What Buttons Are Made OF.

Do you know of what material the
buttons on your coat are made?
Well, perhaps if you did you would
never recognize it in the raw, for in four
cases out of five it is material vulgarly
known as yegetableivory To the trade
it is the ivory nut. Down on the pier of
the Pacific Mail Steamship company
will be seen long rows of sacks made of
jute, which bear the appearance exter-
nally Of being filed with potatoes.
These are stacked at the head of the pier
in the open air. There is no danger of
them being carried away, for they are
as heavy as lead, and not extremely val
liable, as they are. Potatoes would not
remain in that exposed position un-
touched for single night. The ivory
nut, however, is valuable only when it
comes from the hands of the manufac-
turer in the button or the ornamental
state.-New York Telegram.

Uncle ST as a Commentator.

A dozen men who were in the habit Of
loafng away their Sundays outside of
the old Penobscot meeting house, while
their wives attended service, were gath
cred by an enthusiastic young pastor
into Sunday school. They were called
the "horseshed class" and no members
of the school were more regular in at
tendence, or original in response. One
day the lesson was upon the death of
Moses, and the teacher, having located
"Nebos lonely mountain" upon his map,
asked the meaning of "Nebo"-no doubt
having in mind the tutelar deity in
honor of whom the Babylonish digni-
taries bore such goodly names as Nebu-
chadnezzar, Nebuzaradan, etc.
"What do you say, Uncle Si?"
"Wa-a'," answered the old man, SOL
EMMY, "Fve heared that them Bible
names all has meanin's, an l reckon it's
so f body only jest studies into 'em.
Now this here, to me. is palmer n two
times two. / calc'late Moses called it
Nebo because the mountain was so
marster steep it made his knees bow to
get to the top of it. I've clum hills right
down here in Maine, time n time ag'in,
as you could call Nebo and not feel as if
you's swearin, neither. Marster steep~

W. BAKER & CO., Dorchester, Mass
Saw a Dog Headed Serpent.

For over a year there have been ru-
mors regarding the existence of large
serpent at Lake Kenosha, three miles
west of Danbury, but every one who
heard the story received it with in
credulity. But the rnmor grew in spite
of skepticism, and the thoughtless were
forced finally to admit that perhaps there
was something in it.
Friday Edward NJ. Baldwin and George
Downs were fishing in the lake. Both
are elderly Business men and opposed to
notoriety in every way. They were en-
gagged in hauling in fish, when suddenly
to the west of them huge head poked
itself out of the water and contemplated
the fishermen. This was thirty feet away
from their boat. One of the men said it
was not unlike the head of pug dog,
but dark brown or black in color. Both
the fishermen lost interest in their fish
ing and fastened their attention on the
serpent.
After viewing the fishermen for few
minutes the serpent moved toward them
some ten feet, and his entire body was
seen on the surface of the water. 1t
was from fifteen to twenty feet long and
moved slowly and easily, in the manner
of huge snake. 1t took a second view
of the fishermen for few seconds and
then dived.
The sight unnerved the fishermen at
first, but they resolved to get nearer
look. They saw the serpent perhaps
half dozen times, but were unable to
secure closer inspection of it.
The story has been corroborated with
more particulars by John Clark, hotel
proprietor, Theodore Clark, the big box
manufacturer, and many others who
have seen the serpent. These men say
the serpent is as thick as a dogs body

A Sensible View of the Seat Question.

n sensible view or the seat question.
The question of relinquishing seats to
women in the public conveyances is,
like the poor, always with Us. Said a
man. recently discussing is: "There is
just this point which | have come to
realize; either must make up my mind
never to have seat in a car, or I must
decide never to give it up. go and
come to my place of business at the
hours when almost everybody else does;
the cars are invariably crowded and
there are always women standing to
whom it is possible to offer my place, if
/ get one. Such being the case, it is
also possible for me to stand the year
through. cannot see that this sacrifice
is demanded by the conditions.
81 am ready to give up my seat at any
time to any person, woman or man,
whose manner or appearance indicates
less ability to stand than possess, but !
am not willing to resign it every time l
find woman standing. We are fellow
travellers in conveyance in which the
supply of seats will never, until the
millennium, equal the demand; today l
am fortunate, tomorrow she will be,
and think most women prefer to &C
cept this proportion Of success rather
than to have seats continually resigned
to them. At least my womankind have
so expressed themselves to me on the
subject. New York Times.

When the card was handed to Miss
| Dickinson her reply was, well don't I'M
derstand just what is intended by this,
but / don't like to have a thing
sprung upon me in this way, some
| of the questions can answer and others
| really don't remember. Miss Dickinson
| again remarked to the reporter that she
did not like to have questions sprung upon
| her in such a fashion, and that she sup
posed she ought to make an attempt to
answer the questions or appear in false
| light; she also excused the reporter for
being in any to blame for the cards being
sent out and that she wanted the editor to
understand that she would consider that
she would be given the privilege OF de-
Tending herself through the columns of
the EAGLE, should she be in any way mis-
represented by the reporter. The answers
given by Miss Dickinson were as follows:

test. as the purpose of the cards was not q
all understood.
VERY BUSY AT CLEVELAND SCHOOL,
Miss Mary A. Carrie, the principal of
the Cleveland school, responded to the re-
porter's knock, who handed her the ques-
tions. She requested the scribbler to be
seated while she would answer the ques-
tians, but after reading the list of ques-
lions she said that she had no time to an
swer them. The reporter insisted, but the
lady said that her pupils had been sing
ing for some time and that she was be-
hind with her classes. She invited the
reporter to call again some morning of
next week. The reporter suggested that
she would have time to answer one or
more of the questsons, but to this she also
demurred The reporter was not to be
dumfuddled in this manner. but pro-
pounded the questions to one of the as
sistant teachers, Miss Abbie Mossman,
who successfully answered the third and
fifth questions. The seventh question she
answered by saying comma after Thurs

Don't Mend Your Glove. with slrk.

It is very common habit, but a great
mistake, to mend gloves with silk, as the
silk will cut the kid more than fine cotton
thread, thus showing the mend far more
plainly. For the same reason, according
to correspondent of The Housekeepers'
Weekly, it will not hold the edges of the
kid so firmly, but instead will cut through
in time. You will notice that all kid gloves
are sewed with cotton thread. The manu-
facturers understand the difference in the
material and use the most satisfactory.
Thread of all shades. especially put up in
twists for glove mending, can be bought
for trifie. If glove is badly torn OF
ripped try to match its color with a bit OF
silk Lay this under the torn part and
haste it carefully down in small stitches
that do not show on the right side. Their
draw the rip up as carefully as you can
taking up very little of the kid as you dc
so. Neat glove mendin2 is a nice art, and
worthy the consideration of every eco
nomical woman.

South American Love Making.

All the love making in South America
must be carried on through a third per-
son. If a youth desires to marry he
does not speak of it TO the girl whom he
wishes for wife, but to his own father.
The latter, if he approves, goes to the
father of the young lady and the two
discuss the matter together. Each tells
the other what he Will do for the young
folks, and between them a contract IS
drawn up respecting settlements and all
such things.
The intending bridegroom is not per-
mitted to see his fancee for moment
before the Wedding. As soon as that
event has taken place there is a wedding
breakfast, and usually without the for
mality of preliminary tour, the couple
settle down to living, either in an es-
Enlistment of their own or more often
in the house of the parents of the bride
Or the groom.
One drawback about marriage in
South America is that in taking s girl
to wife it is apt to be considered a mat
ter of course that the young man mar
ries her whole family also. He has no
occasion for surprise or disgruntlement
if, together with his bride, fifteen or
twenty people come to share his house
hold and domestic comforts, including
all her available relatives and their serv-
ants.
These Latins are a very clannish race,
and father is apt to be willing to adopt
a raft of sisters and cousins and aunts,
not to mention a mother-in-law, rather
than have his son or daughter leave the
family roof. 1t is due to the strength
of family attachment among them that
hotels in South America are only for
strangers from afar; the natives always
find hospitable entertainment among the
kindred. Commercial Ga
