C. P. SMITH, Sub. Agent. 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 prepare himself. He was in com- mand of the 14th United States Re- the eulogized dead.

It is dated For Farmers prise fell from the lips of several American soldiers at the Seeord House, where, by right of might. the invaders were wont to make. theta- selYea free of such comforts es it might afford. -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 In themselves to come upon But 'duty had to be done, and Laura Secord did it. She left home. 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.
