Pc qibIe Origin of Khaki.

There are many versions of the origin of khaki. but one that is new to me comes from a veteran of the Nun sters who followed Nicholson through the breach at Gelhi.
 During the siege there, he tells me, 1t was noticed that the white drill uni forms of the regiment, then known as the old Dirty Shirts" the first Euro pcan Bengal fusiliCrs of the old com pany's service, proved excellent marks in tue moonlight for the SepOy mutt neers who held the city.
 The men were told, therefore, to darken them by any means they could find Their method was to boil the uni forms in the "dlxies'' or regimental kettles In which tea was made, to- gether with bark stripped from the trees in the neighborhCod. which made a fairly satisfactory brown dye.
 Time does not seem 10 have brought any improvement On the Dirty Shirts" idea, though 1t may have i'm proved on their methods Westminster Gazette.
