w. Butler s. Co.

1t was natural that the great fire that
laid SO much of our fair city in ashes
last fall should produce few changes in
the business houses of the city Some
businesses changed hands; some await
reconstruction and reestablishment in
the spring; very few passed out of exist
enee, while number of new firms
rightly calculating on the increased de-
mand for certain lines of goods necessary
for rebuilding the burnt district have
cast their lot amongst us. One OF the
most popular additions of this class is
the Arm of w. Butler & Co. The senior
member of the firm and manager is a
gentleman thoroughly familiar with the
line of business he conducts having been
for years in the employ of the Michigan
Lumber company of Vancouver. Wash
ington. The firm is located on that part
of the city known as the Laughlin Home
stead and it has obtained a. five years
lease of a square of one hundred and
fifty feet which corners on Jefferson and
Main street. After considerable patient
negotiation Mr.. Butler has succeeded in
having side track laid along the north
line of his lots where cars can be loaded
and uuloaded with great convenience.
Nearly the entire square is covered with
lumber, lath, shingles and sawed cedar
posts, while large shed is filled with
dry dressed lumber, embracing finishing
lumber, red wood and larch wainscoting,
double beaded fir wainscoting, yellow
fir rustic, fiuted red wood casing and
dressed pickets besides full variety Of
the ordinary lines of pine and fir floor
ing and rustic. Mr.. Butler ships largely
from Lautervelle Falls, Bridal Veil and
Portland and a better quality of lumbe,
than that handled by this firm is simpI,
to be found nowhere. Besides the line.

Original Ideas and Dressmakers.

Original Ideas and DressmakerS.
In my experience have long since
come to the conclusion that if you are
not a fashion plate, an actress or So
ciety woman celebrated as a model on
which dressmakers show new exhibits,
you must do your own thinking when
you want something little different
from one of dozen turned out at the
mandatory. But in case you find
yourself under the necessity of doing
your dressmaker's head work, there is
no need of going to first class man or
woman who sends first class bills You
must find a woman who fits well, who is
not so stubborn but that she will take
and execute some one else's ideas, who
will become interested in the work for
the works sake and who is intelligent
enough to do some suggesting herself.
But I hear my readers exclaim, 'sThat
pearl is impossible to find"
It is perhaps difficult, but not impossi-
BILE. have never found it SO. When /
lived in America it was almost impossi-
BILE to convince my friends that did not
wear imported dresses, that had them
made right in town; and here in Paris ]
have been faithful to my little obscure
dressmaker for the last ten years for gar
ments-cloaks as well as dresses. Those
dressmakers, like good servants, can be
found. There are few of them left,
and don't see why I should not be as
clever as my neighbor, find them out and
have the benefit of their services.-Paris

ancient Butter il the Bog. Or Erin.

Louisville Courier-Journal;
Numerous specimens of ancient butter
are to he seen in the Irish museums,
which were discovered during the past
century by peasants engaged in digging
peat. Some of them were dug from
depths OF ten, fifteen and even eighteen
feet below the surface of the ground,
and considerable antiquity must be
allotted to the finds, although no abso-
lutte data exists by which the average in
crease of bog soil may be calculated.
Examples of this butter weigh as much
as thirty and forty pounds and upward,
and are identified by the numerous hairs
of reddish color. as being the product of
the COW. The butteris found packed in
followed vessels of wood, and in masses
of irregular form. The latter are usually
surrounded by layer of moss, and at
times have an additional covering oi
linen cloth. The object of thus buryine
butter in peat or immersing it in bog
water would appear to be for its preser-
yation under circumstances and in dis
tricts where salt could not be procured
