DISCOVERY OF KHAKI.

The London Daily News. 70 illus
trats the part played by lucky acci-
lent in the discovery of inventions,
told the other day story about
khaki. the olive-colored canvas cloth
worn by the English and American
soldiers in hot countries.
This cotton stuff has been worn in
India by British troops for many
years. Its tint was "A greenish brown,
but it always faded when it was
washed with soap.
A business man from Manchester,
while travelling in India. happened to
fall into conversation with an Eng
lish officer who remarked. carelesslv.
that the first manufacturer who could
produce a cotton drill that would not
fade would make his fortune.
The young Englishman never for
got this hint. He came home. found a
skillful dyer. and with him began the
search for an olive dye which, when
used on cotton cloth, would no. yield
to soap or soda. They spent years in
these experiments, ell Of which proved
fruitless.
One day they found among. several
scraps of dyed cloth one which re-
tanned its color under the most severe
tests. The puzzling fact was that it
had been cut from the same piece of
cloth, and subjected to the same proc
esses - the other scraps. AL Of which

The two sxperimenters wsre great

vain to solve the riddle. The one lit
tie fragment of khaki was the only
one which kept its color against all
attacks.
By chance one day they found that
the dye in which this scrap had been
dipped had remained for q time in .
metal dish Of peculiar kind. Tho
secret was found. The metal of tho
dish, In combination with the chemi-
calls Of the dye, had furnished the ono
thing needful. They tried the expert

and their fortunes were made.
1t was not chance which gave them
their success, but the indomitable pa

EARLY SPRING COSTUMES.

Getting spring wardrobe together,
or rather spring and summer ward
robe, is really quite fascinating piece
or business, provided it Is undertaken
in the middle of winter; the only OBJ
lection being that in the middle of win
ter there are SO many other things to
be done that time is somewhat limited.
But the shops are not so crowded AS
later, and the dressmakers not so rushed
, with work, and one can linger over the
cholce of fabrics and colors without
the Keeling that some one else Is wait
Ing to take ones place This season the
spring and summer fabrics are unusual
ly summertime, as though the terrific
heat of last summer had made people
feel that clothing suited to the tropics
was what would be needed around New
York; and these materials are quite
thin enough to do duty in the tropics.
The colors are dainty, the designs most
varied. It is going to be difficult
matter for the woman who prides her
self upon dressing herself exclusively
according to color scheme to resist the
destinations of the many exquisite col
lorings she will see displayed.
Blacks and whites are the rage-that
Is, white with black figures, or vice YER

bers Of materials for which the name Is

1t is hard work to get news from Rus
STA nowadays, but that which does leak
out indicates very disturbed condition
of affairs there. 1t is evident that
many of the Cars subjects are not
pleased with him, and it is also evident
that he is in danger of losing his we'll
guarded life. How he is hedged is in
dicated by report from st. Petersburg
which says that the police who are in
trusted with the safety of the Gear do
not quite trust all the members of the
imperial household. The mechanism
attached to the doors of His Majesty's
bedroom and study has recently been
altered so that only two or three per-
sons know how to open the doors from
the outside. The study is provided with
five writing tables, which the Car uses
indiscriminately so that nobody will
know exactly in what part of the room
he is sitting. The walls of the study
and bedroom have been lined with steel
plates.

peror in this country it is to be hoped
that he will have more peace and COM
fort than the troubled Car does.

We were told at the chamber of COM

A TEXAS EXPERIMENT,

| What can be done is shown by the
State of Texas, which has isolated its
| consumptive convicts thus keeping in
the front rank of modern ideas regard
| ing the treatment Of this malady Not
only this, but these ailing convicts re-
ceive treatment practically similar to
that followed in sanitaria for con-
sumptives Their diet is of highly
nourishing character, and includes
stimulants. Cleanliness in quarters
and the observance of sanitary precau-
lions are imperative. When able to
leave their beds, the men are required
to be in the open air, and they sleep
in spacious stockade, where each en-
joys as much breathing space as he
would in forest camp. No one is re-
quired to work beyond his strength,
and employment is entirely in market
gardening. Yet this isolated convict
farm has returned to the State in two
years net profit of about $500. Thus
far the results of this mode of living
and treatment have been of the most
gratifying character. Many men who
went to the farm apparently in the last
stages of consumption, and who were
scarcely able to feed themselves, are
now hearty and stout evincing not the
SLIGHTEST evidence of consumption, and
the death rate from this disease is
diminishing. A like segrega-
tom of oonsumptive convicts was order |
ed recently by the Alabama legislature. |

formations will in action alone be per-
missible. Intrenching tools will be
deemed as important as ammunition,
and tool carts will go along with am
munition carts on every march. all sol
diers being trained to devise artificial
cover. Infantry officers will abandon
their Chargers" and ride stout ponies,
or cobs, steady and easy TO mount I'M
der fire. Cartridge boxes, with belts
and straps, will disappear, bandoliers
taking their place. Musketry instruc-
ton will be more real; shooting at fixed
distances will be abolished and judging
of distance will be considered as impor~
tant as accurate shooting. Long-range
firing will be recognized and rifles will
be provided with useful sights for this
purpose. volley firing will be aban-
doned. Verbal commands in vancouver
| ing will give way to signals. During
| the period Of training fatigue duties will
not be exacted. The bayonet will be re-
tanned. Tn defense invisibility will be
prescribed as all important. Infantry
will be taught to ride, but when mount
ed will be detached from disrnounted
units.
AS regards cavalry important changes
charges-are out of date in the pres
ence of long range magazine rifles and
quick firing guns. The beau sabreur
must disappear and the saber and lance
must be relegated to the ancestral hall
along with chain armor. The expires
sion mounted infantry" is red rag to
the cavalry soldier but the latter is rap
idly coming to be that and nothing
more. The troopers duties will be to
scout and move rapidly to any special
point in attack or defense. For this
service they should be small rather than
large men, and should be armed with
rifle, bayonet and field glasses. Gem
eral Roberts thinks the infantry rifle,
with the barrel little shortened, will
suit the mounted soldier admirably.
Jack boots will give way to shoes, SO
that the trooper may serve equally well
dismounted. For the head he will want
a sunproof and waterproof covering, |
comfortable and inconspicuous, but |
nothing snowy.
Artillery has not effected as much in
the South African war as was expected |
of it. 1t will have to be recognized that
cannot silence or demoralize in
fantry who are determined to hold on to
a position. The advantages claimed for
fire discipline and the masslng Of guns
will have to be reconsidered now that
II has been seen that a few scattered
guns, distributed in unknown positions,
can keep in action against many times
their number. To the ordinary light
ield artillery certain number Of heavy
pieces of long range will have to be
added. The idea that cannon may be
pushed forward into the dangerous zone

lily dispelled.

FALSE MAN. FIETHFUE WOMAN N.

4 Men were deceivers ever" A wo-
man In Paterson. New Jersey is con-
WINGED that there is fully as much truth
as poetry In this statement. She fell
in love The man with whom she fell
in love was not exactly fair to see, but
he looked some like real man. At
first, owing to her deep love and her
| modest vet strong desire to be married.
| she was a little blind to his imperfec-
tons. So she became engaged to him,
and then she got her eyes fully open.
She found that the object upon which
she had lavished the wealth of her love
wasn't wholly genuine. 1t was bald
headed, bewigged and wore false teeth.
OF course this wasn't just what she
wanted, and SO she promptly notified
hisn, and wouldn't have him as hern.
And in separating from him she gave
him and all other false men lesson in
loyalty. When she and her false man
were in the depth of love they had put
their money in the bank in one account,
agreeing that their joint savings were
to go to the one who remained faithful.
AS she figured that she had been faith
full up to the time she found he was
false she drew the money from the
bank. She based her claim to the mon
ey especially on the fact that he had
grossly deceived her by wearing an au-
burn wig.
The false man has been justly pun
ished. He will be slow to deceive
another loving and confldin'g woman,
or if he isn't slow about that he will be
slow in putting his money where It can
be taken by his victim. AS for the loyal
woman she is to be congratulated on
having discovered the falseness Of the |
man, and also on having the small con- |
ISOLATION that the possession of the joint
bank account can give.
