THEY GLORY IN A GOAT.

A Welsh Regiment Has One That
Marches Ahead OF the Soldiers.
The Welsh fusileers, the old Twenty
third, are very ancient corps. They
were embodied in 1850, and it was,
the Pail Mall Budget believes, at an
early period of their existence that
the custom of having a goat, with a
shield and garland on its horns, to
march at the head OF the drums, first
obtained. Grose, in his military An.
tiquities," mentions this custom aa
follows:
'"rhe royal regiment of Welsh fusi-
leers has the privileged honor of pass
ing in review, preceded by a goat with
gilded horns, and adorned with ring
let's OF flowers; and, although this may
not come Immediately under the de-
nomination of q reward of merit, yet
the corps values itself much on the an
cientness OF the custom. Every 1st
OF March, being the anniversary OF
their tutelar saint, David, the officers
give splendid entertainment to all
the Welsh brethren; and after the
cloth is taken away q bumper is filled
round to H. r. H., the prince
OF Wales, whose health is always
drunk the first ON that day, the band
playing the old tune of "The Noble
Race of Shenkin." At that time q
handsome drummer boy, elegantly
dressed, mounted on the goat, richly
caparisoned for the occasion, is led
thrice around the tabN in procession
by the drum major. 1t happened in
ITS, in Boston, that the animal
gave such spring from the floor that
he dropped his rider upon the table,
and then, bounding over the heads OF
some officers, he ran to the barracks
with all his trappings, to the no small
Joy OF the garrison.
In 1884, the then regimental goat
died, and to compensate the Twenty
third for their loss, her majesty pre-
sented the regiment with two of the
finest goats from a fock-the gift of
the shah of Persia-in Windsor park;
and since that date the queen has
continued to supply the royal Welsh
fusileers with goats as the occasion
has required.

BURROWlNG CRAwFISH.
A Frequent Cause of Breaks In the

A Frequent Cause of Breaks In the
Big Mississippi Levees.
Whenever I hear of break in the
levee down in my district, says q
correspondent OF a St. Louis paper, /
know that nine chances to one craw-
fish have caused it. The assertion
may sound slightly exaggerated, but
it Is fact, nevertheless, that the
devilish little crawfsh work more
danger to the levees than does the
water. On big rise, when the bed OF
the river is stretched from embank-
ment to embankment, the crawfish
burrow into the levees and live there
in the moist earth. They multiply
faster than maggots, and loosen up
the earth worse than moles.
The levee may beoompletely sodded
with grass, and you see no external
evidence Of the damage going on with.
in, but when the next big rise comes
you will see it. I have frequently
known the water to break through the
levee two or three feet from the top,
and you can attribute to it nothing
but the destructive work Of orawtish.
This was particularly true of the
break at Offut's in 1850, when por-
ton of the town Ct Greenville was
submerged. The builder of the levee
in the future will have to take into
account the crawfsh as one OF his
most stubborn foes.

Evening shadows heightened grow,
Swing the cradle to and fro,

What's the drowsy baby thinking
With the eyelids downward sinking?
Through tho window stars are blinking
Down at baby slyly winking.
Save the pines upon the hill,
Save the sleepy, flowing rill,
Save the doleful whippoorwill,
All without is hushed and still.

Sweet blue flowers that shut at night,
Hiding all their color bright
Till the golden morning light.

HOW THEY CARRYTHEIR MONEY.

Il can tell you the business of six
men out of every ten who come in here,
and the social standing of all of them,
from the way they carry their money"
said Broadway ticket seller for one
of the Sound steamboat lines to re-
porter.
did you ever think how much of a
persons individuality is expressed in
his method of carrying his money?
see people every day get at their
change and have made study of it.
THAT man. said the ticket seller,
as an old gentleman who had pur-
chased a pasteboard good for trip to
Boston went out, lis retired banker
Did you notice he carries his money in
long morocco pocketbook That
pocketbook is always carried in the
inside pocket of his coat, on the right
side. 1t contains number of bright,
clean bills, all neatly smoothed and
laid out at full length and right side
up. He never folds bill, will ven

1.-THE young broker or wholesale
merchant carries his money in q small
case made of seal or lizard skin. He
folds the bills twice. His roll is never
large, but he has enough ON hand to
meet any emergency.
1.-The clubmen invariably carry
roll of clean five dollar bills in their
vest pocket, where they can be easily
reached. Some carry only gold. Jas.
Brown Potter favors gold, and usually
carries few quarter eagles in a small
silver case, into which the coins fit with
out rafting. Lispenard Stewart usu-
ally has a roll of new bills in his vest
pocket.
1.-THE man who comes in and fishes
from a deep trousers pocket lot of
one, two and five dollar bills that have
been twisted up like gun wadding |
always set down as a sporting gent.
1.-THE farmer ON an excursion to 'BoS-
ting counts up the price of ticket in
quarters and halves from tan colored
leather pouch that is tied up with a
string run through small Sits near the
top. The seafaring man on his way
! to his home on the Maine coast carries
the proceeds of his last trip in a calf
skin wallet. 1t has been handed down
from his father, or perhaps his grand
father, for it is black and shiny with
age 1t has long strap passed

The cross sections seldom have more
in them than tobacco dust or frayed
tax receipt that shows that he owns a

is a place where bills may be laid out
straight and covered with a calfsl>in
flap from either side.
"Thc man who carries change in his
coat pockets has been car conductor
at some time or other. The fellow
who draws ten cent pieces from every
pocket in his clothes is a peanut man
or vender of small wares.
1.-The women, too, have variety of
ways to carry their money, though
lack of pockets limits their vagaries in
that direction. The young woman
with fluffy hair, who has the price of
her ticket rolled tightly in her palm,
has a mysterious storage place for
money somewhere. When she is not
spending it she puts it where no man
will ever go after it, but the place is
