But Smokers Will Wonder How That
Tobaceoless Pipe Must Taste
to Him.
M. Maeterlinck is among those who
have freed themselves from the bond-
age of tobacco by means of a curious
artifice. According to his biographer,
M. Gerard Harry, "without the help
of tobacco he seemed incapable of re
ceiving inspiration or crystallizing it
in words. If he has not overcome the
need, he has outflanked it Smoking,
he noticed, had lost its virtue as a
stimulant, and instead of rousing the
brain to activity, as at first, had come
to disturb its functions; so now, in
lieu of ordinary tobacco, he fills his
bowl with a denicotinized preparation,
tasteless indeed, bat harmless. His
pipe is still always alight when the
pen is busy, but it is hardly more now
than a mere subterfuge intended to
cheat and so satisfy an irresistible
mechanical craving." London Chron

on the Battlefield. .
The soldier's dress has been simpli
fied to bare necessities. It was other
wise in the old times. The military
regulations of the eighteenth and the,
greater part of the nineteenth centu
ries furnish one long record, of altera
tions of costume, "of solemn Injunc
tions as to laces, loops, frogs, buttons,'
facings, epaulets, "wings," and what

The dressing of the soldier's hair
was a special object of concern. Un
til the end f the eighteenth century
the hair was "an-elaborate arrange
ment of grease .and powder.' Three
shillings per man was the allowance
in 1794 for these two toilet adjuncts.
and the cost to the country four shil
lings four pence for pipe-clay and
whiting with which to furbish up bla

but it was still the regulation tor

mest regiments In the army, was sta
tioned at Weymouth in 1797 an order
was issued directing that the hair was
to be dressed "with one curl on each
side; the toupee turned and not too
long; the club to be tied high and to.
be more broad at the top than at the
bottom; the rosette to be all ribband
nnd not more than eight inches in di
ameter, the ribband and rosette to be
perfectly black and put on after pow
dering." The Grenadlera and light Infantry
officers were to have their hair dressed
"the same as the men, excepting their
side locks, which may come down so
as to cover the open part of the ear,
but never lower, and must be frizzed
so as not to blow about" Queues were
worn until 1808.
The soldier's hat has been the sub
ject of continual experiment and
change, from the picturesque hat of
1686, with its broad brim turned up
on one side and ornamented with'
whits ribbon, to the mean looking
Broderick cap. In 1751 the three-
cornered cocked hat was in favor;
then came the 'mposlng miter can.:
converting the wearer Into a sort
of miniature pope; and this was fol
lowed by a bearskin of a similar
shape. In 1778 light infantry wore
leather caps almost as small as skull
caps, with a large round peak. The
officer's hat of 1798 was a most elabo
rate and expensive affair, ornamented
with the finest black ostrich, feathers,
with a standup feather of red and
black.
The Bhako, the most hideous bat
ever contrived, commenced Its long
reign m law, when It supplanted the
cocked hat Originally it was of
lacquered felt with a peak, a lane
brass p'ate in front and a red and
black tuft on the crown rising from a
small black cockade; and after many
variations it disappeared In 18711
