa. The general feeling to-day is that the British feared the Tibetans. The explorer compared China's influence there now as being as stronrg as British influence in India. He added that he thought his presence in their country taught the Tibetans a lesson, and he was convinced that it would be impossible for a foreigner to cross Tibet now. Proceed- ing, he said, "When I was in Tibet last year I found special orders from the Chinese that every governor or chief would be held per- sonally responsible if any Europeans were allowed in the country. At Tingri, on the Nepal frontier,

POOR-LAW AT MERTHYR The ordinary meeting of the Merthyr Bijard of Guardians was held to-day, the ikev. J. Hath re n Davies, chairman, presiding. The thanks of the board were accorded to Mrs. Jones, of 3, Church street, Merthyr, for a gift of a number of pictures for the Aber- dare training school and cottage homes. Subject to the sanction of the Local Govern- ment Board, the board resolved to purchase two sites offered for the erection of scattered homes—one at Abercwmboi from the Powell- Duffryn Company, and the other at Cwm- bach from Lord Aberdare. Following upon the resignation of Dr. Evan Jones, it was decided to divide the Aberdare Upper dis- trict for medical relief and vaccination, into two seperate districts, and that the salary of each of the two medlcai officers to be appointed be £ 20 per annum, with the same vaccination fees as are at present paid with- in the union. On the motion of Mr. J. Prowle it was agreed to petition the Government to extend the provisions of the Old-age Pensions Act to all persons over 70 years of age. At the last meatinrg a son of the chairman of the board was appointed vaccination officer for the Merthyr District, and Mr. Greatorex now gave notice of his intention to bring forward a, proposition that in future no son or rela- tive of any member be eligible for any appointment under the board. An offer of Mr. John Jenkins, to let No. 14, New Castle, Merthyr, as a nurses's home, was referred ',0 the house management committee. The Kegistrar-General wrote saying that having given full consideration to the proposal of the guardians to divide the Merthyr Upper District for the registration of birth and death into two separate districts, he had not,1 only failed to find any adequate reason for the divi.. n, but was convinced that the pre- sent arrangement was best calculated to serve the public interests. It was arranged to hold an adjourned meeting of the board on Tuesday next to deal with the latter.

I AN UNHAPPY NATURE A glimpse of Proudhon's nature is given by a Paris contemporary. In 1835 he accepted a litenary position on the" Imparcial," the organ of the Liberal Union of Franche- CV-mte. The first day. when he had finished his article, he called for the office boy to take it to the printer, with instructions to rot-urn immediately with the proof. The boy suggested that the editor would have to read it, and at least an hour would elapse before the proof waG ready. Proudhon snatched away the "copy," and threw it into the fire. Tell the editorial- staff when they arive," said tho irascible writer, that I have gone for a walk." The next day he was working as a compositor in a printing establishment.

TEXTS OF FAMOUS PEOPLE Favourite texts of many persons in high positions in the world were oodleoted not long ago by a religious periodical. President Roosevelt's favourite text is: "Be ye doers of the Word: not hearers only." One of Sir Evelyn Wood's is, "Whatsoever thy hand findetli to do, do it with thy might." Sir Henry Irving's was, And the grea-test of these is charity." Mr. Rider Hagg-ard selected, And in patience possess ye your souls." Sir Edwin Arnold: "And He spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought rulways to pray, and not to faint." Mr. Alfred Austin chose "Let there be light." Several clergymen of various creeds and denominations, of course, figured in the list. Canon Oheyne's selection was, "'rhe truth shall make you free."

I K. OF K. & THE COUNTESS Viscount Morley's tribute to Lord Kit- chener reminds a contributor of a good story told of the great soldier's last visit to Cairo. He was introduced to an English countess whose vivacity and charms in general might have been expected to c.aptiva,te even him. Stroh, however, did not prove to be the case. K. of K., it is said, sat awkwardly on the edg-e of his chair, tugging at his moustache. "Do you like CairoF" he ventured at last. Whereupon the lady, in her endeavour to interest the great man, rattled on for the space of ten "minutes about her doings. When she had come to the end of her recital there was another dreary pause, and then K. of K., with a mighty effort, pulled himself together, and remarked solemtnly, "I'm glad of that.M. A. P."

CHIEF OFFICER OVERBOARD It has transpired that Mr. John Stirling Fraser, la-te chief officer of the steamship Roath, of Card iff, was missed recently when his ship was passing Nash Point. outward bound to Porto Ferraio.

The Hunger Marchers] WANT THE USE OF WORKHOUSE BATHS I At the meeting of Cardiff Guardians to-day (l. O. H. Jones presiding) a letter was read from Mr. Robert Williams, the hatlees leader cf the hunger marchers, applying, on behalf of the men at Freedom Camp, Leckwith Common, for the use of baths and disinfect- ingo apparatus at the workhouse. The CIerI. (Mr. A. J. Harris) said that. after consultation with the chairman of the work- houso visiting committee (Alderman F. J. Bea-var.), the men were told they would be allowed if they arrived in batches of not more than ten and before ten o'clock in the morning, but the guardians could take no responsibility for clothing Mr. W. B. Francis: How ma,ny have been disinfected and cleansed? The Master (Mr. Iiigle-dew): Twelve up till now The Chairman: I don't see why we should continue. Mr. Ames: Is there any reason why we should take it on? The Clerk: They applied to the health authority, and the health authority had no place except the sanatorium, and it is obvious these people could not be sent there. Mr. Ames: Evidently, they are property- owners now, sir. (Laughter.) Alderman J. Beavan: What is the value of their estate? (Laughter.) The chairman suggested that the hunger marchers should again apply. The Rev. J. Williams: Perhaps they will build baths on the estate. Mr. Alfred Good; Inasmuch as they have I had the use of the conveniences here, why should they be not allowed to continue? The Chairman: e can't disinfect all the world. (Laughter.) In the further discussion the chairman said the only course was to approve of what had been done, and then to refer the matter to the workhouse visiting committee, and the board concurred. Mr. Francis: These gentlemen claim to be riparian divers, and should have no difficulty about baths. (Laughter. )

FURTHER LEGAL PROCEEDINGS I In reference to the miners' Parliamentary levy Mr. T. Preece Prichard, solicitor, Cardiff, and agent to the South Glamorgan Conservative Association, was waited upon to-d,a,y by Mr. Thomas Jones, chairman of the JtcL.'ondda Conservative Association, and an a cJTSjequence, we are informed, it was determined to take every legitimate means to put a stop to any further imposition of the Parliamentary levy. Mr. Jones was officially acting for the Conservative miners' of the Ehoindda Valley. The latter are said to feel very acuttely indeed the spirit in which Mabon treated the subject in to-day's "Western Mail." As a matter of courtesy to the Federation the Conservative miners did not purpose taking any further action until the recent case had been appealed upon, but after the alleged threats of Mabon to exploit the funds for a purpose held to be illegal, they have decided to take action at the earliest possible moment. The pro- posed action will take the form of an interlocutory injunction such as was granted yesterday by Mr. Justice Joyce in the Chancery Division in the case of Furner v. the London Society of Compositors. If granted, this injunction will prevent the Federation from raising further funds by Parliamentary levies, and will render dor- mant the fund of £ 17,000 they now have in hand. Although the officials of the Federation have the limitless funds of the Federation to fall back upon," said Mr. Prichard to our reporter," the Conservative miners have made up their minds not to be frightened. The officials have threatened to raise the salaries of those members of Parliament who hold office in the Federation in order to compensate them for the loss of their Par- liamentary salary. This, however, is un- doubtedly illegal, and a stop will be put to it immediately any attempt is made in that direction.

A VIGOROUS PROTEST I Miners and Judge Roberts I A meeting of the Aberdare district of miners has been called for Monday week, February 15, at which several of the miners' leaders are announced to be present. A series of resolutions have been prepared to be moved at the meeting, protesting (as the bill an/nouncing the meeting phrases it) "against Judge Bryn Roberts for his attitude in the compensation cases of our members." Reasons for the protest are given in the bill (whioh is signed by Mr. C. B. Stanton), ,and a further resolution "calls upon the other districts to take simultaneous action with a view to bringing this matter before the Labour Committee of the House of Com- mons, a-nd sending a deputation represen-ting the workman of all grades to meet those who are responsible for Judge Bryn Roberts's appointment." The protest also includes objection "to the action of those medical men appointed by the colliery companies in regard to the examination of poor and affiioted members." "We have endured long enough" (con- cludes the manifesto) "and the time has come to retaliate and show that we have some rights, even though we are only workers."

CARDIFF AND BARRY BILL I In the Lord Mayor's parlour at the Cardiff City-hall on Friday a private meeting of the Cardiff Corporation Parliamentary Sub-com- mittee was held. The Lord Mayor (Alderman Lewis Morgan) and Mr. J. L. Wheatley (town- clerk) were present, and the meeting was at.tended by Mr. E. W. M. Corbett, on behalf of the Cardiff Railway Company, and Mr. A. Beasley, on behalf of the Taff Vale Railway Company. It is understood that an informal discussion took place on the subject of oppos- ing the Barry Company's Bill, and some con- sideration was given to the question whether it was advisable to take joint action, but no definite procedure was determined upon.

CHANCE FOR NEWPORT Inquiry has been made at Newport for 160 acres of flat land suitable for the erec- tion of a large engineering works and houses for about 3,000 workmen. The inquiry is understood to be on behalf of a firm of Mid- land engineers, who are seeking to set up works near the seaboard. Similar inquiries have been made in other places having direct access to the sea.

I CHILD AND CHOCOLATES At an inquest at Aberbargoed on Friday, before the district coroner (Mr. J. B. Wal- ford), respecting the death of Elizabeth O'Connor, four years of age, who died on Sunday, some chocolate caramels which the child had eaten, amongst other things, were the cause of a good deal of discussion.—Dr. John Robert Hawthorne M'Manus thought death was due to exhaustion from vomiting, due to indi.stion, which might have been caused by the various things the thild had eaten. The Coroner thought the chocolates seemed to be quite harmless if properly sucked, but one would be a hard lump in the stomach if inadvertently swallowed whole. "There does not," he remarked, "seem to be any tangible, substantial evidence or any justification for hanging those unfortunate chocolate makers." 'Laughter.) A verdict of death from misadventure was j returned.

ADMISSION OF THE PRESS At the weekly meeting of the Cardiff Board of Guardians to-day, a communica- tion was submitted from the Local Govern- ment Board calling at-teniion, to the Local Authorities (Admission of th.

Harris) reported that the board had already gone far beyond what was suggested inas.much as they admitted representatives of the press not only to the board meetings, but also to the committee meetings.

WALES V. SCOTLAND t i To-day's International, EDINBURGH INVADED BY WELSHMEN The 25tü. match between Scotland and Wales was played to-day at Inverleith, n grand spring weather. This is the only away game Wales have this season, and the result, therefore, had great importance, as upon it the destination of the international championship will largely depend. A win for the Welshmen would enable them to face Ireland with considerable confidence. Both teams had been very carefully chosen. Counting the New Zealand match of 1905 as a,n international, there were only two new caps in the Scottish fifteen, Angus, the centre three-quarter, and Tennant, the half-hack. The side was believed to be well-balanced fore and aft. Wales had made four changes from the English match, Brown, Hayward, and Blake- more (forwards), and Hopkins, the wing three-quarter, dropping out for E. Thomas, R. Thomas, Watts, and M. Baker, respec- tively. Vile and Bush had also been selected, but an injury to the first-named caused the Welsh committee to fall back upon the old firm of Owen and Jones. The record at present stands:— Scotland, 13 wins; Wales, 10; 1 drawn. There was a fine gathering, full 20,000 thou- sand people being present at the start, which included a goodly contingent of Welsh excur- sionists, who enlivened the waiting time with national songs. The rivals, who lined out as follows, met with the usual enthusiastic reception. THE TEAMS. At Inverleith. Scotland. Tea.ms WALES. Back: J. Bancroft, Swansea. Three-quarter Backs: W.

Martin misfielded the kick, but Schulze covered the mistake, and kicked a nice shot into touch. The ground was a trifle soft. The game was continued in the Scottish half. Off-side gave Wales a good chance, but Bancroft's kick was well returned by Gilray. A Scottish rush then took thep lay down to the other end. Bancroft made a weak kick, and on went Scott and his men again. Fortunately J.

Forward's" Story of the Game Welsh enthusiasm for Rugby football was adequately represented in the Scottish capital to-day by the invasion of some 3,030 enthusiasts from different parts of South Wales. During the greater part of the morning they practically took possession of Prince s-street, and the said citizens of the classic city were puzzled beyond measure by the demon strati veness of the Welshmen. There was no mistaking their nationality, for they made no attempt to conceal it. On the other hand nine of every ten sported the leek, either in his coat or his cap, and it is strange, but true, that more leeks were seen in Edinburgh to-day than have ever been seen in any time in Wales, even on St. David's Day. It was a glorioois day,, and the bright sun- shine seemed to have the stimulating effeot upon the emwrament of the Cymric invaders. They adopted their usual custom of making the journey down to Inverleith a couple of hours before the time for kicking off, and monopolised the whole of the banking imme- diately in front of the press box. The as.esmbla.ge has now become an institution, and one of the most interesting features of an international match between Scotland and Wales is the manner in which the Welsh contingent enjoy themselves. A Variety of Music Their sonorous singing of Ton-y-Botel" and Sospan Fach completely overwhelmed the music of the pipers, who paraded the ground in their kilts and bonnets after the fashion of Scottish football history, but in the long run they had the better of the argument, their staying powers being superior to that of the Welshmen. By way of variation the Dr. Guthrie's Industrial School Boys playe& some appropriate selec- tions on their brass instruments, so that between the pipes, brass, and vocalism there was no lack of variety in the preliminary proceedings. Outside the musical portion there were no incidents of interest until a typical Rhondda miner assumed the role of conductor, and used a huge leek as his baton. Half an hour from time people were pouring in through all the available entrances, and with the weather so beautifully fine there was every reason of anticipating an exceptionally large if not a record, crowd. There was not a single change reported on either side, and, with the exception of the Welsh half-back position, the two teams took the field as selected. The fine turf was in nerfect condition, and looked all the better for having been protected by straw for a considerable time past. One could not look down the playing arena or taking a survey of the surroundings with- out envying the Scottish Union on the pos- session of such a magnificent home for their national game, especially when one knew that the thousands of pounds spent upon building the stand and laying out of the ground generally have all been paid. Three-quarters Re-Arranged It was decided amongst the Welsh players in the morning that Trew would change his position from loft to right centre, with Mel- ville Baker on his wing, while J. P. Jones played left centre to Johnny Williams, There were about 15,003 people on the ground when the players entered the enclosure, the Scotsmen coming on to the accompaniment by the pipers of Scotland the Brave," while the Welsh were received with the Stirling strains of The Men of Harlech" by the brass band. With the re-a.rrangeanent of the three-quarter line Gilray played against Trew, Anigus against J. P- Jones, Martin against Johnny Williams, and Simson against Baker; wbil4a Tennent played inside half land Cunning- ham outside. I Favoured by such ideal conditions, there wa.s every reason of anticipating a fine exhibition of the Rugger code.

WHAT PERCY DID As many of Percy Bush'a "friends" (!) are giving vent to their kindly opinions on that player's sporting action in standing down for the Scotch, match to-day, it may interest them to know that when Percy heard the rumour on Wednesday afternoon that Dick Jones could not play he imme- diately telephoned to Mr. Walter Rees, and told him that if the committee cared to risk playing him in his injured condition he would get a doctor to bandage him up and turn out in the matoh. He ocqild, of ooanrse have said nothing about his injury and gone on the field just for the glory of it, knowing that he was likely to break down, but the Ca,rdiff captain rightly decided that it qvu-- not fair to team, Vile, or himself to take this course, and so he did the only possible way open to him as a sportsman, and stood down. Ebbw Vale v. Salford.-This matt%, whioh was abandoned a fortnight ago, owing to the frost, will be played at Ebbw Vale on Monday next. MATCH ABANDONED. I Bream v. Ab-N-carn.-The latter were unable to visit Bream to-day owing to lack of funds.

I Died in the Bath I HOTEL-KEEPER'S SUDDEN END Mr. Thomas Watson, proprietor of the Brampton Private Hotel, Llandrindod Wells, was found dead in a bath at his residence. He had only just returned from his usual winter holidays, and at about six o'clock in the evening he went to take a bath. His absence of an hour and a half roused the suspicions of the cook, who proceeded to his bedroom and also the bathroom, the door of which was not locked. Receiving no reply, she communicated with a neighbour, who went to the house and found Mr. Watson lying apparently dead on his side in the bath, which wa? about three-parts full of water. Medical aid was summoned, ?.?d life was found to be extinct. Mr. Watson was in particularly good spirits on Thursday after- noon, when he met his two nieces, who had just returned from their holidays. He was greatly respected, being prominently con- nected with various movements to popula- rise and develop Llandrindod. It is believed that the cause of death was a sudden seizure whilst in the bath. David Davies, Bryn Villa, Llandrindod Wells, was found dead in his bed on Friday morning. On the previous day he had been engaged in farm work. He was about sixty years of age, and leaves three little children and two grown-up children.

SWANSEA MAN'S ESTATE I The American Vice-Consul at Swansea has received a letter from Baltimore asking for news of the late Mr. James Brazel (known locally as Jemmy the Brace "), who left a considerable estate, and with whom certain Swansea people claimed relationship. There are already three claimants to the property.

Schools' Matches CARDIFF SCHOOLS' LEAGUE ZMVISION" A. SPLOTT-ROAD V. MARLBOROUGII-ROAD. At Splott Park. For the first quarter of an hour Marlborough-road held their own, but then Parker beat the LLicks and netted th first point, this being followed before the interval by another irom Fletcher. The second half was simply a procession of goals, no less than apeven being added by toplott. The scorers were Parker (3), B. King (2), Fletcher, Kingscote, S. King, and Powell. Final ecoreijplott-road, nine; Marlborough- road, nil. SILVIVKN-ROAD V. MOORLAND-ROAD. At bplolt Park. The Can tomans cam-e with a clean sheet as far as defeat was concerned, but ciuccumbed before Moorland-road, who played dashing- football. At the interval the Moors la.ds were a goal to the bad, isaorris having scored for the visitors. In the second half play favoured Moorland-road, but tney failed to score until Gould got through with a beautiful shot. Severn made streunous efforts to regain the lead, but weak play by their backs again gave the homesters a chance, and Sutt.on found the net. Final oore;-Moorland.road, two; Severn-road, one. GLADSTONE V. ALBANY-ROAD. At Roatli Park. The game was very inte- resting, and all the scoring was done in the initial half. Hewitt was frequently tested, and each time successfully manipulated. However, hit, vs-a-vis was beaten three tilnes by Yeomans, Allen, and Woodman. Kemp rendered a good account of himself, and proved a stumbling--block for Clem Allen. The ground was favourable for pret,ty play, and the display of the victors was a marked contrast to that of last Satur- day. Final scoreGladstone, three; Albany- road. nil. STACEY-KOAD V. LANSDOWNE-ROAD. At Roath Park. Play seemed to be of a lethargic nature, maybe, owing to the teams' positions on the league ladder. J. Roberts had the credit of scoring all the  rtuiiities of further goals, and possible opportunities of further points went a-begging. Final scoreStacey- i road, three; Lansdowne-road, nil. DIVISION B. Metal-street v. Eleanor-street.—At Roath Park. Play was very scrappy at the start, but it favoured Metal-street, who did most of the attacking, and in the initial half tney scored through James and Tinkling. On changing ends the visitors improved, but failed to make any impression on the Metal- street lads, who presented a good defence and kept their line intact.—Final score:- Metal-street, two: Eleanor-street, niL Allensbank v. Penarth National.—At Roath Park. Coffin was early conspicuous, and -.ad the credit of scoring first, which proved the only point up to the interval. Subseouently the home boys were often seen attacking-. Coffin got away on the left, and seeing but a remote chance of scoring himself, he centred beautifully. Phillips was near at hand, and from the latter's chest the ball glided into the e-oal-mouth. Final ecore: Aliens bank, two; Penarth National, nil. Albany-road Seconds Y. Stacey-road Seconds.—At Roath Park. Both sides were on an equality un to the interval. Ba ker h: v- ing put through for Stacey and Hawkins for Albany. During the second half Albany were awarded a penalty, and emerged vic- torious through Hawkin turning it to good account. Final score: -Albaiiy-road Seconds, two: Stacey-road, one. Granze National v. Radnor-road Seconds — At Grange. Had Buley only scored an addi- tional goal his total for two sucsi"e matches would have reached double figures. 8,]11, he mn?t rest content for having estab- lished a record in the previous match, and now gaining his &ide victory. The result was an eouitable one and the game fairly inte- resting. Final score :—Grange National, one; Radnor-road Seconds, nil. CRWTS-ROAD V. AIM MSDOWN. in is second division match took place at I Ricia;tih Park. Crwys-rcr.ad had the foe-st of roa.ttere, although Adamsdown put up a rr,hky figbt. Aftpr t fine bit of Ta^i'iig Lawrence scored the first try for Crwys. The saane "player, after a fine burst, • scored a SMne '?I.tyc'rw. 'hib.t Baitten dropped a splendid goal. Pa- ? Adamsdown the forwards -tried hard to score, but were poorly supported by 2 trieg C10 points): Adamsdown, nil. TREDFGARVILTJE V. ST. MONICA'S. Tredeigia.rville had by far the best of tnis second division leaigue game at Roath Park. St. Monica's played very poor football, with the Teeult that the Roa.th boys crossed their opponents' line on eight o-ceasigns. Most of the scores were obtained by strong individual, bursts. Tucker (2), Trosk (2). H.a.ll 42). and White <2) were the scorers. Final: Tredega.r- ville, 2 goals, 6 tries (28 pointe); St. Monica's, nil. COURTS V. ST. PETER'S. A large crowd witnessed this match at the Sophia Gardens. Mr. D. L. Evans (Car- diff Football Club) officiated as referee. St. Peter's turned up short, and enlisted the services of Edwards, the tity full-back. In the fist half play was even, but, changing over. Court-road were hot on the attack throughout. Hayes, after an unsuccessful drop for goal, G. Holben kicked wildly into t?he owpeitnh a.nd Mil?s fielding finely darted over with a try on the right wing The kick at g-oal failed. Harben played a great game for the Courts in the centre, his field- ing, pM-sing, and dash being po excellent that it is surprising that he has not yet obtained his city cap—he is really fit for the Welsh team. Donovan was easily the best boy on St. Peter's side, his dc-fen-ce being particularly fine. Fr many seasons ra.t the Courts have won their matühes against St. Peter's by the same ecore as to- day. Result:— Final score: G. T. Pts. Court-road 0 1 3 St. Peter's. 0 0 0 A PRESENT FOR SCHOOL PLAYERS.

CRICKET The Australian Test" Sydney, Saturday.—The weather was still unsettled to-day when the Best of Australia continued their innings in the trial match with the- Australian eleven. Hazlitt and Simpson, the overnig-ht not-out men, faced the bowling of O'Connor and Cotter, and brought the total to 203, when Simpson was caught in the outfield by Ransford off O'Connor for 13. lIe gave one chance to Trumper in the slips off Cotter. Barnes now ioin.ed Hazlitt, and at 220 Armstrong went on to bowl instead of Cotter, who had 45 runs knocked off him for no wicket. The change had no effect. and runs came steadily until at 268 Hazlitt, who had made 62, was caught by Cotter, Etanding at mid-off, off O'Connor's bowling. Haziitt's contribution was a valuable one, and included seven 4's. Kelleway was the next man iu, and when three runs had been added Cotter re-plaoed Armstrong and met with immediate success, bowling Barnes, who had reached his 34 after being badly missed at 14 by Armstrong at mid-off off O'Connor; before another run was scored. At this point an adjournment was made for lunch, Kelleway being 1 (not out out). The attendance, which was moderate at first, improved as th"* morning advanced. On resumption of play Gorry went to the wickets with Kelleway, and Cotter a.nd O'Connor continued to bowl. At 295 Cotter bow'ad Gorry for 15, ,and Saunders, the last man in. did not stay long, being bowled by O'Connor when he had made 8. the innings closing for 311. The Rest were at the wickets four hours and forty minutes in all. The fielding of the All Australia team was patchy. The All Australia team then went in, and | when stumps were drawn for the day had lost eight wickets for 177 runs. O'Connor, who took six wickets, maintained a. good length. There were some showers before lunch. Full score:— REST OF AUSTRALIA (First innings).

A MONTH'S TRADING Tra-de and navigation accounts for January show that the totai value of im.ports into the United King-dom for the month wa-s £ 53,511,359, which is £ 2,852,033. less tiian for the corresponding period of last year. The total value of British produce and mamnfac- tures exported was £ 23,803,046, or £ 5,604,721 less than for Januai-y, 1903. As rega-rds im- ports, cotton still eominwiB to sliow- a decrease as compared with last year, there being a fall of nearly a million a.nd a quarter from last January's total, while in the niatt-er of British exports cotton here also bulks largely among items of decrease, the value of cotton manufactures exported last, month being: over £ 2,500,000 It6 than that exported during January, 1908.

CHEPSTOW RIFLE CLUB The usual weekly shoot for the rifle and silver spoon took pluco at the range on Thursday evening, the COll- i diiions being twenty consecutive, shots. Results:— D. C. Fidler 100 100 200 R. Davies 99 100 1919 E. Coles 100 1O0 200 G- W. Sargen1 98 100 198 F. Jolmson 100 48 198 J. V. Scott 100 99 199 T. Williams. sa 99 1S7 C. 13,911 99 m ills J. Dowding. 100 97 197 The tie between D. C. Fidler and E. Coles resulted in the former winning with 200 to 199. It has boea suggested that the members of the inter- national team tiould be challenged for their places, the frhoot to take place on a neutral range. This has been foond to be aji excellent way of giving all good shots an eqiwl chance, also giving those members choeen the opportunity of dejfendiag the honour oon- tarred upon Vt-sci by the Association.
