Two-Handed Swords.

In the thirteenth, fourteenth and fi-
;eenth centuries the development of the
sword was carried forward rapidly.
Hitherto, the military organization oil
Furope had been of the most irregular
character. but in the fourteenth CEN
fury the German troops and the men
fr.na the Swiss mountains became
known far and wide for their thorough
discipIine and their excellent organiz-
alton. They approached more nearly
IA the modern notion of soldier than
anv troops that had yet been put in the
field. and they were employed AZ hired
froops bv the various European SOW
e-eigns. They were armed with
pistol and huge two-handed sword,
which. through their marvelousiy
skillfui handling, became one OF the
most famous weapons of the army.
This .tow-hander,r as the Germans
called il, often reached a length OF
seven feet, and one preserved in West
minister Abbey weighs quite eighteen
pounds.
The wavy outline ofthe blade, a style
Of decoration that was much in favor
in the arts about this time, and from
which came our word ''flamboyant'' or
Haming," gave greater efficacy to the
blow. The prongs below the cross
pieces protected the guard. Welded
bv trained men, this weapon was cap
able Of doing terrific execution. The
hrawny man-at-arms grasped the sword
firmly in both hands; balanced on one
foot. he swung the blade in a circle
above his head and fetched crashing
blow that moved down everything be-
fore il. 1t was favOrite weapon with
the English soldiery, to whose strongly
bailt frames its huge proportions were
well adapted. Richard the Lion
hearted, who from his great size alone
would have been the foremost man on
any field. handled this heavy weapon
with such strength and skill that his
name became Il terror TO the foe.
According to an old romance, an eX-
pert swordsman might hope to leave
sixty OF the enemy disabled on the
field; but these mighty brands had all
the faults of their virtues. Like the
cumbrous armor of the Gothic period,
they were a sore tax on the spent ener-
gies Of the weary soldier; and, owing
10 their awkward size, extreme care
was required in handling them lest an
unexpected blow might be bestowed
uaon some fellow-soIdier in the furious
assault. Besides, it took lifetime of
training to produce men of sufficient
strength and dexterity to render
effective =erYice.-.T. Nicholas.

VIII people never learn that ''cold"

promptly applied? There is 10 know
ing where the trouble will end; and
while complete recovery is the rule, the
exceptions are terribly frequent, and
thousands upon thousands Of fatal i'll
nesses occur every year ushered in by
a little injudicious exposure and SEEM
ingly trifling symptoms. Beyond this,
there are to-day countless invalids who
can trace their complaints TO ''colds,
which at the time OF occurrence gave
no concern, and were therefore neglect

Edison S Youth.

Samuel Edison, the father of the
inventor, who has just died, was very
proud of his son, but he used TO tell
visitors that in his boyhOod Tom was
not at all bright. ''Some folks thought
he was a little added" he said.
Teachers used to tell us TO keep him
in the streets, for he would never make
a scholar. All he ate went TO support
his brain, and not his body, and he
was puny. He was forever asking me
questions, and when would tell him i
didn't know he would ask: why
don't YOU knOw?n His mother was
splendidly educated and had great
natural ability, and he was very much
like her. .r--Nc1e York Tribune.

Use it In Time.

Catarrh starts in the nasal passages,
affecting eyes, ears and throat, and
is in fact, the great enemy of the
mucous membrane. Neglected colds
in the head almost invariably preeede
catarrh, causing an excessive flow of
mucus, and if the mucus discharge
becomes interrupted the disagreable
results of catarrh viii follow, such az
bad breath, severe pain across forehead
and about the eyes, a roaring and buz-
zing sound in the ears and oftentimes
a very offensive discharge. Eiy's
Cream Balm is the acknowledged cure
for these troubles.
