WILL NOT WEAR BUTTONS.
Peculiar Customs of Members of the
Amish Church.

AHtSn NnufCHs
y peculiar set of people whose Gus
toms resemble the German Nfennonites
and the Dunkards, are scattered all over
central and northern Iowa. and are
known as the hook and eye" Dutch, on
account of the aversion they have to
wearing any kind of buttons on their
clothing. Their church is called the
Amish and they consider it unholy and
worldly to wear any kind of buttons on
their clothing Coat, vest and trousers
are kept III place by the ordinary hook
and eye. The children grow up and are
taught to do as DO their elders, and for
generations this peculiar custom has
been kept by them.
The government of the elders is I'M
questioned and as implicitly obcyed as
would be the commands of an army Off
Ger. Their marriages are arranged to
even up" financial matters TO some eX-
tent. Too much land or too much money
is not allowed 10 marry into one family.
and thus give one family the ascendency
over another in the colony.
Among the most peculiar rites of these
people is the ceremony of foot wash
ing" which takes place as it did in the
oldfn time. This ceremony usually takes
place at the annual love feast, which is
generally held in one of the big red farm
barns. At these gatherings each MEM
spell- greets the other with n kiss, each
flay ssonfining it's oscillations to itself
III a. wishing Is also 'confined e the
sexes, oae of group of men or women
washing and drying the feet of his or
her neighbcr III turn. When the rite is
over all rise and again kiss. Then fol-
low communion and preaching. These
sermons are delivered by plowmen Sc
leeted for this task by the year. and they
are obliged to give much attention and
study TO the task.

EACH HIS OWN NAME.


A fire mist and planet,
A crystal and cell;
A jelyfish and a saurian,
And caves where the cavemen dwell;
Then sense of law and beauty,
And n face turned from the clOd-
Some call 1t Evolution,
And others call it God.
A haze on the far horizon,
The Infinite tender sky;
The ripe, rich tints of the cOrnfeds,
And the wild geese sailing high.
And all over upland and l0wland
The charms of the goldenrOd-
Some Of us call 1T Autumn,
And others call It God.
Like the tide on a crescent sea beach,
When the moon is new and thin,
Into our hearts high warnings
Come yelling and surging in
Come from the mystic ocean
Whose rim no foot has troll
Some of us call II Longing,
And Others call IL God.
A picket frozen on duty,
mother starved for her brood,
Socrates drinking the hemlOck,
And Jesus on the rood;
The million who, humble and nameieSs,
The straight hard pathway trod-
Some call 1t Conservation,
And others call 1t God.

When professionalism was established
in base ball by the payment of salaries,
with its consequent bidding and trading
for men, great many lovers of the
game lost their interest in it; and now
that professionalism has involved the
