LATEST FAD IN BUTTONS.

The woman who can embroider has
the advantage over her sister who is
not handy with the needle. To give
a smart touch to her shirt waists she
can embroider buttons for trimming,
to take. the place of the hand-painted
sets whose place they have usurped.
Apretty idea for a white silk or
wool waist is to have buttons to
match embroidered in violets or for
get-me-nots. To accomplish this, have
a square of the waist material
stamped, then stretch it across the
embroidery frame and proceed to en-
broider each flower separately. The
tailor who is to cover the buttons will
doubtless prefer to cut the flowers out
himself so that there will be plenty of
margin.

straa re and Almost Shocking Rite
fractieed Among the Iuhabitants of
theMongolian Steppes-other Pecui-
lar Customs OF an Oriental People.

The Wild nomad tribes who range
over he vast country known as Mon
golia have been celebrated for their
horsdmanship from the earliest days OF
history, when they swept across Asia
and down through Central Europe,
leaving tracks never to be effaced. In
the mother country of the race, Tibet
and In the deserts of Mongolia, the
tribes of wild horsemen have altered
very little with the march of the cen
turies, but OF late years they have been
reduced to n certain degree of order
and, lacking the outlet formerly proyid-
ed for their superhuous energies by
wars and lnter-trlbal raids, they are
likely TO lose much of their old spirit
and characteristic customs.
The hereditary aristocracy play a
great part in Mongolian life, and even
among the widest nomad tribes

have for some time past been little

called upon. Beyond the possession OF
more numerous flock, finer sheepskin
coats nnd larger tent, it is difficult TO
see what privileges are conferred by
rank. The expression, "a beggar on

meaning In Mongolia, for prince and

to tent drinking tea and gossiping, and
1t Is only in the autumn and winter,
when the cameis have to be employed
for transport service, that the Mongol
does any hard work Every Mongol is
q born horseman, and he herds his
focks of sheep, goats and camels on
horseback, being able, 1t Is said, to keep
his seat even when intoxicated, as he Is

There Is, In fact, no circumstance or
Mongol life IN which horsemanshlp
does not play part. Courtship and mar

lated chase and abduction of the bride
constituting the ceremony of the latter,
while even in the last scene OF life $
drama the ruling passion strong In

eral obsequies. AS Il rule, the Chinese
hurial rites are followed In the case of
the chief lamas and princes, who,
placed In collins, are buried in tombs

scendants of the deceased have to wor-

usually burnt, and the ashes covered
by small mounds or cairns known as
''nobos" or "obos," custom partly due
to the Shamanlstic practice Of making
sacred heaps or cairns, to which II is an
act of piety to add a stone.
The method of burial most congenial
to the wild free soul of the Mongol is,
however, that which is so repugnant
to our Western ideas, and yei there is
something weirdly characteristic about
the scene. The dead man. wrapped in

GATHERING INDIA RUBBER.
An Account of the Manner of Harvest
ing Valuable Crop.

Al tI1oHhA VI TIC ot
ing Valuable Crop.
With the increase of pneumatic
tired vehicles rubber has become one
of the chief exports of some South
American countries. In his book
climbing and Exploration in the Bo-
liyian Andes Sir Martin Conway
gives an interesting account of the way
in which the gum is procured and pre-
pared.
The workman, starting out early In
the morning-for when the sun is high
the trees cease TO bleed-carries with
him a number of little tin cups. Hav-
ing arrived at the tree, he makes one
or more incisions In the bark and at
taehes one of the tin cups below each
cut by pressing II into the soft bark.
The number of incisions that can safely
be made in the tree is a matter upon
which there is more or less disagree
ment 1t seems to be settled however,
that a strip of bark all down the tree,
one-third of the circumference In
width, must be left unbroken or the
tree will bleed to death.
The cup collects the drops of sap that
exude from the wound in the bark.
Ultimately the wound becomes covered
with film or eliot of dried sap, which
also is afterwards removed and util-
lied.
The workman proceeds from tree to
tree, attaching his cups, till he has
tapped from 10 to 100 trees. After
the hour when the sap ceases to run
the man goes round again, carrying Il
tin vessel with a cover, into which he
pours the milk that has run into the
cups.
When he has brought the days gath
ering to his hut he lights fire of palm
wood. He places a funnel over 1t to
collect the smoke, and then, taking
kind of small wooden paddle, dips the
blade into the liquid, which covers it
with thin coating. He now holds
the paddle over the fire in the smoke,
turing its faces alternately to the heat.
The coating of milk-like sap is thus
rapidly smoked and coagulated into
solid, cured rubber The paddle Is
then dipped again, and the process re-
peated until large bulb or ball has
been formed. When this has reached "A
convenient size il is slit down the sides
and stripped from the paddle. The
Jumps thus formed are ready for ex-
port. and are the pure rubber of COM
