A Hero Of Balaklava.

Barney McKernan, who was proba-
bly, the only survivor Of the Light Bri-
cape in this country, died Sunday
night, aged 20 years, at his home in
I Phenixville, Pa. Just before breath
ing his last he spoke to his daughter.
"Bring me my medals, Annie" he
said; ''let me die with my medals on
my breast. Quick, girlp' She brought
the medals, both Of silver, one given to
him by the Queen Of England and the
other by the Sultan Of Turkey. Taking
the medals preciously in his hands, he
laid them side by side on his breast,
one hand holding them safely. In a
few moments he was dead, with the
honor pieces in the same places where
they had been pinned years ago.
The veteran was born i'm Lathram,
West Ireland, and when II years Of
age he became possessed with desire
for a military life. Running away
from his home, he joined the Seven
teenth Laneers, then stationed at Maid
stone, England, April p, 1916. The
lancers were soon ordered To India to
put down the Sikh rebellion. He
reach Bombay, then marched across
the plains of India with his command,
and in few weeks joined Sir Hugh
Guelph's army at Muldan. He spent
nearly three years IA the Indian ser
vice, was in Il engagements and re-
ceived two bad wounds.
After the rebellion was put down he
sailed with his regiment for England,
arriving at Houndslow in the fall of
1919. From HOundslow he went TO the
cathedral town Of Canterbury, where
he was stationed for short time. The
Crimean war soon broke out, and in
1854 the laneers sailed for SebastopOl,
where they arrived early in the fall of
the same year.
His regiment joined the Light Bri-
gade, now famous in history and song,
in command of the Earl OF Cardigan.
IL was at the battle of Balaklava that
a misunderstanding Of orders sent the
dashing brigade to capture the Russian
guns. On the charge the veteran leap
ed from his mount, and bleeding from
a number of wounds and removing
Captain Nolan from under his dying
horse, lifted his head onto his lap,
where he breaihed his last.
After the retreat McKernan was re-
moved to the hospital, where he lay
for some time, and it was while he was
recovering that he met Florence Night
ingale and heard her sing. After he
left the hospital he was in the terrible
battles of Alma and Inkermann and
was also at the taking of the Malakoff
and the great Redun.
Barney MeKernan lived in Phenix-
vile for many years.and was visited by
hundreds of people anxious to see a
survivor Of the Light Brigade, and in
late years he was employed as watch
man by the Phoenix Iron Company
and his little watch box has been the
scene Of many an interesting group.
He never received pension for his
bravery, but he cherished his medals
above everything else and always took
great pride in showing them to his
friends and to strangers.

Cultivate the habit Of breathing
through the nose and taking deep
breaths. If this habit was universal,
there is little doubt that pulmonary
affections would be decreased oue-half.
An English physician calls attention
to this fact, that deep and forced respi-
rations will keep the entire body in a
glow in the coldest weather, no matter
how thinly one may be clad. He was
himself half frozen To death one night,
and began taking deep breaths, keep
ing the air in his lungs as long a. pos
sib,e. The result was that he was
thoroughly comfortable in few min
utes. The deep respirations, he says
stimulate the blood current by direct
muscular action and cause the entire
system to become pervaded with the
rapidly-generated heat.

Mrs. Ernest Hart, herself 4 physi-
clan of eminence, who accompanied
her husband, the distinguished editor
of the British Medical Journal, in his
recent trip around the world, appears
to come to the conclusion that meat
eating is bad for the temper. She says
that in no country is home rendered so
unhappy and life made so miserable by
the i'll temper of those who are obliged
to live together rs in England. "If
We compare domestic life and manners
in England with those of countries
where meat does not form such an in
tegral article of diet, a notable improve
ment will be marked. In less meat
eating France, urbanity is the rule of
the home; in fish and rice-eating Japan
harsh words are unknown and an ex-
elusive politeness to one another pre-
walls, even among the children who
play together in the streets. In Japan
never heard rude, angry words spoken
by any but Englishmen. lam strong
ly of the opinion tina. the i'll temper
of the English is caused in measure
by too abundant meat diet, combined
with a sedentary life. The half-oxidiz-
ed products of albumen circulating in
the blood produced both mental and
moral disturbances. The healthful
thing to do is to lead an active and un-
selfish life, on a moderate diet, suffi-
cient to maintain strength and not in
crease weight.
