The Ugliness of Trou sers,

Trousers appear to have been intro
duced into Rome at comparatively late
period and as part of the military uni
form. They are worn by the Roman
soldiers represented on Trajan's column
as well as by barbarians. The Greeks
had never adopted them. With their in
stinctive sense of beauty they had recog-
nized that these are the only garments
that cannot possibly be made graceful.
A sleeve may become part of the dra-
perry Of figure. A trousers leg is more
obstinate in its ugliness. If tight, it
bags at the knees on the third wearing.
Yet this is perhaps its least objections
BILE shape. If somewhat loose, it takes
petty and meaningless folds Some orr
entail nations have tried to disguise it as
Q skirt, but the result is not entirely sat
isfactory. II the trousers do not appear
to give freedom to the leg. they have lost
their principal merit. Compromise,
which is the life of politics, is the death
of art, which should always struggle aft
er an ideal. So thought the Greeks when
they entirely renounced for themselves
the barbarous antaioons.-Scribner's.

water, water everywhere. nor any
drop to drink" Few people beside sail
Ors can appreciate the terrible import of
these simple words. A correspondent
writes that on short whaling, or, as
sailors say, plum pudding voyage -
which he once made in the brig Arnol-
da Of Nantucket, Shubael Higgins, mas
ter, they ran short Of water. and at last
the captain decided to put into Goree.
on the west coast Of Africa. AS they
neared the Cape de Verde islands. how
ever, and got into what are known 10
sailors as the horse latitudes, the wind
fell calm, and the vessel drifted idly on
the water.
As day after day passed with no signs
Of wind. Captain Higgins became impa-
tient. The surface of the ocean was as
smooth as q mirror. and as the long.
heavy swells came from the regions OF
the trade winds. the vessel rolled and
tossed about like a cork upon the water.
We furled the square sails to prevent
their being worn outin slamming against

the sheets hauled taut. which eased ner
somewhat iii her rolling.
BY this time the water had r-in 50
short that the captain felt obliged 10
adopt some plan to avoid all unnecessa~y
drinking.
Calling me to his side, he said, Boy.
bring me new tin dipper from the glop
chest"
did SO. Then tho captain had al
hands called aft.
Men," he said, Il have always dread
ed to put my crew on short allowance,
but the time has come when somethin.
must be dones to save what little wat r
we have left
With that he took piece of spun yar,
from his pocket, and tied it to the handll
OF the dipper. Then turning to me, he
said, Take this to the masthead and ti.
it there"
Now said he, addressing the men,
''you can have all the water you want to
drink. but you must first go to the top OF
the mast and get the dipper, and after
drinking all you need you must carry
the dipper back and tie it to the mas.
again. Under no conditions will one of
you pass the dipper to another. Every
man must get the dipper for himself. In
case of sickness, Twill send the boy aloft
for the sick man. This rule will apply
to all on board, myself included"
At first we regarded the matter as a
joke on the captains part, but as the
days Wore on and each Of us made his
trip aloft after the dipper the novelty
wore off. We soon found, however. that
the captains plan for saving water was
very etfectual one The ships scuttle
butt, which formerly we had been
obliged to replenish from the casks every
other day. would now run a week with
out refilling.
We were becalmed just co days. Then
the trade wind set in, and we proceeded
to Goree ard refilled our casks. But the
memory Of the trips made aloft after
that dipper and the spirit in which Cap
tain Higgins performed his part Of the
contract. left an impression on my mind
which remains to this day.-Youth's
