what army was the strongest Of its
time? Judging by results, the Roman
army was 50 from the fifth century
B. G. onward until the division Of the
empire. Its fighting organization was
ms complete az and possibly more prac-
ticai than that Of any army of today.
II was based ON territorial system
which maintained the comradeshIp Of
locality without bringing II into an
tagonlsm with that Of the corps, for
each Of the thlrty-hve Roman ''trlbes"
was required to furnish TO each legion
four centuries Of 100 men. each Of
which worked together as local unit.
The legion was divided into fve co.
horts or bnttalions, of which three
were troops Of the line. two were a
kind OF militia and the fifth was de-
pot battalion. For almost eight centu-
ries the army thus constituted not only
conquered the then known world, but
acted ns explorers beyond Its limits
and at the same time made and un.
made kings and emperors In Rome It.

During the close OF the eighteenth
century the craze for gambling In Eng
land rose to an extreme. At certain
notorious clubs every incident was
made the subject of a wager, and thou.
sands changed hands over the verlest
trihe. A certain Mr.. Blake made him
self notorious by betting f1.500 that a
man could live twelve hours under
water. He hired daring fellow, and,
purchasing an old ship, they were
sunk together by way of settling the
bet. Neither ship nor man reappeared.
so Mr.. Blake had to pay up. The IA
nous Earl of Carlisle once stnked
$4,000 on single card at faro. On
one occasion at Brooks, another noted
gambling club, Lord Robert Spencer
lost the last shilling OF the fortune
which he had obtained from his broth
er, the Duke OF Marlborough, and
General Fitzpatrick was in the same
condition. The twain combined, and,
borrowing a sum OF money. they open
ed a faro bank. They had run Of
luck, and Lord Spencer's share of the
proceeds came to 100000. He pock.
eted this cash and never gambled

A GRATEFUL PATIENT.
The Coin That Was Measured by Q
Famous Suroeon,

DR.. Grenfell. an old London hospital
pupil. In sketch of Sir Frederick
Treves In the Pail Mall Gazette tells
the story Of tiny sovereign gold
piece given by grateful patient to
the famous surgeon and guarded by
him as q priceless treasure. A sailor
from Norway had been operated on by
Sir Frederick In hospital. His life had
been saved, and he had gone his way.
Late one evening timid knock
brought Sir Frederick himself at that
unusual hour to his door In Wimpole
street. A tall, gaunt sailor In thread
bare attire asked II this was where
"Mr. Treves lives" At his earnest re-
quest, though somewhat under protest.
he was allowed to enter. He at once
proceeded to get out jackknife. and
from the lining of the belt of his trou.
sers he cut out small gold piece and
offered II to Sir Frederick. On his re,
fusal to accept It the man was 80 hurt
that Sir Frederick listened to his story.
and an interesting one 1t was.
The man had on leaving hospital
