Putting On a Collar—A Hot Summer
Study.
At this time of the year almost every man
purchases some new style of Piccadilly col
lar. As the heat has an alarming tenden
cy to make the average collar wilt and look
mean, he gets some with as many plys as
possibe. What he wants is a collar about
as thick as the wood which is used for mak
ing cigar boxes. He succeeds after a dilli
gent search in getting what he needs, and
in the evening before calling on his fair
one he thinks he will put on anew collar
and a whito necktie. This is how he docs
it, according to the New York Star:
Ha goes to his room and selects a collar
and buttons it on behind; then he fastens
one of the ends in front, and in doing so
he is compelled to look up in the air like a
chicken swallowing water, and to make
facial gyrations which would bring him a
fortune if he could execute them on a pari
tomine stage. After a sustained effort,
which brings forth tears and perspiration,
he manages to button the lirst end, and
takes a breathing spell before essaying to
fasten the second. He is in a state of des
peration now,for, unfortunately, he has but
two hours since cut his nails so short that
he finds it utterly impossible to pinch the
buttonhole around his collar button, the
inside portion of which occasionally grips
him like a vice, and causes him to pucker
up bis lips as though he had just eaten a
green persimon, and to close one eye as
though about tor glance over a gun barrel
at a decamping cat.
It is a terrible ordeal for him, he turns
around on his heels, and sways his left arm
to give impetus to his short nails, but it is
all in vain; that collarseemsmore perverse
and fixed in its intentions every moment;
and feels as though he would like to grasp
the unbuttoned end, and with one effort
yank himself off his feet. He now grits
his teeth takes hold with both hands, and
after a desperate encounter of three minutes
the collar is on. After a breathing spell,
he bends the ends over, and a sort of
psychological rain-bow enamels his feat
ures. The next thing on the programme
is to got out a white necktie, which he does
and soon has it around his neck and fast
ened in a bow, which he thinks will find
favor in the critical eyes of Angelina dur
ing the evening.
By the time he has donned his coat and
has picked up his walking stick and silk
hat to sally forth, he happens to notice in
the glass that his cravat bow has peregri
nated around to that portion of his collar
located directly under the left ear. In an
instant his coat and vest are off’ and he
puts the bow in place, and takes a pin
from his bureau to fasten his necktie to
his collar in a manner which will make its
shifting from a fixed position an utter
impossibility. So be cranes his neck for
ward for the operation. The collar is so
thick that the feat of penetrating it with n
pin is no easy matter. This he discovers
after he has made a few desperate but in
effectual lunges in vain.
Every time be presses liis thumb against
the pinhead ho imagines it is about to run
up into him and shoot out samewhere be
tween bis wrist and knuckles; so he puts
the hack of his brush handle between his
thumb and the pin, and after its slipping off
and scratch his fingers several times, the
pin is finally forced through with a veloci
ty that carries it into liis neck. Then he
whimpers some, and grasps the brush again
to drive the pin from the inside to the off
side of his collar, and thus have everything
fixed to his satisfaction. The pin bends
out of, shape, and he is compelled to throw
it on the floor and jump on it for revenge.
Going to the cushion for another pin, lie
discovers there is not one in it; so heiiicks
the bended one up off the floor and straigh
tens it out with his teeth.
In order to fasten that necktie to his
collar without having the trouble he expe
rienced in liis first essay, he removes it
from his neck and soon lias the operation
performed. He then has to button it on his
shirt again. After tugging at the back but
ton for a few minutes that valuble member
ffysoff and with an expression more forcible
than elegant he comes to the conclusion
that ho will be obliged to put on a clean
shirt. All this time he is boiling away like
a mental Vesuvius, and after he dons the

Faith. — The following is an incident on
the recent return of some British officers
from Afganistan: Scene The wildest part
of the Khyber, with barren rocks on all
sides; an English officer riding along,escor
ted by a motley company of maliks and
tribesmen all armed to the teeth; more arm
ed Afreedees in the middle distance; a wen
r\-, lonely figure toiling on the dusty road
in huge black boots, face burned a brick
red fringed by a scanty sandy beard. The
figure is clad in a thick wadded garment
and has a buudlc on its back. “Halt.
Who are you?” “A Turkestani” “Where
are you going?” “To Mecca.” “How will
you get there?” “God will help.” “Peace
be with you.” “And with you.” The fig
ure moves off, and the armed circle breaks
up. This poor devotee had tramped hun
dreds of miles through hills and valleys,
swarming with cut-throats, secure in his
simple faith which had led him to leave
distant Turkestan in quest of the still more
distant Mecca. Indian Pioneer.
Home Politenss— A boy who is polite to
his father and mother is likely to be polite
to every one else. A boy lacking polite
ness to his parents may Lave the semblance
of courtesy in society, but is never truly
in spirit, and is in danger, as be becomes
familiar, of betraying bis real want of cour
tesy. We are all in danger of living too
much for the outside world, for the impres
sion which we make in society, coveting
the good opinions of those who are in a
sense a part of ourselves, and who will
continue to sustain and be interested in us
notwithstanding these defects ot deport
ment and character. We say to every boy
and to every girl, cultivate the habit ol
courtesy and propriety at home—in the
sitting-room and the kitchen, as well as in
the parlor, and you will be sure in other
places to deport yourself in a becoming and
attractive manner. Whe u one has a pleas
ant smile and a graceful demeanor, it is a
satisfaction to know that these are not put
on, but that they belong to the character
and are manifest at all times and under all
circuiaatanccs.

'Restoring the Drowned.
Dr. Lambeth, of New York, asserts that
it ean he done by hot water. < ‘ ‘The philoso
phy of the matter,” says the docter, is this:
“Apply heat to the drowned body. Get it
j warm. That is all. Only get it w r arm, I
; deserve no credit for the recipe. I dicov
! ered it one morning when a boy. There
i was no wit nor wisdom in the discovery.
It was made accidentally. One wintry af
ternoon, when a boy, i found a chicken
lying in a frozen pool of water. The half
of it that was frozen by the water was fro
zen stiff. I picked up the creature, took
it into the kitchen, and laid it on a stove a
minute to thaw out so that I might pluck it.
Presently it lifted its head and dropped it.
In a minnto or so its body fluttered. I
took it out and discovered that It was alive.
Now the explanation of the thing wan very
simple. The heat acted upon the nervous
centre of the chicken, these upon the heart,
this upon the blood. The blood began to
circulate,and the chicken began to breathe.
Of course the chicken had been dead. Eve
rybody knows how frozen lish come to life
again when warmed. A man digs a hole
in the ice, brings up some flopping picke
rel, and throws them on the ice. They are
soon frozen. But any fisherman will tell
you that after remaining frozen for two or
three days—weeks, foraughtl know—they
can bo resuscitated. Now it is the name
with the human body. Take agdrowned
man, wrap a warm blanket around him,
pour warm water —as warm as the flesh
w ill bear—on the blanket, produce an equal
ly distributed warmth in the body, and life
will be restored no matter if he has been
dead for days. Why I have saved a num
ber of cases. The first was that of a man
who fell off a boat in Lake Erie. The cap
tain followed my directions immediately,
j and they were successful. One summer
I drowned the same dog twenty times, and
brought him around all right each time.
You can take those dogs at the pond on
East river, warm them up well, and make
them alive again as easily as not. In cor
roboration of this assertion. Dr. Lambeth
pulled out a memorandum book, and pro
ceeded to read extracts from letters he had
received, and then recited instances of the
successful operation of the cure, lie is an
earnest believer in the doctrine of the possi
ble resuscitaton of tbe drowned body.
“Wrap it in flannel!” he exclaimed, “and
soak the flannel with warm water. That
is all!”

A party of young men traveling in Europe
had among them a citizen of our great re
public who was so thoroughly patriotic that
lie could see no excellence in the old
world as compared with his own country.
Mountains, water-falls, churches, and mou
rn ents scenery, and all other objects of inter
rest were inferior to w’fiat the United States
could show. His companions became some
what tired of his overweening boastfulness
and determined to “take him down a peg
or two. ” The party spent a winter in Home;
and one evening, having all things prepar
ed, they induced their yankee friend to join
a drinking bout, and so managed that they
kept sober while liegTit gloriously drank.
Thereupon they took him into the cata
combs, laid him carefully down, -with a
candle within in his reach, and retired a
short distance out of sight to await devel
opments. After a while their friend roused
up, having slept off his first drunken stu
por, and in state of some astonishment, be
gan endeavoring to locate himself, at the
same time muttering: ‘Well- hie - this’s
little strange. Wonder- hie —where I’m at,
anyway.’ lie got out a match, lit the candle,
and began to study his surroundings. On
each side wore shelves idled with grinning
skulls, and niches filled with skeletons,
while all about were piled legs, arms, ribs,
and vertebrae a ghastly army, anti alto
gether new to him. He nodded to the skulls
on one side with a drunken “How de do
—hie? and on the other with. “How do
i you feel anyway V’ took a look at his watch,
and once more at his surroundings got no
his feet, took off his hat, and holding it a
liov e his head remarked loud enough for
his friends to hear: All right;—hie—all
right. Morning of the resurrection, by
jingo! hie. First man on the gronml

Advice to a Young Man Another thing,
i son, you want to remember, that wearing
. twenty-two inches of coat, propped out
■ across sixteen inches of shoulders doesn’t
' make a gymnast of you by any means, any
more than a straight back, a mesured step
and a liurnside hat with a cord and acorn
gives you a war record. There have been
young men, aye, and old men, too, before
your time, who owed the tailor for their
chest and shoulders, and owed for them a
precious long time, too. There have been
young nun who could waltz tor an hour
and sixty-eight minutes without cnco sit
ting down to rest, who couldn’t saw enough
wood to warm a flannel cake, not if starva
■ tiou stared them in the face and tried to
! drive them to it. Don’t worry about your
i shape, sen. Men will admire your crooked
legs if your trousers are paid for, and if
your back is so lopsided that you have to
keep your helm hard a-port all the time to
keep from walking around the block to
starboard when you want to go straight
ahead, you’ll never think of it if you don’t
owe for the coat that lies in suohungainly
honc st wrinkl s across it. The man who
doesn’t owe, a dollar is a rich man, even if
he hasn't a crust to eat in the house. And
| don't borrow. If you can’t get along with
out having more than you’ve got,don’t bor
! row. You’ll feel better about it, and as a
| general thing, you will be more respected
' and less tormented.
An wspaperand a newspaper editor that
people don’t talk about and sometimes
alms are rather poor concerns. The man
and busint ss that an editor sometimes feels
it a duty to defend, at a risk of making ene
mies of another class. are often the very first
to show ingratitude. The editor who ex
pects to receive much charity or gratitude
will soon fi idout his mistake; but he should
go on and say and do what he conscien
tiously thinks right without regard to
frowns and smiles. —Exchange.
False modesty frequently deters women
from their share of love making. For fear
of over bold, they are apt to be over-shy,
and thus discourage attentions which they
secretly desire. Women are as well enti
tled as men to express their love, only each
cex has its own way—men with words, and
. women with manners.
