The BRITISH UNIFORM.
ft Is Decidedly Theatrical But Unsuitable
for Hard Service.

The practice of clothing soldiers. by
regiments, in one uniform dress was
not introduced by Louis XIV. till 1865,
and did not become general In our army
for many years afterward. |; is, how
ever, curious to note, that for the hard
marching and many bodily exercises
which fall TO the soldiers lot on active
service, our army was more suitably
dressed in tho reigns OF William Ill.
and of Queen Anne than 1t has been
generally this century. We have lately
done something to improve our style OF
soldiers dress, but no men tod up as
ours arc in tightly-ftting tunics can do
satisfactory days work during war.
We dress our sailors for the work they
have to do, but we still cling to o
theatrical style of garments for
the soldier. There are, however,
some difficulties attached to this ques-
tion of dress in an army raised as ours is,
on a system of voluntary enlistment
We must make the soldiers clothing ac-
ceptable to the mon who have to wear
1t, and, strange to say, they like very
tightly-fitting coats and trousers, to
swagger about in with their sweet
hearts. They like those ridiculous for
age-caps stuck on the side of their
either sun or rain. Isuppose the house
maid Jill" prefers her soldier Jack"
in this outlandish costume, for la no
other way can / understand why the
wesrers should like such tswdry and
uncomfortable fnery. The change
hoped for generally is that we should
have TWO costumes-one, for active serv-
ice and field maneuvers, of the color we
use in India-it is = light tawny, re-
sembling that OF tho hare-and fitting
very easily everywhere, especially
about the throat; the othcr, scarlet
and very smart, and ornamented
with braids and buttons as at present
to satisfy the young soldier and his
Mary Anne" In all our recent little
wars we have used a special dress made
for the occasion, and what we now want
is to make that special dress the un-
dress uniform of the army. Is there
any one outside lunatic asylum who
would go on a walking tour, or shoot in
the backwoods or the prairies, trussed
and dressed as the British soldier is?
This applies to all ranks, for l confess
to feeling that the dressed-up monkey
on barrel organ bears strong rcsem-
blance to the British General in his
meaningless cooked hat and feathers of
the last century, and in his very expen-
sive coat, besmeared both before and
behind with gold lace.-General Vis-
count Wolseley, X. p, etc, in Harper's
MAGAZINE

They manage dinners for poor children
trifle more economically in Edinburgh
than elsewhere, In Edinburgh 1t is
found possible to supply for half penny
a wholesome meal of vegetable broth
and bread. Scotch children thrive on
the various savory thick soups OF many
ingredients for which the cuisine OF tho
country is celebrated, and unfortunately
soup of any kind, clear or thick, is rare
ly prepared in the home OF the English
poor. Solid meat bread and potatoes
form the staple diet. In too many
cases in England bones are only re-
garded as useful to the rag and bono

SINGULAR ASSAULT
A Violin Maker Fastened to Floor with
u COntsr- -lsit.


One Of tho most extraordinary cases
on record has just come before the POI
lice court Of the Seine. In July last n
man named Dubois took n room In the
Rue Travcrsicre, AMI one of his first
acts was 10 PITT up a swing-lamp. In
order to fix it he began boring hole in
the ceiling with conter-bit, and was
hard at work when the concierge and
some OF the tenants rushed into the
room and called upon him to stop, as
sorting that he had pierced the ceiling
and impalcd tho tenant who occupied
the room above. lie went upstairs
with them and found the tenant inques-
tion, n violn-makcr, sitting fixed to tho
floor and writhing in agony.
Tho instrument was cautiously with
drawn from his llosh, but the injury in
hictcd was so serious that he was con-
fined to his bed for three months, The
case caused a great deal of amusement
in court to every one but the poor violin
maker, who was only awarded $50 francs
compensation for three months loss Of
work, while Dubois was fined sixteen
francs for negligence. That man
should have been sitting on the floor
exactly above tho spot whcre the hole
was being bored is extraordinary. But
that his cries should not have been
heard by his tormentor is still more re-
markablc. -Galigani's Messenger.
