OLD REGIMENT IS
 THE BLACK WATCH
(New Orleans Picuvune.l ]

tNeW OTlSduS IiCUy ullt.)
 The Black Watch, so-called from the dark color of it's tartan, is the pop ular name for the famous Highland regiments. Lord Wolseley once said that when ever he. saw the red "hackle" (plume or tasseD of the Black Watch as a unit in any of his expeditionary forces he felt sure that his job was as good as done. There are four other Highland or kilted regiments, and it would be hard to say which tartan is most in favor for skirts among the French girls who sell coffee, win blanc, post cards and expensive knick-knacks in the towns near the battle zones. The most curious use to which l have ever heard of tartan being put was in the making of huge table cloth of the Cameron colors (the bully beef tartan" as the French call it) for the adornment of the mess of a certain divisional headquarters. It was presented by the owner of chauteau as a compliment to tho nationality of his guests.
 Many people suppose that all Scot tish regiments are kilted, whereas tkis is the case only with the Highland regiments of which there are five, the Black Watch, the Camerons, the Sea forths. the Gordons and the Argyll and Sutherland. The others, includ- ing the Royal Scots, which is the oldest regiment in the British army, and probably in all Europe, wear the "thews" There is sometimes a con- fusion of thought about the Gamer onians" and the kilted "Camerons, but there is no connection at all. The former were founded by Richard Cameron as a Covenanting regiment.

JAPAN LIMITS GIVING
(NeW. East. Tnkiol


 An inroad has been made at last on the onerous system of present giving which has grown up in Japan. It seems that the military authorities, with their customary alertness, have noticed what a burden it is on soldiers to have to take presents home to their friends. Some statistician has recokned that such presents reach value in the year of 100000 yen (s100,000). a re- markable figure considering the finan- cial resources of the conscript. The army is meeting the situation by issu- ing to the troops illustrated cards for presentation to their friends and rela- | tives.
