When Buttons Were Unknown.

How did the world manage for cen
turtles without buttons? In early ages
they were unknown. The vouminous
garments of oriental races are still at
tached to their wearers by means of
straps, as were those of the Greeks and
Romans. The Normans were respon
sible for the invention. The etymology
Of the word points to the derivation of
the idea. Bout, an end or extremity,
and bouter. to push, show that the
button was originally a push piece. like
the buttons Of our modern electric
bells The Normans probably conceiv
ed the idea from the rough knots Of
their furniture. on which most likely
they hung their garments. Once in
troduced. buttons came rapidly into
common use.

Curious Story of a Specter and the
Lonely Yorkshire Moors.

Curious Story of a Specter and the
Lonely Yorkshire Moors.
1t is. not often that we hear of
ghost, saving a mans life. There is,
however. an instance, and it seems to
be tolerably we'll authenticated. and
materialists will hardly know how to
account for it, Here is the story. 1t
is of the Yorkshire dales and of good
many years ago.
A clergyman whose duty lay in that
wild country. where a strong race of
men and women lived principally on
bacon and oatcake, used to ride or
walk to visit the people. He had been
raising a subscription in a time of
,carcity and had to be out late at night.
One evening on his outward journey
he suddenly became aware of q figure
moving beside him, and in the gloam-
ing he recognized his brother, who had
died some time before He was too
awestruck for words, and after keep
ing by his side for some distance over
the lonely moor the figure disappear
ed. He noted the time and the vision,
but nothing occurred to throw any light
upon it.
However, some years after he had
taken the duty at Jail in another part
Of the country one of the prisoners ly-
ing under sentence desired to make
confession. After telling him of a lot
of crimes he said: 81 wor very near
once taking your life. sir. 1t was in
that bad year, and I heerd as how you
went carrying money about in those
lonesome dales. I hid behind the big
powders of the brown moor. 1 saw
you coming up and waited till you
should be near enough, but that night
you were not alone"
This is a startling tale. and the
stronger because the vision or what
ever it was was seen by two people.
The anecdote occurs in an article twen-
ty years ago in Macmillan's Magazine
by Lady Nerney.
