FAMOTH BATTLE Mast Years of a, Famous English Surgeon. Among the great names of the nineteenth century none shines more honorably than that of the famous English, surgeon, Sir James Paget. Hie tireless onergyiend persevinemee, his patience and courage- through the long years of poverey, his scorn of theap cleverness, his love of wis- dom, his tenderness to the pooe and suffering, his loyalty to his friends and devotion to his family united in forming a character of rare strength ,ancl quality. Yet to those` who knew him best his real greatness was revealed, not when he stood at the height of his powee, but when, old 'and helpless and suffering, he was fighting the 4ast battle of life. He had won his -way from obscurity to the first place in his profession. He had enjoyed an ideal home life, end counted some of the -greatest personages of Eng- land among his friends. Changes came at last. fIls wife, whose love had been his 'inspiration for fifty years, faded gently away. One after another his friends, too, exossed the unseen river. Bit by bit his life -work had to be laid aside; filially the physician whose skill had .eaved so many thousands' of lives became himself a helpless invalid, waiting for death, iffe understood -the clear brain did ,not fail. But no one over heard a Avora of complaint through all the years of that hard bettle, This ie his sone) tribete: • 'Though. one wrote forever ono could not describe the wonder of those last years • of his life, One looks beck at the infinite fullness and energy and strong will of hie whole life, at his devotion to sci- ence, at his laborious practice, his hospitalities, his holidnys, his keen love of art and his felendehips, and it is impossible to meet:litre the height • to which through eighty yeers he roses that, he might attain the consummate triumph of hie filial old age away from the World.'' True greatness never happens. Men min coequer physical forees for suc- ceeding e;onerations,. but battles or the soul no man eau fight for an- other.

ANNIVERSARY. OP THE BAT-, TLE OV WATERLOO, Few Survivors of the Sikh, The GlorionS Charge Of Zeleclava, In days of Yore, whoa the TM Duke waft alive, one of the features Pf the seaSon was the Water100 ban- quet, asmeally held on the anniver- sary of tbe battle by the Duke ia the. prinoipal pieture gallery 01 Alteley House, a room that aPprO- Oriately bears the title of the Waterleo Chamber, says London Tit -Bits. If the veterans of 1815 were col- lected to -day in that room, which Is 90 feet long, it le to be feared that its appearance would be some- what empty, especielly in view of the fact that when in 1000 the sur- vivors of the Sikh War, belonging to tho 1.6th Laneer,s, which campaign took place thirty odd years after \Vittorio°' were invited to be the guests oftho inembers ef the Allwal Dinner Fund, it was discovered that there were only six men of that regiment still alive who took part in the glorious charge -"through and back" --that decided the battle, which has been, described as a vie - tory that was technically without a flaw. Of the haledozea survivors Uwee of the 16th, who were red by that Sir Harry Snaith whose wife lent her name. to Ladysmith, and who broke a Sikh square, were too aged and infirm to put in an. ap- pearance, and were locilced after in another manner. On the last anni- versary only two were present to stand in reepoese When Sir Henry Wilkinson proposed the toast of 'Vim Veterans." Another battle dinner connected in tee minds of tho diners with a glor- ious charge is that knowh as the "Death or Glory" dinner, the said phrase being the motto of the 17th Lamers. It is, perhaps, unnecessary Lo state, so well known is the great exploit of that regiment, that the said dinner is held on October 25th, the anniversary of the CHARGE 01" BALA.CLA.yA. At this dinner some of tbe items of the meuu aro reminiscent of the Criinea, for, in addition to este Rose and decal hares and pheasants pro- vided by HEM. the Duke of Cam- bridge, tbe 'Colonel -in -Chief of Um regiment, there are such delicacies as "Balaclava Pudding and Death or Glory Sauce," "Macedoine Jelly" and "Charlotte Russo," which- have a Black Sca flavor about their names, but, let us hasten to add. one that is not apparent in their taste. On the forty-sixth anniver- sary of the battle three survivors of the charge, we believe, were present, end a very pathetic feature ci the occasion'was the fact that the med- als of Sergeant O'Gorman reposed on the cliairmtin's table. These medals were pledged in Philadelphia, A SURPRISED DOCTOR. SAID A CASE OF ST. VITUS' DANCE COULD NOT BE CURED. Called One Day and Found the Patient Ironing and Learner; That Dr, Williams' Pink Pill: Had Succeeded Where Othe. Medicines Had Failed. The sufferer from St. Netus' dance. even in a mild form, is much to bt pitied, but when the disease assumes an aggravated form the patient is usually as helpless as an infant, mid las to be watched with as much care. St. Vitus' dance is a clisen.m of the' nerves and must be treated through them, and for this purposs there is no other medicine in the world acts so speedily as Dr. \Vile limns' Pink Pills. .Proof of this statement is found in the euro of Miss Louise Lulfman, whose home is at Pouther's Mills, Ont., who was cured by these pills after two doc- tors had failed to Ito:milt her ih the least. The young lady's mother tells the story of her daughter's illness, as follows ;-"1 do not think it possible anyone could be afflicted with a. more severe form of St. Vitas' dance then thet.which attacked my daugh- ter Louise. Her arms and legs woula twitch and jerk, her face wan drawn and finally her left gide be- came muni3 es though paralyzed. 'Pwo doctors attended her, but their treatment not only did not help hor but she -grew steadily worse. 13er tongue became swollen, her speech thick and indistinct, and she could neither sit still nor stand still. She could not hold anything in her band and it was necessary to watch her all the time as we feared she would injure herself, Tho doctor who at- tended her told me she would never get better, and it was then that 1 decided to try Dr, \\Whams' Pink Pills.'

About fifteen yeers back, an Aese 'Wan, named Carl Peeled, tried to establish himself king of, a small tract of land Nova Scotia, He began very promisingly bet irnprov- 1113' the land, buliding houses, farms and v. small railway. Then he in- vented laws, governing his territory, many of which were excellent; one, fee instance, prohibiting intoxicants or intoxicated persons being intro- cluccel within the limits of his king- dom. He also aecreed that any law- breaker within his kingdom, who was unable to pay such fines as he settled as penalties for certain of- fences, should workoff their sen- tences on the land of any person who •would make the highest bid for their services, the money raised in thin WaY, rind by fines, to bo applied to borne, should be repeated on each occasion in the future, for Lhey could hardly be improved uport.

The uniform of the Royal Dragoons when at home is red with -blue fac- ings, a fact that doubtless accounted to a certain extent for the color scheme of the table detorations. A very interestieg siege dinner was held a year last Jenie,when the survivors of the Lueknow garrison, including', for the first time in the history Of this anniversary banquet, ladies who passed through the trials and tribulations of the siege of 1357, gathered together under the rreat- tielIcY Of Lieutenant -General leneS, Y.C.- The company included nine combatant members of tbe garrison, nine women, and seven children who wont through the siege, and in ad- dition to these nen members of the relic\ leg force were also present. Among the nine ladies at the dinner were three who had given birth to baby boys at Lucicnow during the siege, and ono of the seven children who servIved those troublesome times, who was also present, Was Mr. A. Dashwood, who was born during that terrible turmoil. Mr. Dash wood was last year joined by two other children of the siege in Messrs. R. A. Fayrer and J. W.
