Won by a Gun Button.

do you see that peculiar looking stud
that man is wearing on his shirt front?''
said a hotel clerk the other day, point
ing to a gentleman standing near by,
and on whose expansive bosom was
fastened gold button with a bird in
black enamel upon it.
"That man is St. Louis drummer.
and he has been wearing that stud for
twenty years to my knowledge added
the clerk. 1T was twenty years ago
that he married relative of Patrick
Egan, of Nebraska Previous to that
time Il certain young business man of
Chicago was also courting her, and
among the presents he once gave her was
a pair OF cuff buttons, of which that strd
was one. The rival saw these buttons
one day on the young lady's cuffs, and
in jest purloined one of them and placed
1t In his shirt front. When leaving the
house afterward he encountered the
Chicago suitor, who spied the jewel. An
explanation WAS demanded of the young
lady and an angry scene followed. ard
the Chicago man left i'll huff
When the st. Louis drummer called
the next time he proposed and was ac-
cepted. After their marriage his wife
told him that had the Chicago lover pro-
posed first, which he undoubtedly would
have done but for the cuff button episode,
she would have accepted him. Ever
since that time the happy husband has
been wearing that button, and money
could not buy it of him. San Francisco

Training Dog to Dig for Trunies.


1t has been found that dogs could be
trained to hunt trnffles, and so great is
the demand in France for the truff1e that
many of the canine species are now, in
certain districts, possessed of this esti-
mable talent. The training through
which they pass in order to acquire
scent is a decidedly agreeable one To
begin with, finely cut or sliced truffles
are mixed daily with their food, until at
length they develop a liking for the
flavor.
Afterward their owners conceal in
some portion of field where truffies are
supposed to exist little tin dish of filet
aux truffes, covering the same with
few handfuls of earth. The dog is then
brought out and urged to hunt for the
dish, goaded by an empty stomach.
When he at length finds it he is caressed
by his master, and thus in the space of
few weeks he will readily learn to
hunt for the vegetable itself Washing

q Severe Law.

not Whist they are represented to be- Under
this statute thousands of pounds of tea have
been burned because of their wholesale adul-
teration.
Tea, by the way, is one of the most notori-
ously adulterated articles of commerce. Not
alone are the bright, shiny green teas artif-
ciaHy colored, but thousands of pounds of
substitutes for tea leaves are used to swell
the bulk of cheap teas; ash, sloe, and willow
leaves being those most commonly used.
Again, sweepings from tea warehouses are
colored and sold as tea. Even exhausted ten
leaves gathered from the tea-houses are kept,
dried, and made over and find their way into
the cheap teas.
The English government attempts to stamp
this out by confscation; but no tea is too
poor for us. and the result is, that probably
the poorest teas used by any nation are those
consumed in America
Beech's Tea is presented with the guar
anty that it is uncolored and unadulterated;
in fact the sua-curca tea leaf pure and SIM
pie Its purity insures superior strength,
about one third less of 1t being required for
an infusion than of the artificial teas, and ita
