Strollers on the London Embankment witnessed a beautiful little scene recently. A party of Guards, bound for duty at the Bank of England, was marching in full military glory down tn<?- Thames side, led by a young subaltern. Just beyond Charing Cross a ragged band of small Boy Scouts came along, with worn poles and battered slouch hats, marching at ease. As they approached the' Guards the Scout leader, a ragged urchin, rasped out- in shrill tones the command. “Scouts! Attention! Eyes right!” and he raised his own hand to the salute. Tnstantly the Guards’ commander shouted . Guard, eves right,” and while his men behaved with the same solemn ami stalely precision as if they were saluting the King, he himself returned with full ceremony the salute with liis sword. • Esc “Nazol” arm you won’t keep a bad cold or sore throat above a day or two. Acts like a charm: CO closes 1/6.— Advt.
