WAR ITEMS.

We are sending 200,000 troops to the Transvaal. To the Peninsular war we sent 30,000; Egyptian campaign, 30,000; Crimea, 26,000; Waterloo, 24,000 ; Blenheim, 16,000 ; and Afghanistan, 13,000.

A private in the 2nd Royal Fusiliers de~ scribing the battle of Colehso, says : " The Boers' loss must have been terrible because they flaw the white flag twenry.four hours to bury the dead, and threatened to crucify ' the men with straw hats on,' meaning our navals."

••I was out the other day (says a member of the South African Light Horse, writing from Ohieveley), and I couldn't get a drink for twelve hours. In the end, and for a shilling, I got a nigger to give me a cup of the dirtiest water that a duck ever waddled in, and it went down like nectar."

" What is to be the end of it all ?" asked one of the pessimists, lugubriously, of the moab distinguished soldier of the Queen. " Ead ?" cried Lord Wolaely. " There caD be only one end—a triumphant entry into Pretoria, with colours flying and the band playing God S*ve the Q, men " With reference to let era ko;n the front, it may not be generally known !h;t iv para graph 423, Qnea's Regulations. 1899, occurs the passage: "They (officers antl soldiers) will be held responsible for all statements contained in c-imaiunio viiom to their* friends, which may subsequently b? pub lished in the'prasß'" This h*a haen poiaied out by a writer in '!he*ffmd?»i Times

It fitted beautifully, and has given the greatest satisfaction. If >'ju have time to make one for my son at Geraldine, I will get him to ride up on Satur day to be fitted. If there is not time to send patterns, I will trust you to choose for me, something like the'hat.—Yours truly,

Pain Balm also cures rheu matism, cutß, bruises, and burns. For sale byAiHBTRTON Drug Company



Boils. Pimples. Sure Signs of Impure Blood. Do not think that washes and oint ments can cure eruptions of the skin. They cannot. The cause is deeper, even down in the very blood itself. Purify your blood, and your skin will be smooth and clear. Mr. James Johnson, of South Forbes, New South Wales, sends us his photo graph, and says: «' My whole body was almost covered witfl boils. Reading about — AVER'S SarsaparM I thought I would try it. I took one bottle, and was entirely free from any eruption what ever. My eyesight was greatly strengthened also." Mr. Johnson's eyesight was strength ened because the Sarsaparilla is such a wonderful nerve tonic. For impure blood and weak nerves there is no remedy in the world eqxtal to it. You cannot enjoy good health if your bowels are constipated. Ayer's Pills cure constipation every time. Prepared by Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co., Lowell, Mass., U.S.A.
