hog Farms in China.

Tn Manchuria and all that part Of
China adjoining Mongolia there are
thousands of farms devoted exclusive
lv TO dog raising. At each Of these eS-
tablishments several hundred dogs are
kept. which are killed by strangula-
tion when they are months old, usual
ly toward the middle Of winter. At
that time their skin Is. covered with
very fine hair, and from these skins
are made winter clothes for the in
habitants Of the celestial empire. The
dogs furnishing these skins are en-
tirely different from the breed Of dogs
known here or in Europe, and their
fur is said to be so long-haired and
close on account of the extreme cold in
that region.
These fur dogs constitute the only
wealth Of this desolate country. and
the only dowry given to the daughters
of these farmers consists Of number
of dogs. The value Of the dogs as
about half n dollar, and as it takes
eight fur dogs to make coat, such an
article Is rather expensive.
Traffic in dog skins is centcred in
large cities like Moukden and Foo
Chow, where they are tanned. AT the
first-named place the amount Of dog
skins handled last year represented
half q million dollars.

the general style and cut is simple.
The model shown is of pale pink ben
galine with collar and epaulettes OF
velvet bound with ermine. With it Is
worn a hat of the same materials wltn
trimming of ribbon and quilts. The
back of the coat has pointed yoke to
which the full portion, which Is laid
in three bo1-plaits, is scanned. The
fronts, on the contrary, are cut In one
piece with the plaits laid from the
shoulder. The simulated yoke OF vsi'
vet is faced onto the silk and the epau-
lettes are sewed beneath the outer
fold of each plait. The closing is ef'
fected by pearl buttons and button.
holes, the latter worked in the edge OF
the right front which laps over onto
the left. The second row of buttons
down the right side is for decoration
only. The sleeves are two-seamed
and show sufficient puff at the
shoulders to support the epaulettes.
The entire coat is lined with white
silk and interlined with wool wadding.
Velvet, corduroy and cloth are all suit
able materials. The trimming may be

No other model, according to May
Manton, ever entirely supersedes the
simple, circular one for the cape OF gen
eral wear. The one shown in the
double column picture is slightly
longer than those of last year and has
a high Medici collar as finish. The
material is heavy black astrakhan cloth
which is quite plain and untrimmed.
There is single seam in the cape proper
and one in the collar, both at the CEN
tre back. The closingis is effected invis-
IDLY by means of coat hooks and eyes.
The model is lined throughout with
satin. The edges are simply seame%
and turned. Cloth, both with plGin
and rough surface, is appropriate.
Silks of all sorts, plaids, Roman
stripes and figures, as we'll as plain
satin, are used for Innings. Where
plain cloth is chosen the finish may be

silk and wool in a rich blue color.
The trimming consists Of fine black
mohair braid arranged in straight
bands. The full bodice is mounted
on a fitted lining which is composed
of the usual pieces and shows the usu-
al seams. On it is arranged the plain
woke below which falls the full portion
which is drawn in at the waist In
gathers. The closing is effected in
yisibiy at the centre-back and the neck
is finished with straight collar show
ing an outstanding frill of lace at the
back. The sleeves are two-seamed
and snug fitting except for the slight
puff at the shoulder. The jacket IS
made entirely separate and has rev.
ers which are self-faced, and curved
epaulettes which add breadth to the
shoulders and so greatly enhance the
effect. 1t is lined throughout with
silk, both the revers and epaulettes
having an entire lining of lightweight
tailor's canvas. At the waist is worn
a pointed bodice OF the material close
~ banded with the braid.
The skirt is cut in. the latest style
and is five-gored with the new fan
back. 1t is fitted smoothly across the
hips and front, and laid in deep IN
deriving plaits at the back to give the
necessary spring. The trimming Is
arranged in hoop effect, but can be
varied to suit the taste. The skirt is
lined throughout with percaline and
has an entire facing Of hair cloth slx
inches in depth.
To make this waist and jacket for q
miss of fourteen years will require two
and one-fourth yards Of forty-four-inch
material. The jacket alone calls ior
seven-eighths of . yard. The skirt
will require three and seven-elgnths
yards of the same width goods.

to whom he innocently stated his wish

where the dog licenses are issued.
He approached the license window
diffidently, gave his name and address

cost.
"It will cost you 81 year for every
dog you keep" replied the clerk.

A. HaRvESToF HU&AN HAIR.
Millions of Pounds Every Year Get
Tangled Up i'll Commerce.


Tangled Up i'll Commerce.
Perhops there is 10 staple article
about which less is known by the aver
1re person than human hair as an ar
Iicle of commerce. 1t will doubtless
surprise many when 1t is stated that
the dealers in human hair goods GO
not depend on chance clippings here
and there, but that there is a regular
hair harvest that can always be relied
upon. 1t Is estimated that over L.
1000 pounds Of human hair are USED
annually in the civilized world or
adorning the heads of women. In New
York city alone over four tons OF this
class Of goods are imported yearly.
Not 4 little of the hair used in this
country" said a New York dealer to
the writer, comes from the heads OF
American women and is fully as hne
in shade and texture as the imported
article. We had big harvest during
the craze that the fair sex had not long
ago for having their hair cut short.
Many thousands OF women who then
had their locks shearcd have since bit
terly regretted 1t, as in many instances
their hair has grown so slowly th&t
they have been compelled TO wear n
wiz or switch since the fashion
changed. After the majority Of wom-
en- reach the age Of thirty the hair
seems to partially lose its vigor, anu
If cut 1t will not grow long again.
"Two-thirds of the ladies nowadays
use false hair more or less. The de-
cree Of fashion, or the charm, is the
reason, of course. One woman, for in
stance, has high forehead and wishes
to reduce It in appearance. Another
has worn off the front hair by contin-
ued frizzing, and would like to conceal
the fact Both make use Of front or
top piece, with n choice Of many
styles.
Ladies' wigs ccst from $50 to $500.
Half wigs, top pieces and switches,
from $40 to $50, according to quality.
"The largest supply Of hair comes
from Switzerland, Germany, and the
French provinces. There is human
hair market in Merlans, in the depart
ment of the lower Pyrenees. held every
Friday. Hundreds Of hair traders
walk up and down the one street of
the village, their shears dangling from
their belts, and inspect the braids
which the peasant girls, standing on
the steps Of the houses, let down for
inspection. If a bargain Is struck the
hair is cut, and the money paid on the
spot, the price varying from 60 cents to
S. in our money.
"a woman's hair may grow to the
length of six feet. And know a lady
who has been offered and refused $500
for her crown Of glory, which is over
six feet long. A single female hair
will bear up a weight of four ounces
without breaking, but the hair thus
heavily weighted must be dark brown,
for blonde hair breaks under strain
of two and one-half ounces. There
are some 1000 importers, manufacture
ers and dealers in human hair in the
United States.

they are sold by weight, plus a small
