Gwyn hos ventured to jot down the following- **erquenses of effective passes," which, what. attempted under certain ciromustangs, sre extremely difficult to obeck: (1) From halves to-mear contro to socood centre, back ta fire mutre, right out, over escond centre to wing; (3) from hals to firat centre, right out wing, back to second contro, baoke to wing. All thi olaboration goes to show how very carefully the painstaking bait-back had thought out the bost methods of attack, nod Ragby players will recognise at one? how nicely the pisses are onlon- lated to upset the opposition. Of Mr. Fred.

Hargreaves, bis younger brother, did much vainable work for the old Rovers' team must refresh my memory with some of their doings
for no club has earned a more distinguished re putation. Fortune has not smiled upon the Rovers of late, but it is by no means improbable hat we may see them at the top of the troc again before many years are over.

The Chief Constable of Liverpord gave some" interesting evidense boforo the Commission on the Liquor Lawa. The diminution of public drunkenness in that town during the last covenINART -yours has been most romarkable, In 1890 the N
Courictions wera 25 per 1,000 of the population;
ir 1885 they had fallen to 8; and, eccording to Captain Noll Bower, the Improvement is real, nat rarely statistical. The attributes it mainly to ingressed sterisi stringency and a change is the system colice supervision, but mentione a namber of subsidiary causes, soli as depression of trade, increased recreation, and improve conditions of life. Intemperansie has diminished both among men and worsa, but considerably Ja anong the latter, which has led to the erromeone notion-timt feinale, drankenness is iseruauing. That is a completo mistake, says the chief constable, One reason why womon have improved less than men is that so many of the female offendes ore incorrigible" Habítual drunkenness is almost entirely confined to womon," as appears from the records of con -victions for the last ten years. Comparatively fen men are the enbjects of repented convictions; and, as the frequency of the offence rises; they drop out altogether, saving the women alone in their glory at 50 convictione sad upwards in the course of the tan years.
Although (says a correspondent of the Taily Chronicle) Professor Kaackfuss is usually oxdited with assisting the Kaiser in the pro daetion of bis aurprising pictures, the Gortaan: monarch owes his earliest introduction to the uysteries of art to an Englist painter. The fist time the Kaiser Landled a brush was at Windsor, whon Mr. Frith was painting the picture of the Prince of Wales's marriage for the Queen. All the royal porsousges gave sittings to the artist, and the Kaiser, then a fittle four-year-old Prince, sport several mora- ings in the room where the picture was being painted. To keep the child quiet, Mr. Frith gave him some paints and brushes, and allowed him to dabble on one of the unfaiched corners of the quartus.
