Pets Of English Regiments.

It may not be generally known that
there is special reason why the Royal
Welsh Fusiliers should have a goat
They are very ancient corps, and at an
early period of their existence it was the
custom to have goat with a shield and
garland on its horns to march at the
head Of the drums. Every LIST Of March
being the anniversary of their tutelary
saint, David, the officers used TO give an
entertainment, and after the cloth was
taken away bumper was filed around
to the Prince of Wales, and the goat,
richly caparisoned for the occasion, was
led thrice around the table in procession
by the drum major.
In 1884 the then regimental goat of
the Welsh Fusiliers died and her maj
esty presented the regiment with two of
lthe finest goats from fock-the gift of
the shah of Persian Windsor park,
and since that date the queen has con-
tinued to supply the Welsh Fusiliers
with goats as occasion required. The
pet of the Second battalion Derbyshire
regiment used to be a ram; that of the
Eighth Kings Royal Irish light dra-
goons, now hussars, horse; the Royal
Warwickshire had an antelope, the Ros-
shire Bluffs a deer and the Fifteenth
lancers tiger.-Pall Mall Gazette.

A 6-foot Yankee, seated upon load OF
brooms, drove his team up before the
door of an establishment where he ex-
pected to find purchaser Jumping
from his seat he entered the store and
the following colloquy took place:
Yankee-Can't l sell you load Of
brooms today, mister?
Dealer-No; don't want any.
Yapkee-Better take 'em-sell EN- dog
cheap.
Dealer-Don't want 'em; got enough
brooms.
Yankee-f'll tell you what I'll do. If
you'll take the lot I'll let 'em go for one
dollar dozen. You know they're with
double that.
The dealer stroked his chin for a mo-
ment, as if in deep thought, and then re-
piled:
"Well, l don't want any brooms, as
told you, but don't mind making a
trade with you"
Yankee-What sort of trade?
Dealer-Well, I'll take your whole load
at one dollar a dozen and pay you one
half cash, you to take the other half in
trade.
Yankee-No you don't mister! You'll
charge me such an all fired profit on the
other half that might come out at the
little end of the horn.
Dealer-Oh, no; promise you that
you shall have the goods just at what
they cost me.
Yankee-Wal, mister, that's what !
call square dealin. It's bargain
And he commenced TO unload the
brooms in pile on the sidewalk. When
he got through he walked into the store
"There you are, mister; fourteen
dozen, which I calcurlate makes Just
seven dollars comm TO me-"
Dealer-Yes. that's right; there's the
money. Now what goods do you want
for the other seven dollars?
Yankee-Wall, / dunno. You see,
mister, l hain't much posted in your
other truck, so guess III take brooms.

Inasmuch as the mugwump free
traders haye been trying desperately to
show that the Homestead riot was due
to the tariff, says the Democratic n.
Y. Sun, and inasmuch as the prices of
American steel billets and of imported
steel biiiets prove that the tariff has no
earthly connection with the affair
whatsoever, it appears that there re-
mains one way, and only one, within
the limitations of freedom, to prevent
such disasters in the future: Ex-
tinguish the steel billet industry!

There is an unfortunate relic Of sena-
torial greatness who hangs around the
Capitol during the winters. On one oc-
casion he applied to Senator Jones for
relief. "Say, Jones'" said he, lend me
fifty dollars, won't your I've got to go
home and l haven't the money. l can't
pay you till come back in six monthsY'
mo-" said Jones promptly, II won't
let you have fifty dollars for six months"

you what will do. Plllet you have 800
for twelve months if you'll stay away
that long" The wreck was tickled, and,
strange TO relate, turned up exactly
twelve months afterward to a day and
paid back the hundred. -Kate Fields

Money or q Living L?

ITO make money is one thing; to make
a living is better" says Edward Ever
EFT Hale at the close Of his paper in The
Cosmopolitan entitled, Making a Liv-
ing" 1t is a sort of sketch story, and
Is a charming bit of what one might
call realistic fiction. For fiction it is in
one sense, and realism it certainly is In
another.
Mr.. Hale supposes the case of a couple
that had to show for seventeen years of
married life six children and an income
from their savings of 800 year. The
older children were fifteen and thirteen,
with their clothes becoming more ex-
pensive and their appetites at the maxi
mum. The father earned 81 900 year
as bookkeeper, the mother economical
little more every year, with the result
that both lost their vim and elasticity Of
spirits, both were growing year by year
more anxious and careworn, so that the
cheerful air each invariably wore in the
others presence became more and more
manufactured sunshine"
At last, at the end of the seventeenth
year, the two heads held a family coun-
Gil and decided at one stroke TO win OF
lose all. He would resign his book
keepers place, they would rent one of
the little abandoned farms in New Eng
land and see if they could make the
children count in the struggle for liv-
ing, and do better for the children at
the same time. How they came out we
are to be told in the future. DIR. Hale
says the plan they chose is not what
some foolish people suppose it to be-s
panacea. OF all the masses of struggling
humanity that are driven to the wall in
cities, it Is his opinion that going to the
country and farming would be advan-
tageous to about two In hundred.
That is probably a very fair average.
The first thing generally that city peo-
pie who go on farm to better them.
selves and country people who 20 To
the city for a like purpose do is to break
themselves financially. They may on
may not succeed finally, according a.
they have perseverance and capacity 70,
learning new things.
But one argument DIR. Hale brings
forward for sending his fictitious family
into the country 10 make q living /,
that some Of the very states which ar,
supposed to contain the largest number
Of abandoned farms are the ones in
creasing most rapidly in population, and
that this increase is In the agricultural
districts. DIR. Hale tells the truth, too
only he does not mention that the rsa
son Of 1t Is that general farming ha.
been largely abandoned, and fruit
dairy and vegetable farming has takel
its place. By means Of these living
and a very happy one, can be made h

REFORMER WEAVER

Gen. ]. B. Weaver, the great reform
err, was brave soldier and persistent
office-holder and office-seekT after the
war was over. He was collector of in
ternal revenue for a number of years
and district attorney for quite while
and very loyal Republican. He
wanted nomination for Congress and
tried in vain in the Republican party,
but as the district was composed he
failed everytime, greatly to his annoy
ance, to get a nomination. He then be-
came candidate for nominated on the
Republican ticket for governor. He
failed again, and within a few months
thereafter he became reformer. He
has been in the reforming business ever
since. The trend of his reform ideas
has always been toward getting an
Office for the Hon. James B. In his
career as a reformer he has been for
prohibition, against prohibition and for
Il again. He has been a greenback
congressman, greenback candidate
for president, a Democratic congress
man and general manipulation Of DEM
ocratic politics in Iowa. and now he is
a Peoples party candidate for presi-
dent.
His principles are elastic, their
stretch is always in favor ofan Office
for himself He can conduct a prayer
meeting with great JUNCTION. He can
raise a roof in Temperance meeting
talking in favor Of prohibition, and
then turn around and work in the
lobby Of the legislature to defeat prohi-
bition, and corral his men and vote
them as he wanted to on the question
regardless of the pledges of the plat
form on which they were elected. He
is the very embodiment of the demo,
gogue.

Pumping Water by Sinhon.

1t was not an American-more's the
pity-but Frenchman who invented a
plan, ingenious in its very simplicity,
for supplying his household with water
from a small stream by taking advan-
tage Of the siphon principle The water
cannot of course be raised beyond thir-
ty-three feet, but that is high enough for
all purposes in a country establishment.
A large siphon thirty-three feet high Is
placed in water and set to drawing and
discharging the fluid in the usual man.
ner. But at the top, in the neck of the
siphon, is placed a receiving chamber
for the water, with valve which cut
It off from the vent pipe just as thai
pipe is filed and has begun to discharge
The water which Is thus caught in the
receiving chamber is carried by a pipe
TO q tank in the second story of the in
ventor's house and is there stored
whence IL can be used for domestic pur
poses OF for irrigating the garden anc
for watering live stock. OF course a sufh
Gent proportion must be maintained be
tween the upward and downward flow
or the siphon would stop acting. The
receiving chamber therefore does moi
cut off all the water that is sucked up
but sufficient quantity Is allowed tc
flow off to keep up the motion. When
the tank Is filed the siphon Is released
from further service. A third Of the
water raised by it Is drawn into the
house tank.
The idea is worth following up In this
country. Its practical adaptation Is so
cheap and simple that the wonder is no
body has thought of 1t before.

A Greek Statesman.

One of the most accomplished states
men in Europe is only slightly known TO
the world in general, because his Ian
guage is not commonly understood and
because his country is so little. This is
NJ. Tricoupis, in May chosen for the
sixth time to be prime minister of
Greece. Each time he has been brought
to the front at season Of great hnan-
cial difficulty for the kingdom, and each
time he has met and conquered.
NJ. Tricoupis is called by his own peo-
pie, "the Englishman," because he was
educated and lived many years in Great
Britain. This has made him cool headed
and deliberate in making up his mind,
as well as unswerving in his purpose
when once he has decided. He repre-
sents the conservative party Of Greece,
while his rival and enemy, Delyannis,
led the Pan-Hellenic party. The Pan
Hellenists are wild to fight and regain
all the ancient territory Of the kingdom;
"the Englishman" knows how to wait
and gain by diplomacy what he knows
can never be got by fighting, for Greece
is too weak to whip anybody. She
could give Turkey a good tussle, but
that the great powers will not let her
do. So wise M. Tricoupis gets Greece
out of debt, builds good roads, encour-
ages education and trade, and waits. If
the Greeks know enough to let him
alone he will do much for them.

The national parks around which will
cluster more Of historic interest than
any others are those which were battle
fields, particularly the battlefelds of the
late war. In course of time it is to be
hoped that all of the spots where the
great fights took place will be made into
national parks and kept sacred to the
memory of thrilling time. Chicka-
manga battlefield is now rapidly being
changed into the Chickamauga National
park. The aim will be, while making
it beautiful as park, to retain so far
as can be done the features of the spot
in war time.
