THE BELTED PLAID. : j
This Was tho Original Dress Of the
Scottish Hqh!ander,

Scottish Highlander.
The original dress of the highlander
was the belted plaid. This was piece
Of tartan cloth, two yards broad and
four long, which was drawn around
the waist in nicely adjusted folds and
part came down to the knees in much
the same manner as the modern kilt,
while the upper part was drawn up
and adjusted to the left shoulder, so
that the right arm might be perfectly
free. This upper part was the plaid,
which was used as covering for the
shoulders and body in wet weather,
and when the use of both arms was
required 1t was fastened across the
breast with brooch, often curiously
enriched. A brooch was also used to
fasten the plaid on the left shoulder.
To attire himself in the belted plaid
required on the part of the highlander
no small amount of dexterity. The
usual way was to lay it on the floor
and after carefully arranging the
folds to lie down upon it and then
buckle 1t on. The lower end was fas.
tened at the right hip. The utility Of
such a dress in the highlands Is OBJ
vious, for the plaid rendered the man
Indifferent to storms and prepared to
pass q night in the open air In the
most Indictment weather. while the
loose undergarment enabled him to
wade rivers or ascend mountains with
equal ease. 1t was thus peculiarly
adapted to the warrior, the hunter and
the shephsrd.-London Mail.

Mustaohes Compulsory.

Mustaches have been made compul-
sorry in the Austrian army, or. rather,
an old ordinance has been revived by
rescript from the war ministry, it
is said, on the personal wish of EN-
peror Francis Joseph. The original
compulsory mustache order dates
from before 1848, and It's author was
General Count Cyulai the successor
Of the famous Radetzky in the war
with the Italian states, who himself
possessed an immense flowing mus
tach and who wanted every man in
the army to grow one, too. The new
order at the same time upholds the
exclusive privilege enjoyed by the
Windischgratz regiment of dragons,
which distinguished itself in the bat
tie Of Kolin, where Frederick the
Great was defeated in 1857, in memory
of which they were allowed to shave.
Since then there has not been mus
tache in the regiment.

Art Of Being Agreeable.

The true art Of being agreeable is
to appear well pleased with all the
company, and rather to seem well en-
tertained with them than to give en-
tertainment to them. A man thus dis
posed, perhaps, may not have much
learning, nor any wit; but If he have
common sense, or something friendly
in his behavior, it conciliates men more
than the brightest talents without this
disposition; and later, man of such
turn is almost sure to be treated
with respect.
It is true, indeed, that he should not
dissemble and f1atter, in company; but
a man may be very agreeable, strictly
consistent with truth and sincerity, by
a prudent silence where he cannot con-
cur, and a pleasant assent where he
can.
Now and then you meet with a per-
son so exactly formed to please that
he will gain upon everyone that hears
or beholds him; this disposition Is not
merely the gift of nature, but frequent
ly the effect Of much knowledge Of
the world and a command over the
passions. Christian Science Monitor.

The New Alaskan Island.

In connection with an earthquake
which shook Unalaska and Dutch Har-
Dor on September IL a new island has
been added to the Bogoslof group in
the Aleutian channel at a point where
a sounding last year by the geological
survey showed 10 fathoms of water.
The island is in the form of a great
round hill, close to Perry peak, an
islet that rose year before last.
The famous volcano Bogoslof in the
Aleutian islands has again been in
eruption. For scores Of miles around
Unimak island, where Mount Shishal-
din has been in eruption for FIVE
months, the sea has been covered with
ashes and pumice. In one case the
sail Of a schooner was set on fire by
the hot ashes. The ups and downs Of
this unstable bit Of American territory
form one Of the most lively geological
stories Of modern times, since the
first known island on this site rose
from the sea in 1895 land was named
Johanna Bogoslof), to be followed in
1925 by Ship Rock and other volcanic
intrusions. -Zion's Herald.

A Phenomenon, IndeedI

Four-year-old Elmer and his family
had just moved to the country, and
Alice in Wonderland hadn't anything
on Elmer in that land of green grass
and wonderful creatures.
One Of the first things to bid him
welcome was friendly old hen with
a very new brood of "peep'peeps."
And no Buddhist at his shrine could
have been more assiduous in his de-
votions than was that city-bred baby
to the strutting mother and her fluff
balls.
Now 1t happened that one day FL
mer's father observed a cat, unat-
tached and lanky, casting what he
took to be hungry eye at those same
chickens. Looking around for a
harmless but effective missile, he dis
covered bag Of soup beans right at
his hand, and thereby hangs this tale.
For short time afterward little FL
mer ran into the house with his face
crimson with excitement
ooh, mammal" he shouted. Look
at these little eggs I found in the
grass! The peep-peeps laid them!"
And opening his hand, he disclosed
half dozen soup beans.

snk Sock Zoe to MatrImony.

Tina the desire Of young men to
decorate themselves in sartorial finery
is the prime cause why many fail to
place their necks under the yoke Of
matrimony, is the assertion Of Rev
Samuel Hemphill, distinguished
Irish clergyman.
1T seems that the young men Of to-
day" says DR.. Hemphill, prefer pat
ent leather shoes and spats and fort
nights swelling about a watering
place, or a game of billiards at club
every night, to the delights of family
life. Their wages, In most cases, will
not permit both the sartorial adorn-
ment and some sort of a club and a
wife, so they go in for flashy clothes
and let lot of sweet girls pine out
their lives in maidenhood. Better the
love of sweet wife than all the silk
socks and gaudy waistcoats in the
world"

Three Took Part In a eI-NashIng
Composition and Another Got
Prize for Sewing.

AT bazars and such-like functions
ministers Of the gospel sometimes en-
gage in very amusing competitions
which they would scarcely dream OF
entering under any other auspices.
AT church bazaar at Slough some
little time ago great fun was occar
stoned by the appearance of trio Of
reverend gentlemen in the role OF
washwomen.
They pitted themselves against each
other In a duster-washing competition;
Nand. having been provided with q
bowl Of water, a piece OF soap and q
dirty duster. they set vigorously to
work.
The time allowed for the washing
was three minutes, on the expiration
Of which, the busters were submitted
to the critical judgment of three mar
ried ladies'. But they found the DUST
ers Of two of the competitors SO we'll
washed that they could not decide
which was the cleaner.
A somewhat similar clerical contest
formed one of the attractions at a ba-
Ear held in Manchester. In this In
stance the articles elected to be
washed were towels, and each COM
petitor had not only to wash one, but
hang 1t out to dry, being allowed 31a
minutes for the work.
Two Wears and snree curates took
part in this competition, the way they
shaped at the washtubs causing
some of the lady spectators to shrek
with laughter.
The best was considered to be that
which had been done by curate re-
Gently married, and somebody had the
hardihood to suggest that perhaps he
had been taking lessons at home.
At bazaar arranged for the benefit
of Liverpool church O handkerchief
hemmlng competition took place be-
tween three clergymen Of the town.
They were to do as much as they
could in the time limit of quarter of
an hour, and the prize, half dozen
choice pocket handkerchiefs, was to
be awarded to the one who did the
most hemming Of a presentable char
acter.
One of the reverend gentlemen
proved quite an adept at the work, for
his hemming was not only by far the
neatest, but he did nearly double as
much as the next best competitor and
therefore carried off the prize. In the
Is minutes allowed he hemmed nearly
one side Of his handkerchief.

RoxaI Poets Of Great Britain.

BY far the most famous and the
best Of our royal poets was James T..
Of Scotland. While prisoner In
Windsor Castle he composed his al
legory, "The Kings Quhair." 1t owed
its origin to James love for Lady
James Beaufort, beautiful young lady
nearly allied to the royal family, and
of whom he became enamored by
seeing her from the wind3w of his
room as she walked in the garden.
She atterward became his queen.

Grey and her equally unfortunate

stined to end on the scaffold, by
learned studies.-T. P.'s Weekly.

THAT 10 WHAT EARL PERcYs
MOVING AMOUNTED TO.
NobIeman Of sixteenth Century Had
Only One Set Of Furniture for
All the Places Of Residence
Which He Occupied.

Most Of the Percy estates were so
close together in the north, commerce
was already so far developed, and
the earl himself was so often absent
on business of state, that his house
hold was generally able to avoid any
more serious displacement than the
periodical migrations from Wressill to
Leckinfeld and back, distance of
some twenty miles. These fittings,
however, turned everything upside
down for a day or two. For the earl,
like smaller men, had only one set
of movables for all his residences;
and, as surviving documents testify,
he needed far greater train for these
periodical journeys than for the con-
tingent of 523 men at whose head he
served in the French campaign in
1913. Only the heaviest articles were
permanent fixtures; all else must be
transported chairs, tables,
kitchen utensils, hangings for doors
and walls, and even glass easements
for the windows. This book throws a
vivid light on such phrases as "the
breaking up of my lords house." or
his lordship set up his house again"
Sometimes there was partial
breakup without an actual move;
when my lord kept his secret house"
dismissing the majority of his serv-
ants to live on board wages in the
village, and retiring to a corner of
his own castle for some such ap-
proach to the simple life as his mod
ern descendant might enjoy in High
land shooting box The general mi
grations, when they came, followed a
strict routine; each man had his
specified share of horse and vehicle
for himself and his belongings.
A single paragraph will show not
only how carefully everything was or
ganized beforehand but also (what
may be more unfamiliar to some read
ers) the very primitive sleeping ar
rangements which were common in
the middle ages. Item, it is ordained
at every removal that the dean, sub
dean, priests, gentlemen and children
of my lords chapel, with the yeoman
and groom of the vestry, shall have
appointed them two carriages at
every removal; viz, one for their
beds; viz, for priests beds after
to a bed; for 10 gentlemen of the
chapel beds after to a bed, and
for children beds after to bed,
and bed for the yeoman and groom" "
Out of all the officers on these occa-
sions, high and low, six only had a
bed to themselves, and not one of
the eight migratory priests was
among these privileged few. We find
even the sixth earl addressing his
relative, Thomas Arundel, as bed
fellow; for they had been servants
together in Wolsey's stately house
