Form ation Borrowed by Wallace
 From the -Ienojnus


 The greatest of all Scottish anniver- saries is that of Bannockburn, fought in the year 1914. Apart from it's bear ing on the independence of Scotland, the battle will always have an excep- tional interest from the military point of view. as Bannockburn may be said to have been the birthplace of the British square. .'Proud Edwards" army mainly consisted of cavalry, while that of the Scots, on the other hand, was almost exclusively composed of foot folk armed with the spear. and these Bruce threw into "Schil- troms. or oblong squares, a formation borrowed by Wallace from the Elem ings. who had employed it with suc- cess at Courtray to resist the charge of the English cavalry
 Hitherto the mounted mail clad knight had carried everything before him, but Courtray and Bannockburn proved that he was powerless to break resoute spear armed infantry drawn up ill "schiltrom," or hedgehog, forma- lion, and these two battles revolution izcd the tactics of the continent and of our own island. Profiting by the lesson which had been taught them at Bannockburn. the English applied the tactics of the Scots with brilliant success at Crecy and still more at Agincourt. As it was the Scots who may he said 10 have originated the British square at Bannockburn. so it was they again who at Balakava were the first to discard it with their thin red line, and now, owing to our changed conditions of warfare, it is discarded London Chron- irlp

MOHAMMEDANS OF INDIA.
Superstition Seems to Govern Most of

Their Actions.
 Moha of India .are very SuperslitiouS. No Mohammedan will take bath on Sunday or Tuesday.

For donning new clothes Saturday. Sunday and Tuesday are regarded as bad days. If any one donS q new dress or puts on a new cloth or allows his tailor to cut piece of cloth on these days. he will live d miserable life till that dress or cloth gets torn or is thrown away. If shirt is torn and if the wearer wants to stitch il. il must be taken off. for if it is stitched while on the body the person will soon die. A Moham- medan will never allow a barber to come near him on Tuesdays, for Tues days and Saturdays and Sundays are bad days for shaving If absolutely necessary he will get himself shaved on Saturday or Sunday. but never on Tuesday, as his star is supposed to fall iu blood if he does SO If one receives money or some valuable thing, it is taken with the right hand, for if it is taken with the left the person re- ceiving it is said to forget all about 1t very soon or to mislay it. A de- yout Nj cha mmedan will not start on q journey on Wednesday,, for it is be- lieved he will never return home safe ly if he does SO And it is said that even snake never ventures out of it's hole on this day.
