Tobacco Company of Canada Lanrited • BRITISH FLEET In drydock, at rest and safe from waves and wind, yet still a flagship,. Nelson's old Ship, H.M.S. Victory, is to be restored—made to Iook as she was when she fought Trafalgar. This ship, the most famous in the world, was launched- at Chatham on May 7th, 1765, her tonnage ,being 2,165., She was the flagship of both Howe and Nelson, and still holds that honored ranks,After 160 years of ,service in the navy, most of the olde;oak timber in the Vie..ory is in good condition; but some of the wood below the water- line became so rotten that: she had to. be ,taken from h_ ere anchorage in' Portsmouth Harbor ' and put perma- rrently into dry lock Here he will remain ash g_ lastinmemorial to the nation:: and one of our greatest 'links with Empire. Great caution `had' to be ` exercised M docking., as it was feared the weight of the hull would be too much tor the aged timbers, and ten steel - Frame •clutches havebeen made . to grip the hull, and thus relieve the keel of most of the weight of the vessel. Across the end of the dock, - to the .stern of the ship, a concrete dam' has been built, thus making her secure for all time. During her long years of service, both on active work and for nearly a hundred years as flagship in Ports- mouth Harbor, the old ship has under- gone, many, alterations, changing her appearance from that of Trafalgar days. The Nautical Research So - clay, however, has undertaken her complete restoration, provided for by public subscription, and intend to snake her like the Victory of Nelson's time, when she led the wooden walls of England down Channel towards Trafalgar. This is no small undertaking. Many details of structure have to be alter- ed, and the old guns have ,to be re- placed, or ones: of similar pattern put, With their carriages, in every port- hole. Shot -racks, sponges, and ram - mere have also to be provided. Cabins and the general , accommodation for the crew are to be restored, and even the mess -tables between the guns will be brought back again; to give ant ex- act idea of things as they were on the day of battle, The masts are tol; r be made higher, and the rigging will be precisely the same as in 180.5. Perhaps' the finest sight for future "'visitors to .-the restored Victory will be* the portion of the decks • which is to be kept "clear for action'' as in the THE "EDF THE. PRIDE Wanted ---A• King! Albania, wants a king, "an English - Man; gentleman preferred!' The sal- ary is not stated, but the civil list of the new nonerch, whoever he may be, isunlikely to be a very extravagant one, seeing,dthat the entire revenue of the country amounts to ne more than about £800,000. This, by the way, is pot the only occasionon which a European grin- cipality has been "in the market," so to speak. The late :Dupe of Edin- burgh, afterwards Duke ' of Saxe-- Cobouig and Gotha, Queen Victoria's second son, was once offered the throne of Greece, 'and' so cer•tain'wer,e theGreeksthat he would accept :that- tbey aotually had him ' proclaiined' i{ing at Athens, Not only • this, but a number of coins were, struck bearing the new "monarch's" • effigy: These are now greatly prized' by collectors, it is per- haps unnecessary to, add, that on news of these events reaching Windsor, the proffered honor.was promptlyde- clined. Some time previously the Greek throne had been offered to the' grand- father of the •present Earl of. Derby, who also deciined it, Foliowiaag the refusal, the vacant throne was hawk- ed round amongst half the prince- lings in Europe, to be eventually ac- cepted by the Grand Duke Otho of Bavaria, whom his ungrateful subjects later deposed. In 1878, following on the Russo- Turkish war, Sir Henry •Drummond Wolff W I might, had he so winded, have been king of the then;. newly -formed principality of Rumelfa. He was acting at the time as Brit- ish .High Commissioner there, when one morning a delegation of leading notables came to offer hint the throne, assuring him of the _support` of Rus- sia, and suggesting. that: he should be crowned :forthwith at Philippopoiis. Sir Henry pretended to treat the matter as a huge joke; whereat the delegates retired , in high dudgeon, The after -history of the torn and dis- tracted little country showed that the astute Englishman's self-abnegation in refusing a kingdom was a wise move on his part. This same crown wasafterwards declined by Prince Alexander TTogo- rides; Probably for a similar reason to that which had previously induced the 'Count of Flanders to decline, the honor of ,ruling over the turbulent populace of the sister principality of Rumania. Said this astute individual, when offered the crown by the President of the Council of Ministers: "If you can guarantee that I shall not be assassi- nated, as was M. Catargi, or interned for life in a dungeon, like M.,Petrov- 'ski, my answer is. `Yes' Otherwise it is 'No.'" • The Ministers looked askance ateach other, then silent withdrew. • • Not .always,however; have offers of this description been declined:. Many years ago Sir James Brooke, an ex -officer in the old East India. Com- pany's service, was offered, and ac- cepted, the crown of Sarawak, in Borneo, over which country his de- scendant, the present.' Rajah Brooke, still reigns, it having been •constituted an independent State under British protection 'in 1888. Anticipation Much of the pleasure in life comes from a forecasting imagination. The satisfactions of vacation travel, to choose but one example, lie as much in prospect as in retrospect, It is fun to read the literature of places we may never see, to discuss and compare alternative routes, to consult the experience of others and "com- pare notes" with those who went and returned. ' Says the cheerless pessimist; "I. have learned to expect nothing. Life has taught me that if you expect noth- ing you will not , be disappointed." But the man who has such a gloomy philosophy behind his modus operandi is likely to find the "No Admittance" sign hanging out for .him at many a door instead of the proverbial "Wel- come" on the mat. . People dislike a confirmed grouch, a chronic knocker as an associate in work or play. We do not ask that teammatesshall dwell in a fool's paradise of Pollyanna sun- shine'all, the.=time,:' but we 'Want those. who take the cheerful forward look. and have the disposition to make the best of things and,- as the Soot says, 'Whustle 'o'er the lave or .it'' Why was hope implanted in the human breast, to spring eternal there, if we were not meant to believe that the best is yet to `be, and 'then to labor with all our might to make that belief conte true in fact? As eyes were made for seeing, the heart was meant to hope. The chief incentive to persevere and to make progress is not that which is—a fortune made, an ambition realized,'' a success at tamed but that which . may be. A man in business keeps going because he sees to far horizons, and his am- bition carries even . farther than his vista. So it is in all affairs of life. If only we dare and endure :sufficiently; we shall not be disappointed. Deprivea man of expectancyand you. shatter the mainspring of the whole machin- ery .of his .being. But you cannot de prive him of that central, primal force unless he ills it so. SHOCKING.

The muscles. of the backare under a heavy strain and ,havebrit little rest. When the blood is .t in they lack no rich ment and rebel, The result is a sensation of paini in these muscles. Many people are frightened into believing that backaches are due to kidd,ey trouble, but the best medical atihr"orities agree . that backache is very seldom due to kidney trouble. In fact ,not More than one backache in a hundred has anything to do with the kidneys. The whole trouble is due to thin• or .Impute blood, and those who are' troubled with•pains in the back or loins, either frequent or occasional, should • look - to the condition of the blood. it will be found in most cases that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills by build- ing up the blood and feeding the starv- ed nerves and muscles will banish t he Pains and make you feel better in every other way.

Why Bread Grows Stale, :. -w.nrdoes, bread grow stale? When 'the dough is put into the oven, the starchin it is turned. into jelly by the heat. This jelly holds the moisture In the loaf and distri- butes'it evenly throughout the bread, As the loaf cools, the starch gives up its moisture, which is drawn from the centre of the bread into the out- side crust. Thus the inside, or crumb, becomes hard and dry, while the crust changes from es hard and crisp sub- stance into a soft and "doughy" one, Cold weather makes bread stale rapidly, and for the same reason stale loaves can be freshened by being placed in an oven for a few minutes. Scientists have been investigating the staleness of bread, and are now trying* to find out why some loaves keep' much better than others. At the same time, it is pointed out that stale bread is wholesome and that there is really no need for the waste that goes on "at the .present time. e Two Ellzabeths.

A well-known psychologist has been making .a study of laughter, which he says differs in its indication of character by its vowel sound, Those wholaughin "A," he says, or make a sound like "A," are loyal to their friends, frank in their speech, o tn fond f bustle and movement, and of versatile character. People who laugh in "E" are sel- dom cheerful company, because they are phlegmatic and melancholy. Most children laugh in "I," and peo- ple who continue to laugh in "I" after they have grown to be men and women have childlike qualities. They are timid but affectionate, irresolute but candid, and are always obliging and ready to work for :others. They are apparently not very strong char - edam. People who laugh on the vowel "0" are often successful in life, because they are not over -sensitive. They do not worry, about public opinion, and criticism slips off their backs like water off a duck's. ' They are gener- ous, self-confident, and, in spite.__of their pushfuiness, usually liked and trusted. Few people like laughers in "11." As a natter of fact, these individuals are very sparing in their laughter, Life for them holds little of fun and mirth. - ti MONEY ORDERS.. Dominion 7xpress.
