Nothing for Himself. Known all over Europe as the greatest expert in existence on hos- pital finance and administration, all his work for these institutions has"been done without the slightest remuneration, and with the sole object of relieving suffering. He never loses an opportunity to promote liberality towards the hos- pitals in which he is interested. On one occasion he struck up an ac- quaintance on an ommibus in the city with a couple of Americans from. one of the Western States. 'Where are you going?' he asked. "To the Tower of London," the answer. "Why, that is a second-rate af- fair compared with the Poplar Hos- pital. You can't leave England without seeing it. - Come along with me and I will show you over."' They went over it. They did nof seem. particularly pleased at the erition of their morning's pro- gramme.

There is considerable historic [significance in the circumstance Fthat the O.P.R. has just taken for btheé winter months the old Cunard building erected by the founder of the Cunard line--Mr., Samuel Cu- nard, who was a Halifax man and who made his name famous in the shipping and mercantile world. It was to Halifax that he brought his first ships; it was in the old office he bent over his task. There is a new day and new methods, and a degree of expansion of which he could not have dreamt. The ship- ping business has increased a hun- dredfold during the last half cen- tury. The stress and strain of life are indicated by the speed demand- the old founder could not have foreseen in his most prescient mo- ment. The old house (or offices) is a three-storey building of stone with the quaint old windows hint- ing a quiet and sedate world which minded its business and did not bo- ther looking out ab hobble skirts. The name is cut on the old build- ing--"8. Cunard"--offering a me- mento of the past full of interest, a8 suggesting at once the emall be- ginnings of a great business to which he devoted his energy and genius and the amazing develop- ment of that business, keeping pace with modern demand, by the C.P.R.

But, after all, the advertisement does not address itself to colonels retired; it is to "all single men of good character, between 18 and 26 years of age" that the army offers 'good wages, good food an unique opportunities for sports = and ames, . In addition to the page 'advertise- ments in the newspapers the War Of- fice is jssulng an attractive little book called "The Army and What It Offers." * Kast Officer of Light Brigade. Sir George Wombwell, the last sur- viving officer in the charge of the Light Brigude at Balaclava, who died Oct, 16, aged 80, left estate of the gross value of $1,827,166. The testator left the saddle, bridle, pistols and holster formerly belonging to John, Lord Belasyse of Worlaby, and by tradition used by Ollver Cromwell, the tapestry, statuary, three Chippen- dule looking glasses, certain furniiure, the MSS. and books in his lbary, two svater-colors¢of Yorkshire scenes and the Fauconberg plate to devolve as heir- ooms. He directed that hls remains should be buried at Coxwold without a leaden coffin and that no hearse or coaches should be used at his funeral, his body being borne by tenants or laborers on his estate.
