ALL ABOUT BUTTONS.
Their History Traced From Time When
Wooden Molds Were Used.

From the Rehoboth Sunday Herald
The original button was wholly product
of needlework, but was soon improved by
the use of a wooden mold, over which a
cloth covering was sewed. From this it
was only step to the brass button, which
was introduced by a hardware manufac-
turer in Birmingham in 1888 1t took 200
years to improve on the method Of sewing
the cloth on the covered button; then an in
Senious Dane invented the device Of making
the button in two parts and clamping them
together. with the cloth between.
In 400 one CaSpar Wistar set I'M the
manufacture of brass buttons in PhiladeI-
phia. and soon afterward Henry Witeman
began making them in New York The but
tons of George Washington and most of the
continental army We're made in France
connecticut presently came to the front and
began making buttons of pewter and tin at
waterbury, the present center of the but
ton industry.
Buttons are now made of almost everv
thlng, from seaweed and cattle hoofs to
mother-of-pearl and vegetable ivory Ex-
celient buttons are made from potatoes
Whlch, treated chemically, become as hard
as ivory. Large button factories make their
entire product from various mixtures of
gutta percha, skim milk and blood. others
from celluloid and horn The patent office
mas issued 300 patents for making buttons.
The most important branch of the hutton
industry in the United States is the making
Oh pearl buttons, the material being oh
tanned from shells gathered along the Mis-
sissippl river. The industry has practically
grown up within the last ten wears ara its
introduction is due entirely to T r Roan-
pie OF Musca tine. Iowa. a native of Ger
many, who had learned the trade abroad
He saw that millions of dollars were 90
ing 10 waste in the shells known as mig
gerheads.' of which tons were ni1ed I'M On
the banks Of the river. Thousands of neo-
pie are now employed in turning these
smells into buttons, the little plants being
louiiu an the way from Minnesota to Mis-
souri,. Muscatne is still the great head
quarters Of the industry. 1t has forty fac
tories. The value of the shells has risen
from % cents to $50 a hundredwefght. And

OUR BEEF IN ENGLAND.
Americans Regulate Prices on British
Tables.

From the London Mail.
Experts in the meat trade smile at the
suggestion which has been made that the
Americans are about to capture the Eng
lish meat trade. They say that that would
be equivalent to the Dutch taking Holland;
and that Smithfield Market has already
passed under the absolute control of Amer
lean houses. The capture has been secret
and gradual but 1t has been none the less
secure; and Chicago, through it's London
representative, regulates the prices of beef
on London, Liverpool or Manchester tables.
Smithfield Market the center of the
wholesale meat trade, consists Of some
800 stalls and refrigerators, under the man.

city corporation. The turnover of these
stalls varies from $4,000 to $4,000 each
week, according to the position of the hold
ing. There was a time, less than ten years
ago. when no American held a single stall.
At that time the Americans sold their meat
through English statesmen in Smithfield,
paying such statesmen at first ~ per cent
and afterward 2 per cent commission. 1t
is estimated that they paid 100000 yearly
in such commission.
Then came the American invasion. The
Swift Company came first, and the others
followed rapidly. In almost every instance
the Americans bought up the holdings of
the particular commission statesmen to
whom they had been in the habit of con-
signing, paying sums ranging downward
from one instance in which the purchase
price was between H5,OO0 and 10000.

are not caught in the maelstrom of business
life are apt to be too careless and to 1et

to cheat either others or ourselves of the
sweetest delights Of life but all uncon
sciously we do. We give the world and orr
tasks too much of ourselves and wife and
children too little. Meanwhile the babies
and boys and girls are growing up and in
rev short years will have flown away to
make nests of their own. Who of us as
