Won by the Buttonhoie.

Once upon time a case was brought
before learned judge, in which the
question at issue was as to whether
the button was made for the button
hole or the buttonhole for the button.
Counsel for the button held that 1t was
so plain as to render argument su-
perfluous that the buttonhole was
made for the use and behoof Of the
button; still, for forms sake, he would
give few reasons why his contention
was the correct One. 1t was apparent,
he said, that without the buttonhole
the button would be unable to perform
it's function, and hence it was plain
that the button preceded the button
hole, and that the latter was invented
in order that the buttonhole might be
of service to mankind. 1t should be
clear to everybody that had it not been
for the button the buttonhole never
would have been thought Of. It's ex-
istence necessarily presupposed the
existence of the button. The lawyer
for the other side was equally positive
in the stand he had been employed to
take. He averred that the buttonhole
preceded the button; that in fact the
button was merely an afterthought. He
said that as everyone knew, the but
tonhole can be employed without the
button, as witness Farmer Jones, who
invariably uses a nail or silver Of
wood instead of the conventional but
ton, whereas it was impossible to make
an effective use of the button without
the aid and assistance of the button
hole. Hence it was shown beyond per-
adventure that the buttonhole was OF
greater Importance than the button,
and it was natural to infer that the
buttonhole was first invented and that
the button came later simply as an
ornament, or, at best, as an improve
ment upon the nail, silver or other in
strumentality wherewith the button
hole was made to perform its duty. To
show the relative value of the button
hole and the button, he said. take this
simple example. When button comes
off the buttonhole can still be made
serviceable, out IL the buttonhole Is
slit open the button is of no use what
ever. With this the learned counsel
IColCu MS SdoCt dlIhOu6n hC CidlmOd
that he had not exhausted the subject.
When the court came in after recess
the learned judge promptly decided the
case in favor of the buttonhole-clear-
ly Just decision. although 1t was
whispered about the court house that
the decision might have been different
but for the fact that while changing
his linen between adjournment and
reassembling of the court his honor
had dropped his collar button and
hunted for it without success for half
an hour, and perhaps might never have
found 1t 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 disap-
pointment and chagrin.-Boston

AN UNNAMED MONSTER.

The Field Columbian Museum in
Chicago possesses some of the bones
of a gigantic dinosaur, which appar-
emily exceeded in size the famous at
lantosaurus, heretofore regarded as the
largest land animal known ever to
have inhabited the earth. Professor
Marsh thought that the atlantosaurus
might have attained length of eighty
feet, and have been more than thirty
feet in height. The as yet unnamed
monster whose bones have recently
been measured in Chicago. and which,
like the atlantosaurus, dwelt in the
Rocky Mountain region, had a thigh
bone six feet and eight inches in
length. The bone of it's upper arm,
the humerus, is even larger than the
thigh-bone, exceeding by twenty-three
inches the largest humerus hitherto
known to science. Prof. Elmer S. Riggs
remarks that the extraordinary length
of the humerus suggests that the anil
NAL had something giraffe-like in its
proportions. In that case, its height
must have been truly gigantic.

Psychology Of swearing.

Many profane expressions are the fos.
sill remains of religious terms or ejacu-
latory prayer, and the history OF pro-
family is intimately bound up with the
history of religion. 1t is held by some
that profane objurgations are instino-
tive or initiative relics of the habit of
our wild ancestors of Stimulating the
cries of ferocious animals and OF utter
ing sounds calculated by their harsh
ness or their volume, to inspire terror.
BY and by came the time when GER
tain words became sacred by reason
of their religious associations, and
their employment in verbal warfare
would, 1t was hoped, cause fear by
reason of their awful association, or,
later still, because their unconven-
tlonal use being severely punished, the
deed savored of reckless violence. A
few centuries later men took to utiliz-
ing the anathemas OF the church for
their private purposes, and sought to
inspire fear by evoking images of tor
ture and endless suffering. The angry
primitive man tried to shock his
enemy by calling on thunder and gods.
and the angry modern man consigns
him, in tones of awful wrath. to eter-
nal punishment. From the shock OF
| terror there came the shock of temer-
ity in taking holy names in vain, so
that the greater the reverence OF
names OF saints or places or deity, the
greater is the shock to the man sworn
at, and presumably the greater the
relief to the man swearing.-Medi al

BLooD-poIsoNING

In the widest acceptation OF the
term, blood-poisoning occurs in all In
iectious diseases, in Brights disease,
biliousness, malaria, and any other
trouble affecting the general system.
But, as usually understood, 1t means
poisoning by pus microbes or their
products, conditions medically known
rs pyaemia or septicaemia.
A quarter OF century ago these
diseases we're very common, especially
In hospitals, and were often the cause
Of frightful mortality among the
wounded in battle; but now they are
becoming more and more rare, and
many physicians of several years
practice have never seen a well-mark-
ed case.
This happy change Is the result OF
the general adoption of the principles
Of antiseptic surgery, whereby septic
infection of wounds and consequent
extensive suppuration are prevented.
But blood-poisoning still occurs at
times after wounds made with infected
objects or wounds which have been
allowed to tester without proper treat
ment.
Physicians occasionally get blood
poisoning in consequence of slight
cut or scratch received while perform
ing an autopsy after a case of appen-
dicitis or other suppurative disease. In
cases in which death follows an op-
Grafton for appendicitis the cause is
frequently septicaemia or pyaemia, the
operation having been undertaken too
tic material
The symptoms of blood poisoning
are those of profound depression of the
general system, but the symptoms OF
the two varieties of blood-poisoning
differ more or less.
Septicaema usually begins abruptly
with a chill and high fever. The pulse
is quick and weak, the breathing is
rapid and sometimes oppressed, head
ache is usually severe, the appetite is
lost, and there is much nausea with
vomiting.
In pyaemia these symptoms are
more gradual in their appearance, and
are preceded for a day or two by slight
fever loss of appetite and general de-
preston. There is a succession of
chills, high fever and sweating, so that
the case is sometimes taken for ma
laria. Later all doubt is removed by
the formation of assesses on various
parts of the body.
Both forms of blood-posioning are
grave, but recovery is more apt to take
place in septicaemia. Treatment con-
sists primarily in attention to the
wound through which infection has
occurred, which, II accessible, should
be opened freely and thoroughly drain
ed. At the same time the system must
be supported by stimulants, heart ton
les, and nourishing and easily digested
food.

ECONOMIC VALUE OF BIRDS.

1t is averred that the destruction Of
birds in France has produced disas-
trous effects upon agriculture, horti-
culture and the grape industry. In
the Department of Herault alone, it
has been calculated, the destruction of
birds accustomed to feed upon insects
costs loss of more than 1000 gallons
OF wine every year. Some birds con-
sumo about so insects each daily, and
a single insect-eating species. Mon

means of saving 5000 grains of wheat
and 1850 grapes per day.

CONVERSATION HUNTING COAT.

This invention has for its object to
provide a combination garment, which
will take the place of the ordinary
hunting coat and vest, and may also
be used as a storm coat or a ham
mock. The outer portion of the coat
is provided with sleeves and a storm
collar, and the under half is somewhat
similar to vest, being capable Of sep
aration from the outer portion at the
top, which allows it to fall downward
to protect the lower limbs in case of

MADRID'S HIGH DEATH Rate.
Dstinotion of Being the Most I'm

DIS stinotion of Being the Most Un-
healthy Capital In Europe.
Madrid enjoys the unenviable dis
tinction of being in every way the
most unhealthy capital in Europe. Ac-
cording to statistics just published by
the municipality, there have been 49,
s74 deaths during the past five years,
'mong a population of only slightly
exceeding 100000,
In 1901 the death numbered 1922,
and of these 1904 were of children
under four years OF age. This gives a
rate of about 33 per 1000. In the five
years period consumption carried off
nearly 10000 inhabitants. and small
pox and measles 5000 more.
The municipality is just beginning
to realize the bearing of these figures,
and various DEGREES have been publish
ed for the better enforcement of sani-
tation. Among other things it is to be
punishable offense to let an apart
ment or dwelling before 1t has been
disinfected by the municipal labora-
tory department. But two of the great
est evils in Madrid are food adultera-
tion, which Is virtually unchecked and
overcrowding. The 52S,000 inhabitants
are herded in 1900 houses. which
gives an average of thirty-one persons
per house.-Pall Mall Gazette.

The white wax crop exported from
China is made by the curious method
OF using minute insects in its produc-
tion. These insects are found in
brown, pea-shaped excresences or gals
attached to an evergreen tree called

cred in May and carried in headlong
fight to the market towns by bearers.
who travel at night, so that the heat
may not force the insects to emerge
during the journey. They are then
placed in a wax tree" which is
stump varying from three to twelve
feet in height, with numerous branch
es rising from the top, similar to the
pollard willow. The wax insects are
made into small packets OF twenty or
thirty gals, which are inclosed in a
leaf Of the wood oil tree, fastened to-
gether with rice straw. These packets
are suspended close to the branches,
under which they hang. On emerging
from the gals the insects creep rap
idly up the branches, to which they
attach themselves, and begin forming
a coating of wax that in about three
months attains thickness of almost
quarter OF an inch. The branches
are then cut off, and after removing
as much of the wax as possible by
hand they are put in a kettle OF hot
water. when the remaining wax floats
on the surface, and the insects finish
their term of usefulness by going to
the bottom.

The Hills of 'Frisco.

San Francisco still holds TO its
cable cars. 1t was the first city in the
Union to establish the cable system,
and now 1t continues in the same old
way, while all other cities have dis
carded cables for electricity, writes q
correspondent of the Washington
Post. There are so many hills in San
Francisco, and they are so steep that
cables really offer the only means OF
transportation. To climb some OF the
grades is almost like scaling the sides
OF the Washington monument. The
cars almost stand on their heads. II
is tobogganing of the most spirited
description. When, at the top OF one
OF these hills, the motorman takes a
fresh hold upon the steel rope, and you
look down an incline that is almost
perpendicular, there is a very natural
desire to close your eyes and put your
trust in Providence. The people here
do nothing OF the kind They are used
to It. And accidents are very infre-
quent Once in a very great while
grip slips or a brake does not work,
and then there is a smash, but, as
matter of fact, the chances are alto
gether in favor Of the passenger.

Nothing is more deceptive to the
casual northern tourist than southern
sand, says the Augusta (Ga.) Chron-
icle. Florida sand produces oranges Of
unequaled quality and the best of gar
den truck. When the Seaboard Air
line was pushing its track construction
through North Carolina, beyond Ra-
leigh toward Atlanta, a French labor
or, in what was then considered a
hopeless desert, curiously examined
the sand and discovered that it was
precisely the soil from which his ma
tive country produced its finest grapes.
This Frenchman communicated his
ideas to the engineer in charge, who,
at first. was inclined to think the man
demented. The Frenchman asked per-
mission to go to Baltimore and talk
with Mr.. John M. Robinson, then
president of the read. 1t was granted.

An interesting suggestion for the
preservation of colors of pressed flow
ers comes from the workrooms of the
New York Botanical Garden. After the
specimens have been under pressure a
day or two. lay them in papers heated
in the sun until the drying is complete.
In this way, it is said, colors are pre-
served better than by any other
process.
