ITEMS OF INFORMATION.
The Story of Buttons.

The Elizabethen era gave vogue
to the button and buttonhoIe, two
inventions which may fairly be re-
garded as important, since they did
much to revolutionize dress. The
original button was wholly a prod
uct of needlcwork, which was soon
improved by the use of a wooden
mould. The brass button is said to
have been introduced by Birmfng
ham merchant in 1889. 1t took two
hundred years to improve on the
method of sewing the cloth upon
the covered button. Then an in
genious Dane hit upon the idea of
making the button in two parts,
and clamping them together with
the cloth between.
The most important branch of the
button industry in the United
States is the making of pearl but
tons, the material for which is OBJ
tanned from shells gathered along
the Mississippi River. The industry
has grown up within the last fifteen
years or so. It's introduction was
due entirely to a native of Germany,
who learned the trade abroad. He
saw that millions of dollars were
going to waste in the shells known
as nigger-heads," of which tons
were piled up on the banks Of the
river.

ON BIRDS.

AS to Birds, we see a Surprising
imitation of reason in several ami
mails, but it nowhere appears in a
more sensible manner than in the
industry of these creatures building
their nests. What master has
taught them that they have need of
them? Who has told them how they
should build them? What architect
has taught them to build a solid
foundation? What tender mother
has advised them to cover the bot
tom win soft and delicate sub
stance? Who has suggested to- them
that ingenious charity which leads

sibLe 1.-TWO things rule, and saving
work and expense thereby. The hos
tess may serve sandwiches and cot
fee, cake and coffee, waters and
chocolate. or dOughnuts and cocoa
any good 1.-Two" combination, but
nothing else. If she elects to have
cake and ice-cream, for example, she
must serve water instead of coffee.
For winter, sandwiches with cof-
fee may be considered the best re-
freshments in the country, since they
are wholesome and dainty without
being heavy enough to spoil the APP
petite for the evening meal. For a
very cold day, chocolate is even bet
ter than coffee, as chocolate is both
food and drink.
The filling for the sandwiches may
be jam, cheese, meat, nuts, sardines,
or just plain butter. Anything bet
ter than bread-and-bu tted sand
witches made from country bread cut
thin, and sweet butter not too thin,
and good hot chocolate, it would be
hard to find One hostess always
serves bread-andbutter sandwiches
and scalloped oysters on cold days,
and the combination is delicious.
ANY kind of fresh cake or fruit
cake may be used if sweet refresh
ments are desired, and the cake may
be elaborate or plain. Good old
fashioned cookies are always rel
ished, particularly if they have nuts
or raisins in them, and doughnuts
are almost the best things on the
sweet list. Perhaps cake is the
easiest thing Of all to serve, since it
may be made~the day before, while
sandwiches should be fresh.
One hostess served beef broth in
large, fashioned coffee-cups, with
waters; the broth was we'll seasoned
and very hot, and on the cold day it
was delicious. Another woman
served steaming baked beans with
bread-and-butter sandwiches, and
still another had sauerkraut and
winerwurst when the club program
was on Germany. All sorts of sim
pie, good dishes may be served, and
there is really no limit to the va
riety the farm affords. Nut candies,
stuffed oates, sliced oranges, water
ices, and many other things are not
too much trouble if made in advance,
but the rule Of two should be fol-
lowed strictly. If the afternoons
degenerate into mere feasts, there
are sure to be tired hostesses and
envious or discouraged guests

will tell all OF you my expert
ence in canning. [ was not very
successful in keeping tomatoes until
I commenced to use quart bottles,
I have put up twenty quarts this
season and have not lost single
one. Will explain my modus oper-
andi: Peel tomatoes, cut up rather
small, and cook until you can easily
punch them through a funnel; scald
the bottles thoroughly and let stay
on stove while filling; have a small
round stick fat at the end and as
long or longer than the bottle, and
when you have pushed the tomatoes
through the funnel until bottle is
full, run the stick to bottom of bot
tie and stir to exclude all the air;
then Fill bottle to oyerfowing. Have
your shoppers on the stove in hot
melted wax; push stopper in tight,
and if it pushes cut take end of
stick and hold it down until it will
stay; then dip a small piece Of thin
cloth in the wax and put over the
stopper and mouth of bottle, and
assure you they will keep.

CALLS FOR EXHIBITS
 FOR COUNTY FAIR
County Agricultural Agent Sends Let terS to Demonstrators Ask
 ing For Exhibits.

J. E. Rogers. county agricultural agent, has returned from Conway where he acted as one of the judges of agricultural products in the FaulE- ner County Fair.
 Mr. Rogers was busy yesterday is suing letters to other demonstrators and co-operators urging them to prepare and bring their best exhibits to the Jefferson county agricultural show which will be held in conjunc- tion with the live stock and state poultry show this month.
 Many objections have Teen raised by prospective exhibitors to the ruling printed in the Jefferson county fair catalog, to the effect that all prize winning exhibits would become the property of the fair, and Mr Rogers stated yesterday that exceptions to this rule would be made. The pri- mary object of the rule was to obtain a handsome array of specimens for eX- hibition at the state fair 10 be held at Hot Springs.

 The result of such methods, said Mr Mobley, is that many fruit grow CTS are cutting out their orchards and turning their attention to forage crops CT the raising of stock, which have a more fixed and permanent value.

 Tn discussing the large crop of fruits and perishable vegetables pro- dueed in the Northwestern part of the state this year, Mr. Mobley point ed out the fact that unless the peo- pie in the city co-operate and assist the farmers in marketing fruit and vegetables the raising of these pro- ducts will come to be an unsafe occu- patton.
