Studying About Canada.
Lotdon, Sept. 20.—- The second offer
of medals to the young scholars of Great
Britain for the best papers on the geogra-
phy, history and general studies of Cana-
da is attracting many competitors. The
Canadian High Commissioner's office sup-
plies gratuitously text books specially
adapted for the examination. The ex-
amination will take the form either of an
essay on Canada in general or of answers
to special questions act by the madam.
The principal cf each ashool will then
choose the two best papers, and forward
them to Lord Stratbcona, who will make
a decision at the dote of the Easter term,
1902.
"It is the object of the Canadian Gov-
ernment to impress the rising generation
with the fact of the great field of resource
there in for emigrants in Canada," said
Mr. Winer, Secretary to the Dominion
Agency in London, yesterday. "Too
many of England's emigrants go to for.
edge colonies. eimply for lack of knowl-
edge about the home colonies of ,Great
Britain. The geographical competition
will tell them all about Canada, and it is
one of the conditions of the examination
that the text books provided free by the
Government should be used in the six
months' course of study the pupils must
go through before sending up their
papers."
Wonders of the Heart.
All the blood in the h- uman body passes
through the heart in about three minutes.
The heart beats 70 times a second, 4200
times an hour, 100,800 Ones a day,
shrew Mg out 24 ounces of blood a second,
656 lba. and hour, 71 tons a day. It is
only when supplied with pure, rich blood
that the heart, so organ 6 hiehea long by
4 inches wide, can accomplish this en-
ormous amount of work and rebuild its
own welted tissues. Dr. Chase's Nerve
Food is the most effective treatment
available for heart affections because it
forms new, red corpueoles in the blood
and gives to it that life sustaining quality
which ia necessary to the health of every
organ.

How a Brave, Patriotic Canadian Wife
and Mother Helped to a British
Victory 80 Team Ago.
Laura Secord, nee Ingersoll, was •
born in 1775, in Massachusetts, one
of the forentost of the revolting col-
onion. 'She route to Canada, the in-
fant of her father's family.
Thomas Ingergoll was a wealthy
man, of good social positron, thems
fore the child Laura was born to
affluence and station. But the In-
gersoll blood was loyal, and could
not brook the forswearing of oaths
of allegiance and the compulsory
terms of the new doctrines of a new
liberty. Therefore„ along with John
Graves Simcoe, and a number of
other families, he sought to make his
domicile in the wilderness of Can-
ada.
In those days the means of educa-
tion were small. Mothers and bath-
e. who .bad received their education
at Harvard and other seminaries in
the east saw with pain their own ad-
vantages denied their children. But,
[lice brave men and true, they made
the best of things, and imparted to
their children such knowledge as
they were able; in the midst of stern-
er labors, and such intermittent ed-
ucation, the heroine of the future
partook.
James Second, who married Laura,
was 0,100 the child of a staunch
United Empire Loyalist family. Ile
and his brother founded the first
grist mill in Upper Canada.
The war of 1812, that proved to
the full the patience and heroism of
Canadian men, brought to the sur-
face the devotion and courage of
Canadian women. Loyalty is a prin-
ciple, not an epithet. The first year
of the war had passed, and the in-
vaders had gained nothing. Irritated
by the want of success, the American
general occupying Fort George in-
flicted upon the neighboring inhabit-
ants ,unnecessary restrictions. All
males were put on parole, and for-
bidden to leave their homes on any
pretext whatever.
The Canadian general, Vincent, had
retreated before the invading force
to Burlington Heights, and the sit-
uation looked very unpromising,
inainly owing to the absence of neces-
sary reinforcements. At the cross-
roads at Beaver Dams, by which on
ly Vincent could receive supplies or
reinforcements, Lieut. Fitzgibbon
was posted in DeCew's store house,
with thirty picked men of the 40th
Regiment. To take this post was to
open up the whole peninsula, and for
this purpose Colonel Iloerstler,
gallant officer, who had already dis- • p-spares highly ornamented copies of the
tinguished himself, was ordered to !addresses and eons them to the friends of

-James Secord had been desperately
wounded at the battle of Queenston
Heights, and was at home under par-
ole. Fitzgibbon must be warned,
and Laura Record, rising to the oar
cession, essayed a task from which
strong men might justly shrink.
At that time the whole of the val-
ley between Queenston and Beaver
Dams was a black stamp, traversed
by innumerable creeks, full of wild
creatures, and across which no path
led. The road was a quagmire, and,
moreover, not open to peaceful tra-
vol. To have pursued a direct route
to Fitzgibbon at DeCew's, would
haVe been a trying and toilsome
journey indeed, but the delicate wo-
man, the mother of four little child-
ren, was forbidden even that. The
enemy's pickets were out on all the
roads; she would have to tra-
vel through ' the swamp, climb
the heights, push their way through
tho beechwoods and reach DeUew's
front the back. The dielance involv-
ed was the smallest item of the ter-
rible Journey. The thickets of the
swamp, with its dense underbrush,
the lurking places of the 'bear, tits
wild cat and the rattlesnake; the
pathless wilderness, with its oozy
bottom, its solitude, its terror, these
were the real hardships. She did not
count on Indians, a sufficient terror

her sick husband and young child-
ren — not without many a scalding
tear, though all signs of agitation
had to be concealed. She had to cir-
cumvent three American sentries be-
fore she got clear of the lines, one
at her own gate, where the pretence
of a stray cow sufficed, and the
others by the true story of a sick
brother at St. David's.
She guided herself through the for-
est by those signs of the points of
the compass known to most settlers
in those times. She lost herself more
than once, and the moon was rising
as she reached the further end. All
that hot summer's day she had tray-
ersell the haunted depths of an im-
penetrable swamp, alone, hungry,
faint, anti for the most part of the
way, ragged and shoeless. Wild crea-
tures frequently alarmed her, but
only once she Paltered, and that was
at the dread cry of wolves. For-
tunately they passed her by.
Crossing by means of a fallen tree,
the Twelve Mile Creek, tho heroine
climbed slowly and painfully up the
steep sides of the ridge, on the top
of which she encounters the British
sentry. By him she is directed to
headqutaters, still some miles disa
tent. At length she reaches Fitz-
gibbon, and verifies her massage, and
falls fainting into his arms.
Fitzgibbon's prompt . action, hie
success and his promotion for it are
matters of history, To Mrs. Secord
came no reward, save in the con-
sciousness of a duty done and a vic-
tory won through her instrumental-
ity.
