THE LIGHT BRIGADE. 4- Russian View of the Ride into tjte Jaws of Death. That the charge of the Light brigade ■ seemed to onlookers a pie ••• of uiaguitlcent folly is evident from ail reminiscence* of t!...t day. First came the attack of the l:--:i'. y brisa !e upon 3.'‘O Russian cavalry. Then later in the day ! the attemj t to recapture seven guns taken from the Turks by the Russians i in their first advci.ce upon the roti ilits led to the charge of the Light brig.de. “When we saw the English coming at us,” says a Rnssifia soldier, •'there was but one thought What fools!' we said. We never dreamed they would charge. Ivan Ivanovitch, a Russian survivor of the day, says in his "Recollections:” “We were so sorry for them. They were fine soldiers and had such fine horses. But the charge—it was the maddest thing ever done. We could not understand it. I had been in the I charge of the heavy brigade in the morning and was wounded. We had ail unsaddled an 1 were tired. Suddenly there was a cry, 'The English are coming!' “Our colonel was angry and ordereel the men to give no quarter. “I was lying down, -with my wound bandaged, when I saw them coming. We thought they were drunk from the way they held their lances. Instead of carrying them under their armpits they waved them in the air. Os course they j were easier to guard against like that. “Those men were mad and never seemed to think of the tremendous numbers against them nor of the fearful slaughter that had taken place in their ranks during that desperate ride. Then they neared us and dashed in among us. shouting, cheering and cursing. I never saw anything like it. They were irresistible, and our men were quite demoralized.” GRANT'S SYMPATHY. Tribute of a Southern Woman to the General'ii Kindly Mature. The sympathetic side of General Grant's nature, a? every one knows. ' Was very strong. A few* days after the surrender of Vicksburg a southern ' lady hurried to his quarters to ask for , information about her husband, of whose safety she had beard conflicting reports. The general replied that . be could not give her the infi-rtnutioh she desired, but that he would send an orderly at once to find out the facts for her. When the man returned with the news that her husband was safe i the southern woman's eyes filled with tears of gratitude, while tears of sympathy showed on the cheeks of Gener- , Bl Grant. On another occasion—it was. years after—at a banquet in Vicksburg given him when he was making a tour of the southern states one was heard expressing her gratitude to him for past kindnesses. As he replied to her two tears rolled slowly down bis checks. For little children and old people General Grant showed special sympathy. Many who were small foes in those days remembered bis way of drawing them to him and Impressing a kiss on cheek or brow. One old lady who afflicted her friends by her propensity for smoking was often the recipient of a good cigar from him. The gift was fully appreciated, as the general’s stock was always of the best. When he was 11l in Washington she sent him some wild I flowers “from the hills of Vicksburg." for which a letter of thanks was promptly returned. Subsequently, when she visited Washington, she was kindly received by the president, who, to her delight, presented her with some more of his good cigars.—Helen Gray In Leslie's Weekly. Crop*, Gizzard* and Stomach*. Insects are oddly constructed atoms of animated nature, as a rule, and it depends altogether on the species as to internal makeup. In bees the crop | is called the honey bag.” Insects with mandibles usually have a modified ’ form of the "gizzard” so typical in ’.he common barnyard fowl. In some cases this miniature "gizzard” is a perfect wonder shop, its inner surface being provided with "pads” covered with “horns” and "bristles” in great profusion. The grasshopper's “gizzard" la lined with innumerable rows of teeth, very minute, of course, but well developed. true teeth, nevertheless The same may be said of crickets and other Insects of that ilk. A<e of Mother Earth. An eminent scientist’s estimate of the age of the world is "not so grsat as 40.000.000 years, possibly as little as 20.000000 years, probably 3O.uuu.uuo i years." As not even the greatest sei- I entists have been able to find out with- ' In 10.000,000 or 15.U00.UU0 years low . old Mother Earth is, it must be confeaaed that she keeps the secret of her age quite as well ns do her cbam'ng daughters. The scientists may at Mat come to the conclusion that, like die others, she is “only us old us she looks."—Baltimore Sun. Rasped, “Do you shave yourself very close''” aai<! the barber.
