Most people take as read the an- viont le.8(,wy or the London tower; pores hiy few are aware that in com- parlsxnr with it the palaces and Weems throughout Maw° aro modern creations.

The crown jewels in the tower are Worth it may be supposed, some THREE kilLLT(IN POUNDS. Everything of sts'0 regalia is thorn with ono notable exception. The lion -i -nor is represented by a crystal, queen Alexandra wears the original on great occasions, as part of her personal jewels. The tower has been the sover'eign's strong room for the storing of treasure over :duce tower -dwelling• monarchs wore. The old jewel house itself was built sim- ultaneously with the royal mint, when that eetablislunent was irithin tho tower walls. The one( attempt to steal the treasure is historic. It was the feat of that picturesque vil- lain, Col. Blood. 1-fe had ingratiat- ed himself with the deputy -keeper of the jewels, had gone so far as to propose a match between bis ward. and the daughter of the official. All went smoothly. The bogus swain turned up to bo inspected; with lout three others and the colonel, They beat and gagged the old man, secur- ed the crown, orb and sceptre, and wore just making off, when, by the strangest coincidence, the son of the jewel -keeper arrived from Flanders. The scene which followed would do credit to the dramatist. Tho colonel, disguised as a clergyman, had the crown edncealed beneath his cassock, and added his voice to the hue and cry. "Stop the villain," he roared. He had reached his horse before the imposture was discovered. When they made for kiln ho turned and fired in the face of the men nearest him. The pistol missed iiia, and the crown was saved; but not unin- jured. Trampled in the mud, its jewels were all knocked out, and MANY OF THEM LOST.

To a reporter of the Orangeville Sun, Mrs. Atche- son said: "Three years ego I became very much run down. My appetite almost vanished, I grow pale, was subject to headaches, dizziness, pal- pitation of the heart and a ringing noise in the ears. I tried several medicines, but they did not help me, and I was consequently much de- pressed and feared I was doomed to go through life a chronic invalid. Ono day I read the cure of a woman whose symptoms .were almost identi- cal with my own, through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I sent for a box, and by the time it was finish- ed I was sufficiently encouraged to send for another, and so on until I had taken six boxes, when I was in every sense of the word a different person. Every symptom of my late illness had vanished, and I was Once more enalblcd to loolc after my house- hold duties with old -tine health and vigor. I feel that I owe all this to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and I cheer- fully recommend them to other weak and suffering women." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are a real blessing to all weak, weary wo- man. They build up the blood and cure all the functional. ills from which so many women suffer in sil- ence. These pills may be had from any druggist or will be sent by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 by writing The Dr. Wil- liams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont, Remember that substitutes cannot cure, and sec that tile full neme, "Dr, Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People," is printed on the wrapper around each box. NEW CAVALRY TRAINING The Education of the British Horse Soldier at Aldershot. Apparently as the result of the ad- mirable experiments in cavalry train- ing rainling made by Lieut. -Col. do Lisle at Hounslow, the new system of instruc- tion is to be introduced into the First Army Corps, writes an Alder- shot correspondent of the London Daily Mail. Tho innovation will do away with much of the useless routine work which in the past has occupied so much of the cavalryman's time. From the beginning of the training the aim will be to develop the cav- alryman's power of initiative and resource and general intelligence in the field. One of his first lessons will be to catch his horse when turned loose, to train it, and ride it across 001111117 instead of around the riding school. The caro of horses is also to be taught, Men are to be instructed in the treatment of minor horse mala- dies, how to judge and treat lame- ness, and to tell good forage from bad. Outpost and advance guard duties, reconnoissance duties and map read- ing aro to bo taught thoroughly. Parties of men are to be sent out to fled their way to fixed points en- tirely by the man. The art of scout- ing will be • instilled by the "flag stealing" game and practical trials of scouting, in which special stress is to be laid on intercepting moves of tho enemy, learning his strength without being seen, despatch riding and making intelligible verbal and written reports. More attention is to 1)e paid to. firing, the proper appreciation of covet', rapid shooting, natural"i•ests, and the effects of wind. Skill at arm's is not to bo forgot - tet, and mounted combats and com- petitions aro to be instituted, To render charging a little more scientific, an interesting game, some- what after the idea indulged in by the Gorman infantry, will be prac- tised. A squadron of dummies ip line will form the objective, and the squadron bowling over the greatest. number of the enemy will be declared the whiner. d HEALTH FOR BABY IN WINTER.

A STAMP MENAGERIE, An Interesting Exhibition Might Be Made of 1110 Pictures. Collectors of porta ro-stamps will be interested to examine their cams- none ellonbone In the light or some words of a philatelist. Ifo says that Many stamps bear tho pictures of animals. Arranging lbo demise according to the design they bear, the stamp -col- lector tan gather a considerable menagerie. The three -cent Canadian stamp of 18151 boars a beaver. Newfoundland issues of 1860 11000 the seal and the codfish. The seal on these stamps is, however, a queer creature, St for a neusellnl of freaks, for he bas name Lilco a tiger. In 1880 the gown - Mont had the seal t odmawn with flippers. In 1887 the Newfoundland dog appears on the half -cont stamp. In the United States in 1860 the horse was primed in brown on the two -cont stamp, and in the Omaha issue, the year of the fair, appeared two more animals the bull and the buffalo. 111 the eastern hemisphere the ani- mal stamps aro more nu111010us. and strange. China furnishes a fish, a Fen -gull and a dragon. Across the Indian Ocean 10 Ike Congo Fneo State one fithds the elephant on the one -franc stamp. Liberia furnishes the hippopotamus an the two -cent stamp in bister and black. As one travels through Africa leo finds on the Stamps of eeyaoea tee spotted giialTe. In 'Egypt I:e comes upon tho cancel on all the stamps of the Sudan, and in the wilderness of the French Congo he finds the leop- ard on the eboalper stamps. Travelling eastward ngoin to North Borneo tiro collector discovers four more menials to add to las collection the deer, ,ythe peacock, the crocodile and tie monkey. 7n New South Wales appear ono animal and two birds which are pe- culiar to that part of the world—the kangaroo standing erect on the shilling stamp, t11e emu and the lyre -blvd. A short di$tanre farther, in New Zealand, one gots tee sacred hnia-bird. The picture of the duck- bill, l:allebird, half 01110101 decorates some of the stamps of Tasnutuia, and the black swanis contributed by Western Australia. The shall feinnds of Seychelles show a turtle, lerom Peru comp two llamas. In Guatemala a quoted, a bd'rd that will not live in captivity, is produced on the stamps as a31 em- blem 01 national freedom. On some of the stamps issued by Persia ap- pears the lien. Tuscany nito shows a lion on its early issues. In the Colombian republic the bald eagle is used. It is also shown on stamps of the French colonies. In. elle latest issue of Cuban stamps is the ox pulling the plow in the fields. While collectors have not captured all the wild animals, they have enough to make an interesting ex- hibition. (TREAT WORK IN NEW BRUNSWICK DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS MADE F. W. HARRIS A WELL istAN. Ile Suffered From Kidney Disease for Two and a Half Years—only d one of the. Many Cured by the Great Canadian Kidney Remedy. Central Waterville, York Co., N.B., Dec. 7,—(Special.).—The case of F. W. Harris of this place is one more evidence of the wonderful work Dodd's Kidney Pills are doing in New Brunswick. Mr, Harris makes the following statement for. publication: "I suffered for two years and a half from Kidney Troubles, being un- able to attend to my work the e g er part of the time. I tried many medicines without getting any benefit, but actually grew worse. "I took threo.boxes of Dodd's Kid- ney Pills and they cured me. I think Dodd's kidney Pills aro a wonderful remedy for Kidney trou- ble." Bright's Disease is the most ad- vanced stage of kidney Disease. Docld's Kidney Pills aro the only remedy that will cure it. But it is wiser and safer to guard against Bright's Disease by using Dodd's Kidney Pills when your Kidneys give the first symptoms of distress—pain in the back or slight urinary dis- order.

Ile was only twenty -enc when he first made acquaintance with Africa, which was afterwards to bo his happy hunting -ground.

A series of articles on this subject attracted tho attention of Lord .PSayo, who was arranging a mini 1 to Portuguese West Africa, and knowing that Johnston was. familiar with the Portuguese Ian -i gnago, he invited hint to accompany the expedition. The young enthns-1 nest accepted the offer, and upon the completion of the mission travelled on alone into the heart of the Congo, and tracked the great river of Cen- tral Africa through its tropical wan- derings. Returning home at the end of 1583, ho produced a remarkable work dealing. with the River 'Congo, %vetch brought him into notice, and. was the means of his being selected to conduct an expedition to Kiliman- jaro, in East Africa.
