FASHIONABLE CLOTHES.
The Cost of the Average Metropolitan So-
 ciety Swelrs Wardrobe.

The Cost of the Average Metropolitan So. ciety Swells Wardrobe.
 A tailor who makes clothes for fash l ionable young men-and fashionable old ! men. too, for that matter-says that marked change has come over the meth eds of some of his customers during the last yea or two. It used to be the proper thing for rich men to make con- tracts with their tailors for years sup ply of clothes at so much per year. They got a new suit and wore it as long as it looked fresh; then they would take it back and obtain a new one in its stead, and so they were able to go through the year in well-dressed way. It was an English custom that the gentlemen imported, and it was considered quite the necessary way for several years, till suddenly somebody began to suspect that it was not quite as economical as some other plan might be. The same thing dawned on lots of other people soon after, and that ended the custom. A rich mans tailor-made wardrope on this plan used to cost anywhere from S1 900 to 5000 per year, Tn exceptional cases, of course, amounting much higher. It was bonanza for the tailor, whose hot fiatirons seldom failed to make creas- ed suit returned by one customer bright and fresh enough for another.
 Now rich men are paying for their clothes as they get them, at so much per suit. The old style, which did not amount to more than a renting of the clothes, and which went under on the score of economy, makes way for a new scheme, which, if the tailors are to be believed, is a good deal more expen- sive.
 ''The average swell in New York SO. ciety," says he writer, ''is spending now from S1,500 to S2,000 year on his tailor if he is cutting any figure at all. Men do not know much about the cost of clothes and the expenses of man. ufacture. Show man a coat that costs $20 and another that costs $70, and he will seldom hesitate to pay the $50 diff ference to get the higher-priced gar. ment."
 A physician, who is known uptown as the attendant upon some well-known families, was presented some time ago by an English manufacturer with a piece of cloth for pair of trousers. He took the cloth to his tailor and ordered it made up. When the panta- looms were sent him bill came with them for S30. He dropped in to pay the bill, and with smile that seemed based on the well-grounded belief that his tailor had blundered he pointed out the figures and suggested that some body had made mistake. The tailor looked the bill over and said he guessed not; the bill was all right. Trousers of that sort were worth $50.
 But furnished the cloth" persisted the doctor.
 "Oh, the cloth. That is matter of small consequence, said the tailor. "We never charge for the cloth. Our fit and our reputation are what make pantaloons cost in this establishment N. T. Tunes.

BLOOD WILL TELL.
Pedigree a Better Guide in the Selection
 of Animals Than Appearance.

Pedigree a Better Guide Tn the SelectlOn
 of Animals lhan Appearance.
 It is remarkable how closely half. blood steer will sometimes resemble a full-blood. Usually there are marks, especially about the horns, that unmis- takably indicate the inferior blood cours- ing in the veins of the animal. But oc- casionally one is met that may deceive. by it's external appearance, even the sharpest expert. This shows how hard it is to judge an animal on its own in- dividual merit, which is the favorite idea with many. This is all very well, as far as it goes, but unless something is known about pedigree, it is very easy to be grossly deceived. The outcome, if this is the only guide in selecting for breeding purposes, may be very disap- pointing. The likeliest looking bull or COW may breed the most un- likely calf; and right here comes in another point that is almost as deceptive as judging the animal wholly on Its individual merits. The young may not give any sure indication of what they will ultimately develop into An ungainly, scrawny-looking calf may develop into one of the most beautiful and valuable of animals; while an admirably well-formed and pleasing looking calf may grow up to be an ob. 1ect of sore disappointment. Instead of preserving its regular proportions, it may fill out in a most unaccountably angular shape. Here apparent individ- ua1 merit again fails to be a reliable guide We must know something about the blood in order to reach any thing like satisfactory conclusion. It is better guide than individual appearances by itself. .-Natto1sGL Live- Stock Journal.

Kid Bed-QuiIts.

One of the very latest ideas for ladies whose time hangs heavy on their hands is to make a patchwork bedcover of the backs of discarded kid gloves. To match and combine the colors, both of the kid and the ornamental stitching. and to fit in the shapes. afford an occupation far more fascinating and prolonged than ''crazy patchwork. " When finished, the quilt must be lined with delicate soft silk or satin. It will really then look little nearer to being worth the trouble of making it than might be imagined London NeiOs
