The physical superiority of the ante Alexandrian Greeks to the hard iest and most robust nations of mod ern times is perhaps best, ilhistr.it.ed by the military statistics of Xenophon. According to the author of the “ Anabasis,’’ the complete accoutre ments of a Spartan soldier, in what we would call heavy marching order, weighed 75 pounds, exclusive of the camp, mii.ing and bridge building tools, and the rations of bread and dried fruit which were issued in weekly instalments, and increased the burden of the infantry soldier to 90, 95, or even to a full 100 pounds.

Tfie dozen carriages in which the party were riding were at one time massed in the road a round the President’s carriage, in which stood I Babchdder, explaining the sittta'i-.n. ’Down the road came a 'rickety old stage with horses at full gallop, and the driver yelled oat, “Gimme the road.” Two or three of the citizens’ committee of escort ran to interrupt him, hut he slammed right into the President’s carriage and attempted to force it off the road. One of the committee remonstrated with him. saying that the gentleman in that carriage was the President of the United States. “ I don’t care a who it is,” he replied, “ I’ve got United States mtil here, and I’m en titled to the road, and if lie don’t hack his d d team out of there, I’ll run ’em down.’’ There was no use in trying to persuade him, s<> the President’s carriage had to be backe 1 j into trie ditch, and the stage went | through. After the man had passed, the President remarked : “ I’d ha ve to speak to Key about that mail carrier, when I get hqnie. lie is jealous of the rights of his depart ment, and ought to be promoted.’’ Hilton is Jalkiii back.
