We will offer to the Public the best[ine9 of
“Bnttoiaholes Sold Here.”
“Button Holes For Sale Here” is a
sign which peers out through a rather
dirty window of a lower floor tene
ment on the east side. In view of the
possibility that it might mean just
what it said and that the dealer really
sold holes for buttons a Tribune re
porter investigated.
A woman whose dress was a mixture
of bathing suit and ball gown answer
ed his knock.
“You sell buttonholes here?” was
isked.
“Naw, we make ’em!” she exclaimed,
with as much disgust as a very squeaky
voice was capable of showing.
“Well, the sign iu the window says”
“Never mind the sign!” she snapped
back. “What do you want with me?
She was finally persuaded to tell
something of her new business.
“You see, it’s this nay,” she began
“The working girls who live over here
have to dress pretty well and do it on
little money. Most of ’em makes their
own clothes, but they have not too
much time to do the work in. Now, if
you was a woman you’d know that it
was mighty hard to make buttonholes,
specially by hand. Poor girls can’t af
ford buttonhole machines. They make
up the dresses and bring ’em over to
us, and we put in the buttonholes at
so much a hole, ’cording to the kind of
stuff and how well they wants it done.
And that’s all there is to it.”—New
York Tribunt*.

’Tvraa an Irish Boll.
Before the days of proper safeguards
a good many cattle got In the paths of
Michigan railroads and were killed
outright or so badly injured as to ne
cessitate putting them out of misery.
These happenings frequently afforded
the owners of the cattle an opportunity
to bring suit against the railroad com
panies, so that the employees were re
quired to be very careful as to details
and to keep a strict record of the man
ner of a cow’s death, etc. Regular
printed reports of such cases had to
be turned in by the section master,
who was required to fill out blanks
stating the probable age of the deceas
ed animal, weight, color, distinguish
ing marks and disposition of carcass,
the animal being sometimes cnt up
and sold for beef.
Naturally it was an Irish section
“schuperintindher” who, like Finni-
gan in his terse report of a wreck,
simply stated, “Off ag’in, on ag’in—Fin
negan,” made out the record of a cer
tain bovine tragedy in a characteristic
way. Mike guessed pretty well at tin-
age and weight and color of the dead
cow, but when lie came to the line
“disposition of carcass” he scratched
Lds head reflectively.
“Sure,” he muttered, “she doied aisy,
aunyway.” Then opposite the line lie
scrawled, “Kind and gentle.”—Detroit
Free Press.
SPOTTY, THE SPORT.
. «
One of the Amaslng Experiences of
Poultry Keeping.
When we rented our house, we didn’t
expect to keep chickens, hut our land
lord was moving out of town, and after
he had his chickens cooped he found
there wasn’t room in the car, so father
bought them.
There were a black Minorca, two
! Plymouth Rocks, a Light Brahma, a
j Leghorn and a crossbred—a black hen
with just a few white feathers and a
rose comb. We called her Spotty.
One day, when we were getting set
tled in our new homo. Spotty walked
in through the kitchen door, and we
found her eating crumbs in the pantry
and an egg under the shelf.
The next day. when it—was raining
and the door shut, we heard something
tapping on the window and found Spot
ty dying against it. We were afraid
she might break the glass, so mother ~
told me to send her away, but before I
could close the door she was in and
making for the pantry again.
We thought her so wise that we let
her alone, and she laid in the pantry
until she began to molt. Whenever
the door was closed she came to the
window. I never saw an uglier hen
than old Spotty when she was molting.
She was ragged, bare necked nnd piu
feathery all at once, but we were go
ing to school then and didn’t know
when she stopped molting, though fa
ther said once that Spotty seemed to
be spotted with black instead of white,
as at first. About Thanksgiving time
father wanted to sell some chickens,
and mother told him to sell the lightest
ones, especially one which was nearly
white. When he came in. he said: “My
dear, there is a beautiful snowy white
pullet in the chicken house with a rose
couib. Where do you think she came
from?” Stella had been reading poul
try papers, and she said at once that
it was a sport; that Barred Plymouth
Rocks sometimes sported white chick
ens.
As we wefe half a mile from a neigh
bor, father thought that was right,
until one rainy day we heard a tapping
on the window and found the white
puliet in Spotty's familiar place. Then
every one remembered that with the
increased number of chickens from the
summer hatch Spotty had been lost
sight of and the snowy white pullet
with the rose comb was herself.—Har
riet W. Ashby in Poultry Keeper.

A Youthful Finnncler.
A correspondent asks, Will some of
your mathematical geniuses kindly tell
me if I am absolutely devoid of the
calculating faculty in not being able
to see through the following three
cornered trick, shall I say? A beggar
boy asked an old gentleman in the
street for sixpence.
“What will you do with ft if I give
you one?” asked the old gentleman.
“Turn it into ninepeuce quick,” re
plied the boy.
“How?”
“Give me the tanner, a‘nd I’ll soon
show you.”
The boy got the money, darted off to
a baker’s shop and bought a three
penny loaf, with which he returned to
the old gentleman and handed him
back 3 pennies.
“How’s this? You said you would
make the sixpence into uinepenee.”
“So I have. The baker’s got three
pence, you’ve got threepence and I’ve
got a threepenny loaf. That’s nine-
pence.”—Pearson’s Weekly.

The Laughter of Savage,.
The general impression one derives
from the accounts given is certainly
that savage tribes are not victims of a
sullen despair, but, on the contrary,
have a large nnd abundant mirth.
Their laughter and other signs of good
spirits are of the most energetic kind.
Darwin and a number of travelers as
sure us on this point. The Tasma
nians, Ling Roth tells us, accompanied
their loud bursts of laughter with
movements of the hands to the head
and quick tapping movements of the
feet. The loud, deep chested character
of the men’s laughter is sometimes
specially noted. A recent visitor to
central Africa regrets that under Eu
ropean influence the deep chested,
hearty laughter of the men Is being re
placed by what is known as the “mis
sion giggle” in the younger folk.—In
ternational Monthly.
What s Dnnf> of Ink Did.
A certain newspaper proprietor had a
way of appearing in the composing
and press rooms at the most unexpected
times, and as his visits often resulted
in a general “shakeup” of the working
forces of the paper they were awaited
with fear and trembling by the em
ployees.
One time one of the pressmen, an ex
cellent workman, who had been there
many years, but was sometimes guilty
of a lapse of sobriety, had a black eye
and was In a quandary as to what ex
cuse be should offer if the proprietor
noticed It. By a sudden inspiration he
seized an ink roller and daubed some
ink on his face, quite covering the dis
coloration. Presently the governor
came in and, with the foreman, went
through the room, commenting on ev
ery detail and looking very sharply at
©very workman. When about to leave,
he suddenly pointed to the inky press
man and said, “What is that man’s
name?”
The man quaked in his shoes until he
continued slowly: “I want you to give
that man 5 shillings a week more
wages. He is the only man In the
room who looks as if he had been
working.”
Paper Covered Books.
The life of the paper covered books
that accumulate on everybody’s hands
and among which one sometimes finds
one she would like to keep may be pro
longed by this process: Cut a piece of
gingham or print a trifle larger than
the cover. Paste it to the paper cov
ers and trim the edges. Dry under a
weight and letter the title on the cov
er. The cloth should be in one piece.
A Fallible Sign.
Mrs. Housekeep— I don’t know much
about the new girl, but 6he’s good
natured and harmless, at any rate.
Mr. Housekeep—How did you find
that out?
Mrs. Housekeep—I notice that she
sings at her work.
Mr. Housekeep—Hugh! That’s no
sign. A mosquito does that.—Ex

How to Care Dock Feathers.
Your reader wanting to know how to
cure duck feathers may find the follow
ing of value:
If they are for home use, the usual
way to cure duck feathers is to hang
them up in coarse bags that are not too
full in the sun each day until they are
thoroughly dry and all chance of any
decomposition is gone. Care should be
taken that they are never wet by-a sud
den shower or otherwise and should be
stirred up occasionally.
If the feathers are intended for mar
ket, the quickest way is to spread them
on an upper floor under a tight roof,
guarding against their being wet from
rain. At least once in two days they
shouid be well stirred with a stick to
prevent their heating.
Each new lot should be kept separate
until partly dry. This may be done by
making a small pen in one corner of
the floor and keeping them there for a
week at least. These are thrown with
the general lot when fresh are brought
to take their place. At no time should
there he more than a foot of feathers
on the floor.
If there are windows, as there should
be, they can be covered with wire net
ting. allowing them to be opened for
ventilation without the feathers being
blown out.
It will take a month for the feathers
to be dry enough to sell, when they can
be packed tightly in light muslin bags
for shipment.
White feathers always bring the top
price. Colored or soiled feathers should
be kept separate. These latter are sala
ble as a lower grade, but if mixed with
white the lot will be classed as inferior.
Hen and goose feathers are treated
In the same way, each kind by itself al
ways.
It is usually reckoned that this other
wise waste product will pay for half
the picking except in the case of scald
ed hens, when it does not pay to bother
with the feathers. Dry picked hens
bring only 10 cents at the highest and
generally not more than 7 cents.
All feathers find a ready sale to Job
bers and pillow manufacturers.
It i3 well to send samples to different
concerns when you have them for sale,
and they will make the price according
to quality as they see it. Oftentimes
one firm will give more than another
for the same goods.—Thomas H. Tay

“Uncle Tom’s Cabin” nnd the Sontli.
Possibly the most general conception
of the oid life at the south held by the
rest of the country is that drawn from
“Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” a work which,
whatever its truth in detail—and there
was doubtless much truth—yet by rea
son of its omissions and its grouping
contained even more untruth as a cor
rect picture of a civilization, says
Thomas Nelson Page in The Atlantic.
As an argument against the evils in
herent in slavery it was unanswerable;
as a presentation of the life it under
took to mirror it was rather a piece of
emotional fiction, infused with the spir
it of an able and sincere but only par
Hally informed partisan, than a eorrec;
reflection. It served a purpose far be
yond the dream and possibly even the
Intention of its author. It did much to
hasten the overthrow of slavery. It
did no less to stain the reputation of
the south and obscure what was
worthy and fine in its life. From that
time the people of the south were re-
-garded, outside its own border, much-
as, shall we say, China is regarded to
day—as one of the effete peojfies, as an
obstacle in the path of advance and
possibly among many as an object of
righteous spoil.
