The Romance of a Flannel Shirt.

A man to wear a flannel shirt suc- cessfully needs to have good temper and whole lot of boys of assorted sizes to hold them down when they are too small for him. My experience with flannel shirts this summer is prob ably about the experience of most men. I had my first shirt made big enough for President Cleveland. The first week, before being washed, it was big enough for two of me, but by rolling up the sleeves to nay elbows and leaving the collar five inches too large 1 man aged to wear it all right until it was dirty, when I had it washed. After washing it was a perfect fit, the collar just right a.. d the sleeves just ng enough. For a week 1 enjoyed the shirt mere than anything, but it had to be washed again, and after that 1t was no good to me. could not button the collar, the sleeves had shrunk half way to nay elbows, and the tail-well, ,he les. .aid about the tail the better it will suit me had to shed that shirt, but have watched it's course since with much interest. First it fell to my eldest son, but only week did he fool away time on it. He is not built that way. He kindly presented it to his smaller brother, an eleven year old, modest little fellow, who never kicked on anything until he got that shir.. He wore it one week, with many mis- givings, hut when it was washed again he said he would have to be excused if he was expected to go into society much. He Is a generous boy, and he gave the shirt to his little three year old nephew, my grandchild, who com plained that it Was too tight. The last saw of the shirt it was doing duty for the year old baby. The next time it is washed it will be too small for bib for the baby, and then it will be put on the dolls, the large ones at first and then the small ones When they get that shirt shrunk to the smallest doll ill the family, swhich is ly an inch long, I shall take it to the man I bought it of, the man who told me it wOul not shrink, and try to convince him that he is liar l don't know as can convince him of it, even with the shirt as silent witness, but I'm going to try. If flannel shirts come into fashion they will have to he made of cOttOn.-Peck's Sun.

A Double lseIp for tho Bilious.

In addition to that chief remidial measure-the use of Hostetter's Stem- ach Bitters-perscns suffering from an acute bilious attack, will facilitate re- coyery by the use at first of milk and lime water and thin gruels, and by a very gradual return to the use of solid foods. Fatty substances should be ex- cluded from the diet. Blue pills is a remedy of doubtful safety, particularly if there bc nausea and vomiting, ire nuent concomitants of liver trouble. The Bitters, provided it's reformatory action he not re arded and marred by yross indesc .eticns in diet, will soon restore the eau ibrium of and action of thc liver, stomach and bowels, all three disordered by biliOusness. In all forms of malarial disease, which in every one of its ,,hases presents indications ol liver trouble, Hostetter's Stomach Bit tors is the foremost of specifics. The l;ght of over thirty years' experience also shows it to be . fine remedy fol rhanmatism, kidney troub!es, dyspep .;. nervousness and debility.

 The new road to Copper basin ha heen completed. It Is over . goos grade, rendering access tO the basil now. with heavy teams, quite easy.
 One of the best evidences of the in creased activity in the mines of this section is the fact that mining super intendent has been trying for . week tl engage five or six miners in Prescott and has been unable to do 20.
 J.J. Williams. of Copper Basin, ae cempanicd Governor Tritls out to tn, Blu: Dick mine few days ago, ans made thorough examination of the property. They found very much larger bodies of low grade orc than wal anticipated, and it is thought that they can succeed in working them satis factorily.
