A splendid charge of the Twenty.
first Lancers has been singled out for
special praise, by universal consent;
and with excellent reason, because, to
speak truth quite plainly, it was q
conspicuous demonstration of pure
bravery on day which gave the hon.
ors, SO far as courage alone is con.
sidered, aside from achievement and
organization and equipment, to the
barbarials. The Dervishes got twelve
or fifteen thousand of themselves
killed, and never finched; again and
again, from sunrise to high noon, they
charged with mounting fervor; not
upon an enemy that they had fair
prospect of routing-no, but upon
Death itself made visible. The Twen.
ty-first Lancers, however, when they
were caught in position for which
neither rule nor plan provided, did
develop an instructive Joy in an un-
equal fight for the fights own sake-a
courage like Beowulf's. They also
could be savages at pinch.
The orders to Colonel Martin, who
commanded the regiment, were to pre-
vent the Dervishes from returning to
the city. Now, in their zeal, they
fixed their attention upon small body
of the enemy, about three hundred,
and overlooked three thousand hidden
in ravine. Riding ahead so intently,
they rode straight into the ambush.
1t was not then a question of turning
the Dervishes: they must get back
themselves: they must go through.
And so they did, plunging, slashing,
thrusting till lances broke, shooting
employing every trick of horsepan-
ship, using every,,weapon, laying about
them with bent sword or stump OF
lance-until they got through.
And then they wanted to go back
and through once more. Harper.

Stitching q Lions Tail.

Some of the animals in the Zoo in
Glasgow have, it seems, recently had
mishaps and have had to be patched up.
During the settlement of certain small
differences with one of his fellows O
lion had the misfortune to have his
tail badly torn, and DIR. J. Mccall, of
the Royal Veterinary College, was
called "a. The legs of the lion were
secured, and the tail was put between
the bars of the cage, SO that the sur
geon could perform the necessary op-
Grafton from the outside. Eight
stitches were put in, and the tail was
then bandaged. DR.. Mccall has also
had to attend to the baby elephant,
who, in some mysterious fashion, had
broken its leg. The animal was put
in sling, splints were applied to the
broken limb and Baby" is now on the
way to recovery.--NewY York Herald.

BIG POWER IN LITTLE WATER.
A Little Brook Can BE Made to Give Up
Light and Power.

The ease with which small streams
of water can be turned to account for
supplying electric light and power is
well illustrated in an installation
which has been completed at sani-
tarium in the heart of the Sullivan
County Mountains, where saving in
fuel would naturally be of exception
able desirability. A brook which
flows through the property is part Of
the headwaters of the Delaware River.
1t has fall of seventy feet on the es-
tate, but it is at best an exceedingly
small stream. In order to get tho
water storage it was necessary to build
a dam 250 feet across and twenty feet
high. This made a basin of mile in
area, and holds water enough to run
the entire plant fifty two days without
rain. The dam was built entirely of
stone hewn on the site. The sanitar-
ium consists of six large frame build
ings, built on various hills, and in
cluded in a radius of half mile. Not
only are these buildings generously
lighted within, but the grounds and
works are studded with 100-h hour long
burning arcs, and the tourist coming
suddenly on this distant mountain
nook could imagine him mself in city
suburb. The plant is running so sue
cessfully that it would seem worth the
while of any large institution OF others
requiring light and power to lnvesti-
gate any water power-no matter how
unpretentious-in the vicinity. Such
should, with ordinary management,
very quickly pay for itself in the saw
ing Of fuel and other advantages.

Had Fun With q Landsman.

The sailor man, when in deep
water, cannot conceal the feeling of
superiority with which he regards the
untarred landlubber. Some of the
non. .combatants who sailed the Gulf
and the Caribbean during the war
learned to keep an eye on the
mariners, and others gained painful
experience before they got their sea
legs.
An artist who boarded grimy tug
boat clad in white linen found his
coat covered with coal dust when he
was day from port and decided to
wash it. He filled bucket with sea
water and fell to work. When he
had scrubbed the garment for twenty
minutes he was satisfied.
Then it occurred to him to search
the coat pockets. He did SO, and
pulled out-his gold watch.
He was perturbed. The crew
laughed and he rebuked them. They
bided their time. Then one of them
told the artist that the proper way to
restore the coat to its normal color
was to tie line to it, heave it over
board and tow it for few hours. The
artist did SO.
When he went below deck hand
hauled the coat aboard, united the
line and hiding the coat made fast @
ragged piece of white duck and threw
it overheard.
When the owner of the coat pulled
in his line he was the angriest man on
the tug And he didn't know just
how to accept deck hands glibly
made explanation, which was that q
shark had seized the coat, until the
garment was restored to him.-New

Queen Victorias journeys are very

with her is allotted a definite place,

queens visits there amounting to
about $4,000.
Women are keenly competing with
men in art and professional life in
America, as is shown by recent statis-
tics. In the United States there are
1000 actresses and $4,000 woman vo-
calists and instrumentalists; 1000 are

$500 who are engaged in literary work

A HAPPY DEATH.
Last Triumph Which Game to the Dying

The funny man, whose business it
was to construct the weekly page of
Jokes for the Sunday Yell, lay on a
hospital cot swathed in bandages, re-
lates the Cincinnati Enquirer.
He was not long for this earth.
Early that morning he had tried con-
clusion with the front end of an elec-
trio car, with the usual results. The
funny mans lips moved and he NUT
tered incoherently. A hospital in
terne stepped softly to the side of the
sufferers cot and bent his head for
ward to listen.
L care not to live," murmured the
iokist. ''The one light in my dreary
existence went out last week when
my precious one passed away from
this earth.'
"Yes?" said the young surgeon in
terrogatively.
'She is dead," continued the dying
man. "During her lifetime we lived
together at the same boarding house.
She did society for the Yell and wrote
poetry for the Sunday issue, which
effusions she signed Iolanthe. !
called her 10 for brevity."
"Indeed?" said the surgeon softly.
"Last week." went on the profes-
sional jokist, "she attended wedding
in cold, damp church, wrote an ac-
count Of the ceremony for the Yell,
came home and was taken ill. Two
days later she died and left me in

The surgeon, visibly affected by the
sufferers tale, could but restrain his
own emotion.

dying mans ear. ''What did 10

brief instant in the jokors fast dim
