A BALACLAVA HERO.
Was In the Famous Charge with the
z ass Fourth Light Dragons.

Was In the Famous Charge with the
55s Fourth Light Dragons.
We regret to have to announce the
death of Sergeant Major J. e. Forbes,
which took place ut his residence in
Northumberland Road, Newcastle. Mr..
Forbes was one of the now small band
of survivors of the famous charge of the
Light brigade ut Balaclava. He was a
native Of Scotland and at an early age
joined the Fourth Light Dragons, now
the. Fourth Hussars. He went with his
regiment to the Crimea, and had a vivid
recollection of the terrible charge He
was slightly wounded in that mad on
slaught upon the Russian guns Oh the
heights of Balaclaya, and was there
taken prisoner. At the close of the war
he was exchanged along with number
of fellow prisoners. After he left the
regular forces Mr.. Forbes served with
the Westmoreland and Cumberland Yeo-
many for IA short term, joining the
Northumberland Hussars Immediately
afterward III the capacity of regimental
sergeant major. He was twice married,
I there being, we believe. strong eIe-
ment of romance in connection with his
first marriage.
The deceased gentleman, it may be
added, had been in ailing health since
April last, and for the first time for the
last thirty years was unable to be on
active duty with the Northumberland
Hussars at their annual training at the
beginning of August. At his urgent re-
quest, however, he was allowed by his
medical adviser to travel to the Moor in
Il closed carriage, and from this position
he watched the maneuvers of his regi-
ment. Since then he gradually sank,
and expired as stated at his residence
in his 10th year.-Newcastle Chronicle.

Took a FLYER.

The venerable and familiar moral tale
of the bad little boy who offered the
circus elephant a chew of tobacco is far
surpassed in ethical force by the new
and strictly truthful story of 11-year-old
Harry Manning of Waltham, Mass
Harry has been learning to smoke cigar
cites, and one afternoon about fort
night ago he was sitting on a barrel be-
hind Northrup's grocery practicing, when
he heard footsteps. Not caring to smoke
III company, he politely dropped his light
ed cigarette into the bunghole of the
barrel on which he sat. The state
ntent is that when the moral elephant
in the other story received the chew of
tobacco he seized Tommy, the evil-doer.
by the coat collar with the thumb and
finger of his trunk, and threw him harsh
~ out through the roof of the circus
tent. The event in Harry's case was
still more precipitous and surprising.
The barrel he sat on had contained
naphtha, and rejected the lighted ciGar-
cite with an instantaneous burst of emo
ton which sundered it's hoops and gave
Harry all the symptoms experienced by
the boy who stood OH the burning deck

Harry came down i'll the same township
in which he went up, and was identified.

another time he will drop his hose into
an empty barrel before he drops his
cigarette into it.--Harper's Weekly.

O.. Since then it has been using between
800 and 1900 tons of roots per day,
which yielded close upon 100000 pounds
of graduated sugar every twenty-four
hours. The beets are taken from the 300
farmers on the great plantation, TOPPED
and hauled to the factory, and are then
dumped into mammoth receiving trays.
From these they are conveyed to a fume.
where they are partially cleaned as they
are hoisted by screw elevator. Taken
to the second floor, they are thoroughly
washed and thrown into slicing machines.
where they are cut into strips from two
to four inches in length. They then pass
through sleeping process. by which
every particle of sweetness is extracted
and the water drawn off. A thick syrup
is all that IL left and this is treated with

the lime being extracted the graduated
sugar remains.

New YORK CentraI's Carwheels.

1t perhaps is not generally known to the
travelling public that most Of the wheels
used OH railroad coaches OIL the Central
railroad are made in Germany. Some
English and American wheels are in use,
but for the heavy coaches and sleepers
the German wheels are generally used.
These wheels are manufactured at Essen
by Krupp, the great ironmaster and
maker of big guns. The standard size is
SO inches in diameter, although many SO
inches in diameter are in use. The Ger
man wheel differs from the English wheel
in that the body of the wheels is of solid
iron, while the English wheel has short
spokes. There are fewer bolts in the Ger
man wheel than in others, and therefore
less chance for anything to shake loose.
The strain on a car wheel is something
tremendous. Formerly they were made
entirely of east iron. They were liable to
crack easily, and the rims wore rapidly.
All frst-class car wheels are now made
with a solid steel tire nearly two inches
thick. 1t stands the friction of the rails
for long time. In straight running the
