A "Mite.v

The difficulties experienced by our forefathers in trying to reckon money in very small proportions appear in the various values given to mite in the sixteenth and seventeenth cen tury books of commercial arithmetic. The original mite seems to have been a third of Flemish penny, but tbe use of the word for the widows coin of the New Testament made it's regular English meaning half q far thing. and some old people may re. member applying the name to the short lived nineteenth century coins of that value. In those old arithmetic books mite stands for various val ues not represented ey actual coins, but obviously used in reckoning. X work of l106 makes it onc-twelfth oi q penny. two sixteenth century books one-siXth of q farthing, and in 1G14 Ieake's arithmetic made it as little as one siXty-fourth of a penny.-Lon, don Chronicle.

MOHAMMEDANS OF INDIA.
Superstition Seems to Govern Most e'
 Their Actions.

Superstition Seems to Govern Most of
 Their Actions.
 Mohammedans of India are very superstitious No Mohammedan will take bath on Sunday or Tuesday But if one bathes on Wednesday all misfortunes and misery that are In store for him till the next Wednesday will be averted. As rule. all Moham- medans bathe on Fridays before going to perform the jumma prayers. For donnng new clothes Saturday. Sunday and Tuesday are regarded as bad days. If any one dons q new dress or puts on new cloth or allows his tailor to cut piece of cloth on these days. he will live a miserable life till that dress or cloth gets torn or is thrown away. If shirt is torn and if the wearer wants to stitch it. it must be taken off, for if it is stitched while on the body the person will soon die. X Moham medan will never allow 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 fin blood if he does so. If one receives Money or some valuable thing, it Is taken with the right hand, for if 1t 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 vout Mohammedan will not start on a Journey on Wednesday,, for it is be Eeyed he will never return home safe ly if he does so. And it Is said that even snake never ventures out of its hole on this day.

SPARED BY THE ENEMY.
A Dramatic Incident In the Career of
 General de GaIifet.


 It was on that fatal day, Sept. 1. 1870, that General de Galiifet distin- Yuished himself by cominanding the rayalry charges intended To clear the elevation at lily, with the view H opening passage toward Fl0ins, where it was hoped the army might rp treat The first charge overthrow the Eighty third regiment of the PruSSians and penetrated among the German troops, but the latter formed again rapidly after the retirement of the French cavalry.
 General DucrOt then asked if they could renew the charge with what re mained of the light cavalry and hus- sars, and then Galifet answered in the words that have become historic, "As often as you wish general. as long as man renlains." The second charge was not so successful as the first Only a few men, with their gen eraI at their head, succeeded iD pene trnting the first ranks of the enemy. It is known that the king of Prussia. who was watching the battle from the top of the hill of Marfee, exclaimed with admiration, "Oh, les braves gems"
 Just at this moment an astonishing event occurred in the midst of the bat tie. AS Gallifet was returning with few survivors. their horses for thh most part wounded or foundered. be passed before the Nassau regiment. The Prussian officers ordered their men to cease fire and even struck up some of their guns. The French sa- luted and shouted, "Vive fempereur." and the German officers acknowledged the salute some of them app!auding.- Westminster Gazette.

Health as Primary Factor In intelii-
 gent Living.
 Health and success are so largely dependent upon balance. upon sym metry of development. physical and mental harmony, that we should do everything possible to secure that physical poise which also means men, tai and moral poiSe. A large part of our ills come from one sided develop ment. caused by overstimulating some tissue cells and starving others-over feeding and underfeeding. Scientific feeding therefore, is of vast impor- tance.
 Overeating and improper ealing ar>. among the curses of the world. Think of the people who put all sorts of fn- compatibles into their stomachs at the nostrums to get rid of their bad ef fects.
 One of the most pathetic sights in , the world is that of human being struggling hard to carry out his am- bition, yet handicapping himself by bis ignorance of physical laws.
 What pathetic figure Carlyle cut In the world-a one sided giant who might have been symmetrical power. possessor of colossal brain largely controlled by a dyspeptic stomach! He was cross and grabbed and did just the things that he did not want to do, things that be knew it would be bet ter not to do, but he was the victim of starved nerves. of exhausted brain cells largely for want of common sense feeling-Orison Swet: Marden in Sue. cess Magazine.

THE MILITARY SQUARE.
Formation Borrowed by Wallace
 From the EIeminas.


 The greatest of all Scottish anniyer- Baries is that of BAnnockburn. fought in the year 1874. Apart from it's bear Ing on the independence of scotland, the battle will always have an excep- tienal interest from the military point of view. as Baru"ckburn 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 "schii- troms. or oblonG squares, formation borrowed by Wallace from the Elem lnss. who had employed it with sue 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 resolute spear armed infantry drawn up in "schiltrorn." or hedgehog, forma- lion, and these two battles revolution lzed the tactics of the continent and of our own island. Profiting by the lesson which had been taught them nt Bannockburn, the English applied the tactics of the Scots with brilliant success at Crecy and still more at Agincourt. As ii was the Scots who may be said to have originated the British square at Bannockburn, so it was they again who at Balaklaya were the first to discard it with their thin red line," and now, owing to our changed conditions of warfare. it is discarded altogether Chron- frln
