why buttons Come on.

Sometimes because they are not sewed on
strongly, sometimes because the buttons break
or give way, but more frequently in the case
of hard buttons because the thread is cut by
roughness in the buttons eyes. Sometimes
il is an alternative whether the button shall
give way or the cloth--if the cloth gives way
the button goes too--so it is better the button
should 20 alone. Here is matter for rehec-
tion. The buttons on my custom made pants,

 Senator McDonald, of Indiana, is here for the ostensible purpose of keeping the Demo- crats in proper ehape on the tariff bill and kindred subjects of party interests. but think it is pretty well known that his real purpose is to look after the prospects of Sem ator AcDonalds receiving the Democratic nomination for President next year. He is stopping at Willard's and is as busy as bee. The tariff bill has been given precedence in both houses of Congress and is receiving great attention, but legislation is terribly hampered by the lobby that is altogether too strong to be ignored.
 It is strange and altogether anomalous condition of affairs that while majority of the Senate and House earnestly desire the passage of 8 bill giving relief to the Librari- an of Congress and to furnish the library with fitting home, it is impossible to get the matter before either house. It shows terrible defect somewhere in the code of rules. Theresi is not any apparent opposition. but the matter simply seems to hang.

The Romance of Actual Life.

How FrelInghuysen Won Hiz Bride.
 From the Chicago Tribune.l "CecileI"
 "Yes, papa.'
 She arose-a brown eyed, haired girl, with rare grace and sweetness in her manner-and approached. Pierceval Dead wood pushed aside the mass of papers that lay on the desk before him and gazed steadi- ly, almost fercely, at his daughter. She re- turned the gaze with 8 timid, hesitating, Maycorn look while the rosy bushes of maiden modesty chased each other rapidly across her fair young features and leaped outward into the great beyond.
 'What brings young Frelinghuysen here so often ?" asked the old man.
 ''His feet. I suppose" was the answer, in low shrinking tones tsI noticed that he had them with him the last time he called" and the girl shrank instinctively against her hustle
 q want no nonsense" replied the father. II have called you here to talk about your future. You must make wealthy mar riage.''
 "Papa!'
 'eDo not interrupt me,'' he continued. 'I have spoken my piece, and have only to add that am 8 hard man from way back" Sobbing as if her heart would break, CeciIe went slowly to the sofa and sat down with dull, sickening thud.
 She had broken her hustle.
 Suddenly she arose. 'I love Harold Ere inghuysen, " she said, "and will marry no other man.
 Two minutes later she was doing up her back hair
 You are sure you love me ?"
 "Can you doubt me ?' asked Harold ''Yes, " replied the girl, II can, but have decided not to"-and, kissing him warmly, she went away.

 Pierceval Deadwood is again seated at his desk.
 ''You expect young 'Frelinghuysen to- day ?" he says to Cecile.
 ''Yes, papa"
 Even while they are speaking the door opens and Harold enters
 "Have you come to redeem your prom ise ?" asks the old man seornfully. q have," is the reply, and Harold places $50, 900 in bonds on the desk.

Occasionally some inhabitant of this land of liberty and office-seekers surprises his fel- low men by announcing that he does not want office and acting in such way that the sincerity of the announcement cannot be doubted. Judge Nicholas Longworth of Cincinnati, who has been judge of the Ohio Supreme court since 1881, has had enough of public life and has resigned. In a con- versation the judge declared that his duties on the bench involved such degree of sepa ration from his family and his books that he had determined to abandon the bench and re- turn to his practice.

 During the last epidemic of typhoid fever in Paris the hospitals contained from 1000 to ], ,000 patients, in whose treatment snl- phate of quinine was much used. The result was not what was expected and led to a care full examination of the sulphRte supplied, when startling fact was ascertained. The boxes containing it inclosed layer of gsnu- inc sulphate of quinine, but the rest of the contents, hidden under this uppermost layer, consisted of ctactOnSaae, 8 vegetable alkali de- rived from quinine, but producing absolutely opposite effects. The hospitals receive their various supplies under contract with differ 1 ent dealers and when the contractor who fur nished the quinine was asked for an explana- tion he professed great astonishment, but alleged that he bought the quinine from firm in Milan; which was found to be the fact. This experience caused suspicion as to the quality of other medicines furnished to the hospitals, and now charges of wholesale adulteration and substitution are about to be investigated by the Conseil dHygiene
 Those who are tempted to speculate with the money of other people will do well to take warning by the career of O. E. Owen, the defaulting bank teller of St. Louis. From the outset Mir. Owen was unfortunate and continuously lost money. He said in court: ''In attempting to recover losses was impelled to draw other sums from the bank, with the delusive hope of making good all distractions and still retain my position, my reputation, and the confidence of my em- ployers, but, as usual in such cases, the at tempt proved futile, and only involved me deeper and deeper, until the final catastrophe of discovery ard guilt and attendant ruin The amount is large, but its dimensions can be readily accounted for in view of the long period of my culpability. can claim that it was with no specific intention to wrong any one that first violated my trust.

The plan Of high licenses for liquor dealers finds much favor in the West. The plan is under discussion in Chicago and the argu- ments in favor of it are substantially the same as those advanced in several other western cities. From seventy-five to ninety per cent of all the Chicago crimes, casual ties, and pauperism is traced directly to rum. Sixty in hundred of tho inmates of the city's penitentiary are by their own comics. sion incorporate. Three-fourths of the work of the criminal courts and the police is caused by drink. A calculation made by the Lum- bermen's Exchange is that license fee of not less than $500 would decrease the mum. Der of bars by one-half, and yield money enough to relieve taxpayers of nearly all of the costs of intemperance. Other bodies, mercantile, religious and philanthropic, take the same ground, and the outlook for the rumsellers is rather dark.
