LIFELESS RIDERS.
Thrilling Incidents Culled From The
Horroto of War.
A veteran of the British army in
India once saw a strange sight on a
battlefield. As he tells the story a
squadron o,f cavalry had been held in
reserve under cover of a field battery
and an infantry regiment. The artil
lery duel had ended. The assault of
the enemy in overwhelming numbers
had been repulsed by the steadiness
of the infantry. While a cloud of
smoke hung over the field the cav
alry received orders to charge with
drawn sabers.
The troopers started in close order
for the enemy's line. Midway they
met a destructive fire from earth
works in front of them and from the
woods on their flank. A young caval
ryman, with his saber drawn, was shot
in' the heart while leading in the first
file. The horse halted, swerved to the
right and turned back, but the rider
kept his seat without flinching. The
other troopers went on, carried the
earthwork by storm rode at full gal
lop after the retreating force and con
verted defeat into rout.
The dead trooper meanwhile was re
turning with white face and with the
blood streaming from his wound. Un
der his nerveless hand the horse re
ceived neither cheek nor leading and
made its own way toward the infantry
which was'now advancing rapidly. As
the smoke .lifted the soldiers saw the
solitary rider coming with one hand
in a death grip upon the saddle, while
the othelr still held the sword rigidly
clasped.
It was a sight never to be forgotten
-the galloping horse, with the dead
cavalryman still mounted aqd l'5king
grim and fierce. It was not until the
rider had gone fifty yards from the
sp9t where he had been killed that he
rolled off the horse.
A similar story is told of Captain
Nolan, who delivered the fatal blun
dering order for the charge of the fa
mou_s Light brigade. He vas seen on
theq field of Balakava, riding from the
hills where the staff oficers were
drawn up to thme quarter where the
brigade was stationed. - The charge
began, and what was left of the bri
gade -returned in broken groups.
At last Captain Nolan was seen gal
loping rapidly toward the center of
the. field. He was firmly seated,
straight as an arrow and riding well.
Suddenly the horse swerved and the
rider topp)led over. ''
The officeers wvho were nearest rush,
ed forward, but when they lifted him
fromi the ground they found him life
less. Like the Indian saberman, he
had been shot and i,nstruitly .killed,
bpt his horse had carried him.safely
across the field, out of the reach of
the pursuing Cossacks.
FORTUNE IN FISH.BAIT.
Maine Man Retires on Money Made
By Raising Earthworms.
By far the most popular bait for all
'kinds of fishing in Maine is living
earthworms, which have the odor of
the. ground about them and, wvhich
seem to be choice tidbits, not only-for
trout and landlocked salmon, but also
for pickerel, perch, black bass and, in
deed, every species of food fish that
swims in fresh water. As the Maine
soil is deficient in,humus and lacking
in decaying .vegetable matter, angle
worms are not plentiful.
Morle than ten .years ago, says an
exchange, Carl Beer's, a florist of Ban
gor, ,went into the,.buslness of rearing
earthworras .for thle ph@~oso. of sell

of gi,ant angle-worms froma India. In
the 1course of a few years lhe was able

average size for 10 cents a 'dozen.
Though his greenhouse was a- small
tone, and though his trade in flowers
was never extensive, he made moey
rapidly from the sale of worms, until
last year, when he retired and went
to his old home in Sweden a wealthy
man.
Sidney Cooke of Presque Isle, the
inventor of several diving appliances
used by men who work in deep waters,
was the next man to attract attention
as a public benefactor in the bait line.
Mr. Cooke says his invention 'was
made possible through having watch
ed the Indians of Canada when they
sought vorms for bait.
"All earth worms come to the sur
face at night," said he, "and feed on
the grasses and rotting leaves near the
entrance to their burrows. While the
worms were busy eating the Indians
of Canada had -a habit of dragging a
blanket with its under side smeared
with bird lime along the surfqce of
the land, thus picking up the fat
worms, together with sticks and
lumps of earth and small pebbles.
"After dredging the land for a
time the Indians carried the blanket
to the camp, picked off the worms and
added another coating of bird limo.
Though I have been praised very
much for-my invention, it is not mine
by rights, as I gained the idea from
Indians.
" The only change I have made is to
go out with a light giving forth a vlo
let color and allowing it to shine for
a few minutes upon the land to be vis
ited with the smeared blanket. Most
lights frighten earthworms and drive
them underground, which is the rea
son why they feed in tie dark, but. a
light that carries, a blue or a vioit
blue -shade seems to soothe the crea
tures and makes them careles of don
ger.
"Or perhaps the worms are hypno
tized by the.strange glare and cannot
get away. That is the way a dash lamp
acts upon deer at night, and I think
a deer should know as much as an
angleworm.''
Cheese "Mos' Too Fur Gone."
The old Virginia darkey who has
beeni from the time he wvas ten years
of age the dining room servant of one
of our aristbcratic families, says the
Washington Post, is noted for his
Chesterfieldian manners. And as a
waiter, cleaner, and everything else
for which a house' servant is wanted,
he is not equalled by his latter-day
brethren, whose main occupation, if
he has been to school and can'read a
little, is that of a hotel waiter or
Pullman car porter.
Hjaving some company to tea one
night, I remeinber tha.t..two of my
frjends ivere fond of Limburger
elleese. I bought a pound package
and2tooktit home with me. On arriv
al Old Unele.Isase met me as usual
wvith his acu salutation of
''Good even' boss." I said to him:
''Uncle Isaac,.you will' find among
other things in that box a package of
cheese, and I want it on the table to
night.''
''All right, boss; I'll have it.''
''Don't you forget it,'' said I.
''Oh, no suh; I ain't groi' fergit it.
I'll have it, sho'. ''
Now, Uncle IAaae had seen every
kind of cheese in his life, but this was
his first experience with the Limbur
gor.
When I took my. company into the
di,ning room the old fellow was stand
ing near the table, with a long white
apron- on, and a waiter under his arm
ready to jump if 1any one looked to
wvard him. Not seeing the cheese, I
said- to him, quietly:
''Uncle Isaac, where 's the cheese?''
With a looks of great disappoint
ment, he turnad'to my wife, as if to
say, ''Please'mari, come to. my-res
cue!'' but my wife only smiled. I re
peated my question then with more
emphasis. ''Uncle Isaae, where's the
eheegb '' He came s1jufflin~g up to
me sideways and being too polite to
l,et .the guests hear what he h'ad to
say, whispered, softly, in my ear,
"l3ss, it was mos' too' fur gone, an'
I flung it, away."
