The King has had quite an alarm- ing number of narrow escapes from death; so often has he been in dire peril that one begins to believe that our illustrious Sovereign bears a charmed existence! Only one attempt of assassination has been made upon His Majesty, and that, luckily, proved unsuccess- ful. 'i'ne dastardly assassin was a youth named Sipido, whose half im-- becile mind had become inbued with the idea that he had been ordained to “set things right,” as the times were “out of joint.” The unfor- tunate young fellow had read much pernicious literature containing libels upon our Royal Family and upon the naval and military au- thorities. It was in the memorable year 1900, when England was at war \vitn the Boers. The King, who was at that time Prince of Wales and heir to the hrone, was passing through Brussels on his way to Denmark, and the fanatical Sipido contrived, through the carelessness of the station authorities, to gain access to the platform. As the Royal train began to move out from the station the young assassin leapt on to the 'footbOard and, drawing a revolver, levelled it at ._7_...-.._TAMJ_H§MM¢W&QJL~=s=Â¥>aiammmm ‘ m W‘ wuss-M W’*\*'v v m»... v" “ "’ .. . . _ . .. -.' ... .. “.1 . . .. . . . .. , .1- . u , .mzw , PfiW!’ - .

The cowardly shots were fired at so short a range that the escape of the Prince can only be regarded as miraculous. SAVED HIS LIFE BY A SECOND. , The King, while lunching aboard? . H. M. S. Sultan, was one dayI watching with much interest the: proceedings of the saailors in connec- tion with the trial of a new gun. After regarding the proceedingsl for some time the King casually stepped back a few paces. The very second that the King moved the Windlass broke away, the handle re- ~.

Sir Claude de Crespigny, who witnessed the affair, says, “Had the King not moved away a second earlier he would certainly have been ascovsav FROM TYPHOID. No man ever had a narrower escape from death by typhoid than His Majesty, in the latter part of the year 1871. For days the Prince lay unconscious, striken by the ter- rible disease, and Queen Victoria journeyed post-haste from Scotland to Sandringham to be present at what was feared would be her son’s death-bed. The most skilful doc- tors could givc no hope, and a cloud of awful uncertainty hung like a pall over the country. On the first day of December the Prince rallied, and the hope-s of the nation bright- ened, only to be dashed to the ground by the news of a serious re- lapse, on which occasion hope was finally abandoned, the whole of the Royal Family being summoned to r the bedside. To the astonishment i ‘ i. of the eminent physicians the Prince still lingered on, and ultimately to the joy of the nation, he completely ‘l I recovered. ' ESCAPE FROM AN ELEPHANT. The serious ‘illness of the King previous to his coronation will be rc- membered by all, and no one will ever forget the deep sympathy and anxiety that pervaded the whole empire. _ As is well known, King Edward is an‘ ardent sportsman.

On one occas10n the King was making his way through the could cock his rifle an elephant burst through the dense trees and charged tliunderously down upon the King. Instead of endeavoring to escape, our Sovereign coolly pointed his piece at the head of the monster and took deliberate aim. 'The shot struck the elephant, and, although it did not immediately kill ‘the animal, it caused the great crea- i ture to swerve aside within a few 7 ‘ ‘1 feet of His Majesty.

Growing boys as well as girls need such a tonic as Dr. Williams’ _- the head of the Prince of Wales, Pink Pills to keep the blood rich, red and pure and give them health Mrs. Edward Koch, postmistress at Prince’s Lodge, N. S., tells the great benefit her little son has derived from the use of this world famous medicine. Mrs. Koch says :â€"“My little son, Regin- ald, had been troubled with anaeâ€" mia almost since birth. He was alâ€" ways a sickly looking child, with no energy and little or no appetite. His veins showed very plainly through his skin and he had sev- eral serious attacks of stomach and bowel trouble, and on one occasion his life was dispaired of by two doctors who were attending him. His little body was slowly wasting away until he was nothing more than a skeleton. He was peevish and fretful and a misery to himself. Having read and heard so much of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills I deter- mined to try them in his case, and after giving them to him for a cou- ple of months they certainly work- ed wonders with him. T-day he is fat and healthy looking; he has a struck and l hearty appetite, is able to play like killed by that murderous handle!” Other children, and is bright and energetic, instead of dull and list- less as he used to be. Dr. Willi- ams’ Pink Pills have changed my puny, sickly child, into a rugged, hearty boy.” Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills cured this sickly boy because they went down to the root of the trouble in his blood. That is why they never fail. Bad blood is the cause of all common diseases like anaemia, (bloodlessncss) eczema, paleness, headaches, indigestion, kidney trouble, neuralgia, rheumatism and the special ailments that only grow- ing girls and womcnfolk know. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills don't bother with mere symptoms, they cure dis- eases through the blood. They don’t cure for a day-â€"they cure to stay cured. Do not take any pills without the full name, “Dr. Wil- liams’ Pink Pills for Pale People,” on the wrapper around each box.

For the Busy Woman.â€"-A bottle of. alcohol on the dresser is a great saver of times as the spot on skirt or shirt waist that mars an otherwise neat appearance can be quickly removed by the use of alcohol without leaving a ring or a disagreeable odor. In the library it will remove spots from books and not harm the most delicate bindiing. Care of Furs.~â€"Before putting furs away for the summer sun and comb them at least twice, then go over them three times With a stiff, thick brush, parting the hair at all creases or folds and brushing the pelt underneath. Wrap in clean newspaper~the ink is a moth pre- ventive. then put them inside a large paper bag, paste up the open- > ing, and lay in a box or trunk. To Scrub a Carpet-Shave and dissolve one bar of soap in a gal- lon of water. . essary, one about as soft as an ordinary clothes brush and the other quite stil‘. \Vhen ready to scrub, dip soft brush in hot soapy solu- tion and shake out all the liquid possible and scrub the spot briskly, after which take dry stiff brush and go over the spot to dry it. Do not take a larger spot or space than for scrubbing the floor. This amount will clean about eighty-eight yards of carpet and must be used as hot as possible. As soon as it cools and jellies it must be heated. Carpet must not be made wet. An Easy Way to Wash Blankets-- Select a sunny day and only wash one pair a day. Cut one pound or nearly abar of good laundry soap in small pieces and boil in two quarts of water until dissolved; add one-half pound of powdered born-x. Fill a tub half full of water the same temperature as the outside air. Press blankets in the water and avoid rubbing. Soak two hours; rinse well in several waters until the water looks clear, then without wringing hang on the line. Do not stretch, but hang evenly, and although dripping wet will dry in three or four hours. Use station- ery wash tubs or bath tub, it will save lifting them out when the water is changed. Blankets washed in this way-will be as soft and clean as when new. STRAWBERRY DAINTIES. Strawberry Omelet-Four or five eggs, white and yolks beaten separately.
