Wednesbury, Staffordshire, February 8th, 1S59. To MR GWJLYM EVANS, Dear Sir,—For seven j ears I suffered very severely from Indigestion and Liver Complaint. I could get but little sleep with the pain that I tuf- fered, and life had become a burden to m". I can say truly that I had spent scores ot pounds on doctors, and tried many of the medicines which I saw advertised. but could get no relief, until I bad almost given up all hopes of ever re- gaining my former health. I was urged one day to try GWILYM EYA:'S' QUININE BITTERS, and it was with some reluctance that I consented to g. t a bottle, but I have had occasion since to bless the day it was brought to my notice. The first few doses relieved the pain that I always had after eat- ing to such an ex ent that I could enjoy my food. One bottle so changed me that instead of being afraid of eating one meal a day, I felt I could eat four. I bave ceen able since to continue my work without a break, a very unusual thing for me for years, and air, quite another man. I can cor.tl'aõltly reamlDeurl GWILYM EVANS" BITTERS, and am anxious that others who have and do suffer as I did should obtain ttie same wonderful relief as I have bad.—I am, dear sir, you-s respect- fully, JAMES GRIFFITHS.

It seems to build up the exhausted nervcus system by a slow comulative process, which irapai ti force and vitality to all the organs of life.

I have often thought, and I believe I have com. mented on the utterly inartistic way in which the majority of photographers pose their sitters, and how seldom we see a group of persons taken in anything like natural or pleasing positions. I have frequently endeavoured to arrange my own drapery when sitting in the front of a camera, and have felt uncomfortable fr,m the conscious- ness that the frill round my neck was out of place, or the skirt of my dress twisted, and per. haps showing too much of an obtruding foot. But I have found by the result that to arrange all these details for oneself is impossible, and I have sometimes said to a photographer How delightful it would be to have an artistic lady in your studio, who would attend to all these little matters and pose your sitters to best advantage before you immortalise them on your sensitive plate, just as they are." I was told that the proprietors of the new premises in Regent-st. just opened by the stereoscopic and photographic company, are much of my way of thinking, and accordingly I went with pleasure to see their arrangements on the occasion of their opening day. The dressing-rooms and studios are charming, furnished with every comfortable appliance, and the latest specimens of work done by new and carefully considered processes are excellent. I mounted to the top studio to have a little chat with the artist whom the company has already engaged to arrange their sitters, and to assist in the production of the best effects possible in photography. They quite realise that the mechanical production of a fine photograph is an entirely dif. ferent thing from the general artistic effect which causes individual sketches, or the paint. ings and drawings of a skilled hand to compara so favourably as they usually do with the oesfc photographs. The gentleman who now devotes himself to the interests of these photographers, showed me some of the groups on which he had exercised his skill, and I ventured to suggest to him that here was a suitable field for feminine taste and artistic arrangement. He perfectly agreed with me, and said that many a young lady artist would find such positions open to her, when the idea is more widely diffused amongst photographers. These new premises in Eegent-st. are but an extension of the old ones, so well-known, though the contrast is great between the airy, beautiful chambers now used as operating rooms, to which we ascended in a well managed lift, and the uncom- promising glare, heat and general bareness and discomfort of the studios into which we used to climb at the risk of wind and limb, to be baked and blinded, only a few rears ago when we sat for our portraits before a ) great camera in a London studio. The manager* of this newenterprise tooktheoppcrtunity of the openingof their premisestogive their friends and acquaintances a little pleasant music in their largest nnd beautifully-furnished waiting-room, and beguiled the inspection of their numerous dressing-rooms and studios by supplying agree- able refreshments by the way. Tea, coflee, fruifc nnd ices were provided ad libitum for a numer- ous company, and I listened with pleasure for nearly an Lour to the harmonious little concert given by members of the Lotuat Glee Club, and several charming solos from artists with Italian names that I cannot remember. The Lotus Club glees were particularly beautiful, and were sung with great pathos, the" Ring and the Rose," a Hungarian melody by Koschat; and "Massa's in the cold, cold ground," being two of them which specially pleased me. The desultory reading that one undertakes during holiday time or by the sea-side is scarcely worth the name of reading, and conduces to little else than amusement; but there are plenty of people who earnestly believe in reading good books as a means of improvement and education, and yet they often scarcely know how to set about it, with a definite object or in a methodical manner. I have just seen a prospectus of the j National Home Reading Union, endorsed with the names of some of the most distinguished I' scholars and philanthropists in England, as Vice-Presidents and Council of the Society, and I am much struck with the effort thus embodied to develop a taste for recreative and instructive 11 reading among all classes of the community, and t to direct home study to definite enes-thus checking the spread of pernicious literature amongst the young, and in some measure remedying the Vvaste of energy and lack of pur- pose so often found amongst those who have time and opportuni ty for a consid erable amount of read- ing. TheSociety suggests and publishes courses of 'reading adapted to the tastes and requirements of different classes of readers, viz., young people, artisans, and general readers. The annual sub- scription is very small indeed, and a little I magazine-is published every month, giving lists of suitable books, answers to questions, and other helps. I advise any of my readers who are, eYer ?b" urdened with the question, "What shall I I ever read r to apply to the Secretary of the National Home Reading Union, Surrey House, Victoria Embankment, W.C. I am much pleased with the selection of books given in this first year., prospectus for the young people's section, embracing as it does history, science, adven- ture, biography and fiction. Every book has its price attached to it, and I am told by a lady friend whose children have belonged to it from the beginning, that the books for all the sections are so cheap and so well and strongly bound that they are far more useful "than the same volumes in ordinary flimsy bindings. The outline for the General Reader s Section tempts one almost to commence the course. If I were only younger and less occupied I should love to do so, and I should feel that I was accumulating knowledge in a methodical and practical way. Only think of taking up a course of reading in Englisb literature up to the close of the Elizabethan epoch, and spending a few shillings only in such books as Stopford Brooke's "Primer of English Literature," Mrs. Haweis' "Chaucer for Schools," The Tempest," by fchakspere, and the North- West Passage," by Hakluyt, besides numbers of others recommended, and some to be used as references. Why, in two or three years one would become as well informed as many aGirton or Newnham student, and all the reading done at home! How often have most of us conned the columns of a Mudie's, or Grosvenor, or other library list, with very vague notions, as to the precise volumes to Iafik for, or how to accomplish anything like even a slight course of systematic reading on any sub. ject. In such a case it seems to me that the Reading Society steps in to prevent waste of time, and fruitless attempts to achieve anything definite. I wish very much that some of the many schemes for the higher and further educa- tion of women might include a knowledge of such subjects as concern the health and life of the vast numbers of human beings, whose early and later years are so dependent on proper arrangements and precautions against disease, which appeal specially to the mistress of a household. It seems to me of little use to be what is called a good housekeeper- to provide dainty dishes, and pretty rooms if there be round and about all, the pestilential atmosphere of imperfect drainage, and bad water supply. Surely true education ought to fit the pupil for his or her future work in life, and it seems to me to be of little use that a bright young girl should be able to construe Latin verses, or translate a Greek ode, if she be totally unin- formed as to what constitutes a healthy house. I I went yesterday to a meeting in Kensingtoi2 Town Hall convened by the anpient and worship. ful Company of Plumbers, which honourable society dates from the reign of King Edward the Third, 1365, a time when young men were apprenticed to such companies in the City of London and learned their craft cr trade earnestly and thoroughly, before they were allowed to practise it upon the homes and dwel- lings of good and innocent citizens. Times have changed since then, and even the great firms of contracting builders have no guarantee for the sort of workmen they employ in many of the most important branches of their contracts. The Plumbers' Company feel somewhat as if their ancient defences and landmarks had been removed, and they are anxious to raise the standard of their craft by insisting on a suffi. cient apprenticeship being complied with pre- vious to registration as a qualified and capable plumber. Moreover, it is hoped that considering I the immense interests at stake, the Government may see fit to prohibit the employment of any but competent and skilled workmen in building operations, and so in some measure to prevent the terribly evil effects of what is called jerry building." The meeting on this subject was very interesting to me and I heaved a sigh for the good old times when workmen were held responsible for "scamped" work, and when one or other of the ancient City guilds had authority and power to punish incompetent novices, who took upon themselves work about which they were ignorant or careless. Such oversight and training it is hoped may once again oe re. established, for it has of late fallen into de. I cadence along with many other good old habits and customs, but I was sorry at this meeting to see so few ladies present, not above half a dozen I at most, and one of them was the Lady Mayoress j herself, who thus endorsed the action of the good old City Guild, which like a Phoenix is now arising from its own ashes to 1 recommence important and sanitary work. Ought not women to be well informed about all such matters, sufficiently at least to be able t.o i insist on only properly registered competent workmen being employed in matters pertaining to ) the sanitary well-beingof their households. But, I alas! the very workmen themselves allow their own good sense to promote their active co-opera- tion with sanitary authorities, whilst the mis- tresses of households remain utterly supine, and continue to amuse themselves whilst danger to the lives and health of those they love, lurks in the water tank and the ill-made joints of the plumbing and drainage of their own homes. I write of this grea$evil and its possible remedy hoping to excite attention throughout the country. Already a great deal has been done in our northern towns such as Aberdeen, Dundee, Nottingham, Leeds, and Belfast, but as long as master builders will employ any man for any sort of work, and consider one as good as another, however he may have been trained, and the uninformed public submit to it, so long will there be the revelations of disease and death which continually fill us with dismay. And so it is in everything, in every branch 01 bft&dicnffc r777??? art or science.

Much as I appro, of this movement, and dearly as I love to see the little ones enjoying themselves and gaining health and strength in their new surroundings, I fear that there are rocks ahead even in this ex- cellent enterprise, and I know personally or some of the evil consequences which do ensue from the fact of numbers of ignorant, untrained children of both sexes being quartered in various cottage households for one or two weeks at a time, witli no supervision or • oversight whatever, for the labourers and their wives are far too busy to attend to them, even if they knew how their own sweet wills often the most undesi.rable guides, being all they have to direct the disposi- tion of their time from early morn to dewy eve. Without any restriction, so that they are home I in time for meals, they are let loose in the country fields or lanes, a band of precocious, un- trained boys and girls, many from some of the worst parts of London. Not know. ing what to do with themselves they usually fall into mischief. Indeed from my own knowledge, j I much hope that the whole system of children s country holidays may be reorganised. Unless it be so, 1 do not think that careful parents who care for their children's moral health even more than their physical welfare will be eager to send them where they are likely to learn much that is very bad for them, even in a fortnight. I can imagine a scheme for the reception of these youthful multitudes which would obviate the evils that have arisen, and help to open their eyes to the real attractions of this beautiful world, and yet give them far more freedom and joy than the kind philanthropists who now help to send them off in shoals, ever contemplate. But of this scheme I can say nothing at present; we wait events. London, Thursday. PEELOP2. TO CORRESPONDENTS. I < MRS.

No man or woman is Per-?L No man or woman is perfect, and in selecting a life partner compatibility of temperament, a loving dis- position, and a thorough knowledge of each other's character go a long way towards the promotion of lasting happiness. A much-respected minister, now deceased. in the Presbytery of Dundee, was a noted wag, and his humour occasionally broke out even in the pulpit. Entering the pulpit one Sunday, the first thing he did was to lift the tumbler of water, always placed ready for him, and holding it up critically before the whole congregation, he said, in the hearing of all— Ay, ay, just as I thought, last week's water, as usual," and placed it down with significant emphasis. Walking along with a young lady one day, a bright j boy heard a tree toad suddenly begin its shrill chirp. It will rain within twenty hours," he an- nounced oracularly. "That is a sure sign; never known to fail.' His prediction was received in good laith but after twenty-four hours of remarkably pleasant weather he was taken to task about his pre- diction. "Oh, well," he replied instantly, in an injured tone, the tree toad lied. I am not respon- sible for his morals." She had invited him to stop to supper, and he was trying to appear easy and unconcerned, while she was on her prettiest behaviour. "Have you used the suar, John inquired the mother, in a whining m?ner. JphB don't want no sugar," ejaculated the young beir, abruptly.

COLLIERY ACCIDENTS AND RELIEF.…
COLLIERY ACCIDENTS AND RELIEF. I CONFERENCE IN LONDON. I The Central Association for dealing with distress caused by mining accidents held tteir annual confer- ence at the Mansion House on Monday. In the absence of the Earl of Crawford, president of the association, Sir J. T. Dillwyn Llewelyr, president of the Monmouthshire and South Wales society, took the chair. Every mining district in the country was represented by authorities of Miners' Permanent Societies and others interested in movements for relieving distress caused by accidents in minef. Mr G. L. Campbell, the secretary, read the report of the council. which was accompanied by elaborate tables of statistics. It stattd that the returns for 1S89 showed that the t.tal membership of the Miners Permanent Societies was 238,bd2, the accumulated funds amounted to £ 310,637, and the revenue to £ °12 %7 The number of widows in receipt of annuities was 2,108, the number of children 3 4% and the disablement cases dealt with during the year numbered 41.837. The increases over 1888 were 8 G12 in ir en;bership, £ 34.35^ 5 in accumulated funds, 162 in the number of widowf,, and 2.118 in the number of cases of disablement, whilst there had been a decrease of 28 in the number of children. The report drew special attention to the experience of the West Ruling of Yorkshire Society, where there had been a decrease of over 7 000 members in consequence of the management having determined that, recognising the impor:- of the results of actuarial investigation required by law, they would adjust their income and expendi- ture. In the aggregate, the growth of the aoatttes iv&s considered very gratifying, but the Council thought it would be more satisfactory if the augmenta. tions of the accumulated funds were more nearly eriual to the increase of the liabilities of the organisa- tions. The number of members of the Central Asso. ciation in Lancashire and Cheshire in 1889 was 44,626, as compared with 3184(iin 1S79 Nurth Wales 11,540, as f gainst 6,302 in 1879. The number of members of miners' permanent societies who had entered into mutual arrangements with their employers in view of the Employers' Liabilities Act, 1880, was in Lanca- shire and Cheshire 40,366, as against 4 260 who had not. In North Wales 11,540—being the whole of the members—had entered into arrangements. The report having been adopted, The Secretary eubmitted a report, prepared at the request of the Council, as to the Hartley Fund (1862), its administration and surplus, after which Mr F. S. Powell moved ihat the resolution of the Manchester conference be and is hereby affirmed that the Committee of the Hartley Fund be again respectfully urged to maintain the surplus intact, and obtain powers to appropriate the interest to large accident?, and that the committees of other surpluses be strongly recommended to follow the same course." Mr N. R. Griffith eeconded the resolution. He thought they would be carrying out the objects of th., subscribers to this fund if they resolved to devote it to the relief of mining distress. The disposal of the previous surplus appeared to him to have been most wise by alloting the money to the different districts to be used for the fouudation of Permanent Relief Sccieties. He believed it was the money alloted to them from this fund which enabled them to launch their Society, which for the last twelve or thirteen years had done an immense amount of good, but they had now reached a ditferent aspect of the question. The Societies had now been formed, they wete able to deal with the ordinary calls upon thsw, but the one great danger which they all feared was that a large calamity wculd occur which might practically swamp their funds. (Hear, hear.) He thought that it appeared a matter of commonsense that the wishes of the ordinary sub- scribers to the fund would be best carried out by appropriating the surplus to meet, as far as possible, the exigencies of great calamities. He therefore thought the capital should be kept intact, and the interest given to permanent societies to meet the calls that might come upon them through any large calamity. Mr Hall, H.M. Inspector of Mines, supported the principle of maintaining the fund intact. After some further discussion, the resolution was adopted unanimously. Mr Campbell, in another paper, roughly defined a great" accident as numbering 100 deaths, and it was stated that the tixing of the commencement of the accidents to which it referred at 1862 was because that was the year in which the first miners' permanent fund was established. This was mainly because of the terrible Hartley accident which emphasised the anomaly whereby dependent relatives of sufferers by large accidents were provided for by subscription, while those whose breadwinners were lost one by one get no help. Since 1862 there had been twelve great disasters, causing in the aggregate 2.2?3 deaths, and the public subscriptions raised in connection with them amounted to £ 402,022. Large as this total appeared it must bear a comparatively small proportion to the aggregate amount that had been raised since 1862 for the purpose of meeting the distress which followed mining accidents. Mr Campbell set out the details of the accidents, the Bcales of relief, the existing balances, and the proposal to deal with the surpluses, and said that hie object in this collection of facts waa to guide commr.t;ts having charge of future public funds. Colonel Blundell moved a resolution expressing gratification at the endeavours which were being made throughout the country to promote the systematic contribution of mineral landlords to miners' perma- nent societies, and expressing the hope that the owners of mines would iiberally respond to the appeals now being made to them. He said every one wno had the misfortune to see a great colliery disaster must feel the extreme advantage of assistance that could be rendered piomptly to the famiiies of miners who had been killed. He had had the misfortune of seeing such a disaster at one of his own mines, and he saw how promptly relief was given by Mr Campbell. From that moment he formed the strongest opinion that these societies must be supported to the utmost. (Applause.) He thought the reason why lessors had not contributed to the funds was that they had never been asked. He was sure that the mineral landlords would subscribe if they were asked. (Applause.) It always appeared to him that there was a flaw in their mode of insurance, If a miner dropped dead some distance from the mine he was not entitled to relief. He should like to see that flaw put riibt. If they could get the mineral landlords to contribute, he be. lieved these societies would be put upon a firmer basis than they had hitherto been. Mr W. F. Butler seconded the motion. He thought that when they approached the lessors on the subject they must rememher that, however great their moral claim might be, they bad no legal claim. He felt sure that if the lessors were acquainted with the great good done by the societies they would willingly eubscribe. (Hear, hear.) The Duke of Westminster had taken deep interest in this question in North Wales, and be had promised to subscribe in a definite and regular eum-proportional on the mine rents he received. (Applause.) In North WAles they would. he believed, be successful in getting almost all the mineral owners to follow the plan of paying an amount equal to one-half of the lessee's subscription. (Hear, hear.) Mr Tomlinson suppoitcd the resolution, which was agreed to. Mr Wm. Watson, secretary of the West Riding of Yorkshire Society, read a paper on the re-insurance of the risks cf miners' permanent societies, in which he stated that the recent disasters at Llanerch and Morfa had drawn peculiar attention to the desirableness of spreading as widely as possible the risks attendant upon large accidents. The Yorkshire Society had passed a resolution stating that the time had now arrived when a federation should be formed to carry out the principle of re-ineurance. Mr Watson now suggested that the conference should re-affirm the desirableness of federating all the societies willing to join together for re-assurance purposes, and should instruct the Council of the Central Association to obtain a further actuarial repot t bringing down the date to the end of last year. It was further suggested that the recom- mendation for obtaining a toyal charter should be carried into effect. A paper on the subject of relief societies in France and Belgium based upon recent inquiries instituted by the French Government, was taken as read, the secretary undertaking that its chief points should appear in the annual volume of transactions of the association.

FARMING AND THE CORN TRADE.
FARMING AND THE CORN TRADE. The Mark Lane Express of Monday says:- Fmectations of an over average crop of wheat have now completely disappeared. Perhaps the best current opinion is that where at the end of May a yield of 5 per cent. over the average was promised, n?w at the end of July » yield of 5 per cent. under Sewerage is likely. Barley. 0?. and beans have suffered less than wheat, but the yield of fine quality barley is not expected to be large. The exhaustion of the English wheat crop of 1889 is so patent at all the markets that fancy rates are now quoted for good samples-38g to 42s for heavy white. and 32-1 to 383 for red. Imperial average is 35s, as compared with 30s in the last week of July. 1889. The trade in foreign wheat has been kept from advancing by the heavy imports. The week's markets showed a strong natural upward tendency. The spring corn trade has been firm. Barley has advanced 3d per quarter. Oats were rather against buyers. Maize has been in large supply, but, owing to the combined retail and speculative demand. Id per cental adtance was obtained at the northern market-, including Liverpool, and 3d per quarter improvement at the southern markets, including London.

WHAT WE SEE AND-I HEAR.
WHAT WE SEE AND -I HEAR. SICKKESS AMONGST CHILDREN. The amount of sickness which prevails among the children in this district is really astounding, and the more Berioua, because to ordinary obaervers it is wholly unnoticed. In fact you will have to attend a police court to know of its existence, and then you cannot be convinced of the fact. The other day I saw three children robbing a garden, and naturally thought that a policeman and an ash plant would have done them good. Never did I make a greater mistake. It was a doctor they wanted, and a bottle or two of medicine for, on the very next Monday, the parents of those children told the justices that they were ill, each of them. too ill to go to school, and that they had been ailing since they came of school age. Yes, sir. it is wonderful how prevalent that eort of sickness is, and those three lade in the garden eat- ing gooseberries bcoauea they could bib no physic Well, you can imagine how ill they were. MR BANKES AND HIS CRITIC. Mr Bankes did not preside at the Magistrates meeting on Monday. If he had, he would have had his triumph over his critic of a couple of months ago. He was then blamed because he sent one of the Rev. D. Davies of Buckley's converts to gaol without the option of a fine. The same defendant was before the Bench on Monday, and was again convicted of drunkenness. This time the Bench did not sentence him to imprisonment, but they imposed a fine which was paid. He will therefore not forfeit the inestimable blessing of Mr Davies' benign influence. That gentleman will have something else to do than to tell the world how much better he knows human nature than other people, and let us hope, that his subject may this time be his letter of recommendation. In that oaBe no one will rejoice more than myself, and Mr Bankcs will be the last to grieve. SUKDAY AT PENTRE. There was a curious sight at Pentre the other night,—a Sunday night tjo by the by-when two men were found Tying dead drunk on the high- way, one close to the house whence they had their whisky, and the second on the other side of the way. Both were taken to the police station in a hand cart, and when the effects of the whisky had evaporated, lam informed that they told their friends how they got it. They went to a public house, spoke with the landlord's father, then betook themselves to a field where they sat down. The landlord's father then carried them the drink, and they drank at it all the afternoon till they got into the fctate in which they wero found. There was a clear evasion of the law, though I hope there may be means of bringing the law home to these people. But there is a part of the tale untold, and a very serious one too. Not many months ago. the local justices refused the renewal of the licence of this very house on the ground that it was not required. The case was then taken on appeal to the Quarter Sessions, where there were on the bench jubticea interested iu public-houses, who reversed the decision of the local justices and renewed the licence. The tale is not all told even yet. When the applicant for the licence appeared before the justices, the police opposed him on the ground that he was not a fit person to keep a house, and the owner of the house next brought forward the son of the first applicant, and prevailed upon the bench to grant the application, notwithstanding the opposition of the police. We now see the result. The man to w hom the licence was refused was the one who supplied these two men with the whisky. In all probability the case will receive the attention 01 the next Standing Joint Committee. THE CENSUS. The Goleuad, is much exeroised in its mind this week leat the "fops" and the "snobs" should deny their knowledge of Welsh at the next census. If there are such in Wales in these days of national awakening, is it not better that they should be numbered with the English? Why shouldwedeplore their loss ? But, is there not a great deal of fudge and of cant amongst the young Walea party ? and more especially in the hysterical ravings with which the readers of that journal are so familiar ? KAMBLER.
i MR OSBORNE MORGAN ON HELIGO…
MR OSBORNE MORGAN ON HELIGO LAND. On Friday in the debate on the Anglo-German Agreement Bill, Mr Osborne Morgan contended that the arguments of the leader of the Opposition on the constitutional question had been wholly unanswered. He could not hslp asking himself what would have been said if this agreement had been brought in by a Liberal Government, and he was therefore thankful that the agreement such as it was had been brought in by a Conservative Government. There seemed to him to be something high-handed in two great Powers sitting down and dividing between them territories as large as those of three first-class European States, to which they really bad no more right than he had to the first umbrella or coat he saw in the cloakroom. (Opposition cheers.) The question resolved itself into this: Is Heligoland worth exchanging aa against Zanzibar ? He hoped the cession had been made with the full approval of the Heligolanders. While not expressing any opinion of his own. Sir Andrew Clarke had told him that Heligoland was of great value to England as a military acquisition, and he should have thought that the Power which held the sea would be the Power to hold Heligoland. Germany had for years and years been casting longing eyea on the island, and the question was whether we had got value for our money. On both sides of the house there was very stroniz doubt on that subject. Were we sure we had got Zanzibar—not merely the island, but the coast. He would be only too glad to learn that this treaty would enable us to get rid of the burning question of Zanzibar. There was no country with which it was more desirable we should be on friendly terms than France, and he would be glad to be assured that the effect of this treaty would be to settle the open questions between England and France. He had not that assuarance, and he was consequently unable to vote for the Bill.

The wheati that were laid over a large area do net respond ti tbe ine weather very rapidly, and they rise very tardily.

Most of the country market., ire up 6d to Is on the beat samples, and the official average price for the kingdom is raised Is 2d per or. Mark-lane to- day was almost bare of English, better prices beini; obtain- able in the country than here.
