The result of the first charge was the break of the Russian cavalry, which fed back to the protection 0: their artillery anl were not pursued very fir b., the Erit- ish.

Ancient Iceland.

Iceland was founded X. D. STA by men from Norway. In the words of John Fiske, "it was such wholesale colonization of picked men as had not been seen since ancient Greek times and was not to be seen again until Winthrop sailed into Massachusetts bay. It was not long before the popu- lation of Iceland was 50,000. Their sheep and cattle fiourished. hay crops were heavy, a lively trade-with fish, oil. butter and skins in exchange for meal and malt-was kept up with Nor way. Denmark and the British isles.

An old, steady going farmer was ac- customed to ride to the market town upon a rather bad tempered horse.
 One day his man Bob brought the animal. which was especially vicious that morning, to the door, the horse trying to bite and kick and giving a good deal of trouble.
 The farmer mounted the horse with some difficulty and began to walk it cut of the yard when Bob, who still entertained Ill feeling against the ani- nal, picked up n stone and flung it at him with all his force, but, alas, his aim was cratic. and the missile struck his master on the head.
 Half dazed for moment. the farmer turned slowly in his saddle, and, not suspecting the real cause of the blow, he measured with his eye the horses hind hoofs and his own head and, set tling himself in the saddle again. started off with the remark. Well, he allus was m okard beggar. Mail

Nicholas Copernicus. was the founder of modern astronomy. He was born in Poland in 1473. His father was Il Pole, and his mother was n German. He went to the university at Cracow, where be studied medicine, theology, mathematics and astronomy. Later he devoted his whole attention to as. tronomy and developed the "Coperni- can" system. which is the one now universally accepted. It regards the sun as the center of the solar system and the planets, of which the earth is one, as revolving around it, while around the majority of these primary, one or more secondary orbs. known as moons, revolve. The first stars are regarded as suns, each with its own planetary system.
