made, because it is in their line. They have
no conveniences for keeping such things. Then
there are pawnbrokers doing a general business,
who take all sorts of things-practically any and

YOUTHFUL FIRE FIGHTERS.
Company Formed of Boys in Weehawken
Suburb-Their Fire Drills.

Under the sign Of a green lamp, which IN New
Jersey signifies fire boxes and fire houses. In the
pretty weehawken suburb Of Hauxhurst Park. is
suartered company of the youngest fire fighters
su the United States. They call themselves the
Iuer Hose Company. Jr-. and they have guaran-
feed protection q considerable colony OF neat
suburban homes which have been built around the
old Duer mansion.
The fire house is q tiny affair Of story, which
is divided into two rooms One Of these holds two
hose reels and 800 feet Of hose of the same size
and strength as that used by the grownup com
panies IN Weehawken- There are axes on the
walls as well as helmets and rubber boots every
thing in boys sizes. except the reels and hose.
The other room is fitted up as clubhouse for
the twelve members Of the company They have
games from checkers ping pong; small library,
including the latest books on fighting fire, and on
the walls are illustrations Of famous fires. The
boys who range In age from twelve to seventeen
years spend much Of their spare time at the fire
house and Of course. they are the envy Of the
other boys Of the suburb.
The fire company was organized in 1900. when the
Eauxhurst Park Land Company decided that more
protection was needed than that afforded by the
regular volunteer companies. none Of which had
house in the vicinity. Popular subscription pro-

BUTTONS WHICH GROW ON BUSHES.
Nuts Furnish Many of These Needful Ar
ticles for Wearing Apparel.

No, the ivory buttons you wear do not represent
the death of an elephant in the wilds of Africa;
your pearl buttons were probably never nearer than
you took them to the shell of bivalye mollusk,
and the probabilities that no rubber tree was
ever tapped to produce the hard rubber buttons
that adorn your overcoat. Down in Central Amer
lea there is fruit producing palm that has quite
metamorphosed the button business and formed
the nucleus for of the most important indus
tries in the United States. The seed Of this fruit
contains a milk that is sweet to the taste and
relished by the natives. The milk when allowed to
remain In the nut long enough becomes indurated
and turns into a substance as brittle and hard as
the ivory from the elephants tusk The plant that
produces these is called the ivory plant. Most
of the buttons used in America, whether
termed ivory. pearl. rubber. horn or BONE come
from this ivory plant. Thus the probabilities are
that your buttons are made from vegetable milk,
and they grow bushes.
The ivory plant is one OF the marveIs OF the age
and is rewarding its growers with vast fortunes
The nuts are brought to the United States by the
shipload and hauled the continent to the big
button factories. from which they issue forth IN
every conceivable design, color grade and classln
cation of button.
The ivory plant has recently been discovered in
California, but the nut it produces in its wild state

cultivation the fruit would be valuable as the
