BOOTS AND SPURS.
Quaint Account of Hungarian Cav.
airy In Olden- Days.

Quaint Account of Hungarian Cav
airy In Olden-Days.
A contemporary manuscript account
of the diet Of Ratisbon, held in 1880 by
the Emperor Ferdinand II. on the oc-
casion Of the landing Of Gustavus
Adolphus of Sweden in Germany, men-
tons as a remarkable fact that the
Hungarian cavalry who rode through
the streets to the ceremonial wore their
spurs on their boot soles.
It is difficult to credit that these
spurs were fixed on the fiat Of the boot,
for thus shod the horsemen could nei-
ther walk nor stand, especially when
the large size of the spurs worn at the
period is considered. Probably the
writer intended to indicate that in
stead of being fastened to the heel in
the usual fashion they were made to
project from the fore part of the mill
tary boot, which is portion Of the
SOLE
Frederick Won Raumer, who quotes
this in his "History Of the Sixteenth
and Seventeenth Centuries, illustrated
by Original Documents" passes the
matter over without comment. The
same manuscript adds that the Hunga.
rian horses had their names, tails and
feet painted red.

So Ancient That Their Use Is Mem
toned In the Bible.


toned In the Bible.
The custom of carrying flags or stand
ards in battle dates back at least to
1890 B. C. We find in Numbers ii, 2,
that ''every man of the children OF
Israel shall pitch by his own standard
with the ensign Of his fathers house"
Each standard of the twelve tribes thus
distinguished was supposed to have
been of color to correspond with the
stone in Aaron's breastplate which
bore the name Of that tribe. Under the
generic name banner are included many
species, such as standard, ensign, pen
non, flag, etc These have been used
from earliest times and in all countries
to direct movements of troops.
The earliest Roman standard was
a bundle Of straw fixed to the top Of
a spear. This was succeeded by fig
ures of animals, such as the horse and
the boar which soon gave place to the
eagle, the chief Roman ensign, after
ward assumed by the German and
French emperors. By every warlike
people the banner has been regarded
as an emblem of national honor, in de-
fense 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.

Ancient Drinking Guilds.

1t is gravely said by an authority
that the Dutch guilds, the most ancient
Of workingmen's organizations, had
their origin in the drinking guilds,
which. although they did not, as in the
case of the Greeks and Romans, exalt
drink to the rank of deity, made it a
kind Of civic dignitary. These drink
guilds and drink brethren existed from
the earliest times until the latter part
Of the sixteenth century, when their
excesses led to their suppression. It is
held that men who worked together
drank together and thus formed the
primitive club which developed into the
guild.-Notes and Queries.

Cuban Diarrhoea.

U. S. soldiers who served in Cuba dur
ing the Spanish war know what this dis
ease is, aud that ordinary remedies have
little more effect than so much water.
Cuban Diarrhoea is almost as severe and
dangerous as mild attack of cholera
There is one remedy, however, that can
ALWAYS be depended upon as will be seen
by the following certificate from Mrs.
Minnie Jacobs of Houston. Texas: 81
hereby certify that Chamber1ain's Collie
Cholera and Diarrheea Remedy cured
my husband of severe attack of Cuban

In the very long ago hose were not

they were Of great variety, both Of
