WEARING OF ARMOR.
Troubles Over Shirt Buttons Led
Man to Encase Himself in Metal.

To such a pitch of evaporation did
the practice Of using buttons in the
shirt drive the men of the middle ages
that they adopted the plan of wearing
brass or steel armor, fastened together
with metallic bolts. The popular idea
that men wore armor in order to fight
In 1t is manifestly absurd in the view
of Pearson's since no man could poss-
IDLY have fought when incased in half
a hundred-weight of metal. Armor
was worn solely in order to avoid the
worry OF shirts with missing buttons.
There were distinct advantages con-
nected with the chain-steel shirts.
When one of these garments came home
on Saturday night from the washer
woman the owner could feel reasonably
certain that the metallic clasps at the
neck and in the bosom were all in their
proper places. for no washerwoman
could have succeeded in detaching
them without the use OF a coidchfsei.
If IL did so happen that the washer
woman's husband had been run over
by steam roller while wearing a steel
shirt belonging to one of his wife's GUS
toners. and one of the metallic fasten-
ings had thereby been injured, the GUS
toner in question could not accuse his
wife of negligence. and demand to
know why she failed to keep his shirts
in proper repair.

Gypsy Dancing Girls of Seville.

In the July Century Mr.. Stephen
VILE" Mr.. Bonsal says: On returning
homeward we enter a gypsy garden,
where. in bowers of jasmine and honey
suckle, the Gaditan dancing girls dis
port themselves as they did in the days
OF the poet Martial. Penthelusa is as
graceful and as lissome to-day as when,
in the ages gone, she captured Pompey
with her subtle dance--as when Martial
descanted upon her beauties and graces
in classic words, centuries ago. The
hotel keepers in Seville are generally
very careful to introduce their patrons
only to gardens where the Bowdlerized
editions of the dance are performed
but commend to those who think they
can "sit IL out" the archaic versions
which are danced naturally to-day, as
they were I'm the days of the Caesars,
by light-limbed enchainers OF hearts.
and flamenco girls with brown skins
and cheeks that are soft like the side of
the peach which is turned to the ripen-
ing sun; and I'm their dark, lustrous
eyes you read as plain as print the
story OF the sorrows and the joys OF a
thousand years OF living. Now they
dance about with the grace Of houris,
the abandon OF menads or OF nymphs
before Acteon peeped; and now, when
the dance In over, the moment OF mad
ness past. they cover their feet with
shawls, that you may not see how dain-
ty they are. and withdraw sedately and
sad from the merry circle and sit for
hours under the banana trees. grooming
softly some mournful couplet I'm the
crooked gypsy tongue.

NOT AFRAID TO PRAY.


An old navy officer who had been a
shipmate of Acting Rear Admiral
Sampson many years tells this story of
him. in the Florida Times Union:
II have never doubted SIMPSONS
courage since the first cruise I made
with him. We were wardroom officers
together. The first night aboard ship,
when the hour arrived for piping
down and turning in there were sew
eral officers sitting around the ward
room table indulging in some innocent
merriment. l was taught to say my
prayers before going to bed at night.
but l confess / lacked the courage to
kneel down in the presence OF my ship
mates and pray. II was warm weather
and our stateroom doors opened into
the wardroom.
Then IL was that Sampson displayed
the moral courage that forever after
ward impressed me. He is God fear
ing man. and he always saws his pray
ers before turning in. When he was
ready to turn in he knelt down by his
berth and prayed. A stiffness came
over the wardroom Immediately. and I
concluded thatif Sampson had the cour-
age to say his prayers I'm the presence
OF his shipmates I could do likewise. SO
have never hesitated since to pray
before turning I'm.
"Only those who have sailed the sea
I'm warshlp can appreciate how much
moral courage In required 10 kneel
down I'm the presence of n lot Of roister-
ing shipmates and ask Gods blessing.
Sampson never makes his religious
devetions offensive 20 his shipmates.
but he reserves the right TO be master
OF his own conscience. az he n master
OF the situation at s-''fiago today"

Who were the dead? 1t was days be-

A Discouraged Patriot.

IL seems sometimes as II the fates
were conspiring to discourage patriot
ism. There is. for example. a certain
soldier over at Camp Alger who en-
listed for the express purpose OF she'd
ding Spanish blood. He was n tele-
graph operator here in town, and by
dint of hard work and extra hours he
managed to earn about 500 a week. But
he was honestly a patriot, and he was
brave, so he became a soldier at SIS a
month. Scarcely week had elapsed
before his superior officers discovered
his telegraph ability as n telegraph
operator Since then he has been on
duty In the military telegraph service.
He works. In fact. ever so much harder
than he did here at home. but he re-
ceives only s15 a month. and II isn't
likely that he'll ever have a chance 10
spill any blood at Washington
Post.

Great Ball Playing at
Adelaide Park.
GRAYS WERE DEFEATED.
Could Not Bat When Hits. Were
Needed to Produce Runs.
THE MONTREALs SCORED TWICE.

Yesterdays game between the Grays
and the Montreals at Adelaide Park
was battle royal. 1t was a contest
in which the playing of both teams
was without a flaw, and, though the
home team was beaten. the defeat was
not one for which the team need feel
disheartened. Rudderham was on the
slab for the home team. and he pitched
in splendid style. the Montreals secur-
ing only nine safe hits. while not one Of
the visitors reached first on balls. Nc
Farlan for the visitors was very eff
fective, the Grays securing only six
hits. Shiebeck, who made three OF the
nine hits, opened with a single, gained
second on a sacrifice and scored on a
single by Bannon. The second one was
produced by Buffers single and Shie-
beck's first two-bagger in the fifth inn
ing. The Montreals had a taste of
what 1t is not TO be able to make hits
when needed. They were striving hard
to increase their score, but could not.
Four times they hit the ball out for two
bases, thrice with only one out, but the
men who did that good hitting could
not score, because those who followed
could not send the ball safe for the hits
needed. The two runs they had did not
look very big until the last inning was
terminated with double play that dis
posed OF the last Providence man.
Not Gray back secured a safe hit
until the fifth inning, when Cooney Sc
cured a single, but was thrown out in
trying to steal second base. Leahy i'm
mediately got another hit, and went to
second on a passed ball. but he died
there. as Rudderham was third out on
a foul fly. In the sixth the Grays had
a streak OF hard luck. which not only
seemed like the loss of chance to win
the game. but IL also resulted I'm Henry
Lynch being disabled so that he will
pot be able to play for couple of
weeks. Canavan was on third and
Lynch on first, with one out. Lynch
went down TO second, and a short throw
was made to catch Canavan at the
plate. Canavan was held at third and
the ball was played for Lynch. He
gained the base. but Gruber called him
out, though the ball was put on the
ground instead of the man. In sliding
for the base Lynchs right hand struck
the spikes of the second baseman, and
the back of the hand was torn open
from the knuckles TO the wrist. In the
seventh inning Weigand and Cooney
got hits, and Leahy filed the bases on
called balls. with only one out. McFar-
Ian struck out his rival pitcher and
Jack O'Brien captured grounder from
Canavan. Weigand opened the ninth
with hit, and was advanced by
Cooney, but he was doubled with Leahy
on fly ball, and the game was ended.
The score follows:
