ISOLATION has existed in Paris for the
purpose Of assisting persons transported to Cay
enne and New Caledonia with means to escape
from the convict colonies. It,was run on bust
ness principles by old lawbreaker, who, dur
ing his enforced residence on these undesirable
islands, devoted his leisure TO the study of their
geography and the tidal currents that prevail.
with the result that, on his release, he opened a
convict's escape agency, and undertook to pro-
cure anyone's release for a sum agreed upon in
advance.
All the friends of the convict had to do was to
make initial payment for which he provided
the convict through an agent in Cayenne, with
canoe. a months provisions for three men,
some ready money, arms and ammunition, and a
map and chart, giving minute instructions as to
how to escape, and reach Paramaribo, in Dutch
Guiana.
Should the prisoner be captured, or die through
the many perils Of his adventurous journey, no
further charge is made; but, in the event of his
safe arrival at Parsmaribo. the remainder Of the
sum WAS to be at once paid, otherwise it was IN
derstood that "regrettable incident" in the
shape Of re-arrest, would happen to the escaped
msn.
Numerous criminal aid societies flourish in Eng
land, but they direct their energies TO aid the

WHEN SEWING ON sUTToNs.
Little Hints That viii Add Greatly
to Their Life.

While lace buttons are pretty, they
never should be sewed on any bnt the
sheerest frocks and waists. such an
periine lawn, mercerized batiste or
mulls and organizes. They do not
wear well and soon give out despite
the most careful laundering and they
are too expensive for the ordinary
purse. There Is oQly one way to make
these dainty but perishable things last
and this is by sewing up and down
through them. Few people know that
this can be done. but this Is possible
for these little lace buttons are made
on q bone foundation which has
hole in the middle.
There is a great deal more art In
sewing on buttons than one would
imagine. and there are several little
tricks which can be employed that lew
people have discovered. One OF these
little tricks is to place the knot on
the right side OF the goods so that II
will come underneath the button and
thus be protected.
The reason some people find 1t hard
to make buttons stay fast is because
they place the knot on the wrong side
where it Is broken of by the iron the
first time it is laundered. thus allow
ing the threads to become locsened.
Another way is to run pin under
the button so that it does not lie
close to the material When the but
ton has been sewed on run the needle
out between the button and the ma
terial and holding the thread firmly
between the thumb and first finger
wind it around and around the threads
which serve to hold the button to the
material. This method Is the strong
est one and is particularly good for
sewing buttons on children's waists
and trousers where they have a good
deal Of strain.
Four hole buttons such as are used
for sewing on the bands OF petticoats
and other undergarments should be
sewn first through the two holes on
one side and then through the Oppo'
site two and never by any means dag
onally
When buttons are sewn on diagonal
ly they almost invariably break. taking
out the entire center portion.
