Near Marquette, Wis, an old man
has lived several years in a tree home.
He is a first class cabinet maker, and
when he moved from Detroit to Mar
quette he took up his residence in the
hollow trunk of tree near that town.
The tree is huge linden that has been
sawed of about 10 feet from the
ground, and in 1t the occupant has
brought to bear his accomplishments
as a workman to decorate his queer
abode artistically. A door and win
dow, seen from the outside, bear wit
ness to this. The inner walls Of the
strange domicile are ceiled and papered
and are covered with pictures. One cir
cular seat extends around the room
from door to window. There is on the
other side a comfortable pile OF furs
that make a luxurious bed. The place
is warmed when warmth is needed
with an oil stove, The hermit plays
j. different musical instruments, and
with these and books entertains him
self and his visitors.-Golden Days.

So common are passenger elevators
now and so absolutely necessary in the
tall office buildings that the history of
the first one has been almost forgotten,
and yet it created a sensation in it's
day. This elevator was placed in the
Fifth Avenue hotel in New York when
it was built. and as the first passenger
elevator in the world il was n drawing
card as one of the sights of New York.
4 small plate suitably inscribed in
forms visitors TO the Fifth Avenue hO-
tel elevators today of that fact. 1t was
n screw elevator. the carriage being
raised or lowered by the revolutions OF
a big screw. Compared with the swift
moving elevators of today. which shoot
up and down rapidly and smoothly.
this was very crude affair. Many OF
New York's private houses are now
equipped with elevators so adjusted
that the passenger operates them by
pushing n button. These are practi-
cally automatic.

Natural DISADVANTAGES.

Taking into consideration the things
Sharp has bad to contend against, l

tend against?"
Everything. He came of wealthy

way through college. He never studied
by the light OF n pine torch. never had
TO drive dray. never walked six miles
TO school and wasn't compelled TO bor-

Picking the PInmn.

In this game a line is drawn on the
ground, along which each player places
a certain number of marbles. At this
line the players shoot their taws in
turns from n given point. The marbles
knocked off the line become the prop
erty OF the striker, and the game con-
tinues until no marbles remain. The
marbles should be placed as close to-
gether as possible without actually

RuckIer and Buttons.

AmethystS are wondrously initiated
and have become n great vogue. Ame-

Span, and the time is just ripe for their
return.

Many are doing their best TO take up
coral seriously. Coral buttons appliqued
with dull silver are especially decora-
tive. BrobdNgnagian buttons are not
nearly so much in vogue as they were.
OF course they are to be found here
and there when some particular period
or style commands their presence. But
decidedly of more pronounced popular
ity is the small button arranged in de-
tached groups-two, three and four, as
fancy dictates. As to buckles, their
story is n long and bewildering one.
Scarcely in millinery can a buckle go
wrong, and in this department do they
seem to grow longer and longer and
narrower and narrower every day. And
