THE FIRST TROUSERS.
They Were Worn Skin Tight and Led
Men to Pad Their Legs.

The advent of the silk hat led to the
Introduction Of trousers. Knee breech-
es and silk stockings did not CORE
spond with stovepipe hats. Try them
now and see If you think they do. So
reformers set themselves to work to
devise some neither garments congru-
pus with the new headpiece.
The result was trousers. There had,
II is true, been some precursors of
those iniuitable garments. The Turk
had worn voluminous twin bags on his
legs, gathered and tied. bag fashion,
at the ankles. The Cossacks, too, had
found such things more convenient for
horseback riding than any other garb,
and 'pantaloons" were used in armies,
especially by the French. But none of
these nor any other garment that was
worn prior to 1916 could be described
as genuine trousers.
The first trousers worn in London
were of plain. light colored cloth, and
fitted very tightly; almost as tight, we
may believe, as those in this country
a generation ago. In the second sea-
son striped and other figured cloths
were used by some, but such trousers
were regarded as quite plebeian and fit
for wearing only in bad weather when
the streets were muddy. or as Il sort of
rough outing garb at the seaside. A
favorite material for trousers worn by
men of fashion was an elastic stock
met, which fitted literally Skin tight"
Beneath such garments, TO supply the
deficiencies of nature, men were not
averse to wearing false calves and
other paddings on their legs Straps
passing beneath the foot were used to
keep the trouser legs held down In
place. Exchange.

THE V. Nj. |. TROUBLE.

At this writing, Tuesday, an inves-
legation is being made into charges
that Cadet Sweets death was caused
by hazing and the conduct of the
Institute in general, we suppose, will
he investigated. 1t is to be hoped that
the matter will be gone into thor
oughly, and the ugly, damaging ru-
mors proven without foundation, or, if
true, the guilty parties punished, and
no use be made of the white-wagh brush
After Il conversation with Cadet V.
k. Gillespie, a senior c!;.S.man. and
President II ms class, va Iclt cert
tain that there is now 10 hazing
going on at V. NJ. |. An official inves-
tigation will do good however. and
the pnblic awaits The findings with
interest.
1t appears that the report of Cadet
Sweets death which has caused an
uproar was sent out by Washington
and Lee student, and, as there is feel
ing existing between the two schools,
the motive behind the report has
been construed rs sinister and inten-
tionally 50 written. The fact that
there are frequent clashes between
these two prominent institutions of
learning, is well known, and has been
for years-nothing more serious. per-
haps, than boyishness and rivalry,
such as is to be expected between two
large schools situated in the same
small town. The Feeling" is likely
to be augmented by this recent cpl
sode.
These two schools might be and
should be helpful to each other in
many ways, if they would try so to
be.

Perhaps no question of recent time
has come before the people upon
which there is such wide difference
OF opinion as. upon this question of
an increase in our army and navy.
One school contends that the army
and navy should at once be put upon
q war footing equal or superior to
that of any other nation, and be pre-
pared to repel any attack which could
be made upon US. Another, that only
the navy should be increased and en-
larged. Another, that this prepa-
ration should not be made now, all
at once, but be made gradually. Still
another, represented by Mr.. Bryan
and others, that such preparedness"
is totally unnecessary, if not abso-
lutely wrong. And so, it goes. AS we

UNCLE JOHN" HAS MOVED TO
NORTH CAROLINA.

1t will be recalled that certain
prominent and somewhat eccentric
citizen of this county, has from time
TO time contributed articles to this
paper over the name of "Uncle John ."
he wrote on and discussed various
subjects in his own quaint way, and
always with pleasure to the editor
and many of the readers Of his paDer.
as well. 1t is with regret therefore.
that we learn of his removal and that
his articles will not longer appoar in
this paper. He has moved to North
Carolina, and is now writing for the
Progressive Farmer. The editor of
that good paper, we knew, had en-
Vious and covetous eyes upon uncle
John for quite a while, and at last
captured him. The editor of that fine
paper "covets the best gifts
and while we are somewhat surpris-
ed that Uncle John, or anybody else,
should leave Virginia for North Caro-
lima, we are glad he is doing what he
can to enlighten the bcnighted of the
old North State, and wish him, the
editor of the Progressive Farmer, and
all, merry Christmas!
A recent letter from Uncle John
brings the pleasing intelligence that
he will write US occasionally from
North Carolina, and let US know how
be likes the Tar Heels.
