' The British War has two of these machines on ', and it is stated that another be built in France and hand- ier to the French Government, s a Londoncorrespondent. e creation of this flying arrow, h refuses to be upset, provides ably the greatest romance in history of aviation. It is a y of the triumph of dogged Bri- pluck over official rebuff and steal disability. The inventor, .

Not as much progress in the na- al air service has been made re- ntly as was anticipated earlier in e year, because the mnanufactur g industry is still only in process f development, and is on asmall ale, while the demands of the Ad- iralty are now very large. There have in particular been elays in the delivery of the sea - lanes ordered, by the naval author - ties in the spring. Consequently, he supply of machines still falls hort of what was hoped, and also f what is urgently required, but n the next few months a large de- ivery will take place. In the matter of airship construe - on a great deal of preliminary fork has been satisfactorily acom- leted, In May a provisional or- er for five airships was placed,with Messrs. Vickers, and similar orders for craft of different designs were iven to Messrs. Armstrong, Whit- worth & Co., of Elswick. • Two of these ships were of the rigid type. Both •the firms have for several months past had staffs engaged pen this work, while good head - ay has been made in the work pre- .iminary to the construction of air - hip docks of the largest size, for he use of both establishments. itch of the docks will cost sums ap- roximating to $300,000. Naval Air Stations. In addition to the. naval flying chool at Eastchurch, under the roman of Commander C. R. mson, associated with a squad - on commander, four flight cora- tinders, and seven flying officers, aval air .stations have been estab- ished at the Isle. of Grain, Calshot, arwich, Yarmouth and Cromarty, nd others are now in process of evelopment: Within at short time e Admiralty's double airship dock the Medway Valley, which was rdered in the spring, will be com- eted. Aeroplane engines are now being iaade at :Elswick, and thefirmhas mnpleted an aeroplane which has ,gently made very successful &l;a.ts along the .Northumberland ast, and later in 'Yorkshire. The gines were constructed at Els- ick, and the body of the aero - era was built at Manchester, Are You Droopy, Tired, .. Worn Out ? Here Is Good Advice to All Who Feel as if Their Vigor and Life , Had All Oozed Away. This Condition Can be Qutl;ki}r. Cured by a Good Cleansing Medicine. Your experience is probably somewhat similar to that described by Mr. J. T. Fleming in the following letter from hie home in Lebanon: "I think I must have the must sluggish sort of a liver. In 'the morning my mouth was bitter, and that 'foul, soft feeling that tolls you, 'No breakfast needed here this morning.' A cup of coffee would sort of brace me up, but in two hours I was disposed to quit work, all energy having oozed out of me. Supper was my only good meal, but I guess I didn't digest very well, for I dreamt to beat the band. A friend of mine put me wise to Dr. Hamilton's Pills. I think they must have taken hold of my liver, perhaps my stomach, too, becauee at the very start they made things go right. Look at me now—not sleepy in the daytime, but hustling for the mighty dollar and getting fun out of life every minute. That's what Dr. Hamilton's Pills have done for me—they have re -built and rejuvenated my entire system." To keep free from headaches, to feel young and bright, to enjoy your meals, to sleep sound and look your beet, no- thing can help like Dr. Hamilton's Pills, 2$e. per box, five for $1.00 at -all druggists and storekeepers or postpaid from The Catarrhozone • Co., Buffalo, N.Y., and Kingston, Canada. SCOTCH NURSES. Are Popular at Nearly All The Courts of Europe. The birth of another son to the King of Spain recalls the fact that at Madrid the royal nurseries are in charge of three Scotch nurses, and that Scotch nurses are popular at nearly all the Courts of Europe. If Scotswomen enjoy so remarkable a preference in the royal nurseries of Europe, it is 'by reason of sturdy independence of character, which helps to keep them clear ofd the petty intrigues of every monarchi- cal household, and that ratio pre- vents them from spoiling their young .charges by undue servility. But what is most highly prized in these Scottish nurses is their par. ticularly musical voices, a quality which they impart to the youngsters nfided to their care, and in this neetion 'nurses from the Scottish Islands are more 'sought after their voices titan° these from the Jowlaild districts. These nurses, while their pay is not exaggerated, nevertheless are. treated by their royal and imperial employers with marked considera- tion and regard. Queen Victoria. who was so austere and so authori- tative and distant in her relations with her ministers and with the great dignitaries of the :State and of the Court, would unbend alto- gether towards the nurses of her children and grandchildren, en- couraging them to talk freely. Branding for crimes was not abolished by law in Britain till 1822.

Sir Luke Filden ie' boo of the beet - known of modern painters, and his State portraits of King Edward VII. and Queen Alexandra will carry his name down to posterity, But by far his most popular picture is "The Doctor," which now -.re- poses ,re-poses in the Tate Gallery. The pathos of this picture has appealed`; to millions, but few are aware of, the manner in which it was painted, and the trouble to which the artist went in order to get the desired effect. An entire cottage was fitted up in the artist's studio, and' the dying Sir Luke 1`ildes. child was represented by his own child. To obtain the figure of the medical man, one model sat for the hair, another for the eyes, and a third for the clothes, while the late Mr. Val. Prinsep sat for the beard. After arranging all these details, Sir Luke Filde•s states that he "practically lived with and for the picture for six months." But such a painstaking method met with a fitting reward, for the picture is ad- mitted to be one of the most suc- cessful ever painted. No More Neuralgia; Headache Cured A. Journalist Tells of The Advan- •tages of Keeping Nerviline Handy On the Shelf. Fifty years • ago Nerviline • was • used from coast to coast, and in thousands of. houses this trusty liniment served the entire family, cured all their minor' llle and kept the doctor's bill small, Today Nerviline still' holds first rank in Can- ada among pain -relieving remedies— scarcely a home 'you can find that does- n't use it. From Port Hope, Ont., Mr. W. T, Green- away, of the Guide newspaper staff, writes: "For twenty years we have used Nerviline in our home, and not for the world would we bo without it. Aa a re- medy for all pain, earache, toothache, cramps, headache, and disordered stom- ach I know of no preparation so useful and quick to relieve as Nerviline." Let every mother give Nerviline a trials it's good for children, good for old folks —you can rub it on as a liniment or take it internally. Wherever there is pain, Nerviline will cure it. Refuse anything but Nerviline. Large family bottles. 50c.; trial size. 25c., at all dealers, or The Catarrhozone Co., Buffalo, N.Y., and Kingston, Ont. CORNER IN BEANS FAILS. Egyptians Won't Buy Them When Price Is Raised. It has been said Lord Kitc'honer''s Egyptian homestead law had ruined the trade of the usurers who had in the past reaped untold profits out of the luckless fellah, whom they had been won't to exploit to an infamous degree. • But some of those gentry, shrewd- er than their colleagues, found what they thought was a surer means of making vast profits. They knew the feellah and his cattle lived at certain times of the year on beans, grown locally. So they de- cided to corner the bean supply, which is only just sufficient to meet the demand. Up went the price by leaps and bounds, and the fellah began to find beans becoming some- what of a Iuxury. Now the fellah may be improvi- dent, but he is no fool. He at once stopped buying beans, and fed him- self and his cattle on other pro- duce. As a result, prices dropped. But the fellah was not to be had. He continued to eschew beans, and as the latter do not improve by keeping, and the, banks, who had, in some eases, advanced the cor- nererg on their stocks, began to force them 'to realize, prices have gone down to such an extent that the stocks have all had to be sold at .a dead leas, For once in ai, way the fellah has come out on top, and the would-be market manipulators , are bitterly ruein,g that they did not find out "how many beans made five" be- fore they touched them. sCALES, DANDRUFF AND ITCHING Head so itchy Could Hardly Stand it.

Royal Family Favors a Law Against Liquor. There is a prospect that Sweden may soon be placed under national prohibition, Laws making it an offence to drink spirituous liquors anywhere in the country are oo•n- templated, and there is a reason- able chance•that they will be adopt ed. Prime Minister Staaf, in a recent address before a congress of tee- totalers in Stockholm, declared that prohibition was the only effec- tive -means of preventing drunken- ness. All other attempted methods of reform, he said, had proved in- effective and insufficient to stop the evil. The Prime Minister's speech is considered an indication of the Government's policy, and is be- lieved to foreshadow the introduc- tion into Parliament of a bill for the prohibition of all spirituous drinks in Sweden. Such ' a law would command the support of the Royal family. The King is a strong temperance advocate. A prohibitive law would be likely to meet with opposition from France. Sweden has a big trade in wines and spirits with France, and she depends upon the French mon- ey market to finance many Swedish enterprises. There are fears that the exclusion of French wines would' encounter retaliation in the form of exetusion o£ Swedish securi- ties from the Paris bourse. A pro- posal to increase the duty on wines in 1914 had to be dropped because the French Government protested and threatened to bar Swedish con- sols from the Paris Stock Ex- change.

Old Moore in Advance Prophecy for 1914 Tells Vote is Assured. Old Moore, who is listened to in London (England) as Madame de Thebes is at Paris, predicts for each year the political happenings. Usually his prophecies are made in November or December. This year he has advanced the date:' His pre- dictions aro none the happier. He announces for the first third of the year 1914 a great sorrow in the royal family and in the las, third the death of a great personage, whose disappearance will convulse the whole country. After this an eminent member of the English Cabinet will also be "the victim of an attempted assassination." Other nations will be no less troubled. He predicts earthquakes in the United States, violent windstorms, inundations, explosions of mine damp and epidemics. France and Germany, says Old Moore, will be on the point of coming to blows, and will only stop on the threshold of war. As for China., she will be inundated with blood. A single say of light brightens this black hori- zon, Old Moore promises victory to the suffragettes, who will besiege the British Parliament, he says, in March or April. ,v.
