In politics he is strictly conservative, and deplores the democratic spirit of the age which, he declares, is ruining the ser vice as an occupation for a gentleman. The propriety of working for one's living has always been open to discussion and there is much to be said on both sides of the question. I think it was Wat Tyler who reduced the whole problem to a couplet.

Tact and discretion are needful in dealing with him. For example, nobody with any sense of propriety would over drear offering caviare to the general. If anyo werd so indiscreet as to do so he would find

the mess sergeant's oye fixed on him severe disapproval; while any repetition the offence would be dealt with according to the customs of war in like cases.

It was formerly a recognised practics for a general to have a horse or two shot under him in battle, but this pretty custom has now fallen into disuse; perhaps because, as firing now takes place at longer ranges, some clumsy fellow might shoot the general instead of the horse.

I have sometimes thought of being a gener. myself but I do not know how to set about it. I once asked a general, whom I knew alightly, how he managed to become one; whether it was by a miracle, or whether, like Topsy, ho. jist Ho turned very red in the growed." face and I was hurried from his presence by a frightened A.D.O. before he had time to reply; but some words that reached my ears as I fled along the corridor focalled to my mind that "the army swore terribly in Flanders."

THE PRINTER AGAIN.

Ma. W. T. Stead told a good story on. the 22nd January, at the annual meeting of the London Esperanto Club. Following the hon. seo., who complained of a printer's error in the society's reporty he said that: he had written, in that morning's Daily Chronicle an article giving his views on the country's verdict at the elections and in- quiring what they should do with their majority. I began," said Mr. Stend "by chortling over the Unionist defeat, but when I received a proof I found that my friend, the editor, had written in thre corner, Don't you think it would ho

A THRILLING SCENE.

Railway Collision to Order.

The railroad wreck in a horribly fascinat ing thing. Indeed, in the category of catastrophes to which civilisation is heir only the collision on the high seas can eclipse the smash of the iron horse in repulsive attraction. Nero, in the days of needless carnage, for the entertainment of his subjects, once arranged an actual naval battle, Tiers of seats were erected on the ahore, as in a vast amphitheatre, but there is no record of pleasure and excursion boats having transgressed the course of the A writor in the Penny fighting fleets. Magazine says that probably the nearest approach to the Roman tyrant's spectacle wae in 1896, when, for the dual purpose of advertisement and the raising of campaign funds to further the cause of William Jen- nings Bryan against the late President of the United States, the Democrats of the silver State of Colorado conceived the vastest show of modern times. It was no less than a prearranged railway collision. Two great engines-condemned for some reason-were procured, and a mile of spur track con- structed. The exponse was entered into partly by the railways, as a means towards the prevention of future accidental col. lisions; the buss railway wrockers from all parts of the country gathered at the scone to study the smash. A vast arena was con- structed around the meeting point of the two engines, and the seats sold at a high figure. All the morning excursion tuina from Denver carried loads of sensation-loving mankind' out to the selected spot in the prairies. "Ma k Hanna" and "William McKinley," as the engines were named, stood for inspection at the point at which they were to meet in their single deadly atroke. At the appointed time the clocks of the respective engines were eat.together to a second. The engineere shook hands and backed their steeds away from each other. The stokers of each had the safety valves throbbing when the moment of attack was When the clocks touched that at hind Bec nd the throttles were pulled wide, the crew leapt for their lives, and the monsters

MULLE. HELENE COULLOUT,

Oured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.

For about eighteen months,' she states, I suffered intensely from weak digestion. I could not digest even the lightest forms of food, and I gradually lost strength. My weakness became so pronounced that after the least exertion I gasped for breath. At last I could eat practically nothing, I lost weight, was nervous, and obtained little sleep. After trying in vain all sorts of remedies, and when in despair of being cured, I was advised by a friend to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I did, and after two bottles I was completely cured. I regained a good colour, an excellent appetite, a perfect digestion, and the strength that comes with new blood "
