REIGN OF ATTILA.
Barbario Brutality of That Savage
King of tho Huns.
Atllln was a barbarous king of the
Huns who reigned from the year 431 to
453 of the Christian era, but be hud no
religion except that of brutality, con
quest and loot. He ruled with all the
weapons known In that day, and his
hordes were compelled to follow blin
by the same means, as he had no mercy
on any who showed the least lack of
fealty to him or mercy to the con
quered. For a considerable part of his
reign It Is said that his Individual word
was law over a vast territory extend
ing from the Caspian sea to the river
Rhine. As a leader he was fearless
and masterful and savage. Ue called
himself "the Scourge of God."
He ruled Jointly with his brother for
several years, but wanted no division
of the spoils, and his royal brother was
disposed of as others of the royalties
of that region have beeu disposed of.
Fie founded the city of Budn. made it
his capital and from it directed the
slaying aud looting wherever then; was
anything to get that was worth hav
ing. Ue laid waste in the most ruthless
manner some of the Hurst and richest
cities of what are now Greece, Italy,
Spain, France and all the territory
north of that, levying heavy tribute
everywhere and burnlug ind killing
where tribute was not promptly paid.
nc conquered the powerful Byzan
tine emjieror, Theodos'.'s. In 4 18. de
stroying hundreds of cents of architec
ture and art. aud compelled the em
peror to pay to him the last money
possible. lie again laid waste all the
eastern empires In 450 and then gave
his attention to Gaul in (he west with
an army said to have been 700,000
strong, but this is thought by some
historians to be an exaggeration How
ever. that army was strong enough to
do its will In all that legion, lie thi n
made an attempt by force and cunning
to detach Theodorlc. king of West
Goths, from his alliance with the Bo
mans under their general. Actios; but.
failiug in that, he gave battle to tlie
allies near Chalons, on the Catalanlitn
fields, and there had- his lirst real re
verse.
The allies failed to follow up their
victory, and the following year Attila
and his savage hordes laid waste all
northern Italy and had arrnnued for
an assault on Borne, but he had just
had an example of the prowess of the
Bomati soldiers and when he heard that
i they had eoneentrated there in great
numbers he desisted
Arduous campaigns and Intemperate
living had sapped his strength, and In
453. on the very night when he mar
rled ildiko, a Bnrguudian princess,
"the Scourge of God" was himself
scourged Into another world.
An Error Perpetuated.
The compositor, who has been ac
cused of many things, seems really to
have been responsible for the fixing of
the festiva' of St Alban. the first Brit
ish martyr, on June 17 In the English
calendar. All other saints recognized
by the English and Boman churches
in common are honored on the same
days In both calendars, but iu the
Boman calendar St. Albans day is
June 22. In all English prayer books
also, prior to MiG2. St Alban is corn
memornted on June 22. and the pres
cnt discrepancy seems to have arisen
from the typesetter of the prayer book
of 1CG2 mistaking the X of XNI1 for
V and renderiug the date June XVII
—an error which has been perpetuated
ever since.— l>ondon Chrou'cle

PRESENCE OF MIND.
t Saved General do Segur From the
Fury of the Kalmucla.
Id Xapoicoq's campaign in Russia
one of his geueniLs. I'hllippe de Segur,
had a peculiar adventure with a band
if Kalmucks. Tutt Kalmucks are wan
dering tribes of southeastern Russia.
fhe.v are lieive warriors, and their
light cavairv forms an Important pari
of Russian armies. De Segues pres
eni'c of mind saved biro from being
killed by them when the most desper
rate lighting could not have done so.
The French had attacked a body of
Russians and put them to flight, when
Segur suddenly discovered that be and
a few French dragoons had become
separated from the French army and
were being carried away with the re
treating party.
lie and his men were surrounded by
a band of Kalmucks. The situation
seemed so hopeless that the men gave
themselves up and, disregarding his
orders, passively allowed themselves
to be struck down Pe Segur deter
mined to sell his life dearly and contln
tied to fiulit. a Kalmuck lance struck
hitu from his horse lie Jumped to bis
feet and. getting behind Ids horse, con
tinued the struggle. It was a hopeless
contest, however, and In a few mo
ments lie would have been killed had
not a happy thought occurred to blra.
The Kalmuck leader, a tine looking
Cossack, remained calm while his men
were carried away with the fury of
battle. Tiie expression on his haughty
countenance Indicated that he scorned
to murder a vanquished foe. and from
time to time be called, "Nilcale, nlkalel"
De Segur guessed that this was nn
order to cease fighting. Be shouted Im
periously to the Kalmucks that sur
rounded him, "Nlkale!''
Immediately the fury died out of
their faces, and they paused, motion
less with astonishment Their fury
once checked, Segur's life was saved
by their chief.
He learned afterward that the word
meant "Do not strike" and that while
the impetuous Kalmucks had not heed
ed the command of their chief they
were puzzled and disturbed ot hearing
this word of their native dialect from
the mouth of ono whom they supposed
to be an enemy.
De Segur was kept a prisoner until a
peace between France and Russia was
arranged some months later.— Ex

German Helmets.
German military, helmets, though
made of steel, are as light almost as
a cloth cap or a straw hat, and more
comfortable than a bowler. Ronnd the
inside, where the helmet touches, Is a
ring of metal "leaf springs" bound
with leather, which lightly clips the
head to keep the helmet on without
heavy pressure. The brass spike or
knob that crowned the helmet is made
useful as well as ornamental. There
are large holes in It, which give very
good ventilation to the inside of the
helmet—much better than the pin
holes that are supposed to ventilate a
bowler. In fact, the Germans seem to
have succeeded In making a really
comfortable bowler out of paper thin
steeL—Manchester Guardian.
A Military Compliment.
During the South African war in
order was issued to the men of o
Uighland regiments that they a. t
cover up their tartan kilts as they
made too good targets for the enemy.
The order proved very unpopular and
caused a great deal of dissatisfaction
nmong the soldiers concerned. When
Sir George White heard this he thought
of a way out of the difficulty.
"Let them cover up only the front
of their kilts," he said. "The enemy
will never see the other side."—Lon
