THE COLLAR BUTTON.
Lots of Brains and Energy TO INTO
the Manufacture of This Tiny
Dress Convenience.

Even the simplest little contrivances
are often very complicate in the max
ing.
There's the collar button, for In
stance. which, in addition to lining the
pockets of the humorists with gold, has
caused mankind more trouble than the
proper up-bringing of children.
From all we can learn, however, it is
the collar button which is made OF
number of pieces soldered together
which is wont to break just at the
wrong time. And, indeed, the only rep
rehensible habit attributed to the
one-piece collar button is the weakness
for rolling under the bed just when
man (or girD is in rush. In case
it's a man, you know just how it ruff
fes his temper to be caught under the
bed hunting for buttons; it annoys him
equally if the wife shrieks, thinking
him burglar. or if she assumes SUI
perior air and goes silently on her way
But let us look at this one-piece but
| ton and note its evolution. You may
imagine there's lot of complicated ma
chinery behind it-behind every stage
of it, indeed.

ART OF BEDMAKING.
Although 1t Is Easily Mastered, Many
HOusekeepers Do Not Under
stand Its Rudiments.

Before making up the beds see to it
that the rooms have been aired. On a
clear, sunshiny day open the windows
before breakfast and strip the bed,
hanging the clothing over chairs near
the windows.
Allow the rooms to air for a couple
of hours and shake the bed clothing
free of dust. If the day is rainy do not
open the beds while the room is airing.
They will gather moisture if you do.
On a damp day hang the bedding to air
in the rooms with the windows closed,
make up the beds and air the rooms
again after the beds have been made
up.
The most important part of bedmak'
ing is to get the sheets properly adj
iusted. Wrinkles in a sheet are an
abomination. The bottom sheet should
be tucked in securely at the top SO that
it cannot be ierked down by the rest
lessness of the sleeper.
The top sheet should be tucked il
tightly at the bottom so that it cannot
easily be drawn out of place.
1t should be laid with the wide hen
at the top and the rough side of thu
hem turned uppermost, SO that when j
is folded back over the coverlet thu
right side will be exposed.-N. \

A little girl in Maine owns cat and
a dog that have formed strong
friendship for each other and furnish
constant entertainment for their small
owner by their cunning ways. The cat
when only tiny ball of fur in ap-
pearance, was presented to the little
girl, who Immediately prepared to en-
joy herself by dressing up the kitten
in dolls clothes that promised to mt
him to perfection. He, however, proved
to be dignified cat, and objected SO
seriously to this that his owner named
him Judge, and concluded to take him
with her on her fishing expeditions,
when he could simply sit and keep her
company.
A water spaniel known as Ned also
shared the fun of these fishing ex-
cursions, and the cat and dog would

Of course there are objections to this
arrangement; dust and flies, and the
marring of the general appearance OF
the room. But where a corner OF a room
is curtained off for closet 1t would
be an easy matter to carry the curtains
up to the ceiling. Summer hotels and
boarding house keepers would make
themselves very popular with the sum-
mer girl by carrying out this idea in

MEND COVERING OF A HEART.
Successful Operation ny surgeons
at St. Johns Hospital, Long

A remarkable operation was per-
formed in St, Johns hospital, Long Is

clans present saw the beating OF hui
man heart and put five stitches in the
pericardium, the covering of the Heart.
Fritz Brandt, a German mason, OF
steinway, was brought to the hospital
suffering from a pistol wound in the
breast, self-inficted. After the man
had been placed under ether DR.. Burns
discovered that the bullet had shat
tered the breast bone and that spin
ters had penetrated the right lung ana
cut the pericardium.
The patient remained alive for five
hours after the operation. An autopsy
showed that death was due to hem

while she fished for the little clubs that
are to be found in the shallow portions
of the lakes. As each fish was caught
the child would hand it over to Judge,
who ate it and anxiously watched the
bob on the line for another bite.
Ned did not share Judges liking for
fish, but watched the line with as much
interest as the cat, and wore an ex'
preston of great satisfaction when
the bob disappeared and another un'
wary club was brought to the sur
face for Judge.
One day the fishing became very
poor, and after watching the line with
great impatience Ned saw reckless
little club swimming near the sur
face of the water about foot from
the shore. Ned sprang up. and before
the club could get away he caught i in

laid the fish on the grass and watched
the cat eat Il.

HYMN FOR A CHILD.

God gave me little light
To carry as / go:
Babe me keep 1t clear and bright,
Shining high and low.
Bear 1t steadfast. without fear.
Shed its radiance far and near,
Make the path before me clear,
With its friendly glow.
God gave me little song
To sing upon my way;
Rough may be the l0ad, and long,
Dark may be the day;
Yet a little bird can wing,
Yet a little flower can spring,
Yet a little child can sing,
Make the whole world gay.
God gave me a little heart
To love whate'er He made:
Gave me strength to bear my part,
Glad and unafraid.
Through Thy world so fair, so prigh
Father, guide my steps Alright!
Thou my song and Thou my light
So my trust Is stayed.
