FOUGHT AT BALAkLAVA.

Sergt. Ellis enlisted in the British
army in 1874. He was viewing a st.
Patricks Day parade in the streets Of
London and fell in with the recruits.
He was sent soon after to Parker's
Barracks, Isle of Wight, where he
learned the manual Of arms. went
later to Canada but returned upon the
outbreak of the Crimean war, through
which he fought. He was in the bat
ties OF Alma, Balaklava, Inkerman and
the siege of Sebastopol. Subsequent to
these experiences he came to the Unit
ed States and enlisted with the Second
United States artillery at Philadelphia,
and the first actual service he saw as
a soldier of this country was in the
Seminole war in Florida. He went
through the war between the states
as a member of Battery E. second U. S.
artillery, and it was in this service that
he was made sergeant, which title has
remained with him. He was in the
Shenandoah campaign, the battles OF
Antietam, Charlottesville, Gettysburg
and after the war when the negroes on
the plantations became unruly he was
commissioned by Maj. Gen. Foster tc

He was born in London February T.,
1925. Victoria was born in March,
1873. One of his stories is that the
child queen came into the store where
he was employed one day and pur-
chased doll, paying three shillings
for the toy. She was accompanied by
her governess. Upon emerging again
into the street she was appealed to by
an aged mendicant; he was a cripple
and the sight of him was distressing.
He begged for money with which to
buy bread. Victoria was struck with
pity, but she had no more money. Her
decision was instant. She returned to
the shop, returned the doll and got the
three shillings back. and going again
into the street placed the offering In
the hands Of the beggar. His eyes
filed with tears and he said, all un-
conscious of the child's identity: you

Chief Drainage Engineer J. O..
Wright has returned from trip to the
Everglades, where he conducted the
special legislative committee to the
scenes Of the operations on the east
side. The committee will return by
the western route and will not reach
Tallahassee until tomorrow or Mon
day. The visit has required more than
a week, and the report of the commit
tee will probably contain matter of in

the drainage work.
Major Wright reports the construc-
ton Of the locks in the north and south
canals, each located about nine miles
from FIT. Lauderdale. as proceeding
satisfa ctorily. Nearly fifty men are
engaged on the work of building the
locks, and it is estimated that they

The Proper Way to Walk.

graceful walk requires that the ball
of the foot he put down first and the toes
pointed outward. This lends a lightness
and a smoothness and facilitates progress
by lessening exertion.
Ankle movement is the secret of this
grace of carriage. a stiff ankle results in
the entire sole of the foot striking the
pavement simultaneously, giving ii jar
ring, hatfooted motion.
Shoulders thrown back, crown OF head
held high and chin we'll in are the rules
to be observed above the waist line. This
attitude gives the pedestrian a definite,
independent air that marks the man or
woman of distinct personality. Hands
and arms should be left free, but the
habit of constituting them d sort of hui
man pendulum is ODE carefully avoided.
minc!ng step or an exaggerated man.
nish stride are to be equally avoided.
Allow the limbs to swing free from the
hip and note the eXhilaration and buoy
ancy resulting from this practice.
The plant against high heels is with
out foundation. in the case of the woman
with high arched foot, who gains more
support from the raised heel than from
the abbreviated variety. BY the same
token it is injurious for the girl with low
arch to wear high heels and the trans
erosion of either one of these rules re-
suits in an awkwardness that no attrac-
tiveness of dress will overcome.

For Summer Campers.

These are the days when the old-fa Sh-
Toned oil lamp returns to its own. In the
summer cottage, the tent house or the re-
mote lodge there are no electric and gas
bills to trouble the mind and pocketbook.
1t is back to the lights of fifty years ago,
and the hardening is not so unwe.come
even to an age of electricity and gas
Successful lampight means scrupulously
clean oil vessel glass and burner. Wicks
burn better when a short length is used.
To eliminate waste cut long wick In
pieces and as each piece Is almost I'm
ished attach another to the end with
few stitches. icks are prevented from
smoking by boiling them in vinegar be-
fore they are used. Allow them to re-
main in the vinegar for three hours after
they are boiled drain and hang up to dry.
An improvised wick of a piece of soft
felt soaked in vinegar Is good substitute
when the regular supply runs out.
If light in the summer retreat Is not re-
auired for definite purposes candles will
be found practicable. No light equals the
soft glow Of a candle, and few of these
placed in old fastened china or brass
sticks about the rooms Will give a de-
Ightfully primitive appearance. Candles
are cheap and easy to care for, so that the
campers or those enjoying real outing
will find them Indispensable once they
are given trial

Soft. velvety skin is not result of

ously. Remove by wiping with SOFT

oughly by patting it with a towel. then
apply thin layer of cream, ma ssaging it
we'll in the face. Supplement with appli-
cation Of a cloth wrung out of cold wa

the fine texture of the skin, besides giving

A CHILDRENS GAME
FOR THE SEASHORE

games that can he played very well on
the sands at the seashOre.

After this those running across must not
only be touched by the three who have
been themselves touched, but must be
held until the catcher can touch the
others head. and say, Il crown thee
