A Young Soldier rcrishes OF Thirst After "A

That part OF the san ly AMI sultry
Sahara near Biskra has been the sccno
Of n tragedy which was caused by the
want of water. Some days ago young
soldier. named Frossard, was sent from
a Typographical station in Algeria to
Biskra for victuals. lie was accom-
panied by n mounted Spahi and had
two mules Hy strange inadvcrtenco
the little caravan ran short OF water
after it had been out in the desert a
short time. Frossard accordingly d.
rected the Spahi TO leave him his horse
and TO tako the mules with him to
the nearest oasis for supply of
tho necessary fluid. Tho Spahi jour
neyed through tho scorching sands
for day and night before he came TO
tho Oasis OF Gartha. hut when return

There small expedition was ftted
out 10y the local sheik, and after long
search the dead bodyof the young soldier
was found half devoured by hyenas
aud jackals. Tho carcass Of the Spahfs
horse was also discovered not far away.
1t appears that tho soliler had killed
the horse with his sword and then drank
its blood lie had likewise cut out the
animals lungs and put them aside, but
before he could use ihem as food he was

BE ABOVE SUSPICION.

Z 1t is gratifying feeling among
many that their lives are above suspi-
cion. Yet how many good people on
account OF eircumstantial surround
ings have had the finger OF unjust sus-
picion directed towards them. Car
buncIes, unyielding sores pimples on
the face, rough skin having an erupt-
i've appearance, etc, are in tie eyes of
so many regarded suspiciousiy as in
dicating the presence of some contal :
ious blood disease, and pointed ques-
tions that are productive of consider
able annoyance. These skin blem-
ishes and eruptive tendencies Of
course find their origin in the blood,
but not necessarily the result of con-
tagion. The blood may have become
impure on account of colds and ex-
posure, improper food, weak digestion,
urinary disorders, etc. However, it is
we'll to remove the unnatural u condi-
ton of the blood and the flesh by a
prompt use of DIR. John Bulls Sal
saparilla. 1t regulates affairs inter
nally and externally, beautiies the
skin and restores i'm paired organic
functions to their normal strength and

THE BRITISH EMPIRE.
1t Contains an Area Exceeding Eleve
Millions OF square Miles.

1t Contains an Area Exceeding Eleven
Millions OF Square Miles.
! Up to few weeks ago the British
empire comprised an area OF a little
more than 5000, 900 square miles, or a
small faction in excess of the
dimensions OF the domain over which
IS extended the sway OF the Gar. To-
day British territory reaches an area
exceeding II, 600 900 square miles. The
treaty with Germany, by which tho
British sphere OF influence" extends
from the eastern coast of Africa at
Zanzibar as far back as the great lakes
and from the first degree OF south lati-
tude to the southern boundary of Egypt,
exclusive of the Congo Free State and
the region over which Italy presumos
to exercise sort OF protectorate, adds
about 2,000,00 square miles to the
domain OF the Queen Of England and
Empress of India, and puts that poten.
tate well in advance OF Alexander III.
in the game of territorial acquisition.
1t is only when comparison is made
with some of the great States of Europe
and OF the Western Hemisphere that the
enormous dimensions OF the British
empire can be appreciated. The cx-
tent OF European Russia is slightly in
excess Of 1000, 900 square miles, that OF
Brazil is about 5000. 600. while the
United States. including Alaska, is
about 1000, 00o square miles. China is
still larger that any OF the nations last
mentioned, having an area exceeding
that OF the United States by nearly
800, 900 square miles. But the British
empire, within its new and enlarged
boundaries, is three times as capacious
as tho United States. O1L of that
domain could be carved a territory
rs large as this country, Brazil and
China combined leaving enough
over to make up two or three
little states like Franco. Germany or
Austria. The empire Of course is not
as homogeneous as any of tho nations
mentioned, and the ties which binl its
widcly-separate branches together arc
far loosor and more shadowy than those
which hold the vast possessions OF
Russia In allegiance TO the Muscovite.
Yet the domain over which Victoria
rules in theory ut least is vastly
broader than that over which Alexan-
der exercises supremacy, and is more
widely extended and diversified than
the world OF civilized, semi-civilized
and harbarious states which in the
days OF julius and Augustus acknowl-
edged allegiance to Rorle.-St Louis
