She was weak and irritable, end we thought she was going into a de- cline. For three weeks she has been taking a course of Scott's Sarsaparilla.., which was recommended to her by Mr. McGa1e, Druggist, Montreal, Her head - eche is now but a memory, her appetite is good, and she has gained five pounds in weight its twelve days, She is a different woman, and I feel that you, in God's hands, have been the means of re- storing her to health. I shall always recommend Scott's Sarsaparilla to suffer- ers from head or digestive troubles. Thanking you again, I close. Yours sincerely, Hortense Gaviliere. Scott's Sarsaparilla is a concentrated extract, pleasant to the taste, and is taken in small doses, It is the finest remedy for disorders of the stomach and liver, 1pitation, scrofulous sores, eczema and sin diseases arising from impurities of the blood, It builds up the weak, the strong it maintains in health. 31 of all druggists, mold by C.

Looking at it frons the dreary sandy plain from whft'h the theaters that over looked the tragedy of Saturday had dis- appeared in a night, as though they were palaces in the "Arabian Nights," no one would believe that the camp could be such an attractive place, and erose access to it is prevented for the general public is widely scattered ved- ettes and by well -planted sentries. But the arid plain, which but three weeks ago I had to describe as a sticky swamp is on its further side planted with acacias and other trees, through which leadshady walks, and in which are deftly hidden the headquarters offices. These are permanent, though wooden, buildings, and in every one of them work was going on -work of routine, but none the less assiduously pursued. The furniture is of the roughest,aud, yet in every apartment there hangs THE SACRED PICTURE without which a Russian house would not be recognizable -a pezpetual re- minder of a life that is to cows, I was rather surprised to find colnnton soldi ers and corporals engaged in clerical work, such as copylee and minutitlg, having regard to the backward state of education !n Russia, but I found the army is the great eedueator of the men folks, and as service is compulsory for three years, though not every man call- ed is chosen, since in, peace time the contingents are always vastly in excess of the numbers prepared for the bud- gets the system of teat•hing a man dur- inglass service, at least the elements of reading and writing tends to :spread by degrees through the community a knowcedge of two of the three It's, as the old saying used to run. Besides, every Russian peasant knows how to count and count closely, at least his money and his goods, be they grain, or wood, or bestial produces. And if n soldier shows anything more than the average capacity, he is encourag- ed to go on, with a view to promotion, which is only given to men who show a certain amount of intelligence. Here among fair samples of the army generally 1 found what is a. tradition of the guards, thatt at the expiration of their threes or rather two and a half years' service, the men are almost in- variably indisposed to return to their villages, which, separated at so great distances, must seem bntheir return very dull and prosy even to such an af- feetionate paopte as the Muscovites have the name of being.; However, there is no doubt a very large proportion of ev- ery regiment always les pitifully for leave to stay on feeluag with the old British soldier in the mutiny, who said: "The regiment is my father and my mother, my sister, my brother, and all my blood relations." It is useless to pretend that the troops of the line or the artillery, or the cavalry, are equal to the guards, who are PICKED HIEN coming from all parts of the empire, and having nothing in common but their height and chest measurement and their attachment to their officers. In the line men often come from the same place, have been playfellows to- gether us childhood, and may be seen walking about the streets hand in hand, just as Orientals do all the world over who have known each other well. There is, indeed, a great difference even in the same battalions, as great a difference as we see in the troops at Aldershot when they have not had time to feel the building up of the frame that ensues upon the new system of cooking. And the Ruussian soidiers are nothing like so well fed as ours, which I do not hesitate to describe as now the best provided army in the world. The troops of the czar get about a farthing a day pay; otherwise they have everything provided for tb.erna It is not abundant ne our sense of the word: The bread is brown, or rather black with a large arge proportion of rye, without which the man of mujik origin would not care for it, as en ikes it a trifle sour: His allowance of meat is about half ours and that not of the best quality is we judge and what there is comes to him practically always in the form of soup, with vegetables en it, and with with more or less of the meat in each portion,so far as it can be made to go. However, if he does not get much to masticate, he at any rate gets all there is of good in it, bones and fat together, especially fat. The days are long past when the mujik of the towns had an op- portunity of swarming up the lamp- posts to drink the whale or seal oil with which the streets use to be light- ed, and that he did this I have been s•nred by many old residents, native and foreign ; but now the streets are lighted, where not with electric lamps, then with Baku oil, and that is a trifle too strong even for the stomach of a mujik. But he still likes his fa.t, and the soup, he consumes fairly SWIMS IN GREASE. It would not be palatable soup to bins else,. With this and his black bread he thrives ontwo meals a day, and be can go and do a long day's work without waiting for a meal at all. In a word, he is a gross feeder seed a hard worker. He is also fairly quick at picking up drill, and even shows intelligence in the extension movements when he has been put through the hard grind, first, of barrack parade.! He is smart, too, with Uta manual exercise, and he is now to be better trained in shooting. I have no hesitation in saying that in the neat campaign the Russian sol- dier' will be a better shot than he has ever been before,and this not only in the infantry, hut ies the cavalry,. It is no secret to those who know Russian officers that they will leave behind them their lances next time and go in as a sortof mounted infazltryt the old idea of dragoons.; To this end the cavalry are trt>sieel Ito the rifle, and not the carbine, and they will far THE EXETER TIMES SOIIE OLD TIME PIRATES more often fight on foot than on horse- back, But I cannot find that, in Spite of the extent of the country, they have yet been provided with proper ranges. Those of which I have heard do not ex- ceed 500 meters, or under 550 yards, and shootingat that distance will be of very ltle use in a future war, seeing the tremendously increased Lower of artillery. As regards the latter arm, I am un- able to say in, praise either of the force I have seen as a whole of its nobility. Of course, it is a high standard by which to try any artillery to regard them from the point of view of either Woolwich or Aldershot., But there must be a standard and without in- cluding the artillery of the guard,which is better, it must be frankly said the Russian guns are very poorly horsed, poorly ridden and decidedly deficientfn mobility, for their horses are not as good as even those of the Turks, or, to go a step lower, of the Belgians, The guns are not kept clean in the sense that an Eng111sh critic expects, but there is very good material in THE RUSSIAN ARTILLERY, and one who ought to know tells me it 'hakes very fair field practice. 11ost of the cavalry, ton, x sunderhors- ed. The beasts are not se overweighted as ours, hut they are too Much on the Wass of the Cossack pony, They will endure and do well where an English or an Irish horse would starve, but they can never have the pace or the weight that tells: However, since we are to look on all the cavalry as in the light of mourned infantry, save some regiments of the guards, there is no doubt the horses are good enough to take the men from point to point, and to be very patient when they g e t there, which is the ravre surprising when we cvusider they are nearly all entices. The. housing, if I may fuse the ex- pression, of the troops in the camp seems to nee very good: A wall of turf is built up about two feet high, and soma twelve feet square. When this is nicely finished a quare tent is set over it of lighter material than our canvas, but still watertight, and if a channel is cut for drainage away from the door no rain can get 'inside, and, at least, the floor of the tent is dry*., The men have ohauges of clothing, and now they have begun to live in the camp, and go through their drill in white summer uniforms, which, at present have a very clean appearance. How long it will last I cannot tell, but Judging by the uniforms that have done duty ihruugh the winter there is not much to he hoped for ill this respect, The officers are almost uniformly kind to the men, whom they treat as a lot! of children; but only a small number of them study their trade, and so they all have a passion for deeorationswhieh' they should hardly 1* able to obtain' except by distinguishing themselves in their business.

Touching incident In the Life of One of There Children• A new charity has lately been started in one or two of our largest cities, One of the city sights almost as common on the back street as the newsboy in the business centre, is the little girl --she may be seven years old, she may be twelve -with a baby tossed over her shoulder. Thin, hungry -looping, often scantily clad, never playing herseif, but always looking on at others having a „rood time, the little mother --the baby's elder sister --represents a life of devotion that ie apparently borne with- out complaint. Every moment watching her charge, that would be a burden to an older person -waiting longingly for the real mother to come bane at night from her lone day's work to give the relief which too often is not given, -the little mo- ther is the embodiment of suffering fi- delity that rarely fails to excite sym- pathy in the thoughtful observer. Pure sympathy has found expression incl. society formed far the purpose of taking• the babies off the little mo- thers' hands, so as now and then to give ehese elder sisters a much needed out- ing and rest. It was a happy inspira- tion that concerned this charity, which possibly was suggested by A TOUCHING INCIDENT that occurred some time ago in New York. There was an alarm of fire in one of the crowded tenement regions. Great colmmn5 of smoke arose from the up- per windows of an apartment -house, and when the engines arrived a por- tion of its hallway seas in flames. By this time most of the tenants were in the street. In one of the groups of families gathered there, a girl of nine suddenly clapped her hands to her head, and cried out: "0 mother! where's the baby?" The mother had not thought of the child, as she bad not been accustomed to care for it. She supposed that, as usual, the baby's older sister had it in charge, and instead of blaming her- self for neglect, she blamed the little mother with hysterical severity. "I tboaeht Tom had him, mother," said the girl, patiently, "but I can get him." Before any one thought of stopping her, she darted past the firemen, and through the smoke corning from the door, Into the burning building. Up two flights of stairs she ataggered, groped for a familiar room, and there she found the baby. Thoughtless as usual for herself, she rolled him irci thick blankets, and began the terri- ble descent to the street. By this time a fireman was sent to look for her, but was driven back by the SNORE AND FLAMES. In intense excitement the crowd wait- ed. The seconds seemed hours. When the little mother and her baby had been almost given up as lost, a figure shot tltrota h the smoke- through the crumbling door, and corning to the outer air, stood. still, Strong arms hur- ried. to support her, but she said san- Aly r "Take the baby." Although her hair was singed, and her face bunting red with heat, she seemed to be miraculously preserved. There she stood and stared. Then a loud wail burst from her parched lips. "Oh my 1 0 mother 1 mother I What is the matter with me ? I cannot see!" The fire had smitten the little heroine blind -and blind for life. The same situation alight call forth a similar brave deed of love in many a home. It should , be remembered, however, that the one noble act is no more worthy of commendation than was the patient fidelity that went be- fore it in the every -day service of the "little mother."

Piracy on the high seas has become a thing of the past. Civilized nations, with their warships, have made it pos- sible for every class of vessels to plow the watery main without danger of be- ing overhauled by a band of barbarous freebooters. The pirates of old ere no. more; their cruel vocation is gone. But,. while they existed, their daring excited admiration, while their barbar- ity thrilled every human being with horror. Old sailors spin peculiar yarns about some of the pirates, and their supposed fabulous wealth. WHEN ORGANIZED, Looking backward upon those old times when it was necessary for every merchant shipto carry guns 'to proteot herself against the depredations of the marauders of the sea, it will prove of. interest to r cull some of their exploits. The freebooters, or pirates, commenc- ed their organized work about the year 1600, and continued their depredations until this present century was well ad- v d ante . Inf act in i texts n parts of the Chinese Sea there are at present num- erous Chinese piratical crafts, and at intervals foreign vessels fall a prey to the diabolical cruelty and stink -balls, The first pirates raesaoked ships in Spanish-American waters. They made; themselves formidable and dreaded one, metes of that nation's merchant marine service. SCOTT, TiIE ENGLISH PIRATE. Lewis Scott, an Eughshman, was one of the first daring freebooters whose name sent a thrill a terror into the heart of every sea Captain. He not only pillaged ships on the ocean, but also invaded towns, carried off women and ransacked the treasury of the cora- inanity. One of his first notable acts of outawry was his invasion of the city of St. Francis of Campeehy. Be sad- denly appeared one night in that city with a brutal band of followers at his command. lie pillaged the town, car- ried off women and demanded a heavy ransom for the captures. This exam- ple of Scott"s was followed by.Toho )avis, a native of Jamaica, Wst In- dies, who, with one ship and 90 men, attempted an act the audacity of which excites admtration and astonishment, FREEBOOTERS' CAPTURE. Davis landed near Nicaragua in the seventeenth century, leaving his ships at anchor guarded by 10 men ; the re- mainder he distributed into three can- oes. Availing himself of the darkness of the night he sailed up the river which leads to the city of Granada. They were challenged by.a sentinel, to whom they spoke Spanish and were. passed as fishermen. After disem- barking without encountering any ob- stacles Davis and his crew fell upon the soldiers, who had peaceably wt. ssen their landing, The attackd= den and unexpected that the whole ,of the soldiers were mn'tsacred before they had time to make any effort to pro- tect themselves. After the bloody deed had been committed they dispersed themselves throughout the town and pillaged houses and churches. Cries of terror resounded on every side. MADE AN ADMIRAL. But the Davis gang offered no vio- lence to the inhabitants of Nicaragua. The booty. secured by the pirates on this occasion amounted to several thou- sand dollars. After this adventure Dav- is returned to Jamaica, where a fleet of eight ships, of which John Davis was appointed Admiral by his comrades, was fitted out, and the whole started on a pillaging expedition. WALKING THE PLANK. The pirates of old, after overhauling ss ship, would push a plank over the side. All the orew of the captured ves- sel were forced to walk the plank. This was a horrible custom. At many of the butcherous plank-walkings the sea would be red with the blood of thepoor unfortunates who had been attacked by sharks as soon as they fell into the wa- ter. It was in the early part of 1802 that the British merchant ship Albion had sailed from India with a valuable car- go anda fair-sized crew. On board of this ship was an aged. Protestant min- ister and his daughter, a beautiful and accomplished young lady of about 25 years of age. In those days the trip from India to England took all ships around the Cape of Gooch Hope. PIR,A.TES CAPTURE THE ALBION. Everythinghad gone well from the time that they had left the Indian shores until the good ship bad arrived ha the southeast trade winds. A sus- picious -looking vessel was seen one morning early with a mass of sail on her and making direct for the Albion. The Captain of the British ship had his fears when the stranger was first sight- ed, and they were realized tie the bulky form of the pirate ship loomed, higher and higher on the horizon. Arms were handed out to thea crew. The, few small guns on board the Al- bion were loaded, and everything was placed in readiness for the carnage that was soon to follow. A TERRIBLE BUTCHERY. It became the Captains' duty to in- form his passengers that the strange looking ship which wasaining on them rapidly was a pirate. The minister of- fered to take part in the protection of the vessel, but wee informed that as he wins not used to that class of work, he would, perhaps, prove to be more hanm than good. At last the battle came. The superior arms and numbers of the pirates over- came the few valiant Englishmen, and the cut-throat freebooters boarded the merchant ship. The Captain was bru- tally murdered, and the rest of the crew were forced to walk the plank. Several sharks were tearing. the poor victims apart from limb to limb. The sea was red with blood, but these was no ces- astion of the butchery, After all of the crew had been dispatched in that manner a seare]y of the ship was made. The poor minister and his daughter were found in the cabin praying. FIENDISH TR'RIR, CRIME. Brutally they were hauled on deck, The clergyman was unceremoniously forced to walk the plank. ` Words sink into insi,gnificanoe, When an attempt re made to picture' the anguish of the young woman as she saw her father fiendishly murdered.

She pre- ferred to die, as had her parent. This so enraged the pirate that he ordered some of .his orew to heat a poker. When that instrument was at white heat he burned out the eyes of the unfortun- ate woman. Tearing her clothes from Iter person, he ruthlessly threw her overboard as a feast for the sharks, Such was the fate of the Albion, This was the general life and brutality of pirates, and the civilized nations of the earth, mainly through the efforts of Great Britain, have in no one thing ac- complished so much as in driving from the oceans of the whole world the pir- ates of old, GREAT ZEN AT PLAY. Ho w Some of tee Leading en bi of Europe A,auuse Thctusieves. The big men of England knowing that "Ali work, and no play makes Jack a dull boy," seep their reoreation in something that takes them entirely out of official business. Lord Salisbury might have become as eminent a scientist as he is statesman. His laboratory and chemical apparatus at Hatfield are a sight worth seeing, and bis knowledge of his subject a thing even more worth baying. One of his fellow-ministera of the Cabinet Is reported to have suggested, in a weak moment, that his lordship's grasp of foreign policy might be due to his keen eye for foreign bodies in a test- tube. Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, like a evens. trained maid, does manylittle things. He grows that most alluring of all flowers, the orchid.He has been known to do some gardening on his own, ac- count in the undiguified condition of uproiled shirt -sleeves. Considerable paragraphs have been perpetrated concerning Mr. Gladstone s skill with the woodman's axe, but the pastime nearer to his heart is the in- timate study of Horace -•whose immor- tal odes he bas translated into grace- ful English verse -and of Homer, up- onw sounding whose e sound ng lines he is an ac- knowledged authority. How very different is the private Iffe of his contemporary, the rugged Bismarck! During his youth the taer- man was passionately fond of duelling. An authority states that twenty -coven duels in which he took an active part are on record. When surfeited of duel- ling, he turned to practical jokes, and o'irried them to snort an extent that was Clubbed "Mad Bismarck."

Write your address carefully, THE MODERN BULLET, 110. et Has no Stopping Capacity -Disastrous Defect la fighting Savages. The question of the stepping capacity of a bullet fired from the rifle which is now the standard arm of British in- fantry has reached a somewhat acute stage, Wherever the rifle has been used against a savage foe it has proved comparatively ineffective. The Mata - p y beles, for instance, seem rather to like it. Unless the bullet strikes a vital organ it no more stops a wounded man's charge than would a popgun. During the Matabele attack on Capt. Laing's detachment in the Matopo hills last week there must have been quite 200 of the enemy wounded, but only those actually killed dropped on the field. The others fought on cheerfully with wounds which ought to have disabled. The same thing is happening in the Soudan, and officers acquainted with the Madhi's warriors predict disaster to the Anglo-Egyptian army from this cause alone when it is brought face to face with the main body of the der- visners. Gen. Carrington, the commanding of- ficer in Matabeleland, and Gen. Kitch- ener, commander-in-chief in the Sou- dan, of course unknown to each other, have made strong complaints on the subject, and there is little doubt that the British War Office will he compel- led to appoint a committee of experts to make enquiries.

Scientists Are Wonderivg where tine Drug li'iil Cone From its Future Tears. Seiezttists are already wondering where the. world will get its future sup- ply of camphor. Large quantities of the drug are consumed in the manu- facture of celluloid, which is now large- ly used as a substitute for tortoise shell, ivory and horn. This has increased the demand and raised the price. Camphor is produced by several trees which differ materially in their habits, while other trees, closely related to them, do not produce the drug. Nearly all that is used in Europe or America is exported from China and Japan. A species of tree in Borneo produees cam- phor of it very high order which sells for eighty times the price of the com- mon article. It is nearly all used in China, where it is esteemeti as an incense, One species of smokeless powder re- quires camphor in its formation, but it bas never been used in sufficiently great quantities to affect the market price. The trees from which camphor es produced grow slowly. Man is their greatest enemy, and unless efforts are made to protect the trees uow living and others are planted future genera- tions will have little camphor PRENATAL INFLUENCE. "The most marked ease of a mother's fright showing in her offspring is that i of an Indian in my country," says D. L. Rogers, of 'Vancouver, B.C. "He is known as the '.Bear -faced Indian,' and the resemblance to a Lear is much more marked than that of the dog - laced boy, who was exhibited for sev- eral years, to a dog. The bear -faced 'Indian, which is the only name by which he is known, comes down from the north every hop season to pick hops, and his services are very greatly in de- mand. He can pick more hops than any two other Indians in this band. His com- panions have but little to do with him, seeming to regard him in a superstitious way, but the cause of his deformity is well established. His mother, while picking hops, was suddenly confronted y a large bear and was fraghtened into convulsions, the bear, however, not molesting her.
