THE EVOLUTION or The FLANNEL
SHIRT.

The flannel shirt has at last be-
come orthodox. 1t need no
longer hide its honest and COM
Portable surface under closely
buttoned waisicoats or seek the
disguise of linen cuffs aud collars.
1t has appeared openly in the
United States Senate, enyeloping
the moist and manly forms OF dis
tlnguished members of that body.
Next year we shall look to see it
come in with straw hats and to
have the polished board with
which the masculine breast has
hitherto been adorned and pun
ished, laid away With the oyercoat
of the winter time.
Like all other revolutions, this
one begar 10 the lower ranks and
progressed upward. With each
sunmei it has mounted new
round of the social ladder. 1t
has been modified, tnmmed aud
fashiored to fit the requirements
of the gradually improving COM
pany II which it found itself, buq
il has remained the wholesome,
conl, comfort table flannel shirt it
originally was when it covered
nothing higher than the iron arms
and orawny chests of the rolling
mill workmcn and longshoreman.
The summer temper Of the pub
lie, We think, will improve with
tbe. decrease of personal summon
temperature resulting flom the
innovation. There Will be OPP
portunltles for breathing and
scratching, for catching ar and
for taking exercise without the
humiliating CONSCIOUSNESS of wilt
lng and creasine where all should
be s.ifi,, polished and white. Now
that the flannel shirt has reached
the topmpst stratum OF society, il
may be expected to Ieman there
in serene possession, retaining in
its embrace the dahitiest flowers
and the strongest growths of our
American manhood and waving
triumphantly from the most aris-
tocratic and exclusive clothes
lines.

Mr.. Ethan Allen, Of New York,
continues 10 talk business on the
Cuban subject. He says that
Spain IS ready to sell Cuba TO the
highest bidder, and If we do not
purchase, some European power
will. A Cuban league has been
organized in New York, and the
matter Is beginning to assume
shape. IF MIR. Allen is IL desccn-
dant Of the old revolutionary
Ethan Allen, he is doubtless a man
of brains and pluck. His scheme
may fall through, but after pur-
chasing Alaska it would be hard
to give 4 reason for refusing tc
buy Cuba.

Another of that crooked gentry

public attention is a fellow who
claims Clark as one of his dozen

systematically in swindling trades

self with the finest clothes fash
Ionable tailors could make, and
proceeded to Newport, where for

imagination gained for him the
entree into the most exclusive cir

ABDUCTED BY A GIRL.


Several days ago Oscar MoeiIer,
a middie-a aged, bald headed man,
was arrested for eloping with a
wealthy young slrl. At the time
olthe arrest the par were on their
way from Germany 10 this coun-
try.
New comes the strange part of
the story. AIoeller, instead of
making a manly fight, has broken
down and whiningly claims that
he did not abduct the girl. On
TIE contrary, he asserts that the
giddy young heiress abducted
him. II viii not do for a bald
headed lover who has been caught
running away with u young lady
IN her teens, TO attempt to play
Captain Jack Buusby u his vic
tim Mrs. MacStinger. Such a
stoiy Is too ridiculous for belief.
In these. days young maidsns do
not bodily capture hairless freaks

MAxIMS WORTH REMEMBERING.

Despair is the gateway to insani-
tr.
True and uniform poiteness is
The glory of any young man.
We never thoroughly know a man
until we hear him laugh.
Fame, like lightning, generally
strikes the man who is not expect
ing it.
A mans bearing wins ten superior
woman where his boots and brains
win one.
Ii a man stands before "a woman
with respect tor himself and fearless
ness of her his suit is half won.
Argument will pull wise man
down to the level OF fool, but it
never raises Il fool up to the plane of
Il wise man.
Thorough appreciation of good
women on the part CT young man
is one of the strongest recommended
tons to her favor.
A young man with any degree of
earnestness who declares that he new
ec intends to marry, confesses to a
brutal nature or perverted morals.
The more of a man you become,
and the more of manliness you are
capable of exhibiting in your asso-
Citations with women, the better wife

ADVICE WORTH REMEMBERING.

Think twice before you believe
every evil story you hear, and think
twenty times before you repeat it,
especially if it is about woman.
Ask yourself if it is necessary to re.
peat it. Let us give the helping
hand, not the downward push.
1t was judiciOus resolution of a
father, as we'll as IL most pleasing
compliment to his wife, when, on
being asked by friend what he in
tended to do with his girls, replied /:
81 am going to apprentice them to
their mother, that they may learn
the art of improving time, and be
fitted to become wives, mothers,
heads of families, and useful men,
bers of society,""
Nature is industrious in adjoining
her dominions, and man, to whom
this beauty is addressed, should feel
and obey the lesson. Let him, too,
be industrious in adjoining his do

GRAIN AND VENEER.

There is coarse streak ia almost
every man and in almost every other
woman. Varnish and veneer are of
varying qualities, some remaining
intact for years. 1t is safe never to
scratch too deeply or to subject ac-
quaintances to abrupt extremes of
temperature If you would not expose
the rough grain OF the wood beneath
the gloss. The cat, transformed at
her masters prayer, into his bride,
sprang from his arms to seize and
dev0ur mouse that strayed into

FREE VOTING.

Thes' free and independent" voter
is n better citizen thanthe voter who

There is no sincerity in the partisan
abuse showered upon such a voter.
The abuse is meant to produce the
effect of trepidation upon the man
who sees clearly and votes straight
to the mark every time. But year
by year the trepidation is less appar.

and voting at all elections should be

THE ELECTRIC AGE.-PrOf. Ellis.
ha Gray remarks that electrical
science has made greater advance
in the last twenty years than in all
the 5000 historic years preceding.
More is discovered in one day now
than in thousand years of the mid
die ages. We find all sorts OF work
for electricity to do. We make it
carry our messages, drive oGr ell
CINE, ring our door bell, and scare
the burglar we take it as medi
clue, light our gas with it, see by it,
hear from it, talk with it, and now
we are beginning to teach it to write.
