COLLAR BUTTON SLOT MACHINE.
Drop n Nickel In the Slot, and Out
Pops n Button of Any Sort.

Drop q Nickel in the Slot, and out
Pops n Button of Any Sort.
The collar button slot machine does
not have clumsy, angular, towering
superstructure, like that of the chew
ing gum or chocolate outfit. No, the
collar buttons are set under a pro-
tecting cylindrical glass shield In YER
tical rows on the face Of a metal cylin-
der, perhaps eight inches in height and
four inches in diameter, standing on
end on a pedestal that supports the
machine.
In those vertical lines of collar but
tons appearing at regular intervals all
around the face of the cylinder there
are all sorts of collar buttons; the
buttons in each. column are all alike,
but there are numerous columns, each
different from all the others.
Here may be found buttons with
long shanks and buttons with short
shanks; buttons with big or with little
bases, and buttons with big or little
heads, and buttons with solid tops and
buttons with hinged tops; all sorts
of collar buttons. A little inscription
on the front of the machine tells you
to turn the cylinder until you have
brought the buttons of the style you
want to the front.
! Appropriately, the handle on top OF
the machine, by which you turn it, is
Il knob in the shape of a magnifed
collar button, and, turning that, you
can revolve the cylinder so as to bring
the buttons you want to the front
and in line with the machines de
livery opening at the base, you drop
a nickel in the slot at the top, and
click! the lowest button on that col
umn is detached, to drop into the little
tray in front of the opening, where
II can be reached by the purchaser

AN AMERICAN ouEENs
Some Day Royalty May Make sOuao
New World Daughter a COnsOrt.

Some Day Royalty May Make sOmo
New World Daughter a COnsOrt.
'There are 1872 American women in
the aristocratic circles Of England and
seventy-eight in France says the Rev.
DR.. Daniel II. Martin of Newark. az
am looking forward to seeing an
American girl on a European throne.
Why not2" Why not, indeed. Ameri-
ca has sent a "vicereine" to India, and
to England several women who, as
the helpmates Of dukes, have the privi-
lege of being addressed by Edward as
his rightly trusty cousins" says the
New York Mail. Indeed, the Empress
Josephine, the spouse of the most pow
erful European monarch since Charlie
magne, was an American in the sense
that she was a native of new world
island. If rumOr is correct, the young
crown prince of Germany lost his
heart to charming American girl be-
fore he found it again in a German
princess Of the blood.
That sort Of thing is always hap
pening in the Ruritana of the romantic
fictionists. One of these days it will
happen in real life. The prince who
comes a-wooing will be no Cophetua
enamored of a beggar maiden with a
paltry pittance of ten thousand year.
Royalty will drop its handkerchief at
the feet of some multimillionaire's
daughter, and the precedent of nearly
300 Of her American sisters wearing
titles abroad argues that she will pick
1t up. Her fortune will rehabilitate
the estate of her sutton and the reve-
nues of his realm. Then there will be
an American queen, who has come by
her titles in better fashion than any
silly daughter of the crown" who
traces her descent by the backstairs
route to the conqueror or his progeny.
Peasant blood is strong in the Balk-
an dynasties. There is a double infu-
sion Of 1t in the Romanoff line. If
now and then a European sovelegn
has found a way to wed a daughter Of
his people, sooner or later a way will
be found to annex an American heir
ess, and it will be as much easier as
1t Is for a Belf-made American than a
self-made Hnglishman or German to
gain a royal audience. What effect
such match would have on American
social life need not be considered, I'M
til the match is made. But it will be
a splendid thing for the royal princes
and for the future of their stock.
They are all so intermarried and in
ter-related that the advent Of a bride
who is a positively new factor should
suffice to make their blase highnesses
sit up with real attention. For the
good Of their offspring the infusion Of
little fresh American blood should
be welcomed. The various royal and
imperial stocks threaten to deteriorate
and die out altogether through repeat
ed inbreeding. In the old days this
tendency was corrected by the occa-
siOnal introduction of new blood that
was no less vigorous because illegiti-
mate. Recruiting from that source is
not so easy now, and the rights of fr-
ture generations simply clamor for
new deal in the line Of blood. If the
dynasties will go back ten centuries
they will find their founders picking
and choosing humber helpmeets than
the new worlds daughters.

Or, the old saying:
"a cold, wet May,
A barn full of hay"

The cat would no doubt be sur.
prised to know how potently it con-
trolls the weather. Many believe that
II a cat meows on the doorstep or
scratches wood 1t is 'sure sign" of
rain. Some say that If a cat sits fac
Ing the north and washes its face with
its left paw, it is sign that the wind
is in the northwest. The paw used
by the cat and the position 1t assumes
are said to indicate the quarter from
which the wind is blowing.
What country-bred boy does not
know that If he kills snake and
hangs its dead body from tie branches
Of tree rain will result2 Should he
wish to insure fair weather he must
bury the dead reptile.
Should it rain on July Is, which is
st. Swithin's day, certain old farmers
in the East look for forty days of rain
in the next two months. They also
believe that thick corn husks portend
a cold winter, and that If cattle lie
down at once when turned out to pas
ture in the morning it may be accepted
as proof that 1t will rain within TWEEN
ty-four hours, or If chickens come out
while it Is raining the storm will not
last long, but If they keep closely un-
der cover it will be a long rain.
There are those who swear by the
old saying that the sun shines every
Saturday but one in the whole year.
No date, however, is given for the sin
gle Saturday on which the sun will
not shine for a single moment.
Birds, dogs, oxen and geese are also
supposed to have some sort of ocult
faculty of foreseeing the weather and
fOrecasting it by their actions. Even
the tiny ant is believed to possess pro-
phetic powers, and if one finds little
ant hills in the garden or lawn paths
in the morning they are accepted by
some as proof of a fair day.
The old saying that "all signs fail
in dry weather" must be comforting to
many weather prophets. who, In err
ing, want some saying to fall back on.
Rural postmen now carry flags indi-
eating weather conditions, and when
these forecasts do not make good"
the weather prophet says with certain
truth: "Uncle Sans got lot to learn
yet about the weather" And yet, al
though the United States Weather Blu
reau occasionally fails to make good
its representations, one should not I'M
dervalue its services on that account.
One cannot inquire into Its achieve
ments without discovering that it is
most valuable government institution
and that it is steadily increasing in
efficiency. 1t unquestionabIy saves
hundreds of lives and a vast amount
of property. According to one insur-
ance company, the United States

How They Save Lights.

On a sunken reef $50 feet distant
from Stornoway lighthouse is a remark
able beacon. Which warns mariners with
the help of a light which is only ap-
parent. The beacon is a cone of cast
iron plates, surmounted with a lantern
containing a glass prism This prism
derives its light from refracting the rays
emitted from the lighthouse, and the op-
teal delusion is marvellous. Mariners
naturally suppose that there is a lighted
lamp on the beacon itself and many of
them will not believe otherwise. But
the object of the beacon is obtained
when the navigator sees the reflected
light, which indicates the perilous rock
below. This beacon in the north of Scot
land has been in use more than half a
century and since it was fixed in position
others have been placed in other neigh
borhoods tc make clear points of danger.
1t is an ingenious and very effective safe
guard against perils of the coast-Ion-
don Globe.
