The Az.

The ak is of SO great antiquity
that its origin is lost, though the
Greek legends attribute it to one
of their mythicaI heroes. Stone
axes have been found in many coun-
tries. Iron axes have been discov-
cred in the Egyptian catacombs,
and axes of bronze have been found
in almost every land in Europe.
Flint axes, for wood cutting, were
in use among the Me1icans and 9TH
er Central and South American
tribes at the discovery of America.
The axes of ancient times were bad
ly made, having most of the weight
in front of the handle, being thus
uncertain of aim and ineffective in
cutting power. Battlea1es are rep
resented on the monuments of Mn
even and Babylon. The battleax
of Robert Bruce was so heavy and
used with such effect that, it is said,
at the battle of Bannockburn he

If you have pet bird, look at it
closely when it is asleep, and you
will see that it does not, as is gen.
orally believed, tuck its head under
it wing. You have heard all of
your life that a bird sleeps in this
way. but it does not; it turns it's
head and lays it on the soft and
yielding feathers ofits back, which
sometimes entirely hide it.
