Evolution Of tho Noglige Shirt.

When the neglige shirt first became
popular, says the Philadelphia Record,
1t was a flannel or silk shirt with a soft
collar and no cuffs to speak Of. Its
object was to relieve man Of wearing
starched bosoms and collars and cuffs
in hot weather, when they are not only
uncomfortable but likely to wilt down
from perspiration and give the wearer
a slovenly appearance. Now, however,
the only difference Is found In the
color. The neglige shirt is as stiff as
board and the collar even sitter; SO
are the cuffs. In fact 1t 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 1t
shined every day or 80. Some one,
however, had to invent patent polish
for the neglige shoe, and it costs more
to shine that than it does regular
black shoe.

Big Jackson is dead. and as a result
che heart Of King McManus is bowed
down beneath the weight Of unutter-
able woe. jackson was only, a big,
shaggy, olack bear, but he WIS hale
fellow in his way, and there WAS not q
man in all the Potrero who could cope
with him when It came to drinking
whisky, says the San Francisco Ex-
aminer. He could drink from morning
till night, &C rolling to his bed In the
corner OF the yard, and get up in the
morning fresh as ever. From his youth
he was rollicking blade, with good
dash Of the Bohemian in his makeup,
and early in life he started to travel
the pace that kills. His friends had
foreseen for long time that there
could be but one end to it all, and
when jackson succumbed to the grim
destroyer they shook their heads know
ingly and said with one accord: II
told you So"
Sunstroke was the immediate cause
Of his death, but alcoholism reared Its
hideoas head behind it all. Dissipa-
ton had sapped the strength of a once
robust constitution, and the other day
came the end. As,usual, jackson was
in his cups. During the forenoon he
poured whisky into bis stomach In lib
eral quantities, and the consequences
was that by the noon hour he was very
drunk. Then he became ugly and
beisterous, as was his won't when
drinking, and he was thrust out in
the small back yard to sleep of the ef.
fects Of his po6stions. The day was
hot and Jsekson's blood was ahre
from whisky. He lay in the sun for
some time In q drunken stupor, and
when evening came he was desd, Sun
stroke, the doctor said, and his life
must have gone out hours before they
found him.
: When 1t was found that Jackson wa
dead, King McMsnas was sent for. BE
had been the latter's favorite for years,
land 1t was. deemed fitting that, the
monarch of yPotrero should be given
the opportunity to show thel last honora
to his pct
ttGive him the best send-of you can,
boys" Ras the kings sdmonition, land
don't spare any expense. jackson wa
. Thoroughbred, and nothing is too
good for him. Send the bill to me-"
=, And 80 MoManus' followers gathered
in to attend the rites. There was q
wake such as emily the 'Potrero order
knows, and when It was all over the
body Of Jackson was laid to rest in q
grave dug for him on the top Of Irish
hill, overlooking the scene Of many q
jolly caroussl Nor was there any lack
of mourners. jackson had made . host
Of friends in his dissipated career, and
they stood about his grayeside~ to dc
him such honor as they could.
: I'VE planted him just like q human
being" said one sympsthizer. "And
why shouldn't we? He wasn't the best
:bear In the world, for he drank like 9
Ash and was often cross and abusive
but he meant we'll, and never played 1,
low on friend in need"

An epidemic OF suicide has prevailed
In Buda Pesth and other Hungarian
towns lately, In Buda Pesth alone
seven suicides occurred in one day
some two weeks ago. The number OF
cases Of insanity Is also increasing so
rapidly that the hospitals and asylunls
are crowded. Physicians ascribe both
phenomena to the scarcity Of pure wine
since the phylloxera, in consequence
OF which the people drink q made-up
liquid composed of substances perni-
cious to the byain.
