SOMETHING ABOUT ARMIES.

mechanics. The officers had no army

GERS a rank and regularly organized the
artillery into companies. The battle OF
Payia demonstrated the superiority OF
the gun in the hands of the Spanish
infantry. The muSket carried two
ounce ball and sometimes brought
down Mt one fire two or three mailed
knights. The French sent flag or
truce to demonstrate against the use of
such barbarous weapons.
Alexander had four kinds Of cavalry
the cataphrHti, or heavy armed horse;
the light cavalry, carrying spears ana
very light armor; the acrobaliSt4, or

The Greeks attacked in a phaIanX,

He went out to Hyde Park the other
night to dine informally with some
friends. and his hostess, who had been
married but a short time, put herself
out to entertain him. The dinner was
excellent, and the judge did full JUS
tice to it. They had coffee in the lOra-
~, and the biggest, most padded Ieath-
err chair was put at the guests dlspos-
al. With q sigh he sank into its cav
ernous depths and prepared for a luXu-
rious evening with good cigar ahead
of him. Brilliantly his hostess ramoled
on. She told stories that were Witty,
and she gently deferred to his VIEWS
but presently he left her to do all the
talking. In the midst of a striking ac-
count of a theater party she stopped
with a jerk. There was no response
and q dead silence punctuated only by
a gentle and regular breathing. Ile
Judge was fast asleep in his big chair.
There was no doubt of it. Nothing
could conceal the fact. With one in
dignant and comprehensive glance at
her plainly delighted husband she
arose and majestically swept up stairs
And she did not go down again.
1t was some time later when her
husband apologetically came up after
her. He had not expected her wrath
to last. "Did-did you think you were
badly treated?" he asked.
How long did he sleep! asked the
still insulted wife.
Again the grin overspread her nus
bands face, but he spoke in sad tone,
as befitted the occasion. NEARLY an

practically.
Then it was the worm turned.

And she wept.-Chicago News.
