HOW A MAN'S GAHB MAY PROCLAIM
HIS RANK IN LIFE.
A riillosoplilral Tailor Tells How He Heads
Character as Well a Vocation In the
Men's Garments That Pass llefore Ills
Critical Kyo.
You limy tnlk about setting; knowlogo
of your fellow men through tho nrt of
phrenology or palmistry j nbout being utile
to roml tlio peoplo you meet by observing
tho linos about tho mouth, tho turn and
form of tlin noso or eiir or tho nhnpo unu
expression of tho human oyo, but I'll tell
you," Bald Frank S. Flanagan, proprlotor
of tlio rantorlum, "tliero 1b nothing so
clearly Indicative of a man's character as
the clothes lio wears. Wo clean and press
mon's clothing here, ami it is never nccos
Bnry for lilni to tell us his vocation In life.
Wo loarn it from his clothes. Wo know
whether ho Is married or single, ami it
married how much his wife thinks of him;
If single, whuthor ho lives at home or Is
boarding. Uo Is no mystery to us. Wo
know whotliorho is a doctor, lawyer, news,
paper man, gambler, prlost, collogo pro
fessor, merchant, actor or what not. Wo
can tell whether ho Is bowlegged nervous
or indifferent. If ho likes children or is
lu Invo, his clothes bear that telltale. In
fact you never know a man until you
clean him. When I get my hands on a
man's suit of clothes, ho Is no longir un
known to mo.
You tako tho ministers. Of courso
they all wear a garb thnt Is significant of
their calling. Tho back of tho coats they
bring hero to bo fixed aro always shining
like a plate glass mirror. Their lapels aro
outof lino from much pulllngand hauling
to lmprovo tholr appearance. Their trou
sorn slilno, too, witli n brilliancy that
peaks of long vigils and hours of prayer,
with porhaps an extra polish obtained In
putting down carpets or too frcnuont rub
bing with tho palms of tho hands, smack
ing their legs in laughter while cracking
jokes. Thoy do not wear croases length
wise In tholr trousors pressed by tho Iron,
but tho creases circle around tho logs.
That's causod by holding tho children on
his lap. I'sluiwl You can always tell a
nroachor s clothes.
Tho lawyer's olotlics aro almost as easi
ly distinguished as the proachcr's. Tho
scat of his trousors Is always thin. You
sco, ho generally sits on a wooden or cano
bottom chair. This part of his trousors is
only an adumbration. If the nolo Is worn
completely through, ho adopts ono or two
measures. Ho clthor wears a longer coat
or has his pants 'halt soled.' If ho wears
a longer coat to hldo tho laxity of his ap
parel, ho Is continually grabbing tho bot
torn edgo of it to keep tho wind from tils
closing his secret. If ho hns his trousers
patched and continues to wear his saok
coat, ho looks shamefaced and backs out
of ono's presenco llko a tumblcbug. And
then, too, tho insldo coat pocket of a law
yor is always full of papers. This makes
tho pocket sag, and It soon gets out of
shape. The elbows of tho lawyer's coat
are always shiny. In studying ho puts his
hoad in his hands and rests his elbows on
tho tablo.
I can tell a doetor too. His olothos,
whllo generally clean and well preserved,
have the smell of Iodoform about them.
Then, too, ho always loavos his clothes to
bo fixed at a certain hour. Other mon call
for tholr clothos about on tlmo. Not bo
with tho physlolan. Ho is always two or
throe hours Iuto. Ho is vory opt to lcavo
a small vial of morphine tablots in his
vest pookot.
A most peculiar suit of clothes Is worn
by tho pickpocket yos, I have them for
customers too. His pockets are as numer
ous us tho political plo huntors. Pockets
on tho insldo of pockets. Pockets under
tho waistband. Pockets ovorywhero. I
nover saw tho llko of places to conceal
stolen articles. He might bo searched a
hundred times and still retain his 'swag.'
I wish you could havo seen n pair of pants
I fixed up for ono of those circus grafters.
That pair of pants just had exactly 42
pockots.
"Gamblers and liquor dealers havo
mora neatness nbout their dress tlinn any
others. They drebs In more ostentation
than tho men of other callings. Tho gam
bler generally leaves cards or poker chips
in his pockets, and I havo no trouble in
finding hlin out. ,
"Tako tho grocery man, for Instance
His clothes smell of almost everything
from flsh to peppormlnt candy. They aro
more or less soiled from coming in con
taotwlth lard and other greasy substances.
They wear an apron in front, which pro
tects that part of the suit.
"It's funny to 6eo tho newspaper man's
clothos. Ho don't havo tlmo for tho uso
of a coat. There aro two full moons In
his pantaloons, arid nory a patch Is there.
His trousers nro fringed at tho bottom,
oud ho generally wears his pants turned
up. Ho is fairly neat in appearance that
is, keeps his clothes clean, because ho sel
dom has mimi than ono suit.
"Tho bowleggtd man is a daisy. Ha
likes his trousers creased in order that ho
may appoar straight limbed. He sits tight
in tlio snddle of his pants. His suspenders
aro short. Tho buttons on his trousers
havo hard servioo. Ills vest is shorter
than othorwise, but tho point of tho knoe
to tho sido of the crenso gives hi in com-,
plot ely away. That may lie tho reason that
women llko bowlogged men, because thoy
koep tholr pants pressed nnd creased.
"Tho college professor tin neat clothes,
but in them you will find lino particles of
chalk dust, eto.
Old Commodore Vonderbllt, whoso

Nnturo originally ' Intended that tho
brown rat should havo one part of tho
earth for Its habitation, the black rat an
other section and tliowhlto bellied rodents
tions overlapped' each other n little, their
third division. Wlilio tneso great na
boundaries were pretty arbitrarily llxed by
tho great oceans and other lurgo bodies of
water. A colony of powerful rats might
swim across tho straits and channels sep
arating two Inlands and thus take posses
sion of a now country for their descend
ants, but they could not hope to cross the
Atlantic or l'aclllo ami journey unaided
from England to America or from this
country to Australia.
Ho It was that the ships of men brought
about tho llrst great change in the distri
bution of rats. From tho first tho rats
took to ships as duoks tako to water. They
found grain, provisions and water in the
hulls of tho old wooden ships of two cen
turies ago, and ever slnco then they have
rcarod a race of hardy soamcn that know
tho ways of tho ocean us well as any Jaok
Tar. They havo been traveling back utid
forth to all parts of tho eurth for many
centuries now, and they have created great
ohangos In tho rnt population of tho globe.
This country nover had any typical rats
until tho old black English rat camo ovor
hero on the ships of tho early colonists.
According to the liest authorities, this ro
llout originally camo from India, from
which it has ponctrated to every part of
tho habltablo globo. Wherover ships go
those black rats aro found. In throo con
tUmr l.ntrn n.n.tall In ,lr,. I
lfitul nnrl Ulnnil nf tlm trnnlrml. tnmnnrnt.n t
nnil nrctio zones. Thoy liuvo boootno fa
miliar objects on nil ships that traverse tlio
Bens, nlid thoy nro tho vvhnrf rats of every
seaport. In tcnipcrnto regions tho English
black rat Is of a bluish black, but In trop
lonl countries it is ofton several shades
llRhtor. It is about sovon or eight luohes
long, with a tail nbout ono inch longer
than Its body.
For two conttirics this English black
rnt held undisputed .sway on tho ships of
tho world's commercial nnvlos, and they
distributed thomselvos ovor tho greater
part of tho world's surfaco. Thon gradu
ally thero npprared upon tho seas another
rat, differing materially from tho blook
rat. This alien cronturo had a black body
with a white belly. Somotlmes tho body
was a roddlsh gray, which mndo tho croa
turo look larger and fiercer than It roally
was. A trlilo larger and stranger than tho
black rat, tho whlto bellied or Aloxandrian
rat mado war upon tho English rodents.
Tho two would never ship upon tho sumo
vessel. Thoro would bo a war to tlio death
before tho shin left port, and after that
thn successful raco would hold undisputed
sway on that partloular vossol. This new
race of -rats camo from tho tropical conn
tries. Every ship that started from Gala
pagos, Keeling or Ascension island was
suro to carry away with it n company of
tho whlto bellied rats. They would board
tho ship as soon as sho was tied up at the
wharf, nnd tho English black rats would
bo ruthlessly destroyed. Thon the florcor
Alexandrian rats would sail away to un
known ports. It soon bocamo ovldent
that thoy liked warm countries, and they
refused to land at any excopt n tropical
port. Thus thoy havo spread to noarly all
tropical countrios, especially in South
America and our southern states, leaving
the colder countrios for their black rivals.
But moro recently n third race of rats
hns appeared upon tho ships, and these
threaten to exterminate nnd displace both
tho black and Alexandrian rodents This
brown or Norway rnt is n natlvo of China
and tho interior of Asia. It is n huge,
forocious cronturo, and wherover it goes It
dostroys all competitors nnd takes com
plete possession of tho ships or wharfs.
In Its natlvo land It is n large, powerful
rodont, and upon tho ships it attains even
a larger size. Its length is from oight to
nine Inches, and its body is built on heavy
lines. Neither tho black nor Alexandrian
rat is any inatch for it. So far this largo
brown rnt has oxtendod Its dominion
largely over cold countries, nnd it has
come In contact chiefly with tho English
black rat. Dut in tho warm countrios
whore It has boon artificially introduced it
has quickly supplanted all rivals.
Today tho blnck rats aro not found In
numbers on vossols sailing from any porta
whoro tho brown or Norway rats havo be
come ostablshod. Gradually they aro be
ing forcod Inland by their more powerful
enemies, and, while wo find tho brown
rnts mostly on ships, along wharfs nnd
In tho sewers, tho black ruts aro met with
