How Faithful Servants Saved. the
House of Hanover's Jewels
and Money.
The history of the Duke of Cum-
berland's fortune has just been re-
lated by Herr von Hassell. His
father George V bad a narrow es-
cape of finding himself both kingdom -
less and penniless. The State trea-
sures of Hanover were only Weald
in .safety a few hours before Prussia
declared war on the excellent blind
King. The person who saved the
ananeial part of Herr Klenck,
Chief Secretary of the Exchequer.
lie had to remove 720,000 thalers
in silver, 89,000 crowns in gold,
worth about 30s. each '• 254,000 in
English bank notes,' 286,000 in
Prussian thalers, 2250,000 in Han-
over bank notes, and 219,000,000
worth of Elnglish, Dutch, French.,
and other Government bonds. aThe
gold crowne were packed in seventy -
Line winetths, theV bonds in ten
chests, the •Hanover bank notes in
bales and the thalers in crates lined
AVith tin. This variety in packing
was to prevent notice being taken
at therailway or the port of em-
barkation; where Prussian' agents
were reported as on the lookout.
These barrels and bales rfere taken
by an ordinary goods train to an
outlying station asid then rapidly
shifted to a special train that was
to go at full speed tco.Geestemunde:
• It started at half past eleven p.m.
on June 15, 1866. But they had
forgotten to order station -masters
to keep the line lighted, and the
engine men had to creep along in
momentary fear of an accident. The
train was late for the steamer that,
was to take the treasure to Eng-
land. The risk of taking it on
board a Lloyd's steamer, the Bre-
men had to be run on the night .of
June 17. Klenck grew gray in the
two days of suspense.
PRUSSIAN MEN -OP -WAR
were hanging about near the mouth
of the Elbe. The Bremen entered
Southampton on June 19 and did
not sight a single Prussian vessel on
the way.
Somehow, the tidings that the Bre-
nicie had on board alt the gold and
silver of the King of Hanover had
got out there before the vessel ar-
rived. Doubtlesg it was telegraphed
from Geestemunde, Plots were al-
ready made to, rob, it. The King of
Hanover's agent lost no time to de-
feat them by hiring a special train
to Loadon for the precious cargo.
It arrived there before closing time
at the Bank of England. All was,
transported to the cellars there by
quarter past four.,,.A telegram in
one word, '`Safe,'' apprised the
King of Hanover that he was at any
rate saved from beggary. The silver,
coins, allowance. being made for ex-
change, were valued at 2105,805,.
and lodged in Klenek's name. The
:Prussian thalers 'Were transferred to
a West End branch, where, limhad an,
aceount and to his credit. The Duke
of Cambridge wag asked to ,take
Iliarge of the geld crowns and de-
bentures, but refused . after he had
taken the .advice of counsel, it was
finally,decided to leave them where'
they were, at the Bank of England.
It had been •impossible . to Send
away the plate of the Crown of Han-
ey& -before war Was deelarod. This
, plate was of 'imiecless value, apart
from its intrinsic worth as silver.
The Grand Chamberlain, Malortie,
caused a hole to be made, like an
English coal hole, under the steps to
the grand entrance of the ,‘palace.
It was scooped out by workmen
placed in the cellar. A wall under
the door was broken down. When
the liole was large eirfatigh'the plate
was packed in it in sand and the
wall rebuilt. The iden of the sand
was ingenious.

DESPERADO'S CONVERSION.
A Missionary's Experience in Con-
tra). Africa.
While Albert B. Lloyd was on
tour of exploration in Central Africa
he met with many iuteresting adven-
tures, which he has noted in his book
of travels, In ;Dwarf Land," The
conversion of a notorious desper-
ado is thus graphically described:
Sboii. after I got to Uganda, while
talking to the crowd, I noticed a
strange fellow standing outside. He
was tall, with very long hair, quite
unlike the ordinary Uganda man. In
his hand he held a huge spear with a
blade two and a half feet in length
and five inches wide, in the centre,
When the people caught sight of
him they moved away in fear. Full
well they knew hirn; the whole dis-
trict was conversant with his bloody
deeds his notorious life was spoken
of by old and •young. 'By the 'road-
side he was 'wont to De in wait Lor
harmless travellers, spear them and
rob them of all they had, Time af-
ter tine attempts had been made to
capture him, but so strongtaad ac-
tive was he that he ,evaded every ef-
fort.
As soon as I had finished speaking
he disappeared. A fortnight after-
wards he came to me, and he still
carried his huge spear. I greeted
him heartily, and he told me that he
wished to learn to read, and to hear
more of the "beautiful words" as he
described them.
I conducted him to the church
where reading classes were going on,
and beckoning to a little boy, in-
structed him to teach my new friend
to read. Day after day he came, and
diligently sat grinding away at the
reading -sheet, with the little boy at
his side.
He finally succeeded and became a
changed man from that time. His
old life was entirely 'given up; the
horrible weapon be had used for the
purpose of murdering his fellow men
he gave to me.
It was wonderful to notice the
change in this poor fellow. To -day
the man is as true and loyal and ear-
nest in his simple faith as lse was
when he first „decided to give up all
his evil practices and become a Chris-
tiana., Surely this is Yet another
proof of the glorious truth, " The
gospel of Christ is ,the power. of,.God"
unto salvation to every one that be-
lieveth."

THINGS LEFT TO UHANOE,
DRAWING LOTS FOR GREAT
FORTUNES.
Tossed a Shilling f or a Coal
Mine.—Red Bean Sz.„tred
His Life.
.Mr. Arthur Burn, one of 'the big-
gest coal magnates in the north of
England, owes his immense fortune
to the spin of a shilling, Twenty. -
nine years ago his -uncle died, and
left the Millvale iron mine to Ar-
thur Burn and his cousin, John
Hinchbrooket jointly, But the Joint
ownership was unlucky.' The , ,two
quarrelled over the method of work-
ing the mine. It ceased to Pay, And
was closed.
One day the cousins happened to
meet on tho sands al; Whitby, and
the discussion over tha working of
the mine. was renewed. But they
could come to no agreement.
"Tell you what," said Burn. I'll
sell You my share in the mine." ,
"Don't want it,'' replied the other.
"Well, I'll buy your interest."
BUT IIINCIIBROOKE REFUSED.
"Can't please you in any way, it
seems,'' Burn rejoined"; laughing.
"Look hero! I'll spin you which
of us owns it." This sporting offer
his cousin could not resist, Burn
pulled out a shilling and up it went
into the air.
'Weeds !" cried Hinchbrooke. But,
it was tails, and the Millvale mine
passed into Burn's possession. ' A
seam • of coal found sliprtly after-
wards made the property enormous-
ly valuable, and formed the basis of
a great fortune.
Probably few but his intimates
know that Captain Frederic Taylor,
whose collection of savage weapons
is the finest in the world, owes his,
liberty, and in all probability his
life, to pure chance. He was one of
the crew of the "Syria" when she
was wreched on the coast of Made,-
gascar, and was among the twelve
who got safely ashore. It was long
before the days of the French occupa-
tion,' and .the unluckY, men ,fell into
the -hands of the Chief of Mojanga,
who made them all slaves about
HIS PALACE AND FARMS. '
-
/Some .rnonths later word came
from ' the king—Radarna--that half
of the men were to be sent up to
him at the capital. The wily old
chief picked ,out five of 'the weaker
menimmediately, but could not
inake:iip his niind .. 'as to the sixth.
The Choice' lay between Taylor, then
'a boy Of 'bighteenr and a.metn named
Joliffe. Taylor' knew that his one
chanhe of eventual 'rescue lay in his
'being near the coast, andshivered at
the idea pf being sent up cOuntry.
At last' the two were' brought before
the chief. A narrow -mouthed earth-
onwarejug stood before him, and it
was explained that this -contained
two beans—one black, one red. Who-
ever drew the black wasto go to the
capital. ,
Captain Taylor often says that he
was never so thankful in liis life as
when he- opened his hand, and found
the red bean, He and his friends
were rescued a few months later by
a French gunboat, The other un-
lucky six were never again heard of.
The accidental burning of the will
of Mr. McManus, one of- the:original
New South ' Wales sheep -farmers,
-caused . the equal division of his
property between his -alepheties, ,Eric
Stapleton and Geon'rey Stayner, who
were atathe. time under -graduates at
Oxfdrir 'Neither of there had ever
igeeti in Australia qij theirlives, and,
'tlie news that they had to divide

as big as an English County was al-
most as embarrassing as pleasing.
"What shall re do with it ?" ask-
ed Stayner. "Run it on shares, or
divide it ?"
"Divide it, I think," said the
other, who had an idea of going out
and settling. ,
The two youngsters got out the
plan of the great section of land,
took a ruler, and divided the farm
as nearly in two -portions as pos-
sible. Then came the question 'of
who should have choice. They set-
tled the matter by dealing a nap
hand, which Stayner won, He
chose the northern half, because he
said, it seemed to ha.ve a stream
through it, and lie was fond of fish -
The' stream, as he found when he
visited his property , three years
later, was nearly a • half -dry ditch,
•
while lie found that his cousin ha,c1 a
splendid artesian well on his ',1and,
and was fast making a fortune.
One day, in 1898, two young. fel-
lows ,sat, near the top of the Brecon
Bills: They were brothers, named
David:: and they were both in • love
'with the dmighter of a. fanner in the
neighborhood had not the
least idea, which,of them she favored,
,but they were both. pretty, sure that
the -only possible end of their rivalry
wotld be a quarrel,: and this., ,they
were naturally "
ANXIOUS TO AVOID.
So they talked mattees over, at
the seine time idly kicking loose
stones, which rolled down the steep
slope below them. At, last a happy
idea struck Harry, the Meetof the
two. lie suggested that they each
get a stone, end start them level to
roll down the hilif Whichever tra-
yelled further should give its owner
firs t chance with the lady. If she
refused him el, thoaend of a, month,

One of the biggest things ever left,,
to pure chance was the fate of one
hundred and fifty-seven souls.
When the Warren and Finlen Ex-
pedition was making its wonderful
journey from the Upper Zambesi to
the Congo, they were caught by a
flood on the Kitsai River, and lost
almost everything they possessed.
Food, trading material, most of
their surveying instruments, and am-
munition, as well as several carriers,
were swept, away by the raging tor-
rent. The question was whether to
go ba;!,k to the Barotse Valley, where
help was obtainable, or push on to
Stanley Pool. Mr. Warren thought
the latter ; Mr, Finlerr---,gonsidered
they should return. They had no
ammnnition, he said, to iight off any
hostile natives whom they might
meet. But) Mr, Warren considered
that as they were nearer to Stanley
Pool, and there was more game in
front, they should push on.
At last they agreed to leave the
matter to chance. Neither had a
coiu about him, so they cut two
reeds, one short, and one long, made
a native hold them, and agreedethat
the one who drew the longer of the
two should have his way. It fell to
_tr. alien.
When, starved and in tatters, they
struggled into the • settlement at
Stanley Pool, they learnt that if
they had gone back the entire expe-
dition tvould almost certainly have
been butchered by the slave -raiding
chief Tzige, who had started after
them only a week after they let

post cards, book packets, newspapers
and parcels delivered amounted to
the enormous total of 3,723,817,000.
But what seeins more startling is the

The total value of property found'

THE STRONGEST TIME.
$tages of Development and Decline
of tlie Muscles,
l'he muscles, in common with •all
o t ie body, • have their
stages of development and decline;
our physical strength increases up to
Cer ta, age and then decreases.
Tests of, • the strength of several
thousands of people have. been made
by means of a dynamoineter
(strength measurer), and the follow-
ing are given as the average figures
for the white race:—
The "lifting' power" of a youth of
ses enteen years is 2801b; in. his twen-
tieth year this increases to 3201b,
and in the thirtieth and thirty-first
years it reaches its heig,ht, 356M. At
the end of the thirty-first year the
strength begins to decline, very slow-
ly at first. .
By the fortieth year it has de-
creased 81b., and this diminution cone
tinues at a' slightly increasing rate
until the fiftieth year is reached,
when the figure is 3301b.
After this period the strength fails
more and more rapidly, until. the
weakness of old age is reached. It
is not possible to give statistics of
the decline of strength after the fif-
tieth year, as it. varies to a large ex-
tent in different individuals.

Was in the Clutch of Bright's Di-
sease—Suffered. all the Symp-
toms of this Fearful Malady—
But He Took Dodd's Kidney
Pills in Time.
Ottawa, Sept. 16, (Special).—A
fortunate young man is FranrO Chart -
rand of this city for by the merest
chance he was saved from that mod-
ern curse so dreaded by doctors,
Bright's Disease, the incurable mal-
ady of the Kidneys.
The story of Mr. Chartrand's es-
cape from this dreadful disease is
best told in his own words:
"I had been greatly troubled by
my Kidneys for two years, since hav-
ing a dose of the grip. 1 suffered
with backache and I always felt
drowsy and very heavy in the limbs,
with frequent severe headaches and
oftener still severe pains in the top
of my head which prevented inc from
doing my work as I would like to do
it, Often my fingers and legs would
cramp and occasionally I felt pains
in the loins and a very heavy dizzy
eeling with shortness of breath, and
ain in the left side. Sometimes I
would eat very good meals and other
Mies I would take a biscuit and a
up. of tea and that. Would finish my
Meal. I had tender spots over the
ack of the spine and felt very tired
in.the region of the kidneys, with a
dragging heavy feeling across the
loins, in short there was no doubt I
was suffering from Bright's Disease.
"I kept taking the medicines the
doctors, gave me all this time but
they did me no good. A few weeks
ago 1 chanced to tell a friend that I
had 'given Up hope.
" 'Why don't yore try Dodd's Kid-
ney Pills?: he tad me.
"I went directly to the drug store
and got three boxes which 1 have
used and which have so much im-
proved my health that without hesi-
tation I say I am sure it is but a
matter of a short time till I become
completely and permanently cured."
