Clean Shirts In Germany.

The Berlin Boersen- Courier tells
about a Germans invention of a paper
shirt front which is intended to ap-
peal to the large number Of continental
Germans who wear dickies. The shirt
front has paper collar polish and is in
seven layers. AS each layer is torn off
1t reveals another white, glistening
front. Thus from one paper dicky the
wearer may evolve clean paper shirt
front for every day in the week. The
dicky is made to button to any kind of
shirt. 1t costs but 80 pfennig, or ABOUT
z cents; consequently the expense of a
clean front is but cenA day. In view
Of the prevalence of the dicky habit in
Germany the inventor has taken steps
to manufacture his compound shirt
fronts in large quantities.

BLACK ROCKS.

Story of the Early Days of the Ccr-

A writer In Forest and Stream says
that Elias Blank. one of the early set
tiers of what is now the great Oonnells-
vile coal region, in western Pennsylva-
mia, was among the first Americans to
burn soft coal. How the thing came
about is thus described:
One nigh Mr.. Blank was aroused by
a rapping at his door. Opening it, he
admitted famous Indian fighter, Lewis
Whetzell, and companion, Jonathan
Gates. commonly known as Long
Arms"
Friend Lewis. said Blank, where
have thee and our friend been and
where bound2'

the same opinion. This oountry's be-

ping into the Quaker speech. L tell
thee no lie. We are scared. Yesterday
afternoon we were in hiding about a
mile from Dunkard creek, and in the
evening we built fire under the bank
very carefully. aud we got some black
rocks to prop up a little kettle and put
them beside the FIRE rather than in il,
and the black rocks took fire and burned
f1ercely, with q filthy smoke and q
bright light. and Long Arms said the
devil would come if we staid, and we
grabbed our kettle and poured out the
water and made our way here, leaving
the black rocks to burn
Elias Blank was much interested. He
did not tell Whetzell what the black
rocks were, but he found out exactly
where the men had made their fire. and
when they went away be gave them
each a new Ezra Engle rife. a knife
and tomahawk. with four pounds of
powder and supply of lead.
Then he hunted up their camping
ground. found the BLACK rocks and
