Blow at the kits.

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 a modern fancy costume, and
is not of Scotch origin at all.
The honor of it's invention is due to
two Englishmen-an army tailor who
accompanied Gen. Wade's forces to
Scotland in 1919, and Thomas Raw
linson, overseer of some ironworks in
Glengarry's country. For more than
a century previously, indeed, the tar
tan 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 tar
tan, which probably took place about
the close of the fifteenth century, the
long, loose saffron-colored skirt, the
real 'garb of old Gaul." was the High
land dress.

About Pearls.

The value of pearls depend on their
form, size, color, texture and orient.
AS regards form, they are spherical.
pear-shaped, button-shaped, ovate, con-
ical and irregular or baroque. The
perfectly round pearl is generally the
most valuable, other things being
equal. Those over 200 grains in
weight and of fine orient are scarce,
and are usually profitable invest
ments, the price gradually increasing
on account OF the enhanced demand
and the exhaustion of the fisheries.
They are most commonly employed to
form the center of necklaces

A painful silence settled over the
courtroom and then there came tit
ter from someone somewhere in the

ing erect, the Colonel inflated his
broad chest, and fastened his eyes OH

through Lem Bilkins, "you are in

Col. Keever arose stifRy and strobe
to the door. There he halted to
shake his cane at the judge and ex-
claim wrathfully:
You shall answer for this, sir!
Egad, I shall see that you answer
for this!''
He founced out of the room and
the judge laughed and called after
him:

Guy drew back and then -trailed
