Signs of Gentility.
The practice observed among Span- i
ish hidalgos, of allowing the Anger- '
nails to grow into claws was to dem-
onstrate that they had never done any
manual work. The same custom ex-
ists among the Chinese for the same
reasot.
Among the Romans the wearing of
long sleeves, which came down over
the hand, was the fashion in aristo-
cratic circles. This advertised to the
world tat the wearer did not engage
in any labor, and freedom from em-
ployment was the condition of re-
spectability.
English boots and shoes have been
designed more or less for the same
purpose as that of the Chinese, who :
bind their women's feet in proof of
their gentility. As early as the time
of William Rufus "peaked-toed boots
and shoes” excited the wrath and
contempt of the monkish historians.
The shoes called pigacla had their :
points made like a scorpion's tail, and
a courtier named Robert stuffed his
out with tow, and caused them to curl |
round in the form of a ram’s horn, a
fashion which took mightily among
the nobles. It is plain that the pur-
pose of this fashion was to show that
the privileged wearer was not de-

The Thin Red Line.
Robert Gibb’s famous painting, “The
Thin Red Line,” represents an inci-
dent in the battle ob Balaclava. At
this memorable conflict, wctch was
fought on October 25, 1854, a heavy
body of Russian cavalry having driven
the Turks like chaff before a whirl-
wind from their redoubts, dashed on
in the direction of the town of Balac-
lava, but found the Ninety-third High-
landers, 500 strong, under the com-
mand of Sir Colin Campbell, in their
way. Sir Colin rode along the ranks
and said to his men: “Remember,
there is no retreat from here, men;
you must die where you stand.” To
which voices were heard answering
cheeringly, “Aye, aye, Sir Colin, we’ll
do that.” In a moment more the Rus-
,slan squadrons were bearing down
upon the Highlanders, who stood still
to receive them, not in square, but in
the ordinary British battle-line of
“two-deep.” The affair occupied a
very few minutes. At long range a
well-directed fire from the Ninety-third

sians, who, however, swept on, wheel-
