eat Mescaline Style of Attire.
The necessity by which men feel co­
erced of proving to the world that they
wear white shirts lies at the baals of
• II the difficulties of the dress problem.
Until the garment becomes extinct
It Is hopeless to attempt the reform of
men’s dress on the lines of health and
comfort.
It will of course ultimately disap­
pear, for It Is but the mark of a stage
In the evolution of dress. Just as the
vermiform appendix is a useless evolu­
tionary remnant in the body. But the
question Is whether we ought to await
the slow course of evolution or to use
our common sense and abandon the
ancient garment at once.
Why do we wear white shirts? Ages
ago It was only the wealthy who could
afford to clothe themselves In linen.
The possession of linen underwear was
then a mark of social position, and
there was an obvious advantage In
making public display of It.
We may put down three-fourths of
the discomfort of tbe hot summer to
the account of tbe starched shirt. It
prevents the very process devised by
nature to keep the body cool—the evap­
oration of sweat. In so far as It hin­
ders this natural process In summer,
the white shirt favors disease. But In
whiter It Is a fruitful cause of Illness.
In winter the mere wearing of a
white shirt would no doubt leave a
man no better and no worse If he were
content to wear It for Ills own satlsfac
tlon. But the curious law of evolution
comes In and compels him to wear It
In such a way as to do himself physical
Injury.
Wherever evolution is at work It
leaves vestiges- literally, footprints.
Probably It is millions of years since
the vermiform appendix became a use
leas organ, but It still survives. All
evolutionary survivals appear to be
harmful. Tlie appendix Is the seat of
appendicitis. In the Inner corner of
the eye there Is the remnant of a once
useful third lid, which now only lodges
dust and causes Irritation.
The lord chancellor's wig was once a
comfort In ancient drafty legislative
chambers and now merely ser-ves to
make a sensible man look ridiculous
and give him headaches.
People who drew up laws were long
ago paid a.vordlng to the number of
words, but the multiplicity of words
now only causes confusion. So the
white shirt that was once a badge of
wealth and culture, being no longer of
value for tliat purpose. Is only a cause
of discomfort and disease.
It Is necessary to cut a piece out of
the vest and the coat. Just over the
most Important orgnns of the body, In
order to prove to our neighbors that
we wear white shirts. Consequently
In the winter time we expose the lungs
and tbe air passages to tbe cold wind
and the cold rain.
From the point of view of health
nothlug could lie more stupid. Bron
chills la one of tbe moat deadly of all
dlaeasea In thia country. Bronchltla Is
simply Inflammation of the bronchial
tubes. Thia Inflammation la excited
by a chill, u chilling of that part of
tbe body left exposed In order to show
that we wear white shirts.
The white shirt. In fact, might ap­
pear In the tables of the registrar gen-
eral as the cause of so many deaths,
perhaps 100,000 a year.
And does It really Improve a man's
appearance? By virtue of the associa­
tion of Ideas It certainly does. Usual­
ly men who do not wear white shirts
are not given to cleanliness. The man
who wenrs a white shirt washes his
face and hands and brushes his clothes;
hence when we see a white front and
white cuffs we exi>erlence that pleas
ant sensation produced by general
neatness of the person and clothing.
But that a few square Inches of white
clothing over the cheat makes a man
look better la an absurd conclusion.
The case for the white shirt has not
a leg to stand upon The garment Is
uncomfortable, unhealthy and unbe
coming And aa It haa lost the only
useful function It ever possessed that
Is, Its symbolism of exceptional wealth
—we ought to discard It altogether
The difficulties of thia course are very-
great no doubt. What we want Is an
•'antlwhlte shirt society," which would
agree to wear, from some prearranged
date, a dress designed wholly with re­
gard for comfort, health and beauty.—

It to in August that tbe naturalists
observe the marvelous Insect which ta
bom, reproduces anil dies in the period I
of a single night on the banks of the
Marne, of the Heine and of the Rhine.
It 1s the ephemere of which Sirammer-
dam has written and which ta spoken
of In Aristotle.
The life of this Insect does not last
beyond four or five hours. It dies to­
ward 11 o'clock In the evening after
taking the form of a butterfly about six
hours after midday It ta true, how­
ever, that before taking this form It
has lived three years In that of a
worm, which keeps always near the
border of water In the holes which It
makes In the mud.
Tlie change of this worm In the wa
ter to an ephemere which files Is so
sudden that one has not the time to see
It. If one takes the worm In the water
the hand cannot be taken away before
the change ta made unless by pressing
the worm slightly In the region of the
chest, By this means It can be taken
from the water before the change
takes place.
The ephemere, after leaving the wa
ter. seeks a place where It can divest
Itself of a fine membrane or veil, which
entirely covers It. This second change
takes place in the air.
The ephemere assists Itself with the
point of Its little nails as firmly as It
can. It makes a movement similar to
that of a shiver; then the skin on the
middle of tbe back breaks apart, the
wings slip out of their sheath, as we
sometimes take off our gloves by turn­
ing them Inside out. After this strip­
ping the epliemcre begins to fly. Some
times It holds Itself straight up on the
surface of the water on the end of Its
tall, flapping Its wings one against the
other. It takes no nourishment in the
five or six hours which are the limit of
Its life. It seems to have been formed
but to multiply, for It does not leave
Its state of a worm until it ta ready to
deposit Its egg«, and It dies as soon as
they are deposited.
In three days’ time one sees appear
and die all species of ephemere. They
last sometimes until the fifth day, for
the reason that some malady has af-
fected some of them and prevents them
from changing at the same time as the
others.

bright and piercing.
Cowper, physically timid, had weak
blue eyes devoid of animation.
Harvey, the discoverer of the clrcu-
tatlon of the blood, had small eyes, full
of spirit.
Carlyle's eyes wore described as "the
very handsomest ever seen In a man’s
head dark blue.”
Bismarck had eyes of steely gray,
deep sunken, almost hidden under
bushy eyebrows.
Dr. Johnson's poor health so affected
Ills eyes that they were dull and life
less, of a watery blue.

an Editor,
The first reporter of France was
Louis XIII. Tbe National library pos
■eases the manuscripts of thirty-six ar-
tides written by that king. Almost all
are accounts of his military operations.
These articles were published In the
Gazette de Franco The “copy,” how
ever, did not go directly to the printer.
Louis XIII wrote altomlnable French,
and he bad vague notions of orthogra
phy. His articles were corrected and
often entirely rearranged by a secre­
tary named Lucas, who copied them,
sending to Richelieu the new manu
script. Richelieu exnmlned It in hta
turn and often Introduced additional
corrections. At the siege of Corbie the
king wrote a few lines eulogistic of the
cardinal, but afterward crossed them
out of hta article. Richelieu wrote
them In again, and so they appeared in
the Gazette de France. Revue de Par
