The Khaki Uniform.

The khaki uniform worn by our sol
diers last summer, and which some of the
troops from the Soudan have
made familiar to the Londoner, is, IN point
of color, as nearly that of the desert round
about Wady Halfa as the Polar bear IS
that of his iceberg, or the green lizard
that of the grass This monotony IS re
sponsible for strange effects, one of which
was noted by Lady Butler during a stay
in Egypt and was thus described by her
in letter home. quoted in the Academy:
at was late in the afternoon when | saw
q burial party, clad in the coat OF KHAKI
drab, carrying a dead comrade covered
with the Union Jack, towards the little
cemetery in the desert; and, as they
moved over the plain obliquely away from
me, with their backs to the low sun, moth
ing could be seen of them but the black
shadow Of each soldier as it was projected
upon the back of his front rank man:
One thus saw literally q little troop OF
shadows moving towards the grave, with
the stiff, automatic motion peculiar to
the military funeral step; and, in the
midst of these phantoms, shone out, in
vivid colors, the flag that shrouded the
dead"

The admitted advantage of an outdoor
life in many morbid conditions, and nota-
bly, in consumption, seems to point to the
conclusion that there is something definite
ly injurious in the indoor life which is now
the common mode of existence among civ
ilized people. It is striking and startling
thing that the mere removal of a patient
into the open air should lower his fever,
should remove the night sWeats, and take
away the hectic flush, and it is difficult to
avoid the conclusion that if these synp-
toms are removed by the purity of the
air outside, they must have been largely
caused by the impurity OF the air within
the house Nor have we any right to
assume that it is the consumDtive only
who suffers Doubtless the healthy strug-
gle against and overcome evil influences
before whicn those who are tuberculous
succumb, but that is not to say that in the
struggle we do not suffer, and, indeed.
the facts recently brought forward are
sufficient to show that the stufy warmth
and comfort which civilized man now ''en-
joys" is bad for the health even of the
healthiest. We make our windows fit. we
pad our doors, we SILVER at Il draught,
we surround ourselves with wooden cur
tains, dRsty carpets and fluffy, luXuriant
upholstery, we breathe the same air over
and over again, and then we wonder that
we are not strong and vigorous The
fact is we are daily using up the eXuberant
vitality with which nature has provided us
in struggling against artificial conditions.
How powerful for evil, how deteriOrdting
these conditions are. is shown by the fact
that their mere removal gives back to the
consumptive that vitality which enables
him TO overcome the seeds CT disease with
in him. Fresh air is not a thing to be
taken In little doses once day but a
thing to live On.-LOndOn Hospital.

Was Not Used to airy Lunchroom.

She was woefully out of place in the
dairy lunchroom, says the Detroit Free
Press. The swish of her skirts was too
ariStOcratic and her nose was TOO tilted
for her ever to be served nicely by a
democratic dairy lunch waitress.
She was stranger in town, else she
would not have gone there. Her train
had come in about noon and she was
hungry, so she darted into the first "eat
shop that had a sign hanging out III
front of it.
She saw that she was out of place, her
self. She busted off the chair with her
handkerchief before she sat down and her
nose went up higher wnen she heard a
waitress yell back to the cook: Zone ham
and, cup o wash and two sinkers. One
cup apple, brace o buns"
She picked up the bill of fare that a
waitress with red hair and checked
apron had pushed before her. ''Whattle
il be-" asked the latter-the waitress, not
the apron.
Bring me some corn cakes and maple
syrup, please" replied the woman quietly.
And as the girl walked away to get a
napkin and a knife and fork, she cried
through the kitchen window: 'Corns,
paintedr'
The woman at the table shivered slight
~ and closed her teeth, tight.
She was served and the girl slapped
down a 10-cent check. By and by the
cakes had been made to disappear. The
woman looked around ''Will you give
me finger bowl?' she asked.
The waitress just looked at her. Her
jaw fell. Finally she mustered up her
courage and exclaimed loud enough for
everyone in the room to hear: IF yusc

Girls Study Farming,

Fifty girls have taken up the study Of
scientific farming at the Minneapolis Col
lege of Agriculture, and the result of the
new departure will be watched with inter-
est throughout the country as affecting
the welfare Of the sex. If the innovation
shall prove successful it will naturally
spread to other agricultural states, and its
most important results may turn out TO
be social rather than directly agricultural
in character. Heretofore one great
drawback to farming has been the diff
