In the grim hour of battle there is small time for words; it is the time for the strong arm and the stout heart; 'and such words as are spoken must be few and to the point, No general knew better than that gallant Highlander, Sir Colin Camp- bell, how to say the words that fire Sourage or Toward brave deeds. nos t "day heroes" at Balaclava, when his Highlanders were awaiting the shock of the Russian cavalry, he rode down the line, and in two calm- ly-spoken sentences nerved every man for the death that seemed inevitable. "Remember, men," he sald, "there is no retreat from here. You must die where you stand." And With one voice the kilfed heroes gave back the answer, "Aye, aye, Sir Colin, we'll do that!" A little later, when the charge of "the gallant three hundred -- the Heavy Brigade--" had swept through the Russian horsemen and sent them fiylng, a tumbled wreck of squad- rons, the veteran, his face aglow with pride, galloped up, and shouted, "Greys, gallant Greys! I am sixty-one years old; but if I were a lad again 1 would be proud to join your ranks." When Collingwood's ship was about to open the great drama of Trefalgar, the adnfiral, calmly munching an apple on the break of his poop, suthmoned his officers, and said to them, "Now, gentlemen, let us do something to-day of which the world may talk hereafter." Within a few moments five line of battleships were emptying their guns into the Royal Sovereign, and every man on board was 'fighting like an angel." "Leave off action!" exclaimed Nel- son to his lieutenant, the stump of his lost-arm jérking angrily to and fro, when the admiral had given the sig- nal to discontinue the fight in the Battle of the Baltic. "Leave off ac- tion! I'm hanged if I do! You know, Foley," turning to his captain, "I've only one eye; 1've a right to be blind sometimes." And then, putting the glass to his blind eye, he exclaimed, "I really do mot see the signal. Keep mine for closer action flying." "If we succeed," sald Captain. Ber- ry to Nelson, at a critical moment in the Battle of the Nile, "what will the world say?" "There is no 'If' in this case," was Nelson's emphatic answer; "that we shall succeed is certain. Who will live to tell the story is a very dif- ferent question." Napoleon had called Wellington "a Sepoy gemeral," and this taunt was not forgotten when the crowning bat- tle opened on the plain of Waterloo. "1 will show him to-day," Wellington said, gleefully, 'how a Sepoy general can defend himself." A few hours later, as he sat with a few of his surviving officers at supper, his face black with the smoke of battle, "he repeatedly leaned®back in his chair, rubbing his hands convulsively, and exclaiming aloud, 'Thank God, I have mat him! Thank God, I have met him!' "" Throughout the long day of battle, when the fate of his corntry was in the balance, Wellington's moed was that whieh befitted vne of the great- esc soldiers the world has produced, "If you should be struck," ene of his generals asked him, "tell us what is your plan," "My plan," sald the duke, 'consists in dying here to the last man'; and when at last victory was assured and someone begged him to remember how valuable his life was, and not to expose it so reckless- ly to danger, he answered, proudly, "The battle is won. My life does not matter now." When, at Balaclava, Lucan teld Lord Cardigan to lead the Light Bri- gade on that mad charge down the "valley of death," Cardigan answer- ed, "Certainly, sir; but the Russians have & battery in our front, and rifie- men and batteries on. both flanks." Lucan, with a shrug of the shoulders, said, "We have no choice Lut to obey'; whereupon Cardigan turned quickly to his men. "The brigade will advance," he said, as he rode off at its head, saying to himself, 'Here goes the last of the Brudenells." "Clunes, take your Grenadiers and open the ball," were the words of Sir John Moore which started the fight- ing at Corunna. When, towards the close of the battle, Moore was dying, his chest shattered by a cannon-ball, 0 1 of his staff tried tg vnbuckle his sword, but the dying seldicr stopped him. "I had rather," he said, 'it should go out of the field with me." Turding to Col. , Be said, "Anderson, you know I have slways wished to die in this way. I hope my country will do me justice." Then, in a tone of apology, "I feel myself so strong, I fear I shall be long dy- ing." : "Do you see those fellows on the hill, Pakenham?" Wellington said, just before striking his decisive blow at Salamanca. "Move on with your division and drive them to the devil!" "Yen," was the answer, "if you will give me a grasp of that all-conquer- ing hand"; and in a few minutes Pak- enham's columns, advancing in the face of a tornado 'of bullets, had swept away the enemy as with the blast of a whirlwind.

Earl of Halsbury Is Almost Ninety Years of Age. The Earl of Halsbury, who figured in the late debate in the British House of Commons on the Home Rule Bill, who was one of the Tory "die- hards," and whose declaration that the time had come for a compromise was taken by the press to mean the passage of the Asquith bill, is con- sidered one of the most striking fig- ures In public life to-day. Oa the threshold of his ninetieth year, he a few months ago figured as chairman of the inquiry into the financial trans- actions of Lord Murray of Eiibank, and did it as well aa many a judge only old enough to be his-grandson. Lord Halsbury is the last living link to the law with the days of King George IV. and Queen Caroline: He was a "briefless barrister" when his father dled and left him absolutely with his way to make. Within twenty years he was Solicitor-General with an income of $75,000 a year. At the time he was Solicitor-General the Cabinet included such world-famous politicians as Lord Beaconsfield, Vis- count Cross, Lord Salisbury, Earl Cairns, the Dukes of Richmond, Northumberland, Marlborough and Rutland, the Earl of Derby, Lords Sandon and Iddesleigh. This distin- guished lawyer was educated at Mer- WHAT IS IT WORTH? The Premier Is the Biggest Diamond Mine In the World. Twenty-five miles east of Pretoria is what is known as the Premier Dia- mond Mine, the biggest in the world, where 15,000 Kaffirs may be seen any d:.y, digging, drilling, and leading trucks of "blue" earth, from which are extracted diamonds to the value of something like $10,000,000 per an- num. The total value of diamonds exported from South Africa in § year is about $425,000,000, and of this quantity about a quarter are discovered in the Premier Mine, the other two chief mines being the De Beers and Jagersfo.tein. The Premier Mine was really dis- covered by Sir Thomas Cullinan, the present chairman, after whom the great Cullinan diamond of 3,025 carats, discovered in the Premier Mine, was named. It may be remem- bered that this diamond was present- ed to King Edward by the Transvaal Government, and was cut into 11 flawless stones, the largest of which is in the Imperial Crown. The Pre- mier Mine possesses an area of 3,600 Saims, equal to 80 acres, and at the resent time $60,000,000 loads of treatable "blue," as the diamond- yielding earth is known, are dealt with every year. And such are the resources of the mine that it is eal- ton College, Oxford. He is ccnstable] culated that during the next 40 years of Launceston Castle, and high stew- ard of Oxford University, He was M.P. for Launcedton, and later was created Baron Halsbury of Halsbury, Devon, Viscount Tiverton of Tiverton, and Earl of Halsbury. The name of Giffard, which signifies liberal, is of great antiquity in the County of De- von, and the descent of the family is deduced from Walter Giffard, and Averton Giffard. Col. John Giffard, of Brightleigh, born 1602, was one of the staunchest adherents of Charles I. With his three kinsmen (all of whom were fined), Anthony Giffard of Landcross, William Giffard of Hansbury, and Roger Giffard of Tiverton Castle, he actively support- ed the royal cause, and was "deci- mated, sequestered, and imprisoned," and paid $1,136 as compensation for his estates. Cel. Giffard was a dis- tinguished soldier, and commanded in person the Devon pikemen at the Battle of Lansdowne Hill, After the Restoration he was selected to be a Knight of the Royal Oak. A folio Bible elaborately bound and clasped is still in the possession of the fam- ily, and traditionally the gift of the King to this eminent Royalist. Lord Halsbury is the patriarch of Fleet street, His father was the first editor of The London Standard when that journal was founded in 1827 to oppose Catholic emancipation. His grandfather, "Jack" Giffard, was editor of The Dublin Journal, a subsi- dized Government organ in the Irish capital. In his eighty-second year Lord Halsbury started editing "The Laws of England," a work upon which he is still engaged. Dogs In Warfare, Belgium, France and Germany lead in using dogs for purposes of war. Considering how well fitted) dogs are by nature for certain sorts of police work indispensable in war- time, it is curious that more of them are not in use. Hand to hand fighting bas, of course, been virtually done away with in modern warfare, and, there- fore, dogs are not so formidable as of old, but-for sentry duty or the seek- ing out of wounded. on battlefields dogs are invaluable. This was shown 'clearly during the Russo-Japanese war. l Far back in the time of the.an- | cients dogs served as sentries. Em-, peror Charles V. and Philip, King of Spain, employed them in this way, and Napoleon counseled Marmont to fasten dogs to stakes around the walls of Alexandria to watch and guard. It is well-known that dogs' senses are far more acute than those of hu- mans, especially the senses of scent and hearing, so invaluable in police work. Shaw of the Gi o In these days, when such great ex-army boxers as Gunner Molr, Bandeman Blake, and Bombardier Wells are so prominently in the pub- lic eye in Britain, it may be interest- ing to recall the feats of that great army boxing giant of 100 years ago, John Shaw, of the Life Guards. He stood 6 feet 4 inches in height, weighed 210 pounds, and was broad in proportion. In a few months af- ter enlistment he was the regimental champion at boxing, wrestling, and swordsmanship; and then he embark- ed on a series of great boxing encoun- ters. He first overcame the formidable Capt. Barclay, ene of the cleverest amateur boxers of that day, two of the captains' ribs being broken by Shaw in the contest. Then it took the latter only seveneen minutes to triu over the powerful Burrows, the West-Countryman, whom it had previously taken the famous Molin- eaux an hour to beat. Yet at that time Shaw was without science or ex- perience, and had nothing to rely on but his prodigious strength, » Hamel's Fate, A discovery which may throw some light upon the disappearance of the alrman Gustav Hamel, while flying the channel, was made at Littlehamp- ton recently. Two excursionists on the beach found an ordinary medicine bottle containing a single sheet of pa- per, on which was written, "Help; I am floating off coast of France. Quickly --G. Hamel." The note was dated May 19, written in copying ink pencil, and well preserved. The bot- tle was opened by Capt. Fred Phipps. Chapel In a Bell. The largest bell ever made was cast in Moscow, Russia, in 1733. Its | weight was 220 tons. It was a great deal too heavy to be used as a bell, 80 a hole wag made in it to serve as a door and the Interlor was used as w chapel.

At present the mine is about 350 feet deep, and it is considered 'prac- tical, according to The African Werld Annual, to work to a depth of 1,600 feet. The quality of the stones dis- covered is increasing in value with the depth and, in order to encourage honesty among the Kaffirs, a payment of three shillings a carat on all stones found and delivered to the compound manager is paid. In addition to the 15,000 Kaffirs, there are 1,000 whites working in the mine in var- ious capacities. It is wonderfully equipped with electric plant and ma- chinery, and is a fascinating sight after sunget, with a thousand electric lights twinkling, eight great search- lights concentrating on the crater, piercing the huge cloud of blue smoke rising from the mine after blasting, and many thousands of natives, rush- ing down the side of the mine, shout- ing and singing merrily, to resume work for the nigh' shift." The Drummer of Airlie. The narrow escape from death of the Earl of Airlie, who was nearly run over by a train in Johannesburg only two days before he attained his majority means that the ghost of Cortachy Castle, "the drummer of the Airlies," has been robbed of a chance of giving his supernatural warning. According to the legend of Cor- tachy Castle, which is'in Forfarshire, the death of an Earl or Countess of Airlie is herald by the faint sound of drumming, sometimes : companied by soft music up and down the cor- ridors of the castle. There are many stories of the ori- gin of the Airlie ghost, but the true version, according to the family ree- ords, ig also the most gruesome. Hundrede-of years ago one of the Earls of Airlie, a man of black pas- sions, quarrelled with a friend, who, anxious for reconciliation, sent a drummer boy with a message to Cor tachy Castle. But the Earl of Airlie not only flouted his friends advances, but ordered the drummer boy to be fastened into his own drum and flung from the battlements of the castle. The drummer spent his last mo- ments in putting a comprehensive curse on thé Airlie family, and when the wicked earl was on his death-bed a few years later a faint drumming was heard round the castle. Hver since the sound of the drum has heralded the death of an Earl of Airlie. There were two well-authenticated cares of death following close on the sound of the drum during the last century; and old retainers of the family declared that they heard the drummer just before the late earl was killed in the South African war. Burman Prisons Better. The strict discipline and dietary of prison life in Burma seems to act as a pick-me-up upon those who have the, misfortune to go there. Evidence of this is to be obtained from the last report on prison administration as the death rate, whieh for years past kas been notoriously bad, showed a satisfactory improvement last year. Nevertheless the rate of 21.70 per thousand recorded in the Rangoon jail is abnormal, while the average is a8 high as 16.20. The cause of this is the drug habit, which appears to have gained a more serious hold upon Presidency eities, and strange to say there geems to be a close con- nection between the habit and the rainfall. The more rain the greater the temptation there seems to be for the average Burman to obtain for- getfulness from the use of drugs un- til the sun shines again. Seven Young Buceaneers. Seven boys from the National Nau- tical School at Portishead, Somerset, Fng., have been engaged in a re- markable exploit. The boys had been on a cruise in their training vessel Polly, and on re- turning to headquarters took French leave and rowed up the Severn sever- al miles in one of the ship's boats. Another boat set out in pursuit, and the fugitives thereupon decided to take to the land, They drove their boat on to the shore at a placed call- ed Holesmonth, and then plunged {n- to the mud, which is particularly soft.

Oct. 1--William Bardel the United States consul at Rheims. his wife, his daughter and his son are the only Americans left in the French city. They have spent most of their time during the past fortnight, in a wine cellar 100 feet underground, the opening to which is within half a block of their dwelling. Major Spencer Cosby, the military attache at Paris, has just returned from Rheims, where he went with Whit- ney Warren, of New York, to take money to the consulate. Mr. Bardel's house is inthe quar- ter of the city which has been almost destroyed by shells and fire. Oddly sn@gh while every residenge for blocks in all directions struck during the bombardment, the Bardel residence, upon which the American flag flies, has escaped be- ing hit. ¥ While Major Cosby was handing over the money to Mr. Bardel, the German fire was resumed, three shells bursting near the house. The members of the Bardel family and their visitor? went hastily to the wine cellar, where the business and the call were finished. The German lines are about two miles beyond the limits of Rheims, it is stated. Americans TO SOW BIG CROP. Much Land in West Being Prepared : For Seeding.
