When it comes TO tho apparel question,
we find a problem difficult of solution.
What TO wear for the greatest comfort?
l hear my fat and hasty friend say,
"Why, tho thinnest white cotton garment
you can possibly buy"
mot quite, old fellow. If you do that
you may find it n snare, and one of these
days, with their sudden changes, will
bring you summer pneumonia. Cotton
is not an absorbent, and is no more fit to
be worn next the skin than coat of mail
would be. 1t holds the perspiration and
excretions of the body--of these millions
of little sewers--in its meshes, in suspen-
sion as it were and when you stand in a
breezy place you feel this foreign presence
by the cold, clammy sensation which
brings out the expression that "some one
Is walking over your grave.
Underwear should always be constructed
of wooden material, which may be made
as light and flmy rs desired. 1t Is cooler
than cotton, and far more cleanly.--

Prcying Upon Peoples Grief.
a nuisance, and one that should be
abated, is practice that has grown up
among class of people who prey upon
grief and affliction. Every day these
ghouls who live upon the friends OF the
dead use the mails to send hundreds Of
their offensive missives to list of ad-
dresses gathered from the newspaper
death notices. These are nothing less
than advertisements of florists, embalm-
ers, tombstone cutters, dealers in mourn
ing goods, ETC. Ono sbrewd Philadelphian
generally sends a black card with some
doggerel and the name of tho deceased
printed on It, for which he modestly asks
the bereaved family to send him $1.60.
But worst Of all is seedy looking fraud
who purports to have been sent from
some newspaper and offers (for consid-
eration) to write an obituary notice which
he says will be printed in the newspaper
he pretends to hail from.-"Miss Justice
in New York Star.

6 miles east of Walnut Ridge was
found dead in his house on the 9th.
He had no family, and was supposed
to have been dead 7 to 10 days.
The coroner held an inquest but the
body was so decomposed that no
post mortem could be held, and it is
not known what killed him, but he
was known to have been sick a week
or two before his death, and doubts
less he died from sickness as there
was no indication Of foul play, and

Sounding Public Opinion.

A minor actress employed In current

of finding out what was said about her. A
considerable element In the audiences at that
kind of an entertainment is made up OF rather
fast young fellows, who 60 as often as once

they happen to like them These chaps
lounge In the cafes between Twenty third
and Thirty-third streets, and q great deal Of
their idle chatter Ii on theatrical subjects
especially on actresses who happen at the
time TO be foremost al professional beauties.
Now, the young performer in question had
read about her artistic qualities In the news
paper criticisms, and had reason to know
that she was just tolerabiy acceptable as an
actress and singer; bit she was anxious to
find out how the swell FOUNDERS rated her
Therefore she went to firm Of law reporters
and hired shorthand expert for an entire
week. His duty was to mix as much as pos

Tho Indians Bcrk Canoe.

The bark canoe is the Indians chef
d'oeuvre. It seems to me not only beau.
tiful object, but suggestive emblem Of
his life. II Is the most natural boat In
the world; to make IL he peels the bark
from birch, splits a cedar for timbers
and planks, binds 1t together with roots.
and closes the seams with pitch from the
pine. His tools are an ar, crooked
knife, and an swl made Of deer's bone.
No compass and square cover his weak.
ness, for every piece tells the exact truth
of his hand and eye; not even bench
removes him from the earth, nor O roof
covers him from the sky; he kneels at his
work. And tho women embody their at
tschment in the pitch they press into the
cracks. II Is natures model, made by the
wild man In the woods. The life of the
bark canoe Is equally poetic; 1t floats
through mountain lakes with tho beaver,
and runs rapids with tho otter; indeed.
all its companions are creatures OF the
forest; IL is faithful TO nature to the very
last, when II rctires to the shore of some
lonely pond TO mold under It's mound OF
festhery moss.--C. II. Farnham In Har.
pers Magazine.
