THE BEST SHIRT MADE FOR 81 EACH
A FEW REASONS WHY:
First. 1t is cut upon i'm

pie, which produce effects
never before achieved in the
fit of a shirt.
Second. The neckband is so cut and made
in mi With the Shirt to firmly
or slipping up over the neckband, thus over
coming the greatest source OF annoyance to
the wearer in all other systems Of cutting.
Third The sleeves are so cut as to give the
greatest length where needed, SO that the
motions of the arm cannot interfere with the
fit of the body of the Shirt thereby relieving
all strain and wear at shoulders and elbows.
Fourth. The sleeves are REINFORCED at the
top to protect them against the wear OF sus
pendors' seams In outer garments.
Fifth. The shoulders and yoke are slope
curved, and the back so improved as to give
the most room where it is necessary, produc-
ing a clean fit in the back with no ridges,
combining grace and comfort.
Sixth. The bosoms are 3-ply linen through
out, while the front Is REINFORCED (made
double) on either side of the bosom, so as TO
prevent cracking away in the laundering
thereby strengthening the weakest point in
Shirt.
Seventh This Shirt is made from the best
grade of muslin, under the supervision of the
patentee, by selected and thoroughly oompe-
tent operators, which. guarantees to every
Shirt uniform grade of manufacture.
Eighth. Has patented gussets, insuring the

brought pineapples to fruiting. At the
Citrus Fair for Northern California, held
in Sacramento last year, a gentleman Nv
inc in Sacramento City, displayed good
sized pineapple that looked as # It were
ripe. He had raised it in the open air IN
sacramento. The gentleman also ex-
hibited a pineapple growing, which had
been planted in May, 1851
The yelr 1915 is given as the date OF
the first cultivation Of the pineapple N
England. English eXperimeuteis began
the erection Of low stoves called
succession houses. " for the cultivation
of pineapples and it is said that, IN 1870,
pine stoves" of different kinds were to
be found in all the chief English gardens.
And in the british Gardeners Direc-
tory of 1744, it is noted that Scotland
also had been struck with the desire for
pineapple stoves. and description IS
ai,.a n one belonging to the author OF
the ire tory This pineapple stove
was ecied in CrichtOn, near Edinburg,
in 17s3. and in this building the pine

land. 1t is said that the largest pine
apple that has been recorded as having
been raised in England weighed fourteen
pounds. twelve ounces
\ King of Sardinia took an interest IL
the pineapple and sent his gardener
whose name was Brochieri. to England tC

WORDS OF wISDOM.

Take things always by the smoot
handle
Nothing is troublesome that VIC do
willingly.
A gracious man assigns inieriority to
no one but himself
How much pain the evils have cost
that have never happened.
There is nothing either absolutely good
or absolutely bad in this world.
Feebleness Of means is, in fact, the

the punishment of extraordinary graces.
Happy the child who sows the good
and the true. The harvest win not fail
him.
Desire is a tree in leaf, hope is tree
in flower, and enjoyment Is tree in
fruit.
In an angry moment man may do
what lifetime Of repentance cannot
undo.
BE content to do things you can, and
fret not because you cannot do every
thing.
To look at everything in a gloomy
Light is silly, in a roseate hue IS a de-
fusion.
Weak characters never show any de-
cision, except when they commit some
act Of stupidity.
In some instances jealousy is sign of

Of pity and alittle contempt
