An interesting Industry.

Making buttons Of blood is ono OF
the many ways known of utilizing
waste. There is large factory i'm
Bridgeport. near Chicago, employing
about one hundred boys and girls. in
which waste animal blood is converted
into buttons. The same firm has
another large factory elsewhere. A
man named Hirsh was the first to in
troduce the business into this country.
some years ago. He lost $16. 900 the
first six months. but he stuck to it and
is now immensely wealthy. There are
. number Of similar factories in En-
gland. From eight thousand to ten
thousand gallons of blood arc
used in the Bridgeport factory
every day. Nothing but fresh
beef blood is used. 1t is said
that pigs blood is just as good.
but it is too much trouble TO collect and
save it. Considerable of the blood
evaporates during the process OF dry
ing. but what remains is pure albu-
men. Some of it is light in color. and
some dark. according to the chemical
treatment given it. These thin sheets
of dried blood are then broken
up, and arc ready to be worked into
various shapes and sizes. Not only
are buttons made from blood in this
way. but tons Of earrings. breastpins,
belt-clasps. combs and trinkets are
made annually there from blood

TWO KINDS OF RESINS.

Those That Were In Use Among the An.
Client Egyptians.
Among the minor incidents Of recent
explorations in Egypt is the unearth-
ing of two resins which were not
previously known to have been includ-
cd in the materia medica OF the ancient
Egyptians. The first Of these was
found in a small jar that was disin-
TERED in a perfect state from a heap
of rubbish among the ruins OF Nau-
crntiA. the site of a Greek colony. and
attributed to the Sixth Century H. c.
This resin, of which there was about
eight ounces. was opaque and OF a
brown color on the surface. but under
meath was partly Of q clear golden yel-
low color and partly Of darker tint

il softcned in the mouth and tasted
like mastic, but il had also the
peculiar flavor OF Chan turpentine

odor of that drug when rubbed be

in solubility in alcohol. For these and
other considerations this ancient resin
has been pronounced by Mr.. Holmes.

Pharmaceutical Society. to be identical
with Chan turpentine. although there
does not appear to have been any
previous evidence that the drug was
known TO the ancient Egyptian The
earliest extant mention Of Chan tur-
pen;iue is by Theophrastus. who lived
from $40 to 285 b C. The discovery
OF this pot therefore. il the identifica-

the drug back another two centuries.

reported ON by Mr.. Holmes. occurs on

Century. When burnt 1t gave Oh

roux, of Albany. is constantly doing
kindly things which have the merit
of usefulness. Several years ago he
rearranged the well-known lines that
give the rulers OF England. from Will
lam the COnqueror down to Victoria
The arrangement is simple. the lines
being easily committed to memory by
observing that each century (exceYt
the seventeenth. which has two linea).

upright dash in the line indicates the
middle OF the century,ss nearly "a may
be. For the benefit Of Our readers. es-
pecially our younger ones, who are
studying English history. We reprint
Prof. LamorOux's arrangement, with
his explanatory notes. Prof. Lamo-
roux deserves the thanks OF all stu

EARLY ENGLISH MELODY.

The Kind Of Roags Sung In the Haleyoa
Days of Alnstrelsy.
The earliest specimens Of English
National melody we believe to be found
in the now well.known madrigal
Summer Is . coming in. which dates
about 1850. Ono OF its earliest ar
rxngements was as six-part song for
men. but it is now generally accepted
that this was formed on an original
national song, selected according to
the custom Of the time a. basis for
harmony" Its character is purely
pastoral. suggestive of shepherds
pipes and birds notes, that there is q
very English ring about the music
must be allowed; as melody, however.
which indeed is only to be expected, it
bears no comparison with those Of
more recent date, and Is principally
interesting as being the earliest speci-
men attainable Of English Ma
tional music. II is not within our
province to deal with the harpers and
minstrels who preceded and followed
the time Of Summer is . coming in. :"
Their songs, no doubt, held a national
position. interesting the people and
being sung by them; but little Of their
art has come down to US, and the es-
tablishment of printing in England
was the signal for their decadence.
People ceased to caro- to listen to their
long yarns when they could buy the
little printed collections Of songs called
"Garlands" for themselves Suffice it
to say that in those early days the posi-
tion Of minstrel was very prominent
and important one; no great house was
without its minstrel band. whose pay.
ment was far in advance of that OF the
ordinary clergy. In the fourteenth
century music seems to have been al
most as general rs 1t is at present; the
instruments used were the ''harp,
psaltery, rebec, fiddle. ba3pipe,
flute, trumpet, rote. and git
tern" Abundant passages can be
found in the works of Chaucer (from
which both Burney and Chappell have
largely drawn), showing that all his
most important characters were cred
tied with some skill in music. and thus
testifying TO the fashion Of the day.
The minstrel's dress. we are told in .
later account was = long gown Of
Kendall green; after three lOwly
courtesies he cleared his voice with u
hem-wiped his lips with the hollow OF
his hand. tempered string or two
with his wrist and. after a little
warbling on his harp for prelude. came
forth with a solemn song" We also
know that the minstrels ''hOurished ex-
ceedingly." indeed. too much so; for
toward the end Of Elizabeth's reign.
when their decline was already far I'D.
vanced. so many dishonest persons had
adopted the calling that an act Of Par
lament was obliged to he passed de-
Gliding that minstrcls wandering abroad
.''were rogues, vagabonds and sturdy
beggars. to be punished ~ such. "
