Found Under the Rocks.
Six weeks ago three men were killed
at one of the quarries of the American
Lime Compsuy, Bellefonte, one of
whom was only partly covered by the
thousands of tous of rock that fell. The
body of the second Italian, George
Borango, was secured Wednesday of
last week. The workmen are in hopes
of finding the other unfortunate man’s
remains almost any day.

Moving the Spicher House,
Prof. C. R. Neff, of Millheim, pur-
chased the Spicher house, on the south
gide of the Boalsburg road, and will
have it rolled to the north side of the
road near Bartges’ woods where it will
form the rear part of a handsome
brick-cased house contemplated to be
erected at that point.
The Neff farm will be or has been
divided between the two brothers—
Prof. C. R. and Charles B.—the latter
to occupy the old homestead and the
greater portion north of the road, and
the former the part south of the road.
The Spicher house in question was
erected about forty years ago, but was
never occupied.

Errand and Takes $2000,
Two thousand dollars, intended to
pay the employes of the Puritan mine,
was stolen ¥riday from the engine
house, where it had been placeo tem-
porarily, and the thief made his
escape.
General Manager George Beott, of
the Colonial Company, with head-
quarters in Philadelphia, drove from
Philipsburg to Puritan with the
money on the morning mentioned
aud while he was making an inspec-
tion of the mines he left the money in
charge of the engineer and fireman,
who locked it in a tool box.
Hearcely had Mr. Beott left the eu-
gine room, when a supposed miner
rushed in and said that Mr Beott
wanted to see the engineer aud fire-
man in the mine. When they return-
ed from what proved to be a fool's
errand the tool box was open and the
money gone,
It is supposed that the robber lay in
wait for Mr. Beott, but the opportun-
ity for holding bim up did not present
itself, and he secured the money by &
clever ruse.

MALE DRISS REFORM
IT IS HOPELESSLY HAMPERED BY THE
STIFF WHITE SHIRT.
The Way This Garment Interferes
With Hoth Health and Comfort.
Some of the Absurdities of the Pres-
ent Masculine Style of Attire.
The necessity by which men feel co-
erced of proving to the world that they
wear white shirts lles at the basis of
all the difficulties of the dress problem,
Until the garment becomes extinct
it 18 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
fiere was an obvious advantagé in
making publie display of it.
We may put down three-fourths of
the discomfort of the hot summer to
the account of the 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 hip-
ders this natural process in summer,
the white shirt favors disease, But In
winter it is a fruitful cause of {liness.
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 his own satisfac-
tion tut the curious law of evolution
comes in and compels him to wear it
in such & way as to do himself physical
injury.
Wherever is at work It
leaves literally, footprints.
Probably it 1s millions of years since
the vermiform appendix became a use-
organ, but it still survives. All
evolutionary survivals appear to be
harmful. The appendix is the seat of
appendicitis. In the inner corner of
the eve there Is the remnant of a once
useful third 11d, which now only lodges
dust and causes irritation.

Making Love Up a Tree.
Billing and cooing among the Fijians
is a curious featurg in their social cus-
toms. It is decidedly agalnst the rule
to do any courting within doors. The
gardens or plantations are the spots
held sacred to Cupid, and the generally
approved trysting place of lovers is
high up among the branches of a
breadfruit tree. You may often walk
around a plantation on a moonlight
night and see couples perched forty
feet from the ground in the breadfruit
trees, one on each side of the trunk, a
position which comes fairly within the
limits of a Fijian maiden’'s ideas of
modesty.
