Our Soldiers Toys.

Ever since the Spanish was some
body has been pegging away at the
uniforms of Uncle Sans soldiers,
and now an English tailor has been
called in to establish a model uni
form. General Chaffee, that rough
and ready campaigner, who has
worn everything in the way of a
uniform from the togs furnished
by the quarter master to enlist men
up to the full dress of lieutenant
general, began to lecture the ranks
about shaping up in the matter of
dress while he was in command in
China. Our men did come out of
the Spanish war apparently revel-
ing in a go-as-you-please way of
wearing their things. The fellows
were always picturesque. though,
when the beholder had in mind the
transports, Ell Caney and San Juan
hill, but to think of them as soldiers
merely, to be associated with parade
and reviews, put the matter in an
ather light.
Somehow it is getting to be the
fashion in certain quarters to think
Of the soldier as an ideal army man
instead of the man with the musket
and saber who does things, whenlthe
question of soldiery appearance
come up. We rejoice in pictures of
the old Continentals, who often
hadn't whole shirt to wear and
seldom boosted of a jacket at all.
Sherman's men, marching home
from the sea, are often referred to
as the ideal for soldiers who have
been whacking at the enemy and
battle pieces showing the tough look
ing Confederates who never had two
garments of the same color stir up
feelings akin to those of the good
old "secesh" dame welcoming Ston-
wall Jackson's crops into Maryland
with the words, God bless your
dirty. ragged, hungry souls" 1t is
the soldier stuff that men of war
have in them and not what their
shuck looks like that is the import
ant thing.
The american soldiers uniform has
never been chosen for looks but for
service in actual campaigning. The
snowy zouave dress, which captured
the imagination early in the civil
war was soon discarded for various
reasons, chiefly because something
simpler was better for campaigning.
Khaki was an old experiment until
it came back from Cuba tattered
and battered from collision with
Spanish blockhouse. An army for
show, for the amusement of the pop
ulace who go as wild over mock sol
diers as over real ones, for furnish
ing beaus for fitting maidens, is an
institution foregoing to American
ideas. Since the natty British red
coats got licked by American farm
ers, hunters in shirt sleeves and
homespun the man we look to for
execution must be above salary to
dress and really be an eyesore to
headquarters tailors. Napolean

Aunt Mary had a parrot that was
very quick at learning things, and be-

they heard him croaking, "Oh, dearl

about the kitchen floor, and what did
he do but hop into the closet, as the

Mother and Aunt Mary both laughed
till they cried. And Molly was so
ashamed of herself that she was COM

ever he saw the closet door open, he

Physicians and scientists agree that

that Hyonei is recommended by lead

When this treatment is used in ca
