Physical eoui'ago is very largely a

are times when a Most trivial intiie

Momentary roar in the breast of the
bravest Mans remarked a non-com-
• rtlissioned officer to a writer in `.Cit -
Bits. De not imagine that T wish
to disparage the courage of Tommy
Atkins, 440 Would bo both absurd
and unjust; lust it is, nevertheless, a
fact tliat'I have items whole bodice,
of troops seared, over a, trifle at
which they laughed heartily them-
solves when it was explained.
One of the most trying ,ordeals) tL
soldier ori active .service has to un-
dergo is a eight mareh through an
unknown country, Tlio silence,
darkness, and knowledge of unseen
danger have their effect even on the
nerves al tried soldiers. The, South
African war provided a lot of this
work, and, *to a aonsogeence, several
amusing "scares". have occurred. In
two of these X myself took part, and
1 may as well admit that I was
quite as scared as the yawest recruit'
in the ranks.
Tho first•liappened 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 clai'k, and for all wo
knew the enemy might be lurking
witbin fifty,. yards of us. All at
once the report of a ride rang out,
immediately followedby a rapid Ser-
ies of shots, which gradually died
away. Of course we halted, and for
a moment
THERE WAS NEARLY A PANIC:
However, ' no more shots were heard
and no bullets canto spattering
among us, so we went on. In the
morning we le:u'neclthe cause of the
alarm. One of our own scouts had
slipped and, in falling, accidentally
discharged this rifle, the report of
which, repeated numberless times by
an echo, lui'nishod theseeming volley
we had heard.
In the second instance, which oc-
curred many months later, it was a
Private in my own company who
caused the alarm. Wo were a small
scouting party, and were encamped
one evening on the edge of a big
lcaroo'plain. This man was one of
the sentries, and presently he notic-
ed a number of dark objects, which
owing to the deep gloom ho could
not distinguish, creeping gradually
nearer the camp and spreading as
they approached. After challenging
twice and am:Mi fn ' no answer he
fired 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 lie.
-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. • Wa
forgave the sentry the more readily
as his bullet had .killed one of "the
enemy," and fresh mutton was a
welcome luxury.
For the truth of the following I
eannot vouch, but it was related to
one by an eyo, or perhaps I should
say an ear, witness. A small body
of man were cliinbing a rocky 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,
find sure enough what appeared to
be the low tones of men speaking a
strange tongue could be
CLEARLY DISTINGUISHED.
Fearful of falling into an ambush -
ryhich our troops had already done
Ieverel times -Abe officer decided to
withdraw and await daylight. Noth-
hlg happened, and next morning on
reaching the same spot they found
the voices still there, but no sign
of human beings. The mystery was
soon explained, however, by the alis-
covery of a little stream, the trick-
ling of which over itsrocky bed pro-
duced in a curious manner an exact
resemblance to the sound of whis-
pering voices.
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 especiallyat 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 thie occurred in broad day-
light during the first Soudan Brass
A mounted force sent out to recon-
• noitro fit adva.ncc of a larger body
of troops was suddenly astounded to
• behold a huge, dark cloud of dust or
sand advancing rapidly across the
desert.iu their direction. Juunpieg
to 'the conclusion that it was caused
by a strong force of the enemy, the
troopers turned tail and scampered
helter-skelter back to tbo main body,
which id once formed up to receive
the enemy; When the latter appear-
ed, however, it proved to be nothing
more formidable than a small sand-
- storm,

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 Ii. Kent, of 309 Gilmore
street, had shaken Medical Circles to
their very foundation, is putting it
mildly,
Tie facts of the case have been so
thoroughly and satisfactorily estab-
lished by 114r. ]c'ent's sworn state-
ments as to leave no room ler mis-
understanding or mistake in the
matter.
Mr, Kent had 13rigbt's Disease ; he
had been in bed for months, gradu-
ally getting worse ; physicians could
do nothing for him,
His case had reached that stage
wben his body was terribly bloated.
He was so . low that he had con-
vulsions, which were rapidly grow-
ing -:more frequent.
In the interval between than con-
vulsions he was almost 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 kis bedside Mrs.
Kent' chanced to pickup 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 closed,
but the devoted' wife determined,
thateven at this extremely late hour
she would make one more effort' to
save her husband's life.
A1cordiilg}y site despatched a mes-
senger, woke up the nearest d1'ug-
gist, Procured a box of Dodd's Kid-
ney Pills, which she commenced to
administer at once.
11;7•. Kent did not die that night,
for from the first dose of Dodd's
Kidney Pills he commenced to im-
prove. A11 other treatments and
medicines were discarded, and the
UFO of this remedy carefully con-
tieti
ed
Gradually yet surely this wonder-
ful remedy arPestod the progress of
the dread Bright's Disease,
It took Dodd's Kidney Pills about
six or ,seven weeks to restore Aft,
Kent t0 good health. This is sewon
,years ago, and lie has never lest a

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 fell Canadians in
the cities or beyond their walls will
pass the season without one•of these
useful vehicles.
GREAT CANADIAN BICYCLES.
It is no small compliment to the
Oenadiafr artisan that Canadian
made bicycles positively control the
market Hero and inthe other colonies.
They have the good lines
and finish of the best Amer-
icon wheels, but are more
solidly and carefully built. The
"Cleveland," "Massey-Ilarris,"
"Brantford," and "Perfect" wheels
are famous the world over, . Write

C00KING DRIED FRUITS.
Dried Califol'nia fruit is usually cook-
ed the wrong way. Even the very best
cool: books tell you to soak the fruit
before cookie', which is to spoil it at
the start, instead, have plenty of
warm, not hot, water, and wash each
piece separately., Use two bowls. Put
the fruit in one, with the water, and
have the other empty, to receive it as it
is washed. Rub each piece of fruit be-
tween your fingers, manipulating it and
pilling the edges into shape. You
want it to look as, much like fresh
fruit as possible. When all the fruit has
been transferred from one bowl to the
other, pout on fresh warm water and
repeat the process. If the apricots are
comparatively fresh, three or four wat-
ers are sufficient; if they bale become
dry and hard you will need live or six.
When the fruit becomes flexible, and not
until then,it has been washed enough.
Peaches must be washed until nos0wn
i
rises to the top of the water left n the
bowl. This scum is the fuzz from the
peach sldns, which Inc invariably left on
in drying the fruit. Prunes need but
little washing, and very 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 bot
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 the minimum quantity, a tea-
eupfiff is the maximum. The last named
quantity produces better insults in the
appearance of the fruit; a talespoonful
is too littleto ).sake the fruit quite clear.
Cover the kettle and stew steadily,
taking caro not to bail ]card, until the
fruit is clear; about fifteen minutes
from the time it begins to stele.
