FAMOUS CAVALRY CORPS.
A Spirit Which Makes Fighting Not A
Trade, but ans Ispiration.
In the celebrated corps known as the
Guides Cavalry esprit de corps is more
than a word. It is a living part of the
regiment. Even the last Joined re
cruit feels no punishment so deeply as
the reproach.: " You do no credit to the
corps," and mature soldiers in very
shame voluntarily take their discharge
if so addressed by an officer.
Illustrative of the high value placed
on personal bravery in the guides as
against a Babu-like knowledge of the
drill book, two interesting instances
may be mentioned. There was on the
Yusafzai border a noted freelance
named Futteh Khan, who had a small
following of horsemen as bold and in
trepid as himself. Even the gallant
and resourceful Sir Harry Lumsden,
with his guides, could not bring this
man: to book, though oft he tried. At
last Lumsden struck at a unique solu
tion of the problem by deciding that he
would enlist, Futteh Khan and the
whole of his band! Accordingly a po
lite note was written saying that
Lumsden had the greatest respect for
the bravery and daring of Futteh Khan
and his band, and it was a pity that
they and the guides should continue a
bootless feud to the profit of neither,
and that he would make Futteh Khan
a ressaldar and take over the whole of
his band as it stood! Futteh accepted
the offer and he and his men served
with distinction for many years with
the guides, taking part in the historic
march to Delhi and doing yeoman ser
vice before its walls.
The other incident occurred when
Sir Francis Jenkins was Colonel. The
guides, with other troops, having made
a turning movement, dropped down
into Khyber Pass, in the rear of All
Musjid, so as to cut off the enemy's
retreat when the frontal attack should
be 'driven home. Among the first
batch or the Fugitives to come up .he
pass was a squadron of Afghan cav
alry, which, making a rush for it,
managed, with some loss, to run the
gauntlet and get through. One man
alone was seen quietly walking his
horse in the wake of the fugitives and
defiantly waving his sword in the.face
of the heavy fire of 800 rifles. How
he came not to be hit was a marvel,
but Sir Francis immediately ordered
the "Cease fire" to sound. The collo
quy which ensued was delightfully
unique. "Who are you?" said the
Colonel. "I am, Sultan Jan Kazilbash,
and I don't care a box of grapes for
you and the whole of your army."
"You are .a monstrously brave man,
anyway," said the Colonel, "will you
enlist in my regiment'" "Yes, I will,"
said Sultan Jan, "for I have heard of
you and the guides as brave warriors."
And enlisted he was on the spot, made
a Duffadar there and then, and after
ward served' with distinction through
the campaign. At the end of two years,
when the war was over, he went to
his Colonel and said: 'Z am a man of
war, and cannot face all the drill and
monotony of an Indian cantonment in
peace time; with your highness' per
mission Il will now take my discharge.:'
And away he went, a freeman born, and
as such determined to die.--Tlmes of
India.
He Got IIs Wooden Le Back.
The manager of a shop in Lewes
stood in the doorway the other day
when a man with a wooden leg and
a crutch came along and said:
"I want you to do me a favor. I want
to ,ea e my leg with you for a few
minntes and go around to the next
street and work a house forY half a
crown. I've an idea tne folks are, very
-y-mpathetic. If I go with one leg I'm
sure of it."
"Very well," said the shopkeeper,
"Just leave your leg here and I'll take
care of it."
The wooden substitute was unstrap
ped and handed over, and the cripple
used the crutch to help himself down
the alley;
Five minutes later he rang the door
bell of a house in the next street, to
hsav it opened by the man he had just
'"Wh;ih-wha-what!" he gasped.
'"ery. sympathetic family lives
bre," qulietly replied the other. "You
deei &havemet with a uad loss, and
',laxi~t us to help you. Here is a
woodei leg which mnay fit you."

FLIGHT OF BIRDS.'
Fhe Speed of Ducks and Swallows on
the Wing.
There has been some difference i,,
the conclusions of observers as to the
relative height above the earth and
more especially as to relative velocity
of movement in the semi-annual flight,
north or south, of some of our migra"
tory birds.
Judging from all that has been oh
served, it seems probable that the ve
locity of some of these far travelers
has been exaggerated.
Careful measurements by means ol
the cloud theodolites used by the ob
servers at the Meteorological station
it Blue Hill In Milton, a few miles
south of Boston, have shown that the
observed flocks of northward going
wild geese were at an elevation of 960
feet above the sea level, and that the
;eloclty of flight was 44.3 miles an
hour.
This also is about the height at
which a flock of wild ducks flew, and
their velocity was 47.8 miles an hour.
These velocities are nowhere the
speed with which wild ducks have been
credited, for these swift birds have
been said to fly at a rate exceeding 100
miles an hour.
That ducks do at times exceed the
rate noted by the Blue Hill observers
seems very probable, but it is by no
means certain that they ever fly at
such a velocity as 100.8 miles an hour,
is some observers have asserted.
Just what velocity would be requisite
n a duck striking the heavy, projecting
class of a lighthouse to drive his bill
lown his throat may be a difficult
problem, but the fact itself has been
noted, in the ease of at least a num
ber of one flock of ducks that had been
ivihl southward on their autumnal mi
,ne ngbt-house tower on Anastasia
Island, near St. Augustine, Fla.
Sweeping In the darkness of a cloudy
night, the ducks had followed the in
ereasing beam from the light and
lashed down upon the thick but clear
class wall with the effect above men
;ioned.
Very likely a velocity of 60 miles an
_our would suffice to drive a duck's
)ill down its throat, and it may be a
luestion whether the duck ever really
ly at a much greater velocity than
dxty to seventy miles an hour.
There are other migrating birds-no
tably the ssvallowvs-that seem to fly
at least as swiftly as the wild duck.
As to elevation, it seems probable that
few migrating flocks of any kind travel
at a greater height, except in going over
mountains, than about 1,000 to 1,500.
The smallness and indistinctness of
high-flying flock of geese, seemingly
so far up as almost to blend with the
gray sky alid to render their far cries
almost inaudible, would all be produced
if these large birds were flying at an
elevation no greater than 1,500 to 1,800
feet.
