PIKEMEN OF OLD.
Their Ponderous Armor and Their Six?
teen Foot Weapons.
Tbe pikeman waa covered with de?
fensive armor, au Iron headpiece, iron
"back and breast" and "tastes." n kind
af iron npron protecting him from
waist to knee, He carried a pike six?
teen feet loni;. Watti an ashen shaft, an
Iron head and a blunt iron spike at Uie
butt end. whereby to fix it In the
ground, nnd. besides tbe pike, a rapier. '
The pike, from Its prent length, was
a weapon which required deft handling
In order to be of effective uso and. as
may be imagined, was excessively
showy on parade. The modern lance
exercise ls a pretty sight enough, but
the old pike exercise, perfectly execut?
ed by a larire body of men. must ha va
been superb. We are uot surprised,
therefore, to find that the i>ostures or
Instructions for tills exercise are ex?
travagantly minute.
To give one example, at the close of
the lnstrnctlon. on the word "Order
your pikes." wc find after a mass of
complicated details the following con?
clusion: "You place the butt end of
your pike by the outside of your right
foot, your ripht hand holding lt even
with your eye and your thumb rlRht up;
then, your left arm beluR set akimbo by
your side, you shall stand with a full
body in a comely posture."?Westmin?
ster Gazette.
Th* Danea and Britain.
John Ackworth, nu English dialect
aovellst. who made a special study of
the dialects of Lancashire, Yorkshire.
the east coasts and also of the Danes,
shows that the Danes by their early
landings and sojournlngs In England
kave Influenced the language of tbe
east coasts of Britain to aa extraordi?
nary degree and thnt the Danes nnd
the British in spite of apparent differ?
ences are one practically in speech and
lanpuujre as well as in the relationship
of blood. "So strong is the English of
the east coasts of England impreg?
nated with Danish." John Ackworth
once snid. "that I nm sure thnt if a
fisherman from the east coasts of Eng?
land were to be wrecked-on the shores
of Denmark and he would only speak
In his true native dialect that fisher?
man would be able to make himself
understood."
Hence the Lament,
"How in the name of goodness did
you come to buy so many lemons when
I told you plainly to get only one
oozen?" complained Mrs. "tVratts to her
Dew Scandinavian maid.
"Veil." answered Hedvig slowly, "y?y
