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 18
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.
“Suit 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

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
tradesmen, a mark distinguishing
them from the laboring classes and
kept the latter in blouse and hob-
nailed boots 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-
ments and each garment its use:
In 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

ANIMAL HEROES.)

The Thrilling Story of “Sfap” the
Bull Terrier.
Ernest Thompson Seton's last book,
“‘ Animal heroes’’, is, if possibly, more than
ever up to the standard of hif intensly in-
teresting wild-animat tales. "To the animal
lover this new collection will be read with
absorbing attention. Mr. Sdon has been
subjected to considerable critgism by other
naturalists, notably, John Xurroughs, for
endowing his animal charaders h mn-
usual intelligence and powers, which, it is
claimed, gre not possessed [by any dumb
creatures,’ Very likely, as A class, but, as
Mr. Setop himself admits in his preface to
“‘ Animat Heroes’’; these higtories, while in
each cast founded on thé {etual life-doings
of a realanimal, are more gr less composite,
What nwvelist, indeed, (pes not combine
the mos! striking charactfristics of several
individutls to construct his human hero,
who shgll appeal to thefreadér as an ex-
ceptionglly fine characterf So has Mr, Se-
ton tak:n the record of number of wood
or oth¢r animals and embodied their most
strikinz ‘‘kills’’ or Jorifgs of the pack into
one sagacious, brave and gigantic specimen,
Like all of his books, ‘‘Animal Heroes’’
is delightfully illustrated by some two-hun-
dred drawings and sketches from his own
and his wife's pencils. Interest is stimu-
lated by a constant syccession of marginal
drawings, liberally interspersed with full
page paintings of thililling incidents. The
story of good-hunting, of fierce pursuit, of
fatal closing in—sometimes to the pursued,
sometimes to the rursuer—is told by an
eye-witness wielding a master pen in de-
pictng animal adventures, and at all
tires runs throuzh the story the lové
whch the writer bears for all animals—of
the proud, indomitablé, fearless beast
evin though he be the scourge of the
contry, a killer of cattle or sheep or even
degs, of which latter the author is pas-
sitnately fond, be they good ones.
Nothing hie discusses has ever been writ:
tn which is better worth the reading, and
vithal sadder in its finale than is the ac-
unt in this volume of the little dog,

coat that gives you a caved-in chest
when it’s buttoned up and a deeidedly
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 AB - IReaspre-
ments _and~ &Fwarding by express,
~Jike¥e 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 oi
business is all in “semi-ready
clothing, a system which has been
adopted 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. He 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 from
the Battery to the Bronx, where
thousands of “ready for service” suits
and overcoats are piled on long tables
in stacks that rise above a man’s
head. Here are found prices and sizes
to. fit every customer. Sack suits
from $3 to $50 advertised for cut and
smartness. They are smart, too, are
better cut and sewn than the English
cheap suit, but the latter is made of
better material. It is just this differ-
ence that makes the American crowd
look smart and prosperous, while the
English crowd looks merely comfort:
able,
The New Yorker must look prosper-
ous. It is part of his stock in trade.
His 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 7,000 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. “Fall,” mut-
tered the Russian diplomat with a
look of weary amazement, “fall, that
means to tumble down, does it not?”
Some one explained that “fall” was
the American for the season which all
other nations know as autumn.
Last winter a leading London daily
gave a column every morning to the
discussion of ‘The Fetish of the
Black Coat.” Every clerk and sales-
man in London wears a frock, or
Prince Albert, during his work, and,
like the English artisan, he wears the
costume of his trade after hours. For

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 within 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
clothes. These measurements are a

sand pounds sterling.
As a matter of fact; 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
of masculine dress for centuries, and
his sack suits and overcoats from
Fifth Avenue, where one might say
they were invented.

New Clothes for Easter.
The flowers with which many church-
es are ornamented on Easter Day are
most probably emblems of the Resur-
rection. There are people today who
think that unless something new is
worn on Easter Day no good fortune
will come to them during the year.
The Dorsetshire poet, Barnes, gives us
this quaint little verse in regard to
this custom:
“Laste Easter I put on my blue frock

That glittered in the zun like glass;

later, the two found themselves near Men-
doza, North Dakota where the wolves had
been playing havoc with the live-stock,
evading poison and traps and actually
scorning thg attempts of the ranchers and

the wolvery to exterminate them. The fol-
lowing is fa recital of the hunt in which
“Snap” figured most gloriously:
From a [high point we caught sight of a
moving Speck of gray. A moving white
speck stands for Antelope, a red speck for
Fox, a gray speck for either Gray-wolf or
Coyote, fand each of these is determined

Sarcastic remarks and recrimination were

That night several Cows were killed

close to the ranch, and we were spurred
on to another hunt.
It opened much like the last. Late in
the afternoon we sighted a gray fellow
with tail upy not half a mile off. As we
rose to the upland and sighted the chase
half a mile off, Dander, the greyhound,
came up with the Wolf and snapped at
his haunch. The Gray wolf turned round
to fight, and we had a fine view. The
Dogs came up by two and threes, barking
at him in a ring, till last, Snap, the
little white one rushed up. He wasted
no time barking, but rushed straight at
the Wolf's throat and missed it, yet
seemed to get him by the nose; then the
ten big Dogs closed in, and in two minutes
the wolf was dead. Snap“had lived up
to my promises for him.
Now it was my turn te crow, and I did
not lose the chance. Snap had shown
them how, and at last the Mendoza
pack had killed a Gray-wolf without help
from the men. :
There were two things to mar the
victory somewhat; first, it was a young
Wolf, a mere Cub; second, Snap was
wounded—the Wolf had given him a bad
cut in the shoulder.
As we rode in proud procession home,
I saw he limped a lttle. ‘‘Here,”’ I
cried, ‘‘ come up, Snap.’’ He tried once
or twice to jump to the saddle, but could
not. ‘‘Here, Hilton, lift him up to me.’’
““Thanks; I'll let you handle your own
rattlesnakes,’’ was the ig for all knew
now that it was not safe to meddle with
his person. ‘‘Here, Snap, take hold,’’ I
said, and held my gquirt to him. He
seized it, and by that I lifted him to the
front of my saddle and so carried him
home. He had shown those Cattle-men
how to fill the weak place in their pack;

THE FIGHTING INSTINCT.
Story of a Desperate Hand to Hand
Encounter Against Heavy odds.
Now and then among the brutali-
ties and crimes that torm the chief
subjects of daily journalism in this
country, there comes an item that
not only appeals to our morbid nature
but gets im close to the primal love
of fight which springs eternal in the
human animal. Most of us have no
feeling exeept of loathing in the case
of the secret assassination of six Ital-
ians in Minneapolis, because their
modes of fight are Latin in a country
of Anglo-Saxon prejudices, - But just
a week before, the press dispatches
froma Bristol, Tennessee, told of the
sudden demise of seven Italians who
with others had conspired to murder
their section foreman, because he was
“hard bose” Doubtless he was!
Nevertheless, the old fighting blood
tingles at the bare account of the bat-
tle that the foreman, Haverly, whose
name suggests his nationality, waged
¢| single-handed against the body of la-
borers that “rushed” him. Had he
been armed with a revolver, he would
have no sympathy, but he depended on
the first weapon at hand—a crowbar.

Every once in a while we hear of
1, | breeders complaining of the cannibal-
istic habits among growing fowls. espe-
cially among those still in the days of
their early babyhood. This pernicious
habit, when once the young birds be-
come thoroughly addicted to it, is rath-
difficult to control and suppress.
Usually it finds its chief expression in
flocks confined to close quarters, where
the ground is bare and the feed is
wanting in animal matter. Bird life
under natural conditions finds oppor-
tunity for work and play in the hunt-
ing of insects for food and in the care-
ful selection of such vegetable mat-
ter as its system may demand. Young
chicks, when confined, are obviously
deprived of these opportunities for a
healthful exercise; the result is that
they become idle, which engenders
vicious habits and a craving for some-
thing to do as well as for animal food.
When in this condition if a member
of the little flock shows a wound or
effects of blood, the chances are that
one or two will at once commence to
peck at it, which leads the others on,
and soon the whole flock will be rend-
ing the little one into shreds, devour-
ing it before one has opportunity to re-
lieve its misery or to isolate it from
the flock. The remedy, of course, is
obvious, namely, afford the young
chieks a wider range and be more care-
ful in your feeding by making it a
point to keep them busy by throwing
the food into litter or suspending a
head of lettuce or cabbage where they
can peck at it; also supply in one form
or another animal food. A good way
to do this is to-take the underground
scratching chick feeds, which of them-
selves are a balanced ration, and scat-
ter the same in a litter of chopped

found which had been mislaid and for-
gotten for a period of eleven years. If
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 meat, having been frozen for eleven
years, was in a condition of decay is
held to conclusively prove that the
bactéria can work in the meat while
frozen. The object of the investigation
is to ascertain at what point the decay
has progressed to such an extent as to
injurc the food value 57 the article
stored.
There is at present no iaw prohibits
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 streamer 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 prob
ably one of the longest displayea from
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.
