Tommy Atkins

The following tribute to the British soldier is given by Captain Phillips, late of Remington's Guides, who has just published a book on the South African War :—

Of his (Tommy) courage one need scarcely speak. It ia a subject on whioh a great deal of rubbish baa been talked. it is not tru<i that all soldiers are brave, nor ia it true that ev^n brave soldiers will go anywhere r.n 1 do anything; On tho other hand, it cer tainly is true that our soldiers' courage —»that is, their apparent unconscious ness of danger strikes one as very re marksvble. You need no| believe more about the light of battle and tho war rior'a lust, and all that sort of thing, than you want to. There "v very little excitement in a modern battle, and the English soldier is not an excitable man, bat this oniy mtkes the display of courage more striking. Nothing can be more terrible than one of our slow charges, a charge in which all the peril which used to be compressed into a handred ywds' rash in hot blood is spread out over an afternoon's walk I am sure any man who has ever taken part in one of those ghastly processions and, at thirty yards' interval, watched the dust-spots, at first promiscuous!, gradually concentrating round hira, and listening to the constant aoft whine or nearer hias of passing bullets, and seen men fall and plodded still, solitary, waiting his turn, would look upon the maddest and bloodiest rush of old days as a positive luxury by comparison

Taking him altogether, then, your general impression of the Tommy is one of solid good temper and strength. Of his faults and failings', when you get to know him, you cannot help making light j for bis faults are faults of con duct only, while strength is strength of character, Aa aa individual, I dare say you could criticise him, but in the mass, for the strength of breed he shows and the confidence he gives you in yoar race, you will have nothing but admiration.

I have told you what T could about Mm, because he is a man you have merer seen, and will probably never have a chance of seei ig, For no one who has not seen Tommy in the field has teen him at all. If you love Eng land, you mast love the army. If you are a patriot, not merely a Jingo, the sight of these ragged battalions passing itfill give you such a thrill as only very line and splendid things do give ; and very proud you will feel if ever you bave had a hand in shariog their work and been admitted to some sort of fellowship with them.

Children's Clothing Taking Fire.

l'he Home Office has addressed the following circular to all provincial M *yors and other local authorities of the United Kingdom :—I am directed by the Secre tary of State to inorm you thab some months ago the Coroner for Nottingham called his attention to the frequency wibh which the death of young children is caused by their clashing taking fira ab unprotected fire grates, and that the Council of the Coroners' Sosiety of England and Waleß, with whom Mr Ritchie communicated, have been good enough to obtain a return on tho suSject from 200 Ooroneri In England and Wales, It appears from this return thit in the years 1899 and 1900 these Coroners held 1684 inquests on bodies of children whose death resulted from burning, and that in 1426 of those caaei the inquests Bhowed that the fire was unprotected by a guard. The loss of life thn3 caused i@ so serious and deplorable thab the foots should ba made as widely known m possible by {)isoted notices to the public through the ocal press, and tha Secretary of State euggeats steps for this purpose be taken without delay,

LIVER TROUBLE A STORY AT 74, The Case of Mr. H. MoBEATH, {By a Special Reporter.) .-"if--. What a pleasant contrast comfortably situated people afford to their more un fortunate fellows who have had unlimit ed adversities to contend against, and who are, consequently, subservient to the meagre charities of the world. Time and fortune have dealt very leniently with Mr. Hector Mcßeath, who was devoting some attention to the garden when our reporter called at his resi dence in Gordon-street, Hillside, Dune din. A conversation was entered into, when Mr. Mcßeath said: "I am entering into my seventy fourth year, yet I feel almost as young as when I was in my prime. Having very few worldly cares, and being in tho best of health, I reckon I ought to bo happy, and so I am, thank God. But I remember a time in my earlier days when I was the most miserable man in Dunedin." "What happened to upset you, Mr. Mcßeath?" "My-health broke down, and for twelve months I suffered acutely with my liver. I used to think I had a con stitution of iron, but. it is> surprising how the liver can quickly dissipate such a notion. My disease came on very quietly, for beyond a continual tired and distressed feeling I did not observe any particular inconvenience from my complaint. A few weeks later I had aching pains in my legs, and it took but very little exercise to make me quite, exhausted. I could eat but poorly, yet I felt as though I was over burdened with foodj a suffocating sensa tion also being in my chest. _$ Sharp pains were located in my stomach im mediately after meals, and they stayed there and tormented me for hours. In fact, I was hardly ever free from, some kind of agony, my back, just a little below the neck, coming in for a fair share.® The action of my heart was very irregular, as it used to beat rapidly for a while, and then gradually die away till I feared it was going to stop. A quantity of sour gas rose from the decaying food in my stomach, and the smell and taste of it often made me sick. I have often done nothing but belch up wind for fully an hour, and my head —well, it ached so badly that I could not see. Specks appeared be fore my eyes, and the light fairly dazed me. My mouth was in a foul state, with a coated tongue, and I was troubl ed with confinement of the bowels. The rest I got was none too good, as my sleep was disturbed by a series of ugly dreams. A stabbing pain in my right side made me unable to sit up, while to bend or walk was sometimes murderous torture. My disease piled up one ailment upon another till I be came so irritable that I did not know what to do with myself. All my n«rve power was lost, for I could not keep my limbs from shaking if you had paid me. A drumming sort of noise came in my ears, and made me quite deaf while it lasted, and, above all, I wife frightfully thin and weak. I just felt as though I wanted to die, and thus put a stop to my sufferings." f ; " Did you think that death was your only source of relief?"' " I did so, because the medicine that was dispensed to me gave me no com fort whatever. My house was like a medical hall with empty medicine bot tles, the contents of which had had no effect. I had no hope of getting better, as it appeared my disease had gone too far into my system. A friend then presented me with a bottle of medicine which he said was bound to do mo good. On reading the label I found it was Clements Tonic. After a dose or two I felt a little comforted, and slept better that night. In the morning I ate some breakfast, my pains subsided by degrees, arid so I went on till I was all right again. Sly nervous sys tem was strengthened and my liver re stored to order by Clements Tonic, and I have not required a dose of phyr.ic since. Clements Tonic is the best medi cine known to me, therefore you may publish these statement.'? in any way." STATUTORY DECLARATION.
