family in the peerage. W'hen the Mah- dists overrun the Soudan the present Lord Dundonald (then called Lord Coch- rane, his futher being alive) was serving in Egypt. He was in the square at Abouklea when t-he Fuzzy Vv'uzzies broke it, and was within a few yards of Fred Burnaby when that gallant officer and Wu-» gorrespondent was killed. »Soon after this the commanding officer called for fi volunteer to carry a message to Sir Redvers Buller, who commanded the new-gs; British forces. Some one was needed who could steer by the stars across long miles of desert to guide the Pa,-gy which was taking the wounded to the wells, and then to ride on and take the news to General Buller. The only mm who had the requisite astronomical knowledge tmned out to be LordCo¢hrane in the Life Guards, al:out22 years old. His offer was excepted. He guided the wounded safely to the wells, and then, leaving them there. rode on alone through the desert, in danger every moment of le- ing cut off by" prowling detaclrments ofthe mem,-, It was day-break when he reach- ed Sir Redvers Bullet, whom he found camped under a palm tree with no tent and only a single blanket. He was so ex- hausted with fatigue and cold that it was not until he had a pull at Sir Redver`s whisky flask that he was ab‘e to deliver his message. His message was that Khar- umm had fa‘len and General Gordon was , dead. One of Lord Dundonald`s ancestors was concerned inthe plot toblow up Charles II. and his brother, the Duke of York, and

‘ Heart DiS¢3S€.

Some Facts Regarding the Rapid In-

crease of Heart Trouble.

Hart trouble, at least among the Ameri- cana, ‘B certainly increasing and while this iq he largely due to the excitement and wary of American business life, it is more dmthe result of weak stomachs, of poor

dkestion. ` Bealorganic disease is incurable; but not one casein a hundred of heart trouble is organic. The close relation between heart trouble

and poor digestion is because both organs areeontrolled by the same great nerves, the Sympathetic and the Pneumogastric. In another way also the heart is affected bythe form of poor digestion, which causes gzsand fermentation from half digested food. There is a feeling of oppression and heaviness in the chest caused by pressure of the distended stomach on the heart and lungs, interfering with their action; hence arises palpitation and short breath.

Poor digestion also poisons the blood,

making it thin and watery, which irritates and weakens the heart. ` The most sensible treatment for heart trouble is to improve the digestion and to insure the prompt assimilation of food. This can be done by the regular use after

meals of some safe, pleasant and effective digestive preparation, like Stuart’s Dyspepsis Tablets, which may be found at drug stores, and which contain valuable, harmless digestive elements in a. pleasant, convenient form.

Itis safe to say that the regular, persist- ent use of Stuart`s Dyspepsia Tablets at meal time will cure any form of stomach trouble except cancer of the stomach.

The present Lord‘s grandfather, who

did most of his fighting under the name of Cochrane, had the most varied and adventurous career of the lot. He was a born soldier of fortune and in Peru and Chili are statuts erected to “El Almirante Cochrane," while Chile always hasaman-of-war bearing his name. He was a sea terror and all the South

Atlantic sides, remembers his name and daring deeds. As a. young man and an oflicer in the British navy he ,began his career by fighting against the French and

armed vessel carrying a crew of only fifty-four men, he tackled the Spanish frigate El Gamo, carrying a. crew of 319 men, and captured her. Later, with a larger command, he sailed into t-heBasque Roads, where the French Beet was at an- c'ior, and destroyed four of the enemy’s sfiips. He was a member of the House §of Commons and a national hero. Then one day he was accused of having spread a. f .lse report of Napolcon’s death for stock- _iobbing purposes, was tried, convicted, expelled from the House and the navy and fined and imprisoned for a. year. \Vhen he got out ofjail he went to South America and entered the service of Chili,

ized the Chilian navy, and with only one frigate and a few old vessels managed to neutralise a powerful Spanish squadron. He stormed and took Vladivia in 1820 and transported an insurgent army to Peru to fight the Spanish there. He blockaded Callao, t-hen held by the Spanish, and cut out the Spanish frigate Esmeralda from under the guns of the forts.

, London is to have so new khaki-clad mil- itary corps, a purely volunteer organiza- tion the rank and file of which is to be drawn from the best young blood in the city. The corps is to consist of a battal- ion of eight companies, each company to be 73fstrong, including all ranks, and it will be known as ‘London’s Own.” The father of the idea is Sergt-Major Munro, t of No I Co., R. C. R. I.,at Wolseley Bar- . racks, who ls, by the way, one of the imost capable drill instructors and one of the best all round soldiers '_ in Her Ma- jesty’s Canadian service. _When _ the en- thusiasm was kindled by the conspicuous _ gallantry of London boys in South Africa, ' the idea of forming a battalion of youths under the military age,as laid down in the Militia Act,of Canada,occurred to Sgt-Ma»_ jor Munro; He has now all but completed arrangements to put the idea into execution.

The battalion is to consist, as before

said, of eight companies, of 73 men each, including one captain, two subalterns,-one color-sergeant, three sérgeants, four cor- porals, two buglers, and 60 men. The battalion staff will, of course, be over and above his strength.

Candidates for enlistment must be 14

years of age or over, and under 18 years; they must be at least five feet __ in height and must have a chest measurement of not less than 30§inches; and no candidate who is not physically sound and well- ,formed will be accepted. The utmost

boys who will form thetbattalion. Every candidate must bring to the recruiting officer at Wolseley Barracks a signed re- commendation asto' character from some reputable citizen and also the consent of

two classes-A. and B-each member of the classes being numbered. The words selected were those in common use. They were spelled out by the umpire and mem- bers of the class in turn attempted their pronounciation. A record was "kept by the captains, of the number who pro- nounced them correctly, as well as of those who did not. At the close there was a summing up and a prize awarded to the one who pronounced the most words correctly and another to the one that-had the fewest words rightly pro-

nounced. It was a surprise to many in

the classes to Rnd that of the words used in common conversation so many were not pronounced according to the stand- ards. It was a useful exercise, an even- ing well and profitably spent',» and--we have no doubt that many of the members _ of the society will make an effortin future _to be more correct in their pronunciation. r It was pleasing to note the _with which the elderly members and the school children alike engaged in the con- test but it caused comment that the two school teachers present did not enter the lists when invited to take their chances with old farmers and school children, choosingrathertotake a back seat and criticise what they could not better. They evidently' thought prudence the better

The battalion will be uniformed as near-

. ly as possible like Ca.nada.'s fighting regi-

§ sist of khaki jacket and trousers, service 1 pattcrnfkhaki service cap, spots and put-

) tees, and canvas bandolier, waist and t cross belt. The regimental cap and waist belt badge or ornament will be the c_ity’s coatcf arms. _

The battalion will be armed with either-

the short Snider rifle, with modified bay- onet, or the Martini Metford. t Sergt.-Major Munro has evolved a new and modified drill for the new regiment which will prove far superior to the pre- sent complicated drill of the British ser- _ vice. _ i ‘l,ond0n’s Own’ will be made the smart- est the kind in Canada.; indeed thereis no other organization like it in the country, and the benent to be derived by the youth of the city from the training and discipline will be inestlmahle. The corps will be entirely independent of the Militia Act, and discipline will be en- forced lmpartially under the following __ rules: ` 1. Signers of the Service Roll of - the corps entitled‘Loudon’s0wn’agreeto serve in the said corps fora term of three years from date of signing, should their services

care is to be taken in the selection of the '

proper authority and settling all their lia- bilities to the corps.” '

2. They agree to attend at such

thereof, and whilegoing to or from the same, to obey punctnally and lm-' pllclty all lawful orders and commands ll

namely the organizer in command and those appointed by him. _

4. They further agree that if mound iq
