Lord Spencer of Althorp, one of the
greatest Of book collectors, was at
home only In his own field. One day
in browsing about Bond street, Lon
don, he went into the shop of a dealer
in brlc-a-brac. The dealer, who knew
him by sight, said persuasively:
Here is fine bit of pottery which
your lordship really ought to have, and
you shall have it very cheap-only 9
guineas."
So Lord Spencer bought it and took
1t home and set it in high place. One
day a connoisseur of china paid him
visit, and Lord Spencer showed his
bargain.
"What did you give for it?" asked
the connoisseur.
1.-TWO guineas." answered Spencer
rather proudly.
"H'mw said the connoisseur. "At
that price the marmalade should have
been included"
'What do you mean"
"Why, that precious piece of yours is
nothing more nor less than a shilling
marmalade pot with a green thistle
painted on it,"

TAe City and the Cemeteries Art

TAe City ana the Cemeteries Are
Hopelessly Intermingled.
The city of Annoy is on an island OF
the same name. For upward Of 1000
years it has been an important trading
place. The population of the island
is estimated at over 100000, and it has
been said that there are something like
100000 dead bodies packed in its soil.
For many centuries the hillsides of the
city have been used as burylng
ground. Now the city and the ceme-
terry are hopelessly mixed The graves
touch one another at every point and
form solid white surface of rock,
brick, porcelain and cement, covering
more than 100000 square feet Near
one Of the josshouses 10000 bodies are
buried vertically to save space. They
stand on a plot of ground of as many
feet square.
The wells from which the city draws
its water supply are shallow and are
sunk on the edge of graveyards and
even among the tombs themselves.
The water is muddy and is colored by
the perpetual turning up of the soil.
1t has no sewers, and the streets vary
from cwo feet to six feet in width.
No wheeled vehicle can use them.
Here and there is an open place or
plaza, dug out so as to be huge re-
ceptacle into which the streets dis
charge their refuse. Filth abounds,
and its twin sister, disease, fourishes.
The atmosphere is laden with noxlous
smells, and the burial of the dead goes
on at an alarming rate.

The oldest locomotive in operation
will soon be withdrawn from service
and placed in the Durham college Of
science at Newcastle-on-Tyne. This
locomotive was built by George
Stephenson for the Hetton colliery,
near Durham, and placed in service
on November Is, 1922 nearly three
years before the first public railway in
the world was opened-the Stockton
and Darlington railroad. 1t was de-
sighed to draw train of sixty-four
tons at a speed of four miles an hour
on steep grades, and has been con-
tinuously operated at the Hetton
colliery until recently, or for nearly
eighty years. On d level track the
locomotive could haul 12O tons ten

A horse feeding complacently on a
diet of old papers was a sight seeh at
Eleventh and Grand avenue. A
stonecutter drove q horse up TO the
Star office and left it standing ih
front of one of the city's garbage
cans. The horse had well-groon,ed
appearance. No ribs were visible or
would its appearance have attracted
the attention of the humane agent.
The animal moved up to the garbage
can and began nosing its contents.
The can was filled to the top with
papers. There were newspapers,
wrapping paper and paper of various
other kinds. The horse began nib
bling on piece of old gray wrapping
paper. 1t appeared to be palatablc.
A bite followed the nibble and sooii
the horse was eating the paper al
yoraciously as an Angora goat. A

per. The horse appeared to relish the
different pieces Of news. When the
owner finally appeared the old roam
was just pulling from the bottom OF
the can luncheon paper with a pink

mind or notice the purloined meal OF

The old-fashioned white marble
mantel-piece is now considered so OBJ
jectionable and so out of keeping with
modern furnishings that many novel
expedients for alteration are being
tried where the expense of a new
mantel is not desired. One Is to plas.
ter it all over and finish in Vene
tian red where this will harmoniza
with the woodwork. When very care.
fully done this may be ruled off to
initiate bricks or titles. Another is
to coat it over with plaster of paris
and then color it to harmonize with
the woodwork of the room. The best
scheme Of all, however, is to have a
wooden cover built to fit right over
the mantei, with bookshelves down
each side of a fireplace and a shelf
to cover the marble mantel shelf.

ALL ABOUT BUTTONS.
Their History Traced from Time whom
Wooden Molds Were Used.

Their History Traced from Time when
wooden Moids Were Used.
The original button was wholly a
product of needlework. but was soon
improved by the use of wooden mold.
over which cloth covering was sew
ed From this it was only a step to
the brass button, which was introduced
by hardware manufacturer in Bir-
mingham In 1859. 1t took 200 years
to improve on the method of sewing
the cloth on the covered button; then
an ingenious Dane invented the de-
vice of making the button in two parts
and clamping them together with the
cloth between.
In 1850 one Caspar Wistar set up the
manufacture of brass buttons in Phil
adelphia, and soon afterward Henry
Witeman began making them in New
York. The buttons of George Wash
ington and most of the continental
army were made in France. Connecti-
cut presently came to the front and
began making buttons of pewter and
tin at Waterbury, the present center
OF the DuttOn INDUSTRY.
Buttons are now made of almost ev-
erything fromseaweed and cattle hoofs
to mother-of-pearl and vegetable
ivory. Excellent buttons are made
from potatoes. which, treated chem
ically, become as hard as ivory.
Large buttons factories make their
entire product from various mixtures
of gutta percha, skim milk and blood (;
others from celluloid and horn. The
patent Office has issued 1855 patents
for making buttons.
The most important branch of the
button industry in the United States
Is the making of pearl buttons, the
material being obtained from shells
gathered along the Mississippi river
The industry has practically grown
up within the last ten years, and its
introduction Is due entirely to ]. f.
Boepple of Muscatine, Iowa, native
of Germany. who had learned the
trade abroad.
He saw that millions of dollars were
going to waste in the shells known as
'niggerheads,' of which tons
were piled UP on the banks
OF The river. Thousands of people
are now employed in turning these
shells into buttons, the little plants
being found all the way from Mime
sofa to Missouri Muscatine is still the
great headquarters of the industry
It has forty factories. The value OF

Poor baby has only one method of
making her wants known-namely, by
her cry, and 1t takes some little prac-
tice to distinguish between the cry
that merely says, please, I'm so hun
gry!" the temper cry of pain or ILL
ness.
Till baby is four or five months old
she doesn't shed tears. so when her
little temper is very much upset she
cries furiously and in an unreasoning
sort of way.
When she is merely hungry, the cry
is still passionate, but somewhat
hoarse, too, and accompanied by sun
dry grunts. If baby is sleepy, the cry
sounds as If she were on the verge of
the land OF dreams, whereas IA she
has stomach ache, she generally
draws her poor little knees up and
screams violently, refusing for some
time to be pacified.
Crying is always disheartening to
those who hear 1t, but II baby does not
cry at all 1t Is very bad sign in
deed, though, on the other hand, many
babies are allowed to cry unneces-
sarily, and instead of at the first wall
cramming a comfort into baby's mouth
or violently jogging him, listen to the
cry and discover by the character
thereof II it's a pin that's offending,
If baby is i'll or uncomfortable or hun
cry and then remedy the cause.
