The Battle` of Sedan Proved' the 11[ost Disastrous for the French. When the Prussians under Kaiser Wilhelm I.a with Count Bismarck and Gen, Von Moltke, started the movement against Paris f(rrty-four years ago, the German troopsmet fierce assistance. It took the Get.-, pians six months to capture the '3'renoh capital. The first order to mobilize the Prussian army was given by Kaiser Wilhelm L, July 15th, 1870. Prance declared war four, days •later, Three. armies were put in the field by the Prussians, The first was under Gen. Von 'Steinmetz near Trevor, the •second under Prince Frederick Charyrles in the Reinish Palatizi.ate, and the third under Crown Prince of Prussia on the frontier of Baden, Fiifteen days after the mobilization order had been given, Prussia had 520,000 mien under .arms.. On Belgian Frontier. x . A line 100 miles long from 'Mount - wady on the Belgian frontier to Bel - fort, at the junction. of the Swiss and 'German borders, was covered by an army of 350,000 men under r• •Napoleon II,I. The French army was divided into eight army corps with Marshal MacMahon command- er-in-chief, ommanderin-chief, near +Strassburg, Em- peror Napoleon left Paris July 28 to take command at iMetz, and Aug. 2 Kaiser Wilhelm with • Count Bis- marok and Count Von Moltke took the field with ,headquarters at Maniz. Saarbrucken was attacked and captured • Aug. 2. by Froussard. France was invaded .by the German crown prince Aug. 1. He engaged the French uajaer Douey at Weis senburg •and'' rove, them back after a terriffio five-hour, fight, in which the losses were heavy on both sides. Again two days later . the crowd prince engaged the French. This time he met. Mao'Mahon's men at labern, and :forced them to retreat in disorder. Steinmetz, in the meantime, routed Frossard's corps at ISpichern, driving the . French back to Metz ,and Porbach. Alsace Abandoned. Following these disastrous de- feats the eight French corps were consolidated into two armies, one tinder `-Bazaine at Metz and . the other under MacMahon at Chalons. It was shortly thereafter that the 'i arthern part of Alsace was abandt ned, while the French re- treated; along the Moselle. On Aug. 8 the crown prince left Worth to push . on through the passes of Vosages to Nancy. He en- tered the city Aug. 16. 'In the meantime Steinmetz was the most active: man in the. German army. He took Forbach Aug. 7, St. Alvord Aug. 9, and on the 14th was near Metz. In the battle of ,Colombey- Noully, Gen. Von Moltke prevent- ed the junction of the two retreat- ing French armies. Bent on the capture of Metz, Prince Frederick Charles took para of his army via Saarbrucken ` ,and part through S;aargemund, and Aug. 16 drove Bazaine back on Cre- lorrw. He was defeated on the 18th and cornered in the • fortifications at Metz. Surrendered at Sedan. On Aug. 19 the Prussians formed a .Fourth army to move rapidly_ through the plains of.Champegne to ,Paris. The crown prince of !Saxony was placed in charge of this fourth command.

Wonderful Heroism of aL Young. Soldier. "One of the .bravest acts I wit- nessed during the whole war," said an officer in the American Civil War, "was that of a young solclier, who was probably not over sixteen. We had thought of him Its only a boy, although he went .with the regiment on all of its marches, and lived with ids in all its encamp- ments. "One day there was a fierce en- gagement In the midst of it a, bullet struck this boy in the breast, and he fell. Our colonel ordered his mien to dismount, land as he himself sprang from his horse, the boy called out in a weak woke, 'I will hold your horse, colonel!' • "Stopping in tele midst of the storm of- bullets to gaze in piety on. the white, boyish ,face, the, colonel said, 'But.you can't do that, }ed— am are dying?. • ' t0 `I know I axtf,.00ldnel,' the gal- lant boy replied. `Burt .I cam bold the reins when I am dead.' 'The colonel placed the' bridle; in the trembling hands and went for- ward. When .the fight was over, he hurried back, and found" the boy lying dead, the bridle reins still wrapped tightly round .. his, 1in),P right hand. KEEP CHILDREN WELL DURING HOT WEATHER Every moth,er knows howfatal the hot summer months are to small children'. • Choleras' infantum, diar- rhoea, dysentr'y and stomach trou- bles are rife ,at this time, ,and often a precious "little life is',•.1ost .after, only a few bo•ur+s' illness. The mo- ther who keeps Baby's Own Tablets in the house -feels safe. The occa- sional use of the Tablets prevent stomach and bowel troubles, or if the trouble comes suddenly—as it generally does the Tablets will bring baby safely through.

An Instance ol: the Sttperstition of the Native, Indian. Many people, unless actually fa- miliar with ,the ways and customs of the native of India, have little idea as to hew superstitious many of these people are, especially with re- gard to their "caste" system. Not very long: ago, a• coolie, Whilst passing through the jungle, was suddenly atitacked and most se- verely mauled by a bear. His com- rades, however, • ,although ^they knew that afew miles distant there was a well-equipped hospital, ::con- veyed him to a, village close by, where he was kept without mediitatl assistance of any kind and in a blazing hot sun tor athree days,. When eventually brought into •hospital the man'splight may be better imagined than described. The surgeon .and his assistants managed to keep hien. ,alive; but his Face is so disfigured that he is known in the district as the ` rea,che. wallah" (bear man). The most extraordinary thing about this case is, that the unfor- tunate person tvais, during the time he lary in ,hospital, oonsidered by the fraternity to be unclean, with the result that hie own wife was, through attending to hips require- tnents, thrown out of "caste."

Horace Brand, first Lord Farqu- har, is not merely one of f the luck- iest ofmortalsin point of worldly prosperity; he is even luckier in the, possession of one of those sunny natures to whom life ` seems "one long sweet song." At three score years and ten Lord Farquhar still delights in "tripping the light fan- tastic,'' an accomplishment. foe which he was always famous. He started life with a good name and a, fine constitution, : but little else. The possibility of his ever being doubly a baronet, and a member Lord Farquhar. of the House of : Lords, could not have been within the scope of his wildest dreams. There wasn't money enough in thefamily to send him to Oxford or Cambridge, so they put him into Forbes, Forbes, and Co.'s where -the "Chief" smiled kindly upon the young clerk, and saw that he rose. Sir Charles Forbes, the head of the firm, was the baronet of Newe, and so. the Farquhars had in him a goodfriend. For many years Horace Farquhar - remained "in the City !" Eventually he got into touch with. Scott's'aBank, and having ultimately achieved the headship of Forbes's, he migrated to Scotts, and became burra-sahib there, too. Lord Farquhar is almost the last of the particular .friends of King Edward who figures p'ominently in the present reign. Lord Valentia., King Edward's Comptroller of the E[y. ISSU'l, 45—'14.
