S, ROBERTS HE WAS AT LUCKNOW ii ns N Walker, A CHICAGO CABMAN WHO WENT TO THE RELIEF OF HAVELOCK,. Ile Tells In Sts Own Way the Story Which Has Often Been Told Before. One of the Famous 'Light Brigade," Though Not at Balaklava. T. J. McNally, a cab driver with a station at the northeast corner of Dear- born and Monroe streets, is one of the survivors of that regiment of British soldiers who went to the relief of Luck - now. He is a hardy, rugged, stoat built man, with a medal of honor on his breast and a memory of ten years' serv- ice in the army of Great Britain. The command with which he served in In- dia was composed in part of that little band of heroes left from the famous fight at Balaklava-4that immemorial "Charge of the Light Brigade." And he shared with them the splendid hon- or of rescuing from beleaguered Luck - now the English women and children, and the English officers and men as well, who had fought for.more than life_ against the savagery of a sepoy rebel- lion1 pewaft born in Scotland, but of Irish ts, " said Mr. McNally,' chatting of the ugh service and the men he had marchl with and fought under in those days, which resembled so closely the perilous phases of England's situation, in` India today. "I was born at Barr- head, and Jan. 28, 1858, I enlisted' .at Lanark in tke Ninety-second or Gorden highlanders, and after 'some months of drill •and garrison duty volunteered Feb. 28, _1857, to the Ninety-third or Suth- erland highlanders, who were stationed at Dover Heights: -There was continual talk of their going out to the China war, and I wanted the adventure and the experience of real soldiering. "It was Dover castle those days, for the castle still stood there. It was one of England's defenses and had been for centuries. I am told the castle is all ruined and gone now. " We embarked at Spithead June 15, 1857, for the China war and sailed away down the west coast of Africa After we were out at sea we spoke a vessel from the cape and heard of the Indian Mutiny, but of course our duty was to go on to China, where we had been ordered. It was pretty ° hard lines for ns. We wanted to get up into India, where they needed us, and at cape of Good Hope a :lighter vessel from England overtook us and countermanded our orders. We were sent from there with all haste to Cal- cutta and landed Sept. 80, 1857. Think of tliat! More than three months get- ting to the mutiny! "There were no railroads, and we started right out and marched up coun- try as far as Cawnpur; 680 miles. It was a hard, hard march, but we made as good time as British soldiers ever did anywhere. At Cawnpur we were joined by General Hope Grant and Sir Colin Campbell, who had been waiting for re- enforoements so they could hurry on Lucknow. - "Then we went ion and reached the besieged city Noir. 18, 1857 -over 700 miles in less than iO days. `We had but 4,000 men even then, and there were 60,000 - native soldiers, armed as we were armed, for they had been .part of the British army, but they were not commanded so well, and they did not have so much to fight for. `It was quick work -all with the bayonet. They could not stand the rushes. We forced our way to the cit- adel, and the third day we took out the women and children and what was left of the garrison. Then we retired in the night. They could not realize we had done so much, and they could not be- lieve we would withdraw, but we were ) not= strong enough to hold the place and selected a position of our own at Alumbaugh, three miles away. If they bad known we were going to slip away they could have massed • their forces, leaving the city uncovered, and hemmed us in, but we were away and ready for them before they knew it. "There Havelock died of dysentery three days after the relief. He would have been dead a week before we came, but he didn't dare to die. He had to de- fend those women and children. "I was wounded at the Lucknow fight, but it did not amount to much. I staid on duty all the time. The bullet was extracted and I got along. No, there is no pension. You get a pension after 21 years' service in the British army, or after being positively disabled. I was only ten years in the service. .After that I came to America -to Chi- cago. I have had money and am getting on all right yet. Medal? Yes, I wear the medal. That regiment is the only one that wears its medal on its colors.

Astigmatism is due to irregular shape of the eye, and is usually congenital, hut is often causedbv im- properly fitted glasses. Many school children with' this defect are called stupid, but with properly fitted glasses they may become the brightest of scholars. This is quite a common and daneercus defect. Hyper- metropia is a malformation which keeps the ciliary muscle in constant use, whereas in a normal eye it is at rest when looking at a distance. This defect, if neglected, may result in nervous depression and pain, and even prostration. Myopia is a diseased condition of the eye, which should be very carefully fitted to prevent an increase of the defect, and perhaps ulti- mate blindness. Presbyopia is a less of accommoda- tion in the eye, which may cause cataract unless cor- rected by art.ficial aid.

Thein discovery startled the medical pro- fession the world over, and revolutionized the treatment of kidney diseases.

Many a girl has found to her sorrow that in spite of all her natural and acquired beauty she alniost invariably faile to attract attention iliac company of young men and women, while another, with far fewer physical attractions, is lionized before her very eyes. This is mortifying in the ex- treme to any girl, and, most of all, toone who is conscious of a comely face and figure. The real secret of the trouble is that she is not interesting. Young erten grow tired of just merely looking at ' a pretty girl. They want to be interested and entertained. Young women who expect to enter society should seriously consider the matter of be- coming interesting, for, while beauty is a great advantage, the ability to entertain counts for much more, Said one young woman to another -"How I envy you your gift of entertaining i You always seem to have something bright and interesting to say. People gather around you at receptions and parties,and you are always in demand." "My clear, it is perfectly simple," she said. "Any one can do it who possesses the average degree of intelligence. It is merely a matter of proper arrangement of one's forces. A general may have twice as many men as his opposite commander and be defeated, because they were not in the right place at the right time. Train your forces to be on call, my dear. If you want to be able to tally have something ready to talk about. That is the whole secret. "As regards chatting withpeople in gen- eral, nothing is easier. You have two or three good newspapers every day, and as' many or more good magazines every month. Those are amply sufficient to poet you thor- oughly regarding the topics that are of inter - eat to people of your own set. Do not try to absorb and digest the entire contents at 'one fell swoop.Make a dozen different lists for different occasions. Of coarse they are the stock subjects, but they will serve to help you to acquire self-possession, which is the principal pointeand before you know it you will find yourself expressing some ori- ginal thought that takes the topic out of the common place. "For other occasions' other methods are desirable. Whenever you see a short, witty verse or poem on social topics, learn it. Above all,get a supply of bright stories com- mitted to memory. A good way to memorise is to write the story you have heard or read, in brief, note fashion. Tell these stories briskly. with no superfluous words to make people wonder when you are coming to the point. Stories about well-known people are always desirable, as they are likely to be apropos. That sort of thing always takes at a dinner or supper. "After a while you will find that yorr carefully arranged topics will arrange them- selves. You will instinctivelydnote and re- member the story or verse or bit of interest- ing or amusing gossip, and it will almost nn - consciously come to your thought at the right moment." • o One Like Father. Years o a neighbor of mine had two boys of ut my own age, who, it seemed to me, h an ideal father. He was a busy man but somehove always found time to participate in the sports of his boys, to be one with them, and more than that, to be their leader. Saturday afternoons, when the weather was warm, he went swimming with them, and Sunday afternoons they al- ways went together for a long walk in the woods. Evenings after supper, so long as the light lasted, he played ball with them and in a hundred other little ways manifest- ed a genuine interest in what interested the boys. The result was soon apparent and is the same to this day --there is no one in the world like father. . On the other hand,* number of my school- mates had no idea what it was to have their fathers as members of their own company. They loved their fathers and their fathers loved them, but their was none of that precious comradeship later in life to be treasured as the most precious legacy of early years. When the boys wanted to go swimming they were told that it was unsafe unless some one older was with them, but there was no one to go and the boys learned on the sly. The same was tree when they were old enough to -want a gun. Those boys grew up to love and respect their fathers but there was not that bond of sympathy that in the former ease caused the father to place his con-fidence in his boys in business affairs, and that taught them rarely to make a move in business matters without first consulting their father and considering his opinion. Waldo. CRYING AS A SAFETY VALVE. Stientiiie pro/Aeration That "a Good Cry" Is Beneficial. Having removed into the store formerly occupied by Mr. 'J. Downey, in the Cady Block, opposite the Commercial Hotel, I now purpose carrying a full and complete ine of. all kinds of Harness, Whips, Blankets, And everything handled by the trade. Just received this week a large consignment of BLANKETS, GOAT ROBES AND GOLLOWAY ROBES, Which we are ow offering at astonishingly low prices. M. BRODERICK, SEAFORTH. The Hospital declares that the popu- lar belief that "a good cry" gives at times a salutary relief has a good scien- tific foundation. A writer on that sub- ject says: "Crying is so commonly associated with distress that man's natural in- stinct is to put a stop to it as soon as possible. We should not forget, how- ever, that it has its uses. Dr. Harry Campbell has recently shown how com- plex are the phenomena involvedin 'a good ory.' This does not consist merely In the shedding of tears, but includes so general and widespread an action of the muscles that the whole body may be con- vulsed. In children also a great change takes place during crying in the manner in which the respiration is carried on. 'Expirations are prolonged, sometimes for as much as half a minute and are in- terrupted by short inspirations. During expiration the glottis is contracted so that the intrapulmonary pressure rises considerably, and there can be but little doubt that it is the equal distribution of this increased air pressure throughout the whole of the chest, leading to the dilatation of portions of the .lungs that have become more or less collapsed, that is the explanation- of the great benefit which often results from crying in cases of infantile bronchitis and of the large discharge of bronchial mucus which so often follows. Children may become very blue during the paroxysm, but the deep respirations which succeed- quickly restore the circulation to a better con- dition than before in consequence of the larger lung space rendered available. In women the beneficial effect of a good cry is proverbial. In them also this is - partly due to the increased depth of respiration and the improvement in the often languid circulation thereby in- duced, but to a large extent it is the re- sult of the muscular exercise involved, by which the general vascular tension, and especially the blood pressure in the brain, are mulch reduced. The profuse flow of tears no doubt also acts strongly on the cerebral circulation in still fur- ther reducing tension. The sobbing movements, again, have a good influence upon the venous circulation in the ab- dominal and pelvic viscera, while the exhaustion produced tends to produce sleep and thus to give the nervous sys- tem its best chance of recuperation. We should not, then, too hastily intervene to stop a woman from having out her. cry. If we can remove her trouble, by all means let us do so, but if the trouble is to remain, let leer cry herself to sleep. This is far better than soothing drafts." ,:^ :iindreds of Pe d Living in this neighbbrhood testi gladly to the wonderful- virtues of Fie YAL `GLYCEBA1ED BALSAM 00 FIR, The- Greatest Cough Remedy. ,.,.s m ieese**mmemmmeao. w ■ Q e...

NO WITNESSES REQUIRED, AN AFRICAN POISON STORY sEvoTiTg, MAIN STREET Strange phenomenon Witnessed In the Northeast of the Dark Continent. Charles M. Stern of Chicago, who re- turned to this pity after a journey through northeast Africa, told of a curi- ous meteorological phenomenon which he observed in a district called Gwallah. ' `The •vegetation in that region is very luxuriant," said he, "and the plant life must give off an unusually large quan- tity of carbonic acid gas. At least that was the conclusion I reached after see- ing three natives die and four or five dogs. `The moment the animals put their noses close to the ground they would fall over and gasp and die in about five minutes. The natives who died slept ou the ground instead of in hammocks, as others did. I saw hundreds of dead birds. My theory is that a stratum of the deadly gas covered th'e ground for a depth of three or four inches, and any living thing breathing in that area would be asphyxiated. "I could not understand, however, how the gas was not distributed in a thinner layer and what kept it in one place for a whole day. Nothing like it had ever been known there before. The deaths of the men and: the dogs all oc- curred within 24 hours. Then the gas, if it was really gas, seemed to dissipate. It was a very strange, occurrence, and.I might have been induced to make a more exhaustive investigation if my presence bad not excited distrust. I got away as quickly as possible rather than be accused of being the cause of the sudden deaths. The natives are super- stitious and attribute most of their mis- fortunes to witchcraft, so I thought it the part of wisdom to get away. "-New York Mail and Express. To Keep Paris Clean. To do this work and to remove the 2,500 cubic meters of rubbish there are 149 brigades of sweepers, numbering 8,345, in conjunction with 550 rubbish carts and 1,075 horses. From before dawn till long after sun- set one sees in Paris the street cleaners in their peaked caps and watermen's boots or sabots hard at their work of sweeping, swabbing or watering. Each hour of the day brings its particular work for them. From 4 to 6 :30 a. m. they have to wash and sweep the pave - Monts and streets, and in winter cast gravel on the asphalt (315, 470 meters) and wood paving (868, 300 meters) of the city. From 6:30 till 8 :30 four of them and a woman sweeper accompany the scavenger's dust cart to clear away from the dust bins the refuse which the chiffoniers have discarded. From 8:80 to 11 they are again at work sweeping, cleaning, watering and flushing the gut- ters, till these almost assume the form of little mountain torrents. From 11 till 1 they leave off for dejeuner, and then they are hard at work again cleans- ing streets and benches, and in winter, from 7 till 9 p. m., it is their duty once more to throw gravel over the wood and asphalt pavements. -Good Words. To Publish a Newspaper. To publish a newspaper requires the skill, the precision, the boldness, the vigilance, the strategy of commander-in-chief. To edit a newspaper requires that one be a statesman, an essayist, a geographer, a statistician, and, in acquisition, encyclop- edic. To man to govern, to propel a news- paper until it shall be a fixed institution, a national fact, j demands more qualities than any business on earth. If you feel like starting any newspaper, secular or religious, understand that you are being threatened with softening of the brain or lunacy, and, throwing your pocket -book into your wife's lap, start for some insane asylum before you do something desperate. -Dar.
