vACUITY OF DUDE CRANGUMs.
Prof. Forster, director of the Uniyer-
sity Ophthalmic Clinic of Breslau, has
made a startling discovery. The gen
tleman is accounted an expert of great
eminence in his speciality, the care OF
the eyes. and we are told that 800 of his
patients have been found to be suffer
ing from a chronic complaint, brought
on by a hindrance of the normal flow of
blood through the wearing of too closely
fitting collars.
The neglige does not only hold its
own III this respect, but when we con-
slider that famous mathematician has
figured that man fifty years old-if he
be not an Indian or a member of the
Dakota legislature-has spent three
years in buttoning his collar, it be-
hOOves the race to find some other way
of shortening life's soiOurn. Then why
is not this apropos-as Miss Emacla
Rhinopouch would say:
When the air is hot as as furnace fire,
And the pores of the universe persplre.
And baked and parched and all unstarched
The tribes of men are as Goals in pyre,
When the world all Wilted lies, uncomforta-
ble inert,
There, then the truly wise puts on his fan
mel undershirt.
A plague on your linen collars and cuffs!
When the mercurys eighty one doesn't
want rufus;
Comforts the word, and it's absurd
On the days when humanity steams and
puffs
To pinch wrist and neck. No, the chap
who's alert
And always on deck, puts on flannel
shirt
It's cooling and soothing to think Of ice,
nd raa6inp Of nnlor travels is nice.
And snooze or a smoke in the shade of an
oak
Is all very well; but, take my advice,
If you want to be as cool as fountain S
squirt,
Or frog in pool, wear your flannel shirtl
ST. PAUL SHIRTS.
Among the fortunate ones in st. Paul
who have shirts and appetiteS is Judge
Egan, for instance. He is on the best
of terms with his dapple gray shirt, but
says he cannot agree with 1T more than
SIX weeks at a time. His wife takes
charge of it then, and when that fair
lady has done with it and resuscitated
the garment, it comes out of the ordeal
considerably paler.
There is Mayor Smith, who is never
seen in his office without shirt of some
kind. He thinks that one neglige shirt

to loud, strong state of health.

late in the fall. Gravediggers are es-
pecially invited to bid early before the
sun comes out.
County Auditor Kahn delights in his
blouse and belt, and looks as cool as a
mother-in-law while wearing it. His is
a plain, ordinary. cOmSumptlve-cOm-
plexioned shirt, with buttonholeS and
seams.

during the evening.
Luther Newport borrowed a shirt
upon his return from the Eastern hemi-

broad, expansive, regimental front, the
back being cut to match. With this on
he can knock more confessions out of
the real estate swindlers than is really
necessary for their future contracts with
the state.

voices of the neglige is M. f. Redding,
deputy clerk of the district court. Mr..

amid all this strife of collars, cuffs, ETC.,
against the shirt, the collar is bound to
be on top. 1t would be startling in
novation to see the collar anywhere else
than on the top of shirt.
Tom O'Brien says: II have worn
one OF these shirts for the past nine
years, and | would never wear any
other during the warm weather. The
only fault have to find is that | have
to shave my shirt oftener, have to knock
it out before can put it on, and the
buttons, like cub bears, refuse to stay
in their holes"
G. Tyson Butcher wears a Jenness-
Miller, limber-backed, bolted-bosom-
style which is very becom ming. This is
the strongest kind of shirt, and supports
itself in the fall.
City Clerk Prendergast thinks there
is nothing cooler in summer than a
