4 Tragedy in Buttons.

Little Johnny West, of Detroit, is now
in good condition to play Button, but
ton, who's got the button?' His mother
gave him half a dozen horn buttons to
hold while she threaded a needle and got
ready to sew them on his clothes. Master
Johnny swallowed the buttons, n and
all, and doesn't know why he did it. AS
a walking button box he seems to be a
complete success.-Detroit Free Press.

Proportions of the Human Figure.

The proportions of the human figure
are six times the length of the right foot.
The face from the highest point of the
forehead, where the hair begins, to the
end of the chin is one-tenth of the whole
stature. The hand from the wrist to
the end Of the middle finger is also one
tenth of the total height. From the
crown to the nape of the neck is one
twelfth of the stature.-Current Litera-

..Or Nv, That Toothache,"

Toothache, caused by a cold in the
facial nerve, may often be relieved by
wrinsing a soft towel out of cold water
and s~prinkling it with strong vinegar.
This should be laid on the face like a
poultice, and will often be followed by a
refreshing sleep.-New York Journal.

The worlds fair has brought thou
sands of poor workingmcn to Chicago
who expected to find work without
difficulty or delay. Their visionary
plans, as everybody now knows. were
not realized, and the result has been a
wonderful growth in the number OF
mcndicants. Many of the men who
now stop prosperous-looking citizens on
the street and beg for few cents to
buy meal or secure Il nights lodging
are, no doubt, really in need of help.
They left their homes in remote parts
of the country with just enough money
to reach Chicago. When they arrived
here they found ten thousand men wait
ing for something to turn up. as long

knows anything about the rcd-tapc
necessary to secure help from such
sources will not be surprised that long
before their wants wcrc complied with

Most of them being honest men, who
had never boon guilty OF crooked

principal thoroughfarcs of the city and
the streets of the suburbs located near
the worlds fair site were full of able
bodied men seeking, with Inundated
looks and gestures help from their more
fortunate brothers Since active work
has been begun at Jackson park the
number of INDECENT workmen has de-
creased, but there still remain hundreds
who have not enough money to reach
their old homes, and who must per-
iorce depend on charity for an existence
The advent OF these involuntary men,
dicants has not seriously intcrfered
with the business of the professional
fraternity. To secure good results at
begging person must lose all sense of
shame, and an honest man compelled
by necessity to approach strangers for
aid looks guilty whenever lie presents
his request for aims Ninc-tcnths of
the fellows who now seek aid on the
plea of abjcct poverty caused by their
removal to Chicago are frauds pure and
simple who wear the garb of working
men merely to excite sympathy. Every

Unless the American people learn to
grow hard-hcartcd or less gulliblc, the
clever alms-scckcrs from abroad will
soon become an important factor in the
local affairs of our great cities. 1t is
even now unsafe to refuse their APP
peals, and many citizens are insulted
every day for refusing to con-
tribute blacliri;iil to sturdy fellows
who have adopted mcndicancy as pro-
fcssion: and timid women arc intirni-

our great cities would convince them
that the passage and enforcement of n
rigid immigration law has become IN

cialism Condemned.

DR.. George c. Lorimcr closed his pas
toratc ut the Emmanuel Baptist church,
Chicago, Il short time ago. The church
held the largest congregation that had
ever entered its doors. The open spaces
were filled and the vestibulc was
crowded with those who, though they
could catch but an occasional word,
stGid through the service. The clergy
man, who has served Emmanuel church
for twelve years. has accepted IL call to
return to fremont temple, Boston,
where he will again take up his work
III the fall of this year.

Lord Salisbury Rapidly Whipping Around
From the Gold BASIS.
LONDON, June 11.-An intimate politi-
cal friend of Lord Salisbury quotes that
statesman as privately making very in
significant statements regarding the
British governments future financial
policy. Salisbury has always been
credited with being an outand- out
radical moncmctallist. A year ago he
was said to have openly snubbcd a
group of memoralists who wanted to
win him over to their idea that limited
silver monetization would work wonders
for England. And it is said that Mr..
Goschen was obliged to sidctrack his
silver note scheme because OF Lord
Salisbury'S circumstances. Yet. this
sam, premier is now being quoted as
using language like this:
"Conditions materially modifying tho
financial situation Of the whole world, :"
he is represented as saying, "havc cen
developed during the past twelve
months. Thc-.world has been growing
faster commercially and financially
than it has in populations: and to
greater or less extent old methods will
have to be supplemented and the bust
ness machinery Of the world developed
and enlarged. 1t begins to look as if
there was not enough gold in sight to
satisfac torily tinancicr the business of
