liant that it compelled Queen Victoria to
resort to a sunshade for protection greet
ed her Majestys return to Windsor this
morning, when she inspected three de-

Guards and the Second Life Guards had
journeyed up from London, joining the
First Life Guards Amid scenes of great
enthusiasm the troops formed in two
lines, unmounted, in khaki uniform. An
immense crowd of people witnessed the
assembly. Brigadier General Trotter, the
district commander with his full staff,
conducted the inspection After the march
past the officers were ordered to the front

to the royal carriage.

voice plainly audible to the officers, the
Queen made a speech. She said:
I've called you here to-day, my SOL
diers who are always near me, to say
farewell before you cross the seas to
distant part of my empire to assist your
comrades who are fighting so bravely for
your sovereign and country. 1 know you
will always do your duty as heretofore,
and / pray God to bless you and give you
a safe return.
After the speech he Majesty beckoned
to Colonel Need, and when he advanced
the Queen shook hands heartily with him.
The colonel assured her Majesty that she
could depend on the Guards to uphold the
honor of the Queen and the country. Col
onel Need then led three cheers for the
Queen, and 800 helmets were raised high
on the points of swords and carbines. The
cheers were repeated again and again.

Queen" her Majesty driving off amid the
cheers of the spectators and the troops
present.
The Government has chartered the
steamers Victorian and Maplemore for
use as troopships.
The First Infantry battalions under or
ders for South Africa left England to-day
and the last of the Hussars also sailed,

ALIWAL NORTH DESERTED
AND DEFENSELESS

CAPE TOWN, Nov. Tt is reported
that a Boer force from Smithfield has
crossed the frontier at Bethulie. 1t is
estimated to be 1000 strong, with field
guns. The latest advices are that the
Beers had not entered Aliwal North yes
terday, but that the Besstekral force of
Beers was momentarily expected. 1t is
said the Beers have already captured
some police and others on the outskirts
of the place and that Aliwal North is de-
serted and defenseless.
The railroad has been cut at Vryburg
two stations south of Aliwal North.
Another Boer force is reported to have
marched past Burghersdorp toward
Queenstown.
The Transvaal contingent, which was
expected to joint the Free Staters be-
tween Springfontein and Bethulie, is re-
ported to be delayed by want of horses

is admitted that no general has been ex-
onerated in history merely because he al
lowed his actions to be hampered by
civil government to which he was not di-
rectly responsible. Naturally there is
great division of opinion on these points.
1t is learned that one of the remarkable
innovations in warfare will shortly be
tested In South Africa Lieutenant
Foulks, q young officer of the Royal En-
gineers, sailed for Cape Town October IL
to put photographs to uses hitherto con-
sidered impracticable, which, if success
full, will revolutionize the methods of mil
itary reconnaissance. Briefly summed up,
Foulks proposition is to indicate the ex-
act position and formation Of the Beers
by means of telephoto pictures. He takes
out an equipment of his own invention
and is attached to General Buffers staff.

Threatened paralysis snot thing to
be very greatly afraid Of Paralysis gen.
orally does not threaten, but makes its
appearance without threatening and
without warning. Paralysis is not
hereditary, but there may be hered-
itary tendency to certain forms Of paral-
ysis. The only way to cure a tendency
to disease is to build up and fortify the
general health in every way possible
1t is not best to live in constant fear of
a paralytic stroke or something of that
sort, as this will be a very efficient
means of bringing to pass the very thing
apprehended. Numb sensations, tingling
sensations, ETC., are seldom precursors
of paralysis, although often thought to
be such. They are usually the result

4 TO CURE WRINKLES.
How to Remove the Marks Of Age and
Care From the Countenance.

Care From the Countenance.
Wrinkles are creases in the skin, the
result of loss of natural elasticity Of
the skin and of the habitual re; yntion
of the part in q particular attitude, says
The Voice. Wrinkles are to the physi-
clan valuable means of diagnosis. For
example, wrinkles across the center of
the body in front indicate habitual
stopped position in sitting. Two or
three very deep wrinkles are not infre-
quently found. Such wrinkles as these,
however, are seldom the source of solic-
itude ON the part of the patient.
The wrinkles that the physician is
usually called upon to cure are those OF
the face. These wrinkles also are indie
Rtive of habitual attitudes and the
face being the organ of expression the
facial attitude or expression applies to
a corresponding attitude of mind. For
example, one class of wrinkles indicates
habitual mental attitude of worry,
another habitual expression Of scorn,
another amiability, another hate, etc.
From this it appears that wrinkles, at
least wrinkles Of the face land in fact
the same is true of all wsinkles), are
more than skin deep and involve not
only the body, but the character.
The cure of wrinkles, then, is mat
ter which first Of all concerns the char.
acter. The 'habitual attitude Of mind,
which has left its mark upon the skin
in the shape Of wrinkles, must be
changed. 1t must be replaced by a
mental attitude of marked character.
For example, in the case of face
marred by wrinkles produced by a
scowling expression the skin must be
smoothed out by the cultivation of an
opposite state of mind, by which means
the muscles Of expression will be made
to pull the skin into such shape that
the undesirable character marks will
disappear. In short, unpleasant wrin-
kles must be got rid of by the cultivation
of wrinkles Of an opposite character.
Much can be done by the aid of mas.
sage to restore the flexibility of the skin
and to stretch and draw the facial GOV.
ering into more desirable form.
