open, admitted two enormous animals

Both of them made at once for my

Pets of English nol:imsnts.

1t may not be generally known that
there is special reason why the Royal
Welsh Fusiliers should have a goat.
They are a very ancient corps, and at an
early period of their existence it was the
custom to have goat with 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 a bumper was filled 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 mai
esty presented the regiment with two of
the 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

A BROOM sneonIntIon.

A 6-foot Yankee, seated upon load Of
brooms, drove his team mp 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-Cant / sell you a load Of
brooms today, mister?
Dealer--No; don't want any.
Yankee-Better take em--sell em dog
cheap.
Dealer-Don't want EN-; got enough
brooms.
Yankee-I'll tell you what I'll do. II
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 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-W sort of trade?
Dealer-Well, I'll take your whole load
at one dollar 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--Wall, 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 | calcurlate makes just
seven dollars comm to me-" E.
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, / hain't much posted in your
other truck, SO guess I'll take brooms.

The transition Of Electrical theories.

The Transition of Electrical Theories.
To the question, What is electricity
which is often asked, no absolute and
satisfactory answer has yet been found.
Notwithstanding the wonderful develop
ment of electrical applications, cleo
tricians are still feeling their way as to
the nature and many of the principles
of the operation of the mighty force that
they are learning to control. This was
suggestively shown by a remark made
by the vice president of the American
institute of electrical engineers at the
annual convention of that body.
The speaker claimed that the present
theories of electricity should be regard
ed merely as stepping stones to more
comprehensive and satisfactory ones.
He commended that modern theories OF
electrical phenomena, If adopted as an
absolute framework Of all our knowl-
edge Of these subjects, may, in few
years, become prison bars that will pre-
vent the mind from making a free and
unprejudiced investigation of new theo-
ries and new phenomena. and giving
due weight and significance In the gen.
eral science of electricity to the results
obtained by the most recent experiment.
