During the recent industrial trou- bles in England the cables have on more than one occasion announced that the. Premier has visited King George, But not the slightest ru- ,nor of what has happened at these 'ee•eetings between Kin and coun- sellors has ever leaked out. Directly Mr. Asquith leaves the King and the King himself leas quit- ted his apartments a secretary en- ters the room and destroys the con- tents of the waste paper basket, the blotting pad or any odd pieces of paper ,which might lead to a clue concerning • anything that happened at the interview, Until this is done not a servant is allowed to enter the room. At the King's stationery office similar safeguards against the leak- age of State secrets are taken. The departments most intimate with the King's private business put all waste papers into sacks marked "Absolutely confidential," and an offieiai of the office throws them,in- to a destructor. No servant ever sees into the interior of King George's private writing desk. There is only one key in existence, and that his Majesty carries everywhere with him, fas- tened to one end of his gold albeit. With regard to Statepapers, the King is compelled to take some one into his confidence. But while ' in use they are KEPT ,Ol'NDER STRICT GUARD in specially constructed dispatch boxes. The King's secretary, Lord Stamfordham, has charge of the keys of the boxes, and he is the only individual who knows the con- tents of the papers kept in them. That King George has many pri- vate investments is well known, but the people who know exactly how much these transactions are worth, and in what direction they: lay, can be counted on the fingers of one hand. Elaborate precautions' are taken to keep his name out of the .1d of finance. Although he holds •ec man-:..ri' y s u teas, the trusted friends through whom he works never by any chance let his name be breathed in connection with any one of them'. When certain people receive in- vitations to a house party given by the King or Queen there are often shrirggings of shoulders and .raising of eyebrows among the smart set dowagers. Such invitations gener- ally have private reasons behind them, which their Majesties take good care to keep to themselves. The majority of people, however, SATE TIIC,lL CHILDREN* Mothere who keep' a box of Baby's Own Tablets in the house Way feel that the lives of their lit- tle ones are reasonable safe during the hot weather. Stomach trou- bles, cholera infantum and diar- rhoea carry off thousands of little Dues every summer, in most cases because the mother deee nothave a safe medicine at hand to give promptly. Baby's Own Tablets cure these troubles, 'or if given oe- esseionally to the well child will pre- vent their coming en. The Tablets are guaranteed by 'a government analyst to be absolutely harmless, even to the newborn babe. They are especially good in the summer because they regulate the bowels and keep the stomach sweet and pure. The Tablets are sold by me, dicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. CRUEL_ PRISONS IN SIBERIA. A Story of Horrors Told by Mlle. Marie Shkolnik. Mlle. Marie Shkolnik, who has recently arrived in London, ` Eng- land, after escaping from. a Siberian prison, describes the sort of living misery to which prisoners are sub- ject. Mlle. Shkolnik received a sen- tenoe of imprisonment for life as the result of her participation in a poli- tical disturbance in that commun- ity. "Criminal and political offend- ers," she stated, "share the same punishment, the conditions being precisely the same for both classes. After being taken to Irkutsk by train, women and men in groups of from eighty to 160 set out upon the horrible march of from 150 to 200 miles 'to the prisons. They cover some twenty-five miles a day, rest- ing at night in small wayside erec- tions, which are full of vermin. "We were given about 5d. a day with which to purchase food, but this sufficed to buy bread and water only, so that those who had no money of their own hoed to be con- tent with that. Men were chained as they walked, but the women were allowed to go free, although the soldiers were extremely rough. "The prison was over a hundred year's old; having been built for the men prisoners who were formerly required to work the gold mines in the vicinity. Here the women were herded in parties of thirty and forty in cells built to accommodate a dozen people. "There are always a number of children, for feeding whom no pro- vision is made until two years' have elapsed; the children meanwhile sharing the starvation allowance of their parents. The women are set to work making mattresses. All their work, including the sorting of wool, is done in the room in which they live, and as a result deaths from eonsumption are so frequent who become Royalty's guests are, as that no notice is taken of them. The a rule, especially gifted in some women are entirely in the hands of direction, for talent in any form their captors, and none escape vie - always finds favor with Royalty. lation, either by the officials or the One of Royalties' most closely kept secrets is the' contents of their diaries. THE EMPRESS OF GERMANY, who chronicles a daily survey of happenings in the ; Herman Royal palace, keeps a diary fitted with lock and key. an example followed by most adult Royalties throughout Europe. In his anxiety to keep all his cor- respondence absolutely secret, the German Emperor has surrounded '' himself with difficult codes, pees - words and devices. All his corres- -pondence is inclosed in waterproof envelopes of special construction and heavily sealed with a signet ring which seldom leaves the Kai _ ser's hand. rNo one except the Empress of WOULD scliE A Foil Russia shares the secrets . of the , Czar. , The heavy cloud of suspi- (iQ I 1 his life is conduct- ed on under r c d confidence even does not ten to e ii Cossacks. Mile. Shkolnik owed her escape to a serious illness which caused her removal to Irkutsk in order to un- dergo an operation. She escaped by a means which she cannot di- vulge, lest her story should involve punishment for those concerned. The chief warder of the prison was suspected of having aided her in her escape. It was discovered that he had a considerable suns of money in the bank, and it was sug- gested that she had purchased her freedom at the price of £3,000. Mile. Shkolnik states that she never in her life held communication with the official in question. iRS ITH ECZEMA c' which Z' among his most trusted courtiers.

TRAINING EAGLES FOR WAR. Think They May be Iniluced to At tack Airships. Some offieers of Nice, according to a French newspaper, have been training • six eagles to attack aero- planes and dirigible balloons. Although many attempt have been made'to construct a for estroying aeroplanes, the problem e yetbeen solved, These snota v officers herefore chose a as capable of attaining then ary Ilpeed and height in the air, be- gan by habituating them the noise ;of motors and trear Then, by fastening choice morsels of food on small balloons an me s h gun eagles eCesS and to ms, d frame work, representing an aeroplane, they have trained the birds to throw themselves fiereely in such objects and tear them as they tear their prey. Given the powers- ..of the eagle's beak and claws, it deems likely that an eagle could be counted en to wreek an aeroplane or tear open a •dirigible,but, as Gaulois points otlt, a. pr6,?tioal fest .Would be diffi- eult to athply, • Baby Dreadful Sufferer, Could Not Keep Him from Scratching Every Joint Affected.

Can Economize in $1,laee as Well as Pennies. A woman who is constantly tra- velling and yet who finds it moat. necessary to economize in space as well as in pennies, has found the fol- lowing plan for peeking her one trunk a 'moat excellent one. At the bottom of the trunk she has a par- tition made large enough to. carry one large or two small hats. This xs strongly made, so that it cannot easily be broken. At the' side of the partition. she places a wooden. box filled with sawdust, in which are her bottles. of medicine. Here, too, she: lays her shoes, each pair carefully rolled in linen covers. On one set of shoes she puts her pair of rubbers, and inside the shoes she places her boxes of pills or pow- ders which: would not go. into the box of. medicine. Then she has six or eight pieces of heavy cardboard cut to exactly fit the trunk. These she covers with linen or chintz, so that .they look exactly• like large envelopes, with •straps or strings to fasten down the flaps. In these huge -en- velopes she pins her dresses, shirt- waists, etc. Two: or three dresses can usually be put in each envelope. Everything is kept absolutely flat, and nothing can be pushed to one end. of the trunk when it is' stood on end. At the top of the trunk is a shal- low tray, in which she puts her laces, ribbons, veils, and gloves, etc. The underwear is rolled and placed around the edges of the trunk, or is folded flat and laid be- tween the envelopes. SALLOW FACES. Often Cansed by Tea and Coffee Drinking. How many persons realize that tea and coffee so' disturb digestion that they produce a muddy, yellow complexion ? A ten days' trial of Postum has proven "a means, in thousands of oases, of clearing up a bad complex- ion. . A Washn. young lady tells her experience "All of us father, mother, sis- ter and brother—had used tea and coffee for many years until.finally we all had stomach troubles more or less. "We all were sallow and troubled with pimples, breath bad, disagree- able taste in the mouth, and all' of us simply so many bundles of nerves. "We didn't realize that tea and coffee caused the trouble until one day we ran out of coffee and went to borrow some from a neighbor. She gave us some Postum and told us to try that. "Although we started to make it, we all felt sure we would be sick if we missed our strong coffee, but we tried Postum and were surprised to find it delicious. "We read the statements on the pkg., got more and in a month and a half you wouldn't have known us. We all were able to digest our food without any trouble, each one's skin became clear, tongues cleaned off, and nerves in fine condition. We never use anything'now but Pos- tum. There is nothing • like it." Name , given by Canadian Postum Co., Windsor, Ont. "There's a reason," and it is ex- plained in the little book, "The Road. to Wellville," in pkgs.

A woman seems especially adapt- ed for training animals, both domes- tic and wild,•0as her motherly in- stint is. an esential factor; animals, like children. requiring patience, sympathy, vigilance, intelligence. and firmness. In the case of the lion women are moresuecessful than men as trainers and have fewer accidents. Claire Heliot,' for nine years a star lion tamer, but now retired, who greatly loved her•twelve lions, declares that the most potent fea- tures in the art of animal training is, the ability to impress the fact that the trainer can be depended upon to deal kindly with her charge. She began training lions when 22 years old. First she wotild feed thorn with . meat from her hands, then she would sit for days three hours at a time in the cage with an iron bar and a whip in her hands, getting closer each day. In a months' time she'patted their manes. In four months she taught them tricks and: then exhibited them. the had twelve in her group. She never whipped her lions, only made believe by' creaking the whip over their'heads. Though a Ger- man, this trainer always spoke b reach to her lions, the language being quicker and thus more conn- manding. She loved her work, though folding' it hard, and when she retired kept some of her favorite lions to play with.

A man in rags, who proved to be of good family and once a barrister. at the court of Marseilles, France,.. was arrested in Paris for being without visible means of support. "Why don't you work 7' he was asked by the magistrate. "I do not like to work," was the ingenious reply, The prisoner went on to say that although he was a lawyer in a good; position, social obligations and the necessity of. wearing good clothes became irksome to him twenty years ago. He left Marseilles, his family, his friends, and respectability, to tramp the roads of France, where he could not breathe in'the trammels of convention. After ,some years he got tired of tramping,: and enlisted in the For- eign Legion under a false name. He remained with the corps for ten years, and then eame back to France to tramp .the roads again, begging as he went. The magistrate offered to find this incurable vagabond food and lodg- ing in a home, but he refused, and was therefore sent to prison. d< TWO' FAMOUS BANDS. Coming from England for the Cana- dian National Exhibition.. Two famous bands from England will make the musical attractions at the Canadian National Exhibi- tion this year something long to be remembered. The Scots Guards Band from Buckingham Palace, the third of this famous brigade of bands brought across the ocean by the Exhibition people, will alter- nate with the Besses o' Th' Barn, which: all lovers of band music re- cognize as Britain's best brass band. Two such musical attractions have never before been brought together on the continent. THE NAPOLEON HAT. Almost every season brings for- ward some millinery creation on the order of the Napoleon hat, a type which is most becoming to some piquant faces.

It Eases Pain.—Ask any druggist or dealer in medicines what is ,the most popular of the medicinal oils for pains in the joints, in the muscles or nerves, or for neuralgia and rheumatism, and he will tell you that Dr. Thomas' Electric Oil is in greater demand than any other. The reason for this is that it possesses greater healing quali- ties than any other oil. WITHOUT AN ARGUMENT. ' `Do you have any trouble get- ting your daughter to practice her music?" "Not at all.

The Pill That Leads Them All.— Pills are the most portable and compact of all medicines, and when easy to take are the most acceptable of preparations. But they must at- test their power to be popular. As Parmelee's Vegetable Pills are the most popular of all pills they must fully meet all requirements. Ac- curately compounded and composed of ingredients proven to be effective in regulating the digestive organs, there is no surer medicine to be had anywhere. It takes a silly woman to trust a man who couldn't get credit for a 3 -cent head of cabbage at the cor- ner grocery. Minard's Liniment Cures Disterimper.

Cholera morbus, cramps and kin- dred complaints annually make. their appearance at the same time as the hot weather, green fruit, cu- cumbers, melons, etc., and many persons are debarred from eating these tempting things, but they need not abstain if they have Dr, J.
