(Continued from page

HONOUR TO PEKING DOCTOR. The Medaille D'Honneur des. Epide- mics has been conferred by the French Goveroment on Lieut.-Cn! George Douglas Gray, M.D., chief doctor of the Chinese Hospital at Noyelles-sur-Mer. Previous to the: war, Lieut. Col. Gray, who is a son. of Mr. R. Collie Gray, S.S.C., Edia- burgh, was medical officer of the British Legation, at Feking.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING. Willesden Magistrate-French leave? Absentee Highlander-NO, | sir: 14 days' Scottish, overstayed.

The R34 is now resting at East | Fortune, in Haddingtonshire after her 2,000 mile trip over Hamburg, the Kiel Canal; and the Baltic ports, and her crew claim that she cast & shadow over Germany that reached as far as Berlin-

"Neither America nor Great Britain will ever be conquered. Eng land will never be conquered till the last Scotsman is dead. On the field! of battle Scatsmen look like men but fight like devils." This was not said by a Scot (as you might readily sup pose) but by the Rev. T. J. Dickson. an American Army Chaplain.

A new drink is being advertised having "the bite, favour, and smell of whisky." A man who tells me that his uncle's nephew once drank some real whisky assures me that the most important characteristic has been omitted-the effects.. OBITUARY. SIR THOMAS DICK-LAUDER.

The death is intimated of Sir Thomas Dick-Lauder çf. Fountain- hall Pencaitland, Haddington, and the Grange, Edinburgh. It took place at his residence, the Villa Lat der, in Florence. Sir Thomas was Born in April 1846, and succeeded to the title in 1866. For some years ha served in the 60tb Rifies, retiring with the rank of Lieutenant. He held the rank of Knight of Justice and the Order of St. John of Jeru salem. The heir to the Baronetcy,, which was created in 1690, is his brother. George William Dalrymple, who was born in 1852, and was. formerly in the uncovenanted Civil Service of India.

He was 61 years of age, unmarried, and Director of the Brandon Bridge Build- ing Co., Ltd., Motherwell. At the General Election he was run pretty closely by Mr. John Robertson, the miners' leader..

LIFE ON THE OCEAN WAVE.

at

Three firemer from the str. "Luceric "-R. Rearley, J. Russell and F. McIlwaine appeared before Mr. F. Alan Robinson in H. M.

Police Court Shanghai charged with having as- saulted the chief steward of the steamer on July 28, and also with baving been absent without leave, In his evidence, John Alexander, the chief steward, stated that these men had been absent when the midday meal was served. They came about three o'clock and demanded their food, but before he had time to make any reply they kicked him about, knocked him down and chased him to his cabin. Evidence in corroboration was given, and in reply the accused complained about the quality of the food. On the question of being absent they further said that they had signed on to work eight hours a day, and instead they were doing 16 and getting nothing for it. His Worship dismissed the charge of being absent from the ship, and remarked that the assagit seemed to have been particularly brutal. Their complaint about the food had not been supported in evidence, and in itself would not justify the assault. He sentenced each to 14 days' imprisonment..

HOW TO KEEP BABY WELL IN SUMMER.

The summer months are the most dangerous to infants and young children. The complaints of this season, which are tholora infantum, colic, diarrhea wód dysentery, come on so quickly that often the little one is beyond aid almost before the parents realize he is ill. The mother must be on her guard to prevent these tre ables, or if they do come on suddenly she should have means at hand for their immediate treatment.

No other medicine is of such aid to mothers during hot weather as is Baby's Own Tablets, the Canadian children's remedy. These pleasant-testing little Tablets regulate the stomach and bowels and are absolutely safe. They are a remedy for simple fever, indigestion, colic, constipation, disechos and worms. They make toothing easy, promote healthy appetite, restful sleep and regular development
