DRESSING PARTISAN DOGS.
Elaborate Costumes Worn by Canine
Pets in the French Capital.

From the London West minister Gazette
There seem to be some 5000 or 5000 per-
sons in Paris who are determined to make
the canine race go to the dogs as speedily
as unreasonable pampering can send them
there. This number of so-called lovers of
dogs is inscribed on the books of the Pa
risian dog tailors. One of the tailors took
the writer in his confidence, saying:
For the most part our clients belong to
the higher classes of society-people who
can afford to pay high prices and who pay
ready cash. The business Is, therefore, a
very profitable one, because the materials
used do not cost very much and we sell
them at a large profit. For instance, I re-
Gently had a very remunerative order from
the daughter Of a diplomat in Paris. She
was about to be married, and 1 made a set
of gala clothes for her dogs to match the
liveries of the lackeys in her fathers house
hold. AS the bride entered the residence
after the ceremony her three dogs were
awaiting her at the top of the grand stair
case dressed in these costumes, with bou-
quets of orange blossoms attached to their
collars. and held in a silken leash by one
of the footmen. The effect was marvellous.
Then. again. the daughter of rich banker
recently married, had another idea. l made
to measure for each OF her dogs-she had
half a dozen-regular bridesmaids cos
tunes of white faille embroidered with lace
and garlanded with orange blossoms, while
on their feet they wore small slippers of
white satin, also specially made to meas
ure"
One does not quite know whether pity
for the dogs thus tortured or contempt for
The owners who bend their minds to such
doings is the predominant feeling aroused
at these facts.
The waterproof for rainy days, the dust
cloak for Journeys. the mantle for weather
and the gray linen suit for seaside wear
are all articles with which a French So
ciety dog has long become familiar. But
this year. Mr.. Waller tells us, the poor
creatures owners have gone one step fur
Their in rendering the sublime handiwork of
the Creator ridiculous by providing their
pets with sets of fine linen. No society dog
which really respects itself would think of
possessing less than dozen undergarments
of lawn If il be In good health, or of silk or
surah If II should be subje to colds or nerv-
GUS complaints. Then, If the poor darling
should be troubled with watery eyes, a
dozen embroidered cambria handkerchiefs
becomes an absolute necessity. And this
is not all. His delicate little feet must be
kept dry by boots. made to measure OF
leather or India rubber to suit his particu-
lar temperament This, together with
bracelets and tie pins. with perfumes and
fancy soaps. with ivory combs and brushes
and 4 good many other things makes up
the dogs toilet necessaries, and II the Pa
risian pet dog could speak he would GER
tainly explain that his friends lead him

CONSUMPTION OF ALMONDS.
Twenty-Five Million Pounds Eaten I'm
the United States Each Year.

the United States Each Year.
From the Boston Transcript.
There are roughly speaking 21,0OO 600
pounds of almonds consumed in the United
States each year, some eaten with raisns,
some used in the manufacture of candy,
some ground for cream and flavoring eX-
tracts, and some. of an inferior quality,
used for perfumery and soap. The state of
California produces about 14,OO0000 pounds
of almonds in year, or two-thirds of the
amount required for domestic consumption,
and the other almonds are imported from
European countries, from which, until a
few years ago, all the almonds were sent
The figures of almond importations for the
fiscal year 1893 show importations Of about
100000 pounds. OF this amount 100000
came from Spain, 100000 from Italy, chief
ly Sicily and the balance from Greece and
Portugal.
Cocoanuts to the value Of about 100000
a year are imported into the United States
from foreign countries or from countries
which were under foreign jurisdiction at
the time of the last annual treasury report
Before the beginning OF the Cuban war for
independence the importation of cocoanuts
from Cuba into the United States was to
the value of about 100000 year. With
the beginning of the war it declined. and
under the present tariff the duty on cocoa
nuts further reduced the importation from
Cuba though a large increase in the ship
ments of cocoanuts is expected this year
under American jurisdiction in Cuba and
Porto Rico The competition of American
with foreign cocoanuts. the latter from the
West Indies and South American states
has been more active than in the case of
almonds for the reason that the chief
source of supply Of American cocoanuts is
Florida, which is In closer proximity to the
New York market! The annual product of
Florida cocoanuts amounts to about 1,O00,-
coo pounds of the value of about $500, 600 a
year, and the conditions as to almonds and
cocoanuts are in this particular reversed
California produces Just twice as many
almonds as are imported into the United
States, whereas Florida produces just one
half as many cocoanuts as are imported.
