BUTTONS THAT SIGNIFY MUCH.
How Military Ofiicials Arc Distinguished
by Them.

The INTERROGATION Of the buttons on
n uniform is just as much a matter of
regulation as the cut of coat, saws the
Washington Star. The general wears
two rows of buttons on the breast of
his frock coat, twelve in each row,
placed by fours. The distance be-
tween the rows is five and one-half
inches at the top and three and one
half at the bottom. The lieutenant
general is entitled to only ten buttons
In each row, arranged in upper and
lower groups of three and q middle
group of four. The major general has
nine buttons in each row, placed by
thrces. The brigadier general eight in
groups of twos.
The colonel, lieutenant colonel and
major have nine buttons in each row
arranged at equal distances; the cap
tain and lieutenant seven buttons in
each row at equal distances.
There are different designs, of course,
not only for the buttons of the army,
the navy and the marine corps, but
for the different branches of the serv-
ice. There are the infantry. artillery
and cavalry buttons, the engineers
button, the ordnance corps button,
the button Of the marine corps and the
navy button. The navy button, by the
way, is made in England. because no
American manufacturer has been able
to make a bronze which the sea air
will not tarnish. All of these buttons
the army and navy tailor must keep on
hand and sew on according to regula-
ton,

How . COmplacent Citizen Had His Quiet
Joke on the Fresh Conductor.
The platform of the electric car was
pretty well taken up by the driver. a
man of the "sluggcr" variety and big
bag, over which the man of the SLUG
ger" type appeared to be standing
guard. When the conductor came to
collect the fares he looked sharply at
the bag, and then said to the tough:
iii have ter charge yer fer that
bag"
'Ill bet yer won't" answered the
man, looking angrily at him, as if any
attempt at collection would produce q
prize fight.
'Yes, l will; an if yer don't pay, I'll
put Their bag off. See?" said the con-
ductor, shortly. He gave the man five
minutes more, asked him a second and
third time, then stopped the car and
put the bag off on the sidewalk. The
"slugger" didn't even move, and when
the car had gone about a mile further
the conductor said to him:
eyer don't care much fer that bag il
you wouldn't pay five cents fer it."
"Ah, come off, was the reply.
