others whose letters, all in little book,
Mrs. Pinkham has just published.
Write for a copy, it is free. Thus
has been established the eternal con-

your case. She asks nothing In re-

SIR RICHARD MOONS LONG LIFE.

From The London telegraph
The late Sir r. Moon was one of the yenera HE
men to whom year or two back we addressed a
series of questions TO any personal habits or
other causes that might have contributed to lon
geVlty. The late railway magnateS answers to
our queries We're curiouSly negative, and at the
same time quite as curiOuSiy suggestive of the
man of a single purpose in life. We asked twelve
questions. Sir Richard Moon answered nine of
them by simple no He had no fixed hours
for meals or recreation particular diet no per
sonal habits likely to affect health had no sort
of hobby, no form of exercise He could make
no statement as to anything that might account
Tor his attaining great age, and did not believe
that heredity had anything to do with the mat
ter. He could not say even that ne had anv reg
ular time for sleep though when it was possi-
Die ne was most regular in his time of going to
bed and getting up. But the amount of sleep he
required, he said, varied Il good deal with his
work. AS to holidays, Sir Richard Moons were
very few, he said and occasional. and what ne
did get were not free from business which prob
ably meant that when ne was not inspecting his
own railway he was picking up ideas from some
body else'S. He never smoked. and though he
was not teetOtaler his own rule of life seems
to have been moderation in all things-except in
work and devotion to the London and North
Western, and then, by all account he was uSu-
ally altogether immOderate. In short he was a
railway man totally absorbed in his work and
all his habits whether they tended to long life or
short, were subservient to his railway engage
mentS.

upon freely for officers; and it will doubt need
to see good deal of service before it will COM
pare in point of effectiveness with the battaI-
ions Of the regular army.
But when the second call was made Canada
decided to send force that from the moment
of its arrival would be available for the most
responsible services. 1t will consist of three
distinct forces-three batteries of field artillery
comprising $50 men, with eighteen of the most
modern field guns two squadrons of Mounted
Fif1es, of 800 men, and two squadrons of Rough
Rlders DIR scouting purposes, also of $50 men.
Most of the men who are going are regulars
and only picked men have been recruited from
the field batteries and the cavalry troops of the
militia.
Three years ago Canada purchased thrty-six
Vt the best Armstrong field guns, with an eff
@ective range of 5000 yards. These have been

Colonel Drury. who is the commandant of b
Battery. Each of the batteries is in charge of
trained artillery officer. Major Hudson and
Major g. II. Ogilvie, of the regular force and
Major Hurdman, of Ottawa an experienced
militia officer, will each have charge of a bat
terry, while the subordinate officers have been
picked from the regular batteries and the num-
erous field batteries. OF the men, about 100 ont
or a total of $50 have been chosen from the
militia, but they have had to pass a very exact
Ing examination. The artillery force is now all
mustered at Quebec, where it is going through

the number of cOnscripts contributed by Paris

AND CAVALRY
AND CAVALRY.

Montreal, Jan. 10-The second contingent
which is being sent by Canada to South Africa
will be a much more effective body than the
special service battalion now stationed at Bel
mont. When it first proposed to send
troops to South Africa it suggested that
the best force would be one made UP from the
regular cOrps-the batteries the infantry schools,
the dragons and the Northwest Mounted Po-
lice. But the proposition was not popular; it
was held that if Canada was to contribute her
quota she should call upon her citizen soldiery
in place of deputing the task Of representing her
to her paid troops. Accordingly the first bat
talon was made up chiefly of members of the

and B will be ordinary mounted infantry, under
the command of Lieutenant Colonel Lessard,
who is in South Africa, attached to Gen
eral Buffers personal staff, with Lieutenant
Colonel T. d. B. Evans, who has just returned
from the Klondike, where he had command of
the Canadian permanent force, second in
command Evans will take the troops out to
South Africa and there turn them over to Les
sard. Squadrons c and will be made up
tirely of mounted policemen from the regular
force, cowboys, plainsmen and Western scouts.
They will be rigged out in rough rider style,
with American saddles and brides. wide felt

Western horsemen have been drawn upon. 1t
will be commanded by Lieutenant Colonel L.

Lieutenant Colonel Steele as second in com
mand, whose fame as a rough rider and scout

Northwest rebellion in 1855 as an artillery Off
Ger, and has since run powder factory

guns made by the Colts and four Maxims and

The force will embark at Halifax within the
next ten days. The detachments from each sec
ton of the country gathering there, and as
soon as the transports are ready the troops will
be in position to go aboard.
The sending of this second contingent is a
very costly business. The first contingent rep
resented cash outlay Of about $500 900; but it
is estimated that by the time the present con-
tingent disembarks at Cape Town over 81 600
600 will have been expended. BY the regula-
tions issued by the War Office, the financial re-
spOnsibility of the colonies ends when Cape
Town is reached. The colonial troops then be

But Canada is not in the mood to accept this;
and it is certainty that at the ensuing session
of Parliament she will the burden of
maintaining her troops in the field, either di-
rectly or by a substantial grant toward the war
expenses of the Empire. This is a matter in
which Canada is not counting dollars, being
content to pour out her last coin if necessary
