English Household Troops.

The privileges of the household
troops. which are 10 being called
into question, date from the establish
ment of the regiments from Charles
H., according TO the London Chronicle.
A fortnight before his coming from
Holland he selected eighty cavalier
gentlemen and formed them into a
corps of life guards under Lord Ger
ard. Increased to 600 men, they formed
the kings bodyguard and escorted him
into his W again.
Parliament ~disbanded the Ironslde
army, but an outburst OF fifth mon
archy fanatics in January, 1861. af-
forded Charles a pretext for maintain
Ing troops for his personal protection.
Out of Monks disbanded army the
king increased the life guard by 500
men, raised a regiment of foot guards,
transformed the Coldstream 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 os-
tablIshed In 1713, In honor of the
union with Scotland. The earl OF Lin
lithgow's fuslliers were brought TO
London aud converted into SCOTS
guards" These five regiments formed
the nucleus OF the British army.

When, In 1868. that great single la
Dor power, the Brotherhood of Locomo-

II of the foremost and most radical
leaders in the movement. Afterward
he did much toward making 1t what it
now is, the strongest and most con

when clothed with power, he reeoe-

Ih~the northern Caucasus nearly half
the death-rate of the Inhabitants Is
caused by vendetta, and at least three
fourths OF the vendetta cases are the
result of a curious marriage custom
which Is now decimating the popula-
ton. The native of those parts who
wishes to take unto himself a wife

simple off-hand manner in vogue In
western Europe by popping the ques-

longings, and buy her fairly and

ing from $175 10 $1,000. This is a
costly custom In many wages, for ii is
not every young man who can afford
TO invest such a large sum In a wife,
however accomplished. What general
ly happens in such ca. es is that the in.
dlgent candidate for the order of Bene.

What too often follows then may be
gathered from a case in point which
has just taken place in Sosslambek
Bokayeff Is the b~ridegroom's name
and Neshkho that of the girl of sweet
sixteen who had the misfortune to fine
favor in his eyes. His pockets being
empty he persuaded three comrades t.
kidnap the maid, whom he then tool
off to another village as his wife.
But her father. on discovering he
whereabouts, had her sent back by tn,
police, and then demanded $3.50 for los
of her services, as we should say. 30

made. would not or could not pay. Tn
girls father thereupon claimed tina
sum from the b~ridegroom's compan

mitted the justice of his claim and cal

horses and raced with the flood to
warn people down the valley Of their
grave peril, telling them to flee for
their lives. Matloek tries to make
little of his heroic deed, but several
hundred people, who owe their lives
to his timely warning, insist upon tell

Matlock is the son of Del. Matlock,

young man was sitting on the steps of

he boarded. With him were several
companions, among whom was Bruce
Kelly, his companion on the ride.
When the storm commenced they all
went up on the veranda to watch its
progress. The thunder rolled inces-
sanity and a violent hailstorm came
up. Suddenly as they watched there
came a great roar and Matlock, look
ing up, saw a wall of water twenty
feet high rushing down the mountain.
Realizing instantly that Heppner
was doomed, Matlock thought of the
people in the other towns down the
valley and determined to save them If
he could. Calling TO Kelly he rushed
down the street. Knowing that they
would have to cross fields and fences,

Filipino mothers have little trouble
with their babies. They have n con

OF the bother of this sort. Every house

are nervous. Doctors say they cannot
remain quiet more than FIVE seconds
when they are awake. Filipino babies
are fully as nervous ms those OF other
countries, but they don't have the OPP
