George Washington clever ly took advantage of this principle of terror when he became commander of the American forces at Cam bridge,. recalls a writer in the Bos ton Globe. The Colonials had no drill, but they had a reputation for being much better shots than the best sol diers in Europe. It was difficult to obtain cloth for uniforms. General Washington recommended a garb composed of homespun, with coats cut like hunting shirts and long trousers. “It is a dress,” he said, “justly supposed to carry no small terror to an enemy who think every such person a complete marksman.” The hunting shirts were usually white and fringed, but some regi ments wore yellow, green or blue. Gradually officers and some of the enlisted men got into the long-tailed coats with vests and trousers of white or buff—a light yellow—and facings according to states. In New England these were white; in New York and New Jersey, buff; in Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland and Virginia, red; and in the Caro- linas and Georgia, blue. All wore the “cocked” or three-cornered hat of the time. At this time wigs for soldiers had gone out of fashion everywhere, but oven in the Ameri can army enlisted men were ra tioned flour with which to powder their hair. Tight breeches went out of fashion in the French Revolution and the long trousers came in. Officers tucked them in boots. Shortly after the turn of the century, American infantry wore plugged hats, topped with a feather, but this did not last long. Asia First Home of Most of Domesticated Animals Man has domesticated animals since his earliest days—before he learned to write, for among his ear liest records are found drawings and other representations of some of the animals he had taken into his camps and dwelling places. The continent of Asia seems to have been the place of origin of three-fourths of our domestic ani mals. Since the first home of man himself is usually also placed there this is not surprising. It seems probable that all of these animals were first held captive by the early peoples for their food sup ply and that the other uses for them —for drawing loads, for riding, for giving protection, etc.—occurred to their captors afterward. It is interesting to note that no new domestic animals have been de veloped in several thousand years, as far as records show, asserts a writer in the Cleveland Plain Deal er. The llama, the alpaca and the turkey have become known to Euro pean peoples within that time, but they had long been in use among the inhabitants of the new world. Cats, camels, most domestic cat tle, horses, goats, sheep and most poultry are apparently Asiatic in origin. Dogs are perhaps Asiatic in origin, too, although this is less cer tain. The ass may have come from northern Africa, the reindeer from northern Europe.
