Ancient wearing apparel was not cut
to fit, as is our modern clothing. Hay
ing no definite shape of its own, it did
not disguise the wearer's figure, and the
grace and beauty of Greek drapery are
dependent almost entirely on the perfect
proportions of the figure beneath. The
tunic worn by both Greeks and Romans
was little, if at all, fitted to the wearer,
and, when ungirded, hung in folds all
round, while the toga was little more
than a sheet and was worn in all sorts
of ways according to the prevailing fash
ion. The Jews of old seem to have worn
breaches, but the rest of their clothing
seems to have been simply wrapped
round them, for it was difficult for
them to run or even walk fast without
first ''girding up their loins The
clothing of the northern races was prob
ably always more of a fit than that of
the southern, for they used leather,
which does not lend itself to simple
draping, but our ancestors probably wore
an almost shapeless tunic belted at the
waist. Another striking difference is
found in the gradual monopoly by wom-
en- of the ornamental element in dress.
Once masculine dress was by far the
most splendid, and woman, holding an
absolutely subordinate social position,
had to content herself with humber at
tire. As she has won her way to free
dom and equality she has annexed, not
only the beautiful, but the extravagant
elements Of costume and left man to
content himself with condition of COD
orless utility. Cincinnati Enquirer.

Killed the Devil.

A burglar recently met with his de
serts in a dramatic manner. In the
neighborhood of 2 place called Hunts
burg, near Oldenburg, two little boys,
aged respectively 8 and ~, were left by
their mother at home to take care of the
house A man with blackened face and
in black attire suddenly entered and
announced himself to the scared little
mites as his satanic majesty 81 am the
devil Where do you keep your money!"
They instantly pointed toward the
massive trunk where the modest wealth
of the parents was treasured up While,
however, the murky looking impostor
was ransacking the chest, the younger
of the two boys whispered to his broth
er, go and fetch the gun and shoot the
devil dead -
The brother jumped at the idea, fetch
ed the loaded weapon. crept up to the
unsuspecting thief and lodged the whole
charge in his back. He fell back dead.

Military Training-what Is Itg

Some persons are of opinion that it is
not wise to cultivate in the young, by
drilling and marching exercises, mill
tary spirit. When these exercises are in
trodtlced into private schools, it is with
view to improve the bearing of scholars
and to provide healthful exercise. But
certainly in these, as well as in our army
and naval schools, great pains should be
taken to Undue the pupils with desire
to excel in those qualities and character
istics which belong to truly brave SOL
diers. One might imagine, from reading
the accounts of what is called "hazing"
in the schools, that the object was to
produce an army Of brigands who would
insult an unarmed traveller, or kill any
one carrying money. Persons Of refined
feelings find it difficult to believe that
the practice should ever be thought
amusing. Boys either stronger or more
in number than their victims are cow
ardly enough to assail them when they
cannot defend themselves and adopt
some means Of terrifying them or infict-
ing pain. Can such men ever grow up
into gentlemen ready to defend the OPP
pressed, or protect the weak, or refrain
from cruelty to vanquished enemy if
in early life their feelings are SO blunt
ed? 1t is preposterous to say that those in
charge of the schools cannot prevent
these outrages. If they cannot, they are
unfit to train boys Some initiation cere-
monies can be devised which are neither
coarse nor brutal. A good joke, which
should be one to please both parties, is
illustrated by the following anecdote:
A young German prince, walking
with his tutor, noticed that peasant at
work in the fields had left his wooden
shoes under ledge. "Let us put stones
in them, said the boy, "and hide near
to witness his discontinue. "Let us
put some money into each one, F" sug-
gested his tutor, land then conceal our.
selves to witness his surprise and pleas

A First Night as Seen by the Artist c. d.
Gibson.
A London audience is brilliant. Ev-
cry one is in evening dress, and the au-
dience is often more entertaining than
the play. This is especially true ON a
first night. At such times the pit is
watched most anxiously by the manage
ment, as the success of the piece gener-
ally depends ON its verdict. 1t has Of
ten occurred to me, when l have seen
people on stormy night forming a line
on the pavement outside the pit en-
trance, taking it all seriously enough to
stand there for hours before the doors
were opened, that by letting them in
side, the management might improve
their spirits and they in their turn
might be more gentle
And it has also occurred to me when
have seen stout man standing in the
aisle fumbling for a sixpence or a shill-
ing in pockets that probably only con-
tain bank note and a goldpiece that
the management might further improve
the spirits of its audience by doing
away with women ushers, and by sell
ing the programme at the same time
it sells the seat, for it is hardly fair
to the first act of play to make it over
come the fretfulness caused by annoying
attendants before it can hope to amuse.
But the second act is sure tohave fair
start, and if the play is coed hcm there
on it will have no reason to. complain
of the audience. &C. ID. Gibson in Scrih-

THE MENDIcANTs.

We are as mendicants who wait
Alsng the roadside in the sun.
Tsttsrs OF yesterday and shreds
OF morrow clothe us every one.
And some are dotards, who believe
And glory in the days of old
While some are dreamers, harping stiIl
Upon an unknown age Of gold.
Hopeless or witlessi Not one heeds
AS lavish time comes down the way
And losses in the suppliant hat
One great new minted gold today.
But there be others, happier far,
The vagabondish sons of God,
Who know the players and the flowers
And care not how the world may plod.
They idle in the traffic lands
And loiter through the woods with
spring.
To them the glory of the earth
Is but to hear blackbird sing.
They. too, receive each one his day,
But their wise hearts know many thing,
Beyond the sating of desire,
Above the dignity Of kings.
One, remember, kept his coin,
And laughing Tipped it in the air,
But when two strolling pipe players
Came by he tossed it to the pair.
Spendthrift of joy, his childish heart
Danced to their wild, outlandish bars.
Then supperless he laid him down
That night and slept beneath the stars.

| 1t was just at dawn, that dreamy
hour of INDIGESTION, when the world
seems to mediate between the night and
day. The shades were up, and the first
shafts of the newborn day crept silently
through the windows and melted the
| shadows of the room. The doctor held
the child's little hand, and the girl,
with tear dimmed eyes, watched the lit
tie form whose life was slowly ebbing
away. A bar of sunlight struggled
through the morning mist and shone on
the face of the child, bathing her hair
in golden light and whispering some
message in her ear, for she smiled and
looked to heaven.
The doctor folded the little arms
across her breast and kissed her smiling
lips, while the sister stood staring, but
seeming not to see. DR.. Baker led her
to chair and gave her some stimulant.
This revived her, and she asked for
Mabel.
Mabel has gone away, " he answered.
"God called her home by the first shaft
of sunlight ("
And now am alonep' sobbed the
girl.
Nay, not alone, " replied the doctor
softly, taking her hand Though my
skill could not save Mabel, my heart
may save you from some of the dreari-
ness and loneliness of the future. Let us
bear together this sorrow, and let me
share in all these coming years the joys
and sorrows of your life, that l may try
and comfort you. I"
My dear doctor, the tender care you
took Of Mabel won my heart, and under
that same care my life can know no sor-
row"
The little child was laid away, and
nothing but her memory remained, but
the lamp that was lighted in two breasts
during the midnight watches of the long
sickness burned steadily and bright like
true beacon through the remainder of
two lives. Brooklyn Citizen.

ket, a rattle, . roIlicking shout

A racket, rattle, rolhcking shout
Above and below and around and about.
A whistling, pounding, hammering of nails
The building Of houses, the shaping of sails.
Entreaties for paper, for scissors, for string,
For every unfndable, bothersome thing.
A bang Of the door, and dash up the stairs
In the interest of burdensome business affairs
And an elephant hunt for a bit Of a mouse

But, oh, If the tods were not scattered about
And the house never echoed to racket and rout
If forever the rooms were all tidy and neat,
And one need not brush after wee, muddy feet
If no one laughed out when the morning wal

certain Office down south and gave the
postmaster $500, being the amount of
fines he owed the government for viola
ton of postage laws as far as he could
recall them. He was a young man, and
he stated that he had violated the law
while in love with girl to whom he
sent papers and books occasionally, and,
though he wrote to her every day, he
couldn't let the others go without writ
ing something on them. The postmaster
didn't know how to act in the premises,
and just what he would have done final
ly nobody knows, but the next day the
young mans father came to the post

MARCH HAS It's WoLETs.
And There Is Bright and Cheerful Side
to Everything.

And There Is a Bright and Cheerful Side
to Everything.
Edward W. Box, under the title of
1.-THE Odor Of Spring Violets, writes
most forcibly IN The Ladies' Home
bright side to everything-even to
March, the most disagreeable month of
the year, for it has its spring violets.
''It is true he writes, that it is diff
cult sometimes to see the bright side Of
sorrow, sickness and death. And yet
there is distinctly bright side. No sor-
row comes to us without a reason. We
never know our friends until sorrow or
illness comes to us. We never know
what loving kindness and thoughtful
ness mean until we stand in need of
them, and our hearts seem to beat
against the walls of a cold, merciless
world. We learn something from every
grief and from each pain which comes
to us. We learn to distinguish between
friends, and what more priceless posses
sion is there in the whole range Of
knowledge than this? What develops us
more than trouble? Virtues of heart,
which we never dreamed of as existing
within us, reveal themselves when we
are sorely tried. That is why sorrow
and trials are given us-not to give
pain, but to develop us, to better equip
us for something unknown which lies in
the future, and which we could not
meet or understand unless we had first
gone through certain experiences.
''We are far too apt to regard actual
blessings as calamities, to look upon
the dark side Of things. Some sorrow
comes to us, and we rebel. 1t never oc-
ours to us that perhaps we need the ex-
perience which sorrow alone can give.
Illness comes, and we fret. But we can
not always be well. Ailments are very
often given to us to make our apprecia-
ton of good health the keener. God has
an aim, direct purpose, in everything
he does. His blessings come in different
FORMS Nor are these forms always such
as we would choose. Lessons can be
more effectively taught in innumerable
cases through sorrow than through pleas
ure. We should never know what
pure, beautiful color white is if we did
not have black to bring out the contrast.
We want only pleasure in our lives.
When sorrow comes, we rebel and re-
fuse to recognize it for what it so often
is-a blessing in disguise. We cannot
always have it June There must be
March. Yet March has its spring VIC
