"The word 'cravat,'" said a man who
makes neckwear. ''came into our Ian
guage about 1886. Prior to that year
a feature Of the uniform of the Aus
trian cavalry was wide band of
coarse linen Worn in folds around the
neck under the short hussar Jacket.
This cavalry organization was called
the Cravate. its members being styled
the Cravates. Later. in the seven
teenth century, France recruited reg
iment of cavalry, adopting for it the
uniform of the Austrian regiment in
Croatia, calling it the Royal Cravates.
Later, in England. the word 'crabat'
was applied to neck handkerchief.
After the battle Of Steenkirk, in Elan
ders, in 1862, English officers brought
home the 'steenkirk.' long, flowing
neck scarf edged with fine Flemish
lace, the ends of which were drawn
through a buttonhole of enormous size

An Organ In the Tenth Century,

Wolston speaks Of an organ contain
ing 400 pipes which was erected i'll the
tenth century in England This instru-
ment was blown by thirteen separate
pairs of bellows" 1t also contained Il
large keyboard. There are drawings of
that period extant which represent the
organ as an instrument having but
few pipes, blown by two or three per-
sons and usually performed on by a
monk. The keys, which We're played
upon by hard blows of the fist, were
very clumsy and from four to six inch
es broad.
About the end of the eleventh centu-
ry semitones were introduced into the
keyboard, but to all appearances it's
compass did not extend beyond three
octaves. The Introduction of pedals in
1890 by Bernhardt-giving compass
B fiat to A-was another important
contribution to the instrument. These
were merely small pieces of wood op-

TWO INDIAN BATTLES.
History as 1t Appears From the Red.

skins Point of View.
The Indians side of any controversy
between him and the white man has
never really been presented at all. His
tory has necessarily been written from
the white mans standpoint and large
~ from the reports Of commanding
officers naturally anxious to secure full
credit for their gallantry or to conceal
any weakness.
Take as an illustration the so called
''battle'' of Wounded Knee. A ring was
formed about the Indians. and after
disarming most of them one man re-
sisted, and the troops began firing to-
ward the center, killing nearly all the
Indians and necessarily many of their
own men. The soldiers then followed
up fleeing women and children and
shot them down in cold blood. This is
not called massacre in the official re-
ports. The press of the country did not
call 1t massacre. On the other hand.
General Custer was in pursuit of GER
tain bands Of Sioux. He followed their
trail two days and finally overlook
and surprised them upon the Little
Big Horn. The warriors met him in
force, and he was beaten at his own
game. 1t was brilliant victory for
the Indians, whom Custer had taken
at disadvantage in the midst of their
women and children. This battle goes
down in history as the Cluster massa-
cre." - DR.. Charles A. Eastman in

Rustic Work.

Sooner or later every owner Of a
country home runs up against the idea
of rustic work. Generally it hits him
hard-sometimes too hard. If you real
~ need seats or summer houses in your
woodland nothing can be more appro-
pirate than logs with the bark on. be-
cause they harmonic with the growing
trees. says Country Life In America.
This is the real secret of the popularity
of rustic work, it's fitness. 1t is op-
posed to costlier and more architectural
features which make a strong contrast
with natural surroundings. Occasion
ally, however, you will find man who
has fallen head over heels in love with
rustic work for it's own sake. The con-
seqence is that he fills the lawn in front
Of his house with all sorts of rustic i'm
possibilities which look doubly foolish
because they have no earthly use and
because they are out in sunny spot
in the midst of an environment which
is civilization rather than nature.
