THE CHARIOT OF OLD
A GRIM REMINDER OF THE COMBATS
OF THE HEROIC PERIOD.
ThU Vehicle 'Was Used In the Days
, of Antiquity For the Battle, the
Cbase, In Processions and :In
Games— How It 'Was Constructed.
The chariot was used In antiquity
for the battle, the cbase, in public pro
cessions and in games. It had two
wheels and was drawn by two horses,
and when one or two horses were add
ed they were attached to each side of
the main pair by a side trace, fastened
to the front of the chariot • .
These chariots have only come down
to us in fragments, with the exception
of the one in the archaeological muse
um of Florence, which Is a unique ex
ample of a war chariot, the so called
"Biga dl Frassino," found by Rossell
neo in a Thebes tomb. It is certainly
as old as the fourteenth century B. C.
It is probably a trophy obtained In the
north by some Egyptian warrior.
There Is an entire absence of metal
In the construction. Immediately on
the axle, without springs of any kind,
rests the basket or body, of the chari
ot, which consisted of a floor to stand
on and a semicircular guard around
the front and about half the height of
the driver.' ' It Is entirely open at the
back, so that the combatants might
leap to the ground and up again, as be
came necessary by the exigencies of
action. There was no Beat, and gener
ally In war chariots there was only
room for the combatant and his chari
oteer to stand in. \ ■
The pole, as in the present instance,
was usually, attached to the middle of
the axle, although to outward appear
ances It looked as though It sprang
from the front of tbe basket. At the
end of the pole was the yoke, which
looked like a ram's horns. Depending
from this by leather thongs was a V
shaped piece, which probably took
tbe place of the modern horse collar.
Probably broad bands were also fitted
around the chest of tbe animals.
Besides the harness of each horse
there were a bridle and a pair of reins
somewhat In the same style as are In
useatthe present day. These weremade
of leather and were ornamented with
studs of Ivory and metal. The reins
were passed through rings attached
to the collar and were- long enough to
be tied around the waist of the chariot
eer In case of bis having to defend him
self. . . ;
The wheels and body were usually of
wood, strengthened in places with
bronze or Iron. The wheels had from
four to eight spokes, ,and the tires
were of bronze or iron (in the preswrit
Instance ash was used), and the pins
which secured tbe fellies were of fossil
bone. ■
This description applied to the chari
ots of almost any of tbe nations of an
'tiqulty, the difference consisting chief
ly in the mountings. Thus the chariots
of the Egyptians and Assyrians, with
whom the bow was the principal arm
of attack, were richly mounted with
quivers full -of arrows, while those of
the Greeks, who used the spear, were
plain except as regards mere decora
tions. The Persians and the ancient
Britons used a class of chariots having
the wheels mounted with sharp, sickle
shaped blades, which cut to pieces
whatever came in their way. This was
probably the invention of the Persians.
The use of the battle chariot really
belongs to the heroic period. The war
rior, standing by the side of bis chariot-,
eer, was driven in front of the- line to*
Invite hostile warriors to single com
bat . After the strategic skill of a com
mander superseded the demands |on
his personal valor the chariot was
transferred from tbe battlefield to the
hippodrome, where alone its original
f o%a was preserved. The description
of the Homeric battle chariot, there
fore, to a great extent also applies' to
the historic chariot of the race course.
■ The small diameter of the chariot
wheel may be explained from the de
sire of preventing the chariot from be
ing opposed by the impediments In the
battlefield, such as debris or dead bod
ies. The rim was usually formed of
four fellies, into which tbe four spokes
were let. The upper rail, which was of
either wood or metal, varied greatly in
form and was Intended to be grasped
. by the warrior on jumping on to the
chariot, while the front part served for
fastening tbe reins and the. traces of
the "wheel horses." In the Roman tri
umphal chariot a covering of leather
served to ward off missiles, and later
. on the sides were composed of strong
boards. . •
h Unfortunately we know very little of
the vehicles of everyday use in those
days. . They nearly all seem to be a va
riety of what we now term the "gig."—

Killed Classical Quotations.
In tracing the decline of the use of
classic:^ quotations In legislative bod
ies the Boston Herald cites the case of
Edward Everett, who once concluded
a stately speech In congress with a
long, sonorous and superbly modulated
citation of a passage from Tacitus and
then took his seat. No sooner was be
through than up sprang a burly mem
ber from what was then a frontier
state of the west He bad once been
an Indian agent, and no sooner was he
on his legs than he began to pour out
a vehement harangue in Choctaw.
After awhile the speaker called him to
order.' j
"I don't see why my freedom of
speech should be abridged!" he cried.
"You let the gentleman from Massa
chusetts run on, and I didn't under
stand the first word of his lingo any
better than he does mine."
The scene was described as very
comical, but It struck the deathknell
of further classical quotations In a
congress that had not the ray of an
idea what the unintelligible lingo of
Cicero and Tacitus was driving at
His Story "Goes" Until He Does.
There Is In Cowley county a big two

Into Dexter and told that be bad a

Proud of Hla Labels.
A distangy looking young man board
ed a Fourteenth street car at Massa
chusetts avenue the other night He
was' carrying & leather suit case.
Pasted all over the suit case were la
bels indicating much foreign travel —
steamer pasters slapped on at Dieppe,
Havre, Ostend, Bremen, Cherbourg,
Liverpool, Yarmouth, Naples, and rail
road labels that bore the names of all
lines all the way from Constantinople
to St Petersburg. The j-oung man of
distangy. appearance put the suit case
down between his legs, and all the peo
ple In the soats opposite began a fas
cinated sort of inspection of the labels.
A stout man with several of the com
ponent parts of a Jag who sat next to
the young man seemed to regard the
labels . with particular Interest. He
stooped over and deciphered them
carefully and elaborately, and then he
looked up at the owner of the suit
case with a leer.
""Been around right smart, hain't
you, podner?" he Inquired.
The young man regarded him with a
smile.
"Never, been farther away from
Washington' than New York in my
life," he replied, without any hesita
tion whatsoever. "I got that whole
bunch of labels for half a dollar at a
little money exchanging joint, down
near the Battery, In New York. Hot
scheme, Isn't It?"
The frankness of the statement so
dazed several of the passengers who
overheard it that they got off at the
wrong theater.— Washington Post
The Stan; Beetle.
As you walk by tbe hedgeside a
strange noise suddenly arrests your at
tention. It Is the buzz of an insect,
but loud enough to startle you. It
might be mistaken for the reeling of a
night Jar, but It Is perhaps more like
the Jarring bum of a fastly driven mo
tor car.
The reason of the noise is that the
beetle has with great pains climbed up
a certain height from the ground, and
In order to ascertain whether he has
got far enough, he erects himself on
his stand, lifts his wing cases, shakes
out his wings and begins to agitate
them violently, turning this way and
that to make sure that he has a clear
space.
If he then attempts to fly— it Is one
of his common blunders— he instantly
strikes against some branch or cluster
of leaves ans] is thrown down. The
tumble does not hurt him' In the least,
but so greatly astonishes him that he
remains motionless a good while; then,
recovering his senses, he begins to as
cend again. At length, after a good
many accidents and adventures by the
way, he gets on to the topmost twig,
and, after some buzzing, to get up
steam, launches himself heavily, on the
air and goes ' away In grand style.—
Longman's.
Looking Ont For Alma Mater.
No doubt the casual observer has of
ten noticed how unceasingly bequests
flow Into the treasuries of certain uni
versities, but he may not know that
the alumni of those Institutions, partic
ularly the lawyers, have it always on
their minds to secure, or at least to
suggest, bequests.
One of these men, a prominent cor
poration lawyer of this city, was speak
ing of the custom the other day. He
explained that a lawyer and his client
usually sit down to talk over the gen
eral subject of a will. If tlie client lias
more than enough money to meet the
actual needs of his family, he common
ly says something of charitable or edu
cational Institutions, generally In a
vague way, which makes it quite nat
ural for his lawyer to suggest as a def
inite object his own alma mater. The
lawyer referred to had himself secured
several bequests, one of them for the
sum of $300,000. "But," said he, smil
ing, "a young lawyer In my office has
Just cut me out of $100,000, which he
put In a. will for his own alma' mater.
It was a very good stroke on his part,
the more so because our respective uni
versities have been bitter athletic . ri
vals for years."— New York Mail and

Bother Cold Blooded.
Of the tactics of infantry there Is
no end, but there are some simple
rules for tbe individual foot soldier to
remember when lost In the chaos of
battle. If you cannot bayonet your
enemy, shoot him. If he goes away,
aim at tbe base of his spine. But do
not let your attention be distracted
from business by tbe consideration
that other people are making a mark
of you. It is your duty to kill the
highest possible number of those op
posed to you, not to save your own

Effle replied, having enjoyed herself,
"Oh, I don't mind much."

THE AMADOB LEDfiER: JACKSON. CALIFORNIA.. FRIDAY. MARCH 30. 1900.
After a Battle.
In the first aid that is rendered: on
the field after a battle nothing is at
tempted beyond the arrest of.hemor
rhage, the application of temporary
splints for fractures and antiseptic
dressing. There is no washing or ex
ploration of wounds. The clothes are
merely slit up with scissors,* not re
moved, thus insuring protection to the
patient's body and saving unnecessary
disturbances. The sergeant In charge
of the collection station has a field
companion, a water bottle and a small
reserve of bandages and first dress
ings'in bis care to replenish the sur
gical haversacks with which the bear
ers are supplied.
Triangular bandages are chiefly used
on the battlefield, made from a 3S Inch
square of linen or calico, cut diagonal
ly into halves. Almost anything that
comes to band may be used as Impro
vised splints— sticks, telegraph wire,
bark of trees, straw, rifles, bayonets,
lances and so on. The splint, if neces
sary, is padded with straw or leaves
or grass and is fastened with straps
torn from the soldier's equipment or
with strips of a shirt, securely bound
with the triangular bandage. Bound
up with the rifle splint, a wounded
man Is made so secure that he can
hardly - move a muscle. One leg Is
firmly bound to the rifle, and the an
kles are tied together, so that the In
jured limb Is almost as rigid as the
rifle at Its side. — London Standard.
A Cheerful Liar.
"I have followed trout streams ever
since I was a boy," said a Providence
crank, "and have tried to solve for
many years the cause of the apparent
decrease In brook trout. Recently I
think I discovered the cause of the ex
termination. I was fishing along a
brook near Oakland Beach, R. 1., when
I saw a large snake with a half masti
cated trout in its mouth. . The action
of the suake interested me, and, stand-
Ing quietrl studied the snake closely.
."On the end of the snake's tail was a
sharp bony growth shaped like a hook.
After a few moments my watching
was rewarded by seeing the snake
glide over to some bushes growing
along the bank and catch a grasshop
per In Its mouth. The snake then
placed . the grasshopper carefully on
the hooklike thing on the end of Its
tail.
"By this time my curiosity was thor
oughly aroused," continued the fisher
man. "The spake crawled up on a log
that extended from the bank Into the
brook and let its tail bang into the wa
ter. In a moment up came a trout
and 'snapped at the grasshopper. It
was short work for the snake to trans
fer tbe fish from its tall to its mouth,
and I had solved the problem of the ex
termination of brook trout."— Cleve-
Plaln Dealer.
Tempering Copper Not a l<ost Art.
The allegation that ancient Egyptians
tempered copper and bronze to carry a
razor edge is not borne out by Investi
gation. Thomas Harper of Bellevue.
Pa., challenges any one to produce a
piece of metal tempered by thi? an
cients that cannot be more than dupli
cated by any metal worker today. He
says that in examining buqdrpds of
specimens alleged to have been temper
ed to the degree that steel Is tempered
lie failed to find any, nor bad he dis
covered any one who had ' seen sucU
work, and the fable which lists beeu
implicitly believed for centuries is be
ing shattered in the light of modern re
search.
This Is not the ouly story believed for
centuries tending to belittle the man of
today, to make him the Inferior of his
forefathers, which failed .under the
searchlight of Inquiry and science. The
ancients were children in mechanical
knowledge as compared to the people
of today, and if there was a clenwn<l
for any particular buildinjr or piece of
work such as was produced by the on
cients it could be duplicated and im
proved on by the skilled artisans of the
nineteenth century.— American Manu
facturer.

"I am sorry to disappoint you. young
man," said the great railway magnate
to the reporter who had called in for
the purpose of writing him up, "but
