THE FIRST TROUSERS.

From St. Nicholas.
 The first pantaIoons or trousers were made in Assyria. In the reign of King As shurizirpal (SSS-s53 B. CD horses were in- troduced In the army as cavalry. There, now, was problem; the cavalryman had to have some sort of a uniform, and it was impossible for him to wear a skirt and ride astride a horse The tailors to his majesty's armies wagged their heads long time over this problem, and finally decided that the only way out of this difficulty was to cut the cavalryman's skirt from hem to waistband in both front and rear. letting each part fall on its respective side of the horse. As can readily be imagined, this split skirt made an exceedingly poor article of clothing. The law of heredlty, however, is full of surprises; thls humble apology for a garment was destined to be the father of the original pantaloons. The mind of the tailor has ever been small one. It is likely that even then, as now, 1t took mine tail ors to make a man." At any rate, it took the tailors of Assyria over a century to solve the problem of the horsemen's cloth ing. Why not said one of these workers with the needle and shears, "sew together the edges of each division of the skirt and thus form a separate skirt for each leg?''- or, in other words he invented a pair of pantaloons.

Hazinu al West Point.

If swallowing Tobasco sauce or standing on ones head in tub of water transforms a boy Into a soldier, then indeed Is West Point a good soldier factory, for 1t is pret- ty well established that the first year of cadets life at West Point is liberally in terpersed with such horse play at the hands of senior classmen.
 The average sentiment of the upper classmen could be trusted, but in such mob it is the brutish and devilish that come to the front and gain the ascendant cy. The result is that the skylarking is carried to extremes, becoming cruel, and resulting in outrages and losses of life. If the fellows that poured Tobasco sauce down the throat of the dead cadet from Pennsylvania were indicted and tried for the offense, as they should be. the horse play would lose its merry side.
 There is little use in investigations, es- pecially of the military sort, or even of a Congressional nature. The latter are in- variably inefficient, and the former are but whitewashing affairs. Let the cadets who hazed the dead cadet be brought to trial in the civil courts. They are subject to Indictment and trial even if they are cadets; and a trial in the civil courts is the only investigation that the case admits of which will be of value in preventing out rages of like nature in the future.
