ABOUT MEIST AND WOMEN. The Duke of Argyll celebrated his fifty-seventh birthday on Wednesday, having been born on August 6th, 1845. The present Duke is the ninth of that title, and is better known as the Marquess of Lornd and husband of the Princess Louise, whom If mar- ried in 1371. The Duke is a somewhat voluminous author and something of a poet. He has published volumes on the United States and Canada, Imperial Federation, and Windsor Castle. Also a "Life of Lord Palnierston," "Life and Times of Qr.een Victoria," and the libretto of an opera (" Diarm id "), with several volumes of tales and poems. He is the Governor of Windsor Castle and Keeper of the Great Seal of Scotland. lie; has been M.P. for Argyllshire, and from 1895 to 1930 represented South Manchester as a Unionist. The Duke of Atholl, who was sixty-two on Wednesday, is a great Highland chief, who spends most of his time on his estate in Perthshire, where he keeps up all the traditions of the clan. In Blair Atholl the Duke is monarch of most he surveys, and rules the pretty little town with benevolent despotism. But as the station-master in moments of confidence tells visitors, "he is just a man like you and me." At home he always wears kilts, and insists upon his sons and servants doing likewise. All three of the former served in South Africa, together with not a few of the Atholl Highlanders, a splendid body of men, who in the peaceful pursuit of Highland games annually distinguish themselves at the Blair Atiioll gathering. In the history of the nineteenth century two Queenly women will stand out in high and honourable relief—Queen Victoria of England and Queen Maria Christina of Spain. Queen Maria Christina, who has lately visited Paris, had not quitted Spain for sixteen yer.rs. The Spanish laws are so exceptionally rigorous as regards tho Sovereign quitting the country without the per- mission of Parliament that the Queen has been unable even to cross the frontier when at San Sebastian to pay a visit to Biarritz to Sovereigns who had been her guests at Miramar. Thus for sixteen years her Majesty has never even paid a visit to her mother in Austria, being true to the promise made to her husband that she would not quit Spain during her son's minority. Her progress from San Sebastian to Paris was a scene of successive ovations. After a visit to Queen Isabella at Con>iegne Queen Maria was to proceed direct to Aus:, i, to visit her mother. There are certain fictions relating to prominent personages which it is impossible to kill, remarks Truth. One of these vigoro.; fabrications is the tale of Lord Salisbury leaving Oxford in 1850 for the Australian goldfields in cousem ice of pecuniary embarrassments which ;1> father ",d no disposition to relieve. Lord Salisbr. was perfecHy at ease in his circumstances when he left E "land on a tour round the world, in the course < ( which he paid the passing visit to the goldfiekl which has been the foundation for such a huge superstructure of inventions. Another romance about Lord Salisbury which has recently been revived is the mendacious story of his being "discarded" by his father when he married Miss Alderson in 1356, with the result that he was obliged to take seriously to journalistic work in order to support himself and his wife. As a matter of fact, Lord always received an income of £800 a-yea; from his father, which would have been quite enough to support his house- hold if he had never earned a penny by his pen. Lord and Lady Robert Cecil lived quietly and com- fortably, without any r.saless display, like sensible people. The Princess of Wales, \10 is in a delicate state of health, will, early next v-ek, go to Osborne with her children, who are to have some sea-bathing there. The Princess of Wales is not going to Scotland this year, according to present arrange- ments, and when she leaves Osborne her Royal Highness will either return to Frogmore or go direct to Sandringham. There is a saying that none but millionaires can become members of the United States Senate; and while this is yearly more true, remarks a correspondent, Senator Kearns, of Utah, who is now staying in London, is orre of those who prove the rule by being its excep'ion. He was born a British subject on Canadian soil, but emigrated early in life to Utah, and rose to the United States Senate from his adopted State. Senator Kearns intends making a considerable stay in the British Isles. The death has occurred, at Wimbledon, of his Honour Judge French, the well-known judge of the county-courts of Bow and Shoreditch. Daniel O'Connell French was born in 1843 at Liverpool, educated at the Jesuit College at Tournai, in Belgium, and at an early age began to practise as a lawyer. He was called to the Bar at the Middle Temple in 1872,and became a distinguished member of the Northern Circuit. In 1885 he took silk, and shortly afterwards was made a Bencher of the Middle Temple. He was appointed a county-court judge in 1893, in the first instance at Leicester, and afterwards at Bow and Shoreditch. A cablegram has been received at the Memorial Hall, London, announcing the safe arrival of the Rev. Burford nooke at Hobart, Tasmania. Mr Hooke, who is secretary of tho Colonial Missionary Society, is visiting the Congregational Churches in the Australian States and New Zealand on behalf of the Society. Sir Henry Thompson, Bart, F.R.C.S., reached the good old age of eighty-two on Wednesday, having first seen the light at Framlingham, Suffolk, on August 6th, 1820. Sir Henry's medical and surgical honours are almost too numerous to mention. His accomplishments are also varied. He has been an exhibitor of paintings in the Royal Academy anc French Salon. He is an authority on lithotomy: he is an astronomer, and has a private observatory. He was written many works on surgical subjects, and on other topics, so diverse as "Food anc Feeding" and "Motor Cars." He has been Professoj of Pathology and Surgery in the Royal College 01 Surgeons; is President of the Cremation Society, and holds the appointment of Surgeon-Extraordinary to the King of the Belgians. h. Mr. Louis Wain, the famous cat artist, kept his forty-second birthday on Tuesday. He is the son oi a North Staffordshire gentlema-1, but his mother was a French lady. As a black-and-white artist Mr. Wain has achieved considerable fame. He first began to draw cats in 1883, and became president of the National Cat Club in 1891. During his presi- dency the first known stud-book of the domestic carnivora was compiled and published. Mr. Wain may almost be called a lightning artist—at least in his sketches of kittens, so rapidly is he able tc caricature those playful creatures. By the death of Mr. George Dalziel, at Hamp- stead, in his eighty-seventh year, English engraving and book illustration has lost a notable and skilful exponent, who, with his brothers, worked in con- junction with many of the famous artists of thH time before process-printing killed the bold, manly, and artistic lines of the engraver. The tradition which Bewick handed on to such men as CIOIwlJ, Charlton Nesbit, or William Harvey, the Da'ziel? kept alive in the work of Whymper, Thomas, Linton, Biscombe, Gardner, and many more; besides reproducing the work of famous artists like Gilbert, Millais, Rossetti, Burne-Jones, Frederick Walker. Leighton, Poynter, Watts, and Charles Green. The services rendered to the art of engraving by George Dalziel and his brother cannot now be over-estimated. Charles Annandale, of Dictionary fame, was born in Kincardineshire fifty-nine years ago on Wednes- day. After leaving Aberdeen Universitiy he began the huge task of compiling and editing works of reference. He is a great walker, and sometimes accomplishes thirty miles on end.

PROFESSOR WAXKLYX ON PURE WATERS. The popular demand fo.r table waters has assumed such proportions that the need for discrimination has arisen. Ordinary town water, such as is used for drinking and other purposes, is seldom pure enough tor employ- ment in the manufacture of first-rate table waters; and much of the common aerated water is unsatisfactory, because even the small quantity of organic matter originally present in the water before it receives the charge of carbonic acid suffers putrifactive change when the water is kept. One of the distinguishing characteristics of really good table waters is, that they will keep for a very long time, and that, having been opened (and the carbonic acid having been allowed to escape) they still remain sound and perfectly free from unpleasant smell. There can be no doubt that inferior table waters are unwholesome and ought to be avoided; and that a really good table water is an excellent contribution to the require- ments of civilised life, and is quite worth paying for. A manufactory of table waters requires, as the foundation of the industry, an abundant supply of exquisitely pure water—it should possess a deep-spring, carefully guarded from all sources of contamination. Starting with an absolutely pure water supply, the manu- facturer of first-rate table waters will main- tain the most scrupulous cleanliness in every detail of the manufacture. The advantage of not being cramned in the factory is obvious, and long experience in the practical carrying on of the manufacture has taught the import- ance of the following details:- The bottling machines should occupy a place in the works kept quite apart from the departments which are appropriated to wash, ing, packing and unpacking. Only the best new corks should be used; patent stoppers should be avoided. Contamination with metallic poisons is avoi- ded by the employment of silver or pure block tin, whenever, in the process of the manufacture, the water comes into contact with a metallic surface. In the case of syphons, great care is de- manded in order to ensure the purity of the metal used in the heads of the syphons; and on the return of the syphon to be refilled, the greatest care has to be taken to clean the syphon thoroughly before refilling it. Such chemicals as are required should be of the best quality, and cheap substitutes should be rejected. The water of the deep-spring at Ruthin, the sole property of the old-established firm of Messrs. R. Ellis and Son, and situated on their premises, ranks with the purest water in the world, and the owners occupy the first place in their own department of manufactur- ing industry. M A STRANGE STANDARD OF VALUE. Captain Barberie, an Anglo-Indian of infin- ite humour, into whose short life of thirty- five years was crowded more incident than falls within the expeience of most centenar- ians, had the misfortune to lose a leg at the siege of a city in India, and was awarded a Government annuity of JB50. Thereafter, the Captain adopted a standard of value peculiar to himself, and would refer to £100 as two legs, £25 as half a leg, and so on. It is not to every portion of the human body that Cap- tain Barberie's system could be applied. A human being may lose a leg, or even two legs, and yet live; but no government has ever been called upon to allow a man a. pension because he had lost his stomach, his liver, or his heart in its service. (We use this last expression in its phyiscal and not its romantic sense). The loss of those necessary parts of our being means death; their derangement, misery. Hundreds of thousands could from bitter experience tell us as much, but for the present we will be content to listen to what Mrs. Annie McDonald, of Homewood Villa, Winstanley Crescent, Ramsgate, has to say. It was at the age of 21,' writes Mrs. Mc- Donald, I was first attacked by indi- gestion. It began in the usual way—a feeling of pain and discomfort after food, slight at first, but gradually increasing in intensity un- til it became veritable torture, and I was afraid to eat even so much as a piece of bread and butter. I thought it would pass away of itself, but instead it daily grew worse, and I was compelled to seek medical advice. I went to one of the great London hospitals, where I was questioned and sounded, and sent home with a bottle of cod liver oil, being instructed to eat the most nourishing food and take plenty of fresh air. It was impos- sible for me to follow this advice, for I had no appetite and was, besides, afraid to eat. The cod liver oil I forced myself to take but it was rejected immediately, and I could never succeed in keeping it on my stomach. This difficulty I explained to the doctors, who merely told me that I must persevere with it. Finding no relief, I tried three other hospit- als in succession, but continued to grow worse. I became thinner and thinner, and with sunk- en eyes and drawn face at the age of 26 ap. peared like an old woman. For five years' I suffered this misery, the pain I endured being only too apparent in my face. Some people were of opinion that I was consumptive, and told me so. The fear that I should die and leave my little ones quite unnerved me. We went to Brighton to live, and while there I experienced one of my worst attacks. It was on that occasion I was advised by a neigh- bour to try Mother Siegel's Curative Syrup she had used it herself, and, knowing its worth, was convinced it would do me good. I obtained a half-crown bottle of it, and never was money better soent. At the end of a week I was a different woman—I felt better and brighter," and my apetite revived. Three other half-crown bottles completed the work which the first had begun, and ever since my health has been as good as I could wish it to be.'

The Canadian Press is practically unanimous in the opinion that the Dominion Government should accept the Canadian Pacific Railway Company's offer for a fast Atlantic service. A Biu-sels correspondent understands that the German Government has sent a diplomatic note to London on behalf of the German shareholders of the Netherlands South African Bailway. I one of the reasons to which Mr. Frederick Goodall, R.A., attributes his failure is the general depreciation in the value of works of art executed by living artists. Some time ago he was earning a 3car, but tor the past three years his annual income has not exceeded £ 1,000.

It was stated that when arrested the woman was intoxicated through drinking the wine.

Loru Monteagle metwitn a severe accident a few ao. He tried to remove a fly from his eye when riding his bicycle, but lost his balance, and was thrown heavily to the ground. It is announced from New York that Mr. Schwab, President, of the Steel Trust, has been fully restored to health. As a token of his gratitude he announces that he will build a cathedral and orphanage, and an episcopal palace, in the Roman Catholic diocese of Altoon (Pa.).

The 1 all Mall Gazette,' in an article on Country Literature, some time back, said For the most part readers in town [London] and suburbs only glance at the exciting portions of papers, and then cast them aside. Readers in the villages read every line from the first col- umn to the last, from the title to the printer's address. The local papers are ploughed stead- ily through, just as the horses plough the fields, and every furrow of type conscientiously followed from end to end, advertisements and all. The brewer's, the grocer's, the draper's, the ironmonger's advertisements (market-town tradesmen), which have been there month after month, are all read, and the slightest change immediately noted. If there were any adver- tisement of books suitable to their taste, it would be read in exactly the same manner. So it would in a daily paper whenever it got to them. But in advertising for country people one fact must be steadily borne in mind—that they are slow to act, that is, the advertisement to produce any result must be permanent. A few insertions are forgotten before those who have seen them have made up their minds to purchase. When an advertisement is always there, by-and-by the thought suggested acts on the will and the stray coin is invested-it may be six months after the first inclination arose. The procrastination of country people is inex- plicable to hurrying London men. But it is quite useless to advertise unless it is taken into account. If permanent, an advertisement in the local press will h its mark. J, rHYPE-SLTTING BY 1\ MACHINERY, DRIVEN BY ELECTRICITY. TYPE-SETTING BY M ACHINERY, DRIVEN BY ELECTRICITY.
