PITFALLS In British Army.

Pigtails survived in our army un-
til well into the nineteenth century,
the Welsh fusiliers being the last
to abandon them. Sir Algernon
West relates how he heard an argu-
ment once as to whether the blues
did or did not wear pigtails at
Waterloo. One of the d~isputants,
who had seen them on their way to
Dover, was convinced that they did.
The other, who had been a mid
shipman on the transport which
conveyed them to Ostend, was
equally certain that their hair was
short. The giver of the dinner at
which the dispute arose referred the
matter on the following day to a
friend who had served in the blues
at Waterloo. "Both your friends
were right" he said. ave were re-
viewed at Windsor by the king on
Il departure with u pigtails on,
and at Dover we had them cut off

General Frederick D. Grant said
of camp cookery:
Soldiers in camp have a right to

food. They mustn't expect, how
ever, French 'plats.' They mustn't
be overparticular, like the man at
the quick lunch counter.

kinetic EneruN.

Kinetic energy is the power
stored in a moving object which
keeps it in motion. BY way of illus
tration, conceive a railway train
rushing along a straight, level
stretch of track, the train being
driven to its power limit. If the
source of power-say, the steam
pressure-is now suddenly removed
by shutting off the valve, the train
will continue to run, or "coast," for
a long distance, due to its kinetic
energy, the speed being gradually
reduced until the energy is ex-
hansted-

ITALIAN HUM0R.
Story of the ingenious Nephew and
His Witty Uncle.

While this perhaps has nothing to
do with current literature, we jot it
down because it impressed US as be-
ing particularly good and because
it illustrates as we'll as any story
that we have ever heard the pecul-
lar quality of Italian humor. Fa-
solacci is a youth of much elegance
and little discretion. He has been
spending right and left, and one
day he finds himself unable to pay
his hotel bill. Owing to the avarice
of his father, he appeals to his
uncle:
Dear Uncle-If you could see
nv shame while | write you would
pity me. Do you know why? Be-
cause | Lave to ask you for 100
francs and know not how to express
my humble gratitude.
"No, il is impossible to tell you!
| prefer to die.
Il send you this by a messenger,
who awaits an answer.
believe me, dear uncle, your
most obedient and aHectionate
nephew, FASOLACCI."
"P. S.-Overcome with shame for
what | have written, | have been
running after the messenger in Or
der to take the letter from him, but
| could not catch up with him.
Heaven grant that something may
happen to stop him or that this let
ter may be lost. F."
The uncle receives the letter, is
touched by its contents, considers
and replies:
MY Beloved Nephew-Console
yourself and blush no longer. Provi-
dence heard your prayer. The mes
senger lost your letter. Goodby.
"Your affectionate uncle,

LIFE CT A WATCH.
Dso.nds Largely on the Tinnekceper
and the Man Wearing Ii.

The life of a watch, jewelers. say,
| depends largely on the person car
| r:nr it and the caro- taken of it.
: To the care Of Il watch some
lev c,crs say that It should be oiled
, ,9.a wear. some once in two years
7...a@s once in eighteen months
wo1ld be about the right thing.
All jewelers. say that a watch
should ALWAYS be wound at the same
time daily. This is essential to
make it give the best and most uni
form results. If a watch is permit
ted to run down it may on rewind-
inc kccr different time and require
REGULATING. With the watch wound
regularly and kept running there IS
set up and established in the main
spring a certain tension. If this
strain is wholly released by letting
the watch run down the spring may
on rewinding take on a somewhat
different tension. This difference
nav be extremely slight, but it may
he enough to affect the running Of
,Ae watch.
While some watches are long Ey-
al, many are short lived, the long
lived watches being of course those
Of fine quality that are also well
cared for. But there is a limit to
the life Of any watch that is kept
constantly in use. The best Of
watches, like the best of anything,
will wear out in time.
4 matchmaker had lately brought
in to him for repair a watch 125
ears Old that had been running
practically continuously. 1t might
he difficult to say of just what dura-
ton its intervals of rest had been,
hut it was supposed to have been
run practically continuously, and,
though it had stopped at least once,
it was still in fairly good condition
and good for some future use. But
this was an extraordinary case. Most
watches, however excellent they
NAY have been originally, would
with constant use wear out in far
less time.
Sometimes there are brought in
10 jewellers fine old and once val
liable watches whose owners, desiT-
ing now to buy a new watch, wish
to offer the old watch at some price
in exchange, but it is of no value
except for the weight of the metal
contained in its cases. Every Jew
cler has an accumulative collection
Of such old works, which are of no
value whatever, except that at long
intervals there may be found among
them a wheel or a part that may
serve in some other old time watch
brought in for repair.
So watches do wear out, and as to
the life of a watch, a jeweler said,
a good average watch with fair care
ought to wear from thirty to forty
years and a fine watch fifty years;
it might last seyenty-fve, but fifty
years would probably be nearer the
figure.
1t may be thought that a superior
watch would last longer than that,
but really the wonder is that this
delicate piece of mechanism run.
ming year after year ceaselessly
should run so long.-New York

NO DEFENSE MADE
 BY SUPT. SCRIBNER
Man Injured by Automobile Ex- plains Nature of Wounds to
 Judge Wheeler

No defense was entered in the suit of Antonio Mastroionni against Fred erick Scribner. superintendent of the Royal Equipment Co.,. heard yesterday before Judge Ralph Wheeler in the Su- perior court. The defendant was not represented in any way. not even by counsel. The suit grew out of an au- tomobile accident on the evening of Nov.,7 last when the plaintiff was i'm jured by the defendants machine.
 The plaintiff explained to the court that while he was in Main street cross ing Arch street, the car of the defend- ant turned. to the left. ran into him, and dragged him for a distance of 50 feet. If MT. Scribner had kept to the right of the road the plaintiff would not have been hit. As a result of the mixup. the plaintiff sustained a broken collar blade and several bruises and has been in the Bridgeport hos pital for two months. Dr. Arthur Scrimgeour of the Bridgeport hospital staff explained to the court that the injuries to Mastroionni are of per- manent nature.
 Attorney Henry Shannon, who rep resented the plaintiff, was asked by the court to file a statement of further facts as to a permanent injury, and also the law on the matter.
