The Passing of the Flannel Shirt

The flannel shirt Is a great IN

home the proud husband and
father dons it and goes forth to

for the twelve year old son. An
other week rolls round and it is a
perfect fit for the baby. The

THE FINANCIAL LOSSES.

The condition of political affairs In
Italy promises to speedily develop results
of great interest 1t is said that the pres
emit ministry is nearing a fall, and that
the policy of the new ministry will be to
break away from Germany and renew the
old alliance with France. Italy has been
committing mistake after mistake ever
since Sedan, but her statesmen seem TO
have fully realized the sad plight OF the
country only when the returns OF Italian
trade for 1888 came to be published. They
showed that the custom receipts for ths
wear had fallen of over S12, 900. 900, and at
the same time Italian exports had dimin-
ished by more than SIS, 0OO, OO0. 1t was
impossible to prevent the people from
jumping at the conclusion that this
bad exhibit was a direct result of the
abrogation of the French commercial
treaty. That the Prime Minister himself
believed the same thing, or at least
thought it good policy to appear to be-
lieve it, is seen in his recent public an
nouncement that, as far as he was con-
cerned, he would welcome any PROPOSE
ton coming from France, for renewal OF
the treaty. In the Parliament itself Crlspl
had taken occasion to express the most
friendly sentiments toward France. ms
does not mean, OF course, a breaking Oh
of the German alliance, but it indicates tnat
the Italian Government recognizes the
spreading popular sentiment against war
and the heavy taxes involved In gettine
ready for war. together with the general
desire to avoid quarrel with France.
