There Is n pretty prevalent belief that

that n hundred years ago 1t was un-

Blottlng paper, as II matter of fact,
was n recognized convenience of the

that year there was issued II book called
"Townsend's PreparatiVe to pleading"

be avoided. rather using fine brown pm
per to prevent Dlotting If time of the

sand takes away the good color Of the
Ink, and, getting into the backs OF
books, makes them break their bind
ing"
The sand that was used for blotting
In the past was, the Chicago antiuuary
says, very clean and white and fine.
and 1t was called silver sand. 1t was
kept In n cruet with Il perforated lid,
like a salt cruet, and thence st was
slfted over the wet writing. An odd
thing about it was that the ink V
seemed TO stain 1t. 1T could be used
over II over and it remained to the

Tho custom Of carrying Tugs or stand
ards In battle dates back at least to
1490 IL. G. We find in Numbers ii, 2,
that every man of the children of

Each standard of the twelve tribes thus
distinguished YRS supposed TO have
been of Il color to correspond will the
stone In Aaron's breastplate which
bore tic name of that tribe. Under the
generic name banner are included many
species. such as standard, ensign, pen

from earliest times and In all countriea

The "uu.iv3t Roman standard was
a bundle of straw fixed TO the top of
a spear. This was succeeded by fig
urcs of ANIMALS, such as tie horse and
tho boar, which con gave place TO the
eagle, tie cGict Roman ensign, after
ward assumed by the German an /
French cmrerors. BY every warlikc
people the banner has been regarded
as an cmblcm OF national honor, in dc
tense of which each soldier Was at all
times ready to die, while banners and
flags taken from the enemy have al
ways been special trophies of victory
to which places of honor in public
buildings have been assigned.

tons as Il remarkable fact that the
Hungarian cavalry who rode through

1t Is difficult to credit that these
spurs were fixed on the flut of the boot,
for thus shod the horsemen could nei-

the large size OF the spurs worn at he

writer intended to indicate that in

project from the fore part of the mill
tary boot, which is a portion Of the
sole.
Frederick o Raumcr, who quotes
this In his History Of tho Sixteenth

Of workingmen's organizations, had
their origin in the drinking guilds,
which, although they did not, as in the

guilds and drink brethren existed from
