~ STORY OF GREAT CAMPO " Tm T00K SIX MONTHS TO CAP- TURE PARIS, The Battle of er Proyed the Most Disastrous for ~ . the French. When the Prussians under Kaiser Wilhelm I., with Count Bismarck and Gen. Von Moltke, started the movement against Paris forty-four years ago, the German troops met fierce resistance. It took the Gei- mans six months to capture the French capital. 7 The first-order to mobilize the Prussian army was given by Kaiser Wilhelm I., July 15th, 1870. France declared war four days later. Three armies were put in the field by the Prussians. The first was under Gen. Von Steinmetz near Trever, the second under Prince Frederick Charles in the Reinish Palatinate, and the third under Crown Prince of Prussia on the frontier of Baden. Fifteen days after the mobilization order had been given, Prussia had 620,000 men under arms. On Belgian Frontier. A line 100 miles long from Mount- medy on the Belgian frontier to Bel- fort, at the junction of the Swiss]: and German borders, was covered by an. army of 350,000 men under Napoleon IlI. The French army was divided into eight army corps with Marshal MacMahon command- er-in-chief, near Strassburg. .-Em- peror } Napoleon left Paris July: 28 to take command at Metz, and Aug. 2 Kaiser Wilhelm with -Count Bis- marck and Count Von Moltke took me "hag with headquarters | at Suarbrucken" was attacked and captured Aug. 2 by Froussard. France was invaded by the German crown prince Aug. 4. He engaged the French under Douey at Weis- senburg and drove them back after a terriffic five-hour fight, in which the losses were heavy on both sides. Again two days later the crown prince engaged the French. This time he met MacMahon's men at Zabern, and forced them to retreat in disorder. Steinmetz, in the meantime, routed Frossard's corp3 at Spichern, driving the French back to Metz and Forbach. Alsace Abandoned. Following these disastrous de- feats the eight French corps were ponsg idate 1 into two armies, one ander Dazaine at Metz and the other under MacMahon at Chalons. It was shortly thereafter that the Northern part of Alsace was abandoned, while the French re- treated along the Moselle. On Aug. 8 the crown prince left Worth to push on through the passes of Vosages to Nancy. He en- tered the city Aug. 16. In the meantime Steinmetz was the most active man in the German army. He took Forbach Aug. 7, St. Alvord Aug. 9, and on the 14th was near Metz. In the battle of Colombey- Noully, Gen. Von Moltke prevent- ed the junction of the two retreat- ing French armies. Bent on the capture of Metz, Prince Frederick Charles took part of his army via Saarbrucken and part through Saargemund, and Aug. 16 drove Bazaine back on Cre- lorrw. He was defeated on the 18th and cornered in the fortifications at Metz. Surrendered at Sedan. On Aug. 19 the Prussians formed a fourth army to move rapidly through the plains of Champegne to Paris. The crown prince of Saxony was placed in charge of this fourth command. One hundred and Summer Days Call for a dainty, wholesome food -- such as Post with cream.

"One of the bravest acts-I wit- nessed during the whole war,"' said an officer in the. Amierican Civil War, "was'that of a young soldier, who was probably not over sixteen. We had.thought of him as only a boy, although he went with the regiment On all of its marches, and lived with itegn all its encamp- ments. : "One day there was a fierce eén- gagement: In the midst of it a bullet struck this boy in the breast, and he fell. Our colonel ordered his men to dismount, and as he himself sprang from his horse, the boy called. out. in'a weak vais, 'T will hold your horse, colonel ! "Stopping in the midst of the storm of bullets to gaze in pity on the white, boyish face, the colonel said, 'But you can't do that, lad-- you are dying.' ""*T know I am, colonel,' " the gal- lant boy replied. 'But I can hold the reins when I am dead.' "The colonel placed the bridle in the trembling hands and went for- ward. When the fight was over, he hurried back, and found the boy lying dead, the bridle reins _ still wrapped tightly round his limp right hand." ee KEEP CHILDREN WELL DURING HOT WEATHER Every mother knows how fatal the hot summer months 'are to sma children. Cholera infantum, diar- rhoea, dysentry and stomach trou- bles are rife at this time, and often a precious little life is lost after only a few hours' illness. The mo- ther who keeps Baby's Own Tablets in the house feels safe. The occa- sional use of the Tablets prevent stomach and bowel troubles, or if the trouble comes suddenly--as it generally does--the Tablets will bring baby safely through.

An Instance of the Superstition of the Native Indian. Many people, unless actually fa- miliar with the ways and customs of the native of India, have little idea as to how superstitious many of these people are, especially with re- gard to their. "caste" system. Not very long ago, a_ ccolie, whilst passing through the jungle, was suddenly attacked and most se- verely mauled by a bear. His com- rades, however, although they knew that a few miles distant there {was a well-equipped hospital, con- 'veyed him to a village close by, j where he was kept without medical jassistance of any kind and in a | blazing hot sun for three days. | When eventually brought into hospital the man's plight may be , better imagined than described. |The surgeon and his assistants | managed to keep him alive, but his 'face is so disfigured that he is known in the districtas the '"'reache wallah" (bear man). The most extraordinary thing about this case_is that the unfor- tunate person was, during the time he lay in hospital, considered by the fraternity to be unclean, with the result that his own wife was, through attending to his require- ments, thrown out of "caste Shook His Head. A certain rich man did not . ap- prove of foreign missions. One Sun- day at church, when the collection was being | taken up, the collector d the ire and held out the collection bag.

' Horace Brand, first Lord Farqu- har, is not merely one of the luck- iest of mortals in point of 'worldly prosperity ; he is even luckier in the possession of one of those sunny natures to whom life seems "one long sweet song." At three score years and ten Lord Farquhar still delights in "tripping the light fan- tastic an accomplishment for which -he was always famons. He started life with a good name and a fine constitution, but little else The possibility of his ever being doubly a baronet, and a member Lord Farquhar. rs I was ras thin and delicate.| © tired; of the House of Lords, could not have been within the scope of his wildest dreams. There wasn't money enough in the family to send him to Oxfor or Cambridge, so they put him into Forbes, Forbes and Co.'s where the "Chief" smiled kindly upon the young clerk, and saw that he '"'rose." Sir Charles Forbes, the head of the firm, was the baronet of Newe, and so the Farquhars had in him a good friend. For many rears Horace Farquhar remained 'Gn the City!' Eventually he got into touch with Scott's Bank, and having ultimately achieved the headship of Forbes's, he migrated to Scotts, and became burra-sahib there, Lord Farquhar is almost the 'last of the particular friends of King Edward who figures prominently in the present reign.

But "Horace" (as Lord Farquhar is known to our royalties) is still one of the great British social entities. And 'his re- markable success in an unexpected role is not a little due to his wife, who has also achieved a "rise ir the world" as romantic as her hus- band's. Lady Farquhar comes of one of the oldest families in the un- titled aristocracy of England. How many centuries the Packes have z | figured in Northamptonshire, we could not precisely say, but they boast many Norman strains. But sixty years ago, when Lady Far- quhar was a girl, the Packes were not over prosperous. Lady Far- quhar's father, Colonel Packe, had ven stalwart sons and four daugh- ters, who all attained maturity, and required some "keeping." --EEE-- TURKOS OF FRANCE. Fighters Descend From Algerians. The French Turkos, now fighting in upper Alsace, are native Alger- ian tréops, with a record for dash and courage that dates back to the Crimea. They are an offshoot from the famous Zouave corps organized in Zn by France eighty-five years Famous 1 are four sagt of Tur- kos, and every man of native Algerian. Three 'of regiments are stationed in Algeria, but the*fourth, known as the Turco Zouaves of the Imperial Guard, al- ways have been kept in France. It doubtless is the Turco Imper- ial Guard that is now facing the soldiers of the Kaiser in Aisace. the Crimea, the Turco regiments distinguished themselves 'by their fearlessness, perfect discipline and marvellous endurance. They add ed greatly to their fame in the Franco-Prussian War, especially at the battle of Fraschwiller, in a charge of conspicuous gallantry against the Germans. In the great review of the French army on the Longchamps _race- course last' summer the Turco regi- ment was accorded an enthusiastic demonstration by the vast crowd that numbered half a million per- sons, -- a Guilty of Assassination A man, razor in hand, was caught by} his wife assassinating mot an enemy, but! a corn--what he needed was Putnam's; Corn Extractor; it's safe, painless and sure.

The development of iron, coal and zinc industries has made: Belgium one of the great manufacturing cen- tres of the world and vastly in- creased her population. She is the only country in Europe that is in- creasing by immigration. In. 1840 the population was only 4,337,000 and is now 7,000,000. Belgium is the most densely populated country in Europe, averaging 600 people to the mile. Her area is 11,373 square miles. The Bélgian army has a peace strength of 42,800, and a war strength of 180,000. The army is well drilled and well-armed. Belgium has been the battle- ground of Europe since the begin- ning of history. Caesar opened the game 58 years before Christ by fighting the Belgian Gauls. Nearly every generation since then ha seen French, German, Spaniards, Austrians or English pull off some great battle or battles in Flanders, which is one of the older names of the country.
