Words Born In the War

It will be interesting to note what
marks the present war will leave or
our manners, customs and language.
A big war has results Of this kind.
The wars with Napoleon gave us "Wel-
lingtons," Butchers" and probably,
the long military cloak. The Russian
war supplied us with a new name for
girls, Alma" broke down the military
monopoly of fringed upper lip, and
made the long familiar sight OF his
polished mahogany obsolete for the
Englishman who reached the stage OF
his dinner when dessert is laid and the
wine goes round. That war made
mustaches common and coasters a
curiosity. The great Franco-Prussian
campaign had comparatively little SO
cial influence on us-probably because
we were not actual belligerents. We
learned to take interest in maneuvers
word which soon superseded the ole
sham fights" AS yet the present wal
has influenced more our language thar
our customs. Trekking, outspanning
veldt, laager are slipping into use
Khaki has become a familiar color
and colonial" uniform familiar il
our streets.

by William Allen. Andrew Hamilton,
then Speaker, prepared the plans ana
was the architect. The building was
occupied for the first time by the AS
sembly in 1875.
Along the sides of the main chamber
were erected low wooden sheds OF OBJ
long shape, intended for the use OIL
Indian populations that often visited
the city in large numbers. These sheds
were pressed into service as store
houses for ammunition, cannon ana
muskets during the Revolution.
There was originally no tower to the
State House, and the appropriation
was not made until 1850 for this desir-
able addition, together with another
"structure Oh the south side, with a
staircase and suitable place for
hanging a bell"
In 1885 Colonel George Morgan pre-
sented the State with 100 elms, which
were planted in the square occupied
bv Independence Hall and other
buildings. This was the beginning Oh
a series Of improvements, and was
followed by the erection of DricE
wall around the Enclosure to protect II
from intrusion. The wall mad cen

proudly, like grand doorway.
When the seat of the Federal Gov

eminent was removed to Philadelphia
the County Court House portion OF
the building was given up to Con-
gress. The Senate occupied the sec
ond floor, back, and the House OF
Representatives the first floor, back.
The Senate of that day was remarka-
BILE for it's great gravity and dignity.
Senators appeared each morning dress
ed in richest material. Washington
and Adams were inaugurated as Pres
ident and Vice President In these
rooms.
The tribunal occupied the back room
on the second floor. The District and
the United States Circuit Court also
occupied this chamber.
Popular demonstrations naturally
sought the State House as an appro-
pirate place for the PRONUNCIATION OF
their views. The City Regiment, 1.O'm
strong. met there in 174S, when trou-
BILE threatened between England aud
France. and elected "Abe" Taylor

Revolutionary Coat Makers.

In the summer of IT'S, when the
preparations for the War of the Revo
luton were in a most unsettled ano
depressing condition, especially the
supplies for the Continental army, the
Provincial Congress made a demand
upon the people for thirteen thousand
warm coats, to be ready for the sol
diers by cold weather. There were
no great contractors. however, to sup
DIV the cloth and make the garments
hut hundreds of hearthstones through
out the country. wool wheels, and
looms were started eagerly to work
and the order was filled by the handi
work of patriotic American women
In the record book of some New Eng
land towns may still be found the
list of the coat makers. In the In
side of each coat was sewed the name
of the town and the maker. Every
soldier volunteering for eight months
service was given one of these home
spun. homemade, all wool coats as
bounty. Il

On hearing the news Ct Lexington

in the famous hall the Constitution Of

A woman's Reason.

A lady who was very much fatigued
with the responsibilities Of her home
and family, yielded to the insistence
Of friend and went away from home
for rest of three days, but at the end
of that time, being still earnestly So
liclted to stay, she telegraphed home:
rs every one well?" Her husband
promptly replied: Eyes. Why?" She
was in a household where late hours
were the rule, so she sat up till mid
night, and then went to a telegraph
station nearby, and sent this truly
feminine message: Because" 1t was
collect" and it reached the gentleman
at two a. m, and acted as a restraint
upon future Geographic witticisms on
his part.-Youths' Companion.

In 1777. previous to the entry of the
British. this bell, since known as Lib
erty Bell, was removed to place OF
safety. The elements had, by IVA,
damaged the steeple and roof of lnde-
pendence Hall, so that the Assembly
ordered the former taken down anu
the latter recovered. The events OF
the Revolution interfered with this
intention until 1881. At that time the
bell was brought back from bethie-
hem. whittier it had been transported,
and put up under the roof and sus-
pended in the belfry by four posts,

poetic fancy of Isaac Norris, was or

dependence, which was read on that
day. was removed to lower story of
the tower and only rung on special oc-
casions.
1t was tOlled in rejoicing at the
news of the passage by the British
Parliament Of the act emancipating
the Roman Catholics in 1928. 1t was
sounded Feb. %, 1882, in celebration
of the centennial of Washington's
birth. 1t was cracked on July 8, 1885,
while tolling in memory Of Chief JUS

much larger in size that the Deii

The Singhalese children are said to
be more beautiful than those of any
other race on the four continents, and
some Of the little girls, even Of the
very lowest caste, are irresistibly
pretty as they run before you in the
streets to beg; they cry out In the
sweetest and most plaintive Of voices,
touching the stomachs to signify hun
