The nMacaroni.v

The "macaroni" were exquisites or
tops who in England and France led
the fashions from 1880 to 1875 and
were distinguished by an immense
knot of artificial hair worn on the top
of their heads. A small cooked hat
which perched ridiculously on their
topknot, satin or brocade coats and
small clothes fitting tightly to the body
and silk stockings with ribbon carriers
composed the costume Of these fash
ionable gentlemen, who invariably car
ried long walking stick with tassels
attached and frequently bouquet tied
to the handle and encouraged MING
Ing and affected gait and manner.
There was during the war for indie
pendence a body OF Maryland soldiers
who on account Of their SNOWY uni
forms were called "macaroni."

A Dandy OF lffu.

From an English newspaper printed
in the year 1777 is the following de-
scription of dandy: "a few days ago
a macaroni made his appearance in
the assembly rooms at Whitehaven,
dressed in a mixed silk coat, pink satin
waistcoat and breeches covered with
an elegant silk net. white silk stock
ings with pink clocks, pink satin shoes
and large pearl buttons, a mushroom
colored stock covered with fine point
lace, hair dressed remarkably high and
stuck full of pearl pins"

THE MILITARY SQUARE.
A Formation Borrowed by WaIIaes
From the Fienings.

From the Fiemings.
The greatest of all Scottish anniver-
saries is that of Bannockburn, fought
in the year 1914. Apart from its bear
ing on the independence of Scotland,
the battle will always have an excep-
tional interest from the military point
Of view. as Bannockburn may be said
to have been the birthplace of the
British square. Proud Edwards"
army mainly consisted of cavalry,
while that of the Scots, on the other
hand, was almost exclusively composed
of foot folk armed with the spear,
and these Bruce threw into '.schiI-
troms.' or oblong squares, a formation
borrowed by Wallace from the Elem
ings. who had employed it with sue
cess at Courtray to resist the charge of
the English cavalry.
Hitherto the mounted mail clad
knight had carried everything before
him, but Courtray and Bannockburn
proved that be was powerless to break
resolute spear armed infantry drawn
up in ''schiltrom." or hedgehog, forma-
ton, and these two battles revolution
lied the tactics Of the continent and
of our own island Profting by the
lesson which had been taught them
at Bannockburn, the English applied
the tactics of the Scots with brilliant
success at Crecy and still more at
Agincourt AS it was the Scots who
may be said to have originated the
British square at Bannockburn, so it
was they again who at Balaklava were
the first to discard it with their thin
red line,D and now, owing to our
changed conditions Of warfare, it is
discarded together.-London Chron-
