NOVELTIES IN BUTTONS.

The diversity and extravaganza OF
the buttons worn this season illustrate
one development of fashion not alto.
Sesner revival of oll-time styles.
buttons were used for ornament in the
fourteenth century, but nothing like
the present variety was ever known
before. Coral buttons are perhaps
the latest novelty, and are charming
on black velvet gown. Then there
are cameo buttons and ali sorts of imi-
tatlon gems set with rhinestones, be.

Badly ElustcreG,

A wcll-knoWn and much beloved cler.
gyman has half a dozen good stories
which are particularly appropriate for
childish hearers, and whenever he is
asked to address Sunday school or a
public institution for the benefit of
children. as he pretty often is, Some
one Of these stories is certain to be
called into reg,lisition, and is inyari-
ably received with enthusiasm.
There is only one difficulty about
the matter" tie clergyman says, "and
that comes from my not always being
able to remember. when called upon to
speak to an audience Of children,
which story told them the last time;
but year ago, whe: was sent for to
address Il certain mission school,
thought l was safe. As l hurried to-
ward the church that afternoon, said
to myself. I will tell those boys my
nutmeg story. I'm sure they've never
heard it, and it's just the right thing at
this time
$50, having settled that point in my
mind, sat comfortably until the su-
perintendent announced me as the
next speaker.
"'You will all be glad to know that
Doctor - has come here again, and
has promised to tell you a story, as he
did last year. the superintendent said.
I don't believe there is q boy In this
room who has forgotten that capital
nutmeg story which Doctor -- told us
the last time he stood on this platform,
and am sure he has all equally inter-
estlng one for us to-day
nen he sat down." concluded the
clergyman, "and was obliged to gath
er up Ing scattered wits and make an
other selection from my half-dozen
stana-bys as rapidly rs possible; and
to this day think that superintendent
believes that his introduction was so
complimentary as to embarrass me for
fully a minute, as it was certainly that
length Of time before I mad come to my
senses aud launched forth on my Sec
ond best story, in 4 cold perspiration."

DREAMS OF THE DAYS GONE BY.

Dreams, come home TO my heart again
With the memory of the past,
Come with your pleasure and your pain
And your hopes too bright TO last
Come from your hidden graves that lie
In the beautiful realms of the days gone by;
Come from your glorious graves that lie
In the realms of the days gone byi
Twill welcome ye all again,
As once in the halls of Ed,
Welcome the pleasure and the pain
For the beauty your brief lives held.
Dreams, come out of your secret graves
In the woodland wilds and the dim sea
caves;
Dreams, come out of your myriad graves
In the wilds and the dim sea cavesl
Ye throng the halls OF my heart once more
With faces sad with pain.
Oh, faded ghosts of the dreams of yore,
The JOY comes not again.
Go back 10 your mournful graves that lie
In the shadowy realms Of the days gone by
Go back TO your voiceless graves that lie
In the realms of the days gone byi

Tor In His Opinion Mrs. siddons Did Not
Marry an Actor.
Mrs. Siddons, the actress, was born
in 1855 at the Shoulder of Mutton inn,
Brecon, South Wales, of parents con-
nected with the theater, her father,
Roger Kemble, being "a strolling man
ager. The child Sarah, was reared in a
theatrical atmosphere, and at 10 she
was playing Ariel.
As she grew up she became very
beautiful and had many admirers,
among whom was Henry Siddons, a
Young actor in her fathers company,
who had little difficulty in winning the
girls heart. Mr.. and Mrs. Kemble had
made up their minds that Sarah should
not marry in the profession, in conse-
ouence of which they strenuously op-
posed the marriage, and young Siddons,
i'm fit of retaliatory humor, composed
q song detailing their opposition and
his trials. which brought about his
speedy dismissal from the company.
Sarah left the company, too, and hireo
out as lady's maid in Warwickshire fol
two years.
During this time the lovers carried OF
lively correspondence and finally
gaining the reluctant consent OF TIT

OLD TIME SWEETNESS GONE
moiasses Is Now Made Into Rum and
Brown Sugar Can't BE bought.


Inc old fashioned molasses is rapid-
~ disappearing as an article of com.

III Its place have come a number of
sirups which are more costly and nv
no means as satisfactory, especially 20
the little ones, who delight, as we did
wheh we were young, in having 'lasses
on their bread. Most of the molasses
goes into the distilleries, where il is
made into rum, for which, notwith-
standing the efforts of our temperance
workers, the demand is constantly on
the increase, especially in the New
England states and for the export trade.
The regular drinker of rum will take no
other liquor in its place if he can help
IT, 1t seems TO reach the spot more di-
rectly than any other dram.
The darker brown sugars have also
disappeared, and they are not likely to
return, owing TO the methods of boiling
and the manufacture. GRADUATED sugar
is OF the same composition, as far as
saccharine qualities are concerned, as
loaf, cut loaf cube and crushed and
differs from them only in that its crys,
tails do not cohere. This is because it is
constantly stirred during the process of
capitalization. The lighter brown sug-
ars taste sweeter than the white, foi
the reason that there is some molasses
in them. Housekeepers have difficulty
these days in finding coarse, dark sug
airs, which are always preferred for use
