Where is the libretto?" asked the

BUTTON MAD.
The Height Of the Craze In the Time
of Louis XIV.

The Height Of the Craze In the Time
of Louis XIV.
The oldest buttons at present in the
museums and among the collections
are the gold buttons discovered at
Mycenae at the time of the excavations
undertaken by DR.. Schliemann and al
so those found in the tomb Of Chill
deric l. The latter were exhibited at
the Louvre in the Musee des Souver-
aims. They are made of gold and of
colored glass, initiating garnet. But
tons detached from copes and religious
garments Of the middle ages and of
the renaissance have also been dis
covered.
But the richest things of the kind
| beyond a doubt are those that were
worn by Louis XIV. M. Maze Sencier
in the Register Of Diamonds and
Presents to the King" at present pre-
served in the ministry Of foreign af-
fairs, gives an official account Of the
buttons Of that pompous sovereign. 1t
is as follows:
FEB. 8, 16S5.-Montarcy presented
to the king eighty diamond buttons,
valued at 10000 livres.
May 7, 16S5.-Made and delivered
by Sieur Bose six diamond buttons,
5000 livres.
July 26, 16s5.-Handed over by
Montarcy to the Marquis de Seigne-
lay for the king seventy-five diamond
buttons, 5S6,703 lirves.
Aug. l., 1685.-Two diamond but
tons, 67,S66 livres.
Aug. 16, 16S5-Three diamond but
tons, $3.50 livres.
Dec. 20, 16S5.-Four diamond but
/ tons, S3,775 livres."
Another item in the same year:
July 26, 1685.-Furnished by Mon
tarcy for the kings vest, forty-eight
gold buttons, each set with a dia-
mond, and ninety-six clasps, forty
eight of which were composed of five
diamonds each and forty eight Of one
diamond each. 185,123 livres.
ALSO 3S4 clasps for the doublet of
the king, 1852 of which were formed of
Ave CiaTlcnes ecch and 1852 Of one dia-
.nond each. 1,00G,345 livres.
I'm addition there were seven orna-
mented clasps Of three diamonds each,
201,270 livres.
"Sundry presents, thirty three orna-
mented clasps, 574,366 livres."
That foots up total of about 3,O00,-
600 livres for the buttons OF the
great king for the single year 1885.
The preceding year Louis XIV received
a lot of buttons that were valued at
| 1,071,OO0 livres. In these enumera-
| tions there is no mention of the dia-
monds for the shoes, the garters, the
cuffs and the hats Of the monarch.
We are obliged to admit, with our
coats and overcoats garnished with
miserable little cloth and bone affairs,
we. cut a poor figure in the fancy but
ton business compared to the dudes of
the days Of Louis XIV.-Paris Figaro.

A 1 LEARNED BODY.
The Composition of the General Edu-
cation Board.

The Composition of the General Edu-
cation Board.
Mr.. Rockefeller was a very interest
ing business man, and was admitted
to be at least efficient A contempor-
ary observer says: 1T has long been
conceded that his was the most prac-
tical and competent mind in the United
States devoted purely to business prob
lens in the last quarter Of the nine
teenth century" His mind undoubt-
edly Is of very remarkable quality and
powers. He is getting to be very
, interesting giver, and the working OF
his mind in the field of benefaction
promises to be as we'll worth following
as in the field of acquisition. In his es-
says in the latter field he contrived
the most remarkable money-getting
machine Of modern times, selecting the
men to run it with admirable judg-
ment Of their capacity to do what they
were set to do In his new field he
seems to be following much the same
general plan. He has apparently put
his mind on the difficult problems OF
distributing money so that 1t will dc
the most possible good. The general
object that most appeals to him is
education, and he has assembled huz
man machine to make a business OF
promoting education.
That is what the general education
board is for-"to promote education In
the United States without distinction
of race, sex or creed, and especially
to promote, systematiZe and make ef-
fective various forms Of educational
beneflcence." 1t is an extraordinarily
competent board for the purpose
Among its sixteen members are ex-

Of Nebraska, DR.. Judson Of the Uni
versity Of Chicago, H. B. Frissell OF
the Hampton Institute, Morris K. Je-
sup of the New York Chamber OF Com
merce. George Foster Peabody Of New
York, Democrat with radical lean
ings, Is treasurer: DR.. Frederick L,
Gates, the president, is a clergyman
drafted by Mr.. Rockefeller for this
work, and Dr. Buttrick, the secretary,
is also a clergyman. Here we have
many men Of many minds, but with
unanimity of purpose. men represen-
tative of all parts Of the country, and
those parts especially in which educa-
ton most needs nursing. Some OF
them are men Of such opinions in pol
itics and political economy that their
presence in the board is somewhat
surprising. Yet there they are, and
there they belong, for the board was
made to direct, without prejudice, a
very broad work. DR.. Gates says that
the boards next effort will be to help
the women's colleges which are unable
to house and care for the multitudes OF
young women who are knocking at
their doors" Their need he considers
the most immediate and imperative
educational need today in the New
England and middle states.-Harper's

INFuR1ArING.-Scotti folk are pro-
verbally canny and prudent in money
matters, and the following shows that
the younger generation is no exception
to the rule.
A teacher in a lowland school was
taking mental arithmetic with class
of boys. She asked one urchin:
How much would your mother give
you to buy four pounds OF tea al
one and six pound?"
I'VE ne'er get sac much at once as
that. num-"
Never: mind that. Four pounds at
one and six?"
But we Gamma afford the one and
six, mum. We always hae the one and
twa."

ply: "a can see ye're ne'er met ina

RELIGIOUS BARBARITY.
As Manifested In the Torture of Ami.

mails In india.
The Oriental religions, says the Bos-
ton Transcript, have had great credit
for teaching their. peoples respect for
the rights Of animals and general
mercy and kindness to them, and yet
these religions are responsible for
cruelties horrible to read of, as, for
instance, the long drawing out Of a
NAL in terrible suffering, on the theory
that some frightful sinner Of human
soul, having groveled so as to have
transmigrated into that animal, is re-
ceiving his allotted punishment. An
East Indian humanitarian, Mr.. Lab
hahangar Laxmidas, writing from Ma
gar Wado, Junagad, India, few
weeks ago to Lord Mimic. begged him
to put a stop to the impaling alive Of
pigs lambs and fowls in religious GER
emonies and the killing Of animals
with swords, knives and spears in the
hands Of the populace to make a re-
ligious holiday, and the crushing Of
miles of long rows of tied-up live goats
under the wheels Of a heavy chariot
that is driven on the bodies of the un-
offending creatures for another sort Of
religious ceremony. 1t appears that
under the compact between the British
government and the natives the gov
eminent may not interfere with the
killing of animals in the name Of re-
moral degradation of the tormentors,
no matter how high and holy the cause
may proclaim itself to be. whether in
India, Europe or the United States.

FuI.Ep.-Prof. James H. Hyslop, OF
the American Society for Psychical
Research, said in a discussion OF me-
diums:
Genuine mediums being so plentl-

those who ridicule false mediums.

line the other day.

"This elderly man started and then
burst suddenly into tears. His frame
shaking with sobs, he cried:
"John, John, why, oh, why did you
leave me to the misery of these pas'
years?'
"eYou knew him?' the medium ask

HIGFER THAN LAw.-JCaquin Miller,
the poet of the Sierras, in an ad-
dress in Oakland attacked the trusts.
What If their sins are .legal?" he
ended. "They are sins none the less,
and l wished when trusts sin legally
we could prevent the law from pro-
tecting them. l wish, in short, we
could all act as one of our Oakland
farmers did last year. He, one day
last year, found a score of men put
ting up telegraph poles all over his
best field. He ordered the men away,
but they wouldn't go. They showed
him q paper that gave them authority
to put up their poles wherever they
wished. The old man looked at the
paper, saw it was lawful, walked away
in silence. He went to the barn and
turned a savage red bull into the field.
The bull made for the men, the men
fled at top speed, and the farmer
shouted after them:
SHOW him your paper Show him
your paper!"-Washingto Star.

LAW AND MoRALs.-A Missouri grad
uate in law, says a politician of that
state, wrote to prominent lawyer in
Arkansas to inquire what chance there
was in that section for such one as
he described himself to be. He said:
Il am a Republican in politics and an
honest young lawyer"
The reply that came seemed encour-
aging in its interest: IF you are a
Republican, the game laws here will
protect you, and if you are an honest
lawyer, you will have no competition" ."
