Catches, Once Set in Diamonds, Now
Reduced to Rags and Bones.
Recently at the Hotel Drouot there
was a sale of curious and interesting
collection of ancient buttons, the prop
erty of Baron Perignan, of Paris. This
collection, which was exhibited in 1889
at the exposition of decorative arts,
might rival any one of those belong
| ing to the most enthusiastic buttonist
| In the world. C1apisson, the musician,
collected 1850 different specimens. In
1849 collector in Client exhibited more
than 10000, and NJ. Maignien, the IL
brarian of the Grenoble library, gained
certain reputation in this branch of
| cIrloSties through his collection of
buttons of liveries and of uniforms.
| The buttons of the eighteenth century
bring high prices in the market at the
! present time. There are some of them
that Fragonard, we are told, decorated
| with his marvellous pencil. In his time
| it was fashionable to make presents Of
buttons as big as a crown piece, on
which allegories and various subjects
were carved.
| Bachaumont writes in his "Secret
| NONNIuOSE 10. 40 ne ma
| MIA for buttons to-day is extremely
ridiculous. They are not only of enor-
nous size, some of them as big as six
| pound crowns, but miniatures and pic
lures are made upon them, and this or
| namentation is extremely costly.
Some of them represent the medals of
the IL Caesars, others antique statues
and still others the Metamorphoses OF
Ovid"
Isabey, in his biographical notes, says
that when he came to Paris he worked
for living by making copies of Vanloos
and Bouchers on the lids of snuff boxes.
and that for these medallions he was
paid from six to eight francs each. ''As
it was still the fashion," he said, "to
wear buttons as big as five-franc piece,
upon which cupids, flowers and land
scapes were cut in cameo. I went into
that business. l got IL soils for each"
Two years after this period in the
life of Bachaumont buttons abandoned
erudition to take up edileship. All the
fine monuments of Paris were carved
on them. Then came the patriotic
buttons, representing the taking of the
Bastile, the emblem of the three or
ders, the Phrygian cap, the portraits of
Louis XVI, of Mirabeau.
Shortly afterward these ornaments
were laid aside. The reign of the ar
tistic button was over, and the mother
of pearl button became general
The oldest buttons at present in the
museums and among the collections are
the gold buttons discovered at NIycenae,
at the time of the excava lions under
taken by DR.. Schliemann, and also those
found in the tomb of Childeric I. The
latter were exhibited at the Louvre
in the Musee des Souverains They are
made of gold and of colored glass, imi-
tating garnet. Buttons detached from
copes and religious garments of the
middle ages and of the Renaissance
have also been discoVered.-Paris Fl.

IN THE RUINS OF PoMPEu.
Evidences of the Commonness O.
Slavery Found on All sides.

Evidences of the COmmOnness OF
Slavery Found on All Sides.
Evidences of the commences of
slavery in the time of Pompeii's de-
struction are abundant on all sides.
The gladiators werr class of slaves
trained for fighting and some of the
wall scribblings refer to their condi-
ton as one of slavery. Here is the
translation of an advertisement painted
on a wall near the amphitheater:
Twenty pairs of gladiators, paid by
Decimus Lucretius Saltius Valeus,
prince in the time of Nero, the son of
Caesar Augustus, and ten pairs of gladi-
Rtors, paid by Decimus Lucretius, the
son of Decimus Valeus, will fight at
Pompeii on the 18th, 18th and 14th of
April"
There will be a proper hunting scene
and the awnings will be spread. Writ
ten by Clev-Emilius CIev, writer of III
scriptions; wrote this by moonlight"
The gladiators' barracks were ample
for the housing of 1000 or 1900 men.
and it is matter of record that at least
1000 were engaged at one time in the
life or death combats which stretched
over a long festival. The actors in these
murderous sports were ''barbarians"
from various parts of Europe or from
Asia Minor and Africa.
In the Naples museum is a bronze col
lar, which was worn about the neck OF
O man whose skeleton was found in a
Pompeiian house cellar; on the collar
is engraved, in Latin, these words: Il
am slave. Arrest me because am run
ming away" I could not help thinking
while looking at this ingenious and
cruel substitute for convict's dress
that it was possible that the poor wretch
who wore it may have been one of the
descendants of the blond-haired Brit
ons brought home by Julius Caesar to
grace his triumph 100 years before Pom
peii disappeared beneath its pail of ashes
and lava.

the Pharaoh of the oppression. Mum.

Climbing High Attitudes.

All persons who have climbed great
heights are aware that respiration be-
comes more or less difficult, the heart
beats either very irregularly or with
great rapidity, and nausea, exhaustion
and other unpleasant sensations are ex-
perienced. Just what is the highest
limit to which man can ascend and live
has frequently been questioned. A
scientist reached $4,000 feet above sea
level without great trouble. The idea
suggested itself-could he not create a
rarefield atmosphere by mechanical
process? He prepared very large pneu-
matte air chamber and rugged it with all
the necessary appliances. He shut him
self in, then the air was rarefed to de-
gree which would probably be found al
the height of $4,000 feet above sea level.
then he became so distressed that the
experiment had to stop. As Mt. Everest
is mile higher than this simulated alti-
tude, we may naturally conclude that
unless there are means provided for
assisting respiration, feet will never
tread the height on this globe.-N. Y

WON'T TAKE THE INITIATIVE.
BalfOur's Diplomatic Statement Re.
Eard1ng Great Britain.

BalfOur's Diplomatic Statement Re-
Eard1ng Great Britain.
Mr.. Balfour has again announced in
the house of commons that he sees moth
ing in the present situation of affairs
which would lead him to suppose that
anything could be gained by Great
Britain taking the initiative in bringing
about an international bimetallic con-
ference"
Mr.. Balfour is truthful as well as
diplomatic"
Great Britain win never take the initi-
alive unless she thinks it belongs right
fully to some other nation, and is worth
more than it will cost to take it. Those
who wish to postpone action in the
cause of bimetallism until Great Britain
has taken the initiative will discover
that Great Britain is so busy taking
other things which she considers of
more cash value than the initiative that
such postponement will be extended
as far as two parallel lines must be ex-
tended before they come together.
No. Great Britain will not take the
initiative. She will take almost any
thing that is in sight, but not the in
itiative. She is the great creditor ma
ton and, with all the acquisitiveness of
Shylock, Great Britain is not going to
do anything that viii save her debtors
from paying back $50 cents for the 100
cents borrowed, this cheerfaul state of
affairs being brought about by the ap-
probation Of gold, under the influence
OF the "honest money" standard.-Chi.

OLD GABE'S COMPANY.
BY Julia Truitt Bishop.
'e@@&e@eeeeee&eee&eeeeee

As you left the town and went out
northward you followed where the road
trailed in an irresolute manner up hill
and down dale, going out of its way to
pass struggling farms. Most of these
farms were ill-kept and neglected, but
the most struggling and disreputabie
of them all belonged to old Gabe Carter.
HE amt got no call to work hard"
said neighbor, in eXtenuation of the
farmers sins of omission, which were
many; she amt got nobody to take
kcer on but hisself, and eff he wants
to take things easy, why let i'm, that's
what 1 say
Old Gabe Carter had never rebelled
against the disrespectful title which the
fates had given him. 1t had chung 20
him for many years now, and there was
a tradition in the neighborhood that he
had been known by that name 40 years
ago-perhaps even longer than that.
The time had come when he would have
been surprised and disconnected if he
had heard anyone call him MIR. Carter"
Old Gabe was not beautiful to look up
ON. His features were thin and eager, his
hair long and struggling and the tall form
vas angular to the last degree. \ mis-
cellaneous assortment of ill-fitting gar
ments generally made up what he called
his "clo'es," though there was a mys-
terious outfit hanging up in the spare
room.'' known to him as his 'other
clo'es." When he went about the farm.
he wore his ''cIo'es," but when he went
to church, or attended one of the rare
funerals in the community, he came on:
i'll all the splendor of his "other clo'es.
This was so we'll recognized that when
I:ecky McGuire, CHANGING out from the
kitchen window. saw him in the glory
of the 'other clo'es," jogging serenely
down the road, she screamed TO her
mother:
"Oh, ma, ma! There goes old Gabe
Carter in his other clo'es.' Run an ask
'im who's dead,"
Old Gabe lived alone, with a few
trif1ing exceptions. One of these was
the hired man. who occupied the cabin
at the further side of the orchard. He |
would not have even hired man too |
near. "Comp'ny's mighty good" he |
explained to that functionary. "but n |
body can have too much of il, an eff you |
an me was to git lonesome faint so |
fur but what we can call one another
And vet he was not averse to company |
at times. Seldom did any neighbor |
follow the road that trailed past the /
farm but he saw old Gabe leaning over
the fence waiting for him. At such

WHY THEY OPPOSE 1T,

Naturally European Capitalists Arc
Looking Ont for Themselves.
There is nothing that the creditor
classes of Europe so much dread as in
dependent action by the United States.
II 1t should restore parity between the
metals 1t would make their gold less
valuable than 1t is now, and they would
lose some of their present unjust adj
vantages. If it should not restore the
metals to par, and should place us in
the column of silver-using nations, IL
would still make their gold cheaper, be-
cause our demand for 1t would be with
drawn and again they would lose. Be-
sides all this, 1t would give us such adj
vantages in manufactures and trade
that the productive industries, of Eu-
rope would be so crippled that she
would be forced TO bimetallism as a
mere matter of self-preservation. In
opposing either an international agree
ment or the free coinage of silver by the
United States alone, it is ridiculous to
believe that the money power" of Eu-
rope is seeking to benefit US. Obviously
it is afraid of getting hurt. 1t would
get hurt; and in no aspect of the matter
could it do us any possible harm.
So we conclude by reaffirming the
statement of the London Times that il
we want silver restored we must do 10
ourselves.-National Bimetallist.
