Doing Up Mems Linen.

Some time ago my husband used to COM
plain that his linen collars did not set nicely
in front. There was always a fulness which,
in the case of standing collars, was particu-
larry trying to man who felt good deal of
pride in the dressing of his neck, as it spoiled
the effect of his cravat, and often left a gap
for the display of either the collar band of the
shirt or half-inch of bare skin. While talk
ing with particular shirt maker one day he
mentioned his annoyance, and inquired if
there was any way of relievingit. ''Yes,'
answered the man, "the fault is with your
laundress. While doing up your collars she
stretches them the wrong way. Damp linen
is very pliable, and good pull will alter
fourteen-inch into f1fteen-inch collar in the
twinkle of an eye. She ought to stretch them
crosswse and not lengthwise. Then in
Strengthening out your shirt bosom she makes
another mistake of the same sort. They also
ought to be pulled crosswise instead of length
wise, particularly in the neighborhood of the
neck. A leDgthwise pull draws the front of
the neckband somewhat directly under your
chin, where it was never meant to 90, and of
course that spoils the set of your collar
With the front of your neckband an inch too
high, and your collar an inch too long, you
have a most undesirable combination" The
speaker was right. As soon as my husband
ordered the necessary changes to be made in
ference manifested itself in the appearance of
that most important part of his clad anatomy
his neck. Let me commend the shirt
makers hint to other distressed men.-Corr.

ward, but when evaporation from the surface
begins, the portion which sank down will
begin to reascend. Various conditions mod
ify the movement of the salts, such as the de-
gree of the communion of the particles of
the soil or the amount of moisture it contains.
A large proportion of the salts has tendency
to rise or climb. Most of the deliquiscent
salts descend. Nitrate of lime, no wever, has
strong inclination to rise to the surface,
while carbonate of potassa and chloride OF
calcium sink. Superphospnate of lime is re-
markable for its climbing propensity. Cen
orally, the rule seems to be that the extreme
layers OF the permeable oil are richest in the
elements of fertilization, while the intermediate
ones are comparatively poor, - a fact we'll
deserving the attention of the agricuturist.

that we omit our customary report OF the

accident. Our reporter had duly prepared
those sales for the printer. A brace of infan-,

prepared. They got along all right until they
struck the cement man. That illustrious per-
sonage had set up his modest laboratory at
the corner of Carson and Spear streets. The
younkers stopped to see an old shoe cemented
to secondhand tenpin ball. When they
had got through wondering, their stock report
was gone where the woodbine twineth So,

came down last night by the lightning train,
he going on to California and she going to
the Lake. Also Dick Dey was on the train,
bound for San Francisco. Another of these
birds of passage was our old friend Jake
Levy, who dates back to the diluvian and
ante-diluvian days of Nyes Ranch, some
thing better known as Marysville. Mr..
James Gamble of the Western Union Tele-

CLOTHING.
stocks.

A very bad pun is suggested by that cloth
sign of Koppel & Platt's on the side of the
street-sprinkling cart. The water slops over
and vets the sign; the sign suggests the stock
in-trade of these popular clothiers, and the
laboring punster is tempted to mutter some
thing about their wetting their new suits,
watering their stock, and similar feeble atroc-
tiles. 1t does q warm and weather worn man
good to look upon the cool linen garments Of
these dealers; and when we come to takeac care
ful look at prices, we find that the wayfaring
man, tho he be bankrupt, can afford to take
unto himself the handsome outward seeming
bestowed by the well male and fashionable
suits sold there, and to adorn his person with
the linen and hosiery offered by them for sale.
And SO do We commend these old established
merchants to the favor of the readers of the

at tho same time. There is peculiar pene-
trating look practiced by some people while
IN a certain stage of intoxication. This per-
son took on that kind of look. 1t is a
species of Crawford Plan. He insisted that
we must know the secret that oppressed him.
We gave our word of honor that We did not.
Then he let little of it leak out-just . bit
of the ragged edge, as it were, Then when
we looked puzzled las We really were), he
made it manifest by his manner that he
thought we were triAing with his credulity or
his intelligence or his mystery. Meantin'a
all we smelt was his breath. He was niue
