Tho Swiss Bands.

The Swiss bands marched to the music
Of fife and drum or Of their own voices,
the notation of one of their marching
songs being still preserved. The forest
cantons also sent horn with their COM
panies which instruments were known
by nicknames, Bull of Uri, Cow Of Inter
walden, and the like. Their sound was
long a note of terror to the men Of Aus
tria and Burgundy, and made a grand
rallying cry for the Swiss in action. But
apart from this, these horns appear to be
the origin of the bugle horns which still
appear on the appointments Of our light
infantry, and have displaced the drum as
the distinctive instrument Of the foot SOL
dier. Eaoh company Of course had flag
of Its own, which on march or in action
was posted in the center under guard of
halberds. Whence the main body some
times was called by the name Of the pan
ner (banner) The Swiss were distin-
guished by the small size Of their flags;
the landsknechts, on the contrary, to &C.
centuate the difference between themselves
and their hated rivals, carried enormous
ensigns, and made great play with them.
Other nations chose happy mean between
the two.
Uniform was of course a thing virtually
unknown in the fourteenth and fifteenth
centuries, though the Swiss, II we are to
trust old woodcuts, wore the white cross
on a red ground even at Sempach.-Mac-
millan's Magazine.

another also. All who came under its genial

You say that they are beneath US. That is

them to the loot of the Cross, are we not do

in Barnwell, Colleton and
Aiken, where such barbarous cruelties have
been lately prscticed upon defenceless ne

heathen Chinese TO shame.

ROMANS LIKE SECRECY.
Do Not Want Strangers to See Their
Household Arrangements.

1t seems to be part Of the real SIM
plioity Of the Italian Latin to put on
quite useless look Of mystery on all occa-
sions, and to assume the air Of q conspir-
ator when buying cabbage, and more
than one great foreign writer has fallen
into the error of believing the italian
character to be profoundly complicated.
One is apt to forget that 1t needs much
deeper duplicity to maintain an appear
ance of frankness under trying circum-
stances than to make q mystery Of ones
marketing and profound secret Of ones
cookery. There are few things which the
DOOR italian more dislikes than to be
watched when he is buying and preparing
his food, though he will ask any one to
share 1t with him when 1t Is ready, but he
Is almost as prone to hide everything else
that goes on inside his house unless he has
fair warning of a visit and full time to
prepare himself for 1t.
This is perhaps not entirely race peoul.
iarity, but rather q survival of medieval
life as it was all over Europe. There are
pretty clear indications in our own litera-
ture that the ladies and gentlemen OF two
or three hundred years ago did not like to
be caught unprepared by inquisitive visit
ors. The silks and satins In which they
are portrayed would not have lasted q life
time, as they did, If they had been worn
every day. AS for the cleanliness of those
times, the less said about 1t the better.
In Rome there was long period during
which not single aqueduot was In work

A HERO In KNICKERBOCKERs.-
little boys heroism was tested not long
ago through a mistake. A gentleman
in a country town proposed to drive
with his wife to the beautiful cemetery
beside the river beyond the town.
Calling his son, bright boy some 4
years old, he told him to get ready tc
accompany them. The child's face
fell, and the father said
"Don't you want to 60, Nillie?"
The little lip quivered; but the child
answered:
"Yes, papa, if you wish"
The child was strangely silent dur
ing the drive, and when the carriage
drove under the wide archway, he
clung to his mothers side, and looksd
up in to her face with pathetic wistful.
ness.
The party alighted, and walked
among the graves and along the tree
shadowed avenues, looking at the
inscriptions on the last resting places
of the dwellers in the beautiful city OF
the dead.
After an hour so spent they returned
to the carriage, and the father lifted in
his little son.
The child looked surprised, drew a
breath of relief, and asked:
"Why, am l going back with you ?''
"Of course you are. Why not p;
"I thought that when they took
little boys to the cemetery they left
them there" said the child.
Many a man does not show the
hel oism in the face of death that the
child evinced in what to him had
evidently been a summons to leave
world.

MARY ANDERSoN's WARDROBE.
When She Had but One Stage Costume
For Five Five Act Plays.

For Five Five ACT Rays
Three months elapsed between Mary
Anderson's first appearance on the stage
and her second performance, "a heart
breaking interval" writes Mrs. De Ma
varro in The Ladies' Home Journal. Man.
ager Macauley of Louisville then offered
her his theater again for week, and she
presented the chief roles in five plays
"Fazio," "The Hunchbaok," "Evsdne, "
"The Lady Of Lyons" and "Romeo and
Juliet" OF her first weeks engagement
she writes: "At the end Of the week was
in debt to the manager for the sum of 81,
the house having been large enough only
to cover the running expenses. All had
gained by q week Of hard work was sad
heart and very sore throat. Besides,
creditors became unpleasantly importu-
nate, for my scanty wardrobe was not yet
paid for. This consisted Of white satin
dress, simply made, which did service for
all the parts. 1t sparkled in silver trim
ming for Juliet, was covered with pink
roses for Julia, became gay In green and
gold for Evadne and cloudy with white
lace for Pauline. The unfortunate gown
owed its many changes to the nimble and
willing fingers Of my mother, who spent
much time each day In Its metamorphoses.
"a train of velveteen, white muslin
dress and a modern black silk gown,
which, like Mrs. Toodles, we thought
would be so useful, but which had to be
discarded after its first appearance, COM
pleted my wardrobe-surely meager one
for five plays of five acts each, requiring
at least 10 gowns. We had built up
financial as we'll as artistic hopes for that
week and were disappointed in both. But
it proved more successful than was at first
thought, for shortly after, Ben De Bar,
one Of the greatest Falstaffs Of his time,
engaged me for six nights at his St. Louis
theater. At the end of that time found
myself in his debt for the sum of $500, but
the houses had steadily improved, and the
press was filed with long articles enthu-
siastic about the present and full OF pre-
dictions about the future"
