The Introduction of Trousers.

Trousers appear to have been intro
duced into Rome at comparatively
late period, and as part of the mill
tary uniform. They are worn by the
Roman soldiers represented ON Trojan's
column, as we'll as by barbarians. The
Greeks had never adopted them. With
their instructive sense of beauty they
had recognized that these are the only
garments that can not POSSIBLY be
made graceful. A sleeve may become
part of the drapery of a figure; a
trouser leg is more obstinate in its
ugliness. If tight it bags on the knees

Objectionable shape. If somewhat loose
it takes petty and meaningless folds

disguise 1t as a skirt, but the result is
not entirely satisfactory. If the
trousers do not appear to give freedom

which should always struggle for an
ideal. So thought the Greeks when

The spider is weather prophet by

YOU whether the wind will blow soft or
rough. whether the rain will fall or the
sun will shine. Long before the ap-
proach of the wind or rain he will
shorten the long threads by. which his
web is suspended, so strengthening his
net during the time of storm, and he
will not alter matters until the weather
has settled down again. Whenever q
spider rests at his ease look out for q

hand, be active during the shower, de-
pend upon it the rain will not last
long, and will soon give way TO fine
