The opening ceremony, which wae performed by Alderman Hill, was witnessed by a large number of the public, and the children were regaled with tea and cake at the expense of Alderman Hill. Speeches were delivered by Dr. Morris (Neath) and other reprerentatives of publio bodies, after which the school was thrown open to the public.

"It helped you, did it?" It helped me wonderfully." How many bottles did you find it neoes- sary to take?" "Oh, I didn't take any of it. My uncle "■ook one bottle, and I am his sole heir." A GENTLE. HINT. "You mustn't play with Mr. Rorum's hat, ,iobby," fatid a young lady who was enter- I xaining a caller to her small brother. Why mustn't I?" asked the youngster. "Because 1 yon might damage it," replied his sister: j "and, besides, he will w-ant it shortly." 1 THE POSITION REVERSED. "Are you going to settle anything on your daughter?" asked the young man with the rigarette and languid air. "Well, it rather looks, if she marries you, that she is go.ing to settle something on me," replied the parent. THE LAST WORD. Two young persons had been engaged, had quarrelled, but were "too proud .to make it ■:p." Furthermore, both were airiious to have 't believed they ha<l entirely forgotten eaoh ther. One day the young man called, osten- ibly on business with her father, on which ccaaion it chanced she Sihould ani-wer the oil. The youag man was game. "Pardon ie," he said, with the politest of bows, "Miss 'a,ton, I believe. Is your father in?" 'I m eorry to say he is not," the young oman responded, without the slightest sign f recognition. "Do you wish to see him personally?" "Yes," replied the young man, as he turned ) go down the steps. "I beg your portion," called out the young roman. as he reaehed the lowest step, "but trio ahall I say called?"

I For Women Folk. HOMELY HINTS AND DAINTY DISHES New earthenware dishes ghould always be btdiled before they are used. Place a large fish-kettle or a big pan on the fire; fill it with cold -water, and place the ware at the bottom, taking- care that the water completely covers it. Let the water co-me to the boil slowly, and then remove the pan from the fire, and leave the disihes to cool in the water before yon take them out. This would Tender them much les3 brittle. Potato Pudding. lil-b. mashed potatoes, mealy ones, 3oz. butter, 5oz. sugar, five eggs, few grains salt, grated lemon Tind. Mix .thoroughly and pour in a well-buttered dish or mould, and bake in a moderate oven for three-quarters of an hour. Turn out and .send to 1,able with fine sugar sifted over, or red currant jelly, or any other preserve. This pudding, when cold, eats like cake, and can be used as such. Good Pickle for Eggs. Twenty quarts of water, loz. saltpetre, lib. salt, six tableepoonfuls of quicklime. Boil the water, salt, and saltpetre ZO minutes and pour the mixture hot upon the quicklime. Pour the mixture into jars about half full; the next day begin to put in eggs, which must be quite fresh ones. Keep the jars covered in a cool place. This pickle has been tried by many people, and it never fails to preserve eggs for several months. New Turnips and Bacon. Fry some bacon cut in dices, then fry some small turnips in the same fat. Sprinkle in some flour, And moisten with some good brown stock. Put the saucepan at the side of the Are, and simmer very gently until the turnips are quite done. Scatter chopped parsley, and serve very hot. This makes a delicious dish. A Heartbreaking Malady Plight of a pretty little victim of St. Vitus' Dance. Every trace of the disorder dis- pelled by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.1 For nearly two years Mary, the little daughter of Mr. James Burn, who resides at 34, Glapton-road, Nottingham, was the unhappy victim of a most distressing attack of St. Vitus' Dance. The obstinacy of the child's affliction, indeed, was so well known that when Dr. Williams' Pink Pills effected her cure the event oaused general astonish. ment in the locality. In conversation with a reporter Mrs. Barns st ated:- For nearly two years my little daughter Mary was stricken helpless by one of the worst cases of St. Vitus' Danc ever known. She had beeB a sturdy child until seven years of age, but then a numbness began in her side, and this steadily extended to her hands and le$. Eventually she was quite unable to walk. Later, we noticed a twitch- ing of the muscles of her face and lips, and one day I discovered that she could speak only with the greatest difficulty. We sum- moned medical aid, but the poor child fell worse, and in a few days the power of speech left her. "The twitching of the limbs became so severe that, when dressing her, one had to hold Mary steady whilst another slipped her clothes on. Often she actually tore her clothes with the jerking movements of her limbs. "Two doctors attended her for acute St. Vitus' Dance, and she took much medicine, but her sufferings became heartbreaking to witness, and many a night we. sat up with Mary, fearing that she would not live until morning. For nearly two years she remained Paralysed; but one day a report of a remark- able cure of this malady by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills led us to try this medicine for Mary. After Mary had taken a few boxes of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, the twitchings steadily died down, and a. little later, as we continued the treatment, she could speak again. We kept on giving her regular doses of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and gradually all numbness disappeared; her nervous system grew stronger and soon = he could keep quite still. When the child at last was able to walk out, the astonishment of the neighbours was inexpre^ible: they called it a miracle. "Thanks alone to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, the St. Vitus' Dance was thoroughly con- quered, and my daughter could walk and run about. Her colour returned; she gained weight, and oeoame quite cheerful and well." The alarming increase on every side of II Nervous Disorders in various forms arises from the failure of weak, impure blood to nourish the system. The fact that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People actually create New, Good Blood accounts for the many cores by these pills of Anremia, Debility, Indigestion, Eczema, Rheumatism, St. Vitus' Dance, Paralysis, and the ills of the weaker sex. 2s. 9d. a box, or 13s.

J YESTERDAY'S COLF The ladies' championship at Birkdale passed through its most interesting stages on Thursday, whem the field was reduced to four players. Two most interesting matches were seen in the fifth round, Miss Thompson playing against Miss Mather, who ousted Miss Leitch from the competition. The York- shire player had generally the advantage, and won a good match on the last green. The tie between Miss Steed a.nd Miss Barry was very close, the latter lady having had twice previously to go to the nineteenth hole. In this, however, she was defeated. In the afternoon supreme interest centred round the match between Miss Florence Hezlet and Miss Thompson, the ex-champian. Although the latter stood 2 holes up at the turn she fell awav and was defeated decisively. Results:— I FTFTH ROTTNT). I Miss Thompson (Beverley) beat Miss Mather (Tyne«ide\ 2 holes.

It was decided to vote grants of I, JEIOO each to the Glamorgan and Monmouth- shire County Cricket Clubs, L50 to Carmar- then County, and ElO to the Cardiff Schools Union in lieu of a match which they con- I sented to rost-pone owing to the Welsh Union taking the Cardiff ground for the match I between Wales and the ivalla-bies.

When the extra time was being played the referee allowed the offend- ing player to return, and the Car(liff and j District Union appealed to the Welsn Union as to the propriety of such an action. It wa-s an exceptionally interesting point, and the Union ruled that the referee acted wrongly in the matter.

LABOUR EXCHANGES Mr. CHURCHILL (President of the Board of Trade) asked leave in the House of Com- mons on Thuisday to introduce a Bill to provide for the establishment of labour exchanges, and for other purposes incidental thereto. He said that, as he had already taken an opportunity to explain the principle and scope of the Bill, he would content him- self on the present occasion by saying that, it was a very simple measure. The Bill was already prepared, and would be presented --is soon as its presentation was authorised. He earnestly trusted that it might be fortunate and swift in its progress through the IJouse. Although it was a simple Bill, the adminis- trative work in connection with it would be very complicated and heavy, and great efforts would be required if the scheme of labour exchanges it proposed to set up was to come into active operation in the early months of next year. Mr. HAVELOCK WILSON (Lab., Middles- brough) opposed the introduotion of the Bill. The sailors and firemen of the country had had a Board of Trade labour exchange for about sixty years, and it had proved an abso- lute failure. The labour exchange was the one place where British seamen were never engaged. (Laug-hter.) It was proposed by the Bill to incur an expense of f,200,000 a year for the erection and maintenance of labour exchanges for workmen. If those labour exchanges did not do more for British work- men than the present one did for British seamen, that public money wo,uld be abso- lutely sqqandered. In the seamen's labour exchange in Poplar for one white man that was engaged there were three Chinamen, and every Chinaman was escorted by half a dozen policemen. (Ia-ughter.) Leave haTing been given, Mr. CHURCHILL introduced the Bill, and it was read a first time amid cheers. Establishment of Trade Boards. I The Grand Committee of the House of Oommona on Thursday oommenced the con- sideration of the Government's Trade Boards Bill, to set up boards fixing the minimum wages in certain sweated trades. The Labour members on the Committee opposed Mr. Churchill's amendments provid- ing an extension of the Bill's operation to trades other than those mentioned in the first clause by means of Provisional Order Bills, but the President of the Board of Trade's proposals were carried. Another amendment accepted provided that where any trade was carried on to a substan- tial extent in Ireland there should be a separate trade board established for it there. Mr. Churchill stated that it was intended that there should be a separate trade board for each industry and separate trade com- mittees in each district, so that the board should be controlled by people whose fortunes depended upon the trade. The Committee adjourned until next Tues- day. Attitude of Trades Unions. I The Parliamentary committee of the Trades Union Congress on Thursday considered Mr. Churchill's speech on labour exchanges made in the House of Commons, and they determined it would not be wise to oome to a definite decision on the matter until details were before them in the shape of a print of the Bill. It was consequently agreed to adjourn the discussion to a special meeting of the committee to be held in London next week.

I had treatment from many doctors, who failed to prod ace any noticeable improvement, and I quite despaired of getting my leg to heal up. I wne constantly in great pain too, and didn't know what ease and comfort were until I began to use Zam-Buk. By smearing thia splendid balm over the wounds, the burning pain was allayed, and the discharge stopped. Perseverance with Zam-Buk healed the uleers one by one, until now my leg is quite free from disease." Face a Mass of Sores.—Mr. W. Deacon, Coaat Guard Station, Reculvers, Herne Bay, Kent, writes Nearly two years ago I suffered from eczema on my face. On each "irle of my face were itching, burning patches of skin which broke into running sores. Shaving was an impossibility with my face such a mass of sores and pimples. Tho doctor did his best but could not cope with such a severe form ofeczenti. A short time back I read of ZarK-Bok's success im a similar case to nrine and this induced me to try the balm. The relief I got, even from the first applications, as- tonished me, but I was more surprised still when the sores began to fall away. I repeated the Zam-Buk dressings until aU the horrid sores were gone, and I was left with a clear and healthy skin again." Nasty Cuts and Bruises.—Mr. S. E. Carter, of 25, Shaftesbury Road, Longfleet, Poole, Dorset, writes :—" Through being pitched off my bicycle I received some very nasty bruises and cuts on my body. I managed to drag myself to the doctor, who dressed and bound up the injured places and gave me ointment for further use. I persevered with the doctor's oint- ment, but the wounds would not heal A friend then strongly recommended Zam-Buk. I wae so pleased with the trial application that I threw away the doctor's ointment and continued with Zam-Buk. The pais and stiffness soon went away and the wounds gradually healed up. Zam-Buk then grew new skin over the raw flesh." Hands Poisoned at the Wash Tub.- Mrs. M. A. Man ton, 50, North lioad, Bourt1- brook, Birmingham, writes I had beelt at the wash-tub all day, and after drying my hands I found them very irritable and hot- When I tried to bend them my fingerfl cracked, and soon all the skin began to peel. BJood ran freely from the cracks and sores. At the Queen's Hospital they told me my hands had been poisoned. I followed their treatment and used their ointment for many months, but my hands got worse. My daughter at last made me try Zam-Buk which was gently smeared all over the raw flesh. The pain was soothed and the great sores began to heal up. By carefully perse- vering with Zam-Bnk my hands healed splendidly and a new skin grew from wrist to finger tips."

But there's no excuse now. There are still lots of women who stick to the back-breaking way of washing. Their only reason for doyig it is "Mother always did it that way, and so it must be right." If you are one of these poor slaving women, will you try the Fels-Naptha way next washing day ? We have told your grocer to return your money as soon as you ask for it.
