Captain John Leslie, of New South Wales, stood on the bridge of the Platuria and refused to leave position. One of the lifeboats was launched, but the one I was in capsiz- ed, throwing about twenty of the crew Into the water.

The late Maj.~ Gen. Funston was once employed as & botanist in the United States Agricultural Depart- ment. He was one of a party sent out to explore Death Valley in California. The experience is said to have been the cruelest in all Funston's life, and it so nearly proved fatal that he al- ways declared that he could not under- stand why he had not died or become mad. He had started out one morning to ride one hundred and twenty miles down the desert to mail some import- ant letters and packages at a post of- fice; All day his pony trudged over the desert, breaking through the crust up to its fetlocks and sending up be- neath its feet strangling, smoke-like clouds of powdered, white alkali. The thermometer rose that day to one hundred and forty-seven degrees, a height no one there had ever seen it reach before. The hot air blew across the wastes so dry, so penetrat- ing, that it peeled the skin from Fun- ston's face, parched his lips and made them bleed, stung and burned his nos- trils, and caused a thirst that nothing could satisfy. He had only a quart of water in his canteen and no forage for his horse, and, realizing that to go on - farther meant certain death, he decided to re- turn. He Bicketed his horse in the evening, slept until three o'clock in the morning, then mounted and started back. When the fiery sun rose over the mountains his horse gave out and red weakly; and so Funston dismounted and led it. For many miles he walked, determined, in spite of his agony, not to glve up until life left Suddenly. he heard two distinct shots. He stopped and looked in ery direction, but could see no oe or sign of If anything human on the desert.

I remember, says a writer in the the battle of Zutphen bit deeply into' my imagination. I derived it from a large, popular history of England, "in which the incident was made the sub- ject of a full-page engraving over which I used to linger with delight. For years afterwayds the picture, with additions and embellishments, would come back at intervals to my mind. The scene, as I envisaged it, was re- plete with an ornate dignity. The bat- tle raged decorously in the back- ground; men in correct attitudes, with corselets and bright lances, stood about; in the centre lay the dying hero, an arresting ' figure, with his curled and, I suppose, perfumed ring- lets, his elegant sword hilt, his white 4 'take a after meals, : Recess} y 3 use tralizes an 3 and thus | painless + | Where the pallid ships are plying, "1 Sweeping in from East and West - { Temples lately love-forsaken Fortnightly Review, that when I was, a boy the story of Sir Philip Sidney at, : Ee The. r dinner pl merely lessens veness stomac! ves : ives a fatse gense of : if are Siibject to ce, belching, after eating an ow ounce of vite bis- | "from their druggist poonful in a HH ator Wy would be no further ity "for. drugs or medicines be: ted magnesia Tnstantly neu- dity, stops food, fer- 'mal, 'digestion oy alin ihe stomach to do its work without hin- drance. 3 | mentation a Marching Men, From the silver coasts outlying, Over crag and mountain crest, Up from desert, grove and glen, 'Still there come those hosts of men; In their hands the sword aflame, On their lips an ancient name, ~ Cleaving hearts and lives asunder,' Trampling thrones and empires under; They have entered and retaken, Earth itself their tread has shaken-- Marching men, marching men, Sleeping gods your shouts awaken!- --Helena Coleman. roti LEMONS WHITEN AND BEAUTIFY THE SKIN Make this beauty lotion cheaply for | your face, neck, arms and hands.

You saw the d of water offered (in a silver goblef¥; and then you be- held the knight, about to raise it to his lips, turning to the wounded sol- dier at his side, with his courteous "Friend, thy necessity is greater than mine." Certainly a grand thing done in the grand manner! In the earlier days of the war 1 came upon a. paragraph im a news- paper. correspondent's letter about the fighting near Festubert. A British soldier was lying wounded on the ground, fevered with thirst, close by a German even more desperately hurt. | Stretcher bearers arrived and offered the Briton a tin of water. The man was reaching for it-eagerly when his glance fell on his tormented enemy. "After 'im," he said, and handed back the vessel for the German to drain. So. now, when I seek to recall my old vision of Sidney at Zutphen, it is blotted-out hy another: a vision of a man in drabbled khaki lying in the horrible crimsoned filth of no man's land; of another man in a torn gray tunic, drenched with blood, staring with wolfish eyes at the water; of the former shutting his own parched lips tight over his teeth and putting the precious draft by with a short, ill-said word of refusal. Surely a greater hero, that nameless cockney, than the sworded and scented courtier! "After im!" It is better than the nobly mel- lifluous phrase that made Sir Philip Sidney immortal. eter re Deafness in Soldiers. .
