Batches of Big Babies.

Which will be the year of big babies in the twentieth century ? By this ia not meant the. greatest numberof births bat the year which will launch th* great men of the century into life. It is more than remarkable that heroes are born in batches. In some one yetr nature will turn out more great men than in all the other ninety-nine years of the century.

In the eighteenth century 1769 was the year. Paring those twelve months Were born Napoleon, hia Marshals Hey Soak, Bessierea, and his Secretary Bourienne. The Duke of Wellington and Admiral Hnrdy (Nelson's friend) were of the same year, as if te counter balance the great Frenchman—which they did. Mehenaet AW, the great Pasha of Egypt, was another of the same brood, as were Chateaubriand and Lord Oaatlereagh, To the arts of peace 1769 gave Brunei, the great en gineer; and Cuvier, the great naturalist, Hamboldt, the traveller, and Accum, the chemist.

In the last century 1809 was em phatically the yeir of groat babies. Then were born Darwin (whose influence af fected every phase of thought and action), Tennyson, Browning, Dr Martinet, Strauss, the great GermW tlieoioginn, Stauston, the master of chess, Oliver Wendell Holmep.lProfeasor Blackfe, and Mark Lemon (of 'PuncU') Gladstone, Jifapoleon 111, President Lincoln, Robert Lee, the Confederate General, Juarez, the Mexican President and O'Donne), the Spanish warrior and statesman, not to mention the late Lord Armstrong, and Baraum, the prince of showmen*

No othfcr year can show anch a fer tility of genius, though there have been sonic curious coincidences of ■ birth. Herbert Spencer and Tyndall were botb^born in 1820. Hubinstein, Joa chim, and Saivini first made a noise in tho world in 1830 ; and in 1843 three other stars burst upon the musical firmament —Madames Patti and Chris tine Nilsson »nd Dr liichter. The

three novelists, Zola, Ouicla, &md the late William Black, date their author ship from 1840. Another notable year is 1852, when Madame Albani, Generals French and Col vile, Mr As* qaith and Mr Rhodes, Sir George Caa* sel, the railway king, Oanon Gore, and Beerbohm Tree all made their debafc.

Lady's Lift Imperilled

From th© Victoria Ocffae Palace, a C largely pairouieed and admirably con ducted institution in Nolan St. Mary borough, Vie, ccraes particulars of a strange affair by which the life of a young lady residing there was imperilled. When a pressman called post haste and asked for particulars, he was introduced to Miss Minnie Lethlean.

' What you have beard is qulto true,' she said in anas veer to erqoities. .To give you full particulars 1 must tell you ihat when I was nineteen, iifiuetza attacked mo, and felcmo weak, listiea*, and bloodless ; tjtien pneumonia set in. I euflered from eLiveriug fits, feveiishness, dry burning akin, hacking cough, quick irregular biearlnng, shortness of breath, and my chest was extremely paiuf al. - My geueral health further declined and I tnaciine pai lialiy para'ysed, Indeed, my life vaa despaired of. tior was this all, for ansemia developed. My face at d lips grew more pallid than ever. I could scarcely pat one foot before the other. Sometimes I famtad quite sway in the hot weather. Later on die auecnia seemed to be develop ; ing into consumption.' I 'Of course you were well attended to 2'

' Yea, I was, bat medical treatment ' and tonics proved valueless. Then I read ** paragraph stating thab Dr Williams' pink pills for pale people were efficacious |in extreme oases. I sent for a supply, and after using the contents of one box felt brighter*and stronger. As I continued, taking them the color came back to my cheeks, I pad on flesh, and day after day recovered strength, Now every trace of influenza, pneumoaia, paralysis, and anaemia has left) me. lam in good spirits, and the wonderful im provement in my appearance has beeu remarked by all.' The general decline from which Mies Lethlean suffered made her system peculiarly liable to attack by disease. By replenishing the lost blood, touing op the I nerves; and strengthening the spine, Dr fo'illiams' pink pills restored her in perfect htsu'fch an(* freed her from every traca of disease They cure consumption, weak heart, livei and kidney troubles, dlarr hoei, ei&cts of fevers, measles, influenza etc, dyspepsia, skin diseasee, open Bores, etc. ekodlwd by chemists and store, keepers and by She Dr Williams' Medicine I Co., Old Custom ..House St., Wellington, (three shillings per six boxes sixteen and six, pose free.
