Strength of Greek Soldiers.

The physical superiority Of the
ante-Alexandrisn Greeks to the har-
diest and most robust nations OF
modern times is perhaps best illus
trated by the military statistics Of
XeDophon According 10 the author
of the "Anabasis," the complete ac-
eoutrements of the Spartan soldier,
in what we would call heavy march
ing order, weighed seventy-fve
pounds, exclusive of the camp, min
ing and bridge building tools, and
the rations of bread and dried fruit
which were issued in weekly install
ments, and increased the burden of
the infantry soldier to ninety-fve
or even full hundred pounds This
load was often carried at the rate of
four English miles an hour for twelve
hours per diem, day after day; and
only in the burning deserts of south
ern Syria the commander of the
Grecisn auxiliaries thought it pru-
dent to shorten the usual length of a
days march by one-fourth. The
gymnas;ic tests applied by the sys-
tarchs, or recruiiing-oficer Of pick
ed corps, would seem more preposter-
.ous to the uninformed exouisites 81

the I.udIcrous sides of Life


The dextrcns leap of thought, by
which the mind escapes from a seem
ingly hopeless dilemma, il worth al
the vestments of dignity which the
world holds. IL was this readiness
in repartee which continually saved
Noltaire from social oyerturn. lie
once praised another writer very
heartily to a third person. 'lt Is
very strange" was the reply. "that
you speak so well of him, for be
says that you are charlatan."
"Oh," replied Voltaire, II think il
very likely that both of Us may be
mistaken"
Again, you must have heard the
anecdote of the young gentleman
who was discoursiDg very dogmatic-
ally about the appropriate sphere OF
woman. And pray, sir" screamed
out an old lady, "what is the appor-
pirate sphere of woman 2" "a celes-
tial sphere, madam"
Robert Hall did not lose his pow
er of retort even in madness. A
hypocritical condoler with his mis-
fortunes once visited him in the mad
house, and said, in a whining tone,
What brought you here, Mr.. Hall 2"
Hall significantly touched his brow
with his finger, and replied, "What'll
never bring you, sir-too much
brain 2"
A rapid change from enthusiasm
to nonehalance is often necessary in
society. Thus a person once elo-
quently eulogizing the angelic quail
ties Of Joan of Arc, was suddenly
met by the petulant question. "What

was Maid of Orleans

OF the lightning telegraph, ard asked
how long it would take to transmit a
message to Washington "Ten minu-
ties" was the reply. "I can't wait"
was his rejoinder
Sheridan was never without q
reason--never failed to extricate
himself in any emergency by his wit
At country house, where he was
once on visit, an elderly maiden
lady desired to be his companion in
a walk. He excused himself at first
on the ground of the badness of the
weather. She soon afterward, how
ever, interrupted him in an attempt
to escape without her. well" she
