The Latest Popular Craze started By the

Ehe Latest Popular Craze Started By the
Manufactures Of Bicycles.
People are collecting bulge buttons
nowadays, and there are already eolIec.
tons that number hundreds. The pol.
itician gathers in the emblem Of party
strife o. victories, the bicycIist ex,
changes club buttons with brother BIZ
eyelist, the business man keeps a collec-
ton to see what his rivals are doing.
the small boy to see how many badge
buttons he can secure, and the new
woman follows suit because every one
else is doing it. The craze threatens
to become even o popular than the
button strings made by children 80
years ago.
The bicyclists started the fad. Every
person who buys a bicycle feels himself
bound, while the new a Of owner
ship is strong, to wear a button badge
that proelaims the superiority of his
particular wheel. With secret or
CARNATIONS and bicycle clubs it had
become popular, but with the general
public there was apathy. At this
show the few manufacturers who gave
away badge buttons as souvenirs at
the start were found by their rivals to
be attracting so much attention that
before the show was over everybody
was offering buttons to visitors, and
hundreds of thousands were given
away. Men, women and children came
forth decked with numbers of the little
disks. This started the craze. 10
get more than ones neighbor V the
universal desire, and from bicycling
buttons the rage has spread until every
kind of button is eagerly sought. For
a long time manufacturers of badge
buttons tried to make advertisers see
their value, but they met with no en-.
enlargement until the bicycle dealers
took the idea up. Then the bulge but
ton leaped into the swim.
The politicians early saw the value Of
badge buttons, and the number used for
political booming is enormous. One
OF the leading firms turns out v e 5OO,-
coo buttons each week, and is behind
in its orders. At present the great
demand is for political buttons. What
V the character of the button, the
collectors are diligently harvesting the
supply as fast as it appears. The de-
mands made by button collectors upon
one firm manufacturing badge buttons
have become so great that it has pre-
pared a circular enumerating 1874 diff
ferent varieties of bicycle buttons
which it sells at five cents each. The
same firm is getting out other lists for
general collectors, embracing other
buttons besides the bicycle badges.
It is not out of the ordinary run Tor this
firm to receive by mail checks ranging
from ten to fifty dollars for badge but
tons, every one of different design.
The circus is the latest employer of
this form of advertising, and the
provincial towns are to be well deco.
rated with the novelty. The craze has
spread to Canada. The political situa
ton there has seen the advent Of the
badge button, and on the queens birth
day a vast number of buttons IRE to
be sent forth showing the portrait OF
the queen on a white ground.-N. X.

shiftless that occasionally the large

and such a beguiling tongue that she
fails to amuse them and finally
to win them back. AT one time when
money was given her to buy warm un.

q large plush photograph album. The
minister spoke to her with considerable
severity, as did also his wife, and for
some time Bridget received no calls
from either of them. One afternoon,
however, the minister ~relented and
stopped at Bridget's door on bis way
to see a sick woman. "Shure, and it's
