Of conventionalism, and Of a stout
purpose which will not be beaten
down from his high resolve, can in
this age steadily live a harmless life.
1t is no easy life.
Good can not be set over against
evil as credit against debit until SO
much good cancels SO much evil. The
delusion of the age is that philan-
thropy in giving can make up for
misanthropy in getting.

honorless he go through life he will

THE
Garnet Worn by Hussars That Had
Its Qriuin In Early Turkish Wars.

Garnet Worn by Hussars That Had
It's Origin in Early Turkish Wars.
what is the meaning" asks a cor
respondent, 'of the garment called, I
believe, a dolman-a sleeved tunic
hung from the left shoulder-worn by
the king of Spain at the Bourbon we'd
ding? The bridegroom, too, I notice,
was similarly dressed" The immedi-
ate meaning of it raj that the two
personages mentioned were wearing
the most splendid clothes they could
find In their wardrobes. II signified
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 important things. In a sense 1t
means the salvation of Christendom
from the hordes of Islam, says the
London Daily Mail.
For hussars were invented by
Matthias Corvinus, king OF Hungary,
one of the great opponents OF the Turk
In his long struggle to break into Eu-
rope. Matthias raised a special force
Of light cavalry by enrolling one man
out of every twenty In the villages of
Hungary, and "huszar' means in Mag
var twentieth"
The world has always looked to
Austria and Hungary for example In
the matter of light horse, and hussars
have come to be copied all over Eu-
rope without any thought Of the mean
ing of the ame Great Britain, new
er quick to i%nnovate, 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
dolmsn have been copied too.
The dolman tells plainly Of the
Turkish wars of the fifteenth century.
The Hungarian troops had borrowed
from their hostile neighbors the idea
Of the "dolma'--the word In Turkish
"a sleeved robe worn over the other
garments, probably for warmth.
Whether 1t was Turk or Magyar who
conceived the idea of casting 1t loose
and going into action with 1t flying
pictureskuely on the breeze we do not
know.
The hussar's busby, too. is Hungari-
an, the bag depending from the crown
being a rudimentory form of a long
stuffed bag that hung from the Mag
yar's busby to save his head and neck
from sword cuts.

BIRDS THAT CROSS OCEAN
SOME or THEM ARE euppoeED
70 COVER DISTANCE IN -FOUR
TEEN HouR&

Northern Blue Throat Can Travel goa
Miles an Hour, While the Virginia
PIover Can Go at the Rate Of 245
Miles an Hour.
The discovery OF many American
birds in England has put scientists
over there figuring how these birds o.
passage get across the 1000 miles OF
water. Says one OF these writer's In
the London Globe: Can we suppos /.
a bird is capable OF sustaining flight
for a sufficiently long period to accom-
plish this?
"On the s~upposition that the yellow
shank can fly at the rate Of $50 miles
an hour, 1t would accomplish the diz-
lance In fourteen hours. And then.
this bird. being a wader. would be abe
to rest Tor some time ON the water"
Katke's observations on the flight of
birds give the following figures as I,
the speed Of flight: 1875 miles an hour
for the hooded crow, 20S miles an hour
for the Northern blue throat and 245
for the Virginia plover. At the last
rate the Atlantic could BE- crossed In
about eight and three-QuArters hours.
Some SIX other American birds, In
Guiding the red-crested snipe. are re-
corded from the Sicily islands.
Other American birds, including the
yellow-billed cuckoo, have been found
In ireland. There Is also hight In the
return direction, as a British Associa-
ton report reads: "At Rathlin
O'Brine West Donegal) an immense
flock OF birds-starlings, thrushes and
heldfares-passed west from Deem
Der Is to 20. The nearest land to tho
west of this rock Is America. This Is
not an isolated occurrence. The west
erly fight of birds has been noticed
at other stations on the west coast OF
Ireland"
