Our PYanY Ancestors.


 The armJr of the knights of the mid de ages is too small for their modern descendants. Hamilton Smith records that two Euglishmen of average di- menslous found no suit large enough to fit either of them in the great col lection of Sir Samuel Meyrick. The head of the oriental saber will not ad- mt the English hand nor the bracelet of the Kamr warrior the English arm. The swords found lu Roman tumuli have handles inc0nveuienuy small and the great medtaevaI two handed sword Is now supposed to have been used only for oue OF two blows at the first onset md then exchanged for a small CT one. The statements mude by Hy- mer, Aristotle 0ld Y.uuyius represent six feet as a high standard for full grown men, and the irrefulable eYI- dence or the ancient doorways, bed steads and tombs proves the average size of the race certainly not to have diminished in modern days.-LOnd0n Hospital
