Brooklyn Eagle: We have looked
through the constitution and bylaws of
this country without discovering any au-
thority for the tarring and feathering of
its citizens. Possibly there is no such
authority. Yet we cannot repress a pang
of sympathy for the people of a village
In this state, who, In ignorance Of legal
procedure, fell back upon devtsements of
their own. and regretfully but firmly
painted with tar, and then sprnkled with
feathers. the body of certain man, and
gave him an hour to betake himself TO
some other town. For it appears that the
person was fashioned in the likeness of
certain degenerate youth of BROOKLYN.
and that he felt called upon to address
unescorted women in terms the reverse of
compliment. The women tired of this and
told the men folks, and the men folks
snaked the offender into publicity with a
lasso, bound him to a tree, coated him
with tar and feathers and warned him to
get away quick. He got away There is
hardly doubt that the persons reforma-
ton will be more complete than If he had,
been sent to jail to idle for a week or
two secure from the observation and re-
proach of his neighbors. There is hardly
doubt that we have in all our cities
candidates for a similar distinction, who
would amend their conduct forthwith il
their enthusiastic fellow citizens would
only take them to public square, clothe
them as this person was clothed and add
TO this service a ride on rail to the out
skirts of the town. There may be moth
ing In the constitution to justify it, but

BUTTONS MADE OF MILK.
fluid Of Palm Fruit Becomes Hard
With Ace

Down in South America there is a
frut-producing palm that has quite met
amorphosed the button business, and
formed the nucleus for one of the most
important industries in the United States,
said II. /. Rawlins, a New York drummer
at the Raleigh.
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 plant Most
Of the buttons now 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 a vegetable milk, and they
grow bushes
The ivory plant is one of the marvels
of the age, and is rewarding its growers
with vast fortunes. The nuts are brought
to the United States by shiploads, and are
shipped across the continent to the big
button factories from which they issue
forth in every conceivable. design. color,
grade and classification of button.
The ivory plant has recently been dis
covered in California. but the nut 1t pro
duces in its wild state is of inferior quail
lty and will not produce good buttons. 1t
Is believed. though, with the proper cul-
tiVation the fruit would be as valuable as
the Central American. If SO, the growing
OF buttons in America would become an
industry of importance second only to the
growing of corn, wheat and cotton, for
everybody wears buttons.
The best ivory nut for commercial pur-
poses is found on the banks of the river
Magdalena, in the United States of Co
lombia, whore by some it is called the
Iagua palm. The fruit forms a globular
tl,a 81 of n ma IN c hpa
and weighs from 20 to IS pounds. The
head is a kind of cluster of bulbs and in
all contains from 90 to 60 seeds. The seeds
are allowed to dry and are harvested sew
cral times year by the natives.
The ivory nut is used almost solely in
the manufacture of buttons, though some
factories also make poker chips from
them The nut, however has superseded
the archaic mud, rubber and bone buttons
III vogue formerly. 1t admits of wider
and more varied treatment for this pur-
pose than any other known substance and
Is easily worked. The United States con-
sumes more than one-half of the worlds
product of ivory nuts, and nine enths of
the vegetable ivory is manufactured into
buttons
When the nut reaches the button fac
tory II is cut into three slabs In the pro-
cess of cutting the button is partially
shaped. Afterward the thread holes are
drilled and countersunk. The button is
then sent to the Dolishcr, who uses the
ShaVinSS and powder made in the drilling
to polish them. Aftcrward they are sent
to the designer, who traces on the buttons
in indelible dye the designs needed. After
receiving these outlines, il the buttons are
to remain smooth and receive another
coat. they are put into the dye. then they
are put into pressing machine fitted With
dies of the pattern desired.
