Au in this matter of the sword we take it that national chamcteristics til usage from time immemorial should be consulted in determining the nature of the weapon. Thus the peoples of Southern Europe, the Latin races, are accustomed to use a thrusting sword; their weapon is the rapier. and in dl probability it would be found TE ADDRESSES for above; IWASAKI.that they would naturally thrust with any Obdes:-A1, ADO 5th Ed., Western Union, word they were provided with, even if it.

were adapted for cutting purposes. But it is different with the Englishman, and other people of the north, whose national weapon, until more recant times was the broad sword, adapted for a cutting strike. And it has been found in actual practice that so natural docs cutting come to the Englishmat, ami tu the Scotsman with his clayroore, that in action the use of the bayonet has more often than not been discarded, and the clubbed market used instead. This was the experiance of the Poninsular War. Similarly it is found 816 that the British casaleginan, provided with a abre adapted for thresting, has a ten- doney to use it as a cutting weapon,
In this connection it has been rehted that a Sergeant of the 3rd Elighlanders in the attack on the Sikandar Bagh at the relief of Lucknow, took from a 1stive á alwar" with which the latter bad alrondý killed two British soldiers, sad wielded it with terrific effect, lopping off heads one after another. It is generally contended that the trust is more effective than the cut; here the heman element to which we have referred has to be considered. It depends on the hand which wields the weapon, and the Lagdhose owner belongs to a "cutting nation wiil pro. lilly cut my effective than trust. it would seem, therefore, a mistake to tonel the Oriental soldier, rustomed ne the people of the East are to the use of a dutting woon, in which they oxcel, to use

As for the nature of the weapon, we may well quote an officer who took part in the Mutiny campaigns and wrote: "Each of the rebels was provided with a Government minket, belt and cartonel bos-in capital order and well provideć with cartridges. After firing down went the musket and out came the sharp cutting mative sword. The cut and slashed all our horses and moon so long as one of their band remained alive. I counted 3 regular sopoys lying dead at that epet. To show the force with which they cut with their A native swords it is only necessary to in stance Lize Sergeant Wilson who had his P bridle arm completely severed above the elbow, and on another occasion the thigh of a Gond was cut through at one blow
