port the weight of the body. Last
week a case somewhat out of the usual
course was discovered in Waldo county.
The hog was unable to stand and when
killed it was found that both hind legs
were broken,

Since the world began.
Whore is his memory? Let him look back-all

From the first he-savage that painted his face
To the dude OF to-day!
Vanity. Oh! Are the twists and curis.
The intricate patterns in red. black and blue.
The wearisome fortunes of rich tattoo
Just made for girls?
Is 1t only the squaw who files the teeth
And bangles the lip and bores the ear.
And wears bracelet and necklet and anklet as
AS the bones beneath?
Lock at the soldier. the noble. the king,
Egypt or Greece or Rome discloses
On masculine thing!
Look the men OF dark ages!
Heroes. too. in their cloth OF gold,
With jewels as thick as the cloth could hold,
On the knights and pages,
We wear false hair? Our man looks big!
But it's not so long let me beg to state.
Since every gentleman shaved his pate
And wore wig
French heels? Sharp toes? See our feet de-
But there was a dag when the soldier free
Tied the toe OF his shoe to the manly knee
Yes, and even his waist!

Don't speak OF the time when a bran-filled bunch
Made an English gentleman look like Punch
But feel of his shouldn't

Can a meerschaum pipe bowl be colored
by the use of a false bowl. If tobacco has
been used in the original bowl?-B. L. D.
Not if the pipe has been smoked more
than very little. 1t is possible with
meerschaum whose coloring has failed al
together or gone wrong. to have it treated
with oil. and colored permanently TO suit
the owners taste, but the process is
rather expensive and not always satisfac-
tory. The false bowl may be a safeguard
in coloring a brand new pipe.

In France there are the Due d Orleans

Duke of Normandy. In Spain is Don Car

but he seems not to be feared. as he is per-
mitted to live in Italy. The former Grand
Duke of Tuscany also claims the Italian

Coal Conspiracies.
Minneapolis Times.


The conspiracy of a dozen Indiana coal
operators to pool their output and sell
through single agent in Chicago-an
agreement brought to light by the Chicago
grand jury-is not the only agreement in
restraint of trade and for the reduction of
supplies of coal that will be made public
by the various Investigations now in prog
ress; IL is merely typical Counterparts of
the Indiana conspiracy exist in the bitumi-
nous coal mining business of Illinois, In
diana, Ohio and Pennsylvania. With the
methods of the anthracite operators and
railways the public Is reasonably familiar.
Conspirators who force up the price of
coal in times like these guilty of a
darker crime than greed. Not only are
they wringing Legitimate profits from
those who can buy, but they are, with full
knowledge. gaining those profits at the cost
of human life. If there be efficacy in
publicity the Chicago grand jury is perform
ing a valuable public service, but let us
hope that something more than publicity
shall be the result. Conspiracies like the
one clearly shown in the Indiana case
call for punishment most severe.

the United States On the whole, this cap
will be very snowy dressy and much more
practical than the old ten-pound helmet
surmounted by the horsetail. The dress
cap will be the same as full dress without

Shoulder Straps.-The only change In
shoulder straps will be in the infantry. to
correspond with the facings.
Beits.-The belt Is changed from black to
russell leather. black webbing belt is also
authorized.
Sword and Saber.-A dull bronze scabbard
is added for the sword and saber, TO be
used in field service.
Horse Equipments.-AIl horse equipments,
bride. saddle, ETC., will be changed from
black to russet leather.
Uniform of the Enlisted Men.-The uni
form of the enlisted men will conform in
color and material TO that of their officers.
Although the new dress uniforms will be
much more practical than the present, they
will also be more snowy, natty and dressy.
the gold leaves and braid. and insignia Of
arm of service around the collar and sleeves
and on the cap. will be very instructive
well give dash and fine general
tone to the whole uniform. The service
uniforms were adopted especially for their
utality in field service. The practicability
of the khaki has been fairly tested in actual
,, warfare. both in this country and Europe.
The olive drab worn by our officers who
visited Europe last year, and who were
present during the German army maneuv-
ers. was highly enlogized by the European
officers present as being practical, neat and
dressy. The wisdom of its adoption, how
ever, must yet be submitted to the actual
test of warfare.
These many changes in uniform are very
serious things to army officers. 1t will cost
to outfit an officer complete with all the
new uniforms and necessary appendages
| from $500 TO $1,000. all of which he has to
| pay out OF his very modest salary, and it
requires many pinch all along the line
/ to meet these extras.

A Hand-to-Hand Conflict.

A disgraceful scene occurred in
school district No. l in johnson on
the evening of July I'd. Two double
teams came up on the Waterville side
and one through the bridge. The
young man who drove the first team
seemed to bear a heavy grudge
against his brother in one of the
other teams. and not wishing to let
the sun go down upon his wrath he
asked another member of the party
to hold the horses while they settled
the difficulty. After driving to the
top of the hill they unloaded and with
blood curdling oaths they went at
each other. After a half hour of fight
ing, threatening and swearing, they
either came to some understanding
or were too exhausted to keep it up
longer and proceeded to load up and
move on. Only five or six of the num-
Der took part in the actual engage
ment. A dinner pail and cuff button
were picked up on the field of battle,
which the owner can have by calling
at W. W. Story's, Johnson, Vt.
Another chapter might possibly be
added to the above. One of the doc
tors was called to the north part of
the town to attend a young man who
had a bad cash cut in one leg and the
bone of the leg was broken. He was
unable to give any account of how
he came by The injury, being too
beastly drunk to know. 1t is sup
posed he was in the above scrimmage.
