Malta aud Gibraltar.

Before the British garrison at Malta
was re-enforced it consisted Of seven bat
teries of artillery, numbering l,022 of all
ranks; two companies of engineers, com
prsing 1913 men; five battalieps of in
fantry, $40 in all; the Royal Malta
Fencible artillery, 81 men, and detach-
ments of the army hospital corps and
army service corps, making grand total
of 5,09S men. As the two battalions
which have gone out within fortnight
are each 902 strong, the effective strength
of the garrison will be raised to 5000
men. The garrison OF Gibraltar is to he
REINFORCED by the second battalion, eighth
foot, and the first battalion, nineteenth
foot, each corps having 902 men of all
the ranks. This will raise the number
of troops at that post to about 500
men. comprising seven batteries of artil-
lery, four companies of engineers and
seven battalions Of infantry, with strong
detschments from the army service corps
and army hospital corps. Although the
British government has now in the
Mediterranean stronger force than has
occupied the pbst for many years, the
detachments which have been sent out
are from infantry regiments, and the
force of engineers has not been increased.
The London Echo lays stress upon the
fact that il the government intended to
occupy Gallipoli it would have sent ont
strong force OF engineers.

Year. and years ago, before this coast was

and dress goods which the olive complex

Boston Yankees who took their pay in

of their speculation. The mania for
dress has never abated, and TO day the

ID. Francisco Moreno, in company with
| three sailors, succeeded in ascending to the
source of the Santa Cruz river, in southern
| Patagonia. The river was found to issue
from a fine lake thirty miles long and ten
miles broad, IN latitude fifty degrees fourteen
| minutes twenty-five seconds and seventy-one
| degrees fifiy-nine minutes west longitude.
Moreno was the first explorer to sail along
| this lake. The voyage up the river occu>
J pied thirty days, owing to the rapidity of
the current, lie succeeded in making nu-
merous sketches OF the lakes in the vicinity,
and procured an extensive geological col.
lection of the region.
At conservative demonstration at
Hatfield, Lord Salisbury, in speech, made
the following reference TO the governments
foreign policy: ave earnestly deprecated
this war; we are allies and friends of both
contending parties; we desire our neutrality
not only to be neutrality OF act, but OF
speech; but ! will ask you to believe that
while we are thoroughly convinced that the
patriotism of Englishmen, If we need to ap-
peal to it, is equal TO any emergency and
will shrink before no sacrifice which the in
terests or honor of the country may demand,
we feel, in all intensity, that horror of crimes
and calamities of war which this country has
always been honorably distinguished for en-.
tertaining let us earnestly hope the two
collects, being, as we sincerely believe, in no
way divergent, that we shall be able to con.
duet this country through all difficulties
without trenching, in the iaintest degree, on
| its interests or honor and without losing, for
single moment, the priceless blessings of
peace" Lord Landon also spoke. He said
| he trusted that "when the moment of settle.
ment comes we shall bear in mind that it ID
to the interest of England that every coun
Try in the world should be prosperous, and

humliated, we should try to prevent the
| humiliation, whether assailant or assailed.
| | hope that we shall avoid the fault which
in my opinion, has been the great fault OF
European powers in the past: OF interfering
in behalf only Of corehgionists, instead Of
asking the Turk to secure n good govern
ment to all the people of his vast empire

ALoyer of Little Children.

The London correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial gives an inter
esting account of noble woman's work
among the poor of the English metrop-
oils. She has chosen special field tor
her labor, directed in her choice by a
mothers grief aud guided by motherly
sympathy. Some years ago the Countess
Ebersburg-the lady in question-lost
her two children, and her morbid grief
manifested itself in longing to study
the statistics of infant mortality through
out the kingdom. She found that 200,-
900 children under five years of age die
annually in Eugland.and that three per-
cent. of the victims might be saved with
ordinary care. As her own home was
desolate she determined to do something
TO save other homes threatened by ig-
norance and poverty. She established
meetings at which mothers OF the poorer
classes might assemble and he taught
how to preserve their own health and
that of their infants, and she issued
sanitary tracts giving directions in re-
gard TO household management. This
machinery for disseminating good ad-
vice was supplemented by a plan for
distributing material aid; and the
Countess, partly out of her own means
and partly through contributions from
her friends, procured and give away
prepared food lor ailing children, finally
arranging the poorest parts of London into
districts and distributing 5000 pounds
of baby food annually, In due time, too
she secured sanitarium in the country
where those to whom pure air offered tht
for lite might find temporary home
and day nursery, where mothers whc
had to work for tber living might leave
their babies when going out in the NOR
pipy
