That's the beauty of a we'll
made suit of clothes; it
catches the eye. You know
exactly what we mean. Two
men pass you on the street.
One is fairly we'll dressed,
but you pay no particular
attention to his attire, be-
cause there is nothing about
it which appeals especially to
you. Why is it that you
give the other man some
thing more than a passing
glance? Not because he is
loudly dressed, but because
there is a certain finish about
what he wears that becomes
apparent to you at once.
You cannot mistake this fin
ish when-you see it. In an
instant it tells its own story
of intelligent design and
skilled workmanship. If you

most part a process of finding the
right path by tumbling into every
ditch on each side of the way" Can
it be claimed that our course even now
is less staggering and blindfold than
heretofore? Consider, for instance,
the precautions taken for the physical
development of the human race. 1t is
possible that in after ages u posterity
will look back with amazement to the
nineteenth century, when people in the

and means to developing the most
capable strains of domestic animals,

uatlOn of their own species to utterly
random haphazard. The mighty
Clydesdale dray-hOrse, the c with
lungs and legs enabling him to Outstrip
the hurricane, and the shaggy little
Shetland, are members of identically
the same species; in the two first,
