An inventive genius who suffered from attacks by stray dogs when riding his wheel, set his wits to work to devise something which would be an eflica ciotis, and yet comparatively harmless, means of defense. As a result he Ims brought out and patented a pocket pistol which will slioct ammonia, water or other liquid. The most vic 'ons dog cannot withstand a few drops of ammonia in his mouth or eyes, and yet there is no danger of actually in juring a valuable animal which might, playfully annoy a rider. The weapon has proved so much of a success as a means of defense as well as fun-mak ing, Mint the lucky inventor is realizing much money from his device. Mi'iia-y Justice. , Old Judge Dole, an early settler of Pike, In the county of Wyoming, New York, was a military man in his early days, having, to quote his own words, "tit the Britishers" in the war of 1812. And he carried ids habits of military dlscipliuc into the management of his farm. One hot summer day his hired men, five or six in number, decided to take a nap after their luncheon of doughnuts and pie. instead of setting to work hjcuin at havmaking. Tliey selected one of their -number to net as sentinel ami keep watch for the old judge, and t lie rest of them stretched themselves at full length in the shade of a big tree. Unfortunately, or fortunately, the sentinel also yielded to the desire for slumber, and at the end of ten minutes was last asleep at ills post. Just five minutes later the judge ap pealed, to see how the work was go ing on, and he saw at once the state ol affairs; From tlie sentinel's posi tion the judge knew what duty the man had been expected to perform, am without waiting for auy cxplanat'on. lie proceeded to administer u sound drubbing with his stiek. When he had sufficiently admonished the sentinel, the old judge let him go saying, "There, I guess that'll learn you not to sleep on your post!" And without taking the least notice of the other sleepers, the disciplinarian marched off. perfectly satisfied. Economy In Housekeeping. In good housekeplng, as in nature nothing need in? wasted.

Brown Duck Suit* Provided For the Men— The Trousers Reach Only to the Knee —Leggings Worn to Afford Protec tion From Tropical Insects. Amouq the specifications for the Trarm weather army clothes upon which bids have been invited by the Quartermaster-General's office in New York City, the prominent and pictur esque item is that of trousers reaching only to the knee, or but a trifle below, says the Sun. As the number of suits to be contracted for is 40,000 this or der means a general revival of Knick erbockers in the American military uui forin. The results will differ from anything seen since the days of the Continental army. In practical significance the new knickerbockers will be the first out ward symbol of the transformation that has taken place in the army itself. Instead of a handful of scouts and frontier police there is now a military force equipped and eager for service In any part of the globe. It came in to existence with the first sudden ex pausion of the great republic of n hemisphe e into an imperial power of world-wide influence. In future it may be decreased in numbers, but the varied character of its equipment and service will remain as long as the Stars and Stripes are upheld in Ma nila Bay. The uniform that has been ordered for use by the regular army iu warm or tropical regions is a suit of brown canvas, plain in cut and peculiar chiefly for its knickerbockers. The plain jacket is distinguished for cav alry, artillery and infantry by the uso of the respective colors, yellow, red and buff, as facing for the pocket flaps aud shoulder flaps. Patterned after the lighting costume of Great Britain's soldiers in Africa and the East, the new American uni form preserves a Yankee individuality by retaining the soft felt campaign hat. The white helmet familiar in pictures of military forces on the up per Nile has not beeu adopted. Of the canvas knickerbockers a fair idea is to be obtained from auy of the Lon don illustrated weeklies that picture General Sir Herbert Kitchener's Egyp tian campaign. Similar conditions have evolved similar costumes for an American army in Cuba. "More like bicycle trousers than like the regulation long trousers," runs the official description. A sam ple suit is shown at the Army build ing. Canvas is in Itself somewhat of a novelty for the army, it having beeu more generally used forjnaval uniforms. United States troops iu Texas, how ever, as well as other parts of tho Southern frontier, have long been ac customed to a summer uniform of brown duck. The trousers there used were long, while the tops of the leg gings were correspondingly low. A change to knickerbockers will involve leggins long enough to cover the en tire lower leg wherever high boots are not used. "The burden and heat of a tropical day," remarked a veterau who has served with the army in Texas, "is exactly what we seek to overcome by a material as light and cool as the brown canvas of army wear. "Insect pests of the tropics consti tute, however, a far more important factor in determining the style of uni form. The cut of the trousers is the main thing. You require protection from such pests as red bugs, ticks and like insects of warm climates that at tack you wherever you walk. "There are times in Texas when you cannot put your foot down upon the grass, but that your clothing becomes infested with minute red bugs. The same is true in Cuba. Swamps and low-lauds in thct island abound with the tiny mosquitcs called jejenes, and with a variety of scorpion called ala cran. "Protection from these pests is to be secured only by having trousers tight over the ankle and calf. Wheth er this is the custom of the Spaniards in Cuba I do not now recall. Their uniform, except on gala occasions, is of canvas, however. The insurgents wear whatever uniform they can get. "A fine canvas suit that I do happen to know about was that used by Lieu tenant A. S. Rowan, of the Nineteenth Infantry, who lauded in Cuba and made the trip to the insurgent head quarters. The suit was made in Ja maica. Brown duck was tho mater ial, and, as usual, the trousers wore the special feature. '•Lieutenant Rowan's cluck troll ers were long and were not unlike riding breeches. Fitting loosely over hip and thigh, they narrowed at the knee, buttoning snugly from there to the aukle and continuing in a strap that bound them like gaiters over the instep of the foot. The protection against insect attack was thus as com plete as it could be made. "The knickerbockers ordered for our regular army will do precisely similar service if leggings are used with them, and such will doubtless be the case. Canvas or duck material will give the necessary freedom from heaviness and warmth, while the leg protection will decrease the annoyance due to attuck by the insects to which loose clothing gives easy lodgment. "This is the immediate significance of the revival of kuickerbockers. The broader fact is that we are now equip ping our army upon a plan that pro vides for all climates and all condi tions. The visible change is symbolic of the new era upon which our nation has entered." - . > Spain.'- /ait Victory.

His Name Is Inseparably Liukeil With the Glorious Fourth. Thomas Jefferson, as near as any one man, may be called the patrou saint of the Fourth of July because he wrote the instrument whose adoption signalizes that holiday, and his name '.s further associated with the date because on this day in 182G he died. The briefest summary of the events in bis life is as follows: ''Thomas Jefferson was born at Shad well, Albemarle Couuty, Va., April 13, 1743. On his tomb at Monticello is, 'Born April 2d, 1743, O. S.' He died at Monticello, near Charlottesville, Va., at 1 o'clock p. m., July 4,1826, at more than eighty-three years of age. "Before 17C6, in Virginia, he began to agitate against tbe misrule of King George, and joined Patrick Henry, George Wythe and others in deter mined opposition to tyranny. "He advocated common schools and the abolishment of slavery. He caused the passage of a law prohibiting the importation of slaves into Virginia. "With George Wythe and.James Mad ison in the Virginia Legislature after September, 1776, he spent three years in revising and adaptiug the laws of Virginia to the new conditions under liberty. "He drew and caused to be enacted the statute for religious liberty iu Vir giuia—tbe first one ever enacted by Legislature, and the first by any gov ernment. THE PATRIOTIC SUMMER GIRL OF '9B. "He suggested tlie dollar as the unit of value. "He was largely responsible for the location of the capital at Washington. "In Congress in 1783-1781, he voted to ratify the treaty of peace with Great Britain—settling the war his Declara tion of Independence had helped to make, and presented to Congress the Virginia deed of cession of her lauds northwest of the River Ohio to the United States for public domain. "March 1, 1781, in Congress, he re ported from a committee and all in his handwriting a plau for the temporary THOMAS JEFFERSON, AGED FIFTY-EIGHT. government of the Northwestern Ter ritory, with a clause prohibiting slavery within. This plan became the basis, and was, in fact, embraced in the ordinance of July 13,1787, for the Gov ernment of the Territory of the United States northwest of the River Ohio. "After he retired from public life, iu 18)9, he founded the University of Virginia, at Charlottesville, Va., was Its rector and devoted his remaining years to its development. "In 1821 Mr. Jefferson wrote: 'I have sometimes asked myself whether my country is the better for my hav ing lived at all. Ido not know that it is. I have been the instrument of doing the following things, but they would have been done by other?, Home of them, perhaps, a little better.' Then follows his account of what he did. Abridged they are: J9^ll THE HOUSE IN WHICH THOMAS JEFFER SON WROTE THE DECLARATION OF IN DEPENDENCE. "He improved the navigation of the Bivanna Biver. "He wrote the Declaration of Inde pendence. "He disestablished the Established Church in Virginia and secured the freedom of religion. "He was the father of the act put ting an end to entails, of the act pro hibiting tbe importation of slaves, ol the act concerning citizens, and estab lishing the natural right of man to ex patriate himself at will, of the act changing the course of descents and giving the inheritance to all children equally, and of the act for apportioning crimes and punishments. He intro duced the olive tree into South Caro lina from France in 1789-1700, and brought upland rice into South Caro lina from Africa in 1700. He makes no mention of his service in Congress or his acts while President and does not mention having founded the Uni versity of Virginia. He was a modest man in respect to his public acts. While President lie purchased the pro vince of Louisana from France in 1803. "He sent Lewis and Clark and Pike to explore the Western country. He tried to enforce national rights by em bargo instead of by war. He reduced the public debt, aided trade and com merce and provided a system of sea coast and tidewater defenses." The house in which the Declaration of Independence was written was No. 230 High street, afterwards No. 700 Market street, and located on the southwest corner of Seventh and Mar ket streets, Philadelphia.
