Antiuuity Of Stockings.

Stockings were known among the
Romans more than 1900 years ago, as
is proved by paintings found in the
ruins OF POmpeii. They were consid-
cred more ornamental than useful In
the colder climate Of northern Europe
they became a necessity. and the man
ufacture Of them became a recognized
employment in the twelfth century.
when they were fashioned chiefly OF
cloth. In the reign Of Edward H. they
assumed a resemblance to those now
worn. At the courts Of Spain and Italy
they were fashioned Of silk and were
made enormously large.

man tribe that dwelt north of the Elbe
AID first appeared in history along
with the Ainbie, about 800 b. c. The
German people in general are called
TeutOns. The name means the peo-
pie" as opposed t, foreigners.
A Slav is one belonging to any of the
Slavonic groups of Aryans. These are
all domiciled in Europe except the Rus
SLAMS of Siberia, and a large number
of emigrants settled in America. They
are divided into three groups, eastern
Slavs or Russians, northwestern Slavs
and southern Slavs. They are the most
numerous race in Europe. Their orig
inal habitat seems to have been the
basins Of the Vistula and other rivers
to the northeast of the Carpathians.

Old Postal Rates.


The high postal rates that prevailed
In the earlier years Of the last century
made the transmission of a letter or
parcel matter of serious moment
"A packet weighing thirty-two ounces

writes Mrs. Eleanor Smyth In her life
OF Sir Rowland Hin. The postage
was over f6 being four times
as much as the charge for an inside
place by the coach. Again, parcel of
official papers small enough to slip in
side an ordinary pocket was sent from
Dublin to another Irish town addressed
to Sir John Burgoyne. BY mistake il
was charged as letter inst cad of as q
parcel and cost ell. For that amount
the whole mail coach plying between
the two towns with places for seven
passengers and their luggage might
have been hired. "-London Chronicle.

LAND DEFENSE IN. THE WEST,

LAND DEFENSE IN. THE WEST,
The American public is constantly
reminded OF Japan's unfriendliness
toward the United States and of the
danger that some day we will be fore
ed to defend ourselves against a men
ace in the far east.
A recent editorial in the Chicago
Examiner, reprinted in the Capital
contained this paragraph:
"lf Japan is permitted to fasten
her grip upon China and to exploit
for her military uses all the territory
Of that huge, populous and potentially
hugely rich ancient empire, she can
set upon us, in less than a decade,
with such force and power that we
may be unable to protect our people
and our territory from the overwhelm-
ing onslaught"
Granting for sake of argument that
it would, in truth be an 'overwhclm-
ing onslaught" the question arises,
how are we prepared to resist such
an invasion?
A ranking officer of the United
States army has prepared an answer
to the qucrry for the New York
Tribune. The facts are in line with
the information which has been gath
cred by our military authorities for
use in case Of break with Japan.
West of the Rocky mountains we
have about $500 troops, including
the forts of Alaska. The paper
strength of the state militia in this
territory is 6,751.
The largest group of soldiers in
one place is 1,200. The different
