Leuqinqs of the Marines.

The stout leggings worn by members
of the United States marine corps are
not a purely decorative adjunct to
their very natty uniforms, as popularity
supposed by civilians, but are a pro-
lection for the men against tropical
diseases while in foreign service, naval
surgeons say. Many of the most dan
gerous tropical diseases are transmit
ted by the bites of insects. Among
these are malaria. yellow fever, bu-
bonfc plague, hoOkworm. elephantiasis
and tropical ulcer. Fleas and mosqui-
toes are the prime carriers. and they
make their first attack upon the ankles,
thence working their way over the
whole body. The lcggings worn by the
United States marines afford splendid
protection to the ankles against fieas,
mosquitoes and infected dirt.

It was in existence in Italy as far back
as A D. 300, the court of Turin in
that day making especial use of it and
the royal family and mobiles taking

duced In France In the reign of Louis
Kill, and both that monarch and
Louis XIV. occasionally took part in
it's dances. About the year 100 wom-

performed exclusively by men, as was
the case also with plays and operas,
but no woman ballet dancer of any

Gothic Architecture.

The styles called Gothic, springing
from a common source in Romanesque
architecture and developing through
out western Europe on differing lines,
are in general characterized by the
following features, although not all OF
these VIII be found in all examples:
Ribbed yaulting, pointed arches, the
flying arch and pinnacled' buttress,
clustered shafting, traceried windows
In all but the earliest phases, stained
glass, a progressive tendency toward
holiness, ightness of supports and
suppression of wall surfaces, a sys-
tenn Of decoration of which one ele-
ment was the emphasis and adornment
Of structural features and another the
use of sculpture and carving Of human,
animal, vegetable and grotesque forms,
controlled by a definite didacdc pur-
pose and significance, and finally the
use of available materials according to
their nature upon principles in part of
structural logic and in part Of decora-
tive efect-A. d. f. Hamlin in Archi-

National FLAGS.

II the question were asked which
country's national flag had been long
est In use the answer would be either
the dragon banner Of China or the
chrysanthemum flag Of Japan The
former has been used from q very
early period, and the latter Is as old
as the present dynasty in Japan, which
Is the most ancient In the world.
Among European national flags that
Of Denmark, q white St Georges cross
on a red ground, is the most ancient,
having been in use since 1913. No
other flag has existed without change
for anything like the same period as
q national emblem, although there are
royal standards that are older.
The Spanish colors date only from
fIS5, and Great Britain's flag In its
present form was first flown after the
union with Ireland In 1901. The stars
and stripes Of the United States was
first planned and ordered by Washing
ION Of an upholsterer in Philadelphia
and formally adopted on June Il, 1777.

When did kissing the book come
to be recognized as part Of the Eng:
lish oath? Master William Thorpe, a
priest, who was tried for heresy be-
fore the archbishop of Canterbury in
1407, has in an account Of his own
trial related a conversation between
q man of law" and a master OF d.
vinity" on the subject Of oaths- The
man of law spoke of witness merely
laying his hand ON the book, where
upon the master of divinity said, "He
that chargeth him to lay his hand thus
upon the book, touching it and swear
ing by it, and KISSING it, promising in
this form to do this thing, Will say and
witness that he that tOucheth thus a
book and kisseth it hath sworn upon
that book" So the practice is at least
500 years old.
kissing the book" must have been
a familiar practice in Shakespeare's
day, for in 1.-THE Tempest there is
more than one ocular reference to 1t.
"Swear by this bottle how thou earnest
hither," says Stephano to Trinculo.
~Here, kiss the book" offering him his
bottle Of sack. There is also legal
proof that the practice was well
known In the seventeenth century,

Masking the Guns

Against air craft observation one of
the first precautions taken Is TO splash
guns, nmbers and ammunition wagons
with different neutral dnts so that they
win blend with the ground about
them. Any earthworks, pits, etc, that
are erected or dug are strewn with
leaves and branches and the earth dis
tnrbed generally, 50 that from above
nothing unusual shall be spotted by
keen eyed air men.
A battery Of guns Is seldom placed
along the sky line, for there It Is an
easy mark. Generally the guns are
concealed some distance down the In
cline In front OF the sky line, unless
the guns are howatzers, In which case
they can be best served from behind
the ridge. The idea Of placing the
guns In front Of the ridge Is that the
rising ground behind them serves as
an efectual screen, as the guns them
selves are painted to represent earth
and foliage.-London Standard.

SHAVING on One Side.

The shaving on one side only Of the
heads and boards of prisoners Of war
was obviously done to prevent any at
tempt at escape. But there have been
other motives for such half shaving,
which occurs at all sorts of points in
history. Sometimes the act has been
pure insult, as when Hanun, king Of
the children of Ammon, shaved off
half Of the boards Of David's servants.
In these days the victims would have
mended matters by shaving the other
half. But Jewish reverence for the
beard forbade that, and David told the
men to "tarry at Jericho until your
boards be grown" Demosthenes, when
he shut himself up for months In a
subterranean chamber to practice ora
tory, shaved half Of his head to cut
of all temptation to go abroad.-Lon-
don Chronicle.

Latest Notes About This
Pet Hobby of All Women.

This is the season for blouses. They
are needed for a multitude Of reasons.
The one piece frock has not vanished
into the warm summer air because the
separate blouse has come into fashion
again. 1t appears to be necessary to
have both even In the average ward
robe. There is always struggle In the
mind of the woman who is not plenti.
fully endowed with clothes money as
to how she should choose between a
suit and a one piece frock for constant
service, and probably the married man
put it correctly for an women when he
said that his wife brought the subject
up to him semiannually every day for
fortnight, invariably decided In the
end according to her own desires and
was dissatisfied about her choice, no
matter what it was, for the rest Of the
season.
One of the advantages OF blouse buy
ing is that the average woman can get
half dozen to suit her different needs
and moods. This season they are un-
rolled before her like a brilliant, never
ending carpet The design and the col
or constantly change. They have reach
ed degree Of variety and gayety that
has not been touched In several sea-
sons.
Fine colored muslins, solid and strip
ed, are in the forefront Of fashion, and
white and colored organizes, which
have been so extensively used for neck
wear, have been cordially taken up by
the makers of blouses.-
The plain white organdie waists are
embroidered with one or more colors,
sometimes In the simple and ever pleas
ing design Of scallops, again in polka
dots and triangles of brilliant red and
blue, green, black and yellow.
Because polka dot frocks are In fash
ion we will be able to wear separate
blouses Of polka dot fabrics with the
pleased feeling that we are quite In the
middle OF the picture. Taffeta and sat

gree Of warmth, but taffeta is applied
to chiffon and then embroidered in gold
and silver to build up an ornate blouse.

R.ised Decorations on EqqshsIIs.

1t Is easy to work out a design In
relief on an eggshell, whether the con-
tents of the egg have been removed or
not. The first step Is to draw with q
pencil the design or the lettering that
you wish to appear on the egg. Make
only an outline and the leading points
of the design. Then melt a small
quantity of candle wax In a shallow
tin and let it set a little, but while It
Is still soft take it out Of the tin and
spread it over the design on the egg.
If there is any difficulty in getting the
wax to hold touch it here and there

or may be an hour and a half, accord

earrings made of solid brass. Since
her widowhOOd is perpetual she is
obliged to wear them the rest Of her

metal stretches the lobe of the ear, to
which it is attached, in an extraor-

MINERALS IN FOODS.
A Discourse on Ingredients Needed For
Pure, Red Blood.

There are a large number of people
who have some indefinite notion about
iron in foods, thinking it is in amounts
big enough to see with the naked
eye If they but know how. 1t Is not.
Prospective mothers begin to learn
about their mineral needs when the
doctor prescribes lime tablets, which
contain the inorganic mineral, known
to be far less absorbable than when
organic, as in plants. The plants take
the inorganic minerals of the soil and
make them over into live stuff for him.
He cannot seem to get them so well
In any other way.
Not only anaemia, but many other ILL
nesses come because not enough foods
containing minerals are eaten, or If
eaten are made ineffective because the
strong acids taken go after them for
their own use. If we could talk baby
talk to them we might say, 1.-THE acids
will catch you if you don't watch out"
Now, just to get little bit Of a no.
ton about how very slight in guam
t1ty, though so wOndrous in quality,
these vitalizing minerals are, any cook
and any eater should study some re-
liable book on the matter. You will
learn that there is nothing quite so
heavy in lime as turnip tops, which
also means the tops of the kohlrab.
How. much lime? Oh, about one-half
of 1 per cent, but that is a lot COM
pared with what is in the valuable
spinach, which has only 90 per cent.
Sherman calls these minerals lash con-
stituents," which is bit old fashion
ed. Others call them nutrient salts"
and common everyday people say min
eral matter. How great are little things
is what We need to realize ia this con-
nection. They are almost comparable
with radium in this respect.

Birds as Lamps,

The natives Of Trinidad make use Of
the young guacharo in an unusual man
ner. The young are very fat and are
frequently found to weigh more than
the full grown birds. Their fat is used
by the natives to produce an oil which
is a substitute for butter. Also 1t is
frequently the custom of the natives
to draw a wick through the body Of a
young guacharo and use it as a lamp
or candle. Thus the guacharo is some
times called the oil bird.
