Puke of Wellington hail been refused

cause he presented himself wearing
trousers Instead of the conventional
breaches wbKh the dress regii In tlons
then la vogue demanded.
As a matter of historical fact trou
aers have heeu worn by various races
and by both sexes In all the apes of
which any authentic records exist.
Generally speaking, troupers were re
garded In ancient times as symbolical
bf Inferiority or effeminacy. In the
triumphal processions of the Caesars,
for example, prisoners of war wore
them aa a sign of defeat while the
sturdy legs of Home's victorious legions
were bare hek>w the bottom of the
skirted or kilted coat of mail.
For the last hundred years or there
about trousers have been widely recog
nised as tbe garments of authority, the

GERMAN POSTOFFICES.
A Writer r-**? Hit Mind
About THsir Methods.
Tb? pontotBoee In Germany are pecu
liar institution*, hti P. Harris l>e*ns
In the Wide World Magazine. They
are a farstghted people, the Germans,
and tbey allow for expansion. If
there are any i?o?t offices In the conn
try of lens than three stories. 1 mast
have overlooked them. Krenr floor is
divided Into about four departments,
and every department has about a dot
en office*.
In some of the smaller towns where
buslnesa is not very brisk the staff
consists of one official. You bave to
make an a|tpointmeot with him if you
want to be served. Entering on the
ground floor yon run round and tap
with your money at every pigeonhole
until be answer*. Ton then ask him
for a stamp, whereupon he orders you
to go to Na 1 pigeonhole and wait
there till he comes. You wait i<atient
ty for about flve minute* and then he
pops his bead out of Na 3 and wants
to know if you've gone to sleep. When
you a^ for a flve cent stamp he says.
"Oh. 1 thought it was a penny one yoo
wanted." and instructs you to try at
No. 7. At Na 7 he probably discovers
he has run out of flve cent stamp* and
you have to go to windows Na 3 and
Na 11 and get two two cent ones and
a one cent
By this time you are getting quite
friendly, and ? hen you ask him where
the telegraph office Is be will probably
get out his guidebook and hunt the
place out for yoo. He may even offer
to take you there himself, as he's the
telegraph clerk as well and has got to
get there anyhow in order to attend to
you.
The Germans themselves when tbey
go to buy a stamp make a day of It
nnd take their lunch with them. It is
quite a pretty sight to see the mother
and a group of children sitting on the
stairs, eating their bread and sausage
and wondering whether father will re
member tbcm when be comes back
with the stamp.
A River of Death.
Before the English occupation of In
dia It was estimated that the Gunsres
carried to the sea every year l.OQQAOO
dead bodies It was then considered
by the Hindus that the happiest death
was one found In its waves, and all
pious Hindus who could do so were
carried to Its banks and placed In Its
waters to die. The decaying carcasses
along its banks were probably respon
sible in no small degree for the pestl
lences which formerly desolated the
peninsula
Mexican Cacti.
Mexico has a cactus which grows
toothpicks; another, ribbed and thick
ly set with toothpick spines, which fur
nishes the natives with combs. There ?
is another cactus the long curved spines
of which resemble fish hooka There Is
another which is an almost perfect Imi
tation of the sea urchin. Still another
resembles a porcupine. There la anoth
er covered with long red hair which
Is nicknamed the "red headed cactus."
Men Ar? So Stupid.
