Best Dressed Man in the World.
The majority of men believe that
the best and most fashionable in
men's clothes comes from London;
and that the best dressed man in the
world is the American turned out by
a London tailor. -
An American who spends a great
part of his time in London, ana is
rather a stickler for the correct thing,
was recently hailed on Broadway by
a friend with the remark, "So that's
what they're wearing in London, eh?"
The man addressed shook his head.
"Su;t made in Washington, overcoat
in New York," he said. "Thought
you were togged out from Bond
Street, sure," in a disappointed tone.
Then the man who lives much in Lon
don made this radical announcement:
"They can't make a sack suit in Eng
land. You ask a Bond Street tailor
for an American business suit with
an American fit, and he turns out a
NEW FRENCH MOTO
coat that gives you a cared-in chest
when it's buttoned up and a decidedly
open front when it's unbuttoned."
Yet some West End tailoring estab
lishments in London depend for their
very existence on American trade, not
alone the trade of Americans travel
ing abroad, but a mail order business
which entails making on measure
ments and forwarding by express,
likewise payment of duty. So impor
tant is this business that a cable code
has been arranged. With this code,
a complete catalog and full directions
for self measurement, a man may
cable his order to London, and feel
reasonably certain that the clothes he
wants will leave England by the next
westward bound steamer.
One traveler from a firm in London
making a specialty of cable orders re
cently visited New York and booked
orders to the amount of six thousand
pounds sterling. But this class ol
business is all in "semi-ready"
clothing, a system which has been
adonted from American tailors.
Yet the American "ready-made" has'
been a subject of laughter on the
other side: and the New Yorker's
claim to be the, "best dressed man in
the world," has been received with
jeers. To the foreigner the idea of a
man who has literally "no time" to
devote to matters sartorial being well
dressed is absurd-and the New
Yorker has no time. HeT can't wait
for clothes to be made by a "custom"
tailor.
When he needs a suit he dashes into
one of those immense haberdasheries
that dot both sides of Broadway fro'n
the Battery to the Bronx, wac
thousands of "ready for service' s
and overcoats are iled on long ta es
in stacks that rise above a maa a
head. Here are foun-t prices and sizes
to fit every customer. Sack suits
from Sil to $50 advertised for cut and
.emartness. They are smart, too, are
better cut and sewn than the English
cheap suit, but the latter is mnade of
better material. It is just this differ'
ence that makes the American crowd
look smart and prosperous, while the
English crowd look~s merely comfort
The Newv Yorker must look prosper
ous. It is part of his stock in trade.
ils clothes must not appear old any
more than his face. This demand for
youth and freshness is what makes It
possible for some firms to sell as high
as 7.v00 suits in a day. Hats and
shoes get even more attention than
clothes. The ancient saw. "When
broke buy a new hat." is so thorough'
ly appreciated by the New Yorker
that he receives without even a grin
such advertisements as that which
puzzled Count Witte as he walked
down Broadway. "Fall Lids for
Faded Faces," it read. "Fail," mut
tered the Russian diplomat with a
look of weary amazement. "fail, that
means to tumble down, does it not?"
Some one explained that "fall" was
the America' for the season which all
other nations ktnow as autumn.
Last winter a leadling London daily
gave a column ('very morning to the
discussion of 'Tihe Fetish of the
Biack Coat." Every clerk and sales
man in London wears a frock, or
Prirnce Albert. dlurin-t his work. and,
like the English artisan. he w'ears rhe
costumn'e of his trade after hours. For
weeks members of: Parliament and
celebrities in many lines argued in

the public press as to which system
was better: the American custom
which ordained the sack suit in busi
ness and a change of raiment for
laborers after hours; or the English
custom which set the frock coat up
as the emblem of respectability among
tradesmer., a marlk distinguishing
them from the laboring classes and
kept the latter in blouse and hob
nailed hoots during his hours of rest.
In England they talk a lot of what
seems awful rot to this side of the
water, and they take clothes very
seriously. Each class has its gar
meuts and each garment its use.
T.i London the Tuxedo is still a
lounge coat, something to be slipped
on during the early evening and dis
carded for the formal "swallow tail"
before starting for any entertainment.
But the American has forced it into
public life, has ordained a black tie
and gold shirt studs with it, in place

of the white tie and pearl studs that
must be worn with the tailed coat.
The American speaks of his Tuxedo
suit and his dress suit. The English
man talks of his evening clothes, and
would as soon think of changing his
trousers to match his smoking jacket,
as of changing his studs and tie to
accord with his Tuxedo.
While the vast majority of men buy
their clothes "ready" or "semi-ready"
made, most men regard with envy the
one who has time and money to have
his clothes made and fitted. The En
glishman of means considers it his
duty to have his clothes made by the
very best tailors and to wear them as
badly as possible. As he can rarely
remain long at a time %; hin his own
country, London custom tailors have
stored in their safes measurements of
hundreds of wandering Britons who
usually cable from various parts of
the world when they need new
lothes. These measurements are a
valuable asset and insurance on them
frequently amounts to several thou'
sand pounds sterling.
As a matter of fa t, the best dressed
man in the world is neither the New
Yorker nor the Londoner, but the man
who gets his frock coat, cutaway and
evening clothes from the Bond Street
tailors, who have made these styles
f masculine dress for centuries, and
his sack suits and overcoats from
Fifth Avenue, where one might say
hey were invented.
Kew Clothes for Easter.
The flowers with which many church
s are ornamented on Easter Day are
nost probably emblems of the Resur
ection. There are people today who
hink that unless something new is

he Dorsetshire1 poet, Barnes, gives us
his quaint little verse in regard to
his custom:

F'rom a iigh poitt we caught sight of a

Next day was Hallowe'en. the anni
versary of Snap's advent. The weather
was ch-ar, b-right. not too cold, an'] there
was no snow on the ground. The men
usually (-eli-brated the daiy with a hunt

were the one object. To the disappoint

it was to lie.

in and stunp-waggling, up to my Horse's
side. I could not se4nd him hack; he would
take no such ordhers, not even from mue.
Illis wound was looking had, so I called
hin, held down the <quirt, and lumped
him to my saddle.
"There.'' I thought. "I'll ke'p yoc safe
till we get hone." Yr-s, I thought: but
I r-ckoiined not with Snap. The voice
of Hilton, "H, hu," announced that he
had sighted a Wolf. Dander and Riley,
his rival, both sprang to the point of
observation, with the result that they
collided and fell together, sprawling, in
the sage. But Snap, gazing hard, had
sighted the Wolf, not so very far of,
and before I knew it, he leaped front
the saddle and bounded zigzig, high, low,
in and under the sage, straight for the
t'enmy, leading the whole lack for a few
minutes. Not far, of course. The great
G reyhounds sighteil the moving speek, and
the usual procession strung out oi the liain.
It proinised to be a tine ount, for the Wolf
had less than half a uile start and all
the Dogs wer' fully interested.
"They've turned up Grizzly Gully.'' cried
Garvin. ''This way, and we can hieal
them off."
We galloped to the top of Cedar Ridge
and were about to ride dowi, when Hilton

Story of a Desperate Hand to Hanc
Encounter Against Heavy Odds.
Now and then among the brutali
ties and criies that Ioram the enei
subjects of daily journalism in tai
country, there comnes an item tnal
not only appeals to our morbid naturt
but gets in close to the primal lov(
of n"ght which springs eternal in the
human animal. M1ost of us have nc
feeling except of loathing in the cast
of the secret assassination of six Ital
ians in Minneapolis, ibecause their
modes of fight are Latin in a country
of Anglo-Saxon prejudices. But jus1
a week before, the press dispatches
frm Bristol, Tennessee, told of thE
sudden demise of seven Italians whc
with others had conspired to murdei
their section foreman, because he was
a "hard boss." Doubtless he was!
Nevertheless, the old fighting blooc
tingles at the bare account of the bat
tLie that the foreman, Haverly, whosE
name suggests his nationality, waged
single-handed against the body of la
borers that "rushed" him. Had hE

Backed against an embankment, hE

entire gang of laborers, all bent on hi
murder, and armed, against him, witb

of killing may be, one can scarcely
help a thrill at the thought of the fore
man, Haverly, at bay like a knight o:
former days, fighting for his life, and
so sturdily and valiantly laying about

the laborers, rising like desperatE
slaves against a tyrant, had in storE

believe because the innate love foi

perate courage and physical prowess.
Little Cannibals.
Every once in a while we hear of
breeders complaining of the cannibal
istic habits among growing fowls. espe.
3ally among those still in the days of
:heir early babyhood. This pernicious
aabit. when once the young birds be
:ome thoroughly addicted to it, is rath
r difficult to control and suppress.
Esually it finds its chief expression in
locks confined to close quarters, where
:he ground is bare and the feed is
vanting in animal matter. Bird life
mder natural conditions finds oppor
unity for work and play in the hunt
ng of insects for food and in the care
ul selection of such vegetable mat
er as its system may demand. Young
hicks, when confined, are obviously
leprived of these opportunities for a
ealthful exercise; the result is that
hey become idle, which engenders
icious habits and a craving for some
hing to do as well as for animal food.
Then in this condition if a member
f the little flock shows a wound or
ifects of blood, the chances are that
nc or two will at once commence to
eck at it, which leads the others on,
.nd soon the whole flock will be rend
ng the little one into shreds, devour
ng it before one has opportunity to re
leve its misery or to isolate it from
he flock. The remedy, of course, is
bious, namely, afford the young
hicks a wider range and be more care
ul in your feeding by making it a
oint to keep them busy by throwing
he food into litter or suspendling a
ead of lettuce or cabbage where thxey

0 (10 this is to take the underground
cratching chick feeds, which of them

occasion decay remain in the meat
while frozen, and that they actually
carry on their work, although at a
greatly reduced rate.
In one of the cold storage plants in,
Cleveland some meat was recently
found which had been mislaid and for
gotten for a period of eleven years. It
was sent to the department and a por
tion thawed out and examined.
Decay had gone on to such an extent
that the meat was entirely ur for
use. The greater portion of it was
again placed in storage and the obser
vation will be continued. The fact that
the meot. having been frozen for eleven
years, was in a condition of decay is
held to conclusively prove that the
bacteria can work in the meat while
frczen. The object of the investigation
is to ascertain at what point the decay
has progressed to such an extent as to
injur' :he food value -' the ,rticle
stored.
There is at present no law prohibit
ing the storage of any article for any
length of time. The only law upon the
subject is one that requires fowls to be
drawn before they are placed in stor
age.
The Oregon's Big Pennant.
When the Oregon left Hongkong re
cently, after her long period of service
on the Asiatic station, she was flying a.
homeward-bound pennant over 500 feet
in length. It was necessary to support
this long strea-ar by two small bal
loons tied to the end to keep it out of
the water. The pennant was made of
silk thread and attracted much atten
tion in the Asiatic port.
In the old days it was the custom to
have a foot of pennant for every day o.
the cruise. That of the Oregon is probs
ably one of the longest displayed fromi
the mast of a home-coming ship, al
though it is on record that the old
Brooklyn, on one occasion upon her ar
rival in New York, displayed a pennant.
700 feet long.
