British Uniforms.

The recent announcement that considera-
BILE changes were to be made In our off,
GERS uniforms, with view to curtailing all
manner Of unnecessary expenses, was re-
ceived with widespread satisfaction. It will
be noticed that the reform makes our off,
GERS look like Germany's. Indeed, the
whole thing Is got up on the Teutonic
model Plainness and neatness are the
most striking features. all unnecessary de-
tails being dispensed with. Nor need any
complain OF lack Of smartness In the cut
of the working garments As has already
been announced, kahki Is to be discarded In
all ranks OF the army. Drab will be the
color of the new service dress for all ranks;
This means that the new uniforms win be
much the same color as those worn by the
London Scottish Volunteers, who have rea-
son to be proud that the war Office has
found It advisable to copy their celors.

Superstition is not vet dead. few days
ago a lady living in Cornwall received a
letter from wonan' dwelling twenty
miles away in a lonely coast village. in
whose house she had nfrequently spent
some months OF the summer. The letter
was not well writteH bit the woman can
hardly be old enough 10 have escaped COM
pulsory education. altogether. Yet she
wrote to say that there was somebody In
that coast village who had been hl-wish-
ed" and was in consequence likely to die
She had heard that in the town to which
she had addressed her letter there was a
skillful white witch who, for. q considera-
tion. would be willing to provide the SUI
ferer with a charm which would be SOW
ereign cure. She asked the lady to en-
deavor to discover the name and address
Of this benefactor. -, That such a letter
should be written In these civilized days is
not specially surprising, but the Instances
are worth noting, for those who have had
most experience in the study of the super
stitious beliefs of the peasantry know well
that for one which gets written down In
this way there are generally two or three
vastly more interesting which are never
disclosed except in moments OF extreme
emotion and panic. : 8.

walls Of his apartment are Of the same
metal. Since the adoption Of the solid
armor for the sides Of warships q great
deal Of trouble has been experienced In
making habitable the quarters directly
next to the outside covering. The heat OF
the room condensed on the cold metal, and
on the hospital list with bad case of
rheumatism. This Is now guarded against
by the use of q sheathing Of asbestos placed
next to the metal and held in place by q
framework. This Is found to absorb the
moisture in q satisfactory manner. Care
Is also taken to see that the berths are
not built against the outside Of the ves-
sci. but against one Of the side walls, so
that the sleeper will be as far as possible
from the metal that comes in contact with

EARLY AMERICAN BOoKPLATEs.
Where the Men Who Made The m
Lived and Worked.

From the Century Magazine.
One Of the most interesting branches OF
the study Of old book plates opens before
us in the work Of the early American en-
gravers. several OF whom were self-taught
in the art OF engraving on copper.
Foremost among these was Nathaniel
Hurd. born In Boston in 1870. From thirty
to fifty plates by Hurd are known, most of
them being for New Englanders. Hurd
was very fair engraver, but did not dis
play great ability as designer. A more
notable man In the history of the country.
Paul Revere. also engraved book plates.
He. too, was Boston lad born five years
later than Hurd. Brought up to the trade
of the goldsmith, he had no instructor in
engraving on copper. Not over half g.
dozen plates by his hand are known. Jos.
Calender, another Bostonian by birth,
made something over a score of book
Hurd and Revere by having other than
armorial features.
In Connecticut worked Amos Doolittle
whose plates have a decided literary flavor
Many of his plates were for libraries and
college societies. Alexander Anderson, the
first American wood engraver sometimes
called the American Bewick" was born
In New York. At the age Of twelve he
tried, with the blade Of pocket knife, to
engrave on copper pennies rolled thin. In
this way he made his first plate-a head OF
Paul Jones-the first impression being made
with red PAINT. in rude press Of Ander-
sons own contrivance. In 1893 his first
wood block was cut Only few book
plates by Anderson are known. The Ap-
prentice's Library of New York and the
library of Columbia University have plates
by him. These were engraved on copper,
and are signed. He apparently made very
few book plates on wood. John Pintard
the founder Of the New York Historical
Society. had such plate. and it bears An
derson's name.
