| Soldiers Wore Gorgeous
Uniforms to Bluff Enemy
The British
coat—became
the beginning of the Eighteenth cen­
tury,
In those days uniforms
worn in battle were gorgeous; sol­
diers wore wigs which made them
look tall in order to terrify the
enemy. 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.
