The Cheyron,

did YOU ever notice." inquired an
old veteran, that the sergeants and
%corporals Of the army now wear their
chcvrons with the point up? It's only
been in late years that they've done so.
The marines always did, but the army
for years had the points down. It's
only lately that the chevron has been
understood. The chevron is inherited
from the feudal days and meant a roof,
A man who had rank enough to be q
noncommissloned officer was required
to be II freebooter, a man who owned
h roof over his head. The cheyron
represented n gabled roof. The pri.
Yates owned no home. The increase in
rank for different grades OF noncom-
missioned officers was measured by
additional roofs, the sergeant, for In
stance, having three chevrons against
one for the lance corporal. You'll Hnd
that nearly all of these military devices
have some origin Of historical interest,"

How to Seal Letters.

1t Is often very desirable to know
how to seal n letter so that it cannot
be opened without betraying the fact.
Steam or hot water will open envelopes
closed with mucilage and even IL wafer.
A hot iron or a spirit lamp dissolves
sealing wax, an impression in plaster
having been taken of the seal. by the
combined use of wafer and sealing
wax, however, all attempts to open the
letter otherwise than by force can be
frustrated. All that is necessary is to
close the letter first with n small moist
wafer and to pierce the latter with n
coarse needle Uhc same applies to mu-
cllagc), w%hereupon sealing wax may be
used in the usual manner. This seal
can neither he opened by dry heat nor
by moisturc.-Chicago News.
