shell was the most primitive and COM
mon form of this prehistoric trumpet,
which, in it's evolution, has produced
this present bugle. Its earliest re-
corded prototye was the long-stemmed
dare-mouthed instrument popularly at
tributed to Gabriel and angel orches-
tras, and by successive gradations it's
pedigree can be easily traced down to
the shining, metallic and beautifully
finished cornet of to-day. But as it is
the desire of the writer to make the
military use of this instrument more
familiar to the many who know of it
only in general way, it is with that
end in view that he selects the bugle
or trumpet as his theme.
The words trumpet" and "bugIe'

FOLLIES IN MEMS DRESS.
Male Attire Fails in Even Distribution
of Protective Warmth,

+
of Protective Warmth.
That dress reform for men from a
practical and hygienic point of view is
badly needed there is no doubt What
can be more ridiculous than cutting
the front of the vest and coat away
and thus expose chest, lungs, throat,
ETC., to the inclemency of the weather,
giving rise to serious illness? What
sense is there in constructing the back
Of vest with mere, thin lining? Do
tailors imagine that the spine requires
less protection than any other part Of
the body. What practical use is there
in wearing collars high enough to out
shade the old-fashioned ''father-mur-
ders," collars that prevent the free
movement of head and neck, and tight
enough to seriously interfere with the
proper function of several organs?
1t is ignorance. pure and simple, and
it is one of the physician's duties to
enlighten the public on the necessity of
considering their health before fash
ion, ignorance, and folly. Wherein the
male attire fails Is the even distribu-
tion Of protective warmth. One part
Of the body should be as warm as the
other. But not enough that the pres
ent style of dress makes this an i'm
possibility, to fatter mans vanity (pre-
sumably), tailors have acquired a hab-
it of padding the coats ito improve the
figure" and thereby introduce another
element of unequal distribution of pro-
lection.
As q proof Of how little men care
about this Improvement" it may
safely be stated that nine men out of
ten do not know where their coats are
padded, or that they are padded at all.

At our military posts the frequently

Eggs as q Food.

Would it not be wise to substitute
more eggs for meat in our daily diet
About one-third Of an egg is solid
nutriment. This is more than can be
said of meat. There are no bones, NO
tough pieces that have to be laid aside
A good egg is made up of 10 parts
shell, 60 parts white and 80 parts
yolk.
The white of an egg contains &c per
cent water and the yolk 80 per cent.
Practically an egg is animal food, and
yet there is none Of the disagreeable
work of the butcher necessary to OBJ
tain it. ~Vegetarians use eggs freely,
and many of these men are 80 and
80 years old and have been remark
ably free from sickness.
Eggs are best when cooked four
minutes. This takes away the animal
taste which is offensive to some, but
does not harden the white and yolk
so as to make them difficult of diges-
ton. Such eggs should be eaten with
bread and masticated very finely.
An egg spread on toast is fit for q
king-if kings deserve better food
than anybody else. Fried eggs are
much less wholesome than boiled ones.
An egg dropped into hot water is not
only a clean and wholesome, but a de-
licious morsel. Most people spoil the
taste of their eggs by adding pepper
and salt. A little sweet butter is the
best dressing. Eggs contain much
PHOSPHORUS, which is supposed to be
beneficial to those who use their
