CONCH-SHELL BUTTONS,

it. This story, related by Robert Lew

lstic traits of Washington-genero
and economy.
A needy sailor with wheelbarrow. OF
shells accosted the General on the street,
and, holding up number of coneh.
shells, implored him to buy them.
Washington listened with sympathy to
the story Of his suferlngs and want, and
kindly replied that he would buy them
ii he could in any way make use OF them
Necessity perhaps sharpened the sail
or's wits, and he promptly suggested
that they would make lovely buttons for
his velvet coat. The General doubtless
smiled at the ingenious proposal, but
agreed to try them. Carrying home bis
ocean treasure Of pink shells, he sent loI
a button-maker to know ii he could man.

playthings with which he found himself
encumbered. The workman replied be
could make the buttons II he could find
all instrument sharp enough to pierce
tAem.
Washington would have nothing use
less about him, and 80 the shells were
delivered to the manufacturer, who In
due time returned them to him in the
shape OF concaye buttons, little larger
than quarter of dollar, with silver
drop in The center hiding the spot where
the eye is fas tened beneath. The Presi-
dent then astonished the Republican
cour by appearing in a coat with pink
conch-shell buttons sparkling ON its
dark velvet surface. Eighty years ago,
it seems, fashion ruled in the hearts, OF
over the costumes, OF men and women.
just as it does now-for Captain Lewis
bears testimony that conch-shel but

shell-venders' and button-makers' for
tunes were made by the Generals pas

into his possession.-[ Scribuer for May
