ENGLISH HOUSEHOLD TROOPS
Regiments That Date Their E,,.,
lAshnsnt from the Time
OF Charles II.

The privileges of the houssbols
troops, which are now being called
into question, date from the estab-
lishment Of the regiments from
Charles IL, according to the London
Chronicle. A fortnight before his
coming from Holland he selected IN
cavalier gentlemen, and formed them
into q corps Of life guards, under
Lord Gerard. Increased to 600 men.
they formed the kings bodyguarJ
and escorted him into his own again
Parliament disbanded the Irouside
army, but an outburst Of fifth mon
archy fanatics in January, 1861. af-
forded Charles a pretext for main
tanning troops for his personal pro-
lection. Out Of Monks disbanded
army the king increased the life
guard by 500 men, raised a regiment
of foot guards, transformed the Cold
stream regiments into a second corps
of foot guards, and converted troops
of Cromwellian cavalry into royal
horse guards. The Third regiment
of foot guards was established in
1713, in honor of the union with
Scotland. The earl of Linlithgow's
fusihers were brought to London and
into SCOTS guards"
These five regiments formed the nu-
cleus of the British army.

MarvsIOas sDsoimsa Recently Ae-
CURED ~ the Americas Museum
% Natural History.

A rare and remarkable curiosity IN
the shape of the largest egg In the
world Is now on exhibition in Bird
hall Of the American museum Of
natural history. The egg belonged
20 q gigantic extinct bird, called the
aepyornis, formerly inhabiting the
wilds Of the Island Of Madagascar.
This huge member Of the bird king
dom, for some unknown reason, was
exterminated in comparatively recent
times, and nothing but its fossil eggs
and fragmentary remains OF the
skeleton can be found.
From the length and size Of the
limbs and feet the birds are said by
scientists TO have been probably twice
or three times the height Of an os-
trich, Of which they are supposed to
be a distinct group. They were pow
erful and ever dangerous creatures to
human life. It is related that they
carried on cattle and sheep and the
white inhabitants had to walk about
with tame tigers TO guard and pro-
tect themselves from their attack
The extraordinary size Of the egg,
which Is nearly a foot long by ten
inches in diameter, Is wildly shown
by comparison with a hens egg'
which seems nothing but a mere
speck in comparison.
Nearly half a hundred hen eggs
could be packed inside, says the New
York Commercial-Advertiser. Only
a few perfect eggs have been found.
They command a high price, owing |
to their scarcity, averaging from
800 to $500 a piece.

Mosquitoes are known TO live

others only IN the larval state, and
some in the egg. Many larvae survive

QUEER KIND OF THEFT.
Mexican HoteI-Keeper Tapped Flee
trIe Light Company Cable
TO Save Cost.

Ahotel keeper in the City Of Mexico
whose place was always brilliantly
lighted by electric lamps, apparently
without regard to cost, has recently
been convicted by a local judge for
stealing from the electric light CON-
pany the current with which his hos
telry was lighted. He was con-
demned TO a years imprisonment and
a fine of 1870, and, as an additional
penalty, was disqualified for all kinds
Of public honors and emplOyments, y
reports the Chicago Chronicle.
The landlord who attempted to
evade the electric cOmpany's charges
wired his house and made a connection
with the eOmpany's cables, with the
intention, as he pleaded, Of calling at
the Office Of the company and explain
ing the matter at a later day. he also
declared that he had used the cur
rent fur -only a month" The COM
Pany had its suspicious aroused and
applied to the court for authority to
make an examination Of the hotel
lighting system, which was granted,
with the result Of revealing the
fraud. The legal point of interest in
volved in the case hinged upon the
definition of the word robbery"
which the district code thus eluci-
dates: He commits robbery who
possesses himself Of a movable thing
belonging 70 another, without right
and without the consent Of the per
son entitled BY law TO dispose ofit.n

PLACE
 AT 3 IN MORNING.
Day Reporter Doing Night Work Sees many Things-Poiice on Lonely Beat and Rumble oI Milk Wagon Only Objects in Sight.

Exchange place was a quiet spot at being in sight as the clock tolled the hour being the stalwart form of SAr- geant John T. Pagan of the police de- partment as he walked down Bank milk wagons over the granite dimen- sion block pavement was heard, and from that time on things were little livelier. Have you ever heard a milk wagon roll over the paving blocks ill the stiffness of the night? If not you cannot fully appreciate the logic of the alderman who declared that public officials who pave streets abutting upon land occupied by houses in which hu- man being asleep with granite blocks or 'cobble stones should be tarred and feathered and driven out of town by the people they had sought to torture.
 The millImen are rollicking fellows and seem to take delight in the music of their cans as it chimes with the melody played upon the rocks by their horses h0Ofs and the wheels of their wagons. A few fellows hang around the all night cafes until jolly daylight and once in while a man comes around the corner with a dinner pail in his hand and hurries along as if he had but few moments to reach his place of employment The weather was pleasant the whole night long, much more so than during the day time yesterday. so that after all there may be some truth in the words of the poet that the best way to lengthen ones'Snays is to steal a few hours from the night. People who retire at 8 or 9 o'clock evenings don't know half what's going on in the world and it is a good thing for them that they are grossly ignorant of many happen ings that occur when they are tucked away in their beds.

 HAS MADE A CONFESSION.
And Seventeen Former City Officials Are inl For TroubIe---The Scheme was to Supply
 the City with Water from Lake Michigan

Grand Rapids, Mich, Nov 21.-War-. rants were issued to-day for seventeen former city officials charging them with accepting a bribe in connection with the famous Garman- Cameron scheme for supplying the city with water from Lake Michigan. All of the warrants are the result of the confession made hy former City Attorney Lant K.

Those indicted were. former Mayor George R. Perry. State Senator David Burns, Corey F. BisscIis former member of the board of public works, and fourteen eZ-:,ldrrmen.
 ,,Revelations in the service of the war rant show that the, common council was controlled during the attempt to put through the water scheme with the fourteen votes which included botlT democrats and republicans. The alder men are charged with having received, $500 to $500 each. Mayor Perrys share, it is charged in the warrant was
 $3,333, and Corey P. Bissell charged with receiving $500 while State Sena ! tor Burns is alleged to have received $20O for his support.
 Ex-MaT>r Perry and Senator Burns surrendered tos the police to-day.
 Ex-Alderman Ghysels after hearing the complaint at his arraignment, ad- mitted to Judge Haggerty that he took $500 EX-Mayor Perry demanded an examination which was set down for, November 23. All the other alleged conspirators. with the exception o6 two were arraigned during the dayJ and their examinations set for r'1-- vember 30
