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

FAITHFUL UNTO DEATH.
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

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

OUT 01? "CASTE."
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."

Can Regain Health
READ THIS VERY CAREFULLY.
"For 3 -ears I was .thin ;arid 'delicate,
I lost color and waseasily tired; a
yellow pallor, pimples and blotches on
my face were not only mortifying to
lay feelings, but because 1 thought my
skin would never look nice again I
grew despondent. Then my appetite
failed. 1 grew very weak. Various
remedies,' pills, tonics . and tablets I
tried "without pernxanent. benefit. A
visit to my sister put into my hande.
a box of Dr, Hamilton's Pills. She
placed reliance upon them and now
that they have made me a well woman
I would not be without them whatever
they ' might cost. I found Dr.

delights in "tripping the light fan-

which he was always famous. He

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

rated by race and religion. The
Belgians are Celts, Welsh, and
Bretons, 'while the Hollanders .are
of the Teutonic or German stock.
The Belgians ;are• mostly Boman
Oabholies, and until '•recently were
mainly farmers oultivating small
tracts. The Dutch are G.aivinistio,
in religion, . and .are merohants,
manufacturers, sailors and fisher-
men. The Belgians adhered to
Spain mor: of the time the Dutch
provinces were fighting for inde-
pendence. Belgium then ,passed un-
der Austrian rule, but at the con -
elusion of the Napoleonic wars, wan
united with Holland into a king-
dom The Dutch rule was distaste-
ful, and in x830 the Belgians broke
away and established an independ-
ent kingdom.
The development of iron, coal and
zinc ,industries has •made Belgium
one of thegreat manufacturing cen-
tres of the world and vastly in-
creased her population. She is the
only country in Europe -that is in-
cre,asing by immigration. In 1840
the population was only 4,337,000
and is now 1,,,000,000. Belgium is
the most densely populated country
in Europe, averaging 600 people to
the mile. Her area is 1L,373 square
miles. The Belgian army has a
peace strength of 42,800, and a war
strength of 180,000. The army is
well. drilled 'and well -armed.
Belgium has been the battle-
ground of Europe since the begin-
ning of
egin-ning"of history, Caesar opened the.
game a8 years before .Ohrist_ by
fighting the Belgian Gauls. Nearly.
every generation since then has
seen French, German, ,Spaniards,
