He calls the affection 'photo-electrical

A BALAKLAVA RELIC.
One of the Heroes of the Famous Charge
Turns Up in st. Louis.

One of the Heroes of the Famous Charge
Turns Up in st. Louis.
William Yates, of st. Louis. was a
member of the Seventh Hussars, I'M
der the command of the Earl of Cardi-
gan, which was engaged in the prin-
ciple battles of the Crimea.
In speaking of the Balaklava charge,
Mr. Yates said: ut was a terrible
battle; through jealousy of the other
troops our brigade had been accused
of neglecting opportunities from the
indecisiOn and over-cautiOn of our
leaders. and naturally we were stung
and declared that at the first Opportu-
nifty we would show the world that we
were not too good to fight Our work
for some time previous had been that
of skirmishing and foraging.
Our work in this direction was
perhaps better appreciated by the
Russians than by our fellow soldiers,
as on one occasion our company cap
tured 1,5OO COssacks who were guard
ing supply train Of 80 wagons of
bread; this and few minor events
embittered the Russians against the
Seventh Hussars. and when Lord Rag
lan's order to charge was received the
danger of the attack was fully real
lied, but, with a determination t.
overcome the prejudice against Us. we
started on that memorable charge, our
commander some distance in the lead
When our colors came into view the
enemy quickly concentrated the fire of
their batteries directly upon US, with
what deadly effect is we'll known.
Only fifty of the 600 returned in
the saddle. In the half hours
work the field was strewn with
our command; $50 were dead and over
100 wounded. l was among the latter,
with shattered leg and unable to
drag myself from the field, being pin
Toned to the ground by the remains of
four horses"
Mr. Yates exhibited several scars
which he received in the battles of
Sebastopol. bayonet wound in the
hand. shot on the lower jaw. an in
jured eye caused by the spliuters of
two balls meeting in mid-air and leg
badly SCARED from the pull down.

"Cardigan's Jolly Boys" plainly tat
tooed thereon. and with a PARKWAY
look the sleeve Of the other arm rolled
up bringing to view the Tower of the
Malakoff neatly pictured on the fore
arm. Il can tell you something about
that he said. During the long
siege before the capture of the Russian
fortress. when fever and starvation
were thinning our ranks, we passed
many dreary day in tattooing one
another. You see the lower part of
the fort is not quite finished; my
'chum' and / were sitting in our tents:
he had drawn the picture. and | had
nearly completed the puncturing when
shell demolished our tent and the
final charge coming soon after, in
which my poor 'chum' met his fate, it
was not and never will be fnishe L."

seven years ago, coming to this coun-
try twenty-five years ago. and is now
an American citizen, prouder of his
allegiance to the United States than

MANY MILLIONS IN 1T,
The Colossal Sums Stored in the United
States SubTreasury.

The Colossal Sums Stored in the United
States Sub-Treasury.
There is stored at the United States
Sub-Treasury down in Wall street be-
tween $780, OOO, 900 and $3.50, 600, OOO A
Government officer who had just de-
posted check for $4,000 accepted an
invitation the other day totake peep at
the vaults. He presently found himself
in moderate sized room whose walls
are honeycombed with little closets
Each of these receptacles contains
100000 in gold. They are duly sealed
and Marked. so that the amount can be
removed quickly on short notice. While
the visitor was present a subordinate
came in with modest demand for
81, 800, 900, and it was promptly served
out. ''Here is something pretty" said
the cicerOne of the occasion, opening
a vault on the opposite side of the
room. He thrust in hand and
drew out package having the base
area of S. bill and height of some
inches. ''How much does it contain, do
you suppose?" inquired the treasury
official: ''You see it is made up of $1O,-
600 bills The wondering spectator
was staggered when told that the pack
age contained SIS, 900, 900. The increase
in the amount of money deposited in
these vaults during the past quarter of
century is something surprising.
When John j. Cisco was the Assistant
Treasurer at this city, $40 100000 or $50,
coo, 900 was considered great amount of
- 14eo
Yet during the administration of G. j.
Canda, President Cleveland's First AS
Sistant Treasurer, the amount was in
creased to $4,000, 900. So perfect was
the system that Mr.. Canda, in speaking
of this, naively said: Eyes, suppose /
had under my charge more money than
was ever confded to one man at one time.
But then it didn't do me much good.
l could not have drawn out or embezZled
a single cent of it without somebody
knowing It. / could not even enter the
vaults without assistance from clerk
who carried some of the keys" But the
responsibility is, nevertheless, very
large, and weighs heavily upon the men
who assume it. Very few men care to
take it for any length of time, and Mr..
Canda, after few months trial, re-
signed and returned to the banking bus
mess. Nearly all the men who have
held this Office and remained in bust
ness have found their way into impor-
tant banking establishments. This is
true of Mr.. Acton, who is now president
of the Bank of New Amsterdam, and of
Mr.. Canda himself, who is cashier of
the Western National Bank, of which
the late Secretary Manning was presi-
dent, and which is now presided over by
Conrad n. Jordan, who was Treasurer OF
the United States at Washington while
Mr.. Canda was the Assistant Treasurer
here.-From New York Dispatch.

GIRLS AS GYMNASTS.
They Are Reckless and Over-Daring In
Their Enthusiasm.


'Girls should never be allowed in
gymnasium unless they are in charge of
thorough master of calistheniscs and
gymnastics, said professor to re-
porter. cit may seem strange to say,
but the girls are more daring and much
more reckless than boys when they get
the.athletic fever. 1t seems to be very
catching nowadays.
''Only short time ago young lady
came into the gymnasium. She had
never been in gymnasium before. AS
soon as she got her suit on she was try
ing to pull herself up a horizontal bar
and before l could stop her she had
strained the tendons in both arms and
couldn't come back to exercise again
for nearly three months.
'Girls have to take much more sys-
tematic training than boys. They are
not so strong and have to be treated
more tenderly. There are hundreds of
ways in which girl can hurt herself in
gymnasium unless she is very careful.
She can strain her arms and hands by
too much exercise at any thing. She
can sprain her back by jumping to far
on spring board.
81 have known girls to sprain their
toes in the running high jump even
when the bar was only a foot from the
ground. High-heeled shoes press the
toes downward and girls who wear them
always land on their toes when they
Jump instead of on the ball of the foot.
"What exercise should girl practice
at home?' asked the reporter.
Gymnastics, to be healthful, should
only take portion of the strength of
ones muscle, and the constant exercise
of these muscles is what develops them.
/ have seen some delicate girls eXercis-
ing with fve-pound dumb-bells, when
some of the strongest athletes of the
country only use two-pounders. A girl
who wishes to expand her chest can do
so If, each morning after her bath, she
will stand erect, feet together, shoulders
back, arms straight down, and take
twenty-five full, deep breaths. Better
begin fifteen times the first week and
then gradually increase it. Keep up the
increase until in reaches the number of
fifty. By that time her lungs will be
much stronger and the chest will begin
to expand. A round-shouldered girl can
become straight by moving the arms
backward in regular motions until the
elbows are only few inches apart. Let
the first exercise be twenty times and
increase it until 125 times can be done
without fatigue. The throat can be
made round and firm by judicious ex-
efcise of the head. / make my throat
pupils throw the head far back and then
forward slowly, and then from side to
side in the same way.
ssThere is no reason why any girl or
woman not deformed. and about twenty
five or thirty years of age, should not
have a graceful and well-developed
figure, and gymnastics will give it to
her. but not unless she is taught them
properly, IN T. Mail and Express.

every facility to learn the time of Riers

was allowed to bring his mounted courier
within the stockade at the Regina
prison, which is distant four miles from
the telegraph Office. He wrote up all
the preliminaries to the time Riel don

away on the gallop. The courier met
Dlehl en- route to town, after he had
filed his last batch of news, and was
handed the fms of the account. No one
else had taken any such precautions, and
the special correspondents of the Toron-

be contented with very short accounts,
or, worse yet, had to wait until the next
day.

Where Sard mes Come From.

We are prone at times to boast of our
safdine-packing industry in this coun-
try, but it should be borne in mind. for
the sake Of accurate knowledge. that, as
matter of fact, we have no sardine-
packing industry in this country. We
pack a great many boxes Of little fish
which is species of shrimp, and pour
cotton-seed oil over it, and people buy
and eat them under the delusion that
they are eating sardines dressed in
olive oil. The only genuine sardines
are taken on few sections of the coast
of Europe, and the French Gamers have
nearly monopolized the market by es-
sablishing reputation for the absolute
genuineness of their fish and oil, and by
their careful, thorough method of pack
ing, which preserves the exquisite
favor.-Good Housekeeping.
