MID-RUONDDA CHAMBER OF TRA…
MID-RUONDDA CHAMBER OF TRA DE Mr. D. Hughes, speaking on the ques- tion of a Tradesmen's and Professional Men's Institute, said for such a tremen- dous centre, Tonypandy was absolutely unique in one respect. It was a town without being called a town its popu- lation was larger than that of many municipal towns in the kingdom, yet it had 110 proper accommodation for busi- ness and professional men. The district was suffering from a lack of that accom- modation. The room in which the Cham- ber met was utterly inadequate for the number present, and that in itself should be sufficient to convince them. If they could in any way improve the conditions, it was their duty to do so. He promised that the Chamber of Trade go into the matter in order to find out if there would be sufficient support in the district to make the scheme a feasible project. Mr. D. M. Williams moved an amend- ment that the question be deferred for the time being. Several members spoke in support of the amendment, and finally the question was deferred until the next meeting, -??-

THE SWISS GUARD.
THE SWISS GUARD. The Pope's bodyguard are called ,!Ie Swiss Guard," beoause they were originall." natives oi Switzerland. The guard came into being in the reign of Pope Julius II., who asked his friend Peter von Hertenstein, Canon of Lucerne Cathedral, to send him 200 Swiss men-at-arms tc proteot his person. The Assembly at Zurich oonsented to the enlistment of the men. and in January, 1506, the guard, commanded by a young nobleman, Caspar von Silinen, entered the Eternal City. In the 400 years of its exist- ence the guard has made an honourable record. They fought well when fighting was necessary, but of late deadly weapons have been laid aside and the function of the body now is to act as a guard of honour to the Pope. The verger 01 beadle of a church is called a suisse in France.
CONSTANTLY REPLENISHED. ]
CONSTANTLY REPLENISHED. When the fangs of a poisonous snake are re- moved new fangs grow quickly in their place. At the back of each fang—serpents have two special teeth, or fangs—are smaller ones varying in size, but all growing steadily, and awaiting their turn to take the place of the previous one. Every six or eight weeks a full grown fang is shed; but not until the one immediately behind it is connected with the poison gland and ready for work does the old one drop out.
WHERE WILLIAM III. LANDED.…
WHERE WILLIAM III. LANDED. A strange lamp-post is built on the very stone on which William of Orange landed at Brixham, and much interest attaches to this quaint memo- rial, inasmuch as if King William had. not arrived Britain might never have been ruled by King George. It is said that the Prince of Orange in very broken English addressed the in- habitants of Brixham as follows: "Mine goot people, I mean you goot. I am come Itere for your goot, for all your goots"—a statement which was afterwards fulfilled to the letter. Naturally, the stone is much honoured by the people of Brixham, and the little fishing village is proud of the important part it played iti such a distinguished period in the history of the realm. The place is full of William relics and memories. ————— —————
DIFFERENT COLOURED SEAUI.
DIFFERENT COLOURED SEAUI. The different important State documents are sealed with different varieties of wax, according to the office from which they emanate. For in- stance, the wax used for the Great Seal of Eng- land is whitish in colour, and is compounded of oils and balsams from a recipe kept. in the Lord Chancellor's office. The wax of the Great Seal and Privy Seai of Scotland is a compound of resin and beeswax, coloured with vermilion, which is a bright red sulphide of mercury. The Exchequer Seal is made of green wax. and is considerably softer than ordinary sealing-wax. J
AuTOGRAfHB THAT FETCH
AuTOGRAfHB THAT FETCH One thousand pounds was paid by the late Mr. Rernard Quarritch for an autograph letter of Columbus, which he afterwards exhibited at the WorJd's Fair in Chicago. A wealthy collector of autographs in Chicago offered through the American Press to pay 220,000 for a genuine autograph letter of Shakespeare. Only seven are known to be in existence, and as to three doubts have been expressed about their genuineness. Two letters of Mary Queen of Scots, written just before her execution, are said to have cost a col- lector 24,000. The one lettc existing in Titian's handwriting was sold for JB120. and a letter of Raphael's for £ 60.
WHERE WIVES CAN BE BOUGHT.…
WHERE WIVES CAN BE BOUGHT. Wives are still obtained by purchase in some parts of Russia. In the district of Kamyshin, on the Volga, for example, this is practically the only way in which marriages are brought about. The price of a pretty girl from a well-to-do family ranges from JB20 to 240, and in special cases a much higher sum is obtained. In the vil- ]ages the lowest price is about E5. It is custom- ary for the fathers of the intending bride and bridegroom to haggle for a long time over the price to be paid for the lady. A young farmer whose father cannot afford to pay for a wife for him need not think of getting married.

( TH. CORONATION BANQUIT.
TH. CORONATION BANQUIT. Nowadays a Coronation, gorgeous and spied did as it undoubtedly remains, is shorn of mor than half of its picturesque character. From tb. days of Richard down to the Coronation of Kini George V. the ceremony in the Abbey was fol lowed by the banquet in Westminster HaD George IV., who had no little leaning toward personal magnificence, ran up a bill of nearl: £300,000 for his Coronation, which in splendou and extravagance far surpassed all previous oere monies. There was no little grumbling when tha bill needed to be liquidated, and when ten yean later came the turn of William IV. he very wiseI: dispensed with the banquet, and so reduced th. oost to between E30,000 and £ 40,000. Queen Vio toria, King Edward VII., and King George V have all followed that example, and now in al probability the dispensation has become orustec into precedent and the Coronation Banquet wil never again take place. ————— ————.

WHXBB THBHAT IS ALL-IMPORTAHT.
WHXBB THBHAT IS ALL-IMPORTAHT. Great is the pride of the Mexican in his hat, or sombrero. No matter how poor the rest of his attire may be he spares no expense for his head-covering, and will work long and patiently to earn enough money to purchase a sugar-loaf, wide-brimmed, heavily-corded hat. A shabbily- dressed Mexican wearing a hat that cost several pounds is not an uncommon sight. It is said that the main reason why the Mexican devotes so much attention and money to his hat is because it has become the symbol of his standing in the community. The grandees of Spain had the privilege of standing covered in the presence of their Sovereign, and naturally they vied with one another in the gorgeousness of their hats. The populace followed this example as best it oould, and so the hat became as distinctive on the heads of the men as the mantilla over the heads of the women.

PAPEH Faoti ANTTHING. Paper can be manufactured out of almost any- thing that can be pounded into pulp. Over fifty kinds of bark are said to be used, also banana- skins, bean-stalks, pea-stalks, cocoanut fibre, straw, sea and fresh-water weeds; and many kinds of grass are all applicable. It has also been made from hair, fur, wool, and from asbestos, which furnishes an article indestructible by fire. Leaves make a good strong paper, while the busks and stems of Indian corn have been tried.
AN ENORMOUS KITCHEN.
AN ENORMOUS KITCHEN. What is said to be the largest kitchen in Eng- land is that of Raby Castle, situated in the county of Durham. It is described as having three chimneys—one for the grate, a second for the stoves, and the third. ior a great cauldron. The roof is arched, with a small cupola in the centre. It has five windows, from each of which steps descend but only in one instance to the floor, and a gallery runs round the whole interior of the building. The ancient oven has a diameter of 15ft. Vast as this kitchen is, it must have been sometimes taxed by the hospitality of former ages. In one of the apartments of the castle 700 knights were entertained at the same time.
WHY MAN IS MORTAL.I
WHY MAN IS MORTAL. There is a strange tradition in vogue among the Bachilange tribe, in the Congo. The tradi- tion is to the effect that God one day said to the sun; "Here is a gourd of Malafou; place it on the earth (and indicated the west), but if you wish to be immortal drink not from what I have confided to thee." God spoke to the moon in the same way. The sun and the moon obeyed their instructions. At length man appealed to God to make a journey from east to west, and received permission. He set out, accompanied by his dog. The dog raised up an evil spirit, and the man drank from the gourd before he finished his journey. Immediately the firmament darkened like the skin of a black man, and God was angry and said: You shall not live for ever," and the dog was driven out of the country of the Bachi- lange, and the people drank no more from the eourd of Malafou.
I ! WORDS OF WISDOM. !
I WORDS OF WISDOM. No man is poor who does not think himself we.. It is by overcoming that we learn to oversom*. Talen i, uses opportunities: genius makes then. A man's conscience should at all times be his master.—JOHN KELLY. He walks surely who walks rightwimly.- SPURCEON. I Words without deeds are very like smoke without fire. There's nothing in or out o' the world, good, except truth. To every dark side of life there will always be a bright one. Our words yet live on other's lips; our thoughts actuate others. Those with the most advantages usually make the least of them. Have more religion in your heart than you carry in your head. The height of glory is one's self to sink and rise to other's help. That best portion of a good mam's life are iis little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and of love.—WORDSWORTH. J Lay the sure foundations deep, Strongly lay them, lay them true, Lo, there rise, when ye shall sleep. Builders building after you.—J.H.SERINE. An imperturbable demeanour comes from per- fect patience, wrote R. L. Stevenson. Quiet minds cannot be perplexed or frightened, but go on in fortune or misfortune at their own private pace, like a clock during a thunderstorm. The person who does not give is poor—poor in the best riches of life. Every gift we make enriches our existence. Every gift, also, has its due proportion of return. If we give money, we are enriched a little; if we give ourselves, we are enriched in larger measure. A little thought will show you how vastly your own happiness depends on the way other people bear themselves toward you. Turn the ,b er that just so muc h idea around, and remember that just so much are vou adding to the pleasure or the misery of other people's days.-GEORGB S. MERRIAM. Man ise not changed by whitewashing or gild. ing his habitation; a people cannot be regene- rated by teaching them the worship of enjoy- ment they cannot be taught a spirit of sacrifios by speaking to them of material rewards.— MAZZINI. Let no man think that sudden, in a minute, All is accomplished, and the work is done; Though with thine earliest dawn thou shouldst begin it, Scarce were it ended in thy setting sun. -P. W. MYBBS. Those who are by day quietly setting aside their own pleasure for the sake of some other person cannot fail to grow in nobleness. Self- denial for the sake of others lifts us above our- selves and links the soul with the forces of a. higher world whiohoonspire to strengthen and enrich it. THE MTSTEKT Or TACT. I Many frankly admit that they are not very taetful who would not be so ready to admit that they are very selfish. But it has been said with searching truthfulness that Want of taet is at the bottom selfishness, for self thinks and acts only for itself." No one whoae supreme purpose and interest in life is to live for others oan long be tactless. For tactlessness is simply the failure to think sufficiently about others to enable us to touch them in a helpful way, a considerate way, a sympathetic way And the person who will not take the time and trouble necessary to this thoughtfulness is selfish, and therefore tactless. The next time we find that we have been laeking in tact, let us ask ourselves what partieular piece of selfishness caused the failure. BUIT. Nothing is easier to form than a habit. The first action breaks «, path through an untrodden wilderness, the next widens it, the third makes a trodden highway. When a young man or girl drops into slang for fun, or, still worse, user, a word which borders on profanity, there is a feel- ing of reooil the first time. But habit removes restraint, and presently the unfortunate or im- proper mode of speech is used without conscious protest. To b-impor- tant as to form a good one, I CHARITY IN COXVEBSATIOK. Charity is the most neoessary, yet perhaps the rarest, virtue in conversation—charity in speech, in looks, even in silenoe, charity in insinuations, judgments, appreciation of others, hints, and retioence. It is, of course, often allowable, and even sometimes necessary, to speak of your neighbour's faults, in eertain circumstances which prudence will point out; but then it must be always done with moderation and right feel- ing, avoiding bitterness and everj sentiment bor- dering on hate. I TRUTH. Truth is eaored. When onee we oome faoe to face with that which our eouls recognise to be a truth, we should not turn aside, or pass it by, or flee from it, but should take it into our very lives to be our master and ,guide. The world has little to hope for from the man who is not honest with truth-whether that truth be & prob- lem in arithmetic or a duty of the soul. I A NAME—AND A MAN. Just so long ago you were endowed with a name, new coined and bright, with the privilege of placing it untarnished upon a golden seal of honour and truth, or, soiled with dishonour and unrighteousness. Now you have entered a field of enterprise, » test, where the merits and flaws of the vessel will be discovered. The results will in time be im- printed upon the seal where the world can see and believe. The name will be passed from mouth to mouth and your charaeter will be known. This is altogether fitting and just. Even in the smaller circle of friends that name is honoured or scorned on life's programme as the rnhn is found to be worthy or unworthy. The vessel will be elevated and placed in the sight of the multitude as their masterpieee or hidden low adown with their conception of failures and dis- appointments. Guard well .tour speech, thoughts, actions. Live up to thf. ideals and your oonception of the right for the ooul that dwells in vou. Some day the vessel shall be subjected to a higher criticism than this world, and the jewels of your gO/xi intents will shine forth in the light of greater Arisdom and understanding. Some fine points m&y be discovered in the vessel now ignorantiy concealed, and they will be plaeed on record with your unforgotten benefits to man. Then t'here may glow forth upon the higher seal o( the soul's liandiwork-a name. I A WORD TO BOTE. Boys, did you ever think that this world, with all its wealth and woe; with all its millions of grouping men, and all the science and progress of ages, will soon be given over to boys of the present age—boys like you?

Gilfach Goch as a Garden City.
Gilfach Goch as a Garden City. Pithead Baths- Cambrian Combine's intentions. We glean from the columns of that aggressive Liberal organ, the "Daily News and Leader," of December 5t)) some particularly interesting statements regarding the future of Gilfach Goch. It. stvtes: "The opening M?emony will shortly take place of developing a new and im- portant mining centre on garden city principles. The Britannic Pits at Gilfach Goch—an uninviting and somewhat in- accessible district midway between the Rhondda Valley and Llantrisant—were acquired some time ago by the Cambrian Combine. Extensive sinking operations are in progress, and the coal output, now at the rate of. ^about 200,000 tons per annum, is (mpectvo, to. urease to over a million tons within the next few years. "The latter output per annum would afford regular employment for about 4,000 workmen. Plans have been pre- pared and submitted to the Local Govern- ment Board, and it is the intention of the company to lay out the district, as far as practicable, on garden city lines, with a recreation ground. institute, and other facilities. The scheme will involve ana outlay of considerably over £ 100.000, and will be the first of its kind in the South Wales coalfield. Mr. D. A. Thomas is devoting much personal attention to the undertaking, and at the inaugural ceremony he will fully state the inten- tions of the company. I PITHEAD BATHS. I The view is held in many quarters in the coalfield, amongst the employers and workmen alike, that the Gilfach Goch scheme presents a favourable opportunity for the practical demonstration jof pit- head baths and ^'other conveniences. The Coal Mines Act, which came into opera- tion in July last, provides that employers and workmen may co-operate, on the strength of a ballot majority of two- thirds of the men, in the provision of facilities for taking baths and drying clothes at their joint expense, limited to l}d. per week per workman. Of the 500 to 550 pits now at work in the South Wales coalfield, only about 70 employ more than 1,000 men per pit. If 750 be taken as the average, the cost would work out at approximately L-I)o per pit per annum, or, averaging four at the number of pits under the control of each company, at £l,{)()(;' a year. On the output per ton this would represent an almost infinitesimal charge. "The pithead baths clause in the Coal M ines Act does not make it clear whether or not it is intended that the men should keep their working-clothes at the pit- heads, and le-ave and return to their homes in ordinary clothes. The point is an important one, and an effort should be made to get it cleared up. The clause may be interpreted to mean that the men should leave their pit clothes behind, and that, after bathing, they should put on their 'second bests.' SMALL COST. As there is some doubt in the mat- ter, however, it is felt that in the development of Gilfach Goch on modern hygienic lines the pithead baths clause in the Coal Mines Act should be sympa- thetically and liberally interpreted and facilities placed at the disposal of the men whereby their working-clothes may be always kept at the pits. "The cost of erecting storage room for this purpose would be very sin all. The employers stand to gain as much as the knen by the provision of the most favour- able working conditions, ana the reform indicated would be joyously welcomed by the miners' wives, whose domestic bur- dens are seriously increased by the drying and washing of the pit clothes. Will Gilfiich Goch lead the way in this reform, and so lighten the burden of the women folk and increase the amenities of mining life? It is interesting to note that in con- nection with the development of the Bri- tannic Pits the Cambrian Combine are maturing a scheme under which they pro- pose to offer the workmen, td what are claimed to be most reasonable terms, £ 20,000 preference shares. FEDERATION ATTITUDE. "The property has been acquired under circumstances which will probably make it one of the most remunerative in the coalfield, and no doubt is entertained that the shares tot be offered to the men. and which may be purchased on the instal- ment system, will yield a dividend from the first year. The Miners' Federation Kave practically declared against the principle of co-partnership and in favour of the nationalisation: of the mines, and one must wait and see Avhether this atti- tude will affect the Gilfach Goch co- partnership proposal. Apart, however, from the questions of co-partnership, the garden city plans to be carried out in this practically new dis- trict afford a gratifying opportunity for the development of a model mining centre, and who, knows but that it might be the beginning of a new housing era not only in the South Wales coalfield. but also in the coalfields of England and Scotland.
