Buttons Out of Fruit Seeds.

In Central America there is a fruit
producing palm which has quite meta
morphosed the button business and
formed the nucleus Of one Of the most
important industries. The seed of this
fruit contains milk that is sweet to
the taste and is relished by the ma
lives. The milk, when allowed to re-
main in the nut long enough, becomes
hardened, and turns into a substance
as hard as the ivory from an ele-
plants tusks. The plant which pro-
duces these nuts Is called the ivory
plant. Most Of the buttons used in the
United States, whether called ivory.
pearl, bone, horn, or rubber, come
from this source. The ivory plant Is
one Of the wonders Of the age. and
is rewarding its growers with vast for
tunes. The nuts are exported by the
shipload to big button factories, from
which they issue forth in every con-
ceivable design, color, grade, and clas-
sification Of button.

Woman In the Middle West.


The social picture Of the middle
West as whole, however, presents
the sexes occupying different intellect
ual and moral planes. There the wom-
an Is indisputably the mistress in all
hat makes for culture-cultufe in let
tiers and in art; the man is king in his
own active realm. Each is most def
erential to the other in that other S
sphere. The books on the shelves, the
pictures on the wall, are Of the wOm-
ans choice or selection. The man
speaks of her literary or artistic tastes,
usually Of both combined, with the
reverence that is due to her superior
intellectual and spiritual gifts and ac-
Quirements. She is the hostess, and
the host stands appropriately behind
her. She is the instructed and leads
the intellectual movements of her
town. The book club, the Dante club,
the entertainer Of the lecturing or the
travelling lion, Is the woman. Often
the clergyman assists; but she, through
her influence over the surrender ed
man, has selected her clergyman, and
on her he must count for the success
of himself and Of his work. She is,
indeed, generous and gracious, and
welcomes with Joy every man who
strays from business into the company
Of books and pictures, into homes
which she has made. They call their
houses homes oftener than the East,
and these homes bespeak the finer
taste Of the woman. Her education IS
likely to be more virile than that Of
her Eastern sisters, because it is ae-
CURED at schools and colleges where
cO-education of the sexes is the rule.
Her domination in the home and her
primacy in the higher life, as we are
inclined to call it, are seen not only in
the more obvious social affairs, but in
the element Of seriousness which
marks most life in this midway Of the
country.
AS the man pays her high respect
by recognizing her superiority in the
kingdom Of taste, Of feeling, Of the
imagination, Of the knowledge which
comes from books, she returns his def
erence by generating him as the active
ruler Of the world Of affairs. This atti-
tude was well expressed by a young
woman student in one Of the great edu-
cation universities Of the West. She
was asked to write her view Of Thomas
Jefferson, and this was her response:
Thomas Jefferson was timid and sly,
but lovely in his family" She could
judge him as one Of the world Of
men," because she was not of his fam
lily; If she had been, the last part Of
her description alone would have suf-
ficed.-Henry LOOMS Nelson in Har-
per's Magazine.

eyes, that's It," went on Jones.
Then he fixed his eyes on a point in
the roof and blurted out in jerks and
starts, as the odd lines came before
him, the following effusion:
The boy stood on the burning deck,
He-he stood upon his head,
Because his arms and legs were off,
So he waved his arms and said
My name is Norval. On the Grampian
Hills
The village smithy stands;
The smith, mighty man, was-was
wrecked,
On the pitiless Goodwin Sands.
And by him sported on the green
His little grandchild Wilhelmine;
Teh doctors had given him up, sir,
The darling Of our crew!
And-and the cheek Of Argyll grew dead
ly pale,
And we rushed for the signal rockets.
Lets fire them quick" we cried,
And the good Abbot Of Aberbrothock

Then who will stand on either hand and
keep the bridge with me-?
On board the schooner Hesperus that
sails the wintry sea,
/, with two more to help me, will hold
the foe in play,
For am to be Queen Of the May,
mother; I'm to be Queen Of the
May.
When it was all over, and the roars
CT laughter had subsidized, Jones rushed
off the stage and hid himself for the
rest Of the evening. And the memory
Of his famous recitation Is still an
evergreen one in the annals Of the

Healthf'uI Optimism.

A certain lady had met with a seri-

it was Rev. Sidney Smith who recon-

A Noble Woman.


An unusual ceremony took place in
New Orleans, when many thousand
persons from every walk Of life gath
cred to do honor to a woman. A low
ing-cup was presented to Miss Sophie
Wright, whom her fellow townsnen
love to call '.The First Citizen Of New
Orleans" and the presentation was
made the occasion for a public demon
stration of affection.
Miss Wright is little, crippled
woman, white-haired and sweet-faced
All her life she had been struggling
against poverty and against the never
ceasing pain of spinal trouble. Able
to go about only with the aid Of steel
harness and a cane, she still has the
strength Of a multitude in doing good
works.
Twenty years ago she was but a
girl Of eighteen, yet she had already
established prosperous and growing
boarding school, and was beginning
to see ahead an end to poverty. One
day a young mechanic asked her 70
teach him to read and write. Suddenly
brought face to face with the fact
that thousands Of boys were growing
up in New Orleans untaught and with
out hope Of advancement, she threw
her school open to them in the even
ing, and called for volunteer teachers
from among her girl pupils. Thus was
established a free night school to
which thousands of men to-day owe
all their education. This year it en-
rolled fifteen hundred pupils, and three
hundred were turned away for lack
Of room.

"BRAlN FAC" A MYTH.

1t Is Eye Strain that Causes the Com
dition Complained OF.
The so-called 'brain fag" is q silly
myth. The brain does not tire; intel
lectual work does not hurt under nor
NAL conditions. It is eye strain that
causes all the brain fag which the
newspapers have been exploiting Of
late. Spencer learned this lesson and
escaped the tragedy Of Nietzche and
Carlyle by debating his writings, get
ting others to do his research work for
him, and by being willing to 60 with
out vast realms Of accurate knowl-
edge. Parkman was driven to similar
expedients. But all the rest groaned
and suffered even while they wrote
little notes and postal cards instead Of
letters to their best friends.
The result in suffering was incalcul-
able and horrible. There are biog-
raphies Of these people which do not
allude to it; physicians and medical
editors have been known who smiled
ironically at the "exaggeration" Of
vivid imaginations;" and there are
numberless fools who think they are
excused from all sympathy with Car
lyle or Nietzsche. They. do not know
that the misery of the pain Of one at
tack Of the nausea of sick headache
has not been equaled except in some
medieval or oriental torture chamber.
When for some profound reason the
dominant and oldest instinct of the or
ganism-that for food and nutrition
Is violently reversed, it should be plain
even to the stupidest mind that the
deepest wrong exists and that the very
springs Of life are being drained. Add
to this another symptom almost equal
~ terrible, intense pain in the brain,
the organ controlling both character
and life processes, and what disease
could be more desperate? How many
Of our patients had sick headache it is
impossible to tell, owing to the dis
inclination, especially In letters and
biographies, to speak Of vomiting.
Probably most Of them did suffer from
1t more or less.-Booklovers' Maya

Furnishing a Home.

1t seems pity that the young wo-
man who is about to establish home
and has sum Of money to spend for
Its garnishing cannot be persuaded
from laying it out all at once. She
rObs herself of so much future enjoy
ment. The spick and span sets of
furniture which are carelessly ordered
from an Hpholsterer, and carried home
and stood around her parlors by his
men, will never afford her half the
satisfaction she can get in room for
which to-day she buys chair, and
next week, seeing there must be a
table to accompany the chair, she
starts on fresh shopping excursion,
and finds q table which is exactly
what she was looking for; and in an
other month, discovering the need of
bookcase or a screen, she has again
the delight Of the hunt, and the graft
fication Of obtaining the prettiest
screen and bookcase in the city.
Such a room is growth, a gath
ering together, of household treasures
little by little, and piece by piece. Each
article, bought only when the need
arises, or when something is happily
found to just meet the need, will have
a family history which makes it an
entertaining as well as valuable pos
session. Each couch and footstool is
an achievement; each rug and curtain
represents triumph. Such a home,
built up gradually, with careful plan
ming In each part, with thought and
loving consideration in al its details,
acquires a meaning far deeper than
could be purchased by the longest
purse from the most fashionable cab

Names Of Fabrics.

The origin Of the names of popular
fabrics is even more interesting than
the tracing to third lingual roots Of
ordinary words. About the year 1929
the woollen trade Of England became
located at Worsted, about Is miles
from Norwich, and it was at this place
that the manufacture Of the twisted
double thread Of woollen, afterwards
called worsted, was first made, If not
invented. Linsey-wolsey was first
made at Linsey, and was for a long
time a very popular fabric. Kersey-
mere takes its name from the village
Of Kersey, and the mere close by 1t,
in the county of Suffolk. We have to
thank GAIA, in Palestine, the gates Of
which Samson carried away, for gaze
or gauze. GAIA means treasure" Vol
taire, wishing to describe some intel
lectual but dressy woman, said, "She
is an eagle in cage Of gauze" Muslin
owes its name to Mossoul, a fortified
town in Turkey in Asia. Tulle obtains
it's name from that Of a city In the
south Of France. Travellers by rail In
Brittany often glide past Guingamp
without remembering that it was here
that was first produced that useful fab
ric bingham. Damask derives it's name
from the city Of Damascus; calico from
Calicut, town in India formerly cele-
brated for its cotton cloth, and where
also calico was printed; cambria, from
Cambray, a town in Flanders, where
it was first made; and tweed from a
fabric worn by fishermen upon the
River Tweed.

panion.

The domestic subjects sub-depart-
ment Of the new London educational
authority does not mean to do things
by halves. If they teach young folks
how to manage baby the lessons are
to be thorough. No dolls are going
to be used or picture illustrations,
but good, honest 3-month-old infant
warranted to scream at pin pricks,
kick at bathing, and be sick when i'm

nestle instruction classes is compuls-
cry on all girls of school age for one
half day per week. Results Of the
most encouraging description have
been noticed already from some Of the
classes. A well-known doctor stated
the other day that woman's life had
been saved by the skilled nursing Of
13-year-old daughter, who had been a
regular attendant at one Of the board
school sick nursing classes.

If not yet awake to their peril. Then
Sprigsbee ran for the door and was
confronted by sitting column Of
black smoke. The court room was on
the third floor, and he gained the first
landing In safety. As he turned to
the lower stairs he suddenly thought
Of Mrs. Sprigsbee, his wife-ah, yes,
his wife; the thought brought smile
to his hardened face. But the smile
passed quickly, and in it's stead look
Of horror, Of fear, Of anxiety came, not
for himself, but for the woman he had
thoughtlessly, cowardly left in the
court room.
He whirled on his heel and dashed
back up the stairway, three steps at a
bound. Mrs. Sprigsbee was running
about the court room frantically, aim
lessly when her husband entered. ooh,
where are my children, where are my
boys?" she walled in agony.
".They are down. They are safe"
Sprigsbee cried and took her by the
hand. "Here, come with me. We
must get down instantly"
The woman was faint and weak
from long suffering suffering that he
himself had brought upon her, and
now, as he gripped the delicate fin
gers in his own, Sprigsbee realized it
all. She could but slowly descend the
stairs, in spite Of his efforts to hurry
her. The smoke rolled up in murky,
choking gusts, and the sharp, inces-
SAINT cracking Of flames came from
below.
1--WE must go faster" Sprigsbee cried
desperately.
The woman tried to increase her
pace, but could not. The raging smoke
blinded her, stifed her, and before the
first landing was reached, she fell in
swOOn.
Sprigsbee caught her in his arms. He
was surprised to find how light and
frail she was. With his burden press
ed close to him, he dashed down the
lower flight. The hot breath Of the
flames scorched his face, and from
below he could hear the shouts and
yells Of the firemen.
you'll never make it this wayv' he
heard someone cry. go back to the
other stairs!'' But he was deaf to the
warning cry. He wrapped the wom-
ans cape about her face, pressed her
closer and rushed on. For time, an
age it seemed to him, he was wading
through furnace of fire. He closed
his eyes, leaped, and fell headlong into
the arms Of two big firemen. A mo-
ment more and he was in the refresh
ing air, safe, with his burden still
pressed close to him.
He lay her down on the cool grass
and famed her white face with his
hat. He believed he had never seen a
sweeter, prettier face than this. He
raised her head on his arm, and she
opened her large blue eyes.
"Whera are little Tom and Harry 2"
she asked feebly.
Here we are, mamma" And four
youthful arms clasped her neck. :.
