DepIorabIe Ignorance.

General John Mcneil, who was a
brother-in-law of President Pierce and
major general of the New Hampshire
militia at one time, is said to have been
considerably incensed when he met any
one who appeared to be ignorant of the
wounds and honors he had won on the
field of battle.
During the war with Great Britain he
was shot while mounted ON his faithful
horse, receiving a severe wound in the
knee, which caused him to walk stiffly
for the rest of his life.
Chow did you hurt your knee, gen
eral?" asked a young man whom the old
officer characterized as "whipper
snapper" one day from "A certain lack of
respectfulness in his air and manner.

The study of domestic cattle should
be of especial interest to us because they
have undoubtedly occupied more i'm
portant place in our own ancestral his
tory than any other species of animal.
The Aryan tribesmen from whom nearly
all western civilization folk are de-
scended were cowboys almost to a man.
Like the Kaflirs and damaras of South
Africa today, all their thoughts We're
about their herds. This is shown i'll a
curious way by the study of the early
development Of our language. The San
skirt word for king meant originally "a
chief herdsman. ~ The word for an as
sembly, or the meeting place Of con-
gress, was the same as that for cow
yard. A soldier was lone who fights
about cows" 1t would seem as if they
regarded nothing else as worth ruling
over or talking about or fighting for.
Professor Max Muller traces the word
daughter" to the ancient term for a
milkmaid. In the good old times they
plainly did not take any account of
young ladies who were not accomplished
performers in the cowpen.
The COW or OK was for long ages the
chief standard of value. Everything,
from q new coat to u new wife, was
priced at so many cows. Many of our
words which refer to money bear traces
of this, such as fee" and "pecuniary,"
which are directly derived from the old
English and Latin words for cattle
