How Wade Hampton Used Cigars.

Wade Hampton never smoked cigars
In n rational way like the rest of man
kind. Instead he took the cigars as he
bought them and crushed them to pow
der betwee1 the palms of his hands
and made use of the fragments as the
old regime use snuff. The coarse bits
were thrown away. and in the military
committee room. of which he was so
long an occupant. there was always n
pile of cigar shavings on the floor be-
side his chair. The finest cigars in the
market were none too good to be treat
ed this way, and more than one genu-
Inc cigar smoker has been moved to ex-
postulation as he has seen Hampton
dispose of fine weed in such an uncer-
enormous way.

Its Formation I'm the Military Meth
od- OF Ancient Greece.

A phalanx in the military affairs of
Greece was a square battalion or body
oil soldiers formed i'm ranks and files
compact and deep with their shields
Joined and pixies crossing each other so
as 10 render il almost impossible to
break IL. AZ first the phalanx consisted
OF 1000 men. but this number was aft.
erward doubled by Philip of Macedon,
and the double phalanx is hence often
called the Macedonian phalanx. Poly
bus describes ii thus:
at was square OF pikemen, con-
sistlng Of IL in flank and 800 in front.
The soldiers stood so close together
that the pixies Of the fifth rank extend
cd three feet beyond the front. The
rest, whose pixies were not seryiceable
owing 10 their distance from the front,
couchcd them upon the shoulders OF
those who stood before them and, SO
locking them together in file, pressed
forward TO support and push on the
former rank. by which means the as
sault was rendered more violent and
Irresistible" The spears of those be-
hind also stopped the missiles of the
enemy. Ench mans pike was twenty
ihree rc long The word phalanx is
also used for any combination of peo-
Die distinguished for solidity and firm
moss. 4 grand phalanx consisted OF
1854 men.
