o-day. August 10, the hist ,rical town of Stonfngton celebrates the q6th anniversary of the war of 1872. when the British fleet caused much excite ment and alarm to the townspeorle.
 On the afternoon of August !. at about 5RO'clock. the fleet came in be- tween Fishers Island and the main land and anchored only a few miles away. It seemed as though the old town was too small a village to be attacked by such a formidable fleet Consisting of four ships, viz: Rannil- lies, Pactolus, Brig, Dispatch and bomb ship Terror, with a large num- Der of barges and launches contlii.- Ing about 1,500 men. They ceme in shore as near as the water would allow Commodore Hardy. the com n1ander, sent note to the Stoning- ton people saying he would give them one hour to move out of town not wishing to destroy the unoffending In- habitants- This note was read hy Capt Amos Palmer, chairman of the committee of defense. When he read t to the people, who were assembled. they declared they would defend the place or perish in it's ruins This loyalty was displayed withH only three cannon. one being a six-pounti- er and the others ? Is pounders. t:l dozen rounds of ammunition not eaoush for an hours fight, and 70 drafted men stationed here by mili- tary authority of the state under command of Lieut. Hough, with four regiments near at hand that could bs assembled, if given time. There was but one ready, and that com manded by Col. William Randall
 The women and children were sent out of town and then provisions were concealed in secret cupboards and in the ground.
 The men were distributing what musketry they had about the shore. The bombardment of the village be- gan about D. m- The British they intended to burn the place, and men were stationed all around 10 tut out the kindled fires. The shells aud rockets were kept whizzing until
 During the evening of the 10th boat with flag of truce passed be- tween the British and the Borough but nothing was accomplished. The esnase done by the townspeopIe re- suited in tearing to pieces one of the barges, disabling others and killing many Engfishmen.

When Buttons Were First In
vented.

THE following Is the story of the but
ton and buttonhole, which shows
that not many centuries ago people ell
Their had to pin or tie their garments to-
gether:
The Elixabethan era gave vogue to the
button and buttonhole. two Inventions
which may fairly be regarded as impor-
ant, since they did much to revolutionize
dress. The original button was wholly
q product OF needlework. which was soon
improved by the use OF a wooden mold
The brass button is said to have been In
troduced by q Birmingham merchant in
1880. It took 200 years to improve on
the method Of sewing the cloth upon the
covered button. Then an ingenious Dane
hit upon the idea Of making the button
in two parts and clampine them togeth-
er with the cloth between. The most i'm
portant branch Of the button industry in
the United States Is the making Of pearl
buttons, the material for which Is OBJ
tanned from shells gathered along the
Mississippi river. The industry has grown
up within the last fifteen years. Its in
PRODUCTION was due to q native Of Ger
many, who learned the trade abroad.
He saw that millions Of dollars were go
ing to waste In tho shells known as
.nirrer heads Of which tons were piled
ND on the banks Of the river. Thousands
of people are now employed In turning
these shells into buttons. the small man
ufactorfes being found all tho way from
Minnesota to Missouri.

What the Ducks Learn.
THERE are often great floods alo,

THERE are often great floods along
the river. so little food can be grown
in the lowlands Of Hankow. The China
men there. with their long pigtails. usu-
ally fish for their living or often raise
ducks on the marshy land. As the pa
tient Chinaman often has hundreds or
perhaps thousands OF ducks to care for,
he learns to use great skill In managing
the waddling creatures The duck farmer
has a shed built near the river so that
his birds may be sheltered at night. Lest
any harm should befall them, he pays
some one to watch the place of the sleep
ing ducks.
Every morning very early out waddle
the clumsy creatures, for they hurry to
the river to feed upon the worms and in
sects. They paddle along the shore or
swim in the muddy water all day, but
as soon as the sun sinks in the west
they start home. You would laugh to
see them scrambling from all directions
in their hurry to get into their shed. The
Chinaman who sits by the door with his
long cane knows the cause of the rush.
How he laughs! Finally the last duck
goes through the gate. Upon 1t falls the
stick. Never again will that duck be
tardy. for 1t knows what punishment
awaits the last one IN. In this way the
Chinaman teaches his birds to be pune
tual.
When the farmer takes his flock to
market he rides in a boat, driving the
ducks before him. II duck swims away
from the path IL is overtaken with
bamboo pole, which soon brings the
swimmer into his place. Ducks in Han
kow seem to learn q great deal from
their teachers.

Bald Eagles Family.

n r AND MRS. BALD EAGLE have
M lived for ten years on the high
ledge Of that rocky cliff above the
rushing river. Their nest was rather old
and patched. for 1t had been mended
every year since the wild birds had first
come to the cliff. Every year for the ten
years II had grown larger and larger, un-
til now It was as wide as q hunters out
stretched arms and one-half as deep as a
man is tall. Many other birds would
have built new nests, but as long as the
large frame sticks held the MOSES. weeds
and pieces Of sod firm, the eagles were
content with repairing their home every
spring.
The dull brown birds, with their white
heads and white tails. were busy creatures,
for Mrs. Eagle had laid three large white
eggs in the nest. To keep them warm
either she or Mr.. Eagle sat on the nest
during a whole long month. One Of the
eggs got broken, but when two baby
birds were Matched their parents were
very happy. They did not mind in the
least that their fiedglings were covered
their long legs and large bills gave them
awkward appearances. All day long the
hungry mouths Of the eagle babies were
open for the food their parents brought
to them. FISH, RABBITS, squirrels, chickens,
birds and even young goats were greedily
devoured by the family. When Mr..
Eagle went in search Of some delicacy
for his babies he would circle round high
in the air and then drop down suddenly
upon his prey. When his strong, sharp
claws once seized a victim, OF he would
60 straight home.
AS the eaglets grew stronger the old
birds taught them to fly from rock to
rock near their home. Each day the
Journeys were made longer and longer,
until soon the young eagles were able to
make long flights. When Mr.. and Mrs.
Eagle thought that their young ones
should care for themselves the parents
beat them away from the nest. At first
the bird children returned again and
again, for they grew homesick, sup.
pose At last they became tired of
being driven away from home, so they
started out in the world for themselves
Each took his own way and few of
never to return, but to find place to
start a new home
The old eagles enjoyed a free life for a
while, but the next year the birds became
lonesome, so Mrs. Eagle laid more eggs
and soon another family had to be fed
and taught to fly.
