How One RerlmsntaI Pet Wa. Secured.

How One RegImental Pet Was Secured.
The Ninety-ffth Derbyshire (now the
Second Battalion Derbyshire regiment),
possessed at one time a highly priced
pet 1t was or the Both of March, 1853,
that Major and Brevet Lieutenant Col
onel Raines Of the N~inety-ffth foot, led
the third assaulting column at the capture
Of Kotah, and important fortified city of
Rajpootana. The assault had proved
successful; Kotah was taken, and the
Ninety-ifth, under Colonel Raines, was
engaged in clearing the streets, when u
private of the Grenadier company no.
ticed a fine black ram tethered in a
garden.
1t was a magnificent animal, with
enormous curved horns-one, IL fact, Of
the famous breed of Rajpootana fight
ing ram" Colonel Raines' attention be-
ing drawn to this ram, 1t struck him
how very well it would look marching
at h head Of the Ninety-tifth; so, as
there was no actual fighting going on at
that moment, he ordered the Grenadier
to take possession of the animal.
The order was readily obeyed, and
thus the Ninety-ffth acquired this hand
some representation of their county
badge (the Derby Ram"), for the ram
proved a willing prisoner, showing not
the slightest disposition to resent his
compulsory enlistment into her Britain
mic majesty's service. The N~inety-ffth
highly approved sof their prize. The
ram was forthwith dubbed Derby l."
and handed over to the care of the big
drummer, who from that time became

THE Sun has discovered The LEADERS,
attack on the police force for the rank IN
competency displayed last Friday was
based entirely upon politics shat is the
chief of police being Republican he
might naturally expect an attack from
a Democratic paper. This is a pretty poor
explanation considering the fact that the
Sun itself covered two and half columns

rest had been made. 1t was doubly poor
when 1t is considered that the correspond

energy he displayed in the same direction.
We sincerely hope that 1t wasu'ta matter
of politics which preluded the police from
interfering with the eDtcrprising burglars

while in Cheyenne. Even the Sun will

lnasmuch ms cells must go to sea in
order to propagate their species, they are
found not TO multiply at all when placed
in ponds that are l~andlocked, although
in such places they will grow rapidly
and be healthy. 1t costs so little to pur-
chase young ones by the quantity that
this is no obstacle to the usefulness of
stocking inland waters with these fish.
They have many very important advan-
tages from the economic point of view,
inasmuch as they will feed on anything
dead or alive, will thrive in water clear
or muddy and at any temperature, and
require no looking out for.
However, in rivers like the Susque-
hanna, where gill nets are used, cells
are very undesirable. 1t is not unusual
upon hauling the nets in hat stream
and in others farther south to find that
the catch has been entirely eaten up by
myriads of the squirming robbers, which
have left little besides heads and back
bones. 1t has been found advantageous
by the fish commission to plant cells in
the upper great lakes and in the Missis.

Some Of the most prominent iron
founders are introducing a new and sim
pie practice in order to secure stronger
castings, the method in question consist
ing in placing thin sheets of wrought
iron in the center of the mold previous
to the operation of casting. This method
was first resorted to, it appears, in the
casting Of thin plates for the ovens of
cooking stoves, it being found that a
sheet of thin iron in the center of a quar-
ter inch oven plate rendered it practi-
cally unbreakable by fire.
This result has led to the process be-
ing now applied to the casting of large
iron pipes, a core of sheet iron imparting
additional strength and lessening the
liability to any fracture. AS an evil
dence of the additional strength capable
Of being impaired by this means, it is
stated that a plate of iron one-fourth of
an inch thick, cast with a perforated
sheet Of 27-wire gauge wrought iron in
the center, possessed six times the
strength of a similar cast plate with no
core. The quarter inch plate had the
strength of a plate one inch thick.-New
York Sun.

How 1t Feels to Have n Bug In Ones Ear.
"a bug in his ear" is n figure very ex-
tensively used in common conversation.
But, reader, did you ever nave a bug in
your ear in fact? If not, you have no
idea how it feels. B. F. Tomlinson, who
experienced the sensation, says he never
suffered such torture in his life. The
bug crawled into his ear while he was
lying in bed asleep, between IL and 12
o'clock n night. 1t was only a COM
mon candlebug or fly, but the degree of
torture n of them can inlict while in
the ear is beyond the scope of the imagi-
nation. Mr.. Tomlinson said that when
he awoke he dreamed that a railway
train had jumped the track, struck him
in the ear and was blowing its way
through his head. The train kept going,
but it seemed that it would never get
through.
Occasionally it would stop and then
start again with renewed force. Then
again the train seemed to be at a stand
still, but the wheels would be turning
with lightning rapidity. The train
would move off gradually with a grating
noise, and would not stop till the whistle
blew for the next station oil it ran off the
track or collided with another train,
which frequently occurred. Mr.. Tom
linson stood the torture till daylight,
when he sent for doctor, who succeeded
in fishing out the' bug, which in the
meantime had died. Mr.. Tomlinson
said that if the bug had remained in his
ear IN hour longer he would have been
a raving maniac. Mexico (Mo.) Intelli-

A westerner at one Of the prominent
up town hotels was feeling restless and
i'll one hot evening and rang for a doc
tor. The latter was In the same house.
He called at his patients room and dag
nosed the case as simple insomnia, and
gave n couple of powders and retired.
The doctor called the next morning to
see how the patient (whom he correctly
judged to be a man of means) was get
ting on. During the day he saw him in
cidentally three or -four times. The bill
was twenty-five dollars. Five dollars a
visit from a doctor living on the same
floor with him in the same house was
something that nearly caused the west
erner to faint. But the bill had one eff
