As a\nyoung officer he rode with the Light\nBrigade, and on its return found himself, then a lieutenant in the 17th\nLancers, in command, all his senior\nofficers having been killed or wounded. Some time ago he was induced to\nput on record what he did and saw\non that memorable day. A hundred\ntimes, says M.A.P., he was as near\ndeath as a man can possibly be. \"I\nappeared,\" he said in the narrative,\n\"to be riding straight on to the niuz-\ntsle of one of the guns, and I distinctly saw one of the gunners apply his\nfuse. I shut mv eyes then, for I\nthought that settled the question so\nfar as I was concerned.\n\"But the shot just missed me and\nstruck the man on my left full in\nthe chest In another minute I was\non tho gun, and the Russian's grey\nhorse, shot, fell across my horse,\ndragging it over with him and pinning me in between the gun and himself. A Russian gunner came on foot\nand covered me with his carbine. He\nwas .just within reach, and I struck\nhim across his neck. At the same\ntime a mounted gunner struck my\nhorse with his sabre on the forehead, Spurring 'Sir Briggs,\" he half\njumped, half blundered, over the fal-\nlep horses, and bolted with me.

Henry VIII. took a fancy to\nStanwell and made up his mind to\nhave it. He had a pretty way of doing things, had Henry, and one fine\nday he sent word to Lord Windsor\nthat ho was coming to dine' with him.\nEvery preparation wns made to entertain His Majesty royally and well,\nbut after the banquet the King informed his host that he liked Stanwell so much that ,he had decided to\npossess himself of it and gave him\nthe grant of llordersley Abbey in\nWorcestershire instead. Lord Windsor begged hard to be allowed to keep\nStanwell, which had been in his family for several centuries, but it was\niu vain.\u00E2\u0080\u0094London Gentlewoman.\nThe Troubles of an Actor.\nMr. Lawrence Grossmith, the musical comedy \"dude\" who is playing\nwith so much success as Geoffrey\nSmith in \"An Englishman's Home,\"\nin London, has received many curious communication from all parts\nof the globe since the production of\nthe play at Wyndham's Theatre. One\nmorning on official letter from an\narmy captain in 'Switzerland reached\nhint. The sender stated that he had\nwitnessed the play, and was generally shocked to learn that one of the\ncharacters playing an insignificant\npart was \"cloaked\" with his name,\nand even purported to represent his\nregiment, wearing Ihe same style of\nuniform, and in every detnil mocking the aggrieved writer. The character referred to was Capt. Finch, of\nthe 6th Vol. Batl.

In\nearly days, Patti one line morning\nwas walking down Regent street, London, arm-inarm with her first husband, the Marquis de Caux. At tbe\nwindows of the Stereoscopic Company\nshe stopped to look at the photograph\nof her rival there displayed. \"Look,\"\ncried a young man' standing by, who\ndid not recognize the diva, \"at that\nphotograph of Albani! Oh, she's Al,\nand Patti's nowhero now!\" Patti\nturned quickly on the speaker.\n\"Thank you, sir,\" she said, with a\nsmart little bow, and tripped off\ngaily.\nSUNLIGHT\nSOAP\nTHIS IS IT IV.\nThei soap that aavea\nyou work, and naves\nyou money without Injury\nto hands or\narticle.\nSunlight Soap*\nturna wash-\ntub drudgery\nInto pleasure.\nOeta bar of Sunlight\nto-day and try.\nRavenous Coyotes\nVernon Bailey, of the United States\nBureau of biological survey, declares\nwolves and coyotes cost the farmers\nand stock raisers of this country several million dollars a year, and in some\nof the northern states threaten the extermination of deer.. Wolves, it appears, are especially numerous and destructive in Wyoming.\nAn interesting statement made by\nMr. Bailey is that elk are great natural \u00C2\u00B0nemies of wolves, and he dwells\non this as of \"great practical significance\" for its bearing on the protection of stock from the ravenous beast.\nHe quotes with unqualified approval\nthese words from George W. Ross, of\nEureka Springs, Ark.:\n\"An elk is the natural enemy of dogs\nand wolves. We suffered great losses\nto our flock until we. learned this fact,\nSince then we have had no losses from\nthis cause. A few elk to a thousand,\nacre pasture will absolutely protect\nthe flocks therein.\"\nKeeping Time in Holland\n\"Railroad time, as we generally understand the phrase in the United\nI States, is a little ahead of the 'town'\ntime, but in The Hague, the quaint\nold capital of Holland, all private\nand unofficial clocks and watches are\nkept twenty minutes fast,\" said Ger.\naid Walthall.\n\"When it is noon in the railway\nstation, post-office and other government buildings of The Hague the\ntimepieces in the shops and the\nwatches of the sturdy burghers show\n12.20 p.m. Just what reason there is\nfor this I don't know, although I\nasked enlightenment in mnny auar-\nters.

J. Shaw, a Toronto man, claims\nthat he can produce fine tool steel\nfrom sund. The production is effected by means of a secret process of\npreparation of material, and of a. specially devised patentable furnace.\nShaw recently took a newspaperman\nthrough the entire operation, beginning with the separation of the magnetite from the silicate sand obtained\non Hanlan's Island, showing the electro-magnetic separator, of his own invention, the furnace, the material as\nprepared and biiquetted for the furnace, the first and most important\nproduct, steel bloom, and the forged\nsteel; giving the productive capacity\nof the furnace, the cost of fuel and of\nmaterial and labor; and sandwiching\nin reasons why, and technical information galore. It all seems to demonstrate conclusively that high\ngrade tool steel ingots can be produced from this black sand, at about the\nmarket price of charcoal pig iron.\nWho can estimate the revolution\nwhich such a discovery is bound to\nmake in the tool steel manufacturing\ninterest in this country?\nAn End In View.\nLife savers do not take their work\nas seriously as the newspapers make\nout, sometimes.\nThe three-masted schooner St. Louis\nwaa ashore on the Island (Toronto)\nsandbar the other Sunday.

He was going to see pick\nBrant. Next to visiting Alice May-\nUng tbls was bis greatest treat\nRichard Brant could not make amazing cookies and preserves like Miss\nMayllng, but, he could tell stories ol\nIndians and grizzlies and other creatures dear to the small boy's heart.\nMiss Mayllng's stories carried morals\nand were about little boys Who were\nso very good tbat Bobby found them\nextraordinarily uninteresting. Had It\nnot been thut tbe Mayllng cakes were\nus good as her young heroes Bobby\nwould not bare been u frequent caller\non Alice Mayllng.\nTbls afternoon aa he was warming\nbis dimpled bands before the open Ore\nhe regarded with secret awe the deft\nfashion In whlcb Brant rolled himself\na cigarette with one hand. Brant bad\nbeen a plainsman until be had run\nacross a mine while lie was looking\nfor stray cuttle, and he could throw a\nrope and talk real Indian talk.\n\"1 looked for yon yesterday,\" said\nDick Brunt gravely ns be sank Into a\nchair on the opposite side of the lire-\nplace.\n\"I was seeing Miss Mayllng,\" explained Bobby, \"Sbe makes cake on\nThursdays.\"\n\"And you deserted me because Miss\nMayllng was making cuke!\" cried Dick\nsolemnly. In reality, though he used\nmock palhos, be was a little jealous of\nMiss Mayllng's popularity with his little cnum. Somehow Bobby seemed to\nBrant the most sincere friend be bad\nmade In the big eastern city.\n\"Cake Is nice Just out of tbe oven,\"\nexplained Bobby. \"She always bakes\na little cake for me, and of course 1\nbave to go and eat It.\"\n\"I suppose so.\" assented Dick, \"but\nI was very lonesome yesterday.\"\n\"I'm sorry,\" said Bobby, wltb\nprompt penitence nnd a troubled face.\n\"Wouldn't It be nice,\" be added, \"If I\ncould go to see you and Miss Mayllng\nat tbe same time? You could tell me\natorlea and sbe could bake cake,\"\nHe stared Into tbe Ore, lost In rapture at tbe thought of this most valuable combination. Dick looked scared\nand blushed. He was little used to\nfeminine society, and a suggestion like\ntbat. even from Bobby, startled blm.\nBesides, be bad been secretly studying\nMiss Mayllng from afar.\n\"Tben you wouldn't tie lonesome any\nmore,\" resumed Hubby, the vast at-\ntractions of his good Idea growing on\nbim, \"not even If I didn't come and\nsee you, 'cause tben you and abe would\nhave each otber. But of course 1 would\ncome to see you.\" be added quickly.\n\"It would be awful nice.\"\n\"I guess It would,\" assented Dick a\nlittle absently.\n\"Then why don't you?\" demanded\nBobby, wltb engaging directness.\n\"To begin with, I don't know ber,\"\nexplained Dick. \"You see, a man bas\nto know a lady before he can call on\nher, and I've never met Miss Mayllng.\"\nWben Bobby finally trotted away he\nwas thinking deeply. It waa absurd\nthat bis best mun should not know\nMiss Mayllng.\nAt tbe next baking day at Miss Mayllng's tbe thought was revived, and\nwltb a ofenlal thnt meant Immense determination* to blm be obtained per\nmission to take his small spice cake\nbome. As soon as be wns out of ber\nsight he carried It to Brant, bis fat\nlegs speeding wonderfully.\n\"Ain't it fine}\" he demanded eagerly\nwhen he bad watched Brant devour\ntbe last spicy morsel, not wil bout envy\ntbat almost assumed a poignant degree.\n\"Simply great\" admitted Brant, with\nunforced enthusiasm. \"I tell you. Bobby, tbe woman wbo made that cake la\na wonder of a cook.\"\nBobby beamed his professional satisfaction. \"I thought you'd like It.\" be\nsaid confidently. \"She makes nicer\ncakes than that sometimes. I'll bring\nyou anotber wben sbe makes fruit\ncake.\"\n\"Don't do It,\" advised Brant smilingly. \"If tbe fmlt cake Is as good as\nthis I'm liable to abduct ber and force\nber to bake cuke for me for tbe rest of\nber life.\"\n\"What's abduct?\" demanded Bobby.\nWhen the word bed been explained to\nblm be wrinkled bis pudgy brows. But\nIf another deep Idea hud come to hlm,\nas that coutortlon would seem to denote. It remained a secret in bis fat\nbreast \"Give us an Indian story,\" be\ndemanded.\n\"All right, son,\" said Dick as be\nstretched himself out In hla easy chair\nand prepared to enterlaln bis small\nguest with tbe story of how Chief\nSpotted l'uniher carried off his Indian\nbride from the camp of a hostile tribe.\nHe was unusually graphic In bis\nstory telling, for os be went on he lie-\ngun to Imagine that he was Spotted\nPanther and Miss Mayllng was tbe\nIndian maid. Thus sudly had the unprincipled suggestions of the scheming\nBobby riintnmliiiited Dick Brant's good\nmanners. But It must he admltled In\nhis fuvor that It was not the cuke, but\nthe memory of her womanly sweetness, that tired his thoughts ond lent\neloquence to his tougue.\nIt wus u deeply Impressed small boy\nwho climbed down off the chair arm\nwhen the tale was done and regret-\nfnlly announced thnt he wnuul have tn\nbe going home. Tbe very next day\nhe went to vlsty Miss Mayllng with\ntbe more or less peremptory request\ntbat abe hake him a fruit cake.\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0'Going to bave a tea party. Bobby?\"\nabe aaked gayly.* But Bobby shook\nhia bead solemnly and declined to be\nj drawn into trivial conversation.\nj \"I .want It for some one\u00E2\u0080\u0094some one\n! who doesn't get nice cuke,\" be.con-\n{descended at Inst examining Miss\nMayllng shrewdly us be spoke.\n\"If you don't tell me wbo It Is I\nwon't bake it for you,\" sbe teased, anticipating the revelation nf some new\nlove affair. Bobby wus as popular as\nbe was fickle, and Miss Mayllng, hardened by experience with the young\nman, supposed thut only tbe power of\nlove could bave Induced him to forego\ntbe eating of ber cake the day before.\n\"Have 1 got to?\" he asked anxiously,\nfearful that a premature explanation\nmight destroy the success of tbe abduction.\n\"Certainly,\" Insisted Miss Mayllng.\nBobby was dismayed. But the cake\nmust be secured at all hazards.\n\"lt'B for Mr. Brant,\" he explained.\n\"He said If you baked blm a fruit\ncake he'd come with bis pony nnd bit\nall the chiefs on the bend wltb a torn-\nniyhawk and curry you off and make\nyou bake cake for him all the rest of\nyour life.

The largest number of applications made on one day\nwas 169\u00E2\u0080\u0094on Dec. 24. The applications\nfrom women inventors numbered 672,\nas compared with 560 in 1,907. Last\nyear 24,389 designs and 5,965 trade\nmarks were registered. The total receipts in tiie department were $1,386.-\n675, of which $1,314,450 was from patent fees. The year's Work involved\n290,000 letters and 93,000 parcels of\npublications. As to the trend of invention in 1908, the report stated that\nthe subject of locomotion in general\noccupies a prominent position in the\ntitles of applications for patents made\nduring the year, and this is regarded\nas principally due to the continued\ninterest taken in the motor-car.\nThough diminishing, activity still prevails as regards wheels, where efforts\nhave been largely directed towards\nthe provision of an easily detachable\ntyre-carrying'rim. Attempts to abate\nthe dust nuisance are shown in many\ninventions relating to road tarring\nmachines, compositions for treating\nthe surfaces of roads, and dust-collector fittings on the cars.\nThe desire to facilitate roadside repairs to motor road vehicles has caused increased attention to be given to\nthe minor subjects of tools, such as\nspanners and valve lifters. The interest shown in the mechanically propelled road vehicle is accompanied by\nsome neglect of horse-drawn and railway vehicles. Many inventors continue to be occupied with flying machines of the \"heavier than air\" type,\nespecially in regard to their automatic balancing, and to facility of manipulation of the various rudders und\nplanes.\nThe increasing importance of india-\nrubber in the industrial world is\nshown by attention being given to\nprocesses lor the regeneration of\nwaste rubber and the synthetic production of rubber or rubber-like products. The economical tendency of\ninventors is manifested in the number of applications received in connection with holders for rendering\npossible the stropping of thin flexible\nrazors of the \"safety\" type. It is\nrecorded that procedure under the\nActs of 1902 and 1907 has tended to\nstrengthen the position of the genuine\ninventor and prevent the patent system being misused by adventurers as\na means of encroaching on the rights\nof the public. Under section 27 of\nthe Act of 1907, which provides for\nthe revocation of patents worked exclusively or mainly outside the\nUnited Kingdom, 15 applications\nwere made. Two of these were abandoned, in two cases the patents were\nrevoked, and 11 cases are pending.\nIn spite of the decrease in the total\nnumber of applications received in\n1903, those from England and Wales\nwere more numerous than in 1907 by\n615, and those from other parts of the\nUnited Kingdnm were almost equal in\nnumber. The applications from Australia, New Zealand, and Canada show\na decided decrease. From Australia\n166 were received and from Canada\n165.\nINDIA'S NEW WAR LORD\nIS A GALLANT SOLDIER.\nQueen Victoria's Favorite Novelist.\nAmongst the many distinctions enjoyed by Mr. William Le Queux was\nthat M being the favorite novelist of\nthe late Queen Victoria. It is amazing what a multitude of experiences\nthis popular writer has crowded into\nhis life. He has a rare knowledge of\ncontinental travel, is the personal\niriend of more than one European\nmonarch, and possesses quite a number of foreign decorations bestowed\nupon him by royalty.

I took bis money, guve him a\npair of open bridles, and tbe team is\nperfectly safe, but It bad cost him a\nbroken leg and bad torn up two sets\nof harness, smashed a buggy and broken a wagon tongue. And yet tbey\nsay a blind bridle is the best. I was\ntalking to a man one day on this subject, and he said he knew blind bridles\nwere the best because nearly every\none used them, '\"What an argument!\nThere was a time when nearly everybody thought the earth was fiat, but\nthey were wrong. He said, too, that a\nhorse. looked better in blind bridles.\nWhat an idea!

He sent for Captain Creagh, who was in command\nof a native battalion called Merwerns,\nand ordered him to take two companies (about a hundred and flftv\nmen) and march to the village of\nKam Dakka, a lew miles off. Ho\nwas, the officer said, to hold the placi\nand keep the line of communication\nopen at all costs.\nIn a short time Creagh and his li*-\ntle force were ready.

But the young captain stood\nfast and refused to b\"dge. Finding\nhim immovable, the villagers gathered up their belongings nnd fled, taking with them most of the women\nand children.\nSoon the day broke nnd showed a\nlarge force ot Momunds\u00E2\u0080\u0094at least ten\nto one against the handf\"! of Britis'i\n-ready to attack the village. Captain Creagh hastily reconnoitred his\nposition, and snw that it was impossible lo hold the vilhte with any\nchance of success. He decided to\nwithdraw to a cemetery thnt lay near\nond hnd the advantage of being sur.\nrounded by a low wnll. Towards thi*\nhis men crept ill twos and threes\nuntil the village was evacuated.\nThey gathered all the stones thev\ncould find and tried to improve their\ndefences by heightening the wall.\nCaptain Crenrh made them a litthi\nspeech, in which he explained how\nmuch depended on them, and urged\nthem to he resolute.\nVery soon the Momunds discovered\nwhat bail happened, and they advanced cheering to attack Ihe cemetery. Not once nor twioa, but many\ntimes the Momunds assaulted the\nheroic little bund, and during tho\nwhole time Captain ('reach was at\nthe wall in Ihe thick ol each encounter.
