FACTS ABOUT BUTTONS.
No Buttons Were Made Here Until 1S4a
and Some Cost 500 Apiece.

No Buttons Were Made Here Until 1S48,
and Some Cost 500 Apiece.
Everybody is aware of the button craze
now sweeping over the country, but few
know that buttons are comparatively
modern invention. This is the age of but
tons, says the New York journal.
We are slaves of buttons. Buttons OF
high and low degree, ornamental buttons,
useful buttons, campaign bu tons, bicycle
buttons, club buttons, official buttons,
military buttons, navy buttons, police
mems buttons, fi-emen's buttons, all kinds
of buttons. not forgetting the evasive,
elusive collar button, furn ish proof of the
assertion.
The people of the United States unbut-
ton l, 400 900 buttons every night, when
they get ready to go to bed, and the next
morning they rebutton the same 1,40O,-
coo. 900 buttons, unless a few million have
been lost in the struggle. Then other mil
lions of buttons must be sewed on.
In the fourteenth century there were
buttons-but no buttonholes-and there
wasn't button factory IN England until
the close OF the seventeenth century
This button was purely ornamental, for,
lacking butonhoIe, it couldn't make
itself useful, and the question arises, how
our ancestors managed to keep respectfully
covered.
OF course, when a knight appeared in
mail, there could have been no apprehen-
sion as to the stability of his covering, Tor
it was riveted on, but how did High
lander keep mis- kits in place? Was it
firmly skewered with bog thorn for a
safety-pin? The Romans were circum-
spect in this regard. Yards and yards of
material employed in their togas were
wrapped and entwined about the wearers.
Two hundred years ago there was not
as many buttons in the whole word as
one will find to-day in the smallest mo
ton" store. Each one of these buttons
was made by hand. 1t was not until las
that any considerable mandatory was
established. In that year the famous
Soho works were opened at Birmingham.
Eng, where steel buttons were made of
such beauty and finish as to command
price of $500 gross or S. each.
On the accession OF George III gilt but
tons became fashiona bic, and the price
varied from few shillings a dozen to 500
apiece, depending on the character OF the
work and the depth of the purchasers
pocket.
The first button factory in the United
States was established in 1648.

CHANGED RECEIVERS ON HIM.

Montana Farmer He'd Up Train and
Gave Vent to His Feelings.
Not long ago, according to !. Boston
papers, a man from that city who WIS rid.
ing on an express train in Montana, was,
with the other passengers, almost thrown
out of his seat by the sudden stopping OF
the train at the application OF the air
brake. There was great rafting OF
lamps and other noisy material in and
about the car, and then silence, and
fin ally the sound of voices raised in angry
alteration.
The Boston man rushed to the door to
see what might be the matter. The noise
came from the front of the train. He
went out therA and saw, standing in the
middle OF the track, farmer WITH spade
on his shoulder who was shaking his fist
at the conductor and engineer and calling
the railroad company many hard names.
Get off the track, the conductor was
saying. "or We'll run over your
mo, you won't run over me, and you
know it," answered the farmer. "Y on
railroad folks are pretty mean, but you
know better than 10 deliberately run over
and kill man"
What do you get on the track for?'
because | want this railroad TO know
that I've got grievance against Ii. tell
you, this receiver business is all sche me
to beat the people. First they have one
set of EN-, and then when man sues the
road for what he is entitled to he finds
there's been a change. Then he tries
again to get justice, and you switch re-
ceivers again; but | tell you, you can t
fool me any more!"
By this time the man had a crowd
around him and was haranguing it and
gesticulating wildly.
The engineer said that he had seen, as
he bore down on long, straight stretch
of track, a man between the rails brand
ishing spade, and as the track was evil
IDENTIFY all right he whistled for the man
to get off supposing that he would do so
before the tram came near him. But he
mans life he had to put on the airbrake
with all pos ible force.
The train stopped just in time. After
the man had finished the speech just
gwen, the conductor called out:
Now that you've hau your say I sup
pose you'll let the train go on?'
Il don't know whether l will or notp'
"Oh, yes, you will! All aboard!' called
the conductor
The passengers scrambled aboard the
train. The engineer rang the bell and
pulled the throttle. The engine moved
s.owlv-so slowly that no doubt it could
have been stopped in time if the man with
the grievance had not budget.
But ne did bud-e. He left the track,
still waving his spade, and the train went
on its way.
