The Fountsin Of Vitality.

The source of physical energy and mental activ-
fly, is the blood. Let this become vitiated with
bile, or thin and watery in consequence of in
digestion and non-assimiation Of the food, and
ell interruption OF the functions of the body,
and q loss Of stamina, flesh and appetite ensues.
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is tonic specially
adapted to restore all three, because it assists
digestion and assimilation, and removes bile
and other impurities from differentiation. Pro-
tected and strengthened with this admirable de-
fensive invigorant, the system defies influences
inimical to health. to which, if unregulated and

Bravery in Ocean Peril.

We are not without abundant and
well-auChenticated stories OF remark
able bravery in ocean perils. Mr.. w.
Clark Russell, in his late book, cites
several which may serve as examples
of a virtue which the world never fails
to praise and honor. In the narra-
tive of the loss of the Kent in 1926,
it was related that when it was seen
that the fire was gaining fast, and
while several hundreds OF people were
rushing wildly about in search of hus-
bands, children or parents, several old
soldiers and sailors, giving up all hope,
but without making any fuss, went
and sullenly seated themselves direct.
~ over the magazine, and there wait
ed with folded arms and set faces for
the powder to catch, so that there
might be an end at once to their SUI
ferings. In the case of the loss of one
of the East India Company's ships,
all the boats but one were lost, and
into that eight of the crew jumped and
rowed away, leaving the rest on the
sinking vessel. Those who were left
shouted to the others to return-not,
they said, to carry any OF them of,
but simply to rescue two little chill
dren, who could add no weight to the
boat; and the seamen returned, took
the infants and rowed away again.
Ten minutes later the ship went down,
and all on board persisted. When the
Montreal burned off Quebec, a mother
was thrown into the water with her
children. With one hand she chung to
a rope, with the other she kept the
head OF child above water, and with
her teeth fastened to it's dress she sus-
tanned second child. She could not
scream, and she would have been

not her situation been noticed. In

the child on his shoulder. But the

ately snatched the child back, and
the two were drowned, while the SOL

COlOrs Discarded in the British
Army.

Perhaps may as we'll state here a
fact, which think is not generally
known outside OF military circles. On
our landing in Egypt for the Soudan
expedition all colors ofregiments were
left on board the fleet, SO that British
soldiers, for the first time IN history
went into action unaccompanied by
"Old Glory" whose silken folds had
been wont for cent uries to flap among
the bayonets and sabers OF its defend
ers-in some cases jaunty and gay in
the bravery of new material and bull:
lion-wrought device, in Others simply
Grim, war-battered old emblem, but
in either case dear as LIES pulse to
each and every one in the regiment to
which each color respectively belonged.
1t may be recollected that at the bat
tie OF Maiwand, in Afghanistan, in
which q certain infantry regiment was
ambushed, but could have escaped
were it not that the enemy devoted all
his energies to the capture of tho
colors, the men stood by them in de.
Tense. and so were completely annihi-
lated-wiped off the army list, as it
were. OF course, the celors were lost.
This decided the War Office, and the
order was issued that henceforth
British soldiers must fight without
colors.
1t is, perhaps, not generally known
that in the British service the colors
1.-TWO to each regiment) were always
carried by commissioned officers
generally the juniors as to service.
These colors were escorted by a color
guard consisting of the first of color
sergeants OF each company, who were
also the pay sergeants. Now, in &C.
ton, in case the cOlOr-bearers were
shot down, there was always great
emulation on the part ofother officers
to seize and bear them aloft, thus Of
fering themselves as needless targets
for enterprising sharpshooters. This
sort Of thing might be repeated till
all the officers were placed hors
du combat, when of course, the real
backbone of the regiment tine non
commissioned staff would be expect
ed to take command; but if the color
bearers were swept off it would be
quite likely that the color-guard
shared their fate, when the regiment
would quickely become like ship
without either a rudder or q pilot.
Reasoning thus the magnates OF the
War Office decided that the carrying
of colors entailed needless mortality
among the most efficient members of q
regiment, therefore the practice must
cease, rs the army could fight we'll
enough without them. The strangest

their superiors. Pardon the disgres1
sion, but I think it was necessary.

Corn BREAD FOR VIGoR.-Corn bread is
the pioneer bread of the country. The
fathers of the younger generation were, in
many cases, raised on corn bread and pork
meat. Even after years of prosperity
brought more delicate food for their wives
and children, they clung, in a measure, to
that which had been their strength and
sustenance in their earlier days. There are
great many people who like to have the
old-fashioned corn bread and some fried salt
pork for their breakfast, and there are few
perhaps who will read this who know how
good it tastes, and who through this remind
