Among the wilder tribes of the Caucasus every child is taught to use the dagger almost as soon as he can walk. The children first learn to stab water without making a splash, and by incessant practice acquire an extraordinary command over the weapon. The King of Greece has a pleasant way of spending some of his summer months. He turns farmer, and works as hard as though lie was a land labourer. He can plough a field, cut and bind corn; in short, keep a fa:m going from start to finish, as though it was his livelihood.
