Tho birthplace OF Col. D. H. McMil
Manitoba. was in the county of On
tario, near the town of Whitby, in the
Province of Ontario. The years of
his boyhood and early manhood. how
ever, were spent in tho town of Col
ingwood. He received his education
In the public schools and the collegi-
ate institute OF that town and in the
city of Toronto. His early ambitions
were largely towards military life;
and it was his cherished desire to en-
ter the British army. He took a course
of training in tho military schools of
Toronto, where he was eminently sue
cessful, obtaining first class ce,tit.
Gates in both the infantry and the cav
airy schools. He was identified with
military organizations in Ontario for
q number Of years, and served there
during the Fenian raids at Niagara in
1864, and at Port Colborne in March
and Fort Erie In June. 1856. In 1870
he was selected for tho position OF
captain In the first Red River expedi-
ton under Colonel Wellesley. The
young captain remained In Winnipeg
with the force for a year, and returned
to Ontario in the summer of 1871
Coming to Manitoba again In 1874,
Mr.. Mcmillan engaged in Winnipeg in
the milling and grain business, with
which he remained connected from
1875 until three or four years ago.
He built in 1870, the first -four mill
ever erected In the province; and, In
the following year, exported to Mime
apolis the first shipment. as q COM
mercial transaction, Of Manitoba's
wheat. He did not. meanwhile. lose
his interest in military matters. but
was ready for active service whenever
troops were required. He was major
Of tho Ninetieth Battalion until just
before the Northwest rebellion in 1885.
when he resigned, intending to give up
military affairs; but when the trouble
broke out, the old martial spirit was
revived, and he organized, along with
Col. Scott, the Ninety-fifth Battalion,
and went with that force to the North
west. He was then senior major. but
was afterwards in command OF the
battalion.-Monsreal Herald and Star

CARRIER PIGEONS.

Increasing.

Here is a new word for you. colum-
bophilism. It means raising and train
Ing messenger pigeons. Within the
last few years this industry has grown
wonderfully. The governments Of Bel
GUM, Germany, France and the United
States are training these birds to serve
as messengers from army stations.
The United States makes use OF them
more especially from ships. Nearly
every one Of our big ships carries
coop Of honiing pigeons, as they are
called, which are released as occasion
demands, and almost without excep.
ton the birds go with unerring swift
ness to their home on shore, carrying
tiny tube fastened to one leg, which
contains a message written on the
thinnest of paper. They can be de-
PENDED upon to 60 hundred miles at
a speed of fifty miles an hour when
they are three years old. Special at

FRlLLS OF FASHION,

Variations il children's gowns bios.
they are very slight, and small girls
rival their mothers in their ambition
to keep up to date.
Soft wool materials make up very
prettily in this way. In figured French
flannel the collar may be made of the
same and trimmed with rows of narrow
braid Or velvet ribbon. Skirts of the
small gowns are usually plain, but the
older girls have some sort of trimming,
either tucks, stitched bands, ruf1es or
velvet folds, stitched on.
The long-waisted mode, in which the
waist line rounds down low in front,
Is conspicuously evident among the
gowns for girls over 10 years OF age,
and the small gowns for dainty little
girls Of initiate this fashion as much
as possible by having the long waist
all around. Guimpe dresses, which
never seem to go out of style, are suit
able for all ages. from 6 to the more
mature years of middle age.
Bolero jackets are very popular in
the kingdom Of small costumes, and the
attempt to produce the effect Of stole
ends is seen In one little gown, where
narrow lace revers are carried down the
entire length of the front, as shown In
the illustration. Another pretty effect
is made by two box plaits in front, one
at either side from the yoke to the
hem, and two in the back, giving a
long effect to the waist, which is de-
fined with a narrow velvet belt ending
In small velvet rosettes at either side
Of the front on the plaits. The skirt
gathers on to the waist between the
plaits, which apparently are a contin-
uatfon of those in the waist. A sailor
collar of lace covers the shoulders in
the back and opens in front over
yoke Of tucked white silk or batiste.
Thin gowns of point d'esprit for party
wear are variously trimmed with
ruches, ruffles, lace insertion and rows
Of colored satin ribbon. A pretty feat
ure OF the small girls costume is the
coat and hat to match.-New York
