Heath and Sons, Queen-street, Cardiff, pianoforte makers, organ builders, and music ware- housemen, have collected an imposing" array of test:. monials and Press opinions relating to the quality of the musical instruments supplied by them. The tinn is so well known in Cardiff and. indeed, throughout South Wales and the West of England that it is hardly necessary here to well upon its iufluence and commanding nosition. This collection of teslimonials serves, however, to do something more than certify to the excellence of the instruments furnished by Messrs. Heath n.ud Sous. It shows, in a sense how steadv is the growth among the general puolic of a desire for a knowledge of music, and how increasingly numerous, even m 1¡he homes of the ivorkine classes are mauos. organs, and harmoniums. The great majoritv ot the letters in this list relate to pinnos and. while manv of them have reference to most- costiv instruments containing all the latest improve- ments. supplied to the well to-do, the greater num- t, ber related to serviceable instruments purchased for the homes of the wage-earning portion of the community. This growing love for so refining an art as music is a most fa vourable sign. For though iu the Principality music has for generations been the chief recreation of the people, it has for the most part been choral music in Connection with churches and chapels that has occupied attention. Instru- mental music is now, however, receiving its fair share of attention, and all those in true sympathy with the art must trust that the movement will go steadily onward. These testimonials have been ie- ecived from ever'y QusrSer of the Priucjpnli\r, while not a few come from other portions oc the United KingdolD, and some from South America., India, and other distant countries. All speak most favourably of Messrs. Heath's business methods as well as of their instruments. R, J. Hsl™ AND Soxs INVITE INSPECTION. FULL LUSTRATKD LISTS AND VERVICT POST FREE.

Out of the Fog, C' DAME CARDIFF :-Goodness! What a relief to get out of that bad atmosphere,

FOOTBALL PROFESSIONALISM. Meeting of the Rugby Union Committee Held in London. Considerable interest had, in view of the recent troubles which have arisen between the Lancashire Union and the Lancashire clubs upon the subject of professionalism, been aroused in the meeting of the Rugby Union Committee which was held at the Craven Hotel, Craven-street, London, on Thursday evening;. Salford, it may be re-called, were recently suspended for professionalism until the end of the year, and at the beginning of the present week Radeliffe were also found guilty of infringing the laws against professionalism. Allegations have also been laid against Swinton, Rochdale Hornets, Wigan, and other clubs, so that che matter assumed a very serious aspect. Under these circumstances, the call for a meeting- of the Rugby Union Committee for Thursday evening suggested that the authori- ties had realised the importance of the question at issue and decid,ed to take action in the matter. According to precedent, the meeting, which was called for half-past four in the afternoon, was strictly private. The members adjourned for dinner a.fter sitting for an hour or two, and, on resuming, deliberated until after ten o'clock, when the resolutions given below were furnished to the members of the press. Mr- Roger Walker (president) occupied the chair, and was supported by Messrs. Miller, Kilner, Hirst, and Newsome (Yorkshire), Maclaren, Payne, and Crook (Lancashire!, Currey, Stoke, Guillemard, Cail, and Budd (past presidents), Berney (Surrey), Elliott (Middlesex), Thorpe (Cheshire), West-ray (Cum- berland), Crane (Midland Counties), and Warner (Devon), the only absentee being- Swinburne (Durham).—The committee's resolutions on the subject of professionalism were as follow- 1. That a circular be at once issued by this committee to the clubs of this Union asking them whether they will undertake to comply with the letter and spirit of the bye-laws, rules, and regulations of this Union as regards pro- fessionalism, and requesting a. reply within 28 days from the date of the circular. 2. That oriencp-g committed by clubs after the issue of this circular, whether through them- selves, their agents, officials, members, or ticket- holders, shall be punished by expulsion of such clubs and permanent suspension of all their members and officials. 3. That this committee will consider applica- tions for re-mstatement on the part of any members. 4. That, having rega.rd to the notorious methods of concealment hitherto adopted by offending clubs, this committee will in dealing with future cases consider the burden of proof of innocence lies on the club or person charged. 5. That this committee will not suspend or otherwise- punish witnesses who Voluntarily give evidence bona fide to the Union. 6. That when a player applies for his transfer the burden of proof of the bona, fides of his application shall be on such player. THE CASE OF THE BROTHERS JAMES. APPLICATION FOR RE INSTATEMENT AS AMATEURS. REFUSED BY THE RUGBY UNION. At a meeting of the Rugby Union Committee held at the Craven Hotel, Craven-street, Lon- don, on Thursday evening applications for re- instatement as amateurs from the Brothers James, J. Fawcett (Manningham), and J. AJder- son (Cumberland) were considered and refused-

AROHDRUiDSHiP. Views of Dyfed and Gurnos as to Clwydfardd's Successor. There is already a discussion among bards as to the suocessorship in the Ar-chdruidship, vacant by the death of "Chvydfardd." "Dyfed," in the course of a conversation, ex- pressed the opinion that, the venerable Arch- deacon Gniffiths is the most competent in e.-s- teddfodic circles to succeed "Chvydfardd" in the Archdruidship. It is ridiculous nons-ense to argue a technical knowledge of the 24 Welsh metr-es as a qualification. "Gurnos" said:—I am entirely agStinst a feudal system in all things. I am of opiniun that the chairmanship -of the bardic circle should be for twelve months alono. Wh-at, of the chaired bard at the National Eisteddfod ? The office cannot be g-.iven to anyone. It must b'3 won, in fairness to all people. Wje have no right to confer it upon anyone. Seriously .speaking, the office should cease as $u>,i1. and the chaired bard given the plaoe his position demands. i"

ABERDARE'S HIGH-CONSTABLE A Badge of Office Provided by the Towns- people. L Whilst many less populated district possess the dignity of a municipality, the thriving town of Aberdare has so fax been content to have a high-constable as its nominal head, the redeem- ing feature being that Westminster and Mer- thyr Tydfil are the only other places in the kingdom similarly privileged. A special benefit, from a. ratepayer's point of view, lies in the fact that the office does not entail any charge HIGH-CONSTABLE OF ABERDARE, (From a photograph by B. Thomas, Aberdare.) upon the taxes, the holder having personally to bear all outgoings. Until recent years the appointment was considered merely a formal one, but latterly more interest became attached to it. and there is now always keen inquiry as to who the next holder will be. Nominally the successor is fixed by the retiring high-constable, but it has to be ratified by the justices for the division of Miskin Higher. Mr. Williams has well discharged the various duties, and, having lately been re-elected, it was felt that his tenure of the position should be the means of adding greater importance to the ancient office. At a meeting of townsmen it was decided to pro- vide a substantial outward and visible sign," which should be handed down to successive high-constables, and the badge selected is an extremely handsome one, the several links being inscribed with the names of all holders from the year 1855. In order to formally invest the token and mark such a unique eveni. in the history of the town, a banquet took place at the Boot Hotel en Wednesday evening1, when Mr. David Hughes catered in a highly-satisfactory man- uer. Mr. W. J. Thomas, who was a.p- pointed high-constable in 1857, occupied the chair, and Colonel Thomas Phillips. who served in 1879, acted as vice-chairman, the company including Mr. W. :\1. North (stipen- diary magistrate), Dr. David Davies, J.P.. Dr. Evan JontM. J.P., Dr. E. P. Evans. J.P., Mr. Morgan J.P., Mi. Griffith George, J.P.. the principal residents of the. town, and a. large number of visitors. —The toast of the evening was entrusted to Mr. W. M. North, who discharjred his duty in a very pleasing maimer, and subseqaentlv the Chairman invested the high-constable with the gold chain, at the came■ .time giving a succinct narrative of the various changes that had taken place in the parish during the pa«t 40 years.—Other toasts followed, and there was a oa^t-al musical programme, prn- vided bv Mr. D. P. Richards, the accom- panist bei-mar Mr. RMia-rd Howells. Mr. Williams is a Vale of Glfirnorean was apprenticed to tIlt, drapery trade at My. Yorath'.« at Swsn««a. Subsequently he was in the employ of Mr. Ben Evans in that town. then loft for N ewnort. and finally settled down rot Aberdare. Here he prospered mightily, and his business now is one of the boasts of the town He has done Aberdare many eminent services and his fellow-townsmen. and as a reward was vl'essed to the town's chief-constableshin. He is one of the leading laymen in the Baptist persuasion.

A LAW SCANDAL. Judge owilym Wil'iams Interviewed as to Truth's Paragraph. Hie Honour Judge Williams, who is at prtiaent sitting at the County-court- of Swan- sea this woek, was seen by a pre&s represen- tative after the adjournment for luncheon oc Thursday, and, in reply to the question as to whether he had seen the paragraph in Truth" published by us on Thursday, the squire of Miskin smilingly answered in the affirmative. He further added. I don't think it refers to me, however, inasmuch as my son doesn't practice at any court. First of all, the law prohibits such an action, and, secondly, I should strongly object to this arrangement even if this were not the case. At quarter sessions, of course, that is another matter. Mr. Rhys Williams does appear at, those, but then the oases in winch he is engaged are likely as not to come before the vice-chairman,, and not before me."

BRlOGEND EISTEDDFOD. Announced that It will Not be Held This Year. At a meeting ef tfoe committee of the Briagend Eisteddfod this week it was decided by a majority not t40 hold an eistedd- fod next year. It was felt that it would clash with the National Eisteddfod to be held at Llaneliy. However, it was agreed to hold a two days eisteddfod the following year, and the first Monday and Tuesday in July. 1896, were passed.

ATTEMPTED WIFE MURDER. A Sensational Shooting Affray near Glasgow. A sensational shooting affray ha.s just tran- spired at Barrhead, near Glasgow. John MacKinnon, who had been living apart from his wife, went to her house in Gateside, and con- cealed himself beneath her bed. At midnight he crawled from his hiding place, and fired two shots at his wife. Their daughter knocked up her father s arm while firing-, and caused the bullets to fly overhead. Her mother narrowly escaped, as her forehead was begrimed with the smoke. MacKinnon, who has been certified insane, delivered himself up to the police with a, revolver, four ba.rrels being- still loaded,

YSTRADYFOOWG FIRE BRIGADE. The Ven. Archdeacon Griffiths opened a four day's bazaa-r in aid of the Ystradvfodwo- Fire Brigade at the Drill-hall, Pezitre, on Wednes- d&y evening. There was a fairly good atten- dance.—Dr. James, the captain of the brigade, iormally introduced the venerable archdeacon. who said he had never felt more deeply in sympathy with opening an affair than that of the fire brigade, because these men were volun- teers. and risked their lives and spent their tnne to benefit the locality. (Cheers.) He was proud to say that he, in conjunction with others, had assisted in making the Baile-r'e Estate one of the chief estates in South Wal ?. In a dis- f trict populated like the Rhondda. fire brigade was essential, and he should be giad when the working men would each take a personal in- terest in pushing forward the welfare of those ILPn, so a.s to efficiently equip them for their work. (Cheers.) He formally declared the bazaar open. {Prolonged cheers followed.)— The bazaar was opened on Thursday by Coun- cillor C. Cory, and to-day (Friday) Mr. E. H. Davies and to-morrow (Saturday) Mr. W. Abraham ("Mabon"), M.P., will open the bazaar. 17-=

Babies and Monkeys. A CRITICAL COMPARISON Of THEIR FACES. Facts in Support of the Darwinian Theory that Our Early Ancestors were Quadrupeds. "It is a fond delusion with visitors and nurses," says a writer in the "Nineteenth Century," ''that the baby is just like its father or mother. No one who has had that scientific training necessary to projfer obser- vation could make suc-h a statement. It is a gross libeJ, sometimes on the baby, some- times on the parents. Properly-taken photo- graphs show that the proportions of nearly every feature in the face of a baby and an adult are entirely different; but the greatest difference exists in the size and shape of the nose, and the size of the javre. If, when adult, we had features like our babies, we should have a countenance of a negroid type. The prognathism thus shown is a heritage from quadrupedal ancestors,, a,nd is a neces- sary result of the carriag-e of the head en. forced by a four-footed mode of progression. Attention may be called to another fea-tur( pointing out the same lesson of alteration an,, imperfect adaptation. Below the nose run1, a furrow parting the upper lip. In the fane: of babies and children this furrow is verj noticeable; from the evolution ist's point of view it is one of the most remarkable charac- ters of the face. It tends to beocane obso- lete in old age. It is not seen among the Catarhine monkeys. Among the Platyrhines it is but feebly developed, but in Lemurs it. is in a more pronounced state—there is a tlfepretsBed septum to which, the two side pieces are joined—the upper lip. in fact, is nearly split in two, but held together by a diepressed piece of flesh. In the Mareu- pialia and Rodentia the lip is practically in two pieces, and each piece is capable of being moved separately. Tliis is the 'hare- lip,' and its method of use may well be noticed in. a hare or a rabbit when eating. The furrow, therefore, in a child's lit) points to this: that our ancestors possessed, not a single upper lip. as we do now, but two upper lips, one beneath eaah nostril, both capable of independent movement. In course of time these two lips have, owing to the non-require- ment of independent movemenjkgjrown ioiretii«r to form the single lip which we now possess; but the line of junction is not. perfect, and so the furrow results: aad- sometimes there is a distinct soar down the middle of the furrow. The possession of this furrowed wr** Hp IMF children is one of the strongiest pieces of evi- dence against the descent of man from. any Catarhine, and in favour of his descent from Platyrhines. or from Lemurs through the intervention of Platyrhme like ancestors. of which there are no no exact living repreasntasivws. Axmgxor fea- ture of a child's face is capable of similar ex- planation as a T- relic of its artce-steo- other modes of life. The pouch-like cheeks of a baby are particularly noticeable,and they may be especially remarked in the representation of cherubs adorning eeoleeia,-1 icti monuments. In such connection it savours of sacrilege to sugg-est thait these inflated baby cheeks, so much admired by all mothers, and regarded by Churchmen as particular features of a, hypothe- tical higher sort at being-—angefe—are really the attributes of a lower order, and are. the ves- tig-es of cheek/pouches, posoj^ssd for storing away food, as in Cersopitheeus, a monkey in which this habit of storing may be observed at the Zoological Gardens, if visitors feed it. There is no need to enter into embryolo- gical or anatomical tierta^Je concerning tthft characters for which children are indebted to monkeys. They possess, in common with their adults, a rudimentary ta,il hidden beneath their skin; but this is not a fact that ev-eyone can verify on the instant. Yet those who have the oa.re of children can easily see for themselves the ecax which the loss of the tail has still left OR ohildresis bodies—a soar which is curiously similar to whai would obtain after amputation, of a tail. Just at the base of the vertebral column-exactly where the tail would protrude through the fle.:d1 if it were functionally active -is a deep oirciiar depression, sufficient- :1- most far the insertion of the little finger. In voungbabies it ie very noticeable; and il1.trS& while wondering whait purpose it serves. a,bus«s" it ais a place which is diitticult to wash. In older children it gradually becomes shallower: and in those about five or at-ven years old it may or may not be -shown. That it marks the place where a tail formerly protruded in our ancestors there can be no doubt from its shape and its position. In an adult female gorilla in the British Museum the tadl-mark is as large as a florin. Its persistence to the adult stage in the case of the gorilla and its earlier loss in mat is probably accounted for by the latter having attained a more perfect upright carriage of the body."

WELSH TIN-PLATE TRADE. Proposed Reduction in Wages at Lianelly. It is probable that in a short time the tin- platers of the Llaneliy district will be engaged in a struggle with their employers on the ques- tion of wages. A proposal for a redaction of 20 or 25 per cent, has already come before the mes in an indirect way, and on Saturday a meeting of the Llaneliy district will be held, at whiot, important business will be transacted. It if no secret that this business is nothing more or less than the question of wages and the atti- tude to be adopted towards the masters.
