The janitor was not frightened, and he soon crushed the reptile's head. It was a common water snake, not poisonous, but a de-cidedly unpleasant thing to come across in water used for drinking purposes. New York Tribune. A Snake tu the Water Pipe. An incident happened in The Tribune building which may be an effectual warning against drinking water from open faucets or from any vessel in the dark. Sirs. Finn, one of the women who clean the offices, was drawing water from s faucet at a sink on the seventh floor when she was startled by the sudden ap-pearance of an extremely lively snake about two feet long. Mrs. Finn wasn't looking for snake or thinking about them just then, tod when this one emerged from the faucet she dropped her mop and pail and fled screaming through the corridors and down the stairs. The janitor finally caught her and ob-tained a somewhat incoherent explana-tion. Seizing a stout stick, tho janitor army in its struggles with the well clad enemy. The dress of the period was certainly not calculated to aid action. It is almost impossible to imagine any-thing that could make a fighting man more ineffective than the heavy hats, the full, long skirted coats, the skin tight breeches and the leather stocks with which custom clothed the British soldier. Most of the muscles of the body were cased in, and were directed to pre-serving the rod like stiffness which was prescribed by the drill master. It is easy to understand how, other things being equal, men whose clothes per-mitted them to be active and agile could easily overcome the buckram men, who had to shoot over leather stocks. Har-per's Weekly. DRESS WITH A HISTORY. What th8 Soldiers Wore in the Old Colon-ial Days Dress Inherited from England. HOWPAET OF TJNIFOBMS SURVIVE. The Origin of the Blue and Buff and What the Biflemen Were Present Day Uniforms. In the colonial days the militia wore the dress that they had inherited from England. Three, at least, of those cos-tumes have survived to the present day. One is that worn by the City Troop, of Philadelphia. Modifications, it is true, have been made in the hat from time to time, but they have been in detail of ( form, and not at all in character. The uniform was and is one of the handsom- - est that was ever worn by a soldier. There is a company in Hartford which still wears scarlet coats and the hat of ' the last century, which call to mind the British Grenadiers and the soldiers of Frederick the Great. : In Richmond, Va., there is a company that wears an , abominable hat, invented in the time of the Stuarts, and possessing only the merit of being historical. ifr IN .REVOLUTIONARY TIMES. ; 'in the war of the Revolution uni-forms for the troops were out of the question. It was simply impossible to procure he cloth from which to make them, or the money to pay for them. The difficulties in the way of Washing-- . ton and the Continental congress in this respect have already been fully explained. As for Washington, he adopted a simple uniform of blue and buff for general off-icers, which may have been suggested, as has been intimated by a high authority, by the Whigs and the Scotch Covenant-ers, but which were more likely inspired by the uniform of the Blues, in which Lord Fairfax, Washington's friend, was an officer. It was a plain, pleasing uniform, not brilliant, but eminently fitting to the wearer and the cause of which he was a leader. It was late in the war when an enlisted man'3 uniform was buff and blue, and then only on paper. The only clothes that were obtainable were the very best for actual service. As early as the French and Indian war Washing-ton, as the commanding officer of the Virginia militia, urged Governor Din-widdle to provide the troops with the simple and useful dress of the hunter, and afterward, in the Revolution, he urged that as many as could should procure this comfortable dress, which, as it was the costume of the riflemen, struck ter-ror to the heart of the enemy. The riflemen of the last century wore loose fitting tunics or jackets made of homespun. While the rest of mankind wore breeches they wore trousers. They were, indeed, the first to introduce that useful garment, but the trousers did not closely resemble those of our own time. Instead of being tight above the knee, they gave free play of the muscles of the leg, and were gathered close at the ankle by buttons, so that they were not like the awkward flapping, catch all impediments of today. These clothes were ornamented with urbe-low- s or ravelings of the materials of which they were made, a fashion that has been always popular with frontier Americans. THE RIFLEMEN'S DRESS. The American riflemen wore the dress that was in its time the best possible , service uniform. It was an ample pro-tection from the weather, for it might be of cotton in summer and of wool in winter. It was not burdensome. It permitted the unobstructed use of all the wearer's powers. It did not distract him by petty annoyances. The shoes were closed and guarded by the buttoned bottoms of the trousers, so that during a long march dust and gravel did not in-trude to the wounding of the feet and the laming of the men. The hat was a soft wide brimmed felt, not pressing too much on the head and shading the eyea The accouterment of the rifleman con-sisted of what was useful to him. Of all the soldiers of his time he alone wore a body belt Into this belt he stuck a hunting knife, with which he cnt his fuel, his food, or his pathway through the forests.' His weapon was better than that issued to the troops opposed to him, and the British soldier with his Brown Bess feared the Yankee rifle. Finally his cartridge box and canteen were car-ried from his shoulders. This was a virtue of the period, however, for a hun-dred years ago no soldiers carried weight on their waists. . It is probable that the absence of nni-- " form greatly assisted the American .. . :' " - --- '' '. vv ' - - ... I Pen Made Money. Regularly every six months the treas-- j tiry department receives either a twenty ; or fifty dollar bill which, from all ap-pearances, instead of being made from a plate, is executed entirely with a pen. The work is of a very high order, and several times these bills have defied de-tection and passed on their tour of cir- - culation unhindered. The counterfeiter seems to be a genius who yearns for no-toriety, as he could not make his living by his penmanship. The culprit has not yet been captured, although efforts haye been made to find him, and it is believed that he has had the pleasure of viewing his handiwork in a little frame which hangs on the walls of the treasury build-- I ing. Washington Letter. Swimming Device. A Spaniard has patented an invention relating to the manufacture of gloves, having webs between the fingers, like those on the feet of water fowl, so that on spreading out the fingers during the propelling stroke in swimming a com-paratively large surface will be present-ed to the water, and consequently the propelling action will be greatly in-creased. Apparatus heretofore devised as aids to swimming have been in most cases of a cumbrous, heavy- - character, fatiguing to use and subject to become defective. The inventor claims that his apparatus is exceedingly simple, besides being portable and reliable and easy to use, affording a firm and sure hold on the water, and enabling the swimmer not only to keep himself above the wa-ter, but also to perform rapid evolutions with facility. Another method of facilitating swim-ming is reported from England in the shape of an invention of a swimming boot. The boot consists of canvas tops and wooden soles, attached to which are two blades of mahogany (some ale made of steel), which close with the forward motion of the legs and open with the backward strokes. The sur-face measurement of the two blades oil each shoe is about 144 square inches, while the total weight of a single com-plete shoe is about thiry-on- e pounds, it being loaded with lead to prevent too much buoyancy. A public competition of swimmers provided with this device and those without it is said to have re-sulted much in favor of the former. Chicago Tribune. All Pari Astonished. I A few choice spirits in the Parisian fashionable world are wearing flannels, with! straw hat end chamois leather shoes, in town thU summer, just as they would at the seaside. The daring inno-vator who conceived this brilliant idea showed himself for the first time in this guise in the Jardin de Paris two weeks since, and was much complimented by his friends, who immediately made up their small minds to follow his leacL What fun for the street boysl The fin de siecles shame the women with their love for fine clothes. Colored coats have quite taken the place of black for balls and parties with the younger members of the community. The latest fashion in coats is olive green, with crimson fac-ings. But not content with getting them-selves np like gaudy parrota or perform-ing monkeys, they must do the clown also. Their coats are of one color and lined with another, and so made that they can be turned inside out. In the middle of the evening, when the girls may possibly be tired (they think) of ad-- ' curing their faces or their green get-u-they disappear, turn their coats, and re-appear in vieux rose or "Eiffel" red a transformation which earns them the applause of their own clan, and a fresh batch of admiration from their partners poor dears who are so simple that they do not notice how much their own toilets lose by not having the usual black background. Table. Locust Eaallr Digested. The people of Zanzibar should stand high for 'the comprehensive character of their cuisine. Among other delicacies are small monkey and fruit eating bats. Locusts are relished by the Bedouin of Mesopotamia and some other eastern tribes. They are placed on strings and eaten on journey with bitter and un-leavened bread. The Hebrews, w'" were prohibited eating many kinds food which our larger experience teaches us are palatable and wholesome, a well as some that we do not venture to touch, were permitted to have their fill of lo-custs. The locust is an article of diet to thl day, but only of the very poor; it i thrown into boiling water and eav with salt. To live on locusts and wild honey conveys a more accurate picture of extreme poverty and frugality to traveler in the east than to any one else. Locusts, however, are not always cooked, sometimes they are eaten fresh. They are said to have a strong vegetable taste, the flavor largely depending, as might be expected, on the plants on which they have been feeding. Dr. Living-stone, who showed his common sense by not being fastidious, considered them palatable when roasted. Scottish Re view. t The Bobber' Dog Wa Tagged. Chief of Police Speers received a letter from the chief of police at Kokomo, Ind., stating that a daring burglary had re-cently been committed in that town. The robbers who did the work, the letter stated, had a dog with them, and there was also a dog'on the premises of the man whose house was burglarized. The two dogs got to fighting, and the robbers dog was killed and its owners left its carcase in the yard where it felL Around the dead animal's neck was a collar; and fastened to it was a Kansas City dog tag that showed that it had been issued in 1889. Chief Speers turned the letter and the number of the dog tag over to the city clerk, who by looking over the records for 1889 found the name of the man to whom the tag had been issued. His residence was given as East Seventeenth street. When tho city clerk looked in the directory to see if the man still resided on East Seventeenth street he found opposite the name in brackets the words, "Removed to Kokomo, Ind." The au-thorities at Kokomo have been notified. Kansas City Times. A Democrntlo Dak. The late Duke of Manchester, when on his first visit to Australia, tn 1879, was entertained by the colonists in a princely fashion. In Queensland the weather was intensely hot, aad the duke left his party and rode ahead In his shirt peeves (with his coat strapped before him) and wearing a soft felt hat. On bis arrival at the bush public house he found a crowd awaiting him. One bushman, stepping np to him, said: "Halloa, have you seen the duke? Will he soon be hereT The peer replied: ' "1 am the Duke of Manchester." The bushman surveyed his visitor, walked around the horse, and after a critical inspection said before the crowd: "You're no blooming duket" Tab-leau. London Tit Bits. A curious phenomenon is reported by the United States consul at Maracaibo, in Venzuela. Near the Rio de Orro, at the base of the Sierra of the Colombian frontier, there is a horizontal cavern, which from time to time eject hug globule of bitumen, that explode like bombshells with considerable noise, and the pitch, forming a black glacier, run into a kind of pool or lake near the river bank. Swung a scythe for Eighty tear. Horace Skinner, who is nearly DO yean old. mowed two ton of hay recently with a scythe. He afterward spent week at Hyannia, and is now feeling fresh and vigorous. Mr. Skinner ha mowed more or less every season for over eighty years. Mansfield (Mass.) New. |
