SOMETHING ABOUT ARMIES,
Artillerymen Were Once Regarded
N. a1nob.,,;c. Nnt SnIIiars

Artillerymen Were Once Regarded
as Mechanics, Not Soldiers.
Until the time of Charles MI of Swe-
den the artillery was not considered a
part of the army The men serving in
it were not soldiers, but regarded as
| mechanics. The officers had no army
rank. Charles Mi gave artillery Off
GERS a rank and regularly organized the
artillery into companies The battle Of
Pavia demonstrated the superiority Of
the gun in the hands of the Spanish
infantry The musket carried Il two
ounce bali and sometimes brought
down at one fire two or three mailed
knights. The French sent a flag Of
truce to demonstrate against the use Of
such barbarous weapons. y
Alexander had four kinds of cavalry
the cataphrnti, or heavy armed horse;
the light cavalry, carrying spears and
very light arlnor; the acrobalista, or
mounted archers, used for outposts, pa
trolls and accommodating duty, and the
1 dimachoe, or troops expected to act Ell
Their as cavalry or infantry. Alexander
the Great reorganized his fathers ar

the unit; two files made dilochy;
two dilochies made a Hierarchy; two
tetrarchies q teXiarchy; two of these a
syntagura; IS of these small phalanx;
four of these tetra- phalangarchy, 9th
erwise known as a large phalanx.
i The Greeks attacked in phalanx,
the spears interlocked and shields over
tapping. After the first onset the spears
were dropped, and the day was decid-
ed with the sword. The cavalry at
tackled the enemy in the rear, il posi-
bic. and. in case of victory, undertook
the pursuit.-Pearson's Weekly.

There is a we'll known legal light of
Chicago who is in deep disgrace with
out the shadow of an excuse for him
self to bolster up his sinking spirits.
He Went out to Hyde, Park the other
night to dine informally with some
friends, and his hostess, who had been
married but 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 libra
~, and the biggest, most padded leath-
er chair was put at the guests dispos-

ernous, depths and prepared, fora luXu-
rious evening with a good cigar ahead
of him. Brilliantly his hostess rambled
on. She told stories that We're 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 dead silence punctuated only by
a gentle and regular breathing. The
judge was fast asleep in his big chair.
There was no doubt OF il. Nothing
could conceal the fact. With one in
dignant and comprehensive glance at
her plainly delighted husband she

And she did not 50 down again.
1t was sorne rinie later when her

To the Sunday School Workers
Of Wayne County:

10 tHe SUNDAY SchOOl Workers
Of Wayne County:
The time for Township Suns
day School Conventions is at
hand, and the people have learns
ed the value Of the convention
because it demonstrates the
great value and necessity for
Suday schools.
Already the conventions of
Grantham's and Fork townships
have been held. They were both
largely attended, and much ia-
terest and zeal manifested. They
are doing a great work.
Following is the time and plscs
for the other conventions:
Plkeville township, June 10 b,
at Pleasant Grove.
Saulston +" I" ooh, at Hoods

please notify me and I will aid
you to effect a change.
l desire that each individual
teacher and officer will exert
themselves 10 make their classes
and school far better than eve-
before. And let your annual re-
port show tue mproYement. We
should not be satisfied to stand
still, but ever strive to reach per~
fer tiop. There is not any other
agency at work among US calcu-
lated to elevate the morals, and
ennoble the character of both the
old and young as the Sunday
school. Il is the place where wa
study and ponder over Gods
word a book, which when stud
led, will give US the grea test
freedom of thought, of action
and of conscience than all other
books combined.
A knowledge of it's percepts
is indispensable to good citizen
ship and to great man in this
enlightened christian age, aud it
is marvellous to witness the ut
ter ignorance Of the masses Of
the people of the simplest facss
recorded in it's pages. Then let
US renew our efforts to impart a
knowledge which is of so great
value.
The delegates from the county
at the last State convention,
which was held at Aigh Point,
pledged $50 for Wayne county to
the support of the State work, of
which Bro. J. w. Bryan is field
secretary. sAnd to meet this
pledge, I must ask each school
to donate &c. for each enrolled
scholar and 1Oc for each officer
and teacher. Please see after this,
superintendent, aud send your
remittances to G. E. Hood, treas
urer.
All who wish any information
which I can give or obtain will
please notify me. The county
convention will be held O,t. 11th
