was found behind a smoke house, busily
digging in the ground with a mail spade,
though only 5 years OF age, and he said:
"Tm too busy 20 talk. I'm planting an

a tiny Seeding apple tree, a small cotton
wood and a little elm.

TIE BUTTON BOX OF OLD.
A, institution Contempornneous with
the Old Oaken Bucket.


81 suppose" said Mr.. Biltops. that
a hutton box Of the old original sort
would now be considered as more or less
of a rarity, for I am told that such box
es are never to be seen in the homes of
the new generation.
'There was a time when you found a
rea, button box In every home. ana in
II buttons in countless numbers and
endless variety; n box that you could
turn to with pretty nearly complete con
fidence in any button emergency.
"The old time button box owed Its
origin TO tho then governing spirit Of
economy and also to the different GUS
toms as to peoples clothes that then
prevailed In those days very many. It
might he all. OF the garments worn by
all the members Of the household were
made Mt home. and many of these gar
ments, when they got too small for one
member. were made over for another,
am when the time came, n It ever did,
when n garment was considered to be
fairly worn out II was not even then
thrown away: hut tho buttons were cut
off It and saved IN the button box,
while the garment itself was put into one
or other of the rag bags to be sold az
rags
80 In those DAYS buttons were always
we'd: and when piece Of cashmere
WIS bought for new pair OF trousers,
or cotton md linen for new shirts, they
didn't have to buy any buttons, they
went 70 the button bag for them. But
tons accumulated from other sources,
too.
Even In those days they did some
h,,v c1o
entire. and when they were worn out
tn buttons from them too. as from the
homo made clothes. were cut off and put
in the box: and so what with the but
tons cut from all sorts Of garments the
store Of buttons increased In many a
button box of that time, as you might
find IN some old boxes still remaining.
you would find buttons numbering thou
sands.
Then. once in n while the housewife
would go over the button box and sort
out the buttons. with view TO throwing
away any that had become positively oh
solete. archaic. remotely ancient in style.
but the old saving spirit would still pos
sess her. She hated to throw anything
away; and mighty few Of the old buttons
would she thus dispose Of and then
when she wanted button she would
have to paw over and paw many to find
what she wanted But you would find
tin the button box.
Now when garments factory made by
modern machinery are universally worn,
when garments can be bought complete
cheaper than they can be made at home,
only valuable buttons are saved; the
rest are thrown away with the gar
ments: and the need for the button
box Of other days has passed. and such
old button boxes as still remain are pass
ing, and passing rapidly; they are be-
coming more and more rare.
The day may come when one Of these
old boxes will be unearthed to be look
ed upon with great curiosity: it's con-
tents to be regarded then not simply as
buttons in one of those OLD time house
hould button boxes once so common. hut
as the strange collection OF a queer col
