The time.lianoured badges and other de-
vices borne by our British Regiments can
boast in ina.ny instances of a. very interest-
ing origin. This is not only true with re-
gard, to the "white horse," "laurel wreath,"
or " castle and key," which, we are accus-
tomed to see eet down in almanacs and, the
like as the badges of certain corps, for
there are frequently other distinguishing
features that find no place in such lists.
Thee are sometimes of a kind, too, not
well calculated to attract the notice
of non-inilltary persons ; and it is pos-
sibly within the mark to say that not
one in twenty civilian observers detects, for
example, the apparently meaningless bow
of ribbon on the back of the collars of the
Royal Welsh Fusiliers. This much -prized
decoration is a unique distinction, without,
however, any very heroic history; it is
merely a Memento of the queue or pigtail
which was worn in the army till about
1808.
Among other badges the seine regiment
carries the net unusual one of the white
horse," above alluded to. Though well
enough known, no doubt, to be the white
horse of Hanover," it is probably not so
widely. understood for what reason this de-
vice came to be bestowed upon so many of
our older regiments. It wolild appear that
in the beginning of the last century the
appointments of a good many corps display-
ed the armorial coat or crest of the colonel, -
in -chief, who was often a member a the
aristocraoy, and a territorial magnate in
genie part of the country. Such marks of
distinction on the part of these territorial
families, we are told, excited the keen
jealousy of the newly -arrived Hanoverians,
so much so, that one of the very first steps
taken by George 1. was to sweep away these
family iesignia, and replace them with his
own, Hence, then, the frequency of the
white h:rse as A reg -mental device.
A regiment ot great renown, the
Scots Greys, carry as a badge an
eagle with outstretched wings—the only
device of the kind in the army.
The Greys have enjoyed this unique distinc-
tion sine the celebrated capture of a French
eagle or standard at Waterloo by Sergeant
Bwart, who was given a commiasion for his
gallantry. It is a well-earned badge, too,
for the Greys have a sort of pre-eminence
for taking standards at Ramillies they
eaptured the colours of the Regiment
du Rol ;" while at Dettingen they took
the famous white standard of the French
household =airy. And they are well en-
titled t the motto "Second to none,"
which they proudly carry. The mention of
tbis motto reminds us that there is another
of the kind, though iu Letin, in the "Ser -
ice ;" the Coldstream Guards carry the
words " .Nolli Secundus" upon their regi-
mental colour. When the troops were par-
aded to take the oath of allegiance to
Charles U. after the Restoration, the men
were ordered to "ground" their arms.
Among others present were the three regi-
ments since known as the Foottuards ; and
they were commanded to take up arms as
the First, Second, and Third Guards. The
First and Third. obeyed with alacrity; the
regiumut of General Monk stood still, to
the surprise of the king who inquired of
Monk the reason for their insubordinate
bearing. The veteran replied that his regi-
ment, -declined to be considered second
to any other; and says the legend,
Charles remarked : "Very well ; they shall
be my Coldstream Regiment of Foot -
guards, and second to none." Hence the
motto. General Monk's connection with
this corps is commemorated in a curious
manner. A small Union Jack is borne on
the Queen's Colour of the Coldstream, in
consequent.° of Monk having been an M-
inkel of the fleet as well as a general. This
is a distinction without a parallel in the
army.
Almost every one must notice that while
officers et ear their sashes over the left
shoulder, sergeants have theirs over the
right. Taere is one exception, however, to
thts rule; for the sergeents of the 296
Foot arrange their sashes in the same man-
ner as the officers. Seine say that this dis-
tiaction dates from Culloden, where the
regiment is alleged to have had so
many racers slain, that sergeants had to
take their places in command of the com-
panies. Another regituent, the 13th, com-
memorttes its terrible loss on the same field
in a different fashion: the officets wear per-
ennial mourning in the shape of a black
stripe in their gold lace. This kind of per-
petual mourning is not, however, peculiar
to the 13th. The 65th and 84th have black-
eiged lace on the officers' tunics, in mem-
ory, it is said, of the loss they sustained on
the Nice in 1S18; and black gloves used to
be worn by the 8Ith to commemorate the
seme event. Scene other corps have the
black stripe in their gold lace, but it seems
TO be very doubtful for what reasons. In
certain cases it is supposed to be a symbol
of mourning for General Wolfe or Sir John
Moore; in others, for heavy losses in ac-
tion.
At Dettingen, in 1743, the 22nd Foot ex-
tricated George II. from a somewhat peril-
ous position. in remembrance of which event
they wear a small sprig of oak in their caps
on the Queen's birthday and other special
occasions; and on the 29th of May an acorn
is worn by some old regiments, that date
• being the anniversary of the Restora-
tion. In a similar fashion the 12th and
20th wear a rose on the 1st of August.
This floral decoration arises from the
tradition, which is well founded, that
at Minden these reg imen ts marched
through flower -gardens, and most of the
men wore roses as they went into action on
August 1,1759. For their prowess at Min-
den, the 12th, 20th, '23d, 25th 37th, and 5Ist
regiments were granted leave to carry a
laurel wreath on their colours and. equip-
ments ; and for reasons above alluded to the
20th have in addition a rose on their stand-
ards. Besides the "Minden wreath," there is
one other instance of the same symbol in the
army—it is borne on the colours of the 57th.
the "Die Bards" of Albnera celebrity. .1
regimout just mentioned, the 12th, together
With the 39th 5611, and 58th, carry the
"Castle and ley," the raotto " .Montis in-
signia Calpe," and the word " Gibraltar,"
on account of having taken part in the
memorable defence of that fortress from
1770 to 1783.
A famous regiment, the 5th or Northum-
berland Fusiliers, has a distinction of a curi-
ous if notaltogether unprecedented variety.
In their headdress the officers and men
have a plume red in the upper moiety and
white in the lower ; and though this
may not perbaps seem a matter of
•. much moment, it has a 'history. At
Willie1mste,h1, and again when in $t.
Lucia, the 5th, after, eanguinary combats,
gathered from the ceps of slain French
grenadiers enough white feathers to •fit out
the whole regiment with plumes—an
adornment which a while afterwards met
with the approval of the authorities. But
in 1.829 a War Office order gave instructions
for the white pltnne to be, more generally
aclopte,e. in the service ; and in consequence
of tine innovation, tbe Fusiliers complaiu-
ad abet they weld leze their well-earned
distiuotion. So the matter at issue was
eventually compromised by granting them
permission to wear the half -red, half -white
plume above mentioned. For reasons never
properly explained, the 5th wear a rose on
St, George's Day.
Besides feathers, other curious trophies
are represented in the belongings of this
regiment. At Leacknew they captured an
ivory bedstead belonging to the Begum, as
well as a great rod or stick of silver. From
a part of the former a bandmaster's baton
was carved ; while the latter was fashioned
into a drum major's staff. Both are still
doing duty. This tate by the way, re-
minds us of the ivory stick carried on the
anniversaries of certain battles by the ser-
geant -major of the 91st Highlanders. W hen
on the way hoine from the Cape in 1802, the
transport having the regiment on board
was charged by a sword -fish, which left its
weapon embedded in the side of the vessel.
Converted into a walking -stick, the ivory
sword accompanied the sergeant -major
through the whole of the Peninsular War.
The mimes of the battles in which it was
carried are inscribed upon it on plates of
solid gold; and it is still carried on parade
by the sergeant -major on the anniverearies
of these actions,
Somewhat akin to the party -coloured
plume of the Northumberland Fusiliers,
again, was the red ball which used to ap-
pear on the shakoes of the light company of
the 46th Foot. During the battle of Brandy-
wine, in the Ainerican War, this company
by accurate shooting made great havoc in
the rooks of the enemy, who threatened,
when they could obtain a favorable oppor-
tunity for revenge, to glee the marksmen
no quarter. In defianee, however, of this
menace, and to make themselves more
readily distinguished from their comrades,
they dyed the ball in their caps red—with
Maori, according to tradition—in place of
the green worn by the rest of the regimlint.
This distinction web subsequently suction
ed by the War Office authorities.
One more instance of a similar kind, and
we are done. The iltith Foot used to have
a singular distinguishing feature in their
number badge, whieh was affixed not only
on the front, in the usual manner, but also
on the hack, of their caps. On one occasion
in Egypt, when rather incautiously drawn
up in hue, a fierce onelaught was made upon
the regiment, in rear as well as in front,
by large bodies of French cavalry. There
was no time to get into square forination to
"receive' the charging horsemen ; but the
commanding °Weer, being a man of re-
source, shouted, "Rear rank, right.about-
face. Fire:" The rant e.artied out the order
with promptitude ; standing heels to back,
they simultaneously beat off both assaults ;
mad to commemorate the affair, they were
greeted the unique distinction Of the dupli-
cate number badge.
LATE BRITISH NE WS.
Ab,Staithes, Yorkshire, on Sunday, the
mangled body of Mrs, 1VIihireci, 22, wife of
a miner, was found at the foot of a cliff
nearly 360 feet high. It is supposed that
she conenitted suicide.

juries, which resulted in his death.

Statistics from the British census show
that the Irish language is dying out. Ten
years ago 64,000 people in Ireland spoke
only Irish. In 1391 the number who knew
only the Irish tongue was 38,000. in 1881,
885,000 of the population of Ireland could
speak Irish and English. Last year the
number was 642,000.
A woman testified before the Trades'
Union Congress in London that two months
ago she was making trainers for the Duke
of York when two children were taken out
of the next, house to the fever hospital, and
one of them died. Even the best tailors

to infectious diseases.
A man in Kirkintilloch, Scotland, VMS
fined ten shillings the other day for playing
the bagpipes on Sunday. Whether because
it was Sunday or because it was bagpipes
is not stated, but neighbors of the man who
spends his Sabbaths now in practising cara-
paign march atrocities on e bugle will readi-
ly see the wholesomeness of the Covenanter
blue laws.
On Wednesday morning the decapitated
body of a young lady, apparently under
thirty years of age, was found near High
Barnet, on the Great Northern Railway.
Amongst her belongings were found letters
addressed I—Mrs. Long, 60 Hatton Road.

the body found was that of the addressed.
Judging from her clothing and jewellery,the
deceased was of good position. Appear -
epees led to the conclusion that the young
lady had deliberately placed her head on
the metala and had been killed by a passing
train.
The Young Man Who Will be Wanted.
If WO could only get the ear of filet boy
in sohool, or that young irtam in college, we
vend I say most earnestly to him: The
time is coming, end perhaps not far dis-
tant, when you will be wanted. The oppor-
tunity is ready to develop when you will
be needed, a most important opportunity,
when, if you are natty, you can enter into
a great life work; a tide which taken at its
flood will lead on to fortune and fame. This
is a broad and populous country, and oppor-
tunities for eminent achievement and large
usefulness are constantly occurring in re-
ligious work in educational work, in busi-
ness, in professional life, or in politics and
the servem of the country, possibly in war.
You may be wanted never so much, but if
you are uot ready when wanted you will be
passed by. The opportunity, just the one
you would most like, will not wait for one
not ready. Somebody else will take the
place. You will certainly be wanted, and
you should he ready to respond at the right
moment. The important places require men
of charm:ter, fixed principle, education,
power. No man gets mental power and
discipline without hard, stern work, and
years of it, And no weak, undisciplined
and unprincipled person is fit for command,
or can over expect to hold a commanding
position. There is no lack of important
positions for those competent to fill them.
But it should he remembered that inmate
tent pesitions ea.n always find those able to
fill them, rine the world will not wait for
you if you are not ready.
Many an old man to -day is looking back
to see another in justthe one place that was
designed for him. and in which he might
have been perfectlyoontent, happy, and use-
ful—in which he might have done a great
and important life -work, achieved distinc-
tion —hut when opportunity's hour struck
he was not ready. and he now feels that his
life has been a failure, because he neglected
to prepare himself for the time when he
would be wanted. The late Prof. H. B.
Smith used to say to his students: " Young
gentlemen, have a hobby, have a hobby I"
i.e., have some one line of study of which
you will stand facile prin:ers and when op-
portunity calls, you will he the one wanted.
Always study with this thought in mind,
that before long the opportunity will occur
when you will be wanted.
A BOGUS EXPLORER.
Petermann's MEI th ellaniteu Imposed Upon
villa a Stolen Story of Travel.
One of the leading geographical magazines
Petermann's lifiitheilmngen, has been made
the victim of literary dishonesty. In the
April and. May numbers of the magazine a
Mr. A. J. Ceyp describes a journey which,
he asserted, he bad made recently to the
frontier ofeBeloochietart. He deseribed the
country minutely, told of the desolate and
sandy regions he crossed on his weer, of the
robbers who lurked in the ravines ready to
plunder caravans, of the settlements found
here and there in widely separated oases,
and of the large town of Yezb, the original
home of the Parsis. His story was very he
teresting, ane as his route lay through a
region that was almost unknown, and as it
abounded with geographical detail of ap-
parent accuracy, the magazine made the
narrative very prominent. The story oc-
cupied severat,pages in each of the numbers.
In the AugEst number of the Mite. eilure
• gen the editor prints conspicuously the fact
that Ceyp's narrative proves to be nothing
more than an accurate transcript of the
travel sketches of Gasteiger Khan, which
were published at Innsbruck in 1881. As
thirteen years heel elapsed since their pub-
lication. Ceyp thought he was safe in ap-
propriating them as the record of a journey
made by himself. •

British newspapers are discussing earnest-

in this country have wire hat racks beneath

coats and wraps on the backs of seats. One
church in Chicago has regular opera ehairs

MORTUARY STATISTIOS.

Which Show Cleat Canada le About the
etealthtest Countre Under Om ewe
The number of deaths in the Dominion
for the 12 months ending April 6, 1891, is
placed at 67,688, as compared with 63,413
la the same period in 1881. This shows the
increase in deaths to be 6.75 per cent.
against an increase in population of 11.73
per cent In 1890-91 the deaths were 14.-
10 per thousand, against 15.34 per thousand
in 1880-81, or 1 in every 71 persons in 1891,
and 1 in (15 in 1881, indicating improved
conditions in life as the result of 10 years'
experience. This result, as compared with
the death rate in the United Kingdom, is
much lower than the latter, and even better
than that of Australia, which country was
declared to have the lowest death rate in
the world.
The census returns for the province of
Quebec went to indicate that the death
rate among French-Canadians is greater
than among the rest of the community. The
returns show the total deaths to have been
28,154, of which 26,089 were Roman
Catholics. This gives the rate per 1,000 at
20.1, or 1 in every 50. Tee death rate
among Protestants in the province of Quebec
is 1.08 per 1,000, or 1 in 92. In Ontario the
death rate among Catholics is 14 per 1,000,
or 1 in 70, and among Protestants 10.8 per
1,000, or 1 in 92. As 68 per cent. of the
Roman Catholics are French-Canadiaxis it
is evident that the death rate among them
is very high.
Taking the death rate by provinces the
returns show that it is lowest in the North-
west Territories, being only 7.32 per thou-
sand, and highest in Quebec, where it is
18.95 per 1,00). In all the provinces the
death rate in 1891 is lower than in 1881,
except in No Scotia, where there is a
slight increase from. 14.54 in 1881 to 14,57
per 1,000in 1891
The births for the year 1891 numbered'
1e5,843, divided into 70,080 males and 65,-
736 females thus making a birth rate of
28.3 per 1,000 of population. The excess of
the birth rate over the death rate for 1891 in
the various provinces is as follows :
British Columbia 23.16 births per thou-
sand against.13 94 heaths.
Mauiteba, 32.53 against 10.36.
New Brunswick, 27.70 against 13,36.
Nova Scotia, 25,41 against 14.57.
Ontario, 24.50 against 11.30.
Prince Edward Island, 24.45 against
12,26.
_Quebec, 36.36 against 18.91.
North-west Territories, 24.98, against
7.32.
The deaths according to religions were in
1891 ; Baptist, 3,587, or 11.8 in every
1,000; Roman Catholics, 36,430 or 18.3 per
1,000 ; Church of England, 7,681, or 11.8
per 1,000; Methodist, 8,835, or 10.4 per
1,000; Presbyterians. 8,140, or 10.8 per
1,000; others, 3,069, or 11.9 per 1,000.
Methodists come firse having the lowest
death rate ; then follow Presbyterians,
Church of Englandand Baptiets abreast and.
Catholics last. Compared with other coun-

Carrier pigeons played interesting parts
in the newspaper work of the recent oleo.
tions in Great Britain, Important candi-
dates in out of the way country districts
poorly provided with telegraphic facilities,
as Mr. Gladstone's Midlothian district,
were accompanied in their tours by news-
paper men provided with carrier pigeons.
The reporters who went with Ma Glad-
stone had it regular "pigeon man" with
thein. When Mr. Gladstone delivered
speeches from his carriage the reporters
wrote their reports on thin tissue sheets,
"flimsy," and passed them to the pigeon
man. The sheets were attached to th e
pigeon& legs by rubber bands and the birds
set free. The birds performed excellent
service hi carrying the matter to neighbor-
ing cities or telegraph centres, as they
had been trained. On several oeeasions,
however, on fine, warm days, the birds
alighted on roofs and sunned themselves for
an hour or so, while the pigeon man tried to
coax them in so as to file his copy, aud the
matter they carried had to be left out of
the latest editions.
An English woman sued the Midland
Railway Company for compensation for
the loss of her husband, who was killed in
an accident on that road, and recovered
damages. Thereupon the company, which
had sold him an accident. insurance policy
with his ticket, contended that, the amount
of this insurance should he deducted from
the damages awarded, since if he had died
a uatural death, the widow would have re-
ceived nothing on a policy of that nature.

Iu 1891 1,168 persons were killed on rail-
ways in the British isles, according to the
report of the British Board of Trade. Of
these only 108 were passengers, and mote
than 400 were persons neither passengers
nor employees, the number including tree -

passenger trips, exclusive of those made On
season tickets, was 845,463,668, which is

THE NAME " AMERICA."
Where and When it Originated.
It was not until 1837 that Alexander von
Humboldt, in his critical examination of the
history and geography of the New World,
pointed out the real culprit, and showed be-
yond question that the name " America, "
was first suggested in a small Win treatise
on cosmography, writteu by one Martin
Waldseemuller, and publishe 1 during the
year 1507 at Stunt Die, a village situated in
the upper valley of tho river Meurthe in
southeastern Lorraine. This little book
en titled Cosmographiao In trod u ctio—Intro-
duotion to Costnography—and the story of
its authorship and publication, ate the un-
foreseen part that it played in christening
the western hemisphere, forms one of the
roost curious narratives la the whole record
of bibliography. Whether Humboldt made
this interesting discovery by more accident
of research, or was led to it by Foscarini or
Bandini—who in two successive edi-
tions of Wines had noted the sugges-
tive passage in the Cosmographiae, withl
out apparently comprehending its rem -
importance —cantiot now be ascertain-
ed. However this may have been' it was
the author of Cosmos who first tookup seri-
ously:the task of vindicating the long- malign-
ed Florentine, and in so doing threw nito
the arena a topic in the discussion of which
bibliographers have ransacked libraries,
labored and disputed, until the whole line of
eviience has been developed, arranged, and
the demonstration made complete. A pub-
lication which in the dim early twilight of
American history made the little hamlet of
&tint Die the godmother of our mighty con-
tinent is an object of no ordinary interest
to the people of this continent, and this
fourth centenary of Columbus's discovery
would seem to be a fitting momeut in which
to bring together in sim le narrative form
the snhsta,nce of what is known concerning
the Cosmographies: itself, the men by whcan
it was written and published, the place
where they lived, and the motive by which
their work was inspired.
