HERE AND There.

The conversation had shifted from n
topic to another until the group Of old
citizens reclining upon the curb at the
postomcc corner. fell to discussing the
strange fatalities that had been their
lots 10 witness. As the evening wore
on, they sat in the shadows Of the big
building, their conversation only being
interrupted by the occasional passing
OF some Baltimore & Ohio ears along
Sixteenth street. They had seen many
strange things Ia their time, these old
inhabitants, and across their many
years tralled sad recollections OF loved
ones cut on by the hand Of fate. Some
had been in railway accidents, others
had narrow escapes from fires, and
those whose lives had been free from
misirlps had IN some time or another.

Groups Of Animals.

The following is a list of the
terms which have been applied to
the various groups of birds, ami
mails, and fish. A covey of par
tridges. a hide of pheasants, a
wisp of snipe, a flight of doves or
swallows, a muster of peacocks, a
siege of herrons, a building of
rocks, a brood of grouse, a stand
of plover, a watch of nightin-
gales, a Gathering of cloughs, a
herd or bunch of cattle, a flock of
geese, a bevy of quails, a cast of
hawks, a swarm of bees, a school
of whales, a shoal of behring's, a
herd of swine, a skulk of foxes, a
pack of wolves, a drove of oxen,
a sounder of hogs, a troop of
monkeys, a pride of lions, a sleuth
of bears, a gang of elk. When it
comes to the unfeathcred biped
man, the number of English words
dcnoting a party or aggregation of
men probably equals that of all
the inferior groups put together.
Thus a mob, gang, crowd, crew,
company, army, host, party, mess,
etc.

American Educational In
situations.

1t is certainly something of a
tribute to American educational
institutions and scholars that
when, some years ago, a graduate
OF Harvard went to Oxford and
applied for admittance there to
make a special study of Shake
spcare for a year, he was told:
go back to Harvard and Prot.
Child. They can teach you far
more there than we can here" Ii
seems, however, that this opinion
had been expressed before, even
at a time when Harvard and
American colleges had not nearly
attained their present standard,
for the elder Edward Everett, in a
letter dated as far back as 1918,
said, writing from Oxford: 81 have
been over two months in England
and am now visiting Oxford, hav-
ing passed a week in Cambridge.
There is more teaching and learn
ing in III American Cambridge
than there is in both the English
universities together, though be-
tween them they have four times
our number of students. "-New
York Tribune.

some things that improve with
age, but fruits and vegetables are
not of the lumber.
Looking the matter from a
purely commercial standpoint, it
is certainly absurd to pay out hard
cash for those things that can be
raised at home with small, if any
extra outlay of labor or capital.
Then as a matter of relish, who
that ever tasted such articles as
celery, radishes, tomatoes and
strawberries, picked an hour be-
fore tea time from the home gar
den, would not sigh like a defeat
ed candidate after election, when
regaling himself on the foreign,
fusty, canned article, or on the i'm
ported air-blown radish and tony,
wilted celery2
Not to take quality into consid-
Grafton, the producer, in his gar
den, or on the farm, has the adj
vantage also OF obtaining such
goods at real cost price. Select
berries and vegetables could be
raised by the bushel on every
farm, in the numerousodd corners
thatare useless for other purposes,
and a few flower seeds, scat
tered thoughtfully by the walk or
near the door, would always con-
tribute at least a little toward re-
moving the hardships in the stern
and lonely lives of the women
folk. Home would be the better
and the happier for these atten-
tions, Perhaps the farmer is wise
in his disregard for such trihes,
and perhaps there is still just a
trace of hay seed in the nap OF
his upper sail. am strongly in
clined TO the latter view.

Fruits and Vegetables.

There is perhaps not one family
in the United States that does no,
use fruits and vegetables in some
form. How many grow their own?
Perhaps not one in a thousand;
but the number is not known, and
there is no way of getting at the
truth. 1t is a fact, however, that
many who have ample opportuni-
ty and facilities do not grow any,
and some of those who raise both
in large quantity and of excellent
quality are known TO sell all thew
produce, and purchase the cheap
er canned goods for home con
sumption. A more ~senseless pro-
ceeding is hardly conceivable.
Prefer canned goods of ancient
lineage to the crisp and iuicy
fruits and vegetables fresh from
the fields and garden! Preposter-
Gus; let me have the latter every
day and all the time. There are

death back from the mouth Of
he'll. all that was left of them, left
of six hundred" and lived to hear
such plaudits as even hero-wor-
shipping Albion rarely gives to
her sons.
Captain Nolan was among the
killed. Where he obtained his
orders will never be known from
him. There was, truly, a good
deal confusion in Lord Raglan's
army. Just a month before his
troops had landed at Balaklava
and had compelled the Russian
| garrison to surrender. October
2sth the Russians, re-enforced,
attacked him and his Turkish al
lies, and carried four redoubts,
capturing eleven guns. Lord
Raglan had hurled his Highland
ers and his heavy brigade of cav
airy against them, and eventually
compelled them to retire.
The charge of the light brigade
was but an incident in the battle.
Nothing depended on it, and
nothing was accomplished by it.
In the confusion of issuing many
commands he may have ordered
an attack by Cardigan on the
posted Russian battery. Oxford
Lucan may have done the same
thing. Neither would ever adj
NIT it.
How many Russians fell in that
charge which cost the English $50
out of GOO men, will never be
known. But it is probable they
suffered less than did Cardigans
command. The notable thing
about it is that the English SOL
der proved his obedience to or
ders. Although they knew "some
one had Numbered it was not
theirs to treason why, theirs but
to do and die"
Lord Cardigan had been re-
lIeved of his command twice since
his entry into the English militia
ry service. He was the most ex-
acting officer in the army. He
had fought a duel with a subal-
tern, killed him, and stood trial
before the house of lords, where
he was acquitted. He may not
have been liked, but he was
obeyed. And no brigade in the
army vas so nearly perfect in APP
pearanCe and department, and
nom approached it in discipline.
He was a rich man, and when Civ
en- the command Lord Cardigan
spent a great deal of money in its
equipment. The horses were his
own personal selection, and every
detail of equipment was scrutin-
lied with eXacting care. He re-
tired from the army in 1858 an
honorcd man, and died ten years
later. He was twice married, but
left no child, and his estates
passed to the Marquis of Allies
bury, the successor to whose title
and fortune was recently in Chi
cago. l.. A.

Resources OF Genius.

AT a suburban church social not
long ago each person was required
to wear conspicuously upon MS or
her clothing some pictorial or
other device that should represent
in "rebus' form the title of any
well-known book, and all the 9TH
ers were to guess at the book in
tended. "A prize was to be given
for the most ingenious of these
devices.
Paradise Lost" represented by
a card upon which FIVE dice had
been pasted. and from which two
had evidently dropped or been re-
moved, was easily guessed. Hard

was it hard to recognize "A Pair
of Blue Eyes "Innocents

pictorial DISCUSSES.
One of the guests, e had
a poser. Attached to one of the
buttons of his coat was a card
bearing simply the inscription:

Every one at last gave it up,and
asked for the solution.

He turned the card over. 1t
