Japanese Paper Uniforms.

Pan JMall Gazette. ~As we write we are clad in-a suit of paperas supplied to the Japanese soldier in service. It is thoroughly iight, easy under the Arms and over the chest. The trousers, it is true, -ire knickerbockers, and lead to the impression that/the Japanese soldier invariably wears his left leg shorter than his right; but this, we believe, is the result of art rather than nature, It is said that this paper never learst-kj—vei’y warm, and seldom wears out. We should recommend the poor to wear the “P; M. G.” tinier their coats this cold weather. A man might make a handsome livug by having advertisements print ?d on himself, after the manner o Jhe praying machine. These clothes would also make useful pajamas, ?eing elegantly fitted with tapes and •.buttons, just like real. Lo Ben likes them. We got into them. We got nto them without tearing them, but we are not quite sure whether we fliall ever get out again. Later—-We lot out of them, but they are very difficult to fold up. “I wonder why Miss Primmalway sinus My.Sweethearfsthe Man in the Moon?’ ” T fancy it, is because he can't come down thd deny it.”
