The same remark applies to the arm-| ing of the men of Deyon and Somer- | set at the Battle of Sedgemoor, the last real battle fought on English ground. But even in these days of arms of precision there have been many cases where these scientific tools have been discarded in favor of | something much more primitive, For instance, at the Battle of Ink- erman, which was a soldiers' battle, fought in a mist almost without lead- ership, many of the British soldiers, finding their fire useless and their bayonets untrustworthy and bent, went In with their fists in true Brit- | ish style. Bluejackets have more! than once followed this example when a primitive force has been landed to punish natives. The Tarts have! gone for them with fists and beldy- ing pins, possibly feeling that any- thing more deadly would be more than the occasion required. The band has on many occasions Joined in the fray. It is reported to have occu.red in the late war in the Balkans, during the later fight- ing which took place between the late. allies, Bulgarians and Servians, The former were greatly outaumber- ed, and sfeing them getting the worst of It, the band went into+the melee with their instruments, and many a Servian was laid low by a blow fre the butt-end of cornet, opheecleid and trombobe, not to mention wel formidable baskoon. There" is+a story. about « peastil who défended his hearth against & Lorde of the enemy with a thresleg i ged stool, and another of 4a woman who routed the ememy at the double by overturning a stand of beehives in' her garden, but certainly one of the most remarkable weapons on\record was the big saucepan which it Js cre- dibly said a lusty Turk braddished with great effect at the Battle off'Wid- din, Since Samson's use of the jaw- bone of an ass there has never been surely a stranger weapon. In one of the fierce actions in the Peninsular War ammunition 'ran short, and many shifts were resorfed to in order to make up for the lack of bullets. The chief means were but- tons. There were not many left on the soldiers' uniforms when the fight was over. To-day, of course, la sol- dier could not do this, for/&ll'the ri- files are breeth-loaders. But in those days it 'was different. Thus in this very same battle it is reported that a soldier took a razor from his haver- pack, rammed it down, and fired it after the flying French 'cavalry. Bvi- dently that'¢ayalry hed a close shave. A Sight Worth Seéing. Petticoat Lane, in London, on Sun- | day morning does not provide a more ' curious sight than the Caledonian Market, almost beneath the grim | walls of Penjonville Prison. Here on | Friday may beén seen society people, wealthy Americans, and other foreign tourists rubbing shoulders with all sorts of people, scrambling for bar- gains In antiques, furniture, orna- ments, and what-not. Rumor has it that years ago one or two treasures were discovered ly- ing unnoticed and neglected on a stall In the Caledonian Market, which were bought for a few shillings and sold for hundreds of That must have been in the days of long ago, however, and Puneh's joke perhaps more correctly describes the state of the market and the sellers to-day: Art Dealer--'Ere y'are--old mas- ters a tanner a time.

During the twenty-four hours mo fewer than 2,139 trains pass through the Loudon Embankment Station, and each one stops there. That is absolutely a world's record. Oa the District Rallway section alone as many as forty-four trains an hour are run on a single set of rails. When it is borne in mind that every train slows down to enter the station, stops a brief period, and takes a few seconds to get up speed again, repeating the same process less than half a mile farther on, it will be realized not only that the service must be run with clockwork regular- ity, but that sueh a volume of trafic could mot be handled at all if the elimination of seconds had not been elevated into an ert.

The reports o Sir E. Goschen take the form of a British White Paper, copies of which were received by Sir Cecil Spring- Rice, the British ambassodor, and were made public by the embassy. Ambassador Goschen made an ex: tensive report on February 270i, 1914, on what he described as a "powerful secret organization for the purpose of influencing the for- eign press in the interest of the Ger- man export teade and the spread of German influence generally." In this despatch Ambassador Goschen fore- shadowed that Qeriean cable rates for press telegrams would probably be reduced in the interest of the new , Soc jety On April, 2ud, tna second commu- nication to Sir. Edward Crey, the fact that the taduced cable rates for press telegrams had gone into opera- tion on April J1st was reported. At the time the matter was first report- ed by Ambassador Geschen cribed the new dissentinating assoc- fations as a secret one. On June 9th, he sent to Sir, Edward Grey, a clipping from the Deueche Export Revue, in which the existence of the scheme was for the time admitted in public print." MUST NOT FIGHT AGAIN.

Beer and Cigarettes. Canadians consumed more beer, but drank less spirits and smoked | less tobacco, excepting clgarettes, | last year than in the year previous, { according tothe Department of In- labd Revenue. The consumption of spirits, per | head of population, was 1.061 gal- lons as against 1.112 gallons in | 1913; beer, 7.200 gallons as com- pared with 7.005 gallons; of wine, .124 gallons as against .131 gallons, and of tobacco 3.711 pounds com- pared with 3.818. Duty paid on spirits equalled $2.249 per capita. Despite the campaign instituted against cigarettes, the consumption | last year passed the billion mark. The total wag 1,166,023,170, an in- creased of 188,277,869 cigarettes as compared with the previous year. Old Time Punishments, Among the weird and horrible pun- i{shments inflicted in Quebec under both the French and British regimes were the burning of women at the | stake for petily treason, burning of the hand, branding on the forehead, and breaking on the wheel, Papua Island, Papua Island was so named by the Malays, and the word means "friz- zled," in reference to the hair of the inhabitants. It is generally supposed that Papua or New Guinea was orig- inally part of the mainland of Aus- tralia. It was discovered by the Por- tuguese in 1526, though it was prob ably sighted by A. Dabreu during his voyage fifteen years earlier. The Australian Government, reslising the danger that would arise if an enemy seized land so near their coasts, fre- quently urged Great Britain to annex the eastern portion of the island, and after two or three unauthorized an. nexations a British p ate was established there in 1884.
