Shoe Buckles.

The manufacture of buckles contributed
largely to the employment of Warwick
shire and Staffordshire ingenuity during
the last century. In 1881 all gentlemen Of
tone sported on their shoes a large square
buckle plated with silver, and as the ladies
soon adopted the ~reigning taste, sit was
difficult" us Hutton, the historian of Bir-
mingham, remarks, "to discover their beau
tiful little feet covered with an enormous
shield of buckle, and men wondered to see
the active motion under the massive load"
The massive load soon after this became
~unsupportable for both sexes. Strings
came into fashion, and consequently a
large class Of ingenious artisans were COM
PEELED to suffer the loss of their usual en-
.ployment.
In 1891 a deputation of master buckle
makers from the towns of Birmingham,
Walsall and Wolverhampton obtained an
audience of the Prince of Wales (afterward
George IV) at Carlton House, where they
presented q petition setting forth the dis
tressed situation of thousands who had
been engaged in the different departments
of buckle making, consequent upon the
fashion which was then prevalent of wear
ing strings. The prince promised not only
to wear buckles on his own shoes, but to
order the members of his household to do
the same. But the commands of royalty
were nugatory when opposed to the man.

Cigar Buyers.

"Give me three good cigars" he said,
throwing down a dollar. The cigar man
handed out three cigars and seventy-five
cents in change, which the customer pock-
eted and then walked away. How did
you know he wanted three-fora-quarter
cigars?" l asked. why" answered the
dealer, she said good cigars, didn't he?"
Eyes, but those are not the best cigars
you have" Course not, but fellows al
ways say good cigars. when they want
three for a quarter. If they want higher
priced cigars they walk up to the counter
and call out the name of the brand or the
price they want to pay, SOS everybody can
hear them,
"They say: Some Of your perfectos,
please or Are these Garcias fresh?' or
Your best imported brand or Three of
ny usual kind or something like that.
If they want five cent cigars, they walk in
quietly and tap the case over the box con-
tanning the kind they want without saying
a word, and if they want twofers or stogas
they come in slyly when there is no one
else around. But when a fellow wants
plain three for a quarter he just steps up
and says, Three good ones and every
cigar man knows what he means.''-Bran-

An underground city is reported by
Russian newspapers as having been found
in Russian Turkestan, near the Bokharan
town of Karki. The entrances are by a
series of large caves in the side of a rocky
hill. Effgies and inscriptions have been
found, and also designs upon gold and sill
yer money, which lead to the belief that
the town dates back to some two centuries
before the birth of Christ. There are a
number of streets and squares surrounded
by houses two and three stories high.
Urns, vases, cooking pots and other uten-
sils have been found in great abundance.
The symmetry of the streets and the
squares and the beauty of the baked clay
and metal utensils attest the fact that the
people had reached an advanced stage Of
civilization. 1t is supposed the town was
concealed in the earth to give the popula:
ton a refuge from the incursions Of saw

EX-SENATOR

One of Wisconsin's Recent Representa-

Hon. John Colt Spooner is of a very old
New England family, a native of Indiana,
long time resident of Wisconsin, an ex-

newspaper men and is but forty-nine
years old. He is therefore one of the
rising men of the nation. When he took
his seat in the United States senate from
Wisconsin, in 1885, he was forty-two years
old and at once took high rank in that
body.

The Rudeness of Lady Holland.

The long sway Of Lady Holland in Eng
Gsh society is an illustration of what bully
ing can do under the most adverse condi-
tions. She was a divorced wife, with a
child born before she could be married to
her second husband; she was habitually
rude to those who would stand it,; she was
gross in appearance and fantastic in man
ner, and yet she was not only tolerated but
eagerly sought after, and for many years q
lady of the first fashion in the greatest
city in the world.

Dress and Manner of n Coachman.

Count Wrangel, who published an excel
lent Book on the Horse" full of truisms
and witticisms, put down the following
rules for coachmen, which are generally
followed:
The coachman shall sit in a straight
but not stiff position, with the arms touch
ing his body, the legs stretched forward
heel to heel, on the right side of the box,
and only have eyes for his business. He
must never salute anybody Of his acquaint-
ance whom he might possibly meet, but
when a member of the house enters he has
to touch the rim of his hat with the handle
of his whip. He must never crack the
whip. And his feet should not be Gov
cred even in winter, as it might possibly
lead people to think that his footgear is
not in order.

ocean in eighteen minutes less time.

by Mr.. Mills to strike out of the bill certain
words that might allow the two ships to
avail themselves of the postal subsidy was
