Origin of the Scarlet Uniform.

We have Cromwell's own testi-
mony that diversity Of clothing" in
the Parliamentary army had led to
the Staying of friends by friends"
When, therefore, in the autumn of
1914 the Parliament decided to re-
organize the army, it decided, at
whose motion we know not, to dress
it one color And as the new model
army created by the ordinance of
February 10, 1644-45, is the true germ
of the present. army so ITS dress is
the true germ Of the present uni
form.
1.-THE men are all RedcOats all the
whole army only are distinguished
by the several fqcings of their coats.
The Firelocks (who were attached to
the train of artillery only are some
Of them tawny coats"
So wrote correspondent to the
newspapers after visit to Fairtax's
army in April, 1915.
Thus the British army clothed in
the royal scarlet, was rebel army.
The first regiment Of horse (the
Ironsides reorganized) and of foot
wore scarlet with blue facings, which
is the present mark of royal" regi-
ment, and to put the finishing touch
on the picture the new clothing was
served under the shadow of Royal
Windsor.
Finally the first action of this first
army of redcoats was against the
King in person at Naseby though
even there, not content with distinc-
tion of dress, the RoyaIists "wore
beans in their hats" and the Parlia-
mentarians "handkerchiefs or some
thing white"

ONE Andrew Jones was prosecuted
in a Chicago police court the other
day. and he seems to be one Of those
flrst-class fellows to retire from active
circulation in any community if the
stories of the police are correct.
They say he robbed the corpse Of his
roommate and sold the body to med
ical students for dissection. 1t APP
pears that Jones roomed with young
man named johnson, who was taken
i'll. The latter wrote to his old
mother in Jackson, Miss, asking for
aid to get home. The old woman
worked fifteen weeks in order to save
money enough to buy railroad
ticket from Chicago to Jackson. In
the meantime Johnson had died.
Jones received the ticket, forged John
sons name and sold the ticket 70 a
scalper. Then he sold his room
mates corpse to medical college for
$40. Jones was arrested on a charge
of forgery, but the case was dis
missed because the only competent
witness was dead. He was then ar
rested on a charge of larceny but
was again dismissed because the sale
Of the ticket had been entrusted to
him. Again he was arrested On a
charge of obtaining money under
false pretenses. On this charge he
was held. Jones is ''the meanest
man" that the world has so long been
trying to identify. Salt him down.
Lay him away There is no room
for him in any town unless it is
grated and barred.

The King of Siam who, according
to late reports, has had palace con-
structed which he can submerge in
the sea at will, and so live under
water whenever he chooses. is not the
only monarch who has INDUCED in
eccentricitieS of this sort
For instance, history has preserved
the memory Of the ice palace built by
the Russian Empress Anne, who
punished several OF her dainty cour-
TIERS by compelling them to pass the
night in this great chamber Of state,
when they were almost frozen to
death.
The Gar Paul, ancestors of the
present Emperorof Russia, construct
ed room formed entirely OF huge
mirrors, where he spent hours walk
ing to and fro in lull uniform-a
singular taste for the ugliest man in
Russia.
One of the native princes of Java
cooled his palace by making a stream
fall in cascade over the gateway;
and the Indian despot Tippo Sahib
placed beside his dinner table a life
size figure of tiger devouring an En-
glish officers, the roar of the beast
and the shrieks of the victim being
initiated by hidden machinery.

Attrnctive and Treatment.

The fact being established that the
ozone in the atmosphere, the element
which is the great purifier, is mainly
supplied from blooming flowers, their
presence in the house can no longer
be objected TO on the score of I'M
wholesomeness. They are beneficial
as we'll as beautiful Some interest
ing ext erlments with the odors Of
flowers have been made in the Old
World, and it is found that many
species of microbes are easily de-
stroyed by various odors. The odor
OF cloves has been known to destroy
these minute creatures in twenty-five
minutes. Cinnamon will kill some
species in twelve minutes thyme in
thirty-five. In fOrty-aye minutes the
common wild verbena is found eff

anium flowers has destroyed various
forms of microbes in fifty minutes.
the essence Of cinnamon is said to de-

effective of all odors as an antiseptic.

FestivaI of the Looks.

Among the many fete days observed
in French villages is one peculiar to
Lebarre, hamlet Of 300 souls at the
foot Of the hill of Montmorency 1t
Is known as 1.-THE Festival Of the
Locks, so called from the name of a
cake retailed on the occasion, and
which is supposed to offer some an
aiogy in shape with the instrument
used to fasten doors, The clocks"
are made OF the best kind Of meal
flour, mixed with butter and little
water, and the paste is properly
pulled by means Of u roller before
being put in the oven. They are
half. circular in form, and hayea hole
scooped out in the middle, which is
stuffed with minced meat. Each
cake costs about cents, and is very
palatable, This pastry is neither
made nor sold anywhere else than at
Lebarre, and even there only during
the week Of the fete, which COM
mences every year on the first or sec
ond Sunday in september after the
vintage. or course every visitor to
the place on that occasion makes tia
point to eat at least one OF these
rarlties, and to wash it down with a
fagon of new wine at one or another
of the two pot-houses il the hamlet.
The origin Of the cake has been traced
to a village festival given in honor of
Jean Jacques Rousseau, at the time
Madame d'Epinay lived and loved at
the Chateau de la Chevrette, in the
vicinity; but the thought is strong
within the writer that 1t is a survival
Of an old heather rite long since for
gotten, and which was merely revived
on the occasion above alluded to.
Within living memory it was custom
airy to put black mark on some Of
the oat cakes served along with
whisky in public houses at Ruther-
glen, near Glasgow. Few, If any OF
those who observed this custom in
baking the cakes latterly could have
the least notion Of what their action
implied; its origin may be found in
the Old heather practice at the feasts
of Baal of giving bread with black
mark upon it to those unhappy per-
sons who were selected as victims to
be sacrificed. So, in like manner, it
is not improbable that the bit of
minced meat that figures in the
clock" is modified perpetuation Of
some SuperStitiouS observance

MANY women expose themselves
reCklessly to robbers They go into
thoroughfares and public places car
rying costly bags on frail chains or
frazier clasps They wear diamonds
in their ears from breakfast all day.
They advertise their possession Of fine
watches by showing them conspicu-
ously on their gowns, in most cases
secured by slight attachments. They
carry we'll filed purses In their hands
and often lay the tempting articles
down absent-mindedly in stores and
on cafe tables. At street corners,
when waiting for cars, they will open
wallets disclosing rolls of bills, and,
having extracted a small amount Of
change, will drop the wallet into an
outside pocket where the observant
thief will easily find it, hustling the
unsuspectlng victim In a crowd or
sitting beside her in a car A rich
woman of New York who is missing
went out early in the day with sew
eral thousand dollars worth of dia-
mOnds on her person. 1t is feared,
and justly, that she has been waylaid
for the Jewels. The wonder is that
more women are not robbed.

AN American college professor, re-

plains OF the reception he met with
at the United States legation in
London. Desiring to visit the mill
tary Academy at Woolwich, the pro.
fessor, in compliance with regulations
governing admission to that institu-
tion, applied to the secretary Of the
American Embassy for a card, This
official asked for some Identification,
and the professor produced his pass
port, bearing his signature and at
tested by the Secretary of State.
This was not deemed sufficient, and
the applicant for favors was informed
that he must bring letter from his
banker His letter Of credit, also
bearing his signature, was produced
and rejected as being insufficient to
establish identity. The man of learn
ing refused to make further efforts to
impress on the Secretary's mind that
he was the person he represented
himself to be, and departed, The
professor should reflect that the Sec
rotary was doing his best to earn his
salary. That probably was the first
work he had performed since he ac-
knowledged on behalf of the minis
ter, the last invitation to Lord Pedi-
gree's dinner The Secretary of an
American legation is often obliged to
work overtime toI find work to do,
and the professor should not censure
the one in London for having gotten
out of his visit all the labor there
was in it,

Small Agents and Great Work.

1t is the little things that count
much oftener than we are apt to sup
pose. Agencies apparently so trivial
as to be almost beneath notice have
changed, and are changing the face
Of the earth. So comparatively in
significant form Of vegetation as
moss, for instance, may not only
effect the aspect of a landscape, but
may, in the course of time, power
fully assist in giving a new character
to a continent.
One of the most surprising results
of recent scientific investigations in
Greenland is the indication of the
wonderful work moses are perform
ing there Where glaciers have
ceased to advance, or have become
dead" various species Of MOSES
have found a foCthold on them, and
gradually overspread them with q
mantle of green. The amount Of
vegetable matter slowly deposited by
these Greenland MOSES is so consid-
cradle that it has been suggested that
this deposit will be Of great impor-
tance in the future history of that
strange land.
1t is known that in past geologi-
cal age Greenland was not the dreary,
ice-sheeted continent that it is to-
day, but a beautiful Land, almost
tropical in appearance in some re-
spects And it, in the future, geo.
illogical or astronomical causes should
bring about return to the former
conditions, when Greenland was
really green" the rich stores of veg
etable material now accommodating
there through the growth Of MOSES
amid the ice will give wealth to the
soil of the regenerated continent.
What can be more interesting to a
thoughtful mind than such evidences
of foresight by which, from age to
age, are provided the means and
agencies that revoluti0nize the earth.

co6WEBS AS MEDICINE.
They Are Not Spider Webs and They Are
Used to Cure Asthma.

The "cobweb cure" for asthma has
occasioned a great deal Of comment
throughout the country. The family
In Wooster, OHIO, who effected the
cure OF daughter by this peculiar
remedy, thought they owed il to the
public to make the case known, never
expecting that the publication OF the
matter would cause them to be del
uged with letters inquiring about the
alleged cure. At first the family UNI
dertook TO answer inquiries, but when
the letters reached hundreds daily
the head OF the household, who is en-
gagged In other business, found it
would require the entire time of him
self and family to attend to the large
correspondence. So he had circulars
printed in which he gave particulars
Of the method and for these he
charges a fee in order to limit in
some measure the number of in
quiries. He charges 81 for three
'cobweb pills" and In speaking Of
the matter, said II have to crawl
around garrets and a.! sorts of dirty
places to get the webs. | then have
to clean them, All this takes time,
and | feel If it is not worth a dollar
it is not worth cent. Then there
is the matter of discerning the diff
ference between spiders webs and
cobwebs. l have heard from a num-
Der of people, who undertook to cure
themselves that they were made very
sick through the poison of spiders
webs which they thought the same
as cobwebs. 1t is generally thought
that cobweb is deserted spiders
web An authority says that a cob
web is not SPIDERS web. Although
Webster and the Century Dictionary
have it defined as such, the authority
claims that both have made mistakes
A cobweb, says this writer, is formed
in some manner as yet unexplained,
by the adhesion of particles of i'm
palpable floating dust apparently
selt-coherent, and the results u veil
like web without any approach to
regularity Of FORM therein differing
from the true SPIDERS web. The cob
web is many times heavier than a
spiders web and is never occupied by
a spider or any other insect 1t is
most frequently found in rooms that
have long been darkened and are
slightly damp, and generally has sew
eral tilamentous pendants OF varying
length. 1t is never fastened across
space from one point to another, but
is invariably pendulous The writer
warns people against the danger of
taking spiders webs, as he says many
cases Of serious illness have resulted
from swallowing them. While this
authority may be correct, it is very
difficult to make people believe that
the cobweb is not made by spider
or some other insect. One man told
me that the substance of the cobweb
is vegetable" The Wooster case Of
asthma, which, by the way, is the
only case upon which the alleged cure
is founded, was cured by three pills.
Cobwebs have been taken internally
for other diseases. 1t is considered
by some an unfaiIing specific for ague,
The danger OF making a mistake in
administering spiders webs for cob
webs should cause people to be care
full in the use Of this novel remedy
