TartuiiM, IIiKlilitmli-rv
The first reference to hii'liluud cos
tume iK-eurs in the Saga of Magnus Bare
foot, king of Norway, lOPit-l IMJ, writ
ten by Snorro Sturluson, who was reared
with the children of that monarch’ll
daughter. Here it is stated that Mag
nus and his men on their return from a
marauding expedition to the west of
Scotland "brought with them a great
deal of the habits and fashions of cloth
ing of these western parts. They went
alsmt the streets with hare legs and had
short kirtles and overeloaks, and there
fore his men called him Magnus Rarc-
fiMit or Rareleg."
In the thirteenth century we seem to
have something like a first referemt* to
actual tartans in the statutes of the
church of Als rdecn, which provide that
“all ecclesiastics are to 1h» suitably ap-
pareied, avoiding red, green and striped
clothing, and their garments shall not
be shorter than the middle of the leg.”
But it should Ik* noticed that the word
"tartar, ” which occurs in the fifteenth
century, in the accounts of the lord high
treasurer of Scotland, and which was re
garded by Inith Borthwick and Pinker
ton ns meaning tartan, really indi
cates, as pointed out by Dr. Dickson, a
| fabric of eastern origin, frequently
“variant” or shot, thn warp and wtMif
being of contrasting colors. We find,
however, a true reference to tartan in
the same accounts in the following cen
tury, for In August, l.YfiS, there appears
an entry for “iij. elnis of Helnnd tar-
tanc to ho hoiss to the Kingis grace,”
these “hoiss” or trews lieing evidently
intended to 1h* worn with “ane schort

have never desired to taste tin* flush of
alligators, cooked or uiietHikctt. But in
India 1 have seen ihe Sontals and other
c;;steiess natives greedily devonr thn
flesh of an alligator without waiting lo
etMik it. The flesh NYils very pah* in eolor,
and probably w;is much sujM ritir tti the
fiesli of snakes mid rats and such like
creatures which form the ordinary food
of tho predatory Sonfal when hunting in
his native wimkIs. It i1im*s not fall to his
lot very often to Im* able to circumvent
and slay and eat a large alligator. He
more frequently comes uimui small alli
gators, and they go to swell the eon-
tents of his cooking jsits. If, however,
he is so lucky as to meet a sahib who
has shot a large alligator, say about fi
feel long, he eagerly falls npoq the un
wonted delicacy without waiting to
erstk it—very-much as we read in iMMiks
cf African adventure that the natives
devonr tho carcasses of the large game
animals that the English sportsmen 'lo
