SIR ANDREW CLARKE ON EDUCATIONAL…
SIR ANDREW CLARKE ON EDUCATIONAL EXAMINATIONS. Sir Andrew Clarke, speaking at the opening of the New Medical Sohool, Sheffield, on Saturday night, condemned the present system of educational examinations. He said the questions to be answered for art and scienoe qualifications were sometimes so numerous, recondite, and oomplex that the preparation necessary to answer thena was bwoming in?mpstible wtth t?.. edQQ..iou. genuine tidy, and tborongb work. The mere process of cramming might sparpen some of the F.wer intellectual powers, but it wonld sap the strength of higher ones and place the pupil at a terrible disadvantage in dealing subsequently with the praotioal problem of life and work.
VERY AMUSING.
VERY AMUSING. A rather amusing incideut. saysjthe Wedmoreland Gazette, oconrred in the Town Hall on Satarday afternoon. There was a sitting of the Bankruptcy Court, and about half-past two o'clock a messenger arrived stating that the mayor had died suddenly and that ths flag was going to be hoisted half-mast high. Of oourse a deep gloom was oast over the plaoe. In a few minutes a second message was received that it was not the mayor who was dead, but aome other townsman equally respected, for which the flag had to be hoisted. Those in the room were iept in 8UBpI\Se for some time, when a farther message was received to the effect that no one was dead, aud that the flag was to be hoisted in honour of Alderman Whitehead being chosen Lord Mayor of London. Everybody breathed freer after that.

"GENERAL" BOOTH'S INCOME.
"GENERAL" BOOTH'S INCOME. At the Southwark Polios Court, on Friday, George Humphreys, an ex-conviot, was charged on remand before Mr Sbeil with stealing a number of letters containing cheques and postal-orders, the property of General" Booth, of the Salvation Army. The prisoner was employed at the premises of the Salvation Arm), Southwark-street; and in consequenoe of the disappearance of several letters suspioion fell on the aocused; and on being ques- tioned, he voluntarily confessed to the theft and asked to be forgiven. A witness from the Salvation Army Stores gave evidenoe as to the loss of the latteri, and said they were all the property of "General" Booth. The total amount missing was about £ 57.—Mr Sheil: He seems to be a very fortunate 11 General to reoeive so large an amount in one day. No field-marshal, maoh less generals, ever had such an income. Not all the marshals in France, Germany, or England would reoeive so muoh in a day as this general.—The witness, inter- poeing, said some of the money was sent for books and other good., and the prosecuting oounBed added that although the general's income was large his outgoings were very heavy.—Mr Sheil: No doubt the other offioers are equally well paid. You know what Carlyle once said, that the British nation was composed of so many millions-mostly foole. I wonder what lie would say if he were here to-day (Iaughter).-Evidence of the former conviction having been given, Mr Sheil intimated his intention to commit the prisoner for trial, but formLlIv remanded him r th completion of the depositions.
THE ABOLITION OF THE "TOP…
THE ABOLITION OF THE "TOP HAT." A correspondent writes to the Lancet:—" Wonld it not be a great boon to medical men to abolish the use of the tall silk hat, known as the top hat '? Has it not every disadvantage as a oomfortable and hygenio headgear? And oould not a substitute be found made of soft felt, the same material as olergymen's hats are made of. and somewhat the shape of tb. b.t c"l1ed the Beaufort,' one flat at the top and abont two-thirds the height of the top hat, which would look equally professional and be infinitely more comfortable ? The tall hat now worn constricts the bead, makes many people's heads aohe, impedes circulation in the soalp, and is always a nuisance in wet w8l1.ther-a faot appre- ciated this summer. During, in hie work on the skin, goes so far as to say that such hate are a mechanioal cause of baldness in men. To qnote his words, The hard rim of the hat pressing on the temporal arteries narrows the blood stream, and checks the dvanoe of pabulum to the hair. Those seated farthest from the periphery suffer most, as on the orown, though the temples, as their name indicates, are also easily affected, no doubt because the skin tnere is wholly dependent on the temporal arteries for its cripply.' Evidence of its oausing headaohe can be easily obtained; bat to qnote a standard work, that of Bristowe's Praotice of Medicine.' Thns paic almost accurately resem- blinc in all its charaoteristios that of megrim may be induoed by the simple pressure of an unyielding hat upon the frontal hranobes of the fifth pair, which, though cured by removal of that pressure, often lasts long enough. If only a sufficient number who wished a change-and I am sure they are nnmerous-would abolish its upe, it would be a great benefit in allowing a yonng man (the older men oan more easily please themsalves) to wear a oomfortable hat without being thought nnprofoe- sional in appearance, Your bonnet to his right use 'tis for the head.'

INFANT LIFE INSURANCE.I
INFANT LIFE INSURANCE. I The Executive of the London Sooiety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children haa just resolved to press upon the oountry and Parliament the total abolition of the present system of ohild insuranoe. It assails the system of child insuranoe, root and brauch. Bad in principle, it is (the Executive con- tends) also bad in praotioe. The cases are not to be counted in which it fosters the vilest possibilities of parental nature, and ends in the destruction of children by aooidehtal suffocation, deliberate star. vation, the bringing on of fits by improper food, the giving of fatal medicine, and exposure and beating in illness. What the society holds is that, under conditions like these, it is perfectly monstrous to allow one farthing of money advantage to be on the side of the little iuvalid's death. —♦

DISESTABLISHMENT IN WALES. A MISTY MISSIVE FROM MB GLADSTONE. Mr Gladstone has addressed the following letter to Mr J. E. Blackledge, who drew his attention to the Welsh disestablishment question, and stated that for the last two sessions the promoters of dises- tablishment had been leftto the chances of the ballot, as the only day on which they secured a place was taken from them by the Government. Mr Gladstone was asked if he would support a demand for a debate and division on the Welsh Church next session. He says:— Hawarden Castle, Chester, October 6th, 1888. Dear Rir,-I have never felt it fall to me to advise the Welsh members r-e to bringing forward the Welsh Church question at any particular time, but I certainly feel, and probably have said, that it is hard upon Wales that they should be prevented from doing so by the extraordinary absorption of Parli- amentary time, which the Tories and dissentient Liberals have given almost entirely to the disposal of the Goverrime. t.-Your faithful and obedient, W.

SIR W. HARCOURT ON TEMPERANCE PROGRESS. Sir William Haroonrt; speaking on Tuesday at the annual meeting of the United KingdomAlliance, in Manchester, said that it could not but be a matter of oongratnlation to thoBe who had worked for the cause that they were in sight of viotory. He recognised with satisfaction that they had friends and supporters in men of every party and creed. They were willing to recruit from every oamp, and they deolined nothing that would advanoe their cause. He had adopted the views that he now held upon this question principally sinoe he was Home Secretary. No man who had filled the offioe of Home Seoretary for five years oould fail to be impressed wi:h the terrible evils that had their source in drink. The remedy was in their own hands it was the remedy whioh the Alliance lived to promote-to give the people the power to protect and to 9avp an English and constitutional remedy, that of local option. Every increased suffrage gave inoreabed power to the temperance party. FUNERAL REFORM. The Archbishop of York presided on Friday at a conference on bnrial reform, held in the Council Chamber at York. He said the society was persevering in its attempt to oonvince the publio that funerals ought to be inexpensive, and that they ought to be marked, as far as it was possible, by every sign of cheerfulness, instead of despair, on the part of those who oame around the mourning relatives. Cheerfulness from the latter they old not expect, but there ought to he nothing to heighten their despair, and everything (ooousole and oomfort. Referring to tbe sanitary aapict of the question, his Grace said there was not a single big town, aq far as he knew, where there were not places which ondit not to be all<1wed to exist— nests of infection and pollution, undrained, un- attended, and unrepaired, simplv representing the cupidity "f some who drew gain from the poor, and in drawing rent slew them by infection and disease. The law of England did not allow any class citiz ns, under any pretext whatever, to kill another class of citizens, and therefore he shoold be pleased to sign a memorial of the association on the subject. The cause of burial reform was a noble oai]se--it was the cause of the poor. Resolu- tions cotidemning the storing up. in the neighbour- hood of sreat populations, vast mtsses of hnman remains; aeoidini to memorialise the Home Seoretarv to inquire Into the condition of cemeter- ies and the mode of burial adopted, with a view to legislation and exnressing the opiuion that funeral arrangements should be as simple and inexpensive as possible, were adopted. ———————

TERRIBLE BALLOON ACCIDENT. Particulars have been received by the last Cana. dian mail of a terrible aooident wbioh ooourred on Wednesday week at the Ottawa Exhibition, one of the attractions of which was a balloon ascent, in which "Professor" Williams, after reaching a height of 1000 feet, was to descend by means of a parachute. Five thousand persons were present to witness the performance. Among the crowd was a yonng man named Wensley, who had secured a good hold on tbe rope running around the bottom of the balloon. All was ready and the Professor shonted Letfgo," when to;the dismay of every one Wensley still maintained his hold on the rope, deaf to all the ories of the crowd to drop. As the balloon ascended rapidly his struggles to tighten his grasp were observed with breathless anxietv. When a height of abont 1000 feet was reached he was eeen to draw himself up as a last effort to save himself, and then bia hold relaxed, and with lightning speed he feU towards the earth. During the first part of the fall he came feet foremost, but suddenly turned a Bomersault, and with outstretched arms and legs he etruok the ground about 300 yards from where the balloon started. The lifeless mass was dis- figured almost beyond recognition. Mr Williams, who was at the moment quite unaware of the terrible tragedy, descended in safety shortly after- wards.
A WELSH PECKSNIFF. I
A WELSH PECKSNIFF. I rotlJl MONTHS' IMPRISONMENT FOR ROBBING THE LON- I nON AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY. John Jones, an elderly man, who is treasurer of a Welsh chapel, a local preacher, Sunday School teacher, and is engaged in extensive building opera- tions at Colwyn Bay, was placed in the dock at the Dale-street Police Court, Liverpool, on Monday, before Mr Raffles, oharged with stealing at various dhtes four boxes of tin of the value of £ 5 belonging to the London and North Western Railway Com- pany. John Almond, jun., and Joseph Bewley were also charged with the same offence. Mr A. C Preston prosecuted on behalf of the railway oompany, and in opening the oase drew attention to the position occupied by the prisoner, which contrasted with the wages he received from the railway company—viz., 26s a week; and he proceeded to state the case at some length. Jones, it appeared, was foreman of the goods department (Seotion D 3), at the Waterloo goods station, and had sole charge of the tin deposited there. The prisoners Almond and 3ewley were employed by John Almond, sen., who was now in custody. Almond, sen., was a contracting tinker for tin liniug oases for shipment, and the robberies had extended over a number of years. When sus- picions were directed to Jones, his storeroom was visited by Detective-inspector Standford, who desired to see the tin that Jones had oharge of, Jones showed him some boxes which were dif- ferently branded to those required, and when Jones's attention was drawn to this he said, Oh, will yon let me get a drink of water-, I feel -o bad." Afterwards, when a number of empty boxes were found, prisoner said, I took the tin out of these and gave 100 sheets to John Almond last week, because he was hard up." Jones was taken into onstody, and later on Almond, inn., and Bewley were apprehended. .Tories pleaded guilty, and was sentenoed to three months' hard labour. The other prisoners were disoharged, Mr Raffles eaving that he failed to see anything against them. When Jones was appre- hended he bad L16 tOo in his possession. John Jones and Richard M'Gowan were charged conjointly with stealing a quantity of tinplates, also the property of the company, from twenty-five boxes at Section D of the Waterloo goods station. It was shown that Jones was present and directed M'Gowan, who was employed under him, what to do. When M'Gowan was apprehended he said, I did steal them, but it was for John JoneB." In reply to Mr Raffles, it was stated that the prisoner M'Gowan had been a long time in the servioe of the company. Mr R.ffle.Will he lose his position ? Mr Prestou.-C, tainly he will. Mr Raffles.—That will be punishment enough. Mr Preston. Do yon reoord a conviction again him? Mr Raffles.-No. Subsequently the Stipendiary added that M'Gowan, who had long worked under Jones, must bave been greatly undor his power. Mr Pre8ton.-I quite appreciate the point. M'Gowan was ordered to stand down, and Jones, who pleaded euilty, was sentenced to another month's imprisonment. When M'Gowan oame up again the Stipendiary ordered him to be dieebarged, and immediately the dock gate was opened M'Gowan was received with a profusion of kisses by one or two females who had watohed the case. Another charge against Almond and Bewley was, on the recommendation of Mr RlIoflle, withdrawn. Mr Raffles said that the real mischief was that men not in the employ of the company should have been allowed to do the work they did in the com- pany's warehouse, and he did not beheve that if sent to the sessions the men would he convicted.

I IF DOCTORS FAIL, WHAT SHALL…
I IF DOCTORS FAIL, WHAT SHALL AVAIL f I ffrom a North Wales paper, August 24th.] Education, we are told, makes the thief better I thief, just as it makes the divine t ketter diyine. The nineteenth century has, muoh to its own cost, proved the truth of this adage. Science and art have made great strides during the present century I -but little mord to the advancement. of virtue than to the advantage of vice. To prevent the full erowth of truth and Duritv. there has always been the baneful influence of the false and the impure and to spoil the reputation of the genuine there has been constantly the fraudulent imitation. It is therefore not surprising that in an age in which there is such a mixture of the true and the false, of the genuine and the counterfeit, there should grow an abundant crop of scepticism as well as incredulity. Nor is it unnatural that by far the largest number of those who are unprincipled enough to face humanity with a sham, should choose the weaker and most credulous portion of mankind-the suffer- iag humanity—as their victims. If any one is easily beguiled, it is that man who has been driven to despair through illness. But its the number of counterfeit articles increase, so does the scepticism of the public increase. It becomes, therefore, one's duty,when be finds out the genuine article,to make it known for the benefit of others. It is with this object that we give publicity to the history of a somewhat miraculous cure of kidney disease by the use of Warner's SAFE Cure. The patient was Mr Thomas Hughes, living at 10, Northgate-street, Carnarvon, and well known among the bardic fraternity in Wales under the nomde plume" Isalun." Mr Hughes called at our office a few weeks ago, and stated how miraculously he had been cured of a malady that was day by day rapidly wrecking his constitution. We asked him whether he had any obection to our sending a representative from this ol ce to obtain some details of his cure, and he re- plied that,in the interest of others, he would be very glad to do it. This week our representative waited upon him, and being aware of Mr Hughes's in- different state of health for the past two years, was agreeably surprised, on entering the house, to find him so very hale and hearty. Having been ac. quainted of our representative's business, he wil- lingly consented to give all the details in reference to his case, For 35years Mr Hughes had been in the service of the London and North Western Rail- way Company, and his engagements with them ter- minated about nine montks ago owing to his being incapacitated by ill-heath to further discharge his duties. His complaint was kidney disease, symtoms of which appeared considerably over a year ago. His doctor closely examined him. but prescribed nothing beyond an advice to keep still and to seek repose. However, seeing that things did not im- prove in the least, the doctor asked Mr Hughes whether he desired to consult another medical man. Mr Hughes aid he should like to have another doctor's opinion, and consequently a consultation was had with one of the leading physicians of the :n,h07::i;e an txie,jgof:i::W:n,f pro- nounced him to be suffering from two complaints, and gave precisely the same advice as hi6 brother practitioner, but prescribed no medicine, Did this advice prove opsT)y ? nefit t 'o you? our repre- sentative asked. No," said Mr Hughee, things got no better.' He then proceeded to state how he came across an advertisement of Warner's,describing how a case perfectly identical with his own had been cured, in one of the Welsh papers published by iia-the Genedl. This came about one day when he was in great agony. He confessed that he never, previous to this day, had thought anything of this medicine; but being in acute pain and finding him- self gradually sinking, he decided to invest in a 4s 6d bottle. He took in all four bottles of the value of 4s 6d each, and one bottle value 10s 6d. These had the effect, of causing the pain in his back and hips to gradually subside, and finally, through an eruption in the bladder, he obtained perfect re- lief. I suppose you feel yourself a very different man now?" suggested our reporter. Of;¡! yes, very different, indeed," Do you feel that your health generally is improved?" "Yes, I havo changed completely." "Before you resorted to Warner's BAFR Cure,' what was your own opinion of your case, Mr Hughes?" "Well, to speakcan- didly, I thought there was no help for me; and, from what I gathered, that was the opinion of the doctors, too." Some more facts of a less direct character were elicited in the course of theinterview, which was closed by Mr Hughes saying that he had recommended the medicine to a well-known gentle- man in the town, who suffered from the same com- plaint; and, speaking from what the gentleman had told him, he could say that the first bottle taken by him had been productive of good results. It may be interesting to some of our readers to know that Mr Hughes is in his 72nd year, and is now in the enjoyment of the best possible health.
LORD SUDELEY ON MR MORLEY'S…
LORD SUDELEY ON MR MORLEY'S VISIT I TO WALES. The following is the letter from Lord Sudeley to whioh reference was made by Mr Osborne Morgan at the Liberal meeting at Newtown on Monday :— Sir,-Seeing that my name has been rather pro- minently made public in connwtion with the ap U.a .t hi-g ?1-?t?i.pa' ? ineet"ing in Wales, m the host of Mr John Morley, and presumably as a supporter of what I understand to be some of the objects of that meeting, I trust to your kindness to allow me, through your columns, to mane it known that Mr Stuart Ben. del, M.P., is the entertainer of Mr Morley, and that however much it would give me pleasure, socially, to be of service to those gentlemen, and to aid them in any movement in the interests of Wales, I cannot allow it for one moment to be implied that I sym- pathise in the slightest degree with the views res- pecting Ireland entertained by that section of the Liberai Party to which they belong. For this reason I declined, when asked to do so, to preside or take any part in the proceedings of the meeting. Like many others who have for several years served under Mr Gladstone, I deeply deplore the line he has thought right to follow since the last general election, when the verdict of the nation was given against his proposed Irish legislation, and in favour of the restoration of law and order to Ireland before the consideration of any further remedial measures. Believing strongly that the position ought to be accepted, au d that tbe right policy is to support the hanys of the present Government, I cannot remain quiet and be supposed to be in sympathy with those who, it appears to me. are doing all in their power to weaken, instead of strengthening, the Executive in Ireland.—Your obedient servant. Ireland.—Your obedient servant, SPDKLEY. 44, Grosvenor-gardens, Oct. 6th.
DEATH -OF TOM KING. I
DEATH OF TOM KING. I The death of the well-known pugilist, Tom King, is announced as having taken place at his residenoe in Clapham-park. He was a native of Stepney, and was born in 1836. He was brought up as a sailor, but left the sea to work in the docks, where frequent euoounterB brought him nnder the notice of Jem Ward, who introduced him to the ring as his novice. He anon made a name for himself within the ropes, and he was then taken in band by Nat Langham, under whose tutelage he challenged and fought Jem Mace for the championship. He *ras defeated, but again fought him at Thames Haven on November 26th. 1863, when he in turn defeated Mace, and secured the title of ohampion. King soon after relinquished the belt, however, and declared his career as a pugilist at an end. He re- retired. but was induced to withdraw from his retreat by a challenge to fight Heenan for £1000 a-side, a ohallenge which exoited almost as muoh interest as did the meeting between the Benioia Boy and J'om Savers. The two met at Walburst on December 10th, 1863, and after 24 rounds had been fought, occupying 3D minutes, Heenan was itefeated. The victory brought King prominently under publio notice and perhaps some remini- scences of his earlv career induced him to now trv his hand at sculling. He beat Edward May, of Lambeth, and James Percv. of Newcastle-on-Tvne aud on February 28th, 1865. he rowed Caffin from Putney to Mortlake, but after a foul the nmpire decided that the race should be rowed over again. On this ocoasion King waa beaten, and with his defeat withdrew from aquatics. He then entered the betting ring, and became well known among the racing fraternity. He acted as bookmaker and commission agent, in whioh latter oapaoitv he is believed to have amassed a considerable snm of money; and it is said that he wor £4000 over Mflton's viotory in the Liverpool Antumn Cup of 1886. The list time he visited the Victoria Club was on the day when Lord Hastings Bet sail for Australia. In personal appearance he was a tall, well-built man, with nothing about him to indicate the retired pugilist. The cause of death is stated to be bronchitis.

It was originally purohased for the purpose of being fattened up for a great family festival. The bird, however, became so sensible of the attentions lavished upon it that it showed evident signs of delight when its owner appeared upon the scene, and danced around him and oaokled with joy. The death eentenoe was forthwith countermanded, and the goose elevated to the rank ef a family pet. She waa christened Josephine, and used to follow her master about the streets. The other day an attempt was made to seize Josephine. She flew at the would-be captor, lacerated his nose in a most fearful manner, and nearly destroyed one of his eyee. The man and the goose were accordingly summoned, and a stern police magistrate ordered the bird to be kept at home for the future.

A REMARKABLE STORY. On Friday, at Queenstown, a lady-like woman named Emelie Land, aged 40, oslled upon the Nor. wegian Consul and told a remarkable story. She came from New York by the Arizona," and was en route to Christiania. On the voyage, however, a well-to-do Irish farmer nt med Daly, a widower, who had been visiting his sons in America, fell in love with her, and they agreed to get married. For this purpose she landed at Queenstown on Wednesday night instead of continuing her voyage to Liverpool. Daly took her to two hotels in Queenstown, at which they stayed, but an k riday he disappeared. She appears to bave smelt a rat, and proceeded to the railway station, where she foand the widower about to depart for his home in Queen's County. She entreated him not thus to desert her, and got into the carriage with him. The train proceeded, aud a violsat scene occurred at the Blarney Station, where she jamped out in a furious state, and called upon a polioeman to help her. The offieer, however, declined to interfere, and she then returned to Queenstown, where she appealed to the Consul to send her home to Norway, all her own fands being exhausted.

THE LONDON TRAGEDIES.
THE LONDON TRAGEDIES. Sir Charles Warren witnessed a private trial of bloodhounds in one of the London parks at an easly hour on Tuesday morning. The hounds are the property of Mr Edwin Brongh, of Wyndyate, near Scarborough, who for years past has devoted him- self to bloodbouud breeding. He was oommuoicato4 with by the police,aiad came to London on Saturday evening, bringing with him two fine animals.named Barnaby and Burgho. Mr Brougb tried both dogs in Regi-nt's Park at seven o'clock on Monday morn- ing. The groun d was thickly ooated with boar frost, but they did their work well, sacoes<fally tracking for nearly a mile a yonj man who was given about fifteen minutes' law; they were tried again in Hyde Park last night.
