BUTTON or BUTTON HoLEq
A Question Similar to that of PrCce-
dence of Hen or Egg.

A Question Similar to that of PrGce-
dence of Hen or Egg,
once upon time case was brought
before learned judge, in which the
question at issue was as to whether the
button was made for the buttonhole Or
the buttonhole Lor the button.
Counsel for the button he'd That it
as so plain as to render argument SUI
perhuous that the buttonhole was made
for the use and behoof of the button;
still, for FORMS sake, he would give a
few reasons why his contention was
the correct one. 1t was app 7r"1t he
said. that without the buttonhole the
button would be unable to perform 5
function and hence it was plain mat
the button preceded The butsonhole,
and that the latter was invented in
order that the button might be of ser
vice to mankind. 1t should be Clear to
everybody that had it not been for the
button the buttonhole never would
have been though of. Its existence
necessarily presupposed the existence
of the button
W
equally positive in the sta / he had
been employed take. He averred that
the buttol.hoie precG Jed the button;
that, in fact, the button was iAerely
an afterthought. He said that, as
every one knew, the bulronhole can be
employed without the button. as wit
ness Farmer Jones who invariably
uses a nail or silver of Wood instead of
the. conventional button. whereas it
was imDossible to make an effective
use of the button without the aid and
assistance of the buttonhole. Hence
it was shown beyond peradyentnre
that the buttonhole was of greater inn
portance than the button, ard It was
natural to infer that the bittonh6le
was first invented and that the button
came later, simply as an ornament, or,
at best. as an Improvement upon the
nail, silver, or other fundamentally
wherewith the buttonhole was made TO
perform its duty. To show the rela-
tive value of the buttonhole and the
buttol. he said, take this simple 'eN-
ample: When "a brtt0n comes off the
buttonhole can still be madt service
able. but if the butt 1hole is slit open
the button is of no use whatever. With
this the learned counsel rested his case
although he claimed that he had not
exhausted the subject.
When the court came in after recess
the learned judge promptly decided the
ease in favor of the buttonhole clear
ly A just decision, although it was
whispered about the courthouse that
the decision might have been different
but for the fact that while changing
his linen between adjournment and re-
assembling Of the court bis honor had
dropped his collar button and hunted
for it without success for half an hour.
and perhaps might never have found
it had he not stepped upon it. But of
course. this suggestion came from the
partisans of the button, and may fairly
be imputed to their disappointment and
chagrin.-Boston Transcript.

Fall Planting.

With nearly all fruit trees. except
peaches, which must be planted in the
spring there is to be said in favor OF
fall planting, that the soil can be put
in better condition al less expense of
time ar labor than in the spring, The
planter generally has more time TO de
vote TO the work in the fall, and hence
can do it much better. Then, too, the
trees from the nursery are generally in
better condition than after they have
passed through winter The nursery
men also have fewer orders in the fall,
and can give more care to filling orders
ut this season. and generally furnish
better stock. Even with the more ten
der S, rts it Is possible to give them
needed protection during the first win
ter by throwing furrow toward the
trees on either side Unless there is a
large area to be planted and other work
seriously interferes. everything is in ia
yor of fall planting.

For Fastening Hor-e..

Whd some horses there is always
constnt trouble when they are at the
manger, by getting their feet over the
rope which fastens them to the stall,
of course. this can be ebviated by
shortening the rope, but this Is not adj
visahie where the horse is locked up
for the night after the feed is put in the
box. for the short rope does not giye
him the opportunity of lying down in
a comfortable position. The trouble
indicated can be remedied by use of 4
halter ring fastened on the strap going
over the nose of the horse instead OF
under the jaw as usual, The rope is
attached to this ring, and then run
