A TEST O SCIPLINE.
Lieutenant Wolseley's Adventur
in a Shipwreck.
English annals show many fine ex
amples of discipline in disaster a
sea, and both the army and the navy
share in the credit of them. Mos
persons remember the magnifica
courage and coolness displayed by th
men of the ill-fated Victoria, whi
was ranntned by the Camperdown
.1893. Lord Wolseley, In his recen
autobiography, tells how he one
tame near sharing' such a fate wit
his men on board the Transit, boon
for India, when. she struck a rock i
a dead calm. Ito was a young lie
tenant then, but his vivid recollectio
of the event has not waned in' near
half a century.
"The bugles sounded ous regiment

it was my company's luck to be the
unfortunate occupants when the ship
struck. Upon reaching that dread
ful_lower region I formed the men
half on the opposite side of the deck.
There we. stood in deadly silence,
and I know not for how long. The
abotninable candle in the lantern sput-
tered and went out. We were in
almost absolute darkness, our only
g1irnmer of light coining down
through a small hatchway which was
reached by a narrow ladder. The
ship began to sink by the stern, so
it was evident to all that we hung
on a rock forward. The angle of our
deck with the sea -level became gradu-
ally greater until at last we had to'

If children aro cross, or fretful, or
s1e03)less, in ninety-nine times out of

and the little one will be bright,
good-natured, and will sleep soundly
and naturally. There is just one al-
ways absolutely safe medicine for lit-
tle ones—Baby's Own Tablets. In

there areno sickly, cross, crying chil-
dren. The Tablets will cure all the
minor ills of little ones, and will do
it safely and speedily -there is no
doubt about this. Give the Tablets

thusiastic about then as other mo-

medicine for children and I gladly
recommend then to other mothers."

NOT SO VERY QUIET.
"Yes, Jimson's wedding was a

Jimson in the left ear with a bag
