ess Joan waiting at the fords of the
| Ala, which is the eastern border of
their province. There were not many
of them, but all good soldiers. The
| Courtlanders came on in myriads,
with Muscovites without number.
These last burned and slew all in
their path.
The men of Hohenstein being so
few and those of CORTLAND with their
allies so many, the river was over
passed both above and below the
fords. Whereupon | pressed it upon
Werner Won Orseln that he should re-
treat to place of greater hope and
safety, being thus in danger on both
TANKS
This Werner Won Orseln had fought
all the day, and, though most reckless
ly exposing himself, was still unhurt
His armor was covered with blood
and black with powder after the fash
ion of these wild hot-bloods. His face
also was stained, and when he spoke
it was in a hoarse whisper. The mat
ter of his discourse to us was this:
I can do no more My people are
dead, my powder spent They are
more numerous than the sea sands.
They are behind us and before. also
outfanking us on either side
"Then we advised him to set his
face to Hohenstein and with those who
were left TO him to retreat in that
direction We accompanied him. bear
ing in mind your royal commands. and
eager TO do all that in us lay to adj
vance the interests of amity.
''ln this manner the remnant of the
soldiers of the Duchess Joan reached
Kernsberg in safety-a result which,
we fiatter ourselves. was as much due
to the zeal and psrsuasiyeness Of
your ENJOYS as, to the skill and bra
very of Werner Won Orseln and the
soldiers of the Duchess.
And your humble servants will
ever pray for the triumph of peace
and concord, and also for an undis- |
turbed reign TO Your Highnesses

whereof we append our signatures

Her cargo, valued at n ore than a mil

Indeed. It would hardly be stretching
the facts TO say that ths morning which
saw the capture Of the San PHILIPPE saw
also the dawn OF our Indian empire.

RELATING TO IRON.
Discovery of the Metal, According "a
Various Authorities.

Discovery of the Metal, According to
Various Authorities.
The Bible speaks Of Tubal Cain as
the disccverer of iron and the father
Of smiths. The Egyptians imputed tc
Hephaestus the same honor. while Phi.
ny mentions 1t having been discovered
by Dactyles on Mount Ida after the
forests on the mountain side had been
destroyed by lightning. This was about
1,432 years B. G. Jeremiah and Eze-
kiei both mention iron in their Scrip
tural writings. the latter specially men.
tioning two qualities of the metal and
calling one bright iron, which was prob
ably steel.
Moses mentions an iron furnace, and
Job speaks Of It as being taken out Of
the earth. Thousands of years before
the opening Of the Christian era the
Egyptians used iron in making sickles,
knives and such things. Sparta first
used Iron for money. Britain also used
1t as a medium Of barter and exchange
prior to the conquest by the Romans.
The Britons before the time of Christ
used to export iron to Gaul, and after
the Roman conquest the conquerors es-
tablished extensive smelling works,
which existed at least as late as the
Saxon conquest-St James Gazette.

were just then at dinner, and his fan
cy was caught by some smoking dump
lings made Of coarse -four He tasted
them, liked them and asked for more
and when he got to Vienna. to the hor
ror Of the royal cooks, he ordered the
same dumplings to be served up daily
The courtiers were scandailzed that
such a coarse dish should figure or
the menu, and even his physicians re
monstrated against the use of suct
food.
The emperor had always been the
most plant Of men, but be now show
