n I London Gossip. !
n I London Gossip. The London correspondent of the South Wales I Daily News, telegraphing last night, says :— I The New Code. The House of Lords had a useful and interesting debate this afternoon upon the New Education Code. Lord Cranbrook declared himself surprised at the tone the debate had taken, no one saying a good word for the code. But there is certainly no room for surprise on his part to find expression publicly given to discontent among the advocates of denominational education. Ever since the code wan laid upon the table the Lord President has been in teceipt of communications from influential Conservatives protesting that the effect of the code would be seriously to hamper voluntary schools. He has demurred to thess representations, and has been supported by Lord Cross, who, as being above suspicion of any step in the direction of Liberalism, has rendered valuable assistance to his colleagues in combatting objections. This debate in the Lords to-nigot was in fact merely a reconnaissance in force of the denominational party, and a good deal more will be heard about the code before it is approved by the Rouse of Commons. It is a curious thing that, at the outset, strong suspicions existed in Liberal circles that the now code was designed in the reactionary spirit evinced by the majority of tfie Royal Commission on Education. Mr Mundella and other friends of education had buckled ou their armour to resist any insidious advances towards reaction. Now it appears most probable that the Government's ohief difficulty will come from their own side. The Course of Events. I The actual attendance upon debate in the House of Commons at the morning sittiug was very scanty,but there was scattered about the pre- cincts of the House a very large attendance, chiefly of Ministerialists. As the afternoon wore OD, and there was not even the excitement of a division, complaints were heard against the whips because they had issued a peremptory command for ail good Conservatives to be in their places at half-past two, since divisions of great importance were certain. But this only shows how impossible it is to foretell even by a few houis the course of events in the House of Commons. As it turned out, not a single division was challenged, and anotlier considerable batch of votes was agreed to. Mr Biggar sat watchful whilst the remaining orders were run through, but he offered no objection when it was proposed to take the report of Supply. Only Sir George Campbell took an opportunity of delivering another speech on the question of death duties, which Mr Goschen answered with a shnke of the head, and the report fitage of the Budget resolutions was agreed to. It now only remains for the Budget Bill to be brought in-a stage of the elaborate proceedings which will be seized for the renewal of the criticism with which Mr Gladstone views the Chancellor of the Exchequer's arrangements. Between two Fires. Whilst tho committee of tho whole House was engaged downstairs in discussing ophthalmia in board schools and kindred topics, Mr Chaplin was busy in one of the committee- rooms upgtairs eu(JeivoLiring to form tt cave," in which might be buried the hope of Mr Goschen of carrying his Budget through. Here, as in the case of the education code, the Government stand between two fires. Mr Gladstone declares that the arrangement of the death duties is unduly favourable to realty. Mr Chaplin, on the other hand, protests that realty is too heavily burdened. He summoned this afternoon, by a private circular, a meeting of the Conservative members representing agricultural constituencies. The meeting was well attended, and Mr Goschen granted an interview to its spokesmen. But they made nothing out of him. He means to stand by the arrangement sketched iu his bujg-et speecil, and embodied in resolutions which have now been agreed to in the House of Commons. Disgusted and discontented Conserva- tives, foiled on this point, passed a resolution protesting against any design Mr Goschen may covertly che/ish for bringiug in a new horse tax for the benefit of the county council*. Another Canard. It is carious how reports about, Mr Gladstone get into circulation, and, not being contradicted, are accepted as gospel truth. There ill, I suppose, no couviction more deeply rooLed in the British mind just now than that when Whitsuntide comes Mr Gladstone is to set out on a yacht, circumnavigating the British Isles. Whitsuntide is a little early for yachting in these waters, but the announcement has appeared in print, and, not being contradicted, is regarded as it matter of fact. A Liberal peer who has a beautiful resi- dence on the Devon coast) where he in- tends to spend Whitsuntide, happening to meet Alr GILtdston,3 this afternoon, suggested to him that when this point of his journey was reached he should land and pay him a visit. "This yachting tour," Mr Glad- stone answered, "is a very remarkable thing. Everything is settled. I saw it mentioned that the yacht was to be all found. The time is fixed, and the passengers named the only thing lacking is the yacht, tor, to tell the truth, I have never heard a word about it, except what I have seen in the newftrapers. I The Submarine Telegraph. I The accounts for the purchase of the sub- marine telegraph with the continent have now been made up, and the bill has come in. The cables themaeives—two between England and Belgium, four between England and France— cost £ 28 3G0, an exceedingly good bargain, since the cables were probably not laid for less than £ 100,000. Of this money, France and Belgium find oiie-iialf. But., beyond the cables, our Post- office have on their own account become sole possessors of the cable ships and gas engines, offices, and other buildings erected by the late company for carrying on their exceedingly prosperous business. I Mr W. P. Sinclair. I Mr W. P. Sinclair, whose longsuffering and forbearance as a member of the National Liberal Club has been broken down by the conferring of life membership upon Mr Parnell, is the Dissentient Liberal member for Falkirk. He at one time represented Antrim, ami, though he then sat on the Liberal side of the House, was much more in sympathy with Mr Johnston, of Ballykilbeg, than with Mr Parnell. He is one of the Dissentient Liberal Scotch members who are doomed beyond all hope. Even in 1886 lie won the seat by a majority of only twenty. Dr Robson Roose. Dr Robson Roose, who has under his care most of the eminent men in political life, has just received from the other side of the Atlantic a marked proof of the esteem in which he is held in academical circle". Queen's University, Kingston, Canada, has conferred upon him the degree of "LL.D," Queen's is the highest claRs university in Canada, its examination and course being almost identical with those at Oxford or Cambridge. Incorporated by royal charter 48 years ago, it has within that period conferred the honorary degree of LL,D. (in only 15 persons, of whom two are Englishmen, or rather Scotch- men. One ia the Marquis of Lome and the other Professor Geikie. University Representation. I Mr Philip Stanhope and Mr Jacoby, the whips of the new Radical party, have been busy all day endeavouring to secure a House for the discussion of the question of university representation. They were so far successful that no attempt was made to count out, and Mr Robertson delivered an able and interesting speech before ;111 audience which gradually gathered till towards midnight the House assumed something of a crowded appearance. The debate was naturally and essentially academical but it was hsre and there relieved by little outbursts that rewarded the patient listener. The inevitable Irish question crept tip, notably ;o the speech of Sir John Lubbock, who resented what he reported as the declaration by Mr Robertson that one good reason for abolishing tiie university parlia- mentary representation was that nearly all the present members belonged to the so-called Unionist party. Mr Robertson rose to correct this version, pointing out that he bad noted the political tendencies of university members as a gratifying fact, inasmuch as it lessened the difficulty of abolishing these particular seats. Mr Robertson's point was very delicately put, but Dissentient Liberals quickly recognised in it a reference to the certainty of their destiny when the general election arrives, and howled accordingly. University Manners." Sir John Lubbock, amid loud cheers from the Ministerialists protested that the university members had not gone over to Unionism. They bad always been attached to it. It is you or your friends," he said, turning to Mr Robertson, who sat on his left* hand, who have deserted the union flag," When Sir George Trevelyan rose, interposing apologetically between Mr W, Redmond and the House, he was greeted with an outburst of unmannerly interruption from the geqtlemeu in evening dress sat on the Opposition benches. Sir George waited till the noise had subsided, and then quietly observed, These I suppose are university manners." On the whole the debate was very iutereitiDg, though ita result was a foregone conclusion.

The Archbishop of CANTERBURY called attention to the code of regulations with schedules, issued by the Committee of Council on Education in 1889. He bad taken this step at the request of school managers and others interested in educa- tion. There was much in the new code to be thankful for since it marked a distinct step in advance in educational progress. He especially rejoiced at the prominence given in the code to drawing and to the general freedom conferred up:m masters in the management of their schools. His action did not spring from any idea that the education depart- ment were adverse to voluntary schools, nor so much from any objection to the new regu- lation,as from a doubt as to the meaus which many schools possessed of carrying them out. The great desire of the managers of the schools on whose behalf he spoke was at present for more time to consider the new cod", and to ascertain in detail how it was likely to afiaot them financially. He hoped that the Lird-President of the Council would at least accede to the request that before the new code earr.e into operation further time should be given to ascertain how it was likely to affect the voluntary schools. Clause 72, dealing With the. minimum t"8.I..tI" staff, rendered it necessary that managers should have time to see whether they cotild increase their gtaff. Then it was necessary for managers to have time to ascertain how they would stand financially under clause 100, which regulated the grants, and provided that unless a school could entitle itgelf at. least to tho 12 grant it should receive nothing. It was desirable also that some explanations should be given with respect to the proposed establishment of day training colleges, and to the regulations requiring an increase iu the cubic space per scholar in schools. The Bishop of LONDON discussed with soire minuteneub the provisions of the new eode. The Earl of HARROWBY regretted that the new code would greatly mcrease the powers of the Education Department (through their inspectors) over the schools whose tate, financially speaking, would be in their hands. Nor could he help feeling great apprehension as to tho effect which the requirements of the new code would probAbly, have upon the future of the voluntary schools. So far as he could see, the new code wouid not command the willing assent of any party interested in education. After further discussion, Lord CKANBROOK said that he believed the code was just both to the voluntary and other schools; and, while he admitted that it did not carry out many of the recommendations | of the Royal Commissioners, be must point out that it wculd have been impossible to overcome the opposition which such an attempt would have encountered. It was not intended to lay down a hard and fast rule with regard to the provision of 100 cubic feet for each scholar in existing schools and in order to remove apprehensions on this point, he proposed to amend the rult- in such a way as to make it clear that the lequirement in question would only apply to schools to be built henceforth. There was no ground for apprehending that the grants would be capriciously increased or decreased, because the conditions of such increase or decrease would be distinctly laid down in the code, and the inspectors would be required to report specifically in regird to each of tfiern. It was incorrect to say that the code made no provision for moral teaching, or that it imposed an undua burthen upon schools by exacting an increase of the teaching staff and diminishing the encouragement given to pupil teachers. In regard to the latter point, they had only carried out imperfectly the recommendations of the Royal Commission j and he maintained that neituer from this provision, nor from others which had been referred to, had the managers of voluntary schools anything to fear. Th^ most rev. prelate had pressed for time. Wei), the First Lord of tho Treasury had promised that the new code should not come into operation until it had been considered in the other House, which could not be very early, and under no circumstances could it come into opera- tion before Octcber next. Nothing could be more contrary to the truth than the suspicion which seemed to bo entertained in some quarters that the Education Department was inclined to favour board at the expense of voluntary schools. After some (ibservation-i from Earl BEAUCHAMP and Earl SPFL.NCICR,tho subject dropped. The House adjourned at 25 minutes past seven o'clock.

Mr PicTO.N g:tvf, tiotice tliat iiii the second leading of the Customs and Inland Revenue Bill ho would move" That this House is unwilling to sanction a bill which involfes the continuance for another year of the present duty on tea. I MR BALFOUR'S PRISONERS. I Mr MATTHEWS, i I) answer to Mr Causton, said that Nli-Willitjii O'Brien was lodged in Holloway, and Mr E. Harrington in Pentonville, in charge of Irish police officers. The governors of the prisons had been instructed to allow their treat- ment to be regulated aocordinfr to the information they received from the Irish officers, in order that the prisoners might be treated here as they were in the Irish prisons from which they came. I A PUBLIC EXECUTIONER. I Sir E. brouglit iii a bill to provide I Sir E. LECHMKKH brought in a bill to provide I for the appointment of a public executioner. I SUPPLY. I on the vote of 2133.823 for tlin Local Govern- ment Board, Sir WALTER FOSTER called attention to the prevalence of blindness in the ejunti-Y, whici), he said, was greatly owing to the negligence or ignorance of parents. Ophthalmia, which often- times led to the destruction of the sight, was frequently proflent in newly-born children, and he {suggested that it sliouid be the duty of the Registrars of births and deaths to send round with the vaccination notices cards similar to those issued by the eye hospital at Bradford, pointing out the symptoms of ophthalmia, ami the necessity of bring it under treatment. Mr RITCHIE promised to see if anything could be done to meet the right lion. gentlemoln's wishes. Mr A. GUAY complained that in many work- i liouses invalids were required to associate with imbeciles. Mr CHANNING objected to the practice of vaccinating workhouse children within two or three days of their birth. Mr RITCHLK -aid the matter lay within the dis- cretion of the guardians, upon whom was the responsibility ot carrying out the law. The Local Government Board had no authority to interfere, but had zi-eii advice that it was desirable child- ren should be vacciuated before leaving the workhouse, because after that they were lost sight of, and because then would then be properly treated. Certainly the operation should not be carried on without the consent of the mother, or unless the medical officer thought the children could bear it. Tho admission of imbeciles to the infirmary ward was carefully watched by inspectors, and both the jurisdiction of tho Local Government Board ,"d the Lunacy Cmnmis- .sionets would be exercised. Sir W. FOSTKR aud Mr WINTERBOTHAM drew attention tll cases in which conslderaGIe hardship was inflicted in requiring men with small incomes and large families to contribute to the support of relatives who were in receipt of relief under the poor law. Mr RITOHIK believed it was generally recognised as a right principle to endeavour to obtain from relatives a contribution to the maintenance of those who were receiving parochial relief, and that any other principie would be liable to abtise and would be detrimental to the ratepayers. Still, when cases of hardship occurred, if the Local Government Board had power by remon- strance or otherwise to induce those in authority to deal with them in a more humane plrit, they would not hesitate to exercise it. lie hoped that guardians and others who had to admiuster the law would take care that it was not unduly strained. hear.) Mr LABOCCHKRK pointed out that he con- sidered the travelling expenses of the inspectors of the Local Government Board were excessive, amounting as they did to £ 23,COO a year. Ho thought there was room for economy in this respect, especially in regard to the payment of allowances to inspectors of workhouses. Mr RITOHIK said that the inspectors referred to received only a guinea a night for their hotel expenses, which were reasonable. In future all workhouse inspectors would have to reside in their own district, and thus a saving in travelling expenses would be effected. The vote was then agreed to without a division. Oil the vot.e of B19,421 for the expenses of the Mint and coinage, Mr LABOUCHKRE compl-imed of the large number of fl .I MIS coined. Mr H. H. FOWLKK said there was great compl-dnt in the manufacturing districts as to scarcity of small change. Mr JAOKSON said that steps were being taken to increase the amount of small silver coinage, and to alleviate the scarcity rsferred to, The vote was then agreed to. Progress was reported, and the sitting was suspend(, -h,,rtly befora seven o'clock. I RESUMED SITTING. I The Hou '.o resumed at nine o'clock. Mr E. ROBKKTSON called attention to the representation of universities, and moved, "That in the opinion of this House the privilege possessed, by certain of the universities of returning members of Parliament aught to be discontinued." He made the motion in no spirit of hostility or disrespect to the universities, for be admitted that those institutions bad furnished an abundant supply of honourable and able public men. He simply desired the universities to be regarded as parliamentary constituencies, and as such be invited the House to pass sentence of death upon therm. University representation was a unique anomaly, entirely opposed to the existing parliamentary system, aud proauctive of no good result. Dr FARQUHARSON seconded the resolution. The SOLIOITOR-GKNKRAL for SCOTLAND, as the latest recruit in the rauks ot univei-sity representatives, felt some embarassment in resisting a resolution proposed by one of his constituents and seconded by another. (Laughter and hear, hear.) The question,he took it, ought to be decided on principle, and uob on the merits or demerits of those who happened for the tima being to Bit for universities. He desired to point out that the proposal was not a practical one. It was an abstract resolution not to be followed by immediate legislation, and there was no popular demand for the proposed change. The case for university representation was unique in its strength. It had not only the sanction of great antiquity, but also of recent and deliberate enactment, (Hear. bear.) It was not wise of the proposer of the motion to remind the House that the educated classes and the learned classes were opposed t? the Radical party. (Hear, hear.) His proposal was retro- grade and Philistine, and be must oppose it. Mr HALDANE said that the representatives of universities represented the most ordinary form of Toryism, and not the learning, literature, or science and art of those institations. After some rema.-k* by Sir J. Lubbock, Sir G. O. TRRVKLYAN said this was the greatest piece ot privilege existing, and the most obtrusive and unadulterated form of plural voting, because the members had a vote in the district in which they lived and also one for their old university. After further discussion the motion was rejected on a division by 217 to 126. The House adjourned soon after one o'clock. The Press Association understands that a special whip will be issued by the Radical Members' Committee in support of Mr Picton's amendment to the Customs (Ireland) Revenue Bill, which is down for second reading on Monday. An appeal will be issued from the same quarter on behalf of Mr Laboucbare's motion on hereditary legislators on Friday. Objection viill be taken on the Conservative benches to Reveral points in the Now Education Code. Among these is the provision ai to the space to be allotted per head to the children. Strong opposition will also be uffored on behalf of the school teachers to the coutinued limitation of the grant.
THE CONGREGATIONAL UNION,
THE CONGREGATIONAL UNION, The proceedings of the 57th annuai meeting of the Congregational U oion were concluded yentt rday by a meeting at the Memorial-hall, presided over by the Rev F. J. Falding (Bradford). MISSIONARY WORK. The R.!v R. WARDLAW THOMPSON, ia making a statement on behalf of the London Missionary Society, that the society, though undenomi- national, was "practically the Congregational Missionary Society. From the beginning there had been an honourable connection between the society and tha Congregational Churches, who bad been its chief supportero. Consequently, the position of the Loudon Missionary Society, he urged, closely affected the Christian honour of the Congregational Churches. He was quito aware of the pressing and growing claims of home missionary work, but, on the other hand be asked his hearers to consider the extent of the heathen world in utter darkness. In conclusion he appealed to them to rise to the great occasion, and respond liberally to the present demand. The Rev Dr Maofayden (Manchester) proposed a resolution earnestly commending to the churches the claims of the society to more sympathetic consideration and liberal fupport.andappointinga special committee to confer with the directors with the view of devising measures by which the churches may be brought into closer and more fruitful relations to the society as being practically, though oot formally, their own agency for foreign missionary work.—Mr Frederick Craven (Bradford) seconded the resolution, which was carried. PitEACHING. A conference on preaching next followed. The Rev Dr A. Mackenual (Bowdon) initiated it by a paper on Training for Pr-schitig in our Colleges." He laid down three endowments which must be possessed by every preacher. The first was certitude, as the preacher must have confidence in the matter of bis preaching. The second was sympathy, and the third intelligence, which he described as the aptness to know a sense of the value of kuowiede arising from tbe uso made of knowledge.—The Rev Principal Cave (Hackney College) followed with an address on the "Cultivalion of the Habit of Preaching with- out Manuscipt." He condemned the committing to memory of a sermon as bad art. There was always something in the tone which betrayed the mode of preparation. Indeed, as a mere question of art, he thought it was preferable to read from a book than read from the brain. The essentials of a good sermon he took to be clearness, vigour, and good style. A preacher should nt" er preach unless he bad something to say. He did not mean that a man should be silent, but that the empty vessel should replenish. (Laughter,) When a point had been made the preacher should move on. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) In preaching without MS. a person was, in tho first place, open to inspiration from his audience, and, in the next place, more open to inspiration from heaven. In conclusion, be declared that studied eloquence was not the highest. The highest eloqueuce was seen when a man became eloquent without seeming to be eloquent.-A brief discussion followed, after which a resolution expressing sympathy with Miss Stirling, of the Salvation Army, who has returned to Switzerland to complete her sentence, was carried unanimously. The proceedings theo terminated.
THE. SUNDAY CLOSING ACT. -
THE. SUNDAY CLOSING ACT. Mr Stuart Kendel and the Royal Commission. Speaking at tiie annual meeting of the Montgomeryshire Liberal Association, Mr Stuart Reiidel, M.P., remarked that the commIttee of Wilsti members bad keps a vigilant eye upou this question, and they took the earliest opportunity of meeting the attack against the first Welsh Act. He had the honour of presiding at the meeting, which was very largely attended, and so unanimous were the Welsh members aa to the operation of the Sunday-closing Act that they did not think it necessary to discuss their personal epiuious. What they desired to do was to have a fair commission appointed, but from the present Government, almost intoxicated as it was with its great power, be was afraid they bad not very much hope oi a favourable reply, although it was the undoubted duty of any Government on an exclusively Welsh question to take into its counsels the Welsh representatives.
The Man About Town.
The Man About Town. The discussion at the Newport Chamber of Commerce yesterday fully confirms the statements made in this column that a large section of merchants and shippers of the port were dismayed and dissatisfied with the report of the sub-committee appointed to enquire into the causes of the serious decline in trade. Sir George Elliot made one of his rare appearances before the Chamber to "deplore very much" anything which tended to diminish the reputa- tion of Newport, or indicate the existence of discord or disunion. But facts "are chiels that winua ding," and truth is truth all the world over. You may as well endeavour to suppress a growth of mushrooms with a sheet of blotting- paper as try to hide from the public the figures and circumstances relating to the trade of the port, which are obvious to every person who takes the trouble to enquire for himself. It is very often difficult to understand the potii. tiou of Mr C. D. Phillips but yeaterday he was more inconsistent and self- contradictory than ever. Let tts have the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth," he said, and if it stood alone it would be a most wholesome sentiment. » Immediately afterwards, however, he pro- tested that the Chamber of Commerce would not be doing its duty in allowing a report to be published which was not for the benefit of Newport. In a similar j spirit Captain Lonsdale piMjviscd that the report should be considered in com- mittee of the whole Chamber before publicity was given to it, as though its purport had not been made known to the whole of Newport through the columns of the Echo. Mr Heard, the President, and Mr Colborne made a gallant stand for an absolute unbosoming of the views of the Chamber as to the hindrances to commerce, and the causes of the decline but Sir George Elliot's friends were determined to back him up, and, in fact, carried an amendment which might be likened to the tactics of the pursued ostrich which buiied its head in the sand, and seeing nothing, thought it- self undiscerned which might be likened, I said, if it were not that naturalists have proved that the ostrich does no such thing, wherefore it must be regarded as more sensible than yester- day's majority at the Newport Chamber of Commerce. Captain Murrell, master of the s.s. Mis- souri, Knight of the Danebrog, the saviour of the crew of the Danmark, and whose chief honour, perhaps, it is to be a brave son of Cardiff, will find that there is occasionally an exception to the proverbial rule that "no man is a prophet in his own country." It was not only the life-savino service which has made him dis- tinguished. He took upon himself the serious responsibility and unknown risks of jettisoning part of his caiyo to provide accommodation and make things comfortable for the rescued and sorely distressed men of the Danish vessel. What loss this involved fell upon the Under- writers, and yet the Underwriters were among the first to recognise the merit of his deed, and start a fund as a testimonial to the promptness and humanity of his action. We know what the King of Denmark has done for Captain Murrell, and that the Lord Mayor proposes to offer him all the honour that in in his power. It is not so well known that on his visit to his home in Cardiff on Monday week the I I gallant young giant-he is less than thirty and more than six feet-is to be given a reception," which may take the form of a complimentary dinner, and if dinners are compliments it will be one that Captain Murrell has well deserved. The excursions from Cardiff to the Paris Exhibition for clerks and artisans, of which Mr W. J. Trounce was invited to undertake the organisation, will commence in about a fortnight—namely, May 24, for which date the names of a small party are already booked, The second, which is expected to be the more popular, because it will cover the Whitsuntide holi- days, will start on June 6th. Thence for- ward, if the enterprise is sufficiently sup- ported, fortnightly, and possibly weekly, trips w-11 be made in parties of not less than twenty-five in number. It has been arranged that the excursionists shall leave Cardiff by the London express, and travelling all night arrive at Paris between 6 and 7 a. in. the next morning, at the very modest charge of £ 6 for a week, including board, entrance to the exhibition, and the services of the French conductor. The Cardiff Young Men's Christian Associa- tion are offering members and associates a series of seven days' trips (board, of course, included) on every alternate Friday, on and after May 24th, for the sum of Y,5, the additional advantage being offered to those not pressed by time of remaining for a longer period at a cost of 7a 6d a day, I am afraid the steamboat trip from Cardiff to Rouen I mentioned the other day is out of the question. Though it would be easy to take a comfortable passenger boat of) say, 1,500 tons up to Houen, it would involve six tides, or, prac ically, three daya both going and returning, and mean in any case a fort- night's trip, with <In}y eight days in Paris, as against the proposed excursion of 18 hours by rail and sea. When oil when are we to hear some- thing more definite of the proposed Cardiff Gymnasiuin ? I have several times men- tioned the difficulties the promoters have been met with, especially in quarters where they had a right to expect sympathetic assistance. These rebuffs, however, ought to stimulate the gentlemen who have taken the most active part in the Gymnasium scheme to renewed and greater efforts to a ccom- plish their end. Many of the men who are uroiIlg them to more onergetic action, myself included, are quite disinterested. With dumb-bells and a cold bath in the morn- ing, and a brisk walk then or at night, the Gymnasium becomes a luxury rather than a necessity. It is for the girls I plead, and no one who walks the streets of Cardiff with an observing eye will be disposed to chal- lenge my statement that in no town is the want of calisthenic exercises more marked than in Cardiff among the young ladies who are seen making their promenade on a sunny day. One might parody the venerable and cruelly-derided Dr Watts, and say, Whene'er I take my walks abroad, how many girls I see, with heads bent forward, shoulders raised, all walking from the knee." It is of no use for fathers or mothers to try to correct this defect. It requires prac- tice and instruction under a trainer-a skilful woman trainer of course. I want to see woman hold her shoulders back, and her head erect, and strike out from the hips when she is taking the air. The style of z;1 gait sometimes makes a plain woman appear to be handsome. The gymnastic exercise at all events fits women to, be the healthier wives and the stronger mothers. -j Bearing on this subject let me summarise I a personal'' notice in the last number of the San Francisco Argonaut. Miss Mabel Jenness, sister of the dress-reformer, Annie Jenness Miller, and who, like her sister, is a handsome woman, with a good figure,' de- clares that it is a woman's own fault if she is not pretty. Ugliness, she says, is, nine times out of ten, the result of indolence and carelessness. She herself, she says, has been thin, sallow, and round- shouldered that now her back is straight as an arrow, her cheeks and lips rosy, and her whole body plump and well- shaped and that she owes every bit of this to her own exertions and to her determina- tion to be beautiful. The great thing in her opinion is exercise not merely tiring one's self out, but the use of special movements calculated to produce certain definite results. Women who wish to preserve the ^limness and contours of their waist and figure must first begin by learning to stand well, and that means the throwing forward and upward of the chest, the flattening of the back, with the shoulder-blades held in their proper places, and a definite curving in of the small of the back, which throws the weight of the whole body upon the hips. Miss Jenness weighs over one hundred and forty pounds, but her waist measure is nearly twenty-seven inches and bust thirty- six, and she gives an impression of slimness, which she retains through the merits of her daily waist movements, consisting of bend- ing slowly from the waist and hip to one side, and then to the other; then diagonally, sjvinging the body upon the hips, like a pivot, in slow circles in every direction. This strengthens all the muscles in such a way that no woman who does it faithfully need ever fear to lose the roundness and delicacy of her waist.
