Evolution of the Neglige Shirt.

5 When the neglige shirt first became popular, says the Philadelphia Record, it was a flannel or silk shirt with soft collar and no cuffs to speak of. Its object was to relieve a man of wearing starched bosoms and collars and cuffs in hot weather, when they are not only uncomfortable but likely to wilt down from precipitation and give the wearer a slovenly appearance. Now, however, the only difference is found in the color. The neglige shirt is as stiff as a board and the collar even stiffer; so are the cuffs. In fact. it isn't neglige at all. The same thing applies to the russet shoe. When it first came out it's chief advantage lay in the assertion that it wasn't necessary to have it shined every day or so. Some one, however, had to invent a patent polish for the neglige shoe, and it costs more to shine that than it does a regular black shoe

Tho Graceful Girls of Siam.

The Siamese girls are the most graceful women in the world. Their joints are very supple, and a part of their education is made up of bending their joints back and forth to make them so. They are all short haired, and when young they are as plump as cartridges and as straight as the palm trees of their own beautiful land. As they grow older they become wrinkled and ugly, and the most of them ruin their teeth from chewing the betel. Only the fewest of them are educated, and I don't think they would be happy in our high French heel shoes, and they would die if bound in by our corsets and crinOline.

There is much to commend in "The Skirts of Chance," the prize novelette,, by Capt. Alfred Thomp- son, in the September issue of "Tales from Town Topics" None but a man of the world, an artist, and close observer could have handled so many different phases of life and character, and have blended them into such thrilling, cohesive whole. To many readers the life depicted in the story will appear overdrawn and unreal, but not so to the travelled man, and the frequenter of the cafe and cOulisse, as they exist in Europe. In the miscellaneous matter that follows the story, the most desper- ate pessimist or the most enthus- iastic optimist will find much to his taste.

- --~-~ --lly VI IICI uay. One was en- tirely uncared for. A hole in the wall for refuse was cleaned only once a day. The woman died of blood poisoning. And this is the way a sick person fared in one of the better houses! Usually a sick person is placed in a room that is reached from the house by crossing a court and passing through an alley. The alley usually has black, slimy wa ter in it. The room is seven feet square. In the court are often found the COW, chickens and number of per sons. No wonder that, under such conditions, cholera spreads like wild fire. But cholera is always brought. It never starts of itself.

CHOLERA IN INDIA.
 - M How the Scourge Is Spread Among
 the People. An Utter Lack of Sanitary PrecautiOn Makes of the Villages a Perfect Breeding Ground for the
 Disease Germs.

A plain story of the conditions that prevail in India for the spread of the cholera was told lately at the New Century club by Dr. Pauline Root of the Woman's medical college, who has lived for eight years in southern India, says the Philadelphia Ledger. Dr.. Root began by describing the condi- tions under which people live in south ern India in order to show exactly what circumstances generate the cholera. There is absolutely no san ftation there, as we have it. Drainage, with the exception of fever breeder n the way of an open sewer, is un- ;nown. In the villages the people i've in low mud huts, where all the amily congregate in one room, the di- tensions of which are likely to be our feet by ten or twelve feet. As here are no outbuildings at all there 5 no way in which persons can protect themselves against the cholera if it nee appears in such a household. Sometimes, if the well runs dry, stag lant water must be used. A high aste parsonage will not allow a low taste to use his well.
 Commonly people go to the river for water. AS the water is frequently not on the surface "tub'' is dug in the river bed and the water allowed to col lect. At this tub, or at the well, all the functions of bathing are per- formed. First the jar is filled, and the water being dashed over the person soon trickles back to it's source. In the case of certain religious enthusi- asts water is poured over the body fifty times. Next the seely,- the single piece of silk or cloth which is worn as a garment, must be washed. This is dipped into the pool Finally the jar is refilled and carried home. The quail Ity of the water by the time the jar is reflled is promising indeed when cholera is in the air. In these river tubs the clothes are washed. The cat Jle are taken there to drink.
 Dr. Root said that in sending a man to the river to fetch water there was never any certainty that he would not i'll his jar with the water standing in one of the pools, instead of digging a 'resh hole. The very cleanliness of he people, and they are extremely ''aaT tends to tie spread ." - olera, .-s.-. r-eir method Of Iath.1. is so

70 BUY Up THE GRAND TRUNK.
Scheme to Secure the, Line. in Which
George Gould, Russell Sage and Duncan
Mcintyre Are Concerned.


A most important railroad deal is at
present being worked in London, Eng,
on the part of some Canadian and Amer
lean capitalists looking toward the secur-
ing of controlling interest in the Grand
Trunk Railway and the removal OF the
board of management to Montreal.
Four weeks ago Mr.. Foxwell of New
York, said to be representing George
Gould, went to Montreal and opened
negotiations with Duncan Mcintyre, one
of the Crank Trunk directors, and L. j.
Forget, stock broker. A second meeting
was held in New York, there being pres
emit George Gould. Russell Sage, Duncan
Mcintyre, L. J. Forget and Mr.. Maxwell.
1t was arranged that Messrs. Mcintyre
and Forget were to go to England to ar
range with some of the large share
holders of the company to buy whatever
balance Of stock was nee essary to secure
control of the company.
Should they be successful in this the
head Office is to be transferred to Mon
treal. The board of management is to
be controlled by George Gould and is to
consist probably of two Montrealers,
two Englishmen and five Americans.
Messrs. Forget and Mcintyre are now
in England, and advices from them state
that the scheme is going favorably in
England. Messrs. Gould and Foxwell
are to join the two Canadians in London
to complete arrangements.
