A Blow Mt the Kilt.

1t will, perhaps, surprise enthusi-
astic advocates for the retention of
the kilt in Highland regiments to learn
that the kilt, as at present worn, is
only modern fancy costume, and is
not of Scottish origin at all. The
honor of its invention is due to two
Englishmen-an army tailor who ac-
companied Gen. Wade's forces to Scot
land in 1919, and Thomas Rawlinson.
overseer of some iron works in Glen
garry country. For more than cen
fury previously, indeed, the tartan
plaid had been the common garb of
the Highlanders, but it was all in one
piece, wound in folds around the body,
leaving the knees bare. Prior to the
adoption of'the tartan, which probably
took place about the close of the fif-
teenth century, the long, loose saffron
co1ored skirt, the real ''garb of old
Gaul, was the Highland dress.-Lon-

The old negro drew himself up with
unconscious dignity.
'sYo' goin' talk like dat, amt got

man, hastily, "please go on"

A boy came through the car with a

he said, gratefully. ''I didn't hab no
breakfas', an moneys too scace to buy
t'ngs on de road. war 'lowin' ter fill
up arter don reach Georgy.'
A few minutes later there was a
slight ripple through the car. The
conductor had entered and was calling
for tickets.
The young man produced his and
held it in readiness. The negro
fumbled anxiously through several
pockets, and finally remembered that
he had pinned his to his hat lining.

In the seat behind them was shah

anxious, frightened expression.
Crowded on the seat beside her were
several bundles, and in her arms was
white-faced, bigeyed baby. When
the conductor touched her shoulder
she started uneasily.

A red flush of shame spread over the
woman's face; then it disappeared,
leaving her white and logged.

by the arm.

Machinery and wages.

The effect of machinery on wages is
well exemplifed by the following fig
ures: At one time in the United States
a roller in rail mill, rolling iron or
steel rails, received about Is cents per
ton, turning out from rs to 100 tons
per turn. To-day in some of the mod
ern steel-rail mills, less than one cent
per ton is paid for doing the same
work, and yet by the end of the year
the roller in the rail mill can make as
much money as he did under the old
method of working. At one time As
cents per ton was paid for heating iron
for making iron rails. To-day,
through the use of the improved meth
DDS, very little more than one-half cent
per ton is paid for doing the same
work, and yet the wages received are
better than they were at that earlier
time.

Paying Delinquent Taxes.

If, during the next four years,
taxes, both delinquent and current,
are paid up as rapidly as they have
been during the past four years, Kan
sas will have large balance in the
treasury. Frank Grimes, state
treasurer, issued statement show
ing that there is less than sos, 900 in
delinquent taxes due the state, where
four years ago the amount was over
$375,OOO. This large reduction is due
mainly to the law passed by the legis-
lature in 1899. providing that no
money should be paid for the care
of destitute insane to counties which
were in arrearages for taxes, but
that the amount due should be cred
tied upon the county's tax account.
AS a result of the enforcement of
this rule $25o,OOo in delinquent taxes
was collected
