Queer Fashions Of Other Days.

Writing Of the period preceding and
following the American Revolutionary
war, Watson, in his quaint Annals,
has much to say concerning the fash
ions and apparel Of that time. BE par
tieularly deplores the fact that the
fashions change so rapidly, and, as an
instance of this, he writes: "In the
year 1917, bought In the East Indies
a secondhand vest sold by its owner
because it was out Of fashion; have
It yet. and 1t is nearly as good as new,
although IT has been In and out OF
fashion five tines respectively: since ]

The delegation was visiting the
zoo, where specimens of the wild
beasts which were sent to former
President Roosevelt from Abyssinia
by Emperor Menelik II are quartered.
They had paused by the cage of the
anaconda. 1t was asleep. One of the
party expressed a desire to see the
snake move and the guide prodded it
with a stick, but it dozed on. When
further proddings failed to disturb it
Duke NadO thrust his hand into the
cage and, taking the reptile by the
throat, shook it until it quivered and
squirmed into wakefulness. Then he
quietly tossed it to the far end of
the cage.
His act gave the party a thrill but

Western States, as compared
with previous years, the United
States department of agricul-

which will be obtained from the

Mexico and Colorado. Informa-
ton for reports is now being

The GLORY OF THE DEAD.

Columbia drew her battle sword.
For liberty and right;
Across three thousand miles of sea,
She bore II to the fight.
The shining stars upon her flag
Brought hope like dawnins suns:
And tyrans' thrones were shaken
In the tempest OF her guns
Then Freedom said. Arise, ye dead:
America is here"
And dying Belgium raised her head
And cast away her fear.
"Debout lest morts!' The wounded
French
Rose In ranks, and saw
The Great Republics starry flag.
Her countless hosts OF war.
Not In q war of conquest.
Her children's blood is shed.
She shall not stain. for gold or grain.
The Glory of her Dead
Not for an empires wide domain.
Or vietor's crown OF bravery
Her spoil shall be the shattered chains
or nations freed from slavery.
