A RalakIavr Warrior

There has recently died in London, In
the person of Trumpet Major Henry Joy,
late of the Seventeenth Lancers, another
of the small band of heroes who took
part in the famous Balaklava charge and
afterward lived to tell the tale. To Joy
belonged the honor of sounding the or
der for the heroic charge. He entered
the army on May IS, 1888, joining the
Seventeenth Lancers as boy in the
band, serving in the same regiment %
years. He was appointed trumpet major
on Sept. %, 1S47, and was present at the
head of the band at the funeral of the
Iron Duke.
On the outbreak of the Crimean war
he sailed with the regiment for the Black
sea and was present at the battles of the
Alma, Balaklava, Inkerman and Sevasto-
pool. He received testimonial from
General the Earl of Lucan, commanding
the cavalry brigades in the Crimea. in
which it states that Trumpet Major Joy
was his trumpeter on the day of Bala-
klava. In letter from Sir George Womb
well (who was present at Balaklava),
written only a few days ago, occurs the
words, ~ heard him (Joy) sound the
order for the Balaklava charge" joys
bugle is in possession of his family at
the present time. AT Balaklava he had
two horses shot under him and came
out of the fight mounted on Russian
horse.-London Million.

The Syringe and the Pipe.

From western point of view there IS
one great drawback to opium smoking
it takes too much time. Western hurry
seems, however, to be gradually per-
meating even the vices of the east, and
now the morphine syringe rivals the OPT
um pipe, if we may believe report
which reaches US from Hong Kong. The
practice has been known for some time
in Shanghai, and some six months agoit
was brought to Hong Kong. where there
are now some 20 houses in which regu-
lar trade in it is openly carried on. Each
house has on an average so clients, who
call in the morning and the evening and
take their doze.
An injection is much cheaper than
smoke, and primarily, no doubt, that is
the reason of it's rapid popularity. Curl
ously enough, the pretense is that it is
used as cure for the vice of opium smok-
ing, to which, however, it would seem to
have about the same relation as a whisky
bar has to beer saloon. The immedi-
ate happiness of an injection, which can
be had without the loss of time, the pub
lie exposure or the loathsome associa-
lions of the opium den, is far more dan
gerous temptation than-the more slowly
acting and more expensive pipe. Truly
in this matter John Chinaman is jump
ing out of the frying pan into the fire.

MarIe Antoinette's Main Refuge.

There is building In Edgecomb, an
old square, white house, concerning
which an interesting story is told. This
tradition is that at the time Of the French
revolution Captain Samuel Clough, the
owner of the house, who sailed ship
between Maine and France, was engaged
to bring to this country no less valuable
treasure than the unfortunate Queen
Marie Antoinette, and that quantities OF
rich stufs, furniture and silver were
put aboard his ship for the use of the
exile, whose destination was to have been
this same house, which then stood in
Westport, it having been removed to the
mainland on raft 80 years ago. 1t Is
yet occupied by Captain Coughs de-
scendants.
One circumstance which lends con-
firmation to the story is that similar
legend attaches to a house in Dorchester,
Mass, the famous Swan mansion, then
owned by Colonel Swan, who spent
much of his time in Paris, but who set
tied permanently in this country after
the French revolution, his house being
adorned in princely fashion. Now, Cap
tain Clough and Colonel Swan had mon
ey dealings together in Paris, Captain
Clough in 1904 having had contract to
purchase 5000 worth of lumber for the
colonel. What more likely than that
Colonel Swan, who was warm friend
Of Lafayette, should have engaged the
Maine captain to aid him in plan Of
such great Importance as the attempted
rescue of the French queen, with which
he is credited?-Lewiston Journal.

rhronrh the nIeteor Zone.

One distinguishing feature Of Novem-
Der is the plunge the earth takes through
the meteor zone. This zone is an i'm
mense ellipse, containing an innumera-
BILE number of meteors, which make a
revolution in about SO years. The earth
on ordinary years does not encounter the
great shoal or swarm, but every 3S years
she passes through the midst of it, and
there is superb display of celestial pyr-
otechnics. The meteors are spreading
far ard wide through the zone or ring,
and this seems to indicate that in the
distant future they will fill every por-
ton Of 1t. When this takes place, the
showers will be more nearly equalized-
that is, there will be larger showers
every year, while the grand display will
diminish. Chicago Herald.

Didn't Know the Governor.

A distinguished person of modest ap-
pearance called at one of our public in

ness. He was admitted by the lady in

piled, and soon all due official recogni-
ton was rendered. Hartford Courant.

Cost Of ,sAtish Defenses.

The British empire spends, as rule,
upon defense from $3.50, 900, 900 to $780,
100000 year, of which the military ex-
penditure of India, with the indirect ex-
penditure FOR the sake of India on the
mobile land forces at home, forms the
largest item. Almost the whole of this
vast sum is expended out of British loans
or taxes under the control of the parlia-
ment of the United Kingdom, and out
of India taxes under the indirect control
of the house Of commons through the
secretary of state, who is q member Of
the government of the day. North

The Status of Cotton.

In 1887 there was $5,414, 400 invested
In cotton mills in the Palmetto state.
Today there is probably $12,oOO,Oo0 IN
vested.
Capital has been freely invested in cot
ton mills and with very rare exceptions
has proved to be the highest class of in
vestment. The day of cotton mills has
come, and the increase is growing as
steadily as the people of the state are be-
coming convinced that the cotton ought
to be manufactured where it is grown.
If the present pace be kept up, it will
not be long before there will be cotton
mill in every county. Figures, however,
speak louder than anything else, and the
remarkable growth of the cotton mill
industry in recent years is shown by the
following record of capital invested:
