Pilina Up a Needless Surplus

There is deducted from the pay OF
every soldier in the regular army 121s
cents every month for the mainten'
ance of the Soldiers Home in Wash
ington. Very few soldiers stay in the
army till they are eligible for the
home. and there is a growing convic'
ton that the tax is an imposition. be-
sides being a great deal of trouble to
the paymasters, and being quite super
fiuous, as the institution has already
accumulated a fund of $4,000,O00
which is drawing $12o,000 of interest,
and the remission of this tax is now
strongly urged. One reason, not men
toned. for abolishing the tax is that
much of the money is used for keeping
up the grounds of the home as a pub
lie park for the benefit of Washington

BLOUSE AND LINING NEWS.


A garment which has come into ex-
istence with the very thin blouses is
a shield corset cover. Il this gar
ment the dress shield is buttoned in
side the armhole. which has an OK
tension the size and shape of the
shield. The extension is trimmed to
match the rest of the corset cover.
Quite a marked amount of elabor-
alton is apparent on the latest things
in blouses. One continues to refer to
them as blouses, from force Of habit,
perhaps, for there is hardly particle
of blousiness left in the later de-
signs. In fact, the latest separate
bodice to give it its correct title is
expected to be of the fitted lining and
loose-top variety.
Taffeta silk separate waists have
come into favor again and are more
or less elaborate. This chiffon taffeta
is soft and pliable, and wears far
better than the taffeta of few years
go. Narrow lace and valvet ribbon
trimmings are the most fashionable
of any, with tucks and plaitings

THE FATHER OF THE FLOCK.

THE FATHER OF THE FLOCK.
One of the old poets of the Roman
era, himself notable shepherd who
numbered his sheep by the thousands
and whose most popular work-a mag
nificent poem-all relates to the work
and business of the farmer, the shep
herd and the herdsman, and In all OF
this writing of his own practical
knowledge, describes the ram as the
father of the flock. In his flowing
verses he tells us of today all that is
worth the knowing in regard to the
business of the farmer, the herdsman
1t is interesting to know that the
flocks of that time were the MerinoS
the very same as those whose fine
fleeces were spun and woven by the
ancient ladies for their garments, as
well as the robes of their husbands
and fathers and sons. What we OF
today know of sheep is mere repe
tition of those descriptive verses
which tell us now Of the ways and
manners of the shepherds of twenty
centuries past. And we may learn
much by the pleasant reading of the
sweet verses of this Roman Poet anc
extensive shepherd of that old, ole
time. It is interesting to think ovei
and study this example of as we may
say-the fitness of things in regard to
the Merino varieties OF sheep, as to
how distinctly they have retained all
their special natural peculiarities dur
ing the centuries since the ancient
Israelites spun and wove their finest
fieeces of these sheep into the ma
pie at the beginning of their national
history
This survival of the Merino breeds.
all varying from each other in only
unimportant points, is one OF the
most interesting examples in natural
history Of this adaptation of animals
(plants as well) to their special uses
and conditions of life; for it Is a
matter of history how the Roman peo'
Pile when they conquered Spain, and
made it part of their empire, adopt
ed the habits of those people, raised
from their old barbarism to com,
paratively high degree of civilization
and luxury and with these habits the
means of sustaining them and even
improving them. Thus the ancient
sheep became the possession of the
conquerors, and the Roman people
made the Merino sheep their special
object Of care and improvement. And
thus we have this most ancient OF
all sheep still in it's prime, and the
cherished object of their breeders

The Orangeburg Collegiate Institute
defeated the baseball team of the Car
lisle Fitting School on the home grounds
Monday afternoon. The score was 9 to7.
A large crowd of rooters came over with
the Orangeburg team and large number
of local enthusiasts were present to cheer
the Fitting School boys. There was at
some stages little ginger and vim in the
game, but for the most part it was char
acterized by not altogether brilliant play
ing on either side. However, it was not
an easy thing for either side, and not
until the last man had had his out, did
the hopes ofthe home team cease. Brickle
was wild at times and allowed number
of men bases on complimentary tickets,
and the Orangeburg boys did not seem
to have; any scruples about riding on
free passes. Ulmer, who pitched the
latter part of the game for the Fighters,
did we'll. Moore at third played good
ball. For the o. G. 1, Herbert Glaze,
who has not been playing ball so very long
when you reckon by century, played
good ball; Brunson and the third base
man played we'll also. 1t is little matter,
but when school team plays, it should
be composed of players from the school
and not of outsiders. We understand
that only two of the players on the o. G. /.
team were really students in the school.
