HAVE XOU SOME" POCfcfcT, DEAR? SbME CHEUJtM5 tUN GEN, ISAAC BROCK Who Commanded Dominion Forces Against Americans in War of 1812. (National News Association) BROCKVILLE, Ont., Aug. 15 A i monument in honor of the memory of General Sir Isaac Brock, who was in command of the Canadian forces against the Americans in the war of i 1812, was unveiled in this city today, with interesting but modest ceremonies. The local chapter of the Daughters of the Empire, to whose efforts the erection of the monument is due, was in charge of the ceremonies. The principal address was delivered by Col. Samuel Hughes, the Canadian minister of militia and defence. The date for the unveiling of the memorial was appropriately chosen, since it will be just one hundred years tomorrow since the surrender of Detroit, with which event the name of General Brock is most closely associated in American history. General Brock was born on the Island of Guernsey in 1769 and had had a brilliant military career in the British service before he was sent to Canada. Nearly two years before the outbreak of the war between Great Britain and the United States he realized that the conflict could not be averted, and he began to put the province in a condition to meet hostilities. As soon as war was declared he advanced upon Detroit. General Hull, the American commander, had retired to Detroit after a brief attempt at an invasion of Canada. The war department had made no adequate provision for the defence of Detroit, and upon the appearance of General Brock the American commander surrendered his entire army, with all its cannon, arms and stores. With the surrender of Detroit the (whole of Michigan fell into the hands iof the British. General Brock was made a knight of the Bath for his victory at Detroit, but he survived his honors less than two months. An American force of j 6,000 gathered on the Niagara frontier i after the fall of Detroit, and there . General Brock gave battle near the t middle of October. He was pierced by I three balls while leading his troops, and died where he fell. An imposing memorial column surmounted by a Btatue of the general marks the place of his death on Queenstown. heights. SUFFERED EVERYTHING For Fourteen Years. Restored i To Health by Lydia E.

There have been made abroad experiments with au octopus, in a specially devised tank of sea water, in order to test the truth of the many stories told of monster cephalopods dragging human victims to the sea bottom, says Harper's Weekly. In the tank with the octopus there was placed a "dummy" of the same specific gravity as a man, and this was baited with a crab. Attracted by this tempting morsel, the octopus made for the figure, seized It in its powerful arms and tried to drag It under water without success. It then urged its body toward the edge of the tank, and. holding the glass with some of its arms, it dragged its prey beneath the surface and crushed the crab shell with its powerful jaws. It is believed that these experiments afford: proof that the octopus can only drag its victims far below the water near rocks to which it can attach its suckers. There is one spot in the bay of Naples where these creatures attain a large size, and now and then a fisherman Is reported missing. It is thought that such disappearances are due to the unfortunate man being caught by the leg by a concealed octopus and dragged under water. In the case of such a repulsive and powerful creature as the octopus it is difficult to separate fact from fiction. A VACATION IN BED. Twenty-four Hours' Sleep Versus a Week's Holiday. If you want to obtain complete rest and recuperation equal to a week's vacation in minimum time sleep the clock around twice is the advice of a physician who holds a high place in medical circles in England. "To spend twenty-four hours in bed." he said to a friend, "instead of rushing away for a -few hours' change of scene when you are run down physically and mentally, is worth a week's holiday. The night before, having gone to a theater to take the mind off worries and having supped wisely and well, instructions -should be given that the morning calling shall be omitted. "Then sleep. On waking turn over and sleep again On waking again ring for some hot milk. Drink it and sleep again and keep on sleeping. Have nothing in the intervals more substantial than soup. Do not read. Keep the eyes shut constantly. Have a warm bath in the evening and sleep again. "When you are tired of sleeping sleep again for the night. Nothing calms the nerves more than resting the eyes." New York Herald. "Were all medicines as meritorious as Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy the world would be much better off and the percentage of suffering greatly decreased," writes Lindsay Scott, of Temple, Ind.

They ought to make effort and see if they are not mistaken. The worst effects of lack of self control are on the health.

She loves a man who has killed another for her, when she was insulted, and repays him in many ways, twice saving his life. He is not a bad man at heart, but circumstances are against him.

A D0UBLE KILLING Leaves Six Small Children Orphans in Chicago. (National News Association) CHICAGO, Aug. 15. Frank Foldesy, aged fifty-three, a traveling salesman, j fatally stabbed his wife and then kill- j ed himself in the kitchen of her home j today. Six small children are left j orphans. The couple have been sepa-1 rated for some time and the husband recently discovered where his wife and children were living. Women In Tibet. Concerning the manners of Tibetans a traveler writes: "The male part of the Amdo population is fond of meeting together for frivolous conversation on all suitable and unsuitable occasions. The most the men do is to go hunting and robbing. The domestic work, such as tending the cattle, collecting fuel, drawing water and. in short, everything, falls on the women. While the wife is working incessantly all day long th husband grows weary with idleness and does not go to her assistance unless she is physically incapable of doing any work at all. On horseback the women are as dexterous as the men. To catch any horse she likes out of the troop, lay her hand on its mane and quickly spring on to the back of the barebacked steed and ride off in any direction she wishes is an ordinary feat for any young Amdo woman." Chicago News. The Oil Bird. One of the animal curiosities of South America is the "oil bird." or guacharo. It breeds in rocky caves, and one of its favorite haunts is the island of Trinidad. It lays its eggs in a nest made of mud, and the young birds are prodigiously fat. The natives melt the fat down in clay pots and produce from it a kind of butter. The caves inhabited by the birds are usually accessible only from the sea, and the hunting of them is sometimes an exciting sport. A Word of Wrath. The word "rabbits" on board a Cornish fishing smack arouses the ire of the crew. Should the hated word be uttered as the boat is leaving the harbor on a pilchard expedition the speaker would stand a fair chance of being hurled overboard. The mere mention of "rabbits" destroys all chances of a "catch." London Chronicle. CHICHESTER S PILLS W,r v THE lIA3!OND BRAND. il V7l.

Is All Right ( AND TH(S FAKE: THINGMONEY NO ONE CLAIMS. British Bank Have Millions That Owners Never Call For. Twenty millions of unclaimed money are In the coffers of British banks derelict gold which nobody owns and which the banks are naturally pleased to take care of gold more than suttlclent to pave every square foot of Cheapside with sovereigns. Some years ago, when Mr. Goschen's conversion scheme was In the air. It was found that the Rank of England aloue had nearly 11,000 of these dormant accounts. Forty of them had more than $50,000 apiece to their credit. One balance was written in six figures $907,000. The total at the bottom of the long list was $39.248.S75. This amount was very largely made up of unclaimed dividends on government stock. For seven years the bankers keep the accounts open, prepared to pay over the balance to any who can prove title to it This term expired, they regard the forgotten gold as their own. Five million dollars of such ownerless money went to build London's splendid law courts. The city, it is said, has more than one magnificent bank building reared from the same handy material. The Bank of England, one learns, provides pensions for clerks' widows out of such a fund. But. whatever becomes of It. these millions of "mystery gold" are always growing, fed by man's carelessness or forgetting, their secrets hidden away In thousands of musty bauk ledgers.

One reason 1 so strongly recommend mercoliied wax is that it really takes the place A several different cosme'ics. saving time, patience and expense. It Is better than any cleansing cream, better than any mansage cream, and better than any rouge, for accomplishing the results for which such articles are used. As the wax actually absorbs an old. faded or discolored cuticle, a little each day. the underlying skin which gradually appears. is clearer. softer, healthier-hued and more youthful than any cosmetic-made complexion. Spreading on a thin coat of this wax at night, washing it off mornings, in a week or so produces a marvelous transformation. Just one ounce of mercolized wax. obtainable at any drugstore, will do the work. There's nothing better to remove freckles, tan. aallowncss. blotches, pimples or blackheads. For wrinkles and loose, saggy skin. I invariably recommend a face bath made by dissolving 1 ounce powdered eaxolite in pint witch hazel: This has remarkable astringent and tonic properties.
