There -was a good attendance again$at the popular concert on Saturday evening at the Victoria. Rooms, and the programme that. had been arranged under the direction of Mr C..W.

Mr Harry Darbey, and Mr. Walter, Maker, was at the organ; while the vocalists were Madame Eva Hartshorn and Mr James. Boddy.

BRISTOL WESLEYANS AND -THE EDUCATION ACT. A' meeting of subscribers and parents -of children attending the Wesleyan Day School, Baptist Mills, was held in the schoolroom on Friday evening last, for the purpose of electing two foundation managers under the scheme accepted for this school by the Board of Educa-, tion. The Rev. C. E. Wansbrough, superintendent of the Wesley circuit, was voted to the chair, and stated to the meeting the purpose for which it was called. He pointed out that the Wesleyan: Conference had -consistently, year by year, declared its policy to be that should increased grants to denominational schools be given it should be accompanied by increased representation. As a consequence the con-. ference, as expressed by resolution of its committee, could not consistently accept all the provisions of Education Act, and submitted a scheme to the board which, after amendment, had been acopted. This scheme provided for the appointment of two of the foundation managers by that meeting. The Chairman then invited nominations, and the names of Mr Thomas Blacklock and Mr William H. Byrt were proposed, and there being no further nominations they were declared elected. Mr William H. Byrt proposed the following resolution: "This meeting of parents and subscribers, called together to appoint two foundation managers of the Wesleyan Day Schools, Baptist Mills, Bristol, desires to record its appreciation of the action of the trustees in waiving their right under the Education Act to make all. the appointments." He pointed out that 89 consequence of the action of the trustees in conventing that meeting it was probable that the ratepayer would be more directly represented on the management of this school than on any other voluntary or provided school in Bristol. The resolution was carried unanimously. BRITISH AND FOREIGN ANTISLAVERY SOCIETY. The annual report for 1902 of the Anti-Slavery Society has just been issued from the offices of the society, 55, New Broad Street, London. In the course of the report, the Secretary says:4 The native question in South Africa, especially as connected with labour, has of necessity been occupying the attention of the Government, and two important Blue Books have been published during the year dealing with this subject. The first of these gave the text of the four Proclamations issued by Lord' Milner in the Transvaal at the end of 1901, relating to native pass laws and labour contracts, the regulation of labour agents and compound overseers, and the prohibition of liquor. The society recognised with great satisfaction the general tone and spirit of this legislation and of the despatches of Lord Milner and Sir Godfrey Lagden, which was one of declared opposition to forced labour and of admission of the claims of the natives, not only to fair treatment but to special consideration of their needs. Lord Milner dealt in a long and important despatch with some of the questions which had been put before the Government by the letters of the Anti-Slavery Society and the Aborigines Protection Society in the previous year, and declared that he and the other members of the Administration were in general agreement with most of the principles therein laid down. At the same time he protested strongly against what he considered to be a tone of unjustified suspicion and almost of hostility' towards South African opinion in these letters, and took special exception to some While phrases in the Anti-Slavery Society's memorial. entirely disclaiming the hostile feelings of which the High Commissioner discovered traces, the society cannot sentiment admit that its distrust of much colonial in regard to native questions, or the allusions in its memorial to the treatment of natives by colonists, were unjustfied, although it fully concurs with Lord Milner that "the best colonial sentiment in this matter is not far removed from the best home sentiment.'" A WISE SCHOOLBOY. Ten-year-old George Chambers, the son of a wellconstruct Dublin veterinary surgeon, asked at school to a sentence "Bile in which the word " cure" appeared, promptly wrote Beans cure Biliousness, and this is now a well-known fact, he got full marks.

Sho says:- After the birth of my child I frequently suffered from bilious attacks, together with constipation and piles. Sometimes my food, however carefully selected, would return, and for days at a stretch I was so bilions as to be practically useless in the house.
