The Tailor Explained How Clothes
Must Be Built to Be in Style.

From the Chicago Post.
The tailor stood the man up on the block
and then stood off across the room to
study the coat from little distance. Aft
er two or three minutes of reflective obser-
walton he shok his head and took a look at
it from another direction. Then he came
closer, pulled it down little here. puffed
it up a little there and shook his head
What idiot made that coat?" he asked
Don't you like it," returned the man on
the block, very naturally offended at the
The tailor shrugged his shoulders express
sively.
but what's the matter with it?" de-
manded the man on the block;
Everything" replied the tailor. There
is the collar, for instance"
Collar" roared the man on the block.
'Why. that lies around my neck as snug
and even as anyone could wish
No doubt answered the tailor. Then,
II you will turn to the glass, you can see
the absurdity of the back.
After careful inspection the man on the
block announced that 1t looked to him as
smooth as n board.
Very likely responded the tailor. And
then" he added. there is the crowning alb
surdity of the body Of the, the coat and the
ITS perfectly comfortable, not too loose
and does. not wrinkle protested the man
That is apparent to anyone" admitted
the tailor.
Then what's the matter with it?"
why, principally just the points that 7
have enumerated" !" said the tailor. ITO put
it more briefly and in little palmer Ian
Euage I might say that, from the stand
point of the present fashions, the fault lies
in the fact that it fits. What you need If
you are going into society is a coat that
has been fitted to an open umbrella and
that won't touch you anywhere except on
the shoulders. If il looks well on you YOU
may put it down at once as decidedly out

SPECULATIVE MARKET DULL,
LITTLE DOING IN ANY LINE AND
PRICE CHANGES WERE SMALL.
Wheat Improves 3-Sc on Firm Cables
and storm News-COrn and Oats
Unchanged - Provisions
Slightly Higher.

Chicago, Jan. 23.-AIl the grain and pro-
vision markets were very duh to-day.
Wheat was benefited to the extent OF
about &c by the firm cables and the pre-
vaiIing storm. Corn and oats closed at
substantially yesterdays final figures, and
provisions advanced 21kd5c.
In wheat, the sudden drop of the
tenperature to close upon zero. with the
knowledge that large portion of the
winter wheat country was bare of snow
last night, caused the May option to open
firm at a shade above yesterdays closing
prices. The crowd was, for the most part,
bearish, and there were enough offerings
10 start with to cause n slight depression.
First trades were at eg3sdS0c for May.

7"7sc and 79&d79Sc ruled almost i'm
mediately after. The rank and file soon
discovered that one OF two of the leading
operators who were short inclined more

That turned the market strong again, and
put the price above S0c Trade very dull
but nevertheless the price got to S0l4c
about an hour from the opening. The
usual statistical news was not particular
~ influential either way: The week
shipments Of wheat and flour from both
coasts amounted to 29l7, 900 bushels, against
2,94S.O5O bushels the week before. Exports
from the Atlantic pcrts for twenty-four
and flour together: that was regarded as
one Of the bearish points of the day. Chi
cage received Al cars. against los a year
ago. Minneapolis reported Il cars and
Duluth lO5 cars. Il total of 176. against 29i
las week and 435 the corresponding
day of the year before. Argentina, which
shipped no wheat last week. shipped 32,0O9
bushels this week. Liverpool was rather
non-commital. being unchanged for spot
and I'D higher for futures. There was
some realizing near the close, but the
effect resulted in only q slight loss. the
market closing steady at SO1sc for May.
Corn was quiet and featureless, the price
holding very steady and very close to the
closing price yesterday. The expected large

also the possibility of reductions in rail

Stocks and Bonds.

New York, Jan. 23.-The stock market to-
day was dull and prices made further
progress to lower level. Opening prices
We're generally above yesterdays final
sales, but weakness soon developed on Il
drive at the anthracite coalers, and, after
the end of the first hour. the bears ex-
tended their operations to the high priced
industrials. The traders affected to con-
slider the bank statement as an unfavor-
able exhibit on the decrease of loans and
further accumulations of idle money in the
banks. The closing was dull at the lowest.

In the Wrong Town.

From the Detroit Free Press
She looked like Il woman from Il remote
tier of townships, and the way in which she
was dressed tended to confirm that impress
sion. She seemed in world of trouble and
approached the tiOoTwnlker.
See here. mister" she said nerVousiy
I've been robbed in this here store. Josh
lowed me to come down here to do my
shcpPin cause 1t would be = sayin had

from hum, with no way to get back an
notEin' TO eat, and the woman buried her
face in a handkerchief, while threatening
to collapse.
You'd better report the matter to the
police at once. Or I'll attend TO that for
you"
Not on your tintype." she responded
quickly. I'm no rube." Then She gath
cred herself and between artiStically exc
cuted sobs asked that she be lent enough
to keep her over night and take her back
to Josh.
Kut she had tipped her hand. The floor
walker led her back to the office, and in the
long bag within her dress skirt was found
a choice collection of dry goods. She made
the air sulphurous and at the police sta
ton proclaimed herself a Jay for leaving

English and American skaters.

From the Washington Pest.
1t has been said that there are no skaters
on ice in the world as graceful as the
American girls. This may be due in
measure to the difference in method be-
tween the skating of the girl of the New
World and her English sister, but he the
cause what it may. the truth of the asser-
tlon still holds. An essential feature of the
English method is to skate with a straight
knee, which cannot be accomplished TO the
letter and at the same time give the grace
full, easy stroke which is so noticeable
characteristic of the American skater. 1t
cannot be said, however. that the women
of the old country are as prone to adopt
this method as the men, and there are in
England to-day some really fine skaters.
Englishmen, as rule. execute their move
ments on the ice on grand scale. They
appear TO be flying rather than merely glid-
ing over the surface of the ice, and some
of their strokes are really marvels of
strength and skill, one stroke frequently
carrying the skater the entire length of the
rink. The American skater, however, takes
the stroke with a slightly bended knee and
then coming up to the straight knee"
movement. makes a most easy and grace
ful appearance.
