Ed win Arnold says On the male and female side equallyit is Scotland that boasts the gift of Gladstone to his country's history. It was a Clydesdale family that 'bred him, a line of Lairdsholding large -estates in the 16th century. From these sprang some prosperous inaltsters, father and bon, who aettled at Lanark, and had among their descendants corn merchants 'that migrated to Leith, one of whom, John, became wealthy and important and married se Robertson, of Dingwall, in Orkney, which lady is proudly traced in our peerage books to Bruce, of Bannockburn, so that Scotland owns, as I say, both channels of.Mr. Gladstone's blood. John, Gladstone was a great friend of the famous George Canning, whom Mr. Gladstone roust often have seen at his father's table In fact, it was there, and under Canning's im- mediate influence, that he imbibed those early Tory principles—never really rooted one from hie nature—which made him at the beginning of Lis career the glory and the hope of the Church and.Conserva- *iv° party. At Eton he got his .Greek and Latin, and got them so thoroughly, with the help of three studious years following at Oxford, that when 1 have once or twice tiered secretly to test him in capping ,Greek and Roman hexameters from the lc mad" and " Oayssey" I have been perfectly abashed and astonished at the niperior range and .grafip of his .scholastic memory. At the university he took a hmh degree, and .ofttimos flashed the sword of his maiden .eloquenoe in the Union Debating Society. Thence also he derived and deepened those HighChurch priociples that have always draped them- selves like an intellectual alband chasuble over the shifting garments of his later opinions. Indeed, his mind took so strong bent ecclesiastically that he had seriously designed himself at one time for them/lurch, and woeht probably have become Arch- bisimp of Canterbury if Canning laa.dootput him into the pocket borough of Newark.

DECORATED OLD SOLDIERS. How to ICnow the War Medals They Wear, HONORS WON IN BBITISH BATTLES. How many of the general public who throng the streetof the oily daily can, when they meet a commissionaire, or a aoldier, wearing medals, tell from those medals what campaigns they have fought in, and where they have seen service? Not a very large percentage, I think. And yet it is not difficult, for you have only to glance at the ribbon by which the medal is suspended and you oatt at once tell. This ribbon varies in color and design with eacb medal, and is a sure guide to the coanierign. For individual battles you must go °loon and inspect the bars, or clasps, whith oross the ribbon above the medal and form an essential part of the decoratiom Bearing these facts in mind, let us take a Ora, through the eity and see what we can find out. Here comes a man wearing a silver medal, with a blue and white striped ribbon, and a gun-metal pear, with a dark blue ribbon. These two decorations always go together, and have boa given for all Egyptian cam- paigns since 1882. The medal, which ha on the elevens eide the Queen's bead, an on the reverse the Sphinx, supereeribe "Egypt," is given by the British Govern moot, and the ritar—known as thci 4 Khe dive's Star"—is given by the Ees,yptia Government. This star has the Pyramid and Sphinx on one side end the star an crescent on the other. The medal boasts o a good number of clasps, the chief one being " Alexandria " (the bombardment) " El Teb," " Tamaiti " (General Graham' two vietozies over Osman Digna), "Th Nile, 1884.1885," " Abuklea," " inane kan," " Suakim, 1884," " Suakina, 1885, and " Tofrek." Our next commiesionaire is an older man/ and wears three iimdals. The first of these beam the Queen's head, and is suspended by a pale -blue ribbon, with yellow edges. lf we could see the reverse, we should End therein' an armed warrior, holding in one hand a laurel wreath, and in the other a round shield, with the Britieh lion walking' across it, the whole accompanied by the magic word "Crimea:" No further explana- tion of this medal is necessary the story of; the Crimea is too well known to need re- capitulation. Suffice it to say there are, four clasps--" Alma," " Bislaolava," Ina kerman " and "Sebastopol." This medal may easily be recognized ley its .clasps, which, instead of being straight, as in all other medals, are 4urved and 'ornamented with acorns. The next of the three reedale hags irom O red ribbon with green edges, and need.,not delay us long. It is the Turkish Crimean medal given by the Sultan's Government to the British, French and Sardinian troops who fought in the Crimea. The third and last medal has a red and white striped rib- bon, and is a souvenir of one of •the most critical periods in our Indian history, for it is the Mutiny mecIaL It is remarkable as being the only war medal 'given alike to soldiers and civilians; it was awarded to all who bore arms against the rebels. Its clasps are five, viz., "Central India," "Lucknow," "Relief of Lucknow," "Defence .of Luck - now," and "Delhi" A few steps farther and we meta man wearing, like the first, a silver medal and a bronze etar, but with different ribbons. The medal has a green ribbon edged with crimson, and the star has the " rainbow " ribbon. This is the Afghan medal for the war of 1878-80, and hat six clasps, viz. : "Kandahar," " Ahmed Mak" ." Chare- siab," " Petwar Kotal," " Alt Musjid," and " Cabul." The star was given to the star was given to the troops who took part in Sir Frederick Robert's famous march from Cabul to Kandahar (Auguetalst,18801) and is therefore known as "Robert's star." Another medal frequently seen liangs from a blue and red striped ribbon, and is known as the Indian General 'Service Medal." It has been issued for all the minor campaigns, and bears a number ,of lasps, commencing with Pegu. " ((the Burmese War of 1852), and finishing with "Chin Lushai, 1889-90." include the Burmese wars of 1877-78 and 1887,89, the 'Persian War of 1856-57, the Umbeyla and Bhootan campaigns, etc. Other medals that may be seen about the city are the Ashantee medal, with a black mil yellow ribbon and one clasp for " Coo- massie " ; the Abyssinian medal, with a white -edged crimson ribbon and no clasps; the new Zealand medal, for the wars from 1845 to 1866, bearing a blue ribbon, with a broad red stripe in the centre; the South 'African medal, whose ribbon is yellow, with dark blue stripes, and whose clasps bear tit date cd the campaign instead of th" name of the engagements; and th China medal for the wars of 1842 (Opium. War) and 1857-60, with a crimson ribbon, -yellow edged. These are the principal medals of modern times, and are those most frequently to be seen. There are others commemorating earlier campaigns, but as they are rarely seen, need not be described here. Such are the Scinde medal of 1843, the Gwalior star, the Sudej and Punjaub medals for the first and second Sikh Wars, and the earlier Afghan medals. One more tnedal, and that a not unim- portant one. It bears a trophy of arms on the obverse, and on the reverse the words "For long service and good conduct." Its ribbon is plain crimson. It was authorized by William IV. on July 30th, 1830, and is O development of the regimental long sera vice medal instituted by the Northumber- land Fusiliers in 1767. With this reward far long and efficient service we will close this brief sketch of our soldiers' war medals.—London Tid Bits. What She wore.

Coining Spring Bonnets: Milliners predict that large hats and small bonnets will have the same vogue given them during the springmonths that lhas been shown them all winter, writes Mrs. Isabel A. Mallon in her timely article on "Pretty Things for Toilet and Toilette." in the March Ladies' Home Journa2. How- ever, a medium-sized poke bonnet will cer- tainly be one of the features of the summer. On the broad -brimmed picture hats loaded with feathers, Mademoiselle puts a bit of color in the form of a velvet flower, pink or sapphire -blue being most fancied. If possi- ble, this ie placed under the brim just in front, so that it rests on the hair, and looks most coquettish. If the shape will not per- mit this, then the flower may be nestled among the plumes themselves, and look out cozily and effectively from their darkness. A hab that is just now very popular in England, and which will undoubtedly obtam here, is of fine black straw with a somewhat low, square crown and a rolling brim, that is, a brim after the fashion of the English walking bat. The only triznming is a broad bend of white satin ribbon quite the height of the crown; it is drawn around smoce hly. and the two.ends lap over each other jot in front, a long slender jet buckle seeming to fasten it. Somewhat severe in shape, these hats will only be becoming to women wbo do not need to show their bangs to soften their faces. Temppranee Items. In Syria there is a W. 0. T. U. of 500 members. The W.

I was sit- ting in the waiting -room oh the Canadian paoino Railroad, wetting for the ears to oorne, 1.3resently they came rumbling in. I asked, the porter if it vette the night train for Brandoe, lie said yes. So I put my truun in, and got in myself. I heard the bell go, and we were off. I laid myself down on the goat and fell esleep in a jiffy, It was not until 5 &clean the next morning that I was awakened by the Stepping of the train. I got up and asked what was the matter. They said they did not know, so n looked out of the window and I could see isi a minute we were in a gorge between two rocky mountains, and that further on was a curve round the peak. A Yankee who was lying down said: "Shall we get out ?" " We cannot," said I, "we are on the only line in a gorge between two rocky mountains." Presently we began to move backwards, then forward till we got around the peak, Then the Yankee said, "lam going to get out." I said I would go with him, We went together and got on to the engine and asked what was the matter. "Why," said the engine driver, "just as we got into this gorge I saw some smoke coming over the peak to this aide. I guessed in a minute it was the smoke of an engine, so I whistled, and then hunted, and When I got bath a few yards 1 saw her coming round the peak. It only just 'stopped in time. Our engine was only a few yards from the other, and if it had not been for iny eyes we should all have been killed, for we could not have got out with mountains on both sides of us, and only a single line. As it was, they nave got to ehunt back seven miles to a 'aide lige." This was the end of his explanation; and .after he had given U we went back and told the rest what had happened. ONTA,BIO EXPIIESS DEAD. The Company Insolvent and Ordered to be Wound Fp. The history of the Ontario Express and Transportation Company as an active insti- tution is at an end. Thursday, before Justice Meredith, W. A. H. Duff, a Hamilton lawyer, presented a petition from Riohard R. Hart, a judgment creditor of the company for $824, praying that a liquidator be appointed and the com- pany wound up. Mr. Thomson, of Hamil- ton on behalf of the company, consented and the order declaring insolvency was made. The liabilities are now stated to be $640,060, and the assets $22,000, and the unpaid capital stock, of which only ten per oat. can be called in every three months on what has not been surrendered. The =surrendered stook amounts to $180,000, and if it could be collected would more than pay the liabilities. Those who surrendered their shares under the A.ct of last session are, of course, relieved of further liability. Messrs. Duf and Thomson were the legal men who oppossed liquidation a few weeks ago when two of the Toronto creditors wanted the company wound up. Samuel Chadwick, the Toronto agent of the com- pany, though opposed to liquidation for- merly, is now in favor of it, and his affidavit WKS filed. G. H. Kilmer appeared for certain other creditors who consented to liquida- tion. The Hamilton men asked a reference to Hamilton, but Justice Meredith decided that the proceedings will be taken before .Thos. Hodgins, Q. C., Master -in -Ordinary, as the headquarters of the fiem were here. H. S. Stephens, of Townsend & Stephens, was appointed provisional liquidator. The liquidator will be chosen at a later stage after the oreditors have been called to- gether. MIGHT AS WELL BE CAIN. It Is No Ilse Ringing the Telephone Bell More Than Once. The following little explanation may, perhaps, be of interest to those who occa- sionally get wroth when the Central office does not immediately respond to their call upon the telephone, and by way of tidding themselves of an excess of temper they ring as hard as they can. Occasionally, when the busy operator is delayed momentarily, and upon answering the call, is angrily in- foemed that the speaker has been ringing for ten or fifteen minutes, he allows himself to indulge in a smile. This is because so far as the effect in the centrel office is concerned, he might as well have continued to ring for another ten or fifteen minutes, for, after the fall of the little drop coveringthe telephone number, the repeatedringing is not audible in the slightest degree to the operator. Ile sees the drop down, and answers it as gine ly as possible, and the continued sounds of the bell have no terrors, therefore, for him. The operators say there is a prevalent idea that this bell ringing acts upon them in the same manner that a view of Torqueznada's pleasant appliances used to affect the nerves of the persoes upon whom they were shortly to be exercised. This fallacy has never been greatly discouraged, for the possible reason that if a man can ring a bell and think he is worrying some- body at the other end, he doesn't swear. Ills Share of the Work.

A Cartersville, Ga., despatch says: Rufus Collins, who paid a negro $50 to kill his wife, has been convicted of murder. Col- lins was a well-to-do farmer of North Caro- lina. He fell in love with a neighbor's daughter, but his wife was in the way. He then moved into Georgia, buying a farm twenty miles from here. One day a negro farm-hand shot and 'killed Mrs. Collins. The widower took her body to the old house in North Carolina. There suspicion was aroused, and an investigation developed that Collins had hired the negro to kill her.

That Tire Feeling Is a dangerous condition directly due to depleted or impure blood. It should not be allowed to continue, as in its debility the systeni is especially liable to serious attacks of illness. It is re- markable how beneficial Hood's Sarsa- parilla is in this enervating:state. Pos- sessing just those elements which the system needs and readily seizes, this medicine purifies the blood, and im- parts a feeling of strength and self-con- fidence. Hood's Sarsaparilla is the best remedy for that weakness which pre- vails at change of season, climate or life. "1 believe it is to the use of Hood's Sarsaparilla that I owe my present health. In the spring, I got so com- pletely run down I could not eat or sleep, and all the dreaded diseases of life seemed to have a mortgage on my system. I was obliged to abandon my work, and after seeking medical treat- ment and spending over $50 for different preparations, I found myself no better. Then my wife persuaded me to try a bottle of Hood's Sarsaparilla. Before the firet bottle was gone I began to amend. I have now used two bottles and have gained ne pounds.
