Buttons and women. Clothes.

"Why does a woman button her gar
ments on the left sideY The question
is discussed in the London Tailor and
Cutter by several correspondents. one
Of whom advances this theory: "For
ladies' to have the buttonholes in the
right side of their garments has its
origin in the times when it was neces-
sary for lady when going out at night
to have a gentleman escort. who sup
ported her upon his left arm. leaving
his right or sword arm at liberty
Thus the lady's left hand would be free
to fasten or unfasten her cloak at hel
own pleasure and without inconven
ience."

values of Ears and oils.

There is a remarkable misapprehen-
sion. particularly among many per
sons of the more intelligent class OF
our people. says the Dietetic and Hy-
gienic Gazette, as to the food value OF
the fats and oils. The muscle or red
meat is a valuable source Of proteid,
but the excessive consumption Of pro
ted invites various diseases which fig
ure very prominently in Abe causes OF
death. The fats and oils increase ouI
resistance against cold and some OF
the causes of disease. The health OF
many so called scrofulous children
would be improved by teaching them
to eat more fat. Fats in abundance
constitute a very essential part of the
dietary of the tuberculous patient. A
larger proportion of the fatty elements
of foods would go long way in add
ing to the robustness Of many persons
and saving them from the subsequent
development of tuberculosis.

my notion.

He Was Noisy and a Thing of shreds

forbade sight or breath, l directed my
steps toward the source of throbbing
roll that ceaselessly wove itself In with
the noise of voices and the pattering OF
unshod feet Of beasts. AS | neared II
the noise became detached from the
hupbub a distinct and individual thing,
which insistently claimed attention and
made the very notes in the air dance
to time. Under O willow tree by the
water ditch that defined the square sat
a bent old man, unbelievably ragged
So torn were his many khalats that
they did not seem like constructed gar
mepts at all, bet strings of tatters and
tags collected and hung on his fat,
weak body. His head was bent on his
breast and his eyes were half closed.
On his stomach was a wooden bowl,
with a skin drum head stretched across
1t. and on this drum head he beat In
cessantly with his knuclles and his
fist. The motion was so automatic and
deadly regular in its recurrent changes
that it seemed almost as if he were q
cluckwOrk figure set at the edge of the
busy market to record the passage OF
time. / flung some coppers on the
brass begging tray by his side and went
off, unconsciously adjusting my steps
to his beating. He made the trivial
barter and the driving of laden animals
seem vapid and futile, and my bit Of

THE BUTTE HILL.

Where Fortunes Were Made and
Spent In n Day.
When Daily had acquired the proper
ties surrounding the Anaconda, he
opened up the Butte hill. One must
have a vivid imagination to picture tc
himself the growth Of Butte from thai
time on during Marcus Days life
Fortunes were made and spent In o
day An army of men descended into
the mines daily to strip them Of theil
treasure, huge forests were despoiled
of their timber to stull and shore ur
the excavations and protect the eartl
above, for these copper veins are Otter
100 feet wide. Immense smokestacks
began to vomit their clouds Of smudge
from scores Of furnaces scattered ovef
the hill; the moan and clank Of huge
pumps could be heard In the depths
forcing the water to the surface; the
pound of hammers and the steady i'm
pact of drills sounded everywhere
while the earth trembled and beloved
with distant underground explosions
Great holl0ws, like cathedral naveS
were scooped out, where the treasure
had lain in the rock ribbed earth
Horses and mules were blindfoldeC
and lowered into the mines-wher'
their hides, like the gray boards Of .h'
old miners, soon took on the greenisi
color of the copper which saturates ev
erything below tie surface. The Butt
hill soon became a yertiable under
ground city.-C. P. Connolly in Nc
Cures Magazine.
