WELSH NATIONAL MUSEUM, The Proposed Loca!e. Rog,-ircling the efforts now being made to secure tnat the Wetsh National Museum sha.)I bt- estab- lished at Cardiff, and the purchase of a a)te in Uathays Park, there seems to be a good dea! of mtsxpprehensioH and misunderstanding existing. We. therefore, give a brief statement of the actual facts and tha position itr which the :natter now &tanda. The need for new buildings for the Cardiff Museum is so pressing that the museum committee have been for some time on the !ook outfora.Ruita.Me stte. Tho museum committee are tenants of the free library committee at present, and the rooms in which the collections are displayed are so sma!) tha.t thoy have aM got overcrowded, the rps111t being that in some cnses the objects are not placed as they should be, w!):!i-t in others no space exists for future additions. The accomntoda.tion, inadequate as it is now, will be further.curtaHed when Working- street is widened after the co[up!otion of the new library bnildin, 15 feet being taken off the nattu'a.! history-room, thus ucce..¡¡tating the rentova} ehëwh>:jre of nno of the Jai-ge ciise. Besides, thovent!)ationi.s bad,thetefnperatnre bf,itig {rcm 100 to 107 !ast summer in the picture g,,tllery, a ht'at .suScient to damage any oil paint. ing, and the risk from the is gre-,it. Apart fron the inconvpcience already experienced, there is absolntely NOT A SQUARE TABD IN WHICH TO SHOW PICTURES I all(.'t cages which could bs got from South Ken. s!ng'ton, as is done in other ]forge towns, the con- sequence beiog tlillt uoue are brought nor are toan exhibitions of pictures owned by ioea! gentle. men ever attempted just for the same reason. J)n n gri)winer town like Cai-rliff there to be n. hu'ge p.'rma.aeut col!ection fHmf.rat.'ve of local is, conststing of the i'&w materials usad in manufactures :\1\Ù tho products of the indnstries of Oard:{? n.nd South \ViI,]e". If thpro were room thHrecon!d bearrt\nged b:enn!:t!or yearly exl,iil,it,iotis of piett-,res, It wiil be readily g¡l.thpl'ed from what we ha.ve said that the present buiJding, though suitabie in 1882, when it was e'-ected. and v/h(-n the collections were small, is now utterly !nsn6!cient. In mkiag up the ques- tion of a new site tho comnntteo wpre actuated by tha desire to find one which would he suitable not on!y for the Cn.rd!S MuM-u))), bucforthe a.)so, :tnd usuh- oo!nf'):ttec, cotisistiug of Councit[or F.

I'H go and look," she answered. Steppinj quietly into the kitchen the gir! pushed the cloci hands back an hour, and returning, said. "It\ only haif-past nine by our clock, you can st&y at hour longer." So John stayed, for lovers are never eager h. part, and he needed no coaxing. The nexi morning, however, he over,,Iept himself, an4 father, at his breakfast, having missed the tram ho mtended to journey by that day. wondered how the good old clock could have !oa an hour in the night.

And if she felt M she looked she was to all practical poses ten years youner. For, although <. e!ock face looks the same no matter what time it i", a. human face doesn't. That changes with the condition of the works or the life behind it. The letter goes on thus: In the sprmg of 1880 I felt weak and low. I had a. bad taste i)t the mouth a.nd a, thick shmy ph!egm covered my mouth and tongue. I was sick in a morning retching a.nd vomiting a watery fluid. I had great pain in the hetd and was very mazy, being at tim<s so bad I cou!d hK.rd!y stand upon my feet. After enting the 5ic!p!esb food I had I cheadfnl pain in my chest, and a- tightness across the chest a.nd sides. For hours together I have sat before tha fire rubbing my chest to try and get relief. I had grpa.t pain in the left sfde and palpitation of the he.rt, and could get but littit sleep at n!ght en account of it. I Gradually I grew weaker and weaker unti! I could sc-u-ce!y v.'a.]k about the house, and but for the necessity of attcndtng to my family, should have been laid up. My life was a bar. don and a misery to me, and I often wished mysoU dead. Sometrmes better and at other times worse this waa my general condition for ten yeara during which !oHg period of suSering I wa< treated by the doctor, and took every kind oi medicine I could hoar teH of, but got no better. In November, 1393, I read in a book of < medicine called Mother Seigol's Curative SyrupL and got a bottle from Mr E. Banks, the chemist. After I had taken a. few doses I found my food agreed with me better. I kept on with the Syruc and -,radrally gained strength. I had become so thin and emaciated through all those years of suffering tha it took t)me to futiy restore nta. But Z etM now Mt lictec?- health than 7' erer MMa M My life, and my recovery has astonished mj friends. They te!1 me I look ten years youngel 1 than I did for taking the Syrup.
