viii be recollected that NJ Houssaye
has stated-and it has been generally
accepted-that only FIVE battalions OF
the French Guard were engaged in
Ney's final attack on the British light
center at Waterloo. He says that the
Fourth Chasseurs was small regi-
ment originally, and suffered so severe
ly at Ligny that 1t was consolidated
into a single battalion on June Is.
These assertions, Prof. Oman remarks,
are contradicted "a by the fact that
1t certainly had 1,041 bayonets-two
full battalions-on the morning of Lg-
ny, as shown by the new return which
has been discovered, and (2) by the
tables of NJ Martinien, which dem
onstrate that the regiment lost not
one single officer killed or wounded at
Lgny. 1t cannot possibly have had
more than twenty or thirty casualties
in the rank and file. probably less. At
Waterloo, therefore, it must have
been still o~er 1000 strong, and form
ed two full battalions. Ney's attack,
therefore, was delivered by six, not
FIVE, battaIions, supported, as we be

Making Vinegar From Pears.

The bureau of chemistry of the Agricul-

been engaged for several weeks past ex-
perimenting with the idea Of making good
vinegar from pears The officials of the
department are confident that the expert
ment will be successful. The big Keifer
pear, large quantities of which are sold in
this city, is the fruit used in the expert
ments, and the scientists have been making
a chemical analysis of the pear. Several
times recently quantities of the pears have
been obtained from dealers in this city,
and another order was placed yesterday.
1t is stated that while pears will make a
fair cider, the cider has not yet been con-
verified into vinegar by the process used
in making cider from apples.
