The men who write fashion notes In
New York papers have curious faculty
Of making men who know how to dress
sore in spirit. Here comes writer who
says that tho most fashionable form of
frock coat is made of dark mixture and
worn unbuttoned. A gentleman never
wears his clothes unbuttoned If he desires
to be considered good form. AS matter
of fact, lots of Us do because the exigenciea
Of life and buAiness force us to be easy in
matters of attire. But man who wears
an overcoat frock coat, a cutaway or
sack unbuttoned is just as certainly in I'M
dress as O man who would permit himself
to be seen with his waistcoat unbuttoned.
Another man Informs us that ''spats"
ought never to be worn over anything but
heavy walking shoes A "spat" is
gaiter. Caters arc worn usually with low
shoes and are designed to protect the ho-
siery. A man who wears gaiter over
shoe, the upper Of which is extended above
the ankle, has about as ludiorous an idea
of tho fitness Of things as o man who
would wear long trousers tucked into high
boots The basis of good dressing is COM
mon sense No man should ever wear any
thing that has not some idea Of usefulness
attached to it. He may wear scarfpin
to hold his scarf together, but never on q
scarf already made up. He may wear
shirt studs, but never pin of any sort
stuck in his shirt bosom for ornament
only. A watch chain is permissible be-
cause it serves to confine the watch, but
finger rings are, unless of some signifl-
canoe, impossible or should be. Even with
women earrings arc quito out Of fashion.

The Hunter Is Now the Most Famous Prod
net of tho Green Isle.
The Irish horse has been famous rs fo,
back as any historical record Of it can be
traced, but of late years it has been the
Irish hunter that has given tho country
Its nalne for horse breeding. In PRODUCING
other Breeds such az the thoroughbred
Clydcsdale, Shire, Cleveland Bay and
hackney, ireland can never hope to COM
pete with England and Scotland but in
her own speciality Of the Irish hunter I'M
der an improved system she need fear no
competition. 1t is therefore to the devel-
opmcnt of the weight carrying hunter,
with plenty Of quality-that most perfect
type Of horse for general utility and en-
durance-that her chief aim should be d.
rected.
Years ago, before the introduction of
various Englieh breeds into tho country.
type existed of tho old Irish hunter
which stamped itself on it's progeny and
by It's excellence in the hunting field &C.
quired its reputation. This type is unfor.
tunately rare at tho present time, owing
to the numberless experiments in breeding
that have been tried, and the hunter of
today Is more or less chance animal, the
result OF mating thoroughbred stallion
with farmers mare-in fact, the breed
Ing OF hunters is now too much O lottery.
with too many blanks and too few prizes
1t Is admitted at once that there are
as many Of the very highest class
Of hunters bred in Ireland now as at any
former time, but the class that produces
these animals is limited and to largo
aytapti their valuo ia n,alv raaIize<l hv the
their way. We must endeavor to reproduce
the type for which Ireland was formerly
30 famous throughout the country gener-
ally If We wish to attain success In Irish
horse breeding, and the possibility of es-
tablishing type and developing distinct
breed is consistently advocated by some Of
the highest authorities on tho subject.
1t is obvious the broad question is not
30 much how those who already have ev-
cry facility for breeding good horses can be
assisted as how an ordinary farmer can
be encouraged in the production Of the
best class Of animal within his reach
while preserving the character of the horses
Tor which Ireland has become famous.
The trade in Irish horses is now confined

ful van and hack horses, polo ponies and

Examinations In China.

China is absolutely governed by bu-

to become o government official. There is
the temptation Of almost irresponsible
power, with great prizes, and of many lu-

blanks are innumerablc, and the majority
OF the aspirants must resign themselves
to mendicancy. Six or eight thousand
competitors may be assembled. Each man
is carefully searched in case he should
have concealed cribs about his person
Then he is shut up with the examination
papers for two days in an unfurnishcd cell
about half the size of roomy bathing ma

dashes of various essays and must throw
off verses by the page. Should he come

friends, he may wait indefinitely for the
