"But sir," said 1, waxing eloquent as the hectar fired my brain, "now let me tell you my opinion of your wars. I am a modern man, sir, a Hongkong broker, sir, and-and-never mind what I am."
He laughed.
"Your own times" 1 continued loudly, not going to be laughed down by a fossil, were fearful times of furious enthusinams, dark despair and fearful.cruelties.

Here, strangely enough, Cleopatra, who was much affected by my eloquence, placed ber hand in mine and whispered huskily that I was a dear good thing and that she was quite ‘marbed”, on me. What could I do but—I am not a bore but order another bottle, place my arm around her waist and give her a bug, which she seemed to enjoy immensely. Surely it was no harm to pay a little mild attention to a spirit- being. Even for a married man. Mark Antony gazed at me ferociously, so I suddenly removed my

It is in the English language alone, however, that the name may be said to have an undis tinguished look. The German Schmids and the Dutch Smid are closely allied to our own form; but in Gaelic it becomes, as all readers of the Fair Maid of Perth" must remember, Gow. It is in the French and Gypsy tongues, however, that Smith receives its most splendid transforma- tion; for in the former it becomes Lefevre, and in the latter Petulengro.—Chamber's Journal.

In consequence of the greater range and power of modern artillery and musketry fire, a memorandum upon the formation of infantry for the attack has lately been issued by the British War Office. Troops allotted for the attack will, when of sufficient strength, be divided into first second and third lines, "The first line, subdivided into firing line, supports and reserver, engages the enemy, and is intended eventually to establish itself within charging distance of his parition. The duties of the firing line are to keep up a well-directed fire upon the enemy from the moment such fire becomes effective; to push forward as near his puition as possible; and thence to deliver such a heavy fire as will enable the second line to approach the point selected for attack, and drive him from it. The supports and the reserves keep the firing line at its most efficient strength by filling the gaps caused by the casualties; protect its flinks by the firing they can bring to bear upon any troops which threaten them: encourage those engaged in front by the feeling that there is a body of comrades following to „assist them. . As the final stage is reached the support and reserves became absorbed in the extended line. During the advance all serious flank attacks must be met by the reserves wh will also find any troops that may be required for the long-range fire. The second lin- assaulis the position when its way is prepared through the losses inflicted on the enemy by the first live. The third line either confirms the success or covers the retreat of the first and second lines, by and so prevents defeat becoming disaster. In the final stage of the attack, as the firing line nears the enemy's position and cannot advance
further without unnecessary exposure, a con-
venient position should be selected whence a

points of the enemy's position selected for attack. Should the reserve be still in the reaT, it should now join the front line so as to bring its fire up to the maximum of effect. The second lloc, well kept in hand, should now be led up to the firing line opposite the selected points of the hostile line, where, from the concentrated fire of the artillery and the firing line, the defenders must have suffered most. On reaching the firing line the second line will double through it with cheers, carrying the position at the point of the bayonet, the drums beating and the bugles play ing. The firing line will follow close in the rear. The third line, formed in the most convenient manger according to local circumstances, will work forward, ready to support an attack, to meet the enemy's reserves if a serious counter attack is made when the assault is delivered, and subsequently to confirm the success of the attack by opening a heavy fire upon the enemy as he retreats, or by the mere occupation of the ca„tured" position.

THE SMITH FAMILY,
How many Smiths are there in England? It is impossible to answer this question, with pre- cialon, but there are data from which an approximately correct idea may be obtained. The Registrar General tells us that in 1856 it was possible to estimate, from certain records in his keeping, that there were then living in England and Wales about 253,000 Smiths, or one la every seventy-three persons composing the entire population. Supposing, that, this estimate was correct, and that the same proportion has since been maintained, the statement may fairly be made that there are now "about 3:5,814, or over one third of millon Smiths in, England and
