UPROARIOUS APPAREL.
That Worn by the Young Man Of the
Period Would Make solomon
Look Like Thirty Cents.

Some hopeful people had an idea last um-
mer that the limit had about been reached
in the loud colors of mems attire, in shirts,
ties, hosiery and soft hats, and that this
summer might see return to more placid
and subdued hues and patterns as a sort of
reaction. The advance styles in the win
dows of the haberdashers' shops indicate
that such hopes are vain and that linen and
things will this year be even more startling
than last season, if that be possible. Some
of the shirts on display in the windows seem
to actually shrek through the glass at the
observer, and the width of the stripes is OF
the general style and pattern SO long popu-
lar at Joliet penitentiary. These conversa-
tional shirts have gradually grown worse
and worse each year until now the pessimists
do not see how anything worse can happen
than the things which are now on sale.
The red hat affected by the college boy
last year and its side partner, the blue crush
hat, have rival this year in pale white hat,
with the under side of the brim and also the
band Of deep blue, making q striking con-
trast of color, which seems to be what is
most particularly desired.
All the tiashy patterns in hosiery, the
plaids, the reds and yellows and greens in
combination, are once more to the fore, and
when the young man of the period gets him
self up in all the colored trimmings he can
buy, with red and blue barred shirt and
cuffs, a white collar, red hat and plaid
hose showing above his low ties, he will
make Solomon in all his glory look like 30
cents-Chicago Chronicle.

WHITE OR BROWN BREAD?
The Former Is Declared by Scientists
to Be the More Nu-
tritiOus.

The oft-repeated debate between the
advocates respectively of the white and
brown breads is now again being re-
newed. DR.. Andrew Wilson takes the
side of the brown, while DR.. Lauder
Burton writes in praise of the white,
and he is supported by several other
contributors. These latter profess
SIGNALS are firm in the belief, after hav-
ing made investigations into the ques-
ton, that white bread is more nutri-
tious than the brown variety. The lat
ter has it's merits, of course. 1t tends to
remove the torpidity of the digestive
system, which too often occurs in per-
sons of sedentary habits, and supplies
also mineral matters-especially phos-
phate of lime-needed for bone-build-
ing. But the white bread also supplies
mineral items, and as regards fat it is
said to afford a larger proportion OF this
important food than the brown bread.
The great point our investigators lay
stress on, however, is the Importance OF
judging the value of a food by physio-
logical rather than by a purely chemical
criterion. It is one thing to say that any
food shows under analysis large pro-
portion of this or that nutriment, and
quite another thing to assert that it can
be easily assimilated, or, in other words,
that it's nutriments can be easily OBJ
tanned by the body for the ultimate pur-
pose Of nourishment. White bread over
tops the bBown in this latter respect,
and so we may rest content to know
that in the ordinary loaf we have
typical enough representative of the
staff Of life.-London Illustrated News

AUCTION FRAUDS.
bold Swindles That Are Frequently
Worked ON the Unsuspect-
ing Public.

"There is plenty of bogus auction.
eering nowadays" said the old auction
eer. 1T appears to me as though the
good people are being driven out Of
the business by the fellows who sell
poor stuff. Anyway, the auction rooms
where they handle high-class goods, Sc
cured legitimately to sell on commits
sion, are not supported by the public.
P. Il. Rarnum said the people like to
be fooled, and he hit the nail on the
head.
"You take these, what I call, low
class auctioneers. One of their games
is to stock house with shoddy stuff,
engage family to remain there a
month or two and then announce a
private SALE Laying a foundation for
such Il play is not considered reputable
by the better class of members of our
profession. The thing smaclls of the
same sort of procedure as the piano
swindle, upon which residents in large
cities ought to be literally educated if
they read the papers. But they are not
and, like the greengoods game, the
gold-brick swindle and all the rest, the
piano auction or the piano private sale
continues to thrive. In many parts of
the country there are men who follow
this the same as reporter hunts news
The swindle lies in the fact that a good,
round sum is obtained for a second
grade piano on the plea that it is being
sacrificed to aid the poor widow, fam
lily in distress, and so on.
'That sort of auction is not mate
rally different from the so-called
widows sale of fast, blooded stock.
Her husband died in kentucky and left
and road and blood stock, which she,
being very, very poor, must sell at auc-
ton, etc. She is usually there, poor,
forlorn widow, in long crepe veil, near
the auctioneer; and she sees the Sec
ond-grade, brolten-down, winded ami
mails disposed of at high prices, while
she wipes a tear from her eye with
blacll-bordered handkerchief.
"rhere are as many tricks to the auc-
ton business as there are in other
trades. A woman has household goods
which she wishes to sell, and, being ig-
norant of the various ways of doing
business, decides to have some one in
the secondhand business hold the sale
at her house. The fact is duly adver-
tised, the red flag is swung from the
porch, the neighbors call and walk GU
riously through the room and decide
to do something for her, but the auc-
tioneer soon starts in, and all plans are
off. When the sale is over the poor
woman finds that her household arti-
cles, which cost her $500, have
brought less than ten cents on the dol
lar.
"Who bought the goods? In her ex-
element, in the commotion, in the
midst of the wild alarms of the auc-
tioneer, she failed to observe, and she
may never know, that nearly all her
property was bought by dealer, the
friend and confidant of the auctioneer;
in fact, by the auctioneey's own silent
partner, to whom he knocked them
down at the very lowest rates. hope
that some day we will aave legislation
that will drive 'em out of business. =
