ANCIENT WARFARE.
An Egyptian Battalion in14oo nc.

An Egyptian Battalion in 400 n. C.
Gen. Stone in Journal Of Military Service Insti
tuition Of the United States
The formation of the battalion for
combat was as follows:
The one hundred captains formed
the front ranks of the battalion. and
each captain had his one hundred
men IN file behind him, corporal at
the head of each nine men. The
chief of each 1000 men was in front
of the center of his companies, 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, by
two horses In the chariots Were car
ried a supply of javelins and arrows
for the use of the chief, who usually
had in the chariot with him a soldier,
who held a buckler to cover him from
the arrows of the enemy, while he
dealt about HIM with bows and
spears.
Ia the early day and down to the
time of SeS0StriS, the officers and non
commissioned officers carried bucklers
and swords, while the private soldiers
of infantry carried each a buckler
and battleax. Sometimes a battle.
ak was accompanied by, and some
times replaced by a spear
1t is easy to see that Moses drew
from the military organization Of
Egypt that which he adopted for the
Israelites, and later ON the Greeks
their formations. Both these nations
took their first lessons in civilization
and organization from Egypt
In the earliest monuments and rec
ords of the Egyptian army there is
no sign of the existence of the horse
as a military animal, while in the
monuments of the eighteenth dynasty
the war-horse is everywhere indicat-
ed. 1t is probable that the war-horse
was first introduced by the shepherd
kings, who came in from Syria about
LOO years ago It's certain that the
horse formed an important agent in
the military establishment of Egypt,
under the legitimate kiags of the
country, l, roo years before Christian
era, and the lack of monuments erect
ed during the first 500 years Of suug
gle between the shepherd kings and
the Thebans explains easily the lack
of record on this subject. Sesostrils
had at one time 20, war chariots
in line, drawn by horses.

Little Things of Great Importance
Western VIE. Farmer.


Infectious diseases are supposed to
spread by germs, or microscopic
plants, which enter the lungs and
blood of persons who come within
their reach. The time of absorbing
these germs to their termination,
varies in different maladhes Other
organisms lead similar course The
puffball, when matured and ruptur-
ed, throws out millions of cells or
germs. The pollen of the pine tree
flowers float and spread far around.
And thus the germs Of infection float
and deposit themselves on persons
and things. On wooden garments
they retain life for years. These ex-
tremely small bodies are called by the
general term Bacteria. Forty thous-
and of these Bacteria, placed end to
end. will not reach more than an
inch
Size is not always the measure of
Importance. Many q housewife has
found her bread, nearly new, covered
with light coating of the most deli
cate substance. The bread-mould is
one of that low order OF plants known
to botanis as Fungi. The mush-
room, noted for its rapid growth, is
q member of this group. The primer
pal part of a toadstoel, or putfball, is
below ground, or within the substance
bearing the fungus, and consists Of
very fine threads. These filaments
are of simple structure, branches free
", and run in all directions through
the substance from which the fungus
is deriving its nourishment. The
umbrella-like cap formed on the
stalk, bears on It's under side vast
numbers Of small oval bodies called
spores, which correspond with the
seeds of higher plants, though more
simple in structure.
With this knowledge of one of the
larger forms of fungi, we are ready to
return to the bread mould. This
fungi is much smaller than any toad
stool, and similar substances. The
fine threads, much finer than spider
webs, grow very rapidly when the
bread is moist, and the air is filled
with hot vapor. Somewhat like the
mushroom, the breadmould sends It's
ulautllt al through tu@ ouDe t0ilc0
upon which it is living, and when 1t
has grown sufficiently, it sends up
stalks to the surface, and upon these
mulutudes of spores are borne on the
tips Of branching threads; these,
when mature, are blush in color, and
give the bread a blue coating not
easily mistaken after having been
once seen. The writer viii not soon
forget the bad influence this sans
blue mould has upon cream cakes.
The fungus had thriveu for some
time upon the creamy interior, while
all without was fair to look and bite
upon. But there is another side TO
this subject, which we hope to give IN
the near future.

A HORRIBLE SPECTACLE.
A Wan SuKorfng from Hydrophobiatn
the Center of crowd.
st. Louis Republican.

4 man of fair appearance walked
along Washington avenue, near sixth,
yesterday evening about 6 o'clock.
He seemed an ordinary man to an OBJ
server if anyone observed him, but all
of sudden he became movable cen
ter Of a movable crowd of horrllied
people
He dropped TO The ground and ran
about on all-fous with his eyes fixed
and filmy, and he barked and snarled
ike an Infatuated dog, showed his
teeth, and every time he opened hls
lips the saliva dropped out to tine
ground The horrible fact dawned
upon the group that here was a real
case of hydrophobia, and there was 3
general thrill of terror as the man
Jumped around.
Two policemen were called, ana
they arrived just as he was quoting
down. The officers exercised consld-
cradle care in getting hold OF HIM IN
a manner which would insure safety
against bite. The hoodlum wagon
was called, and in it he was driven 70
the city dlspensary, the fit meantime
passing away and the victim becom
ing quiet, and lying painting and pros
trated upon the foer Of the police
conveyance.
At the dispensary the nan was
transferred from the patrol wagon TO

1t hurts me. Handcuff them in front
and strap me down as tight as you can
without hurting me. Be quick about
it, too"
The handouts were changed as re-
quested, and hardly had he been Sc
curely strapped to the floor of the am
bulance when he was seized with am
other tit of what Drs. Epstein and
Dorsett pronounced a genuine case Of
rabies or hydrophobia. He was driven
rapidly to the city hospital, and had
several alternate spells Of quiet and
madness during the drive. The 6river
noticed that every time a gust of cool
ar went through the ambulance the
barking commenced, and then the vic
tim would lie down and say it was all
over. When being taken out of the
ambulance ne was very violent. and
made frantic efforts to bite the two
men who held him.
1t seemed that during the spell the
man lost all semblance of humanity
except the form, and was in everything
else a mad dog His suffering was
terrible, and perhaps he suffered more
during his lucid intervals than during
the spells

4 Tame Indian Girl.

The old Beadle's dime novels are
cast into the shade compared with
some of the r7al lite sketches of the
Indian girls in the Lincoln Institu-
ton school at Wayne, Mr. Chlld's
summer town, on the Pennsg lvania
railroad. There is bright and very
interesting Indian girl named Lizzie
Spider, the last being her fathers
name, which she assumed, a custom
the girls nearly all follow A few
years she was at the Indian school at
Carlisle, a pupil, where she learned
considerable. When she went back,
during the summer vacation, her
father sold her TO a young Indian brave
for a number of ponies, which is the
accustomed form of marriage among
the Sioux. She had just received
enough education to revolt against
ne savage life that was to be thrust
upon her, so she ran away and lived
for many months hidden in the woods,
going by stealth occasionally to the
hut of friends to get supplies of food
During his last visit to Yankton, Capt.
Pratt heard of her, and after a search
found her and brought her back with
Kim and put her IN the Lincoln
School, where she now is. She says
she doesn't want to be sold for
ponies and cook and work for a savage

Had No Back Teeth.
Philadelphia Times

Two young ladies were talking and
laughing in a well-hlled Chestnut
street car few days ago and little
gnl, three years old perhaps, eyed
them with wonder from the opposite
side Finally she concluded that
they were laughing at her, and she
turned to her father as if to ask his
protection. He was paying no at
tention, and she decided to take her
own part.
What are you laughing at. " she
asked reproachfully of one of the
ladies Everybody smiled at this and
the ladies laughed aloud.

But what is she laughn' at, par

well, YOU make her stop laughin'.
If you don't Til laugh back at her.
Here a tttter ran through the car,
and the two mirthful young ladies
could not restrain themselves. They
laughed heartily, and the child stared
at them as If about to cry, But present
ly her face changed to pure astonis-
ment, and she gazed mt one of the
ladies as if she were a show. She
seemed to be trying TO sec down her
throat. Look, pa, look she eN
claimed pointing. Everybody did
look, and the young lady ceased
laughing and closed her lips tightly

"She amt got hardly any back

The young lady blushed crimson,

Love is the foundation Of all obedi-

into mere casuistry. Love IS the
foundation sf all knowledge. With
ont it religion degenerates into a chat
teriss about Moses and doctrines and
theories a thing that will neither kill
nor make alive, that never gives life to
single soul or blessing to a single
heart, and neverput strength into any
hand ia the conflict and strife of daily
life.
