WHEN TROUSERS WERE DEcRlED
On Their First Appearance Many Con-
sidered Them I~ndecorous.

It is hard to think back to the days
when men did not wear trousers such
as now encase the limbs Of all the
masculines one meets. Harder still to
believe that these garments were by
many considered immoral on their first
appearance, and that one of the most
numerous Of all religious denomina-
lions for a long while forbade its min
listers appearing In the pulpit clothed
in apparel SO frivolous.
1t is a fact that trousers, introduced
by the duke of Wellington, came in
slowly and were for a long time looked
upon as a light-minded departure
from the serious and conventional in
mems dress.
And now, should any sober-minded
gentleman venture to lay these ubi'
quitous and ugly garments aside, and
prance down the street clad in the
brief knee-breeches and hose Of his
progenitors, he would no doubt incur
the accusation Of being an indecorous
trifler.
So much has custom to do with oul
sartorial morals!

TRAITS OF AFRICAN PYGMIES.
Explorers Tell of PecuIiar.ties of Queer
Race of People.

Pygmies are climbers par excel
lence. The pygmy always gets up a
tree somehow. If there are conven-
lent vines he Uses them, his big toes
serving as thumbs; if there are no
vines and the tree be thin, he grasps
it with his hands and walks up; if the
tree be thick he grips with his legs
and nimbly works his way to the top.
The pygmy is a prayerful little man.
During a thunder storm he may be
heard imploring God to dispense 1t;
but If the storm only continues in VIC
lence he changes his entreaty to beg
protection from violence. Maj. Pow
III -Cotton's gunbearer saw a group of
pygmies in the forest seated in a wide
semi-circle, the men wearing their
okapi belts and the women their
beads and all their finery. They were
busily eating round a table in the cen
ter. Each pygmy carefully placed q
little packet of his particular provi
sion on the table, which was soon
laden with a supply of bananas, honey
and sweet potatoes. The pygmy
teachers explanation was that they
were changing camp and by this cere
monial feast, invoked the supreme
| spirit to give them good luck in theil
new hunting grounds.

In case the state elects a republican

The Thunder and the Shouting

The Thunder and the Shouting
In the preliminary operations
preceding the admission Of eandi-
dacies to the vote of che people
August 1, under the now primary
act there Is much Of the "thunder
of the captains and shouting" It
need not terribly or Aismay and II
need not encourage. 1t is butshs
thunder Of the captains.
"The tumult and the shouting
dies; the captains and the kings
DEPART that Is what the primary
law is for. 1.-THE people shall rice
up as a great lion" Whereupon.
The Captains and the kings de-
part" They may not depart far
Their than the nearest available
tree limb, but for the coming pri-
mariss there will be q departure.
The captains whose thunder
and whose shouting are the most
audible things in the political
vineyards at the present have no
divine rights under the primary
law. They as well as the candi-
dates must get their authority
from the people. The new law is
certain of it's title for the coming
primaries. II may 60 the way of
irs predecessors, when IL gets in =
TO tho Supreme court, or it may
not, but it cannot be put in judici-
al jeopardy before Aug. 1, If it
holds good the captains will be
better accustomed to it on its Sec
ond trial. They may not have to
take to the tree limbs the next
time. They will probably have
discovered how to stand be-
hind the trunk but for the first
primaries the captains are likely
to be busy with matters pertain
ing to their own immediate well
fare. Like any new broom the
New Law will sweep clean at first
For this reason Republicans OF
Missouri, who nave been seized
with the laudable ambition tt
serve thei. fellow citizens in the
capacity OF state or county officers
should not put too much trust III
the thunder of the county com.
mittee captains or be too much
dismayed by it.
