That epidemic of insurgency which
swept the Republican House in the for
mer Congress now bids fair to break out
among the democratic majority of the
next Senate-that which will. in a few
weeks. be called to order to consider the
democratic tariff bill.

the democrats in the Senate stood for
the fulfilment of their partys pledge to
frame tariff for revenue only. and these

tariff bill now upon the statute books.

Scotland and Ireland together is less

Caps Were First Worn by
Soldiers of French ARMY

YEARLY all high school boys, great
~ many boys in private schools and
some boys who not in school at
all wear a certain sort of cap which
they often call soldier cap and occa-
sionally school cap, but very seldom
by it's right name of kept Few of the
wearers' of this almost universal cap
know whence it was derived, nor by what
changes and transformations it reached
its present neat and trim shape.
This cap. which our schoolboys Dor
rowed in modified form from the sol
French army.
Late in the eighteenth century the
French army had in its service a corps
of Hungarians and other foreigners from
the Austrian dominons. who brought with
them tall, stiff. cylindrical hat which
they called 'csako.' 1t was made
sometimes of felt. sometimes of leather,
and was from ten to twelve inches high.
The French give their fashions to other
people, but in the first place they com.
monty adopt them from other people.
They took up the csako or shake al
most at once. 1t replaced the old-fash-
ioned three-corner hat, which, in the
minds of the revolutionary French. went
with powdered hair and monarchies. They
did not know when they donned the shake
that they We're wearing an emblem of a
worse monarchy than that of the Bour-
bOnS.
The shake was. in fact. but a develop
ment of the Tartar toaue. which the AL
banians and Illyrians We're forced to wear
by the early Turks in token of their con-
quest and servitude. A humiiating badge
in the first place. it became fashion in
southeastern Europe, and thence was
adopted by the French.
But the shake itself was unfit for actual
military service: 1t had to be thrown
away in hard fight, leaving the soldier
without headgear 1t became lower and
lower in height, and was changed in
many particulars. Finally. when the
French soldiers went 10 fight in Algeria.
where the hot climate rendered the shake
unfit for campaigning, one corps came out
in a low cap that had a visor, and only
one round piece of the shake remaining.
1t was as If only the top of the cylindri-
cal shake had been preserved and at
tached to a little cloth. allowed to tip
forward over the forehead.
X x
This new headgear was called the
kept, No one knows where this word
originated. 1t may have been an extern
sion and corruption of the English word
cap. 1t is pronounced in French almost
as if spelled "keppy.
The use of the kept spread rapidly
the French army. though
the shake remained as the Wear of GER
tain corps and was definitely abolished
in all branches of the French service
only in 1892.

these features will be corrected as well
As early 1891 1.-THE need of a standa ri
map was brought before geographical
congresses. Not until 1909 however, was
the matter taken up definitely The Brit
ish government called an international
conference in that year, at which repre-
sentatives from the United States. Aus

Russia and Spain formally took part
while delegates from Australia. Canada
and SaXony were present

Naturally much discussion was neces-
sary before plan could be outlined on
subject which touched each country so
closely. The resolutions which were for
mally adopted provided that Great
Britain, France. Germany and Russia
should prepare the map for Europe,
Africa, Asia and Australia. while the
United States and Canada should map
their own territory. thus leaving only
Central and South America unprovided

COD LIVER OIL AND IRON
Two Most World Famed Tonics
 Combined in Vinol

Cod Liver oil and Iron have proved to be the two most successful tonics the world has ever known-iron for the blood and the medicinal curative clements of cod liver oil as a strength and tissue builder for body and nerves, and for the successful treat. ment of throat and lung troubles.
 Two eminent French chemists dis. covered a method of separating the curative medicinal clements of the cods' flyers from the oil or grease which is thrown away but to these medicinal elements tonic iron is now added, thus combining in vinol the two most world famed tonics.
 AS body-builder and strength ere. ator for weak. rundown people. for feeble old people. delicate children, to restore strength after sickness: and for chronic coughs, colds, bron chitis or pulmonary troubles we ask you to try Vinol with the understand ing that your money will be returned if 1t does not help you.

 INFANT BLINDNESS
 Infant blindness is an inflammation of the eyes of the newborn. which is usually due to infection by specific organism. If not properly treated, pilndness IS very common result. A large proportion of the blind babies owe their loss of sight to this cause. Blindness rarely occurs if the disease IS properly treated from the begin. ning. The possibility of any baby be- coming infected at the time of con- nnement should be constantly borne Tn mind, and it is desirable to carry out routine preventive treatment in every case.
 PREVENTIVE TREATMENT
 l. After washing the lids and ad. Jaceht tissues, drop into the eyes of every new born babe few drops of a 2o per cent solution of argyrol.
 4 It Is not necessary To wash the solution from the eyes as it is prac tically non irritating.
 ;. Care should be taken that the end of the dropper does not touch the eye-oall and that the tinger-nails do not come in contact with the cornea. 4, The solution of argyrol should be freshly prepared.for each contne- ment case
 SUGGESTION.
 Before leaving confinement case, the physician should instruct the nurse, or, if a nurse is not employed. the most intelligent member of the family, to notify the doctor at once if the eyes become inflamed or discharge matter.
