BUYING READY-MAD GOWNS
of Business by New Custom of
English Women.

London.-The demand for ready
made gowns in London today is so
great that the small dressmaker com.
plains that she is being crushed out
of existence. According to a report
made by an inspector of factories and
workshops there has never been a
time when the readymade clothing in
dustry f1ourished as at present.
Such clothing can be bought in
shops at all prices from s1.10 to $500.
Most of the cheaper dresses are made
in factories and one style is repro
duced often two hundred times.
AS the ready-made trade increases
naturally the dress trade, that is, the
sale of material by the yard, de-
creases and the small dressmakers
cannot get sufficient work. The con-
venience of entering shop, seeing a
gown, trying it on and having 1t sent
home to wear the same day or, IL
slight alterations have to be made. the
next day, has proved too alluring for
the London woman and her suburban
sister. Another reason for the exist
ing state of affairs is the fact that the
present style of gown requires very
little fitting, soft folds serve to drape
the figure and boning and steels are
rare. Naturally the cheapness of the
ready-made dress adds to its attrac-
tiveness.

SIRE OF MUCH IMPORTANCE.
Little Study of Results of Breeding
Necessary to Show Value of
Head of Herd
CBy r. B. RUSHING1

We have all heard the saying that
ally true. That is, of the qualities
bequeathed to the calves the parent
furnishes half, and generally more.
The COW Influences the character of
but one calf a year; the bull passes
on his personality to many calves, to
all the calves of a herd of ordinary
size When he Is chosen, half the
character of all the calves is deter
mined, thus, his influence is as much
as that of the whole number of COWS
taken together in the herd
If he is of stronger prepotency than
most of the COWS, that is, able to
transmit his qualities more surely and
strongly to the progeny, which is
usually the case with well bred sire,
then the bull represents more than
half the herd In this case more than
half the characteristics of the calf. or
the stronger and predominating half
comes from the sire, thus he is more
than half.
So the sire may be much more than
half the herd whether judged by the
strength, quality, or accumulated eff
feet, of the characteristic he trans
mits
1t is true, however, that the sire
may thus within few years, at slight
expense, completely transform dairy
herd and more than double it's profits.
Then is he not good investment?

EA TING CATS MEA7

were something unclean and revolt
ing"
The usual amount" said Doctor
Thomas, expended by each customer
for cats meat in this borough is a
farthing to halfpenny. Only ten pur-
veyors had sold a pound of cats meat
(Which costs four or five cents) at a
time, and then it was to neighboring
tradesmen, who were known to keep
dogs. Three puryeyors only sold four
penny worth at a time, and the buyers
were well known to them, and kept
big dogs"
If there were any foundation for the
statement that poor people eat horse.
flesh, the sale of cats meat would have
increased with the increase of unem-
ployment and poverty, but it is not
so. In every part of the borough there
has been a decrease, but the decrease
has been most marked in that part in
which unemployment mostly prevails.
1t was stated in a newspaper that in
Whitechapel, within short distance
of Aldgate station, there are several
shops where horsef1esh is sold for hui
man food. Doctor Thomas states that
there are only three cats meat shops
in the whole of the Whitechapel dis
trict, and there is less cats meat sold
in this district than in any other part
of the borough.
At two shops near the docks Doctor
1hCnas was told that sometimes for
eign sailors asked to be served with
cats meat, stating that they know it
is horsefesh, and that they have been
accustomed to eat it abroad. They
are never served

London.-Toward the end of the
year 1907 the medical officer of health
to the London county council reported
that there can of course, be no doubt
that much cats meat is still eaten by
human beings in London. 1t is large
ly sold in extremely poor neighbor-
hoods, and the women seen buying a
fourpennyworth or a fvepennyworth
are clearly not buying meat for cats"
Tariff reformers jumped at this
statement, out of which they have
made a great deal of capital, both in
the house of commons and in their
campaigns in the country. 1t is
not refuted by a detailed report from
DR.. d. L. Thomas, the medical off Ger
of health for Stepney, who has had "a
years experience of the East end of
London. He deals with the subject
in his annual report this year.
In the borough of Stepney there
are % purveyofs of cats meat, each
of whom was interviewed by Doctor
Thomas, and each one was emphatic
in his statement that none of his Gus
toners bought horsefesh for human
food. Even the very poorest had it
wrapped in paper, and then they carry
it home in a gingerly fashion, as if it

HOSTESS HAD TO OWN UP
Domestic Secret Disclosed When the
Guests Could Not Be Served
With Pie.

She was woman of resource and
ability and when her husband arrived
for dinner with an unexpected guest
she thought she had devised a way
to meet the fact that she had but one
piece Of pie in the house and had in
tended her husband should have that.
She instructed him that when she
sent to the kitchen for dessert he was
to say he could not possibly eat any
more than he had eaten and then the
pie could be brought to her guest
without his surmising that there was
but one piece in the house.
This might have worked out all
right if the pie had not been so ex-
ceedingly good and her husband had
not known this because he had it for
dinner the day before.
When the maid cleared away the
dinner dishes the master of the house
said he had no room for dessert.
The guest said he felt the same way
Then, when the master thought it was
safe to do so, h changed his mind
and said after all he guessed he would
take dessert. The pie was brought.
When it was half eaten the guest
said it looked so good he thought he,
too, would indulge
No, you won't" said the hostess,
and she told the tale of the pie.

TUBERCULOSIS IN THE PRISON
Per Cent. of Suffering Is Enormous
and There Seems but One
Remedy.

From several Investigations that
have been made by the National AS
ISOLATION for the Study and Proven
tion of tuberculosis it is estimated
that on an average about Is per
cent. of the prison population of the
country is afflicted with tuberculosis.
On this basis, out of the $4,000 prison
ers housed in the penal institutions
of the United States at any given
time, no less than $4,000 are infected
with the disease. If the Philippine
islands and other insular possessions
were taken into consideration the
number would be much larger. Some
of the prisons of Pennsylvania, Kan
sas and Ohio show such shocking con-
ditions with reference to tuberculosis
that many wardens admit that these
places of detention are death traps.
Similar conditions could be found in
almost every state, and in the major
ity of cases the only sure remedy is
the destruction of the old buildings
and the erection of new ones.
