THE MILITARY SQUARE.
A Formation Borrowed by Wallace

The greatest of all Scottish anniver. Saries is that of Bannockburn, fough in the year 1914. Apart from it's bear ing on the independence of Scotland the battle will always have an ezcs.} tional interest from the military point of view, as Bannockburn may be saiG to have been the birthplace of tke British square.

Profting 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 be said to have originated the British square at Bannockburn, so it was they again who at Balaklava were the first to discard 1t with their thin red line." and now, owing to our changed conditions of warfare, it is discarded altogether.-London Chron- icln

The western part of Lincoln

there long before Phoebe was
thought of. 1t was the rich
deposits of Irish Mountain
which gave the incentive for
establishing Lincoln County,

Peculiar History Of "Blscksnnlth" Tt-

mismatlsts-0egan With Ne
esssIty for Small Change.

A good deal has been heard of late
years among coin collectors about the
70 called Blacksmith" tokens of
Canada. The unsatisfactory con-
dition Of the currency In Canada up
to comparatively recent times ex.
plains the reason for the issue of such
coins.
For many years the supply OF legal
copper coins had been altogether in
adequate. SO that often anything in
the shape of copper passed current
At the beginning of the nineteenth
century the only legal copper circu-
lating medium was an insult cierlt and
diminishing supply of worn out Brit.
ish half pence sent over from Eng
lend
little later this was supplemented
by a dSluge of imported private to-
kens. Their overabundance. accord
ing to q writer in the Numismatist,
soon caused them to be discredited
and stringent means were adopted to
prevent further importation of such
coin into Canada or its manufacture
there.
But as the necessity for an adequate
supply of small change became more
pressing. various ways for evading the
ockade were evolved One of these
was by making or importing tokens
which bore a date previous to the
date of the edict excluding private
coins. Another way, which was at
one time very prevalent in England,
u-oc fo do
by suppressing the legends and sub.
stituting instead some caprfcious or
meaningless legend, as "Claudius Ro.,
manus." "Georgius tt Rox." George
Rules" "Glorius Ter Wis.," etc. These
spurious coins presented the same
general appearance to the ignorant
populace as the regal cotuage.
A third means. and this is charac-
teristic Of the Canadian Blacksmiths,
was by counterfeiting the worn Brit.
ish half pence, the only legal copper
coins in circulation. on which the
date. legend and all but an indistinct
outline Of the design had been effaced
Although they thus produced a rude
coinage these early Canadian coiners
showed considerable skill in so ma,
king fresh coins bear the appearance
of an old worn out but still legal cur
rency that they were able to circu-
late vast quantities of their spurious
limitations. 1t Is worth noting that
he designs on these Blacksmiths
often face in the opposite direction to
their prototypes.
As an explanation of their name the
story is told that a blacksmith of dis.
solute habits lived in Montreal and
when he wished to have good
time struck two or three dollars of
these coppers and thereby supplied
himself with sufficient change to graf
fy his wishes" The name was
adopted by numismatists and applied
to the whole series.

Simplicity Is the keynote of the
summer frock The individual touch
can be given by applying the decora-

sort, either to the collar and cuffs, on
plain linen or to the embroidery that
is used as trimming
The decoration of the summer frock
must not be overdone. Just a few
masses of color, will suffice, and the
more dashy and, of necessity, quickly
done the stitches the better
A belt of patent leather or soft
suede is the usual thing, giving a tall

the difficulties at the waist line
And last of all, If you possibly can
wear the collarless frock, take advan-
tage of the cool comfort that is at

achieved by the home dressmaker.
