Any of them Indicate that the blood is out of order; that the indoor life of winter has left Its} mark upon you and may easily de-' velop into more serious trouble. Don't dose yourself with purga- tives, as many people foolishly do, in the hope that you can put yourl blood right. Purgatives gallop! through the system and weakenj instead of giving strength.

The first woman officer of the First Aid Nursing Yeomanry Corps to receive her commission is Lieut. Lady Ernestine Hunt, tldestdauglr. ter of the Marquis of Allesbury. She will lead one of the troops of which the corps will be composed. She is well qualified for the work she has undertaken, having receive. ed a, thorough training as a nurse. She was a staff nurse at Krugers~ dorp during the Jameson Raid] The establishment of this corps of trained nurses should do much to prevent a repetition of what happened during the Boer War, when a, number of high-bred and romantic women, seeking notoriety more than anything else, went out to South Africa as nurses. Totally incompetent, these women were not only in the way, but the cause of much unnecessary suffering on the part of the unfortunate patients} who happened to fail into their! hands. In the summer it is proposed that the Yeomanry Corps shall go into camp, where they will attend personally to their horses and per- form many of the duties which fall upon a casrplryman under canvas. The minimum height for recruits in the yeomanry is 5 feet 3 inches, as a woman under that height has difficulty in mounting without help. There is no intention that these nurses when on active service shall encroach upon the work of the am- bulanee corps. They will not re- move the wounded, but will render first aid, further hospital work be- ing left to the organizations with- in wh se province it falls, WILL GO INTO CAMP. - Many of the women who join are suffieiontly well-to-do to have horses of their own, but for those who cannot afford the. expense Capt. Baker is recruiting a corps of nursing infantry. In each case he is ambitious, and says that; he is aiming at a strength of one thou- sand yeomanry and three thousand infantry: 7 All members are expected to re- main in the corps for at least tsirelve months and to attend riding school once a week. Applicants must pass a corps doctor and ac- quire a knowledge of first aid. Each applicant for admission to thexlorps is teld, "Your work in war Ff'JttA't4it to follow the fight- ing line and catch the men as they drop." This prospect does not discourage applicants, and a steady stream of smartly attired women, many of them wives and daughters of army offieers, pours into the re- cruiting ofhee to interview Capt. Baker, the commander of the corps. ( These women all lead an open l air life, and are good horsemen land fine game shots, and they think lthese qualifications could be put ito better practical use than in do- ling hospital work. They want to lstand shoulder to shoulder with Jtheir brethren'in the fighting line ’should there ever arise an emer- gency desperate enough to require their services. They propose that ithe many women throughout the British Empire who possess the fsame qualifications as themselves lshall be formed into a, league on lthe lines of the British Legion of iyrcmtiersmep, thus becoming an 1 Imperial regiment of Amazons, with; (branches in every colony, ready to; {answer the call to arms wheneverl [it is sounded, The matter of uniform is offering no obstacle to the rapid growth of the First Aid Nursing Yeomanry Corps. All the members seem per- fectly content with a dress by no means elaborate. They look very smart in short dark blue skirts, high black boots, scarlet tunics, white belts and peaked cloth caps, all of yhieh they have to provide tkcuserves, for the body is purely voluntary. _ - It is suggested that the head- quarters should be in London. The regiment would be entirely femin- ine, from drummer girl to toffieer. Influential and capable women would be appointed squadron lead- ers and troop officers, and the in, struction would include riding, scouting, driving, ride and revol- ver practice, signaling (telegraphic, lamp, flag and heliograph), de- spatch carrying and all sorts of postal work. Such, in brief, is the scheme. Good progress is being made in the formation in London, England, of a mounted corps of women nurses, whose duty it will be to fol- low the army in battle and render first aid to the wounded. The lat- est feminine candidates for mili- tary honors, however, are not satis- fied with the scope offered them as members of a, nursing corps. TWELVE MONTHS' COURSE.

In February, 1812, There Were Nearly 16,000 Idle in Liverpool. Lack of employment is not a new question. Says the Liverpool Mer.. cury of Feb. 14, 1812: "It is of the highest importance that a commit- tee of the legislature should im.. ‘mediately inquire into the causes of the present want of employment among tho laboring classes, and whether means might not be found in a, nation of which the revenue is immense by which a, succession of public works," etc., etc. There were at that time, nearly, a hun- dred years ago, 16,000 unemployed in Liverpool. The same writer,‘ after asking, "Is war the only em-l ployment that the state has to give the poor?” goes on to show that the pyramids of Egypt and the "elegant edihces of Greece" were built with the one object of “giv-l ing continual employment to thei laborer."

The baroness eventually asked the girl whether she would enter her service as a lady's maid. She agreed and discharged her duties to perfection for a fortnight and then revealed "herself" as a young Russian nobleman named Maximoff, who, taking advantage of his fair hair and complexion, had masquer- aded as a domestic servant to break down the barriers with which the beautiful baroness had surround- ed herself. The baroness was so much im- pressed by his extraordinary per- severance that she became engaged to him, and the marriage took place a few days ago. l All theNyoung cavaliers of Mos- cow were hopelessly in love with her. The baroness, however, re- jected all attempts to obtain an introduction to her and lived in perfect seclusion, attended only by an elderly relative. Some months ago a. young peasant girl began to visit the residence of the baroness, offering the servants cheap articles for sale. Subsequently the baron- ess used to buy different articles from the peasant, who was intel- ligent, had good manners and CC)tl- siderable conversational talents. 3 Posed as a Lady's Maid to Make Love to Baroness.
