'o Longer Necessary for Them to
Be Worn.
Sailors wear trousers that are
oluminously baggy around the an-
les solely because they are' the
most eonservautive of men. Such
mousers are no longer of more ser -
ice than ordinary trousers would
e, but there was a time when they
were the ideal garment for sailors'
use.
They had their origin in the du-
ties 'that men on sailing vessels used
to have to.perfo•rm. These neces-
sitated or made advisable the roll-
ing of the trouser above the knee,
and it was. far easier and more com-
fortable to roll up abaggy trouser
leg than it would have been to roll
-up atight one. One thing sailors
used often to have to do was b to
wade ashore through the water. For
this, of course, they rolled up their
rousers. Again, they used to• .be
kept busy, holy -stoning decks... For
this they had to get down on hands
and knees. As the decks were wet
it was necessary to roll the trousers
to above the knees in order to keep
them dry.
But there is no longer any such
n eed.
Hints for the Home.
Soap should not be rubbed on
black stockings. They should be im-
mersed in , suds and rubbed till
clean.
When the feet ache through walk-
ing in the heat,, rub them with a
mixture of lemonjuice and alcohol
thoroughly blended.,
A tablespoonful of vinegar should
be added to the water used for
washing as this keeps stockings a
good color.
How many men are bothered with

ed several times. A complete cure
may be effected by merely rubbing
the edge with a piece of ordinary
paraffin wax. Thus the, collars 'do
not soil so readily, and the material

Tea and .0
Many people exist in & more or
less hazy condition and it often
take's years before they realize that
tea and coffee are often the cause.
of the cloudiness, and that there i
a simple way to let the light break
in.
A worthy farmer had such an ex-
perience and tells about it in alet-
ter. He says:
"For about forty years I have
had indigestion and stomach trou-
ble in various forms. During the
last 25 years I would not more than
get over one spell of bilious colic
until another would be upon me.
"The best doctor's I could get
and all the medicines I could buy
only gave me temporary relief.
"Change of climate was tried
without results. I could not sleep
nights, had rheumatism and my
heart would palpitate at . times so
that it seemed it would jump out of
my body.
"I came to the conclusion `that
there was no relief for me and that
I was.about wound up, when I saw
a Postum advertisement. I had• al-
ways been a coffee drinker, and' got
an idea from the ad. that maybe
coffee was the cause of my trou-
ble." Tea is just as harmful, be-
cause.it contains caffeine, the same
drug found in coffee.

the development of progress and civiliza-
tion. Egypt is thus certainly moving up-
ward, and more than one trouble which
some years ago looked menacing seems
susceptible to -day of a healthy solution.
It is to be hoped that the changes now an-
nounced will prove a real milestone in
the people's march towards a fuller and
freer expression of their natural genius.
It is marvellous to think that when Lord
Kitchener went to Egypt his appointment
was considered an answer to the Young
Egyptian party's querulous cry, "Egypt
for the Egyptians," and lei—here by the
grace of a stern maintenance of order
and a strict justice is already emerging

A Grim Old Warrior,
strong enough for himself, but wor-
ried about the succession of his
heir, a puny, weak boy. There
were pretenders to the throne who
were waiting for the old Sultan to
dice to place force behind their
claims.
MacLean proposed himself to Mu-
lai Hassan as a commander and
military instructor for the imperial
bodyguard who should be equipped
with modern weapons. His propo-
sal was accepted and MacLean soon
knocked his thousand fighting men
into good ,shape.
MacLean devoted himself for the
next few years in putting down
brigands and preserving order.
Then the Sultan died, and there
was an insurection when the weak
son, Mulai Abdel -Aziz, was put cm
the throne. MacLean put this down
sharply, as he did several subse-
quent
ub se
qu•ent uprisings.
Meanwhile Raisuli and his ban-
dits had been ravaging the north-
ern section of Morocco, and in. 1907
MacLean attempted to stop - hi'a.
Raisuli had become world famous
in 1904, when he captured Ion Per-
dicaris, a wealthy American, and
held him for ransom. Morocco,
prodded by the United States, fin-
ally raised $55,000 to free Pericaris.
Raisuli captured other foreigners
and held them, and •MaeLeao sent
word to him that he ' would meet
him in the desert alone.
lliaeLean Went Alone,
but Raisuli took some of his men
and made MacLean a prisoner.
The bandit demanded $200,000 for
MacLean's freedom. He dropped
this price several times, but no one
would pay it, .and after MacLean
had been held prisoner for seven
months he was turned free.
It was not long after this that
MacLean returned to England and
took a country home in Norfolk.
MacLean's first wife was Miss Cath-
erine Coe. He married her in 1882,
and her social position was such
that none of the European women
at either Gibraltar or Tangier
would consent to any social inter-
course with her, in spite of her hus-
band's influence and power. Sir
Harry continued to live with her
until 1905, when matters got so bad
that he sued fora divorce.
DISTRESS IN GERMANY.
Unemployed Army 'Larger Than in
Twenty -Five Years.
The killing of a workman by his
landlord in a quarrel during the
tenant's forcible ejection for not
having paid his rent, has called at-
tention to the unprecedented prev-
alence of unemployment in Ger-
many in general and Berlin in par-
ticular. It was generally conceded
that Germany is confronted with
the serious problem of sheltering
and feeding the largest army of un-
employed in the last twenty-five
years. The Government, State,
municipal and communal authori-
ties are looking to the winter with
the 'greatest dread. Workmen are
usually able in the summer time to
prepare to some extent for the idle
days of the winter, but this summer
many thousands of them were un-
able to get a day's employment.
The political unrest at the begin-
ning of the Balkan war, together
with the financial stringency,
brought a crisis in the industrial
`world that affected almost every
branch of business. All employers
began to retrench, dropping as
many employes as possible. There
has been hardly a stroke of work in
the 'building trades of Berlin, where
usually many thousands are em-
ployed. The department stores and
shops have discharged from 25 to
40 per cent. of their employes.
Although the summer is noover
the treasuries of charitable and la-
bor organizations which are usually
able to. accumulate some funds duan
ing that season, have been so drawn
upon that they are practically emp-
ty. Berlin alone has been spending
$200,000 a month throughout the
summer for the relief of the poor,
and bread lines are already appear-
ing in front of the meat markets
and bakeries.
