| 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 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 oil
dresses here. Clothing is so cheal
that anybody can save the cost of tn,

How TO walk weIi.

In walking, the body never entirely
quits the ground, the heel OF the adj
vancod foot touching the ground in
each step before the toe OF the rear
foot leaves it. Tho advanced limb
supports the body, while the rear foot
propels it. Suppose a man to be
standing with his heels together, and
he be now made to take some steps,
starting with the left foot. then the
motions will be the following: The
body is inclined forward. By this
means the centre of gravity would
fall in front of the base formed by
the feet if the left limb were not
raised and the foot thrown forward.
The toes just clear the ground and the
heel is made to touch the ground first.
This prevents the body from falling.
Meanwhile the right leg is straight
ened and the heel raised. When the
heel Of the left foot touches the
ground, nothing in the right foot but
the big toe is in contact with it. This
member serves as the propeller. The
step is now complete and the work OF
each limb is exchanged for the next
step and so on. The cause Of waddling
is the inability of people to bring the
leg forward in a straight line, but by
force of habit they describe semi
circle with their legs at each step. =

''The war between China and Japan

of the taking of Pekin by the British

Bazante, who was at one time an
officer in the British Army, but who is
now residing in New York. "The
troops had little opposition, and were
marching rapidly onto the Chinese
capital, when their march was stopped
by river too deep to be forded. No
provision had been made for crossing
it, because in ordinary weather it was
a mere brook.

army would have to wait until the
rush of water caused by recent rains

the dilemma was, however. found. In

How Horses Breathe.

A psychologist says a horse cannot
breathe through its mouth like a dog
and other animals. 1t can only breathe
through its nose. The soft palate
forms a complete partition between
the L outh and throat, and can only be
elevated, or allow the passage of food
or water backwards, by compression
such as that which occurs in swallow
ing. The passage of air through the
mouth is entirely prevented by the
soft palate.
By plugging a horses nose it may
readily be sulfocated. 1t is because
breathing can only be performed
through the nasal organs that spacious
open nostrils are considered not only
beautiful, but necessary, for they al
low at times of unusual exertion for
the free passage of large volumes OF
air into the oyertaxed lungs during
respiration. New York World.
