His Face Was Covered
Pimples are not a serious trouble, but
they are very unsightly.
Pimples are .caused wholly by bad
blood, and to get rid of ahem it is.neces-
eery to purify the blood of all its rola
purities.

remarkable cures; the pimples have all.
disappeared, and a bright, clean, com-
plexion, left behind,
Mr. Lennox D. Cooke, Indian Path,
N.S., writes: "I am writing you a few
lines to tell you what Burdock Blood
Hitters has done for me. Last winter my
face was covered with pimples. I tried
}•different kinds of medicine, and all
seemed to fail. I was one day to a
friend's' louse, and there they advised me
to use B.B.B., so I purchased two bottles,
and before I had them taken I found I
was getting better. I got two more,
and when they were finished I was
completely cured. I find it is a great
blood purifier, and I recommend it to all."
Burdock Blood Bitters has been on the
market for the past forty years, and is
manufactured only by The T, Milburn

Madame Dieulafoy Fought as a Sold-
ier and Explored in Asia,
In the sixty-five years of her life,
Madame Jane Dieulafoy, who died in
Paris, recently, passed through ex-
periences which caused her to be re-
garded as one of the most remarkable
women in France:
She was born in Toulouse, and was
not yet out of her 'teens when she
was married to Marcel Auguste Dieu-
lafoy, a young engineer. He went to
the front during the Franco-Prussian
war and took his bride with him. She
disguised herself as a man in the
regulation French teniform and fought
by her husband's side. Both returned
unscathed from the battlefields. In
the '80's her husbaind, who had estab-
lished a high reputation as an engine-
er, was commissioned to go to Asia
for archaeological researches. It was
a dangerous e and • arduous • task, but
Madame Dieulafoy elected to accomp-
any him, She spent several years
with hint :in Chaldea ,and Persia, shar-
ing his 'work and perils: They were
rewarded • by discovering the ruins of
the palaces of Darius and Artaxerxes.
After returning to France, Madame
Dieulafoy, who had become accustom-
ed during her travels tq the, constant
wearing of man's costume, received
authorization to appear in; .public in
this apparel. She wrote a large num-
ber, of books on historical, archaeo-
logical and rotnantie themes, one of
which was cited by the French
Academy as of especial excellence,

SIB WILLIAM ROBERTSON'S ME-
TEORIC RISE.
Re Is Now Spoken of as the Man the
'British Nation
Wants.
Here is something about the man
who has succeeded the late Lord
Kitchener as British Secretary of
War. This article was written before
Lord Kitchener's death:
Some time ago an English general
found himself at dinner beside a wo-
man for many years famous in Lon-
don society. In the course of conver-
sation he mentioned, quite naturally,
that the last time he had seen her he
was standing behind her chair in "uni
form"—not the King's, but a private
employer's, and not of khaki, bub of
plush. He had been a footman before
he became a soldier,
The general was Sir William Rob-
ertson, whose name has been so fre-
quently quoted in recent speeches,
especially those of Sir Edward Car-
son and Mr, Lloyd George, and who
has been advertised elsewhere (not
by his own wish, you may be sure)

The story has more meaning than
most anecdotes of great men, because

unaffected character of this gifted
organizer. He does not, like some
self-made and self-educated men,

acles of his success; he does not, like
others, shrink from all recollection of
humble beginnings. He simply ac -

cepts the fact, as all others, with per-
fect balance. Ib is nothing to be
ashamed o1, but nothing very remark-
able after all. Was not Murat a
stable lad, Lannes a dyer, and Ney
a peasant?
Balance—the balance of energies
and not of doubts or hesitation—is, 1
f in fact, the leading characteristic of
Sir William Robertson's character.
His face bespeaks quiet strength, the
massive head set on broad, square i
shoulders, the shaggy eyebrows, the i
penetrating glance tell equally of
mental and physical strength. His
ordinary expression is one of pur-
posefulgravitybut there i
ins humor
and sympathy his clear eyes when
occasion calls, and he knows how bo
laugh as well as any North-country-
inan. He belongs, in short, to that
plain, simple type, strong and kindly,
but forceful in word and deed, com- 1
mon in Northern Britain.
am,
Rise to Fame.
But though he belongs to the High-
land Robertson's, the only mountain
clan of Saxon blood, he himself was
born fifty-six years ago at Woburn,
being the eldest son of Mr. Thomas
C. Robertson. After the start in life
to which reference has been made, he
enlisted in the Royal Scots Greys,
and soon attracted attention by his
ability, his extreme thoroughness, and
his high sense of duty. In 1888 he was
given a commission in the 3rd Dra-
goon Guards, and from that time his
career has been one of ever-increas-
ing distinction. Yet the man is so
modest, so averse from any kind of
display, that outside of the army few
had heard of him until he became one
of the greatest figures of the war.
Sir William was railway transport
officer in the Miranzai and Black
Mountain Expeditions on the North-
west frontier of India in 1891, and
almost immediately after was appoint-
ed a staff captain and D.A.Q.M.G. in
the Intelligence Department, at army*
headquarters at Simla. He served as
intelligence officer with the Chitral
Relief Force in 1895, and then nearly
lost his life. His party was treacher-
ously attacked and he was left for
dead by his escort. He survived, how-
ever, his very serious wounds, and
came out with a reputation that en-
sured his employment as D.A.A.G. for
intelligence with army headquarters in
South Africa during the Boer War.
At the War Office.
Six years at the War Office and
t six 'at Aldershot added to Sir •
Wil-
ilam's t:'eputetion es en administra-
tor. Ws three years as Commandant
of the Staff College made his name a
household word amongthe corps of
officers, He was strict without Un-
due
i -due severity, thorough without pe
dantry. As a lecturer this highly.
practical soldier, the ideal of a man of
action, was a most conspicuous suc-
cess.
In 1913 Sir William Robertson went
to the War Office as Director of Mili-
tary Training. On the outbreak of
war he joined Lord French's Staff as
Quartermaster -General, and was spe-
cially mentioned for his services dur-
ing the retreat from Mons and the
subsequent advance to the Aisne.
Such is a brief catalogue of dates
in the career of the man who has
worked a revolution 'since he took up
his duties as Chief of the Imperial
Staff. But the record, remarkable as
it is in its barest outlines, gives little
notion of the peculiar abilities which
enabled a private soldier, starting life
with every handicap and owing noth-
ing bo fortune or favor, to attain the
unquestionable confidence of every of-
ficer in the British army. Sir Wil-
liam has vision, a way of seeing what
ought to be done and getting it done,
and it tempered energy that is equal-
ly adapted for avoiding and overcom-
ing .obstacles.
A False Impression.
His department, if we are to be-
lieve Sir Edward Carson, stood in need
of improvement before he was ap-
pointed; and this has been interpreted
in some quarters as an indictment of
Lord Kitchener. It should. rather be
regarded as a compliment. The busi-
nesse of the Secretary for War is to
be responsible for the work of the
War Office as awhole, and not, as
some people seem bo think, to attempt
the impossible task of bearing the
whole burden himself; and if, as is un-
douletedly the case, the work of the
Chief of the Imperial General Staff
is better done than formerly, it is.
to the credit of Lord Kitchener that
he found the right man and put him
in his present office as soon as he
could be spared from France.
That Sir William is the right man
few will be rash enough to deny, and
certainly none who shared with him
the labors and perils of those terrible
early days of the war, when a • grave
mistake on the part of his department
would have spelled disaster. One
needs to have been in touch with men
with memories of the Mons retreat to
understand the confidence they felt in
this quiet, strong man, of the steady
gaze and sturdy, assured carriage,
who seemed to carry on his shoulders
with the ease of Atlas all the multitu-
dinous worries of his complicated job,
and knew everything that had happen-
ed, and would or could happen in his
department.
HIS OTHER`SELF.
An Incident of Comedian Foote's Visit
to Dublin.
In a recent collection of anecdotes
of famous mimies there is an amusing
story of the celebrated comedian,
Foote introduced a scene in which he
mimicked the carriage, speech and
personal peculiarities of several local
celebrities. The imitations, although
presented with a touch of caricature,
were not ill-natured, and most of the
victims accepted the jest at their ex-
pense without protest, if they did not
wholly enjoy it. But there was one,
a well-known printer with several .
ludicrous little oddities of manner,
who angdily resented both seeing him-
self as others saw him, and being a
source of public amusement, He re-
solved to put a stop to the clever act-
or's impudence. Collecting a score
or more of street urchins, he treated
them to a supper, gave them each a
shilling to buy a seat in the gallery,
and promised them another treat the
next day if they would hiss Foote off
the stage. They promised with glee;
but his friends who attended the per-
formance that night reported that not
a hiss was to be heard; on the con-
trary, the obnoxious scene of mimicry
was recieved with more boisterous ap-
plause than ever.
Naturally, the man was disappoint-
ed; when, the next morning, the
troop of boys turned up in exuberant
spirits, clamorously demanding the
promised reward, he repudiated the
claim, and heaped reproaches upon
their faithlessness. They in turn
were indignant and reproachful.
"Plazo, yer Honor, we did all we
could," explained their spokesman,
"for the actor man had heard of us,
and did not come at all, at all. And
so we had nobody to hiss. But when
we say yer Honor's own dear self.
come on, we did clap and clap and
clap, and showed you all the respect
and honor in our power; sure, ye Hon-
or must have seen and heard ? And
so yer Honor won't forget us because
yer Honor's enemy was afraid to
come, and left yer Honor to yer own
dear self ?"

32. This verse suggests that Luke
does not intend to follow the order of
time; verse 31 is the summary of an
exposition without which the call to
believe would have been unintelligi-
ble. We may be sure the jailer re-
lieved the missionaries' wounds and
hunger as soon as ever he had taken
in their message of hope. The gospel
story was told to the whole family
when they were up in the jailer's
house, and the baptism was the climax,

Despite some belated commentators,
there is all the difference between be-
lieve and believe in, the first, in
Greek as in English, being limited to
accepting some one's word. To take
God at his word of course logically in-
volves the higher trust, so that there
is less difference; but in John 8. 80. 31
the two phrases denote very differ-
ent people—watch the sequel with
the men who had only "believed"
Jesus! In Acts 27. 25 and 1 John 5.

verse.
WHERE THEY CAME FROM.
Words Which Have No Connection
With the Subject,
The word "sweetheart" seem every-
thing it ought to be for expressive-
ness. One would naturally think it
had been coined for the occasion, like
such a word as "honeysuckle."
But that is a delusion and a snare.
It has no more to do with "heart" than
it has with "lungs." It is a word
that belongs to the class which ine
culdes "sluggard" and "coward" and
"dullard" and : "niggard". Pretty
company for a poet's word! But it
is true, though sad, that "sweetheart"
ought to be spelled "sweetard" l
When you say that you have made
an opponent eat bumble pie, you are
quite certain it means that he had to
humiliate himself before your super-
ior wisdom or righteousness or dign-
ity. As a matter of fact, the word

Mr. Frank E. Anthony,: 69 Ellen
Street, Winnipeg, Man., writes: "Having
taken several bottles of Dr. Wood's
Norway Pine Syrup, during the past few
weeks, to relieve a chronic cough and
general throat trouble, allow the to ex-,

thanks as t6 its sterling qualities. A
short time ago I became suddenly subject
to violent coughing fists at night, and
directly after rising in the morning, for
about an hour, and found I was ,gradually
losing weight. All my friends cheerfully
informed me that I looked,as though
I were going in consumption, and I

lost weight.I have no hesitation is

Who has not joined in a country
dance? Of course, the country dance
reminds one of maypoles and merry -
makings and harvest homes. Sir
Roger de Coverley and his quaint
rural manners and ways seem insep-
arably conceted with the dance. But
it has no more connection with fields
and haystacks and cornricks than the
turkey -trot. The partners in the
dance face each other, and our allies,
the French, therefore called it a
"contre dense"! There you are!
The secret's out.
What are "kickshaws"? Just the

way, because a man named Outram
invented them, just as a man named
Macadam invented macadamised
roads.—Loudon Answers.
