the procession passes, and in conclu- sion the detail salutes the Reyes as the porter cries, God preserve the king Every three months the reigning king or queen sends the password of the Tower to. the com stable, signed and sealed, and the Mayor of London is the only other outside person supposed to know it. This custom is a relic of the time when the Tower was primarily fortress.
 Like the Rastile, London Tower has been stormed. Desperate efforts have been made to steal the royal relics kept there, which include the ancient 'anoiting spoon and Queen Elizabeths salt cellar One famous effort. in which a Col Blood, dis guised as a clergyman, nearly made away with the bejewolled crown, is thought by some to have been in- spired by Charles II because he need- ed the money the rare gems would bring.
 ''One of the less well known, but most spectacular incidents, was tho escape of two priests by ruse that would have done credit to Monte Cristo. One of them, having been strung up by the hands for days, and then put in a rack while his wrists still were swollen, without making him betray his faith. wrote in orange juice to friends outside, for light rope with a weight at one end. He also asked that a boat be brought to the river below Cradle Tower on a certain night. On that night he made his way to his fellow prisoners room. The two flung the weighted end of the rope to their friends in the boat, pulled up heavier rope, climbed from the steep walls to the boat safely, and made their escape.

 Relief Of France
MRS. JARVIS GRATEFUL
Work Has Been Carried On For Year and n Half-Usual Services in Churches Tomorrow-Other News Items From the Threc Districts.

The Food for France Land," has finished it's work for the military hos uitas of France It has been soliciting small sums monthly in the past year and a half to furnish delicacies such as sugar, cereals, jellie, etc. The amount the French government gave to the ill and wounded in the hospi- ~tals was far too small to allow for any extras, and after the a1fnistice this fund was used to give food to the des- titute women and children of France.
 The solicitors have worked long and well, collecting such small sums as individuals pledged themselves to give and it has been with a willing heart both from the giver and the . ones who did the collecting every month for year and a half. The so- licitors are Mrs. A. A. North, Mrs. Chas. F. Lewis, Miss Marjorie Moore, Mrs. G. A. Pickett, MrS Jerry Cash rlan, Miss Hollester, Mrs Morris Woodruff, Mrs. Jarvis. They have col lected $I004 during this time which includes the sales and donations at two state fairs. Mrs. Jarvis as dep- nty for Berlin, wishes to thank all those who have aided in this work so willingly. Miss Carter Spencer, depu- ty for America and Mrs. Thos. B. Chapman, deputy for Connecticut, have expressed deepest appreciation of Berlin's work. Again the little town has gone lover the top"

;ervice With all the enthusiasm of his
nature. Although he was then sixty
six years old, he offered to go to the
fIont with the MncG.ll University base
hospital as supernumerary colonel
and an assistant to the physician in
charge of the hospital.
DR. Osler had been an alumnus OF
MacGill and was a member of its fac
ulty before going to Baltimore, and
his pride in his oil college and in the
Canadian soldiers led to his offer to
go to the front even in a subordinate
capacity. Instead, he was made b
colonel in the British Army and was
kept busy organizing hospitals and
working in them from the beginning
until the end Of the war. In this work
Lady Osler proved a wonderful as.
sistant to her husband.
Born in Canada.
DR.. Osler was born at Bond Head
Canada. July IL, 1s4s. He lived TWEEN
ty-one years of his life in the United
States and had resided in England
since 1905, where he was distinguished
as physiologist, patnolosisc and
physician, and where his medical
writings are regarded as authorita-
tive. Long before making his home
in England he was classed as a great
physician, and his lectures and es-
says were highly praised for their
fine diction and clarity. as well as the
knowledge they impaired.
DR.. Osler was educated at Trinity
College, Toronto. going from there to
McGill College, Montreal. where he
/, studied medicine. receiving his de-
gree in 1872. He continued his studies
at London, Berlin and Vienna In
1874 he was elacted to tho cbotr ~
Institutes of Medicine at McGill Col
lege. and in the following year was
appointed pathologist at the Montreal
General Hospital and elected a fel
low of the Royal College of Physi-
clans in Lopdon. In 1884 he wa5
chosen for the chair of Clinical Medi
cine Of the University Of Pennsylva-
MIA.
Gladstonian Lecturer.
In 1885 DR.. Osler was appointed
Gladstonian lecturer in the Royal
College of Physicians and Surgeons
of London. In 1883 he was made pro
fessor of the principles and practice
of medicine at Johns Hopkins, Balti-
more.
1t is,a curious fact that what has
been attributed as DR.. Osler's pet
Idea on the length of a mans useful
ness has not worked out in his own
family. His father lived ninety years.
and his mother died at the age of l0l
years in full possession Of her mental
faculties.
In 1911 DR.. Osler was created a
haronet by King George ". Since
then he contributed much to medical
literature and delivered many i'm
portant lectures. In 1892 he married
Grace Revere, Of Boston.
