Reason for Baaqy Trousers.

The American sailors trousers are
made on the baggy pattern for rea-
sons of convenience and cleanliness.
They are, in fact. a marine institu-
tion. A pair of trousers cut on any
other lines could have no place on a
warship. The ditty bag in which Jack
carries his worldly possessions would
have no room for any other brand.
Ask any sailorman you chance to
meet and he will tell you that the
wide-legged trousers stand not only
for convenience and cleanliness, but
comfort as we'll. They are cut exact
ly the same width from the knee
down as they are from the knee up,
the simple reason being that when
Jack is detailed to swab the decks of
his ship he wants to shed his foot
gear and turn up his trousers to the
knee. The wide leg is turned up
evenly to the hip, and when turned
down again the cloth will not be
wrinkled or put out of shape, as
would be the case If the trousers
were cut narrow at the bottom.

stockyards to Be eeau,Ified.

Unoccupied places in the Chicago
stockyards are to be made to bloom.
Instead of unattravtive lanes and
pens and roadways and great bare
buildings, the yards are to present
stretches of flower beds, with here
and there buildings surrounded with
shrubbery.' The scheme originated
with ]. Ogden Armour, and the first
fruits of his plan may be seen at the
general offices Of Armour & Co.,
where bright flowers are in bloom all
around the buildings. The packers
hope that the visitors to the yards
will find comfort in the flowers and
shrubbery after they have listened to
the thousand and one grating noises
which fill the air at all hours Of the
day.

"eoohine" at the Moon.

The comparative proximity of Mars
this month recalls Oliver Wendell
Holmes story of attracting the atten-
tion Of the moon. It was nothing less
than that every one on earth should
exclaim "Booh!" at one and the same
time, thus creating great Boob!
which should penetrate some 23S,000
miles of space. For some years no
one on earth talked of anything but
the terrific noise that was to be made
when they all said "Booh!" but when
the time came every one was so intent
upon hearing the noise that only a
deaf man in Fiji and woman in
Pekin thought to say it.
