NOW A GARDENER KENT ESTATE ON Aged African Recalls How Noted Explorer Saved Him from Slave Traders. An aged African Negro, who as a young boy was rescued fr&m a Portu- guese slave-trading party, by David Livingstone, has bean discovered la the little village of Chielehurst, In Kent. He is known as Arab Makep- po, and he Is not certain of his age. He only knows that it was very many years ago and that he was a very small black boy when the party which had raided his native village, and to which he was sold by aa older brother, was attacked by red-coated British soldiers attacEed to the- Livingstone party and he and his fellow slaves, both men and women, were rescued. The captured blacks were brought before Livingstone and the great ex- plorer took a f4ncy to the small Arab Makeppo and kept him for his "boy." The English party kept most of the men of the party with them, sending the women back to their native vll- Uges and then after learning the na- tive language cent them throughout the country to announce to the native tribes that the Englishmen were friends of the Africans and were bring- ing good-will with them. Thus was the way prepared for unmolested explora- tion In the farthest depths of the then little known continent Worships Memory of Explorer. Makeppo remained in the Living- stone party as the body-servant to its leader until the great adventurer died, and 'was then sent to England to school. Shortly after his arrival here he was christened freorge Watto by the English family which engaged him as a cook. He is a devout Christian and looks forward to again Joining his famous "Governor" when he dies. He remembers well the grim proces- sion of himself and his native rela- tions and friends as captives of the Portuguese. He says that the men were tied two by two to wooden col- lars, which they wore even In their sleep; the women were chained at wrists and ankles, the girls roped like hones while the little ones, himself among them, were allowed to run free, but were kept In the centre of the party. "We were frightened all the same," he said, "when the Redcoats began to fire on our captors." He worships the memory of the PAINFUL SCIATICA ANDNEURALGIA em Europe from the twelfth to the fourteenth centuries. The frequency with which Daniel appears as a given name in the old days indicates many unrelated families adopted it simul- taneously.

OF CANADA LIMITED Caused by Starved Nerves Due to Weak, Watery Blood. People think of neuralgia as a pain in the hetd or face, but neuralgia may affect any nerve of the body. Differ- ent names are given to It when It af- fects certain nerves. Thus neuralgia of the sciatica nerve Is called sciatica, but the character of the pain and the nature of the disease is the same, and the remedy to be effective, must be the same. The pain, whether It takes the form of sciatica or whether it af- fects the face and head, Is caused by starved nerves. The blood, which normally carries nourishment to the nerves, for some reason no longer does so and the excruciating pain you feel is the cry of the starved nerves for food. The reason why the blood falls to properly nourish the nerves is us- ually because the blood itself is weak and 'thin. When you build up the impoverished blod with Dr. Williams" Pink Pills, you are attacking sciatica, neuralgia and kindred diseases at the root. As proof of the value of Dr. WiUiams' Pink Pills in cases of this kind we give the state- ment of Mrs. Marion Bell, Port Elgin, Ont.. who saj-s: â€" "Some years ago I was attacked wrlth sciatica In my leg and hip. The pain was excruciating and finally I was forced to go to bed. Apparently all the doctor could do was to give ma drugs to dull the pain, as otherwise I found no relief. I had been In bed with the trouble for eight i weeks when a lady who came to see I me said that she had had a similar at- I tack, and had only found relief through ; the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I i decided at once to try this medicine, â-  and before I had taken more than I three box6s I found relief. I continued ! the use of the pills and under the treat- I ment the pain left me. I was able to walk again, and have not since had ! the least return of the trouble. I feel :that Dr. WUliams' Pink Pills have j been of such great benefit to me that ; I strongly urge similar sufferers to ' give them a fair trial." i Tou can get these pills from any I medicine dealer or by mall at 50 cents 'a box from The Dr. WiUlams" Medi- cine Co., Brockvllle, Ont.

Honors, wealth. ; titles have all been swept away by ; eight years of revolution. \ These exiles are content to begin . life in a new hems just as other im- ; migrants would. Positions as domes- '. titvs, as saleswomen or as ordinary la- ; borers are accepted.

She is the ' Baroness Lulblch de Lozina-Lozlnoky. j The baroness was a daughter of Baron Ivan Tehteglovitova, who was minister of Justice in Russia from 1905 to 1915. To him fell the task of pro- secuting and punishing offenderj in the revolution of 1905. No doubt he at- tracted his share of fear and hate. Immediately on the outbreak of the revolution in Russia in 1317 the baron was thrown into prison, where he re- mained during the regime of Kerensky. Then, in 1918, when some one shot at Lenlne, in retaliation the baron and other prisoners wei^ taken from a dun- geon below the Kremlin and put to death. SAVED BABY'S LIFE Mrs. Alfred Tranchemcntagne, St. Michel des Saints. Que., writes: â€" "Baby's Own Tablets are an excellent medicine. They saved my baby's life and I can highly recommend them to all mothers." Mrs. Tranchemontagne's experience ;s that of thousands of ether mothers who have tested the worth of Baby's Own Tablets. The Tablets are a sure and safe medicine for little ones and never fail to regu- late the bowels and stomach, thus re- lieving all the minor ills from which children ."suffer. They are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockvllle, Ont. How the English Make Toffee. Mix four cups of brown sugar and half a cup of corn syrup with half a cup of water, and put on the fire, stir- ring carefully until all the sugar is dissolved. Let this come to a boll and then take off the fire and add four tablespoons of butter. Put the mix- ture back on the stove once more and boll until the butter has penetrated throughout the candy. Pour onto a greased enameled ware tray of any kind and, as the candy cools, mark it Into squares. When it has hardened break these apart and wrap each piece separately in wax paper. Incidentally, you will find that the labor of "clean- ing up" is a great deal less if you have used an enameled ware saucepan for the cooking, since even the stickiest mixtures do not adhere long to Its por- claln-like surface. Garden Labds. Most garden labels are unsatisfac- tory because the names become oblit- erated so quickly. There is a method, however, by which labels can be pje- pared at home eo that they will re- main legible for ten years or more. It Is only necessary to buy a sheet of zinc and to cut it into labels of what- ever size you may desire. A hole, or better still two holes, can be punched in one end for the wires, which should be of copper. Strips adready cut and punched can be bought for a few cents If the gardener desires to avoid the labor of preparing them. Zinc labels have been marked with a prepared ink, but that Is not neces- aar}'. If the labels are exposed to the elements for a few weeks until they become oxydlxed the writing can be done with an ordinary lead pencil. Oxydizatlon can also be produced by immersing the labels In a bath of salt water for a few days. Also the results by this method are generally satlafactory, still better ones can be obtained by painting the zinc with a good gray paint after they have been oxydized. The paint should be thick and can be put on with a cloth, and the writing should be done when the paint is only partly dry. Chlropractically Speaking.

The rector of a fashionable London church wa« Induced to preach at a well-known prison. When In the ves- try he said to the prison chaplain: "Now I have come, I don't know what to say to your convicts." The chap- lain-replied, "Preach to them exactly as you do to your own congregation; and remember only one thing: my people have been found out and yours have not â€" yet." O At the Crossroads. A recruit wearing fonrteens in boots was enlisted in the Irish Free State army. One night he was Included in a rounding-up l>arty, and when the roll was called afterward he was absent.
