English Tai1ors Can Tell Americans
at Sight.
There Is no mistaking the American
when he wears the clothes he brought
with him. He almost always wears a
jacket of the lounge type, which some
how seems cut with the special object
of making him appear to have very
round and uncommonly fat shoulders.
The jacket hangs away at the waist,
and this, together with his singular
fOndness for straw hats, which, both
in shape and texture, suggest the idea
Of carving from a corncob, gives a
dumpness to the figure which is still
further accentuated by the closeness of
the ft in the trouser legs.
The Frenchman favors fancy vests of
wonderful elaboration. He wears a
frock coat with short skirts and is fond
of a lot of trimming on the collar and
lapel. The coat grips at the waist like
belt, and the skirt springs out like an
infant crinoline over the baggiest part
Of his very baggy trousers, which, by
the way, come in suddenly at the foot
and look not unlike knickerbockers
which have been left growing too long
and have reached to the ankle instead
of to the knee. His hat is usually silk
one, but it is flat-brimmed and of a
pyramidal shape, such as is traditional
ly supposed to have been worn by
Welshwomen and Irish gentlemen Of
the Kyrle DAILY and Hardness Cregan
period. He also wears an extraordinary
ample black silk tie, which Of itself
would be a sufficiently distinguishing
feature.
The Germans are more bulky as re-
CARDS physique than most of the conti-
nentals, and carry themselves with an
uprightness which suggests military
training. They are broad of shoulder
and deep of chest, and they favor the
morning coat suit which English tail
ors, If they are wise, recommend to
those of their customers who are stout
lows English lines; in fact, were 1t not
for the prevalence of Prussian blue as
the dominant color of the material 1t
would be difficult to say in what respect
any decided marks of distinction could
be found.
The Danes and Swedes are fond of
blue cloth, and in most Of their suits the
evidence Of real good, old-fashioned
tailoring is noticeable. Their garments
appear to be mostly hand-sewn, and,
though the cutting in most cases is in
different, 1t is easy to understand when
looking at the garments how it is that
SO many Of the West End workshops,
especially in the ladies' trades, employ
workmen who learned their tailoring in

False Economy.

1t is the experience of every good
housewife that to practice economy on
such articles as spices, baking powder
and the like is generally at the risk of
health and comfort. The few cents
possibly saved may be very expensive
if they result in impure and indigest-
ible foods. If you want to be sure
you are getting only the very purest
and strongest spices and baking powder
made, see to it that your grocer sup
plies you only with the Monopo!e
brand. If your dealer doesn't handle
them send US his name. Wadhams &
Kerr Bros, Portland, Or.

LONE TRIBE OF EsMMos



There has been discovered upon one
OF the islands of the Hudson Bay, the
remnant of lost tribe of Eskimos, q
community which has been for centu-
ries without intercourse with any 9TH
er representatives of the human spe-
c1es, and whose members never, until
quite recently, had an opportunity of
seeing a white man. The facts of the
discovery are well established, having
been reported to the Federal authorities
at Ottawa by the Rev. A. w. Buckland.
Mr.. Buckland says that these strange
people viii virtually live In the stone
age, knowing no metals. Their habi-
tations are, built entirely Of the skulls
of whales.
The home of the tribe Is upon South
ampton Island, a piece of waters -girt
land nearly as large as the State of
Maine, lying at the extreme north end
of Hudson Bay. These people or their
ancestors have undoubtedly Inhabited
the island ever since e-Columbian
days, and at the present time they ex-
ists exactly as they must have done
then. Having been isolated for so long
a period it Is natural that they should
possess many peculiarities. A very re-
markable collection of their utensils,
weapons Of the chase, and other OBJ
jects, was secured by Mr.. Buckland,
but, to the great regret of the Canadian
authorities, it was allowed by. him to
pass into the hands of private persons.
The huts on the island are built by
putting together the great jaws Of
whales and then covering them with
skins. In the middle of the primitive
dwellings Is a slight elevation, on
which stands the stone lamp, employed
for lighting, heating, cooking, and melt
ing snow and drying clothes. This
lamp is nothing more than an open dish
Of whale oil, with wick Of dry moss
soaked in fat
The whale is the chief means OF
subsistence of these poor people. They
use the bone for many purposes, max
ing plates and cups and toboggan-like
sleds. They also manufacture sledges
of walrus tusks, with deer antlers for
crosspieces. The members speak di-
alect peculiar to themselves and they
are the most daring of hunters. Not
more than sixteen members of the tribe
now survive.
Mr.. Buckland agrees with the explor-
ers who believe the story that Andree
was murdered by the Eskimos. He has
lived for years with these people in
their tents, and can not say too much
for the klndliness of disposition and
readiness to assist strangers. He
explains the finding by them Of
instruments and other property by the
hypothesis that they belonged to the
Tyrell brothers, who in 1894, nearly
lost their lives near Marble Island,
Hudson Bay, and left many valuable
articles behind, including their cameras,
plates, etc.
Mr.. Buckland Is confident that An
dree will never again be heard from.
When he was asked by the Norwegian
government last year to undertake
search for him, he declined, believing
that to do SO would simply mean
waste of time and money.-New York

Eats Corn Off the Cob.

s'I can bite an apple as well as
could when a child, and can eat corn
off the cob as well as any person alive, -
said lady sixty eight years old and a
customer of Wise Bros, the famous
dentists, of Portland, Oregon.
She had been fitted with full sets of
upper and lower teeth by Wise Broth
ers, and was perfectly astonished to find
that she is now as we'll supplied with
teeth that she can use as che was when
a little girl. Wise Brothers have revo-
lutionized modern dental methods.
There is no more pain to be feared
by people who have their teeth attend
ed to, and the cost is very moderate
They make great specially of crown
and bridge work, and even when it is
necessary to take out all of the old
teeth and put in full new sets, the re-
suit is simply wonderful. The false
,eth, of course, cannot be told from
natural ones, and the person using
them can do everything he, or she,
could do with natural teeth. The sets
of teeth are made to fit the gums 60
perfectly that there is no slipping, and
the strength of the possible bite is just
like that of a natural healthy set of
teeth.
The experience of the lady customer
here related can be yours if your teeth
need attention. No one can afford to
postpone having their teeth put in
order. Nc one need suffer single day
longer because they have lost the use of
their own teeth. We hope our readers
will carefully watch the advertisements
of Wise Brothers in this newspaper,
and be persuaded to consult this
splendid dental institution.

Here is a freak" photograph. At
first glance one would suppose that it
was a picture Of young lady riding
on baby elephant.
But it is not real elephant. It is a
mere silhouette cut out of boards and
is intended for an advertisement, a
sign being painted on it. The lap-robe
of a carriage is thrown over the sign
to conceal it, and the young lady is
managing herself with difficulty on the
sharp edge of the elephants back
for all that, she looks comfortable.
The photograph was taken in the out
skirts of the City of Washington, the
elephant being set up by the roadside.

Aluminium as Substitute for Paper.
1t is stated that experiments with
aluminium as a substitute for pape,
are now under way in France. 1t is
now possible to roll aluminium into
sheets four-thousandths Of an inch in
thickness, in which form it weighs less
than paper. By the adoption of suit
able machinery these sheets can be
made even thinner and can be used for
book and writing paper. The metal
will not oxidize, is practically fire and
water proof, and is indestructible by
worms.
