"HUNTING THE FOX"
Curious Military Maneuvers of the Old
"Uninformed" Militia.

According to so good an authority as
the late General j. Watts de Peyster,
our grandfathers practiced maneuver
at their annual general training" that
was perhaps the acme of military alb
surdity. His description of 1t is quoted
In his biography by Mr.. Frank Allaben:
In Cooperstown l saw a general
training of the old fashioned "unin-
formed" militia, as some people, igno-
rantly inserting second n" used to
call them, not altogether without JUS
tice. The concluding evolution was in
tricate, but not calculated to inspire re-
spect for the warriors who executed it,.
1t was called hunting the fox" A dis
tinguished officer, all lace and buttons
and wearing very tall feather, led a
long line Of patriotic citizens, armed
with cleaning bayonets, in single or
Indian file, to the sound Of martial mu-
sic. The leader made himself the spin
die of spiral movement, until the
warriors, who had previously been
formed round an open square, were
wound up round him like tight watch
spring.
I wondered how they could ever un-
twist themselves, when the commander
gave an order In voice like Ajax de-
flying the thunderbolt, and-they all sat
down In one another's laps! The effect
was startling. / looked up to my
father with inquiring eyes. Even he
was impressed. He made gesture of
silence and attention The music had
ceased. Then | saw the magnificent
plume rise like the head of jack in
the box when the spring is touched.
He gave another order, and round him
rose that coil of armed men; and as
they rose music's voluptuous swell-or
rather voluminous swell. for the major
ity of instruments were drums-filled
the whole air with sonorous sounds.
and l saw that magnificent plume un-
wind the coil with the same majesty
with which 1t had wound it up.

One must be poor to know the luxury
SHEET BREAD OF ASIA.
Used For Awnings, Blankets, Window
panee and Food.

Instead Of baking bread i.i loaves, the
inhabitants of Asia Minor. Arabia,
Turkestan and the Tigris Euphrates
valley make it into sheets. These
sheets are about forty inches wide and
twice a, long, and the natives make al
most as much use of them as the Amer
lean Indian does OF birch bark. If they
need an awning for protection against
sun or rain they unwind u roll OF this
bread and carry it back and forth over
pole several times, much as camper
puts up u dog tent, for ii it has coat
of almond oil or mutton tallow the
bread is fairly waterproof.
1t is a comical sight to see team
ster or camel driver OF the Levant
travel placidly through heavy shower
with a couple OF yards of bread sheet
ing thrown over his shoulders and to
see him tear off pieces here and there
and chew on them If he feels hungry.
The bread is made of durum wheat
-four mixed with the pulp Of sultana
raisins, which gives it sweet taste
and fragrance like that OF honey.
The Arab uses his sheets of bread,
which look like chamois leather, for a
makeshift blanket, and 1t is said by
travellers who have tried 1t that it
keeps the heat in and the cold out al
most as well as real blanket. But
some Of the Russian engineers at work
on the construction Of the Transsibe-
rian railway did even better, for they
made paste of the bread by boiling
several pieces and then stuck together
two strips of the sheeting, each a me-
ter wide by two meters long. Thus
they manufactured sleeping bag, and
very comfortable one too.
The Turkish peasants use this fiat
bread for window panes, and in the ba-
zaars the venders of merchandise wind
up pieces as grocer does paper corn
ucopia and use them to hold small
amounts of nuts, Turkish candies or
squares of sugar. OF course the pur-
chaser eats the bag with it's contents
In the same shape the bread sheeting
is used for holding the fruity drinks of
the Bosporus, but it will not stand
hot liquids, even when it is coated with
almond oil. Thanks to the raisin pulp,
the bread is of remarkable elasticity
and can be bent back and forth with
out cracking. 1t has actually been used
for bookbinding.-Y Companion.

Skinny.

A contributor to the American Mag
azine tells the following story:
"A clerk in one of the great jewelry
stores on Fifth avenue, in New York
city, exhibited to rich and weary
customer lady's handbag, five inches
square. made Of platinum and fairly
well covered on one side only with
diamonds. The price was $4,000. The
fact that one side only was covered
with diamonds troubled the customer.
Turning the handbag around and
around and looking at it from all sides
over and over, he finally said: Very
pretty. really. But | don't like one
side without diamonds. Honestly. the
thing looks skimpy-rather skinny
At an additional expense OF $1,000 this
difficulty was removed"
