Gathered from Gwalia GOSSIP AND CHATTER OF WALES AND WELSHMEN, A Column of Notes and News of Persons and Places of Interest and Instruction for Old and Young. The prizes at Llandovery College will he given awav this year by Principal lUiys, of JesiLs College. The Hon. Lady (Vwell St^pn^yV firrl dance will take pla«< at her London residence oil Fri- day, the 3Lt inst. Miss Itou.s C\M-t-y-rala. is now enabled to leave her room, although suffering from veak- l'.e^s after her severe illness. It is now certain that the ivport of the Welsh Land I'oinmission will not. under the ma«t favourable eireunistancvs, be ready before August next. There is nothing like keeping up appear- ances. The ioeonw of the Cardiff Libera] Association is rapidly diminishing, and Mr. R. X. Hall, the agent, is moving into more expensive offices. Mr. and Mrs. John Cory and Miss Cory have arrived at 4. Park-orescent. Portland- place, London, and Mr. and Mrs. F. Lort Phillips have returned to 79, Cadogan-tquare, from Soinaliland. Fishing in the Teifi seems to be improving. Besides large baskets of trout taken daily. two tine salmon were grasped on Wednesday at Llandyssul. weighing 181 h. and 231b.. the former by Mr. J. Shaw and the latter by Mr. D. Evans, Forth Hotel. It luw been noticed tliit Iabez Balfour bears t'ueh a remarkable resemblance to Mori n that the Ari-hdruid is uneasy about it. Morien," however, makes no pretence of being a great financier, although he owns two or three mountains, with all their minerals, up the hills. One of the novel, but pleasant, movements in Cardiff is a flower mission. The promoters have been enabled to distribute about 5,000 bouquets to the inmates of the workhouse a.nd Hamadryad hospitals and the town infir- mary. The headquarters of the mission are at 27, Charles-street. Several friends of Councillor Waring who know that he had spent a merry, if a short, time in London on Cardiff Corporation business last yea.r want to know why his name does not appear among those who have been credited with expenses. Mr. Waring, with his usual modesty, has not sent in his bill. The little tiffs of Welsh members must not be taken too seriously, for now it is stated that Mr. Lloyd-George and Mr. D. A. Thomas have made up their differences once more, and that the member for Mer- thyr will second one of Mr. George's amend- ments to the Disestablishment Bill. Nest week the talking women of Liberal England and Wales will visit London. and one of the "functions" will be a Welsh luncheon to the delegates at the Paddington Hotel. Another "function" that v.-ill cause the female heart to flutter will be a, recep- tion given by Mrs. £ ryumor Jcmee. The a nut about tim Pnnm of Waim flU4 tu ehatoeElaiabip aI tb& Wefcfe, XXntana# was well kept. All who bad been tsdd woo bound in the strongest shackles of holy secrecy. and it came as a thunderclap upon them to find the information in the "Western Mail" on the morning of the meeting of the Court. Sir Edward Reed can still meet one class of people who never bother him about freedom of boroughs and Radical candidatures, and these are the Japs. Sir Edward presided over a meeting of the Japan Society in Lon- don on Thursday, and his friends Mr. Riu Tayui and Dr. Okamura were with him. A paper was read on Japanese shipping. We have not been told all the good thinyp said and done at the recent Liberationist meet- ing in London. Sir Wilfrid Lawson, who always shows a kindly feeling for the Prime Minister, praised the Cardiff speech, amid loud applause, and quoted the remark of "Mabon":—"We'll make Lord Rosebery a Methodist preacher before we've done with him." There are altogether five or six Welshmen on the London County Council. One of the best known of them is Mr. Howel Idris, who was at one time the Liberal candidate for the Denbigh Boroughs. Mr. Idris has been asked to contest an English seat at the next general election, and his hesitation about accepting the offer arises out of his desire to serve Wales in Parliament. The registrar for the Welsh University has a delicate task to keep rival Welsh towns at peace. They all want him as a resident, and woe be to him if he leans to one more than another. So far as the towns are concerned, the crisis has been elbowed off by the decision of the University Court to consider the matter in a year, but what is to become of the regis- trar in the meantime? Will he be hung to the moon? The East civilised the West, and now the West is taking a turn at civilising the East. The home of the Eisteddfod is Wales, but the influence of the bards is rapidly spreading over England. On Thursday "an eisteddfod and industrial exhibition was onened in Eccles in order to encourage habits of industry amongst the young people, and also to stimu- late their musical and literary faculties by the introduction of some of the features of the popular Welsh Eisteddfod." Welshmen are doing extremely well in India. Sir Griffith Evans is at the head or the Indian Bar, and his brother, Mr. Lewis Pugh-Pugh, of Abarmaed, is also rapidly achieving a front- rank position for himself as an advocate. In the Civil Service there are several Welshmen who are looked upon as "rising" men. One of them is Mr. J. Lewis Jenkins, the son of the late Mr. James Jenkins, of Llangadoc-k, and a brother to Miss Jenkins, the "prophetess" of Cymru Fydd. Mr. Jenkins is at present on a short visit to this country. A Baptist preacher was recently officiating in a Cardiganshire chapel where the eongregu- tion was largely made up of seafaring men. A figure used by the preacher related to a captain at his wits' end when navigating his ship through a narrow, shallow, winding channel, abounding with rocks and strong currents. The faces of seme of the listeners were perfect pic- tures as the preacher eloquently described the details and difficulties of the voyage. The ship ran against a bank, and in a thrilling burst the preacher shouted, What shall we do?" God knows," cried an old sailor, for you are going otarn foremost!"

A MYSTERIOUS REPORT. SUPPOSED DESIGNS ON THE HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT. A report obtained some currency on Friday night that the authorities at Scotland Ya.rd had deemed it n dvisable to double the detectives girding the approaches to the House of Com- mons. There wa.3 a noticeable number of hangtrs round in both the oeutral lobby and outside Palace Yard, but the Cantrip News lswm*4 a*. mq*, is proper qavtitr, that I 110 aomoiui&tiiAions indicating additional fro- cautious had reached the police at the Houses of Parliament. This, however, does not neces- sarily dispose of the matter.

CARDIFF TRADES' COUNCIL. THE PROPOSED INCREASE OF THE RECORDER'S SALARY. A special meeting of the Cardiff Trades' Council was held at the Metropole Hotel, Car- diff, on Friday evening, under the presidency of Mr. J. Jenkins.—A resolution held over from the previous meeting was ordered to be printed, regretting that Mr. Tom Taylor had resigned his position on the council, and placing on record their appreciation of his proffered assis- tance in the future —The question of the ap- pointment of an inspector of weights and measures was also discussed, and the action of the property and markets committee was severely criticised.—The following resolution was passed:—"That this council views with dissatisfaction the action taken by the property and markets committee, and strongly recom- mends the council to withdraw their advertise- ment md comply with the conditions laid down by the Act of Parliament.—The question of the proposed increase of salary to the recorder was also considered, and a resolution was passed asking the friends of economy to oppose an increase of remuneration to one who is already sufficiently well paid for his services.—It was also recommended that the names should be taken of those who voted for and against the resolution. -?

MUSICAL FESTIVAL. MEETING OF THE EXECUTIVE COUNCIL AT CARDIFF. On Friday evening the executive council of the Cardiff Triennial Musical Festival was held at the Park Hotel, Mr. H. M. Thompson pre- siding.—It was resolved to engage Madame Albani to appear on four occasions during the festival, and, in addition to the other artistes engaged, it was decided to engage the services of Mr. Lloyd Chan das if the services of an addi- tional tenor were found necessary. The musi- cal committee were also instructed to arrange, if possible, for the inclusion of a violin concerto in the programme for the miscellaneous concert, to take place on the Saturday evening, at which it was intended to ask Monsieur Johannes Wolff to take the leading pa.rt.-A discussion took place as to the appointment of a festival organist, and the council resolved that Mr. T. E. Aylward be asked to accept the post.—The engagement of the artistes being now practically complete, the secretaries were instructed to prepare a prospectus of the festival, so that it might be placed before the public at the earliest possible date. ?_

SUPPOSED POISONING. A MYSTERIOUS DEATH NEAR ST. CLEAR'S. The little village of Llanddowror, near St. Clears, has been thrown into a state of un- wonted excitement consequent on the suspi- cious circumstance? attending the death of aii old resident named Pavid Bevan, who had tuddeniv died after partaking of -nmp ll\eôi. cine, which had been prescribed by a local oheniist, the latter, it is alleged, supplying the drugs without seeing the t or getting »oy iastraetjoo# from » latdiftal IPØ- fe&ner. The jaw ware duly suaaaftped, but Mr- Joasb Davies, <j*puty eowtiw for Western Carmarthenshire, opened the inquiry at Llanddowror at four o'clock on Friday after- noon he learned that the ohemist had absented himself, and that Dr. Valentine Jones, of St. Clears, was unable to state the cause of death. A post-mortem examina- tion was, therefore, at once. ordered. Mean- while a police-sergeant was sent with a sub- poena to the chemist, who lived some two and a half miles outside the village.

3IANIPUR MASSACRE. MONUMENT TO BRITISH OFFI- CERS WHO FELL. The Central News says :—The India Office have ordered from a firm of granite merchants in Aberdeen a large monumental obelisk, to be erected at Manipur in memory of the officers who were murdered there four years ago. The monument, which will comprise 170 pieces of Aberdeenshire granite, will weigh 70 tons, and when set up will bear the following inscription The Government of India have caused this monument to be erected to mark the spot where rest the remains of the British officers who were murdered at Manipur in 1891."

An attempt was made to smuggle them into the country free of duty. ?- ?-

POLITICAL SITUATION. THE UNIONIST ACCESSION TO POWER. The "Saturday Review" predicts that the Unionists will be in power for fifteen years out of the next twenty. Beyond the next twenty years it would seem that the power of prophecy does not go.

Science of Kissing, A DISCOURSE ON THE VARIOUS MODES. The Kiss of Hospitality, of Welcoma- of Enthusiasm, of Mockery, or ? Jealousy. Kissing h:;s come in again. AMicn two ycung women who met last week in the crowded shopping district of a big city raised their veils, bent over a:id imprinted a hearty salute, lip on lip. those little, tableau declared it charming and refreshing in the ex- treme. Th". sjiectators immediately forgot all aVut the old blue la.us of etiquette against public demonstrations of iaifcetion. Now, there may not have, he n any affection lost between t he two young women, thev wero probably avdy amiable acquaintances, or, per- haps. cvn deadly rivals, but such trifling con- sicicratious as private feelings never atfuefc v-onicn following a fashion. And kissing i* a fashion again full-fledged LTKI in active prar- tice, with all its code of observances drawn in lines as hard and fast as cniveiition can make them. It u-urps the place of handshake and c; rtsey, of which, with their manifold varia- tions. society has grown deadly weary. livery wc-maii tnis spring on her daily round of tasks and pictures is apt to kiss half a score or more of her sex between sunrise and sunset. Her philosophical mind i« not liotlcrcd in tha least as to the posjsihle li poeri>v or probable dis- e;ise lurking hi this lip-to-lip greeting. In the. street or theatre, church or c^ir, drawing-re>om or liallroom, her kisess are dispensed as freely as hand clasps, and her conscience and health in no the worse for ii. "But it is not always lip-to-lip," ^Irs. Grt-ndy herself assured the reporter who was I-P1Ù to interview her as to the ceremonial of osculation, "and a. kiss may ooovey iust. the same, degree of tender affection, haughty dis- dain, joy contempt, caralt^'s indifference or rapturous welcome one would otherwise ex- press by a warm hand clasp or chilling stare. It all depends on how and where one offers or receives it, and it is ea.;y enough for a well-trained eye. to discover just the degree of interest women feel in each by the manner of bestowing this caross." The modish hostess now kis: es her gueste; of course, only tliosc of petticoat persuasion, as J K1K> receives. Younger women than herself f: bend their heads ever so littdc at entrance for the pretty salutation on the brow, a gracious condescension of age to youth, and for guests of one's own years a light kiss on the cheek, mind you the left one, is given. That is the kiss of hospitality and cquaiity. and only the most formal acquaintance does cnt fail to salute in this fashion. To draw back from the proffered kiss of a friend is to inflict a terrible wound on even the le-ss sensitive feel- ings, now that kissing is in vogue and every- one cxiopting the habit. Yet. like everything olse, kissing, remember, has its reserves and degre&s. An odd fact j5 that, fopd as "v'Oluou are of it, very few cvor offer or afik. th. greet- ing from the lips « another of tfyeir «»*. Brow,$ cbeeke, and chin they turn readily n, iP„ Øt ig lip td lip only with siaoore fmettie, «a £ ? salutation should bo executed gracefully, $Wif* and almost silently. Not quite noiseleøaly., though. When a woman meets another woman on the street they exchange smiles, the short veils are lifted ever so little, the first one's. mouth touches the second one's chin, just below the nether lip, there is a sound like a ribbon, fluttering in the breeze, not unpleasant to the musical ear, and a man possibly would COTI it only half a kiss or a fourth of a one; to the participants it was satisfactory, and made a pretty picture. They will probably criticise each other's gowns after turning opposite comers. It is easy to tell girl chums by the veil lifted very high and the two hearty salutes, fairly on the red lips. exchanged with hands en each other's shoulders, and women who are relatives by the kiss at meeting and re. peated at parting. She who drops in for f.11 afternoon tea on one she has reasons to suspect is angling for a particular young man. in whom the party of the first part feels proprietary rights, gives a deadly kiss of jealousy through her veil. The jealous kiss takes as many phases as there are varietv in the circumstances bringing rivals together. It sometimes assumes the guise of knocking your rival's hat wickedly awry with the wing of your snug little bonnet, as you pretend to touch your cheek against hers, or merely grazing her c'nin with your cold narrowed mouth, or putting your arm tight ,ahout her waist, in a hypocritical squeeze of affect-ion, and giving her three or four feather ki-sses as far away from her mouth as her cheek will permit. But the triumph of diplo- matic kissing is achieved by the women who never kiss each other at all. They drop ever so gracefully into each other s arms, and. by drawing their under lips against the upper teeth, make a little sound on the vacant air t, that passes for a cordial salute, while the admiring world is none the wiser for the mockery. It is the younger girls, however, who meet on the theatre or church steps, and. putting their forefingers under their chins, lift up the face to the proper angle for imprinting » greeting that is a heartv kiss, firmly on the mouth. Many a miss offers her lips held aptrt like those of a child, moist and relaxed, or ruffles her lips to a French moue, plaintive and appealing.
