There is a couaxilon and highly dan- gerous foe which civilized Status • have always to guard against—more so during times of peace than when war may be raging—and that is the auilitaiy spy, HO is a danger which menaces every Dation, being largely •eine 1oyocl by the respective :Powers of the world to discover the ntilltasy -secrets of other nations sa3's London TIt-Ilzts. It is necessary that the man who travels about seeking other coun- tries' secrets should be an excellent -.linguist, not so much in order that 4 may speak the various languages, to enable him to indcrirtanci all conversation which he bears. As a matter of fact, a foreign spy often •disarms suspicion by exhibiting an utter ignorance of the language of the particular country, lie may be visiting, One of our Government agents while in - Germany about two years ago managed • to escape front a .rather dangerous position by acting in such a manner. He had been sent there to try and obtain some information about a new war bal- loon which the German Government was trying, and decided to travel •as an ignorant English tourist. • He reached the neighborhood where the •e cporiments were being• carried out, but was not allowed to obtain a close inspection of the balloon. After the experiments hail been made, however. he followed the in- -venter of the balloon and some mil- itary friends into a neighboring inn, .and sat himself down at a table near them in the hope of hearing some of -their conversation. TIe call- • ad. for "ETN GLAS BTIR" in atrociously bad (lerman, in order to convey the impression that ho knew nothing of the language. But the military gentlemen still seemed to suspect him, and began talking .aloft(' amongst themselves,. in. • their own language, about the English "dog," and referring to him in other abusive terms. The agent, however, took no no- tice whatever of the remarks, al- though lie well understood 'their meaning, and sat smoking bis pipe and drinking his beer in a manner •qui! a unconcerned. This seemed to satisfy the inventor and his friends, who forthwith began to talk of the balloon experiments. In half an hour the agent had learned enough of the details of the invention— which was a very important one— to send -a good report home, and thus enabled es to learn what Oen- many was doing in the way of aerial era r fare. It is on account of the espionage which exiets in such countries as Creat Tll itaiu, Russia, Germany and ]?mance that the military authorities of these Powons take the greatest precautions to prevent strangers faun evit nessing any special ivan- oenvre, which take pla'e. Perhaps our readers will remember the great fuss wt-ieh Russia made some time ago because two British offices would ro'sist in hanging About the district in which tl;e autumn manoeuvres Avert to take pia e. The Russian euthori;ies actually appealed to the British Embassy bassy about rho matter, with ti ce result that the officers were obliged to LEAVE TITHE NETGXIDORHOOD. .These officers were not spies, but, course, their actions aroused tee cion that they were and Ruseia is rticularly keen in guarding her mile' ary knowledge. In spite of the precautions taken by foreign Powe •s, however, there are very few manoeu- vres and military exreriments carried out of which our agents do not oh- tain some knowledge. Ono of the agents employed by the British Gov- ernment at the present time is par- ticularly expert in the way of pick- ing up information at foreign rnnn- oevres. HIe is a past -master in the alt of disguise, and incidentally at' lulling the suspicions of foreign efH- cial., who may think he is visiting their country under false pretences. Some time ago he carried out a very daring plan in order to witness experiments which were to be triol in France wi'h a new gun -carriage during the manoeuvres. He assum- ed the uniform of an officer of an artillery regiment at that Cline sta- tioned in one of the distant French Colonies. In this character, of coarse, he was entertained by the French officers, and every facility given him for witnessing the experi- ments,. He would have fared rather badly had l o been 'denounced by any- one, but fortunately his daring car- ried him through. ON ANOTHER OCCASION lie secured an engagement, as coach- man to a German official wbose duty it was to inspect military roads and defences. In this character lie ac- companied his master on long tours of inspection; and was 'thus able to gather information of importance. Perhaps the most remarkable plan he ever adopted, however, in order to my into the secrets of a ,foreign ].'ower was that which secured for him admission to the arsenal • of Toulon, ea Failing to secure admis- sion in anya::other way he :hired a boat and deliberately upset it within a few yards of the dockyard wall and within sight of one of the sen- tries. • I3e swam to the clock wall with .Hutch apparent difficulty, and was rescued in a seemingly uncon- scious state by the sympathetie sen- try, who'took hien within the arsen- al to adminaater restoratives.

ABOUT PROMINENT PEOPLE. Notes About Some Leading Ac- tors on the World's Stage. The most curious paperweight in the world belongs to the Prince of Wales. It is the mummified hand of one of the daughters of Pharaoh. In the little Yorkshire village of Laughton-en-le-Morthen, not many miles from Worksop, live John and Ellen Baxter, supposed to bo the oldest married couple in England. John is ninety-six years of ago and his wife ninety-eight. They have been married seventy -live years and have lived in ono cottage over sixty years. When a young mak Baxter assisted to dress the stono from the A'nston Quarries used in the erection of the Houses of Parliament. One of the most remarkable ar- tists in the world is Mr. Douglas Tilden, a deaf-mute, who is at pre- sent hard at work on a big mernor- ial to the late President M'ICinley. 110 is a strange character, this clever American; speaking no word. he seems capable of conveying every imaginable idea by the very light of his eyes or the wave of his hand. life is supposed to converse in writ- ing, but he is hardly ever obliged to finish a sentence. His friends have learned to follow the expres- sion of his •face instead of the trac- ing of his pencil. Mr. Percival Spencer, who is qual- ifying as a British rival to M. San- tos -Dumont, has been connected with aeronautics from his youth, having made his first ascent in company with his father •(who combined the hazardous callings of aeronaut, cyc- list, and gyinnast),at the mature age of eight, since whdn he has navigated the upper air in all parts of the world. In Egypt, India, China, and Japan he has astonished the na- tives in this way, while nearer home, of course, his ascents have been still more numerous. He has crossed the Channel by balloon on four occasions. The Queen is a most indefatigable letter -writer. Thirty or forty let- ters from her pen are n_o unusual daily occurrence, and she often sends off a number of telegrams, too, while Miss hnollys, who is her favorite attendant, has often written over 100 letters a day, all of which are under a special personal supervision. r1710 Queen, too, is very particular about her writing -paper, and only likes to use one particular sort, which is rather rough, of a creamy color, with the address stamped in ; red at one corner. She writes often in the most affectionate strain, and she has several friends whom she calls by their Christian naives. I, Detbler, the French executioner, who has retired on a pension in fav- or of his son, now utilizes his tirno in the manufacture of agricultural, hay -cutting, and other machines of the chopper kind. lyis efficiency has led the Minister of Justice to en- trust him with the delicate- task of constructing a brand-new guillotine to be used in Algeria. A similar order will probably be given for three large provincial towns, as it is found that the dread instrument of law gets out of gear in its travels to and fro, without counting the in- crease of publicity caused by its appearance. M. Deibler's bill for the Algerian gullotine is a little over $1,500. Mr. A. W. Maconochle, M.P., is the well-known chief of one of the larg- est preserved provision houses in the world. His firm, lliaconochio Bros., of London,' Lowestoft, and Fre erburgh, can 5,000,080 herrings every year, and the Maconochie em- ,ergency ration for troops in the field is considered one of the best that have ever been produced. Mr. Maconcliie, though of Scottish blood, was born and educated in England. At the age of seventeen Mr. , Macon- ochi,o started with his brother, who was twenty-one, and for the first year they dealt in fresh ash, and did their own curing and canning. He is still on the right side of fifty, and has only been in business thirty years. HEALTHY, NAPPY BABIES: livery mother most earnestly de- sires to see her little ones' hearty, rosy and full Of life. The hot wea- ther, however, is a time of danger to all little. ones,. and at the very first symptom of uneasiness or. ill- ness, Baby's ..Own Tablets should bo given. It is,easier to prevent fences than to cure it, and an occasional dose of Baby's Own Tablets will keep little one healthy and happy. If sickne's's does come, there is no other medicitie will so quickly cure the minor ills .of babyhood and child- hood --and you have N guarantee that it contains no opiate or pois- onous stuff. Mrs. John Nall, Pet- ersburg, Ont., says ;--"I have used Baby's Own Tablets and find them a superior remedy for troubles of the stomach and bowels. From my own experience, I can highly recom- mend the Tablets to other mothers." Mothers should always keep those tablets' in the house, ready for any emergency.

The first application of X-rays to industry is in tanning leather. The use of storage batteries to fur- nish the entire motive power for an electric road has not been successful. On Thirty-fourth street, in New Yorlc the conducting wire or bar with trol- ley or sliding contact is taking their place. That a great majority of all deaths occur between 1 and 8 o'clock a.m. was shown by the record of 5,000 cases presented to the British Medi- cal association by Dr. Haviland. Forty per cent, more deaths occur in the fifth hour of the morning than in the 'tenth hour. The X-ray operators at Guy's hos- pital, London, whore the most ex- tensive use has been made of X-rays in the treatment of disease, suggests that the severe disturbances report- ed by Mr. Edison as coming from the X-rays are really fron'i the ultra violet rays, for in their large experi- ence in the application of X-rays in skin diseases no such accidents have occurred. GBH LONG AGO BUT STILL CURED S. KERNOHAN'S INCURABLE DISEASE CURED BY DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS; Five Doctors Agreed There Was no Hope for Him, But He Has Been Strong and Well for Years. Gelert, Ont., Sept. 7—(Special).— The wonderful euros by Dodd's Kid- ney Pills published almost daily, re- call the case of Samuel Kernohan, of this place. It is years now since he was cured, but as he is still cured it is well worth recalling the facts, and Mr. Kernohan delights to relate them. "Some time in December, 1803," he says, "I was taken sick and laid up for fourteen months. During my confinement to my house and to my bed, I was attended at various times by five doctors. Three of them de- cided that my disease was incurable, Floating Pidney, and two of them that it was Spinal .Disease. All agreed on ono thing—that my case was incurable. "When my money was all gone, as a matter of necessity and as my last hope I tried Dodd's Kidney Pills. I had only taken three boxes when I was able to walk about. I took in all, eighteen boxes, when I was en- tirely cured and quite able to work. "Dodd's Kidney Pills are the best friend I ever found." • WHAT THIEVES THINK. The pickpocket is superstitious. He will rarely rob a person who squints, this being accounted a certain sign of disaster, and if it happens that the, purse ho steals contains foreign as well as British money, it is be- loved to augur that ho will travel a, good deal in the immediate future; but whether • in the comralw of a couple of police officers or not there is nothing to show. Weddings and fu.norais are significant events for the professional thief. To pick a pocket , at a funeral would be to court immediate disaster; but many of them think if a purse stolen at a wedding contains gold it portends the' best of luck for tto thief during the ensuing six months, Some pick- pockets have a favorite pair of boots that they wear as longas they can keep them on their feet, and if they are not arse;ted while they are wear- ing them they cut the boots up into little square pieces and give ahem away as "lucky tokens" to their friends. SMALL -SIZED JAPS SQUAT. Recently the editor of "Chouo- Koron," a journal published at Tok- yo, determined to find out why the Japanese, as a rule, are of lower sta- ture than tho natives of other coun- tries, .and, after spending Consider- able time at the task, he arrived at the conclusion that the reason is be- cause from time imunemorial..they have been accustomed to squat on mats in Turkish fashion instead of sitting down on chairs, as Ameri- cans and Europeans do. The Jap- anese method of sitting, he says, in- terferes with the free circulation of the blood, and, naturally, prevents the limbs from becoming thoroughly developed. As a proof . that .he is right, he draws attention to the fact that the boys in Japan at the•pres- ent day aro taller by five or six cen- timetres than their ancestors were at a similar age, and Ire maintains that the reason is because the form- er, when they attend school, are obliged to sit on benches, whereas the latter squatted' while they learn- ed their lessons. That the Japanese ought to be taller than they are is the editor's opinion, and he has ap- pealed to the Government to prohib- it squatting. A X1UXAN OSTRICH. Dr. l4fennier, chief surgeon at St. Joseph's Hospital, Faris, told the London Academy of Medicine a re- markable case which had come un- der his notice recently. The patient was a etuntod, ball -witted youth of twenty-two years. He complained of. severe pains in tate abdominal region, 11, little Sunlight Soap will clean and an operation revealed the cut glass and other articles until they shine and sparkle, Sunlight Soap will wash other things than clothes. • t•f acus .._...__.....— TOO BUSY TO REMEMBER. Men Now Have Machines to Help Them Out. The officials of busy corporations and suck institutions have a great znany engagements in the course of the' day—sorne with their associate" connected with the same concern and others outside—and the only avail- able way of keeping these dates at present is that of making memoran- da on. a list which must be consult- ed from time to time, That is all right as far as it goes, but it fre- quently happens that very busy per- sons forget to consult the engage- ment list and important matters are necessarily allowed to suffer unin- tentional delay. A clock which the inventor says will remedy all this has recently been introduced into this country from England. It is of the hori- zontal typo, designed to occupy a place on the desk.. It is hardly worth while to go into the intrica- cies of its construction. Around the face of the timepiece there are a number of regularly spaced slots re- presenting different periods of the hour n,nd day. At a convenient place there is also provision for the accom- modation of a number of small cards. A person making use of one of these clocks desii ing to be remind- ed. of an engagement will take one of these cards, and, making a suit- able note upon it, place it in the proper slot. At the designated hour there will be a loud. tap on a bell, and at the some instant there will be projected from the clock the card, which combination, comprising an audible and visual signal, cannot be over looked.: POINTED PARAGIR,APHS. Silence is an excellent remedy for gossip. The man who gambles picks his own pocket. Wise is the man who doesn't write a truthful•story of his life. A man's knowledge is to little or no purpose unless he utilizes it. While a blacksmith may have many virtues, he must have at least one vice. It's an easy matter to master a grief that is doing a stunt at your neighbor's. As a stuttering man always thinks twice before hd speaks, he ought to avoid mietakes, Even the man who lives a useless life may serve a purpose by posing as an example to others. The only difference between white lies and black ones is that other people always tell the black ones. A man who imagines that he can run the domestic end of the combine better than his wife does is a fool man. In after years when a woman wants to take the conceit out of her' hus- band she repeats sortie things he said during their courtship. PASTING SCHOOLGIRL. Miss Reba Benjamin, a sixteen - year -old pupil of a high school at Colorado Springs, recently concluded a twenty-five days' fast, which she undertook "for fun." She only lost ten pounds, and did her accustomed household work during the fast. She is now living on fruit juices, fruits, aad nuts, abstains from a set meal, and has abolished breakfast entirely.

Spiders cannot actually fly, but the young of many species aro excellent aeronauts. When, on some summer's day, these little adventurers prepare to start, they stand on a high point of vantage, facing the wind. when the tip of the tail is raised, and lit- tle spinnerets emit threads which are caught and carried by the breeze. These vary in length with the weight of the spiders, and are buoyant enough to bear their owners aloft for a considerable distance. Tho glit- tering filaments which aro thus spun, and ultimately settle onctho ground and bushes, are familiar to us all as -"gossamer," and aro produced by many species of these most interesting insects. Some spiders, again, are ex- pert xpert leapers. A beautiful example of this sort has been found at Sydney, New South Wales. It has a curious flap on either side of its body, which can be extended like a kite or para- chute. Aided by this, it can readily cover short distances, though we cannot speak of this method as real flight. .once in the stomach of no less than eight silver teaspoons; a large three- pronged hreo-pronged • fork, a metal name -plate, two drilling pins, a horn comb, sev- eral keys and nails, and a variety of other'small articles, weighing alto- gether 230 grammes. Although it was afterwards tiscert aincd that this miscellaneous assortirent of iron- mongery ntpst have been swallowed fully six months ago, the stomach had been practically uninjured. The articles were all removed -and the patient is now able to take food, his general condition being excellent.

No social' affair is complete with- out the delicious - tasting That Comfort Soap is "all right" with the public, and is used "all over" the Dominion, is evidenced by the great throng of people to be found at all times gathered around the exhibit. As usual, the exhibit is ono of the most unique and attrac- tive of the Fair. The mammoth cake of Comfort Soap, (the guessing of the weight of which entitles the lucky one to an elegant Palmer Up- right Piano) is scanned from. every possible standpoint. The mental ef- fort to "size it up" in pounds and ounces, calls a serious expression to many a laughing face, for the mo- ment. It costs nothing to guess; and everybody has the privilege of trying for this valuable Piano, which is also on exhibition at the stand. Nineteen other beautiful and valu- able prizes, as consolation prizes, are to be awarded to the nineteen guess- ers next nearest to the correct one - The Mayor of Toronto has kindly consented to weigh the huge cake of Soap at the Comfort Soap exhibit on the last day of the Fair and the result and names of the lucky guess- ers will be published. The exhibit is also made artistic and attractive by the display of many of the handsome pictures and other articles of virtue which are given away as souvenirs for Comfort Soap wrappers. These presents are so much appreciated and sought af- ter, that the Manufacturers have to carry a stock equal to that of many a large departmental store, and the show rooms at 52 Wellington St., W. Toronto, and at 1676 Notre Dame St., Montreal are veritable Art Emporiums well worth a visit of inspection. Comfort Soap in use, and in popu- lar favor, has no competitor; it stands alone as the great family and household Soap of the Dominion, and its use is rapidly extending to every household in every town and hamlet in the country. It is gratifying to the manufactur- ers to know, that their efforts to make a labor-saving and pure soap, a soap which is the best economy for every household use, are being so universally appreciated, as it is to the millions of patrons who use it, who benefit by it, and who always get the beautiful premiums in ex- change for the wrappers, which they send in to the ware -rooms at 52 Wellington St. W., Toronto, The rapidity with which the de- mand for Comfort Soap is increas- ing is simply phenominal, and the Company is constantly adding to their factories and facilities, in try- ing to keep pace with it. As is sometimes tritely said of it, "Its the Comfort of Canada," and its almost universal use seems to bear out the happy conceit. In after years when a woman wants to take the conceit out of her husband she repeats some of the things he said during their court- ship. Minard's Liniment Cures Colds, etc, FIRE BRIGADE OF WOMEN.

It seems hardly possible that there can be a nation in these civilized times who never kiss. Yet it is a fact that in Japan a husband when he bids good-bye to his wife never kisses hot',, but presses her hand and bends his'jorohead to the mats in a sad farewell, No Jap ever courts his loved one with the kisses usually so dear to the Canadian lover, nor does the mother ever kiss her sweet babe as she fondly presses it to her bosom. In' this country our saluta- tion is composed of a bots, hand- shake, and kiss. But the Japanese expression of regard is strictly regu- lated by the nuzub^e and lengths of the salaams.
