A Crushed BQstle.

The passengers on Tenth street car
the o her day were convulsed with laugh
ter ct the pointed illusion made by a
corpulent passenger to the enormous
hustle of lady rider. The passenger
was a market woman of some $40 pounds
weig ht, who boarded the car at Columbia
avenue. The seats on one side were
comfortably filled with men diligently
reading their newspapers, and a few
cold faced women who tried to stare the
newcomer out of countenence. The
other side of the Car was com oil etely fill
ed by five young ladies, conspicuous
wealth of hustle spread out OF the
seat. The market woman sought TO
crush her with a look of whitening scorn
but with Indifferent success. Then she
adopted plan of warfare that ssttiedthe
struggle most effectively for the owner of
the hustle and the CONSERVATION of the
lady passengers. Suddenly planting her
300 pounds on the mammoth hustle of
the slender beauty the market woman
exclaimed in tertile brogue: "Move de
hump, yer dudine; if yez had been born
made"
The beauty collapsed, the men laugh
ed loud and long, the ladies stopped the
car and retreated hugging their bust'es
while the victorious market woman ex-
changed smiles with the conductor and
murmured a few words about the decline
in "dudines" and b2stle-wearing femin-
inity.

BONE BUTTONS.
What They are Made of and the Processes of
Their Manufacture.

What They are Made of and the Processes of
Their Manufacture.
From human bonesF Ny. From ivory ?
No. From bone of dog or cattle? No.
The othey day writes CORES pondent
of an English paper happened to call
on Mr.. Church, who is the master of a
small button factory in Birming ham, and
was greatly interested il seeing a tallor's
bone button made. just such one as you
would fnd Oh your ulster or a tweed coat.
1t was queer little factory, made out of
two Or three cottages rolled into one.
First of all I was introduced to the raw
material, which lay on the floor of dark
and dingy little workshop, in which a
solitary workman was standing at his
bench. "Tnere." said Mr.. Crurch, point
ing to what 1 took to be potatoes, Ssh. re
you see what we call vegetable ivory. It
comes from South America, and grows in
clusters of half dozen nuts. That is the
first state of the button" We then went
up TO the workman who was cutting up
the kernels of the nuts at a swiftly re
volylng circular saw, an operation re-
curing great dexterity, for sIiD might
cost him finger. This is the first pro
cess. The kernel is easily extracted the
she'll in which it is enclosed being very
thin and fragile. Although the kernel is a
nut it would take very strong pair of
jaws to crack it, and the teeth can not
touch it. The little white slabs which are
cut out by the saws are taken to the next
department., where the button is really
formed, in the series of lathes throug h
which it is passed. The tool ker,
whose Office is very important, works al
one end of the room; the first lathe cuts
out the button with the desired circum-
ference, regulated by series of gauges
the work being passed on to others for
the rim and SO on. Two women we're
drilling the four holes of the buttons,
this being done by taking up each Que
and subjeciing it to the action of the
four pronged horizontal drills, doing
their work with remarkable deftness and
rapidity. The bHtton, so far as it's form
goes, is finished. 1t now remains to do
the polishing and dyeiug. In another
room are half dozen hexagonal boxes
revolving in an atmosphere of dust.
They contain the buttons, which are now
being polished by the action of some hard
powder, which Is placed with them in the
boxes. There is secret in every trade,
and l fancy that the contents of the
mixture with which the buttons are
eventually stained are not divulged to
the world. Down below I was taken into
another room, in which there were scores
of tins containing dyes, and many buckets
holding chemical solutions. When the
buttons are ready for receiving the dye
they are place on Tin tray, holding
think gross. The dye is then blow on
TO them by spray, which eau es the
liquid to fall very naturally. The trays
are then put into gas-heated oven, and
afterward put on to the cards ready for
the marked. Such is the interesting
history of bone button, one of the many
wonders of Birming ham, that town of
magicIans.

An Eyewitness Describes the Smash-Up o
the Imperial Train.
Private letters from st. Petersburg
give thrilling details of the narrow escs pc

recent railroad accident which smashed
the imperial car into fragments. The
ear, the empress, the crown prince and
two or three more of the I'm perial children
were at dinner when tie wreck came aud
this is how an eyewitness describes the
escape of the royal family:
"0ut of the crushed wood work of the

party, seated around the dining table the
floor sinks, the whole bottom of the car
riage disappears. The four walls crushed

unsupported ROOF gives way. and is pre-
vented from falling on the heads of the
empress and the august children only by
the powerful arms of the emperor, who

bankment; the little Grand Duke Michae

A SMART DOG.
The Clever Trick He Played Upon an Unsus-

very cunning little dog is owned By a
professional man of this city. The dog is
in the habit of going to sleep on car
pet covered lounge in the Office, and, even
after his maaeer had switched him a
number of times for curling up On the
sofa instead of on an Ole coat that had
bsen spread in corner Of the Office for
him to lie upon, he disobeyed On the sly.
There was always dra1ght nf wind

lounge much better than he old the old
coat. So ne continued Tor some time to
run the risk of getting whipping for
lying on the lounge while mis- master was
out of the Office, and then he thought of
a trick that fouled his master for a wenk

curled up on ths old coat when the pro-
fessional man returned, and for few
days it was supposed that the dog had
been effectually broken of his habit of

the dogs owner heard scampering IN

door. PIGGY was on the coat when ne
went inside, and he was making believe

rest. His master returned within two
minutes, and the moment his foot struck

lounge, roshed to the corner, and appear

THE PECULIAR PEOPLE.


They Establish Their Right TO Live and Die
Without Doctors Advice
England has curious sect known as
the Peculiar People, and their popularity
consists in regarding the EN- plOyment of
physicians as a sin. Ia case of sicku ess
they depend upon the prayer of faith,
amounting with oil and probably hygienic
measures so far as they understand them.
When the death of child occurs among
these people, it has been customary Tor
the government to step in and prosecute
tbs parents on the charge of neglect. The
Pail Mall Gazette says Of these prosecu-
tions: 'When iuries were first called up
on to sit in judgement upon the victims
of the prayer and amounting oil made of
treatment; they promptly returned YER
diets of manslgDgh liter and the Peculiar
People were cast into prison as martyrs
for their faith. With them, as with most
persons of that temper, imprisonment
only stiffened their resolution. The
struggle has gone on for years, bu6

The mother, questioned by the coroner,

thought he might have done something
for the case if he had been called, but
the jury vindicaEed the right of the Pc
culiar people 10 their own religious and
medical notions. The Pail Mail Gazette
comments thus: "When ouce people are

nary man that it is no use torturing
them, then the landmarks of liberty are

making no mistake. Mr.. HAYES did
wrong in tue FIRST instance in marrying
two women. When a man marriss two
women be Is already on the downward
road. "One wife seems TO call for
another" iu such case, and then iil-feeI-
ing arises. Mr.. HAYES, of course, then
tried TO obviate the wife he had at first
married, and now people dislike him for
1t.
Mr.. HAYES made a mistake, also, in
marry ing a woman, any how. He should
have married a Southern hotel carpet
and then little beating wouldn't have
been out of place, though of course il
might have aroused suspicion.
No man shonlG accumulate a family
with view toward graduating them as
soon as he becomes weary of them and
desires TO become the head of another
family for whom he has higher regard.
And so Mr.. HAYES is in very trying po-
sition at this time. He may wake up
most any morning now and find himself
In feloa's grave. This ought TO be q
solemn warning TO little boys ana girls
who may be tempted to wipe out a pre-
vious family in order to become more
solid, may say, with q recent one.

JEILIED APPLES.
House Drainage.


Among the fruitful causes of disease IN
the country, which can be avoided by
care, are bad drainage and bad ventila-
ton OF house drains. The doctors dis
agree in many things in regard to the
proper treatment of disease, but we be-
lieve they agree tolerably we'll in declar-
ing that some of the causes of certain
diseases, especially typhoid fever and
di oh iberia, may be easily avoided by
strict attention to cleanliness, especially
to thorough drainage of our house cellars,
kitchen sinks, water closets and stables,
and the proper ventilation of all drain
pipes, SO that foul air can by no chance
back up the drain pipes into the dwelling.
Space does not permit US to notice the
very many defects prevalent in the ordi-
nary work of inexperienced plumbers
we can only allude to one of the most
common, the failure to work of the com
mon water trap In a drain pipe, by the
syphoDing action of water flowing into
the same drain either above or below the
point in question. The water in the
trap is sucked out by this action, ard be-
fore we know what the cause of the trou-
BILE is, bad smell is found to issue from
some part of the system of drain pipes
inside of the house.
One of the most difficult parts of the
drainage of the ordinary house is the
sink drain. The difficulty arises from the
deposit of grease on the interior of the
drain which will gradually choke up the
entire passage, even of a large drain, if
suitab g means are not provided for ar
resting it.
When the supply OF soap for family
use was dependent upon that manufacfur-
ed at home from the soap grease saved
aud the carefully hus5anded wood ashes,
there was less trouble with our sink
drains than at present. Then the drip
pings OF the roasted meat. the skimming
of tn plates from each meal were care
fully saved for soap grease. It is need
less TO say that large portion of this
now goes into the sink drain, wherever
the average hired cook rules the extrava-
CANT waste of the kitchen. And even
where care is taken to save the grease, a
good deal of it inevitably is washed from
The plates and dishes, and goes to heI o
stop the sink drain unless we take care of
it.
There are several patent and efficient
devices to accom- plish this, and known a.
grease traps. They are placed in the
cellar directly under TIE sink, or outside
the cellar wall close to the house. The
plan of them all is sim pie, and easily i'm
ltated, by any ingenious person, in ma
son work or iron. The essential points
being tank large enough TO cool off and
allow to settle any probable amount OF
hot water mixed with grease that may
