coat. The average young Lady or tCGay
will wear, when on the street, from SIX
to ten pins and buttons, according to her
sympathy with the number of clubs, So
cieties, classes and so on.
The increase in the use of buttons has
a logical reason. Every lodge or organ
ization has its emblems or coat of arms.
In olden days ii used to be the custom to
wear this on the shield and probably en-
broidered on the cloak and other garments
of the member. This custom was discarded
as changes in dress were instituted. and
badges began TO be worn. These badges
decreased in size gradually, until of late
years they have become quite modest in
extent.
ADVANTAGES OF THE BUTTON.
1T was but another and an advanta geous
step to the button. The badge at its best
is complex and untitled for everyday wear
With its many sharp corners, its pins, and
its ribbons it is ever in danger OF deStruc-
ton. The button solved the problem. 1t is
small; it is ordinarily round, and there
fore not menace TO clothing and neck
wear; it is devoid of pins, and a mans
hands do not always look like he has been
playing with a buzz saw when he wears one;
lastly, on its smooth surface it is easy to
put the emblem of the order to which the
member belongs, SO that its purpose is
fulfilled in every manner
Then the maker and dealer began 10
display before the reporter fraction of the
200 buttons referred to above.
There is more demand for this button
than probably any other one in the world at
this minute" said he, as he laid a pretty

parently as substantial as when first built,
and unchanged through all those years,
with the exception of the bell tower.
There is q warm feeling of reverence for
this sanctuary in the hearts of all good
AleXandrians, and the visitor is shown
with pride the relics of Washington con-
tained herein as well US the large double
pew where he was accustomed to sit.
1t has also had as members the AleXan-
ders, after whom the city was named; the
Fairfaxes, Carlyles, Lees, Paynes, ETC.,
and occasional visitors, like Marquis de
Lafayette, Gen. Braddock, A aron Burr, and
the notables OF that age.
The Alexandria house OF Gen. Robert
e. Lee, who attended this church in an
other generation, is a little farther along
the street 1t was formerly owned by
" Lighthouse Harry Lee, and, like nearly
all of the mansion houses here, ii contains

This was once truly garden" city, If
one is to judge from their number. These
breathing places were kept in fine style
in the days of our forefathers, who prided
themselves in making them attractive by
plants of rare species, roses, and blooming
trees of different varieties. Garden
parties were frequent, because sociability
was marked trait, and on these occasions
the young gallant fingered in these shell
tered places TO whisper sweet nothings in
the ear OF his lady love.
Now one only occasionally finds gar

1t would not do TO leave Alexandria
before visiting the old Braddock House
and its garden. This famous old mansion
is now walled in from the street on which
IL used to front by houses Of modern con-
strucuon, and TO gain an entrance one
has TO go through the hotel property, the
Mansion House, to q courtyard where it
stands hemmed in from public gaze.
A little boy procures the great iron key
TO turn It's rusty, timeworn lock, and eX-
plains its historic associations as he guides
visitors through, because it is kept merely
as a relic and is entirely unoccupied save
by mice and rats. Its age shows itself on
every hand. The plastcring is loose and
badly cracked In places, the iron is thick
with rust and the woodwork warped and
dingy.
In the main room in the house is where
the British council sat, and from the fact
of Gen. BraddOck having met that body
of governors here and his forming plans
for his Inflated campaign against the
French and Indians at Fort Duquesne, in
this room, the house got the name it bears.
1t is not large room, but it was, for
its day, most deliberately finished. The
walls are OF panelCd wood, painted a
bright blue, with heavy carved frieze
chair board, and mouIdings over the doors
in white. The paneling over the mantel-
piece indicates the presence of a picture
or Il mirror at some time, and primitive
cupboard stands opposite the door. Win

once splendid garden and spacious lawns

being almost twenty inches above il, thus
making of their cmbrasurcs seats deep and
wide and fully able TO accommodate two
persons.
WASHINGTON COMMISSIONED HERE.
IL was to this room also that young
Col. Washington was summoned TO appear
before the CCuncil and to receive his conl-
mission as an officer nom Gen. BraddOck.
\ more pleasant memory If this SquarestOne
house is of the frequent oCcaS ions when
Mr.. and Mrs. Carlyle received their good
friends, the WashmgtOns, who drove up
from Mt. Vernon, and tEc gaicty Of which
they were so fond.
Leaving this mcmory-hauntCd place, we
again reach the Market space, with the
market in full blast, where stream of peo-
pie elbow each other past the stalls OF
dealers, who strive To outdo one another in
laudine their wares with selfishness Is
old as society. The curb in front is lined
with the vehicles of the country merchants,
and some of the outfits of the Colored people
are extremely picturesque ana ludicrous.
One of these rigs is the ''bull-cart,'
which our artist caught, as inc Eph was
about To leave town after having disposed
of his produce.
Sauntering along the narrow street, as
one returns 10 the ferry, is noticed more Of
old Alexandria. A venerable house demands
a glance as one pa sses, the gardens creeping
into the streets have inviting spaces be-

one likes to peep at old fountains, now over

THE MoRN1NG TIMES, SUNDAY, MARCH s, 1896

Memories OF good times cluster about
these taverns, and social events OF great
brlliancy often took place within their
hospitable walls. One OF the events of the
year, in which the F. f. VS. participated
was the 'Brthnight Ball given at one Of
these taverDs. Onthese occasions the Father
Of His Country ''trpped the light fantastic
toe and led in the dignified minuet.
But that was long ago. Instead of the
watchman OF yorc, who walked the streets
at night, armed with an esponton, and cried
the hours supplemented by "Alls well and
wintry weather" If it happened to be of
that variety, you will now find Il blue
coated policeman, with brass buttons and
the modern club. And likewise, the cleo
trio cars now hurry one along through the
streets instead OF the emblazoned coach of
by-gOne days.
If one were to picture these old cobbled
streets, which in some parts Of town still
contain the Pompeiian style OF stepping
stones to cross from one side to the other
in inclcment weather one would display
"A grand array of cquipaees, more especially
if the day be Sunday.
Church-gong was necessary for social
position, aud, therefore, the gentry came
to town on that day with their large,

ELECTRICITY and Antltoxine.

Experiments made with electricity on
the toxins of disease by NM. d'ATsonval
and Charrin show that the effect is to
attenuate the toxin, converting it into
useful antidote. The toxin of diph-
theritic and the pyocyanic bacili was
subjected 10 the physical action of currents
OF high frequency. The current had no
direct influence on the vitality of the mi
crobes themselves, but modified the liquid
in which they live so as 10 render it noXiOuS
to them. The action OF the current, it is
asserted, is not chemical, but purely physi-
cal. In twenty minutes u virulent poison
can be turned into vaccinating matter.
Electricity is to be tried on animals in

effect is the same on living tissue. -Phila-

THE SUICIDE BUTTON.

There is another button that is seen on
rare occasions This is bright red in color,
with a white line running like a thread
across the surface and cutting the middle.
Careful inspection will show that the line
parts right at the center, however. The
button cannot be had at any dealers. Be
cause of the mySteriOusness always borne
by the few wearers of the emblem, and be-
cause of the reported melancholy diSpoSi-
tion OF every man seen wearing Que OF the
buttons it is said that the organization is
q suicides club.
The biggest profits of the dealer are, of
course, in the buttons most worn by the
members of patriotic societies, because
their sales in these so far exceed the sales
in other emblems.
But remember" concluded the dealer,
IF people want buttons we will get them
for them. There is a man who comes in
this store nearly every day who belongs
to twenty seven societies. He has badge
or button for everyone OF them, and have
seen him wearing as many as fifteen ut
