The Renaon They Are lintrixy and Wide From the Kneea Down. A sailor's trousers often give rise to a great deal of ridicule by reason of their bugginess and wideness from the knees down. .<0 one troubles to think that they may have been made in that way for some special purpose or other. Jack tars naturally have so much to do with water that it is almost to be won derod that for working purposes they I are not supplied with knee breeches, In which they would be able to paddle about without danger of damaging the leg portion of their nether garments. As tliis innovation lies not taken place, the trousers are made very baggy so that they can be easily turned up well out of Hie water when work in the water has to be done. Were they provided with trousers of the same widtli all tlie way down the leg they would find it difficult to turn them up far enough without at the same time impeding their actions owing to the cotupressloii that would be caused.—London Standard.
