to state that the paper, as I am told which gave an account of myl oxocution at two d'olock, ' was] printed at cloven the same day :) and this, I think, is full confirma- tion of the fact of my being alive,| seoing that the gentlemen of the Chronicle nowspaper could_not} know at elovon what took place at two. So; Sir. your humblo servant to conmand, Thomas O'Sullivan, County Gaol Limo-; rick April 30, 1824.

"Notabene. My first cousin. Morty. O, went into mourn- ing, and Judy, my aunt's slator, was murdored with grief. Soo what gomes of fuke nows, sir."

PACE OF NEWA. Another of these century-old} extracts brings acuto realization of the diforence botween 1824 and 1924 in rospect of the pace of

nows. Rarely does anything hap of sufficient importance) is not Lord Byron died on April 19,

pan-to-day which (provided it is

reported in the next day's paper.

1824; his death was first record- od in the Times of the following: May 15. The news had taken a month to travel from Greece to London. Nor will a month geom

excessive fur the journey when

we recall the conditions of that age. "A courier,' says the quoted article, "arrived yesterday with the news from Missolonghi." On¦ the other hand-and this also is worth thinking about the com- ments on Byron's charactor and: destiny made by the Times of 100 years ago are pretty much what the most tolerant admirer Byron might utter to-day.

Thore wore individuals more

to be approved for moral qualities than Lord Byron-to be more sufoly followed, or more tondorly beloved: but there lives no mon on earth wloss sudden dopurture from it, under the circumstancos in which that nobleman was cut off, appears more calculated to impress the mind with profound and unmingled mourning.

Lord Byron was doomed to pay that price which Nature some- times charges for stupendous intellect, in the gloom of his im agination and the intractable energy of his passions... Had he but died in battle against 'slaves and infidels for a Christian people struggling to be free, his own fame would have received its full consummation, and his vishes, as is well understood, Thoir comploto fulfilment."

The photograph reproduced below is that of a well-known Hongkong lady's baby. This sturdy and beautiful child, fed entirely on Cow & Gate Milk Food, gained 19 ozs. in the short space of 14 days—a splendid tribute to the value of Cow & Gate. Milk Food Besides being particularly

adapted for feed- ́ing Babies in`a climate such 03 ours, it has un- equalled body- building qualities.
