An old, steady going farmer was ac-
eustomed to ride to the market town
upon a rather bad tempered horse.
One day his man Bob brought the
animal, which was especially vicious
that morning. to the door, the horse
trying to bite and kick and giving a
coed deal OF trouble.
The farmer mounted the. horse with
some dificulty and began to walk 1t
out Of the yard when Bob, who still
entertained III feeling against the AMI
NAL, picked up a stone and flung IL at
him with all his force; but, alas. his
aim was erratic. and the missile struck
his master on the head.

The total Russian forces, infantry,
cavalry and artillery. at Balaklava has
been Eariously estimated At from So
600 to 5000 men, while the English
force was much smaller In numberz
The two famous charges Of that day
were that OF the heavy brigade Of about
200 men against 1000 Russians and the
stfl more renowned charge Of the light
brigade OF about 600 men against the
Russian guns. No accurate figures
seem to be recorded, as those given by
various authorities differ greatly. The
result OF the first charge was the break
Of the Russian cavalry, which 1ed back
to the protection Of their artillery and
were not pursued very far by the Brit
ish. The second charge was unsuc-
cessful as a military measure, for,
though the Russian gunners were mo-
mentarily driven from their guns. they
returned and fired upon friend and foe
alike, while superior force Of cavalry
engaged the British. II Is said that
evening parade saw only ten men
mounted out Of the 600 who had ridden
IN the charge.

feed on them-the valued butterfly and

Itacolumite is a peculiar stone which
Is found In Brazil When flexible itaeOl-
unite Is cut into thin plates, and when
examined with a microscope it is found
to be composed almost entirely Of fine
grains Of sand Of peculiar shape. with
indented edges which interlock like the
fingers OF clasped hands. The fexibil-
fly OF the material results from this
interlOcking OF the grains Of sand, Of
which it is chiefly composed. Although
but few persons know that this stone
can be anything but hard, he flexible
stone Is not so much Of a curiosity as
It seems, for It is found in North Caro-
lima, and there are specimens Of it in

and was not TO be seen again until
Winthrop sailed into Massachusetts,

were heavy, a lively trade-with fish,

val superiority kept all foes at a dis
