Military Uniforms

T OUIS XIV, the depraved French
IL king, really brought on the
French revolution through his ava
rice and cruelty to his people. A
most disorderly man himself, his
greatest contribution to posterity
vas his reintroduction of the mill
tary uniform, the forerunner OF
modern standardized goods.
Although regular uniforms h d
teen worn by Greek and Roman
soldiers, the art was lost during the
Middle ages. Since soldiers fought
in small bands, they could either
recognize each other personally or
wear some identifying badge which
distinguished them from the enemy.
But Louis XIV built up the larg-
est army Europe had ever known
up to that time, huge force OF
10O, 900 men. He gave orders to
his generals, "Drill them to act
as one, discipline them to respond
az one, uniform them to look as
onei"
The generals could do the drilling
and disciplining with out any
trouble, but when it came to the
uniforms they were up against a
new problem. Making 100000 uni
forms that all look exactly alike
is no small problem. The generals
were finally forced to build up a
whole new textile and clothing in
dustry and install the first modern
system of standardized goods and
sizes.
So when you go into department
store to buy a size seven shoe or
a fifteen collar, remember that it
was old Louis XIV and his aides
who first thought up the idea.

So the marriage was postponed
until December "a, 1903. All
legal formalities were carefully
complied with. The marriage
contract was drawn up by Alex
ander Dallas, later secretary of
the treasury and vice-president
of the United States. The Most

After the marriage, Jerome
and his bride went on a honey
moon tour which took them to
Washington, Philadelphia, New
York and Boston where brilliant
entertainments were given in
their honor. But their happiness
in their love was short-lived.
Four months later Jerome had
his first word from Napoleon. It
was an order for him to return
to France forthwith-but without
his bride. Furthermore, the
French consul general in New
York was directed to prohibit
all captains of French vessels
from receiving on board ''the
young person to whom Citizen
Jerome has connected himself.
That was the answer of Napo-
leon to Jerome's confidence that
his brother would approve of the
marriage and to Betsy's conf
dence that her beauty would win
the emperor over when he saw
her. But, despite this evidence
of Napoleon's hostility, the young
couple sailed in March, 1905 in
one of William Patterson's fast
clipper ships for Lisbon, Spain.
There theyfound a French frigate

A FAIRY Prince" Coming.

II airy kIiHCC SOHlhuS'
In the autumn of 1903 Balti-
more society was a-titter with
the news that Jerome Bonaparte,
youngest brother of Napoleon,
was coming to visit his old COM
rade-in-arms of the West Indian
campaigns, Commodore Joshua
Barney of the United States navy.
Jerome did not distinguish
himself in that campaign and
was glad enough to return to
France as a bearer of dis
patches to his brother. After be-
coming involved in sundry es-
capades, he was sent to sea
again, this time as the COM
mander of a ship which cruised
about in the West Indies during
the hostilities between England
and France without, however,
seeing any action. One of his
boon companions was General
Rewbell who had married Har-
riet Pascault, a French girl liv-
ing in Baltimore and from young
Madame Rewbell Jerome heard
of the charms of GLORIOUS Eet-
sy."
Life in Martinique, where he
was stationed, was dull for this
gay young blade who was ir-
resistibly attracted to a pretty
face. Commodore Barney h d
invited him to visit Baltimore.
So to Baltimore he would go and
see his old friend-and also the
charming Mademoiselle Patter-
son-even though it meant the
displeasure of the First Consul
for him to leave his post of duty
in the West Indies.
Jerome went first to New York
and Philadelphia where society
made much of him. But the real
magnet was in Baltimore and
there Betsy Patterson awaited
with impotence the arrival of
this fairy prince" Betsy first
met him at ball given at the
house of Samuel Chase, a signer
of the Declaration of Independ-
ence, and father-in-law of Com
modore Barney. Both of them
were apparently fascinated with
each other from the start.
The Talk of the Town.
Jerome, with the full knowl-
edge that he would incur the dis
pleasure of Napoleon if he mar
ried an American girl instead of
some European princess whom
the First Consul would select,
began an ardent courtship at
once. Whether Betsy's equally
ardent response was dictated by
real love for the handsome young
Frenchman or by her ambition
is uncertain.
William Patterson, foreseeing
Napoleon's refusal to acknowl-
edge the legality of any such
marriage, tried in vain to halt
the courtship. To his protests
Betsy replied that she would
rather be the wife of Jerome
Bonaparte for an hour than that
of any other man for a lifetime -
So he gave his consent to tie
marriage on the condition that
they wait until after Jerome had
reached the age of nineteen.

Invention of Ice Cream Cones

~ FORGE WASHINGTON liked to
" eat ice cream. He had spe-
cially-built freezer in which his
servants made ice cream for him
whenever they could get ice.
But no one ever tasted an ice
cream cone before 1900. The honor
of its invention goes to the girl
friend of Charles E. Menches, a
young ice cream salesman in st.
Louis. Menches was doing his
counting during the st. Louis ex-
position in 1904.
On one occasion he brought his
fiancee a bunch of flowers and an
ice cream sandwich at the same
time. Lacking a vase, the resource
full lady took one of the layers of
the sandwich and rolled it into a
cone to act as vase. She then
rolled the other cone in the same
way, and so was invented the ice
cream cone.
The ice cream sundae is of an
earlier origin. About 1870, the city
council of Ithaca, N. Y, passed
a law prohibiting saloons from sell
ing drinks on Sunday. The law,
however, did nothing to prevent bar
customers from getting thirsty on
Sundays the same as any other day.
The pharmacist in a drug store
across the street from the city's
leading saloon was not slow to
capitalize on this human frailty. He
devised Sunday concoction made
of ice cream to provide relief for
thirsty customers on that day in
place of stronger fare. In almost
no time, his idea had spread to all
the other towns in the country that
also had Sunday closing laws for
saloons.

yXIHAT makes a fire burn? If
Wv you were asked this question,
you might be hard put to give a
reasonable answer. AS matter
of fact, no one in the whole world
could answer it until Laurent La
voisier, the famous French scien-
fist, discovered oxygen in the Eight
eenth century.
Besides giving oxygen its name
and explaining its properties, La
voisier was the first man to show
Why hydrogen and oxygen combined
to form water Because he made
so many fundamental contributions
to the world of science, he is now
generally known as the Father OF
Chemistry.
But Lavoisier was far more than
a famous scientist. Handsome and
witty, he was also prominent
courtier in the Courts of Louis XIV
and XVI. He was friend of Marie
Antoinette and was always In the
thick of royal intrigues and politics.
When the French revolution broke
out, he was in the thick of that.
He witnessed the roaring fall OF
the Bastille. He invented a new
way of making saltpeter, the es-
sential element in gunpowder. F'a-
nous chemist though he was,
Lavoisier was finally thrown into
prison by the fanatical Robespierre,
who said he had no use for any
scientists, especially aristocratic
ones.
Those were the days when Paris
streets were running red with hu-
man blood. Being an aristocrat,
Lavoisier was soon on his way to
the guillotine. He died as he had
lived, laughing and unalraid. A
friend who witnessed the execution
wrote his memorial: at took but

But even at Amsterdam she
found herself thwarted by the
power of Napoleon in the form
of two French warships which
prevented her ship entering the
harbor. All that was left her was
to seek refuge in England, which
she did. So great was the throng
which gathered to see her land
at Dover that William Pitt sent
a regiment of soldiers to keep
the crowd in order and prevent
any disturbance. Soon after she
settled at Camberwell in Surrey,
a son, to whom she gave the
name of Jerome Napoleon Bon
aparte, was born.
Betsy remained in England for
three months, constantly receiv-
ing messages from Jerome pro-
testing his fidelity and affection.
In the meantime Napoleon was
bringing a constant pressure to
bear upon his brother to get him
to repudiate his marriage. The
emperor addressed a letter to
Pope Plus VII requesting him to
declare the marriage void. With
the request he sent costly
golden tiara for the pope.
But Plus could not be bribed
and he returned the tiara to Ma
poleon with the reply that care

authority to grant the emperor's
wish. Napoleon, it is said, never
forgave Plus for this refusal. He
