WARRIOR WOMEN. the position of women in the last century, writes Sir \Valter Besant in the London Queen, leads to many classes of SulelVlSll ns. I have ascer- tained. without much trouble. that Woâ€" man drank like a man, fought like a man and was as strong as a man. One of these men-like women led the mob in the Gordon riots of 1780, and, to escape the consequences, assumed man‘s dress, became a peddler. and keplt up the disguise for the rest of her life. There is the case of Samuel Bundy, the girl who served on board a man of war first There was a negress on board the Queen Charlotte for eleven years; she became captain of the foretop. There were many others, but I will only re- late the case of Christian Cavanagh. Her father lost his fortune, and she was taken up by an aunt who kept a tavern. She married the waiter and had three children. This husband was then kidnapped, after the humane methods of the time, and was carried off to Holland, where he had to enlist as a private soldier. When Christian heard of this she dressed as a man and unlisted as a private soldier in order to get near her husband. She was wounded at the battle of Landen. She was made prisoner by the French, and was carried to St. Germainâ€"en-Laye, where she stayed till she was ex- changed. She quarreled with her sergeant, fought a duel with him, wounded him, Ind got transferred to another regiâ€" ment. Again she was wounded. At Ramillies she was wounded in the head, and while in hospital her secret was discovered. She was per- mitted to stay with the regiment as cock. She married again, lost her second husband, returned to England and pre- sented a petition to the Queen, set- ting forth her case and her services. The Queen gave her a bounty of £50 1nd a pension of a shilling a day. She married a third time, set ups pie shop, name over to Chelsea Hospital, with her third husband, died in 1739. and was buried with military honors. _+___ TRUTH AND OBEDIENCE.

Jan. lst.â€"â€"The broom- mzikr-rs of this city are as industrious and make as mueh money as the aVer- age broomunakcr in this country. But the way the business has been 30mg of recent years nvcessilules that the men work very hard. Competition is rife in broom manufacturing as in most lines to-day. A. Bong. of 10 Leslie Street. London \Vcst, broke down under the strain. He was working the regular ten hours a day, but a broomâ€"maker has to work very fast and very steady, Bong's back gave out. He continued to work at his trade, however, though it was con- tiiiuul misery. Only those who have suffered with backache know how disabling and painful the trouble is. -It is wonder- t'ul how every movement of the body seems to jar on the back. It is as if the back were the central point from which all the muscles radiated. . The reason of this is that backache is not backache at all literally. Back- ache in kidney ache and every move- ment of the body shakes the disorder- ed kidneys to a greater or less ex- tent and keeps them in a constant state of irritation. To cure backache. you must use Dodd‘s Kidney Pills, as Mr. Bong found out. He writes: "I have been troubled with a very ’severe pain in my back and I conclud- ed to take some Dodd‘s Kidney Pills. I have done so and I find they have cured me. I have to work ten hours a. day at broomâ€"making and now I am a new man. I highly recommend them to any one for backache. I do not feel the pain any more or has it since returned. “I remain, yours truly, " A. Bong." ___4.â€" DE MORTUTS. Bizzibuddy-‘Vhat do you mean by such a remark?

I tried everything I could read or think about to help me, but was getting worse instead of better. My condition was terribleâ€"I was losing flesh and color, and my friends were alarmed. I consulted a doctor of this town and he said I would never get better; that I would always be sickly and delicate. and that medicines were of little use to me. Hearing what Dr. Ward’s Blood and Nerve Pills had done for others I de- termined to try them myself, and to- day I weigh one hundred and forty pounds. while before i weighed only one hundred and eighteen pounds. and I now have a constitution that is hard to brat. I have not suffered any pain in months and earnestly hope that Dr. Ward‘s Blood and Nurvc Pills will every woman suffering as I did. lelCPI‘L‘l)’ yours, MAY LOLE, Simt-oe, Ont.
