PASSING OF THE PleTAIL


Although the queue, less reverentlJ
known as pigtail, is most commonly
associated in the public mind Of to
day with the people of China, and al
though that fashion Of wearing the
hair has probably been attributed by
the thoughtless in many instances to
what most Of us were taught by our
school Biographies to regard as the
half-civilized condition of the Chinese,
1t is a fact well worth noting that the
Chinese are by no means the only ma
ton on earth to have shown respect
and partially to the queue. The re-
cent edict sanctioning the abolition
Of the pigtail in China reminds the
London Chronicle that 1t is not 80
very long ago since the pigtail disap'
peared not merely from the British
army and navy, but even from every
day civilian life in England. Waist
hong pigtails were the fashionable
wear In England about 1740, and be-
fore that the bag wig had been
adorned with a pigtail looped up In a
black silk flag. AS late as 1858 an old
gentleman was seen in Cheapside with
his gray hair tied behind in a short
queue, and 1t appears that even today
may be found in England a relic Of
the pigtail; for. according to the
Chronicle, three pieces Of black vel
vet on the dress tunics of officers in
the Royal Welsh Fusiliers are the re-
mains Of the ribbon with which the
queue was tied.

a most beautiful park was invested with the dig
nifty of presidential summer home. 1t was evil
dent of course that the progress Of the war
would prevent President Lincoln from absenting
himself from the capital for even a brief vaca-
ton, and yet it was equally manifest that his
health would suffer unless he had some relief
from the tropical heat that besets the city on the
Potomac In summer. 1t was General Scott, him.

forthwith fell under the spell of the romantic
spot and removed his family from the White
House to the newly-dscovered retreat.
From this time until his untimely death Lin
coin spent each summer at the cottage on the
heights. 1t was his custom to drive into Wash
ington each morning from the cottage and after
spending the day at his office in the White House
to drive back to the cottage at night, but there
were of course occasional days when he re-
manned at his suburban retreat and many confer
ences were held there from time to time that
had important bearing upon the fortunes of the
Union. The cottage came to be known as "the
presidents cottage" and is so popularity desg-
mated to this day, but in the course of time II
was, by Llncoln's own direction officially christ

for the permanent use of the President OF the
United States and in later years it was occupied
for brief intervals by Presidents Grant, Hayes
and Arthur, but none of them we're so deeply at
tached to the modest and comfortable habtation
as was the Civil War President.
To presentday visitors the center OF interest
at the Lincoln cottage is President Lncons bed
room, which is on the second floor and is the
largest room IN the house. Two large front win
dows open directly over the porch and splendid
view Of the City Of Washington is Afforded The
parade grounds of the Soldiers Home, the flag

old soldiers hold the cottage in the greatest ven
