1t was at an informal session. afteI
one of the regular meetings of a rellg
lous convention, that the New Hamp
shire minister told some of his bes
stories There is one man IA oui
church." he said, "who is as good as
gold, but so long winded that he tires
everybody out.
AT one time It was suggested by one
OF the deacons that In order to avoid
the extreme length of this good mans
remarks at prayer meeting, we might
make a five-mlnute limit.
This l inaugurated at the next
meeting, and II was cheering TO us all
to see that when the long-winded man
rose TO speak he held his open watch IN
his left hand.
when the limit was all but reached,
he said: Finding, my dear friends,
that / have only few seconds left in
which to speak, and having much to
say, / will throw the rest Of my re.
marks into the form Of prayer"

was similarly overdressed.' The I'm
mediate meaning of it was that the two
personages mentioned were wearing
the most spledld clothes they could find
In their wardrobes. 1t slgnlfed In the
second place that both Of them were
! officers Of hussars, to whom the dolman
is peculiar. Regarded as a historic
relic, the dolman means even more i'm
portant things In a sense it means
the salvation of Christendom from the
hordes of Islam.
For hussars were invented by Mat
thlas Corvinus, king of Hungary one
OF the great opponents Of the Turk In
his long struggle to break into Europe.
Matthias raised a special force of light
cavalry by enrolling one man out OF
every twenty In the villages of Hun
gary and "hlszar' means In Magyar
twentieth
The world has always looked to Aus
trla and Hungary for example In the
matter of light horse. and hussars have
come to be copied all over Europe
without any thought of the meaning
Of the name. Great Britain, never
quick to innovate changed two light
dragon regiments to hussars only a
hundred years ago and has since added
eleven hussar regiments to these. Along
with the name the distinctive details
of the busby and dolman have been
copied too.
The dolman tells plainly of the Turk
ish war of the fifteenth century. The
troops had borrowed from
their hostile neighbors the Idea of the
"dolama"-the word is Turklsh-a
sleeved robe worn over the other gar
ments, probably for warmth. Whether
It was Turk or Magyar who conceived
The idea of casting 1t loose and going
nto action with it flying picturesquely
IN the breeze we do not know.
The hussar's busby, too, is Hum
yarlan, the bag depending from the
.rown being a rudimentary form of a
ong stuffed bag that hung from the
dagyar's busby to save his head and
leck from sword cuts.-London Daily
