UNCLE SANS SOLDIERS.
Soon They Will Wear a New
Style Of Uniform.
The Old-FashIoned Cap viii he Sup
planted by Nobby Piece OF Head
gesr-something Entirely
New In Coats.

Styles in army uniforms are changing
this summer. The order does not come
from the prince of Wales or from any
autocratic New York or London tailor,
but from the sole arbiter of fashions
for army men, the secretary of war.
A new order has been issued, to go
into effect July L, materially changing
the style of the officers undress uni
forms. To military man the matter
of dress is most important, not from
any feeling of personal vanity, but as a
part of the regular and orderly discip-
line, the national peculiarities and the
traditions of service which form the
largest element in the life of every good
soldier.
Following is the text of the new or
der in part. 1t affects both staff and
line officers and enlisted men:
BY direction of the secretary of war
the undress coat and the undress cap
for all officers, except chaplains, and
the undress cap for all enlisted men,
are adopted according to the following
general descriptions and patterns in
the Office of the quartermaster general:
A single-breasted sack coat of dark
blue cloth or serge with standing col
lar. The coat to be trimmed with lus-
trous black mohair fiat braid. This
coat will be worn when full dress is
not required. During the warm season
post commanders may authorize this
coat made of white duck or flannel, to
be worn with white braid, but without
shoulder straps or collar insignia.
On undress duty plaid leather belt
will be worn under the undress coat,
the sword hook emerging through the
opening of the coat on the left side.
For field service, or when the pistol is
carried, the belt will be worn outside
the undress coat when SO directed by
the commanding officer.
The insignia for officers undress coats
will be as follows:
For all officers, the letters 81. g."
Gothic design, of suitable height, each
followed by a period, embroidered in
gold or made of gold or gilt metal,
fastened to each side of the collar.
For all officers of the staff corps and
departments, their distinctive insignia,

paratively few were left, and these
were brought before the Pope, who
tried to show them the fruitlessness
of their endeavor, and advised them
to return home, but told them that
when they were grown they must full
fill their VOWS and fight for the recov-
cry of the sepulchre. Many took his
advice and started back on the long
homeward journey. They had looked
in vain for the promised miracle and
their disappointment had weakened
their faith.
The other division of the Germans
travelled as far as Brindisi, where they
met with the greatest cruelty. In
this city they, also, were advised by
the bishop of the city to abandon
their dreams of conquest, and many
willingly accepted this counsel. Some
however, would not relinquish the
hope that had borne them through so
many dangers, and these embarked
for the Holy Land, but were never
heard of again.
The route of the French children
was much easier, as it was only to
Marseilles. They, too, were sadly
disappointed because there was no
miracle, but two merchants of the
city offered to send the children free
OF charge in their ships. Very gladly
was this offer accepted and the little
ones embarked, blessing the mer-d
chants for their kind deed. During
the voyage violent storm arose in
which two vessels were lost, but for
the others still more horrible fate
was in store. The merchants, who
had seemed SO generous, were really
slave dealers who were sending these
helpless children into the hands of
the Saracens. They were separated
by their captors, some being taken to
Alexandria and others to Bagdad. 1t
is Merchandising to think OF these
children who set out SO full of victory
and JOY, only to find failure, death or
lives of misery and shame.
The Saracens tried by every means
to induce these children to embrace
Mohammedanism, but the children
chung Loyalty to Christianity in spite
of persuasion, threats and death.
Eighteen were martyrs faithful unto
death" to the cross for which they
had endured so much.
One of the results of the Children's
Crusade was that the grown people
not wishing to be outdone in zeal and
effort by the little ones, were aroused
to new interest in the war for the
recovery of the sepulchre, and this is
not at all strange, for even now, so
long afterwards, it is impossible not
to be touched by an example of such
wonderful devotion.

A BOURBON PRINCE IN A MERICA.

The death of the Comte de Paris. who
perhaps had as many real friends as any
of his Bourbon ancestors, has recalled
to many distinguished Americans some
incidents connected with his short stay
in America. He seems to have i'm
pressed every one he met with his cour-
teousness and his gentlemanly and schol-
arly bearing. 1t is not uninteresting,
therefore, to hear this account of two
meetings he had with one of our most
Boston, who was in England in 1863 on
important diplomatic business.
This gentleman, at the invitation Of
our minister. Charles Francis Adams,
had accompanied him, with one or two
warm friends of America, including that
prince of merchants Thomas Barring, to
an English breakfast in the country.
Such an informal entertainment, when
we'll carried out. is one of the pleasantest
that stranger can find anywhere, with
it's freedom from white chokers, swallow
tail coats, and other shackles, which
make an English swell dinner the most
detestable of tasks to plain folks.
At this informal breakfast, with about
half dozen in all, they found the young
Comte de Paris guest. He seemed
little over twenty years old, tall, grave.
quiet, with very much the demeanor one
would like in any we'll bred undergrad
uate of one of our colleges, and without
an atom of the vivacity which we attach
to the French young man, or the as
sumption of dignity which too often
marks the scion of aristocracy or no.

The young prince met his older Amer

FRIENDS IN HEAVEN.

AS distant lands beyond the sea,
When friends go thence, draw nigh.
SO heaven, when friends have thither gone
Draws nearer from the sky.
And as those lands the dearer grow
When friends are long away,
So heaven ITSELF through loved ones there.
Grows dearer day by day.

With the pu spirits sight,
But near, and in the very hearts

THE measure granting the right to
vote to certain women named in the body
of the bill seems likely to become law
If the legislature can confer upon women
the right to vote at municipal elections
it is difficult to see why it cannot allow
them to vote at state elections. The con-
stitution mentions only white male citi-
zens, but it contains nothing prohibitive
regarding woman suffrage. The theory
of our government being that all powers
not delegated are reserved to the people,
it would seem that they would have the
right to confer the ballot wherever they
see fit
