Mon VINO Wear uniform..

A quarter of century ago there was
strong feeling among wage-earners
against wearing any distinctive uniform.
Even when the proposition was first
made to clothe the police Of the city in a
uniform there was a strong opposition
by the members of the force, and many
citizens sided with them. The only
uniform which at all times has possessed
an attractive appearance is that of the
militia, although a sailor clad in his suit
of blue is always an object of envy on
the part of the small boy and Of admira'
ton on the part of his older sister
Uncle Sans servants in the postal de-
partment of the government were
obliged to don gray suits. The move at
first met with strong disapproval, but 1t
was put into practice. Then the tele-
graph companies adopted distinctive
suit for their messengers, the ferry COM
Danies ordered their deckhands, pilots,
oridge-tenders, and ticket-talers to pro-
vide themselves with uniform. The
,team railroads and horse-car companies
we're not slow in following this example.
The district messenger companies, as
zach entered the field, were accompanied
BY 6 small army Of boys clad in blue or
rrav. The ticket takers and guards on
he elevated railroads had TO provide

THE WOMEN OF SCOTLAND.

The Scotch GIrl-Tau People-HeaIthy
Physfques as a RuIe-Head Dress.
These Scotch people are very fine looking,
and their faces have great strength of feature
and at the same time much refinement The
Scotch girls are exceptionally fine looking,
and even among the lower classes you see
very many refined faces. In the stores there
are lady clerks who would pass muster as
well-bred girls anywhere, and many Of the
barmaids in the whisky shops are beauties.
The women of Scotland do q great deal of
work. A white-capped, middle-aged, rosy
checked lady usually presides over each Of the
largest hotels, and nearly all of the railway
restaurants are managed by women Both
sexes in Scotland have, as a rule, good healthy
physiques. There are more tall men and wo-
men than in America They have better COM
plexions, more active walk and are as rule,
stronger and healthier.
Speaking of Scotch girls, saw great num-
bers of them in the trip took down the
Clyde to Rothsay, which is the great summer
watering place of Scotland They, as a rule,
dress very well, though I don't think they
show the style of our American girls Their
head gear is especially queer, and sometimes
in bad taste. The fashionable thing here
seems to be TO wear mems caps and to choose
the ugliest shapes and styles you can find. A
favorite one is a fiat skull cap with a long
rim behind and in front 1t hides the eyes
and is not at all pretty. Another style is cap,
used great deal When on the right girl
it is not bad, and the same may be said of the
Scotch turban. This turban is used both by
men and women. Sdll another style has long
ribbons hanging down the back. and it is OF
the same style used by the soldiers OF some OF
the Highland regiments. These soldiers are
bare-legged fellows with short plaid dresses,
and they form a o11aar- cieri,t fbou cfr-rt
along, working for glory at twenty cents
n day.
These soldiers of Great Britain you meet
everywhere, and very pompous fellows they
are. The Highlanders are less so than the
others, who come from the low lands, some of
whom dress in red coats and white panta-
looms, and others who have short red waists
and little caps stuck ON the side of their heads

THE WANDERERS RETURN.

How cold upon my passion blows the
wind.
Over the old sweet helds-so sweet
that /
Could wander more, yet for all memory
Not sweet enough. Beloved, ahi have 1
sinned,
That all but these dumb fields look so I'M
kind,
And I, without e'en one familiar face,
Must see the darkness in the sunny
place,
And set my feet here, wandering stin in
minds"
Then glancing up, if heaven might look
sweet
Upon his sorrow, one bright star be
spied.
But as he gazed his hungry eyes grew
dim,
And the star seemed so many worlds from
him.
Heart sick. he turned; and in the pool
beside,
Lol the same star was shining at his feet.
