cal defect, and produce clothes that Will
give the best attainable effect upon the
figure, as they will be actually worn.
The physical defect most common IN
man is unevenness of the shoulders.
One shoulder is higher than the other
and this is defect often encountered,
though the difference in the height
NAV not be so great as to be noticeable,
except by one accustomed to taxing
note Of such things. This is defect
that is easily overcome by the tailor,
when it exists in comparatively mod
crate degree. It is done sometimes
simply by cutting the coat to fiton each
shoulder. the perfect fitting coat car
iviug with it the idea and the appear
ance of symmetry is attained by the ia
miliar method of building up or pad
ding the lower shoulder. The influence
Of the lower shoulder extends down on
that side of the body, SO that sometimes
it is necessary below the arm to cut
that side Of the coat shorter. Next to
uneyenness of the shoulders, round
shoulders are perhaps the commonest
defect.
A very common thing is unevenness
of the hips. A difference OF half an 1nch
here would not be at all remarkable; 1t
is sometimes much more. If man
finds one leg of his trousers-the legs
as he knows, being alike in length
touching the ground while the other
clears it, he may reasonably consider
that the~ is a difference somewhere In
his lesF. It may be that one leg is long
er than the other, but it is more prob
able that one hip is higher than the
other, or one leg fuller, SO that it takes
Up the trousers more and thus gradual
~ raises the bottom more. It would be
a common thing if men were seen with
their waistcoats off, to find suspenders
set at uneven heights. The variation
in the suspendets might be required,
to be sure, by difference in the shout
ders, and not in the legs.
II is common to find mems arms of
different lengths. The difference may
be so slight as to require no special at
tention in the making of their clothes,
but it is frequently necessary to make
the coat sleeves of different lengths.
The fact appears to be that there are
not many perfect men, that is, men Of
perfect harmony of development and
perfect symmetry Of proportions, in
| which respect man is like all things in
nature, like horses, for instance, and
trees; but in the greater number of
men these defects are within such linn
its that they might be described as va
riations rather than as substantial de-
fects.-N. Y.>Sun.

Breeding from, One Strain.

1t is well known that the best mode
OF preserving the beauty Of plumage
and retaining the points of excellence,
is by inbreeding. But this can be done
ip way so as not to be too severely he
aim should be to breed from one family.
IT new blood is to be introduced let it
be done by selecting a hen rom some
other yard, and mate her with the best
cock you have, keeping the young cock
erels of the union only, and disposing of
the pullets from the same, but do not
make any change of blood in the puIlets
OF the strain kept. BY this mode the
blood of the cocks is partially changed
every season, thus permitting of sys-
tenn of in-breeding that may be con-
tinued for several years. = America

est. Next to him comes the woman
who keeps boarding house. She does
not get as good prices as he Goes. LOT
she buys in smaller quantities, but she
has a method liz her buying that nets
her a good, round profit from the PEG
pie who sit at her table. WhIie all lhls
cago boarding house keepers do not
buy the cheapest food products they
can, still there is a general behef, ina!
seems to be founded on pretty fan
basis Of fact, that they are not gong
around seeking for the most expensive
deiicacies obtainable On which to gorge
the five and six-dollar-a-week occupants
Of their houses.
On South Water street there is a
legend to the effect that certain
clearinghouse mistress On one occa-
sion approached commission man
with the innocent proposition to save
for her all the tough chickens that came
into his possession so that her boarders
couldn't eat so much. And the same au-
thority adds that q woman who catered
to husband who liked good eating
overheard the remark and took advan-
tage of the guileless dealer. Represent
ing herself as a purveyor to cheap
boarding house she addressed TIE mer-
chant in about this way:
''Piease pick out all the tough chick
ems for me-"
s'Yes, ma'am," responded the mer-
chant, glad of the opportunity to dis
pose of undesirable wares.
When he had completed the work the
woman calmly picked out three Of the
latest hens in the pile of tender fowls
that had been left undisturbed, and Sc
renely remarked:
''Much obliged, I'll take these"
The suburbanite is the easiest buy
er that comes On the street. He hasn't
time to make selections and worry
about prices. He is always in hurry
to catch train.
There may be a few minutes in the
day when there isn't a blockade on
South Water street, but one will have
to watch very steadily to find such a
condition of affairs. Heavily-loaded
trucks and wagons are continually
fighting for the right Of way. The street
sometimes is literally strewn with veg
stablss which fall off the overloaded
wagons, and, once in awhile, much to
the delight of the small boys, and es-
peciaIy to the colored small boys, a
watermelon falls to earth and explodes
with a dull, sickening thud.
This season has been an unusually
prosperous one to the merchants on
South Water street. While all the
crops have not been good, there has
been an evenness that has kept the
market fairly we'll supplied, and prices
