The greatest of all Scottish anniver saries is that of liannockburu, fought In the year loH. Apart from its bear ing on the independence of Scotland the battle will always have an excep tional interest from the military poin: f view, as ISannockburn 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 "schil troms," or oblong squares, a formation "borrowed by Wallace from the Flem ings, who had employed it with suc 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 Ran nock burr, proved that he was powerless to break resolute spear armed infantry drawn up in "sehiltroni," or hedgehog, form:; tion. and these two battles revolution ized the tatties of the continent and of our own island Profiting by the lessen which had been taught then: at liannoekburn. the English applied the tactics of the Scots with brill:;;!:: success at Cieev and still more ai Agincourt. As it was the Scots w may be said to have originated, the British square at ttannorkburn, so i" "was they again who at Ia!aklava were the first to discard it with their "thin red line,"' and now. owing to our changed conditions of warfare, it is discarded altogether.

It has turned out, under The search- lug experimentation of recent years, that much that we have supposed to be instinct in animals is not insihut at all. For example, the young tin -k proves to have no instinctive impuls. to enter the water, does not recognize the element by sight and is. in short in precisely the same situation as ;i chick until, by happy chance, it gets its legs wet. Wet legs, however, and the lift of the water on the body at once start up the swimming reaction and away sails the duckling, as chick ens and children do not. The chick, on its part, has a definite instinct to peck at any small objeei that catches its eye. That takes care of its feeding. But the chick has n corresponding instinct to drink and would die of thirst before it won't1 recognize water by sight alone. Drink ing it has to learn for itself by peek ing at dewdrops or spots of light on the surface of the water or parti '-leaf the bottom of its cup. Even th hen, contrary to general belief, prove to have no instinctive fear of the v tor for her offspring. A hen tha? v raised a few broods of ducks and sc. them take to the water becomes hr:h!x" distressed when a subsequent hat eh o; chickens do not swim. In fact, hen have been reported under these cu instances to lead their chicks to th waterside and push Clure's Magazine. them in. Me NESTS GULF WEED. Breeding Piace of the Flying Fish in the Sargasso Sea. I in the middle of the north Atlantic there is an area of comparatively stili water almost equal to continental Europe in extent and more or less covered with floating seaweed. It was known as the Mai de Sargaco to Co lumbus and the early navigators and is the Sargasso sea of modern geog raphers. The floating seaweed was formerly supposed to have grown near the Ba hama and Florida shores and to have j drifted to its present position. It is j now, however, known to grow and propagate itself where it is found. In it are found globular masses of weed containing ii.-h eggs and known as fish nests. Investigations show that the floating i weed of the Sargasso sea is the chosen Apparently, however, the flying fish do not nuike the nests themselves. Each end o' the egg of these tish is furnished with bunches of very long filamentary tendrils, and by means of these the linely divided branches of the Sarg;issum wood have been caught together in globular masses. 'The eggs may be said to have made their own nest. London Field. Bismarck and 3. Bismarck had an intense aversion to 3, but a veneration for the uuui- j ber 3.

"We'd have no old maids if we took a lesson from the ancient Babylonians," a spinster said. "In Babylon unmar ried women were graded by the state according to their looks.

OHicially, according to the London News, there are about 200 tradesmen in London who hold the royal warrant and are entitled to use the royal arms as a shop sign, with the accompanying words, "By royal appointment." The royal warrant has to be received, signed and seaied in due form; other wise, if a tradesman styles himself a purveyor to a member of the royal family without this formal permission, he is guilty of an offense which is punishable by a fine not exceeding 20. Moreover, he is liable to a simi lar fine if he uses arms so nearly re sembling the royal arms as to lead people to believe that he is carrying on his business under the authority of royalfv Several instances have occur- red of the enforcement of these penal- ties. The warrants are exhiuited in the shop windows, headed by the royal ; arms and bearing the signature oi the lord chamberlain, the comptroller of the royal household, the treasurer of the latter, or of the master of the horse, etc., according to the circum stances.

Before the story had time to spread she discovered the man to be a brother from the West and was fair enough to say so to those who knew of the incident. That and another episode in which she figured as a principal entirely cured her of gossiping. She had a married brother whose wife was unreasonably jealous.
