Do not imagine' that I wish to disparage the courage of Torainy Atkins, Limp would, be both absura am' unjust: but it is, nevertheless, a fact that I have seen whole bodiee of troops scared - over a trifle at which they laughed heartily them - solves when it was explained. • One of the most trying ordeal's a soldier on active service has to un- dergo is a night march through an tialcown country, The silence, darknese, ancl knowledge of unseat 'danger have their effect even on the nerves of tried soldiers, The South 'African war provided a lot of • this work, and, ags a consecinence, several amusing • "scares" have occurred. In two of these ,1 myself took part, and I may as well admit that I was quite • as scared as the rawest recruit in the ranks. first happened pretty early in the war. A detachment about 500 strong was making a night march through a rather hilly bit of Natal. It was very dark, and for all we . knew the enemy raig.ht be lurking vsithin fifty yards of us. AU at once the report of a rifle rang out, immediately followed by a rapid ser- ies of shots, which. gradually • died away. Of course we halted, and for a moment TIDDRE. WA.S NEARLY A PANIC. Howevhr, no more shots were heard and no bullets came spattering *among us, so we went on. In the morning we learned the causeaof the &arra. One of our own scouts had slipped and, in failing, accidentally discharged his rifle, the report_ of which, repeated numberless times by an echo, furnished the seeming volley eve had heard. In the* secencl instance, which oc- curred limey inonths later, it was a private in. my own company who -caused' the alarm. • We were a. small ..scouting party, and were encamped one evening on the edge' of a • big • karoo plain. This man was one of the sentries, and presently he notic- aed a number of dark objects, which owing to the •deep gloom he could not distinguish, • creeping gradually nearer the camp and .spreading as they approached. After chanlenging • twice and receiving no answer • he fered at the nearest of the black •patches and rushed back into camp with the news that a party of the enemy were trying -to surround us. After some time, however, as • no -enemy appeared, we proceeded to in- vestigate, and then found we owed the fine fright we had received to a harmless flock of strayed sheep. We forgave, the sentry the more readily • aS•his bullet had killed one of "the • enemy," and fresh mutton .was welcome luxury. • For the truth of the following pannot vouch, but it was relateci to me by an eye, or perhaps I should • say an ear, witness. A small body f men were climbing a- Kooky ridge when the scouts came in and report- • ed that they had heard voices whis- pering in the darkness. The officer in charge went forward with them, and sure enough what appeared to • be the.love tones of men speaking a strange tongue could be CLEARLY DISTINGUISHED. Fearful of falling into an ambush - :which our troops had already done leve&I times -the officer decided to "Vvitlichaeti and await daylight. • Noth- ing haripened, and next morning On teaching the seine spot they found the voices still there, but no • sign , of human beings. The'mystery was soon explained, however, by the dis- covery of a little stream, the trick- ling of which over its reeky bed pro- • duced in a curious manner an exact resemblance to the sound of whis- pering voiees. In case there are, among our read- ers, some who feel inclined to smile at the idea of grown men being even • dismayed for a moment at such oc- currences, I may point out that while marching through a hostile country, and especially at night time, the nerves of the men are strung to the highest tension, and very little is needed to turn the scale. An in- stance of this occurred in broad day- light during the first Soudan War, A mounted force sent out to recon- • noitre in advance of a larger body of troops was suddenly astounded to behold a huge, dark cloud of dust or sand advancing rapidly across the desert in theiraadirection. Jumping •-to the conclusion that it was caused by a strong force of the enemy, the • troopers' turned tail, and scampered helter-skelter back to the main body, which at once formed np to receive the Weeny, When the latter appear- ed,• however, it proved to be nothing trier° formidable than a small sand- • storm. .

Poultry keeping is one of the mod- ern delights of society. That it should be so may puzzle those who base their ideas on some disreputa- ble type of farmyard hen, and who have never visited a big poultry show where fancy fowls are staged in all their glory. No lover of the beautiful in nature can fail to be impressed by the delicate coloring of some of these aristocrats of the poultry world, the exquisite mark- ings and the quaint eccentricities of others. The arts and sciences of breec/ing .may remain a. closed book to us. But the wonderful products of modern fanciers demand admira- tion. The Queen is the first poultry keeper in the Kiegdoni, and a regu- lar exhibitor and prize winner at all the great shows. One of her favor- ite varieties is the SiIkie, a quaint little fowl with white *plumage of a. silky texture. The King, if he is not actually a poultry fancier, has a -sincere respect for the Silkie fowl, for they are wonderful mothers f or reating pheasants and are anuch in request at Sandringnana. The Queen also has some of the tiniest and smartest bantams in the country, and their excellence from a show point of view is proved by the num- ber of prizes they win. Litigant: "You take nine -tenths of the damages? Outrageous!" Lawyer: "I furnish the skill and eloquence and learning for the cause." Litigant: "But I furnish the cause.„" Lawyer: "Oh, any- body could do that." BRIGHT BABIES. Are a Joy to Mothers and a Trea- sure ill the Home. All babies should be bright, good natured and well. If you have a child that is sickly, fretful, nervous, restless • at night, or suffers from stomach or bowel troubles of any Wit, give it Baby's Own Tablets and it will soon be well. There is no other medicine in the world will so safely and speedily cure indiges- tion, sour stomach, colic, constipa- tion, diarrhoea, and teething trou- bles.' T,housands of grateful moth - dr i speak of this medicine in words of warmest praise. Mrs. Fred, Pow- er, 18 Scollard street,Toronto., says: "My baby Suffered greatly from in- digestion. She was pale and very thin and would cry with pain in the stomach, and sometimewould not sleep either day or night. 1 g6t box of Baby's Owri Tablets and they have made a great change in my lit- tle one.

HINTS FOR InOT,JSEnCLEANING. Furnitare needs cleaning as much as other woodwork. It may be wash- ed, with warm soapsuds, quickly wiped dry and then .rubbed with an oily cloth, Unsightly finger marks disappear from varnished furniture when rub- bed with sweet oil, and from oiled wood• if kerosene is rubbed on the spots. A teaspoonful of good cider vinegar added to ono gill of pure raw linseed oil is said to leak° an excellent furniture polish. Rub white spots on furniture with ea sense of pep‘permint or spirits of camphor, or hold a hot plate from the stove over them. ' For cleaning out the corners in fur- niture anel 'window sashes use hardwood pointed skewers, such as butchers use. Grained wood should. be washed with cold tea. , New paint stains can be removed with turpentine; old. stains must be firet softened with butter and then rubbed with benzine. If a bedstead creaks at each move- ment of the sleeper, remove the slats and wrap the ends of each in old news- papers. This will prove a complete silencer. If feather pilloevs have an unpleasant odor, L'eive them a thorough drying be fore aelear fire. Strong brine may be used to adyan tage in washing bedsteads. Hoe alum water is also good for this purpose. • Carpets should be thoroughly beat- en on the wrong side first, and then on -the right side after which spots may be reraoved by the use of ox gall or ammonia and water. A tablespoonful of anamonia in a gal- lon of warm water will often restore color in carpets. It will also remove whitewash from them. If oilcloth is laid down where the sun will slaine on it, much of it will stick fast to the floor unless paper is laid under it. Do not wash oilcloths or linoleum„iu hot soapsuds. • Wash themwith tepid water andnvipe -with a cloth' dampened in equal parts of cold milk and water. Manilla paper pasted over the backs of pictures will exclude dust perfect- ly. • Foreigner -"What axe they chasing that innocent -looking couple out of that house for ?

STILL THEY WONDER, PHYSICIANS AND SCIENTISTS WERE NEVER SO BEWIL- The Ottawa Miracle is Still Being Discussed at the Regular Meet- ings of the Doctors of the Capi- tal City. Ottawa, Ont., June 2. -(Special) - To say that the miraculous case of George H. Kent, ol 309 Gilmore street, had shalcen Medical Circles to their very foundation, is putting it mildly. The ,facts of the case have been so thoroughly and satisfactorily estab- lished. by Mr. Kent's sworn state- ments as to leave no room fbr mis- understanding or mistake in the matter. Mr. Kent had Bright's Disease ; he lain been in leed for months, gradu- ally getting worse ; physicians could do nothing for hbai. His case had reached that stage when his body was terribly bloated. Ile was so low that he had con- vulsions, which were rapidly grow- ing more frequent. ' In the interval betweerni these coh- vulsions he was ahnost entirely un- conscious. In this extremity the physicians at last told his wife one evening that he could not live until morning. While watching by his bedside Mrs. Kent chanced to pick up a paper containing an •advertisement of a cure of Bright's Disease by Dodd's Kidney Pills. It was then midnight, and all the drug stores were dosed, but the devoted wife determined, that even at this extremely late hour she would make one more effort to save her husband's life. Accordingly -she despatehed a mese ..senger, woke up the nearest drug- gist, procured a box of Docid's Kid- ney Pills, which she commenced to administer at once. -. Mr. Kent did not die that night, for from 'the nett dose of Dodd's Kidney Pills he commenced to bei - prove. All other treatments , and medicines were discarded, and the of this remedy carefully con- tinued. Gradually- yet surely this wonder- ful remedy arted the progress of the dread Bright's Disease. It took Ded•a's Kidney Pills about six or seven weeks to restore Mr. Kent to good health. This is SOVell years ago, and be has never lost a day's work through illness since.

The rich and fashionable took it up for a season or two, and everybody fol- lowed their lead, especially the WO - ;arm. But everybody did not drop it when the rich tired of wheeling. '.On the contrary, we all fonied outi how mach utility as welle as enjoyment there is in a bicycle. Truth it is that there' is practically nothing on the catalogue to take its place, espe- cially in the country districts where means of transportation are very limited, and now that the price of the very best wheel is within easy reach of any pocket -book, it is safe to say that very few Canadians in the cities or beyond their walls will pass the season without one' of these useful` vehicles. GREAT CANADIAN BICYCLES. It is no sraall compliment to the Canadian artisan that Canadian made bicycles positively control the market here and in the other colonies. They have the good lines and finish of the best- Amer- ican wheels, but are more solidly and carefully built. The "Clevelan d," "Massey -Harris," "I3rantford," and "Perfect" wheels are famous the world over. Write to the Canada Cycle de Motor, Co., Limited, 34. 'ging St., West, Toren - no, for catalogues. COOKING DRIED FRUITS. Dried California fruit is usually cook- ed the wrong way. Even the very best cook books tell you to soak the fruit before cooking, -which is to spoil it at the start. Instead, have plenty of warm, not hot, water, and wash each piece separately. Use two bowls. ePut the fruit in one, with the water' and have the other empty, to receive itas it is washed. Rub each piece of fruit be- tween your fingers, manipulating it and pulling the edges into shape. You want it to look as inueli like fresh fruit as possible. When all the fruit has been transferred from one bowl to the other, pour on flesh Warm water and repeat the process. If the apricots are comparatively fresh, three or four wat- ers are sufficient; if they bave become dry and hard you will need five or aix. When the fruit becomes flexible, and not until then, it has been washedenough- Peaches must be washed until no 8011711 rises to the top of the water left in the bowl. This scup is the fuzz from the peach skins, which are invariably left on in drying the fruit. Prunes need but little washing, and vcry gentle handling. Washing the fruit in this way softens it without extracting the juices, as is done by soaking. After the fruit is washed, put it into a porcelain kettle, with enough hot water to cover it fully, and granulated sugar. The quantity of sugar must be regulated by the tastes of your family -tastes differ greatly in this respect. A heaping tablespoonful to a pound of fruit is Via minnnum quantity, a tea- cupful is the maximum. The last named quantity produces better results in the appearance of the fruit; a talespoonful is too little to make the fruit quite clear. Cover the kettle and stew steadily, taking care not to boil hard, until the fruit in clear; about fifteen minutes from the time it begins to stew.
