BUTTONS AS A FINE ART,
Girls Are Now Making Distinctive
Designs at Home.

The latest thing In fancy work this
season is button coverings. Buttons
are in evidence everywhere, and the
woman who aims at distinctiveness
makes her own.
Sometimes she crochets the tops in
fine Irish crochet, again she embroid-
ers bits of silk, satin or velvet in
heraldic designs, in gold or silver
thread
One girl made herself set of white
satin buttons in several sizes, with
her crest done in silver and old blues
in the center of each one. The re-
suits were charming. if the good taste
could be questioned.
Other attractive buttons are in

these the mold is first covered in silk.

to cows milk as diet for infants and
as an ideal monodiet for adults in
severe stomach and bowel troubles.
A certain amount Of fat is necessary
to the best conditions for normal
nutrition, and fat is about 2h times
more valuable as heat and energy
producer than other forms of carbon;
and of the fats, butter is the most
easily assimilated, except peanut and
olive oil. But emulsified as the fat is
in milk, 1t is much more easily assimi-
lated than as butter. For this reason,
and for others, the new way of making
-buttermilk gives much more nutri-
tious product and more digestfble, es-
pecially for the infant.
Cows milk cannot be made identical
with the Infants natural food, but it
can be approximated to it. The chief
difficulty to be overcome is to adapt
the large curds that tend to remain In
the stomach longer than they should,
as the development of the calf's stom-
ach requires that its food shall have
a much heavier curd than that re-
quired by the infant in which intes-
tinal digestion is more important. The
use of buttermilk tablets obviates this
difficulty, besides overcoming other
objections to the use of cows milk.
But the objection naturally arises
that soured milk u not natural The
reply IL that cows milk is-not natural
Certainly tests of buttermilk have
proved 1t verv satisfactory.

bones of two women, VINO, judging
from the size of the craft and its APP

vessel, which is seventy feet long and
sixteen and half feet broad, was
dug out of tumulus two and half
miles from shore, on the farm of
Oseberg, near Tonsberg. The treas

period, probably hundreds of years

the mortuaRy chamber of many of
the curious relics undoubtedly de-

parts of the ship, which had appar-

THE SACRED GOOSE.
Figures of Fowl Indispensable at
Chinese Wedding.

Flights of wild geese are reported
from the Eastern counties in number
beyond all precedent, a result of sud-
den chill lately, and their appetite
after the journey is so keen that some
of the best grazing marshes are
threatened with ruin; nevertheless,
we learn many farmers decline to kill
birds which they think almost
sacred"
1t was ]. G. Frazer, of the Golden
Bough, who suggested that the rev.
erence felt for various creatures in
various parts of the world is sur
vival of totemism. Plenty of evil
dence has accumulated since then
Caesar mentions, as schoolboys recol-
lect, that the inhabitants of Britain
might not eat the hare, the cock and
the goose. In the second case the
superstition is quite lost probably,
but legendary records keep the men,
DRY of it in Ireland. But of the
other examples enough can be found
even at the present day. There is a
"Goose Fair" at Great Crosby, in
Lancashire, so called apparently be-
cause goose as religiously forbidden,
1t is even asserted broadly that the
inhabitants think the goose "too
sacred" to eat-or did not so long
ago. The same feeling ruled in the
Hebrides and other parts of Scotland.
No one believes at the present day
that the Capitol was saved by geese or
any other means, but if the story is
not true it becomes all the more sig
| nificant in the folklorists point of
view, as showing that the bird was
| specially reverenced in the primitive
! age of Rome. The Crusaders under
Walter the Penniless, 100000 souls,
as we are assured, piously followed a
goose and goat, marching in the
van, and terrible mess these holy
animals led them into. In Egypt the
goose was the emblem of Sch, father
to Osiris; a precious figure of it is
extant, inscribed: 1.-THE good Goose
greatly beloved"
1t was the national flag of Burma
and of Randy, Ceylon Wherever
Buddhism rules the goose is vener-
ated. Therefore it is leading motif
in the art of Japan, and a symbol of
peace and happiness in China. Fig
ures of geese are as indispensable at
Chinese wedding as is bride cake with
us. In both countries, as also in Bur-
ma and Siam, weights are made in
the shape of goose as token of
good faith, though the connection is
not obvious; but in ancient Egypt
the same custom ruled, and Layard
found goose weights among his first
discoveries at Nineveh. A row of
gigantic geese surrounds the great
Buddhist temple Of Anajapoo.a. The
devout cherish a fond fancy that all
geese perform an aerial pilgrimage
to the hottest of lakes in the Hima-
layas every year, transporting the
sins of the neighborhood; returning
with new stock of inspiration for
the encouragement of local piety.-
