The Gospel of Work.

Several months ago a man wearing old
clothes and looking unkempt and dirty pre-
scented himself to the proprietor of one OF the
smaller hotels of the city and asked for
work, relates the Hartford Courant. He had
had hard luck, he said, and was willing to
do anything for an honest living. A small
salary would not be refused. He was given
a Job. The work was not hard and the pay
was not large, but he got his room and
board and several dollars a week besides.
The man appeared to be a good worker az1
at the end of the first month his pay was
increased. There was a prospect for another
increase at the end Of the second month, but
before IL came he was gone. He had reno
waited his wardrobe, cleaned himself, got a
little money in his pocket and 1t was all he
wanted. He couldn't stick. His sudden leav-
ing put his employer to some Inconvenience,
but that was nothing to him.
Quite recently a young man approached
the writer of this article and asked II he
could find him something to do. AS he was
known to have changed his employment sew
eral times in a year or so, 1t was thought
we. to make some inquiries before putting
out much effort in his behalf. 1t was learned
that his disposition was not the most agree
able, and, besides, he regarded any request
for him to do a little work outside his usual
routine, or to work a little more time than
usual, MS an unjustiiable imposition. His
habitual attitude was one of armed watch
fulness against his employers, and while he
was competent and did his work we'll, he
drew the line sharply between what he ought
to do and what he thought he oughtn't.
The head of a small department in one of
the insurance offices of the city was saying
the other day that he found the men in the
office generally unwilling to help out an
other department than their own in case Of
rush. Sometimes one department is pushed
with work when others have considerable
leisure time. A request for a little lift from
one of the leisure departments would gen.
orally met with a rebuff or a grumbling
compliance.
Employers have often complained that 1t
is difficult to get men who take a real life
interest in the employers affairs. Tell them
to do a thing and they make excuses or stop
to ask all sorts of questions. instead of
learning to use their brains and going ahead
and doing to the best of their ability what
their hand finds to do. They say that good
men need never be out of employment. This
may not always be so, but 1t Is undoubtedly
a fact that the men who are nearly always
looking for work don't think much of 1t when
they find 1t. The employer certainly has a
right to some feeling of loyalty on their part
to contribute honestly and conscientiously
to the prosperity of the business. There
are of course many employees of whom this
Is true. If there were more there would be
fewer out OF work. a.

Midsummer
Fashions for Men

NEW YORK, June 20.-A we'll fitting set
Of white clothes Is absolutely essential to
the man in the country at this season, and
the only fabric used for making a complete
white outfit, coat, waistcoat and trousers, Is
cream serge. Though naval officers demon
strate each summer the admirable points
of full duck suits. land lubbers, nor yachts
men, ever venture farther in the duck ex-
periments than trousers and w~aistcoat. The
coat invariably with these Is a black or blue
serge REFER, accompanied by yellow shoes.
It is a sorry fact hat only the man ignorant
of the progress of the styles clings to his
white shoes. Pigskin ties are on every
modishly dressed pair OF feet, which ia a
distinct pity, for the yellow pedestals to a
pair OF white trousers, In combination with
a dark coat, Is not nearly so happy as white
shod extremities.
The return to pigskin has been The re-
suit OF economical considerations, for 1t
really required an endless number of fresh
snowy ties to keep q mans feet In anything
like decent order, and contact with so many
elements laid stains on the leather and can
vas that pipe clay could not eradicate.
L~aundered Neckties.
A noticeable point In connection with the
madras and French linen neglige shirts Is
the very big pearl buttons used in fastening
them up in front. The turn dow collars
and rather narrow cuffs OF these new morn
ing "sarks' are made usually stif as a
good laundress can put in the starch. She is
net allowed. however, to let fall one drop
Of the stiffening fluid on the gathered or
pleated bosoms, and all the striped shirts
are barred horizontally. Two small ties Of
the same stuff as the garment itself are
usually found tucked into the pocket OF
every Longing shirt at its purchase. and the
men seem to prefer these little fresh laun-
dered neck to any others.
All the cream serge suits are unlined for
comforts sake. and the tailors have tried.
with some success. to bring striped and
dotted fannels into fashion. In the white
~.fiannels. stripes OF black or pale blue show
like hair lines and wide apart. and there
have been found men ready to experiment
with coats. trousers and waistcoats Of white
peppered over with black. or dark blue OF
clear pink pinhead dots. Commendable as
ornamental novelties are In masculine dress,
1t can not be said that polka dotted trousers
appear to the greatest advantage and 1t is
certain that few but the very gilded youth
will attempt to give them a leg up into pop
ularity.

Sleep Without a Pillow

1t is hardly likely, observes the San Fran
cisco Chronicle. that the pillow was invented
by any one in particular. 1t was In the first
instance, there is every reason to believe,
a very rational institution, and consisted OF
a small pad upon which to rest the head
when the beds were by no means such luxu-
rious affairs as they are today.
The pillows in use today are responsibility
for many evils, which you may be willing
to admit when they are pointed out to you.
and II you would but test the efficacy of
their disuse you would become as ardent an
advocate Of the custom as Is the writer.
There is no greater fallacy than the be7S
lief that a big, downy pillow conduces to
restfulness and health in sleeping. You
sink into its embrace. and delude yourself
that you are comfortable, with your head
resting upon the dear, soft, coy mass OF
feathers. Yet, II the pillow slips away
from you In your sleep. do you miss its
seemingly soothing influence? No. And IL
you can sleep thus comfortably and not
know 1t, why should you not have the
courage to put 1t away altogether?
The pillow may seem to breathe out beau
tiful dreams to you; but while 1t is beguiling
your attention with its seeming restfulness
1t may be pushing your ears out OF shape,
and 1t is certainly making hollows over the
chest by forcing the head forward. 1t may
seem a little thing in itself; but. happening
every night, 1t will rob you of all the beauty
your neck would naturally have and nullify
the good OF any exercise you may take.
Aside from the benefits to be derived in a
shapely neck and chin, to sleep without a,
pillow will conduce to health and greater
restfulness. 1t may seem strange at first,
even a bit painful. but If perseyered In you
can very soon overcome this, and the good
to be derived will we'll repay you.

dances In the country men have been seen
recently In cream serge trousers, low cut
waistcoats OF the same goods and cut on the
Baron or Cairo shape. With this Is worn
a tailless black dinner coat, and the result
Is peculiarly happy. In such a combination
the tie and linen is just what 1t hould be
on any evening occasion, and a noticeable
point about the waistcoats is the small pearl
button used on either lapel. This Is
serviceable in holding the serge flap, which
Is apt to sag, firmly In place.
When a formal dinner party Is on the
cards, howe yer, the men usually turn up in
full evening regalia of stern black and white,
making, even on an evening Of the severest
summer weather, no smallish concession to
the heat. The same rule holds good among
men as regards a country wedding, and most
of the male guests will be sure to appear at
a ceremony or reception on a piping hot
afternoon in frock coats, high hats and the
rest of 1t. Since the summer came it has
become a somewhat settled custom, when the
frock coat is donned, to wear with 1t a
waistcoat Of white goods, so high buttoned

After the experience Of the previous year
the pioneers were not willing to leave the

sad termination Of the outing Of the year

Bracelet Watches.
When the men from New York and
Boston went to Cuba last summer a ques-
ton arose, especially among the officers, as
to the best method of carrying their watches,
as a watch is a convenience no officer can
afford to dispense with. A few sensible fell
lows adopted the custom common in the
English army and among the hunting set, of
strapping the watch on the left wrist, and
the Others, when they saw how capitally the
convenience worked, sent promptly home for
leather bracelet cases, in which to put their
~timekeepers. The result has been thai
among men, for the summer a. least. the
watch is worn on the left wrist, and this
method has been adopted by the cyclists.
