The Glacial Period.

The term glacial period" during
which large portions of the earth w ere
covered with ice, is especially applied
to the close of the tertiary period, when
nearly all of Europe experienced an
arctic climate. and whole races of men,
animals and plants were driven south
or destroyed. This cold snap COM
menced 100000 years ago and lasted
100000 years. Science says it was
caused by the increased eccentricity of
the earth's orbit influencing oceanic
currents, and that we have cold spells
from the same cause every 1900
years. Darwin believed it because it
enabled him to account for the similari-
ty of plants and animals found in
America, Africa, Europe and Australia.
and also explained what become of the
races Of men that inhabited Europe
24O, 900 years ago, Of whom vestlges are
traced down to 0,000 years. There have
been cold waves occurring at intervals
since. but that glacial period was thu
longest and coolest winter on record. =

An Egyptian Battalion 400 b. C.

The formation of the battalion fol-
combat was as follows:
The 100 Captains formed the front
rank of the battalion, and each Captain
had his 100 men in file behind him. a
Corporal at the head of each nine men.
The chief of each LOO men was in
front of the center of the two COM
panies, while the Colonel commanding
the grand battalion was in front of its
center.
The leaders were not mounted on
horseback, but were mounted in two
wheeled chariots drawn usually bv two
horses. In the chariOts were carried a
supply of javelins and arrows for the
use of the chief. who usually had in the
chariot with him soldier. who held a
buckler to cover him from the arrows
of the enemy, while he dealt about him
with his bow and spears.
In the early DAYS, and down to the
time of Sesostris, the officers and nom
commissioned officers carried bucklers
and swords, while the private soldiers
of Infantry carried each buckler and
a battle-aX. Sometimes the battle AK
was accompanied by. and sometimes re-
placed by, spear.
1t is easy to see that Moses drew
from the military org nzation of Egypt
that which he adopted Tor the Israeltes,
and later on the Greeks their forma-
tons. Both these nations took theiI
first lessons in civilization and organi-
zation from Egypt.
In the earl est monuments and rec
ords of t. Egyptian army there is no
sign of the existence of the horse as Il
military animal, while in the monu-
ments of the eighteenth dynasty, the
war-horse is everywhere indicated. 1t
is probable that the war-horse was first
introduced by the Shepherd Kings, who
came in from Syria about 400 years
ago. 1t is certain that the horse formed
an important agent in the military es-
Enlistment of Egypt, under the legits
innate Kings OF he.country, LOO years
before the Christian era, and the lack
of monuments erected during the SOC
years of struggle between the Shepherd
Kings and the Thebans explains easily
the lack of record on this subject.
Sesostris had at one time 10000 war
chariots in line drawn by horses.-Gen-
eral Stone, an Journal Military Service
Institution of the United States.

Militia and MObS.

In most riots the neglect of few
simple principles by both civil and
military authorities has caused most Of
the bloodshed. The militia should be
assembled promptly. If this is delayed
their armories may be surrounded and
their assemblage prevented. Besides,
the knowledge that troops are in readi-
ness strengthens the police and int mi
dates the mob. They should not be
paraded until the last moment. The
bayonet and rifle are deadly weapons,
and not suited for mere police work.
But as soon as there is danger of the
police being overpowered the militia
should march to their aid, and then
all sentimentality should be dispensed
with.
A mob is a gang of law breakers,
with the criminal class coming to the
top as it gains power; and the very ex-
istence of society depends upon its be-
ing promptly but down. Halfway meas
ures are cruelty. Any militia officer
who permits his men to be shot or
stoned without resistance deserves a
court martial. A mob never appreciates
forbearance. Blank cartridges simply
inspire them to fresh assaults. Firing
in the air has the same effect, besides
killing innocent people at a distance.
Volleys are seldom necessary, TO de-
tail few sharp-shooters to pick off the
leading aggressors is far preferable. If
the thrower of the first brick is shot, as
a rule no more will be thrown. Four
shots at Cincinnati which killed four
leaders dispersed the mob that attacked
Powells' gun store. The same
number fired with like effect would
have scattered that which attacked
the Jail, if they had been the first
which had been fired by the
troops. 1t must be remembered that
no troops will stand being stoned
or being shot at without firing in return.
If the officers wait too long Gas was the
case ia the Orange riots in New York;,
some one is sure to fire without orders.
bringing on general fire which I'M
necessarily destroys many lives. The
troops should not allow themselves to
be besieged. Strong detachments
should traverse the streets, ding the
police in dispensing all crowds and in
clearing the streets. The mob, when
once broken, will never again collect.
If the militia are strong and well dis
ciplined, and it is understood distinctly
that they will permit no trih;ng, their
mere appea Hance is usually sufficient.
If their condition is such that the mot
do not fear them. many lives have to
be sacrificed before peace can be restor-

An AppetiZing Table.

In food, as in medicine, new pre-
scriptions are offered and old advice
discarded constantly; and this is I'M
avoidable while the science of human
life is involved in obscurity. and empiri-
cism is our only guide. Probably we
err in jumping to conclusions too read
:ly, and trying to make test of in
dividual exper ence, or that of nations,
allowing too little for modifying cir
cumstances. Rules for diet, therefore.
may properly be dispensed with much
ditfidence, knowing how readily they
may be controverted The effort to
reach the best physical condit on and
conform to the highest authority is
creditable; and we do well to notice
what seems to agree with us best. what
gives us most buoyancy and strength,
hough it serves only as a rule for our
selves. not for others.
But one can live we'll on vegetables.
and set beautiful and appetizing
able. Vegetarianism implies absti-
nence from flesh and blood, leaving us
milk, cream, eggs. with all the fruits
and vegetable abundance that our sea-
sons produce. From spring until late
n fall we can have substantial food
from our own gardens. as potatoes in
variety, early and late peas, beans of
various kinds, corn of several sorts with
Ill the dishes made of it; and all
through these months we can have
relishes in greens. spinach, dandelions,

"A grand festival was recently held

"A grand festival was recently held
in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in honor of
the emancipation of the slaves in Ceara.
The ceremonies were continued through
two weeks. The work of freeing the
slaves in Rio city is being rapidly
pushed, and it is expected that the 49,
900 slaves now held in Rio de Janeiro
will all be freed in two years. There
was great enthusiasm during the ''festi-
val of the redemption of Ceara," and
the name of the Emperor was hailed
with the widest acclamations and shouts
of ''Viva Brazil!' There are now about
100000 slaves in the empire. 'Ceara
is the first province to be entirely free.

bott, c. j., in referring to Faikney VS..

cases; and the distinction taken in the
former of them between nidlun prohi-
bitun and mdl,an in sc was expressly

1t may be well to observe that the
statute off Geo. H., under which these
decisions were made, has been repealed,
% Vict. C. 2S; and different decisions
may since have been made on the same
state of facts. The statute offs & Wet.
C. l09,merely makes a wagering contract
UOid, as under the statute of frauds, but
not illegal, and it has been held that a
person who helps another fulfil such a
void contract by loaning him money,
or paying an amount due another par
ty, may recover from the party for whom
the advance was made. Under this lat
ter statute, the case of Thacker Vs..
Hardy, % Am. Law Reg. 254, was de-
cided-but even that case seems to have
been decided on the presumption that
the principal had the right to call on his
brokers for the stocks contracted for.
Brownell, L. j., says: "When by time
bargain, you understand something diff
ferent in reality from which it imports
to be, and that, whereas, it purports to
be an agreement to deliver and sell an
article on particular day, it is really
no such agreement, but an agreement
to pay what shall be the difference be-
tween the price when the bargain was
made and the price at the future time
they name; such an arrangement is
something in the nature of a wager or
gaming on the question of what shall
be the price,"
ITO he continued
