Then he blew out his own brains. The

THE sElrep PLAID.
1h's was the Original Dress Of tn
Scottish Highlander.

oS0sSsSn r11Qn!ander.
The original dress Of the highlander
vas 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
lightly buckled with u belt The lower
part came down to the knees in much
tne same manner as the modern kilt.
while the upper part was drawn IN
and adjusted to the left shoulder. so
that the right arm might. be perfectly
nee. This upper part was the plaid,
which was used as q covering for the
shoulders and body In wet weather.
ana when the use Of both arms was
required 1t was fastened across the
breast with a brooch, often curiously
enriched. A brooch was also used to
fasten the plaid on the left shoulder.
TO attire himself In the belted plaiI
required on the part Of the highlander
no small amount OF dexterity. The
usoai way was to lay 1t on the door
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 q dress in the highlands is OBJ
vious. for the plaid rendered the man
lndinerent to storms and prepared to
pass night in the open air in the
most Indictment weather. while the
loose uldergarment enabled him to
wade rivers or ascend mountains with
equal ease. 1t WAS thus peculiarly
adapted to the warrior. the hunter and
the shepherd.-London Mail.
