'It is wonderful how cheap clothing
is in Japan" said H. Milton Smythe,
of Chicago, to reporter. 81 have
recently been in Toxic, Yokohamma
and other Japanese cities and I found
could buy English-made clothing at
about the same retail prices it brings
in London. The reason of this is that
by treaty with England only five per
cent. in duty is charged and the
freight on a large consignment does
not materially add to the cost.
"Clothes made to order are equally
cheap. The tailoring is done by Chi
nese by piece work at prices an Amer
lean could not make living at, and
if you are not satisfied with the fit
you do not take it. You can get a
good business suit of imported cloth
made to order for $40. A fur-lined
overcoat, with beaver collar, can be
had for $50, which amount would not
pay for the material in this country.
Ladies' cloaks, silk and other dress
goods are equally cheap, and embroi-
dered silk crepe gowns can be obtain
ed cheaper than the commonest of
dresses here. Clothing is so cheap
that anybody can save the cost of the
trip by laying in supply"

the superauous leg has nearly kept
pace with the growth of the rest of the
body, but it is not little strange that
the weight or presence of this extra
member seems to give the colt no in.
convenience or incumbrance whatever.
He is as happy and frisky a piece OF
horse flesh as ever was seen. Without
the ffth leg protruding from his head
he would be judged an extra finely
shaped colt, and there is not the
slightest indication that he will not
attain matured growth. Chicago

Dairying,

Dairy farming is less exhaustive
than grain farming. The sale of but
ter removes nothing from the soil. In
fact, by dairying the lost fertility of
the soil may be restored. While the
prices of dairy products are undoubt-
sdly low, yet dairying is still the most
profitable branch of farming. Figures
collected by the Canadian Govern
ment show that during the past ten
years prices for grain have fallen over
thirty per cent. (; during the same
period prices for butter and cheese
have fallen less than SIX per cent,
This shows conclusively the relative
position of these two great branches
Of farming.
But while there is still money in
iairying, it is to be found only in the
better grades. Nobody wants poor
butter. 1t is the realization of this
truth which has led to the establish
ment of the Canadian travelling dairy
schools and the consequent better
ment of their butter.
The close connection between the
quality of the article and the price is
shown by the calculation that if your
ueighbors produced the bulk of their
outer in creameries instead of home
iairies, they would add over 81, ,000,-
900 to its value. New York World.

Swimming Wild Hogs.

Those swimming wild hogs of Ari.
zona are doubtless of the razor-back
variety seen in the pine forests on
the eastern shores of Maryland. They
are feet beasts, the razor back hogs
of Maryland, and good swimmers, as
are all lean swine. Fat swine float
admirably, but when they swim their
sharp fore hoofs dig cruelty into the
hanging flesh of the breast and neck,
and the swimmer is sometimes ex'
hausted from loss of blood Chicago

No matter how many capes or other
fanciful wraps woman may have in

necessity. The latest jackets are con-

made with strapped seams, and are
strictly tailor-made in the effect.
Jackets of black satin are among the

White pique is used as the trimming.
The jacket is made with large sleeves
and has white pique revers which fold
back from tight-ftting vest. The
revers fasten to the coat with gilt
buttons on the outside and tiny white
pearl buttons on the inside; when
,oiled they are easily removed and

During the month Of January just

been appalling. In the city Of New York
alone the deaths from the dread disease
number more than 600, and judging from
recent telegrsphic reports we doubt not
that the mortality has been correspond
ingly large in other parts Of the country.
For reasons unknown TO us, says the
New York Sun in a recent editorial, the
mortality from pneumonia has risen very
greatly In recent times. Up TO two years

cases Of II was under 1000; but
