FOR LITTLE FOLKS.
Antwerp Schoolboys.


The schoolboys of Antwerp would de-
light you. So far as legs 60, they are
clad us any American boys might be
clad-in knickerbockers or loEg trou-
sers-but around their shoulders they
wear dark blue capes with hoods, and
Oh their heads such jolly capsl
Rubeps, the great painter, lived in
Antwerp. He died there $50 years ago,
but the boys Of Antwerp know us much
about him as you do about Christopher
Columbus or George Washington-m
be more-and they keep his memory
green by the caps they wear. These are
of the same style as those worn by
Rubens, and for that reason they are
much worn by art students generally,
and therefore in towns where Rubens is
not SO we'll knowI%.s he is in Antwerp
they are described as painters caps.
they are much larger i'll circumference
than the Tam O'Shanter, and instead
OF being knitted or crocheted they are
made of dark blue or black cloth and
have n cunning little pigtail on tho top,
not more than an inch III length and
smaller around than lead pencil. The
boys wear these caps in all sorts of
ways-pulled down over the eyes to
keep the gun out. pulled entirely back
from tho forehead, as is the fashion of
Neapolitan fishermen, or worn rakishly
Oh one side or the other and hanging
we'll down on the shoulder.
Not one straw hat or one derby did 1
gee Oh the head of an Antwerp school
boy. The effect of these caps and the
short cape was very picturesque, and
felt as if was looking at so many lit
tie Rubenses when saw them romping
through the streets on their way to and
from school. st. Nicholas.

Lewiston teller. [volume] (Lewiston, North Idaho) 1878-1900, 1895-10-24

A Bridgeport inventor says he has
discovered an explosive which will blow
an invading army into cats meat as
soon as it is dropped among them. He
has gone to Cuba to try 1t upon Gen
eral Campos and his peninsular myr-
midons. and if news from that island
were not so habitually untrustworthy
it would now be awaited with increased
interest. So many destructive agents
of warfare are reported in this period
that If all their claims were realized
war would become impossible, and an
other mode of settling internecine and
international difficulties would have to
be devised. But many of them thun-
der in the index, exploding with more
smoke than carnage. and effecting no
revolutionary change in military meth
DDS. The Bridgeport fulminant may be
in this category. but its pre,ensions re-
main to be tested.
