BUTTONS FROM POTATOES. - Great
quantities of buttons are now made
from potatoes. 1t is not generally known
that If the substance of the common
Irish potatoes be treated with certain
acids it becomes almost as hard as
stone. and can be used for many pur-
poses for which horn. ivory and bone
are employed. This quality of the po--
tatoes adapts 1t to button making, and
a very good grade Of button Is now
made from the well known tuber. The
potato button cannot be distinguished
from others save by a careful exami-
nation. and even then only by an ex-
pert. since they are colOred to suit the
goods on which they are to be used,
and are every whit as good looking as
a button of bone or ivory. Their cheap
ness Is a great recommendation, and
will no doubt lead to q much larger

Fitzhugh Lee.

All the Southland bows its head
in grief caused by the death OF
Fitzhugh Lee, the distinguished
soldier and gallant gentleman, who
passed away last Friday in the city
of Washington, D. c. As a cavalry
leader in the Civil war General Lee
had few equals on the Confederate
side, his war reeoad commencing
with the outbreak of hostilities and
ending with the surrender at Apo
mattox, After the var General
Lee served his State and country as
faithfully and conscientiously as he
did in the great fonr years struggle
for principle. As governor of Vir-
ginis and as onsul-general of the
United State at Havana when the
Spanish-American Wal broke out
he ACQUITTED himself with credit, es-
pecially in the latter position, which
at the time required great deal of
prudence and conservatism. So
well did he measure up to the de-
mands of this crisis between two
nations that he commanded the I'D
miration of the whole country and
his death has called forth sincere
expressions of grief from every Sec
ton of the United States.
At the time of his death Fitzhngh
Lee was a brigadier-general of the
United States army, retired, having
been appointed to that position in
1901.
