derived emolument from granting ad-

Apropos of the sword of state, we
learn elsewhere, with regard to the
coronation of her Majesty, that "the
Q,neen, riding up and. going toll* al-
tar, offers the sword there in the
scabbard, delivering it to the Arch-
bishop, who places it on the altar. -The
Queen then returns and sits down in
King Edward's chair,and the Lord
who first received the sword offereth
the price of it, and having thus re-
deemed it reeeiveth it frona off the
altar by the Dean of Westminster,
and draweth it out Of the scabbard
and carries it naked before her Ma-
jesty during the rest of the solemn-
ity." Lord Melbourne wos the sword -
bearer at the last; coronation, and the
ptioe of the redemption of the sword
was; as was always customary, 100 shil-

IDLE SOLDIERS
Only a *Wan Portiolt of au Army Ever
In Action.
Modern war is such a complex busi-
ness, and so many things besides
fighting h.ave to be done, that a very
large part of an army never fires a
shot. Even of the soldiers actually
opposed to the enemy, only a portion
came into conflict in any battle.
For instance, General Buller must
have had some 24,000 men at the bat-
tle of the Tugela River, yet we are
told that only 10,009 troops went in-
to action.
The explanation of ehis apparently
curious fact is that armies don't fight
now in dense masses like long ago.
The terrible hail of bullets from
magazine rifles and Maxims; as well
as the destruetive power of shells
charged with "high explosives,"
would annihilate an army in dense
formation. Hence the fighting troops
have to scatter themselves over a
line 15, 20 and even 301'miles long.
Gf course, the chances of battle
bring it about that, while the fight-
ing becomes very hot and fierce in
certain spots, the troops ixi other
parts of the line don't comet into con-
tact with; the enemy at all. This is
why certain battalions lose an appall-
ing number of men, while others come
off with a few casualties. In the great
battle of ICoeniggratz - the biggest
battle of this nentury-it is said that
92,000 Prussians and 80.000 Austrians
did not fire a single shoe
