THE WEARING OF "DETAILS.
Fashion Among Europeans That Dat
ed From the Reign of Louis XIV.

The recent statement that the grand
council of China is in favor of the
abandonment of the pig-tail by all sol
diers and students is significant john
Chinaman without a tail to be pulled is
likely to be in course of time more
bUsinesslike and formidable opponent
than I'm the past, though he has never
been despicable-
But antiquated and absurd as the
wearing of the pigtail now seems, its
disappearance from England dates only
from a time well within the memory of
many men still living 1t is true that
public opinion brought the pigtail into
general diSfaVOT in the early years of
the nineteenth century, but a contrib
utor to Notes and Queries for 1858
records that he saw the other day deS-
cending from a small chariot in Cheap
side a venerable old gentleman with a
small screw of his gray locks tied be-
hind with a short riband." AS this was
less than fifty years ago it viii be seen
that we have less reason for contrast
ing ourselves faVorably i'm this respect
With the Chinese than many people re-
member or suspect.
In Europe the fashion CIV tying the
natural hair in a queue seems to date
from the reign of the Grand Mon
argue" when the officers of the French
army tied their hair in summer. but
wore it loose i'm winter and indoors.
Thence the custom spread to Austria
and flouTished exceedingly. Indeed. so
eXtrayagant did the fashion become
that in the eighteenth century some UNI
fortunate Prussian troops wore the
queue down 10 their heels, while Fred
erick IL appeared on horseback with
pigtaiI reaching the crupper of his
saddle.
The French revolution brought about
the disappearance of this, of many
other absurdities for the soldiers of the
republic had no time or money TO spare
for such BARRIERS work, having sterneF
business on hand. which demanded all
their energies. In the British army the
pigtail was abolished during or just
after the Napoleonic wars. the Royal
Welsh Fusiliers, as the flash stili
worn by officers suggests. being the last
regiment TO discontinue the fashion
In the navy the pigtai was worn un-
til 1925. The fashion is still recalled by
the name Of the famous twist tobacco.
Hood in one Of his punning ballads,
uses the word in a double sense:
His. head was turned. and so he
chewed his pigtail till he died.
Lovers of Marryatt. too. will remem-
Der his whimsical description of the old
salt whose magnificent pigtail, the pride
OF his life. was cut off by his amiab BILE

The custom of wearing the pigtail
may be comparatively modern in Eu-
rope but its origin goes back TO the
dawn of history. Pigtailed Eittites
WERE among the opponents of Rameses

account of the reason for the grotesque

proved.

The Cossacks.

While the Cossacks are Russians in
a certain way, yet they form differ
ent class. and are, in reality, a differ
ent people Their sentiments are not
the same. there is no feeling of friend
ship or kinship with the Russians. and
that fact makes them ready tools for
the use OF the government They are
a Semi-milit8ry race, holding their
land and possessing stated privileges
under military tenure-eYery man hay
ing TO be a hOrseman. The COssaCks
are pre-emlnently of a lower type than
the ordinary Russian and are more ig-
norant Consequently, when the gov
eminent desires to crush a riot or end
a strike the CoSsacks are always en-
plOyed. They use a whip of knOtted
leather called a ma gaika." 1t lays
open the flesh with a lash or cuts out
an eye; and, if il strikes certain parts
of the head, il kills. These were the
men and these were the weapons used
to quell riot of young men and wo-
men students in st. Petersburg. There
are $4,000 Cossacks in Russia. They all
stand as instruments OF cruelty at the
beck and call of the imperial govern
ment. Many are now fighting i'm the
war with Japan, but they are found OF
little use, as they are so uneducated.
The japanese are trained with maps
and field-glasses. while the Cossaclxs
know nothing. The Russians hate the
Cossacks; but for the ordinary troops
they entertain a different feeling, be
cause they are composed of men of
their own blood and have the same
ideals. The government would not
dare to order the latter out to put down
an instruction, for the reason that
they would not fire on their brothers.

that it must never give in to a for
