fore Frederick one hundred and thirty
years ago ordered his troopers always
to attack. and while he discounte-
nanced the use of carbines, gave them
the necessary support which fire lends,
by organizing light artillery to at
tend their movements.
Napoleon has told us that cavalry
cannot reply to fire, and can only fight
with the Steel" and fully recognizing
where lay the weakness of his horse
men, he gave them an auxiliary in the
shape of horse artillery which, so far
from hampering their movements,
added to their boldness and enterprise
when acting independently ahead of
his vast armies. The co-operat ton of
the two arms was also then found to
work in another direction to the benefit
of both, for while projectiles loosen
compact formations and render the at
tack of squadrons more dangerous, the
cavalry force the scattered units to
draw together and present an easier
target for the guns. Especially was

NAILED TO CHURCH DOORS.
Remnants of Human Skin Played from the
Backs of Transgressors.

Remnants OF Human Skin Flayed from the
Backs of TransgressOrs.
There are many traditions handed
down that the doors of certain of our
oldest churches had been covered with
human skin hayed from the bodies of
transgressors who had been guilty of
the sin of sacrilege. Some years ago
Sir Harry Englefield first called the at
tention of the Society of Antiquaries to
the existence of such a tradition re-
garding the churches of Hadstock and
Copford, in Essex; and Hon. Rich
ard Neville, in his antigua Explor-
sta," affirms the record preserved by
popular belief in those parishes.
1t appears that similar tradition
was held in Worcester in relation to
the great north doors of the cathedral
supposed to have been covered with
the skin of person who had robbed
the high altar
The skin, on examination by a power
full microscope, proved to be human
skin. Portions of skin obtained from
the church doors at Hadstock and Cop
ford have also, on scientific eXamina-
ton, been shown to have been human.
Mention is made by Pepys, in his diary,
of a visit, in 1861, to Rochester cathe-
dral, to see the skins of the Danes, with
which the doors, as it was then be-
lieved, were covered. London An

THE PRIME MERIDIAN.
Curious Things Connected with the Pacii
Claimant for the Honor.

Curious Things Connected with the Pacific
Claimant for the Honor.
Efforts are still being made to secure
the adoption by the leading nations of
the earth of a single prime meridian.
England urges the claims of Green
wich, principally on the ground of
commercial supremacy, but to this the
reply is made that scientific and not
commercial reasons ought to prevail in
the settlement of such question.
1t was chiefly the unwillingness of
England to accept the metre in place
of the yard as a standard of length,
and to adopt the other standards of the
scientific metric system, that defeated
a very promising effort toward the Sc
lection of universal prime meridian a
few years ago.
The principal rival on the European
continent of the Greenwich meridian is
that of Paris, and the French agreed
to abandon the use of the meridian of
Paris if the English would legally
adopt the metric system. This the En-
glish failed to do.
The French now champion the me-
ridian of Behring's straits as the proper
zero of longitude. This lies on the arbi-
trary line, passing through the Pacific
ocean, that by general consent has been
chosen to mark the place where the
day begins, or in other words, where
the day changes its name.
There are some curious things con-
nected with this line When a ship
crosses it coming from the east the
captain skips or drops a day in his
reckoning as he passes the line. Sup
pose it were noon on Sunday when he
reached the line: it would be noon on
Monday the instant he had crossed it
Approaching from the west, on the
other hand, the captain would go back
day in his reckoning.
It might thus happen that one day
Of the week would be stretched over
forty-eight hours Suppose the ship,
approaching from the west, reached
the line at midnight on Sunday. The
moment it was over the line the cal en-
dar would be put back to midnight on
Saturday. Another Sunday would
then begin, and continue, of course, for
twenty-four hours longer. So, on board
that ship, it would be Sunday for forty
eight successive hours
Indeed, perhaps some of cur readers
will see how it takes more than forty
eight hours to pass one day in crossing
the Pacific ocean--Youth's Companion

COLUMBUS, O., April 23.-Chairman

was busy yesterday comparing press
dispatches and newspaper reports OF
the big strike with information at
hand. His revised estimate shows
that more men have struck in the
competitive district and fewer in
the outlying districts than an
ticipated, but the total number of
men remains about the same as given
Saturday OOO In Illinois he states
there are $4,000 out of 80, coo idle; In
diana, 5000 out of about $1,000 and in
West Virginia, 1000 out of 5000
Conventions are to be held in Hi
nois and West Virginia Tuesday
next, when efforts will be made to
bring all the men in line. Presi-
don't Mcbride expects definite informa-
ton by letter from nearly every dis
trict to-day. There seems to be no
doubt but that the suspension in Ohio
and western Pennsylvania is about
complete. The organizers are most
active in West Virginia and Illinois.
No reports have been received of any
disturbances, and none are expected,
as friendly feeling seems to prevail.
QUIET AT PITTsBURG, KAN.
PIrTsRURG, Kan, April % Thus far
there has been no strike among the
miners here. A few agitators have
made their appearance, headed by j.
M. Lacy, ex-secretary of the local as
sembly of the Umwa, who took such a
prominent part in the strike here last
year. He is followed by few of the
malcontents of last years campaign.
They, under the direction of T. b. Nc
Gregor, are working quietly among the
miners, but with little success, how
ever.
A meeting was held at shaft 9, Weir
City, yesterday, the result of which
was unsatisfactory to the agitators- A
meeting was held at Frontenac by the
miners to discuss the strike question.
and they decided that as they received
no assistance from the national organ
ization to win their strike last year.
consequently did not feel under obi
cation to assist the national organiza
ton in their strike. They will not go
out unless a pressure of some kind
should be brought to bear later on.
