enormous charges of practising physicians are
a serious burden to them. and also find that
after paying themselves poor that no benefit

one remedy will cure any other disease than
the one claimed for it, and as these remedies

Not Rich. But INDIGNANT.

Among the .eNcursionists yesterday
was a fat man encased in an immense
linen buster, accompanied by a scared
looking wife whose weight would not
have balanced one hundred pounds.
As they came up Jefferson avenue, the
man wiping off his heated brow and
limping on his sore corn. they turned
into o store and the fat man said:

The Era Of the Flannel Shirt.

Within the last two years signs of q
movement have been noticed which
seems likely to cause a complete revolu-
ton in the matter of summer attire for
men, and during the present season it
has gathered so'much strength and vol
ume that its importance cannot with JUS
tice be any long er ignored. The intro
duction of the flannel shirts as a substi-
tute for the rigid-bosomed cotton and
linen abomination, which has hitherto
been regarded as the test of respectable
ity, has already met with considerable
favor, and gained a large measure of
that popularity which is assuredly de-
serves. It is singular that residents in
this climate of intense summer heats
have not long g seen that a radical
change in their attire was necessary,
and that, a far as all occasions of BUSH
ness or pleasure at this season of the
wear are concerned, the starched shirt
might with good reason bepacked away
in the same chest which contains the
winter overcoat and furs. Not a single
apology q be made for this garment
during the summer. It does not adapt
itself to the dangerous attitudes into
which the human figure allows itself to
droop during the heated term, the load
ing of its bosom with starch renders it
impervious to the air, the unnamed por-
lions which depend below the waist are
of abnormal length and not easily to be
disposed of when that very necessary
article of attire, the trousers, is drawn
owe them, while the rigidity of the col
lar and cuffs is simply uncomfortable by
any man who has aproper idea of COM
fort. For state occasions, the formal
dinner and giddy whirl of the dance-if
people must indulge in such festivities
during the summer-the expansive
white shirt-front is not out of place, al
though we must confess that the most
picturesque and enjoyable ball we ever
! attended was at a large sea-shore hotel,
where the young men for the most part
appeared in the knickerbockers, flannel
shirts, and loose jackets of the pedes-
trian and camper-out, OF the white duck
and blue uniforms of the yachtsman, to
dance with the ladies in their
cool muslins and lawns. Where
the conventional shirt of civil
cation falls short in the balance, the
merit of the flannel shirt dependencies.
1t sits lightly and tiexibly upon the figure
| conforms itself to the movements of the
wearer. permits the cooling currents of
air to meet the body, and cherishes in
| stead of chafes the neck and wrists-in
all of which respects it is directly OPP
posed to its rival, which is about 81
comfortable in summer as a shirt of
chain mail or the steel breastplate of q
medieval warrior. In the matter of
picturesqueness, also, the flannel shirt
has superior claims. -Boston Journal.

An Indian Jungle.

A gloomy damp forest it was, with
thick underwood and high trees exclud-
ing the SUMS cheering and drying in
fuence; immense, apparently endless,
rope-like rattans and creepers hung in
festoons everywhere, long beard-like sill
very gray lichen, and here and there
brilliantly colored and Enthusiastically
shaped orchids adorned the giant stems,
the only bright color in the monotony
of shades of green, except when Il gor-
geously colored parrakeet flashed past
%screeching, or a more sober tree dove
flew startled from its hiding place.
Sometimes we met a party of laughing
thrushes, chuckling to themselves as if
over some very good joke, never quiet
for one moment, perpetually bustling
about from branch to branch. They
nearly always attend a large company
of Jungle fowl, the ancestors of our do
mestic bird, under the leadership of
that most magnificent ~potentate, the
Jungle cock, who struts about in his bril-
liant plumage, armed with his long
spurs, and making the forest echo with
his defiant crow Startled by u ap-
proach, with a growing and a cackling,
off they go, making for the nearest bush
or tree, upon the branches of which
they settle, but not before they have 0 n
tributed their share to our larder. The
young birds are very good, eating; the
old ones will only just do for soup OF
the thinnest nature. But we have also
paid toll to the inhabitants Of the forest
"a toll collected i%nnothing less precious

exacted, in spite of all p%recaution and

the leech-is the ~tax-gather, and, do
what one, will, there is no escaping him.
Tiny little corkscrew-like creatures wait
for the traveller everywhere, standing up
erect, and twisting their a%ttenuated

about for something to fasten upon.
Almost thread-like, half starved, and

Is as agreeable a person as one would
wish to meet.
There's an unusually lively and
pleasant gentleman living in the Ninth
ward who occasionally drops in at nv
funerals. He does not make Il a point
70 60 TO them, but, as he says himself,
necan never get past them. He told me
ne was obliggedto go in; no matter how
important his business might be-, he
would forget all about it as soon as he
saw the hearse and carriages. The first
time l. saw him at funeral 1 thought he
was certainly n of the nearest rela-
ives. He Is a very large, round-faced,
oenevolent-looking gentleman, that
would be observed in any crowd. On
this occasion, after he had looked at the
deceased person for a few moments. he
became greatly overcome with emotion,
and some n led him to a chair. Each
one of the mourners supposed, of course.
that he was known to the others. He
w!ept throughout the discourse, and after
1t was over shook hands all around with
the mourners. and showed a good deal
OF fervent and, I have no doubt, genuine
sympathy. Ibid not know until some
time afterward that he was a dummy
that's the name we sometimes call them
by. This man is really as Jolly a fellow
as you ever met, and they say he has
been requested to leave theatres more
than once, in case he would not subdue
q particularly substantial laugh which
he possesses. In fact, most Of these
people who love to go to funerals are
good-hearted people. It is not true, as
has sometimes been said, that they are
touched q little in the head. The fact
seems to be that they are emotional and
sympathetic, and are strongly affected
by any awe-inspirtng scene. Even young
girls and boys have now and then 3
fancy for funerals, though none of them
can say why. Most of them sayitmakes
them feel BETTER but if you ask where
or how, they cannot say. They all
watch everything as though in a sort of
dream.
Zone of my best hearse drivers use5,
as aboy, to be a regular attendant at
funerals. One day he came around to
my stable and asked if he might help us.
I let him do so; and after a while he used
to take q hand regularly in keeping the

enough to go to work his father had to
bring him to me-he wouldn't work any
where else. If you ask him why he likes
this business, he'll tell you he don't know.
A slim, middle-aged man here adj
dressed the undertaken, and was received
by that parsonage in a most friendly
manner. The slim man suggested that
there might be some way he could be
of use before the services were done.
CHOW, there's a man," said the I'M
dertaker, s'who is interested only in the
mechanical part of the business. He
goes to almost all my funerals, butseems
to feel no special sorrow or sympathy.
His whole mind is taken up with the
conduct of the funeral. To suit him,
the business must be done with the most
solemn exactitude. He said to me the
other day that if he could only once have
complete charge of a large funeral he
would be happy for the rest of his life.
