BUTTONS ONCE HAD PURPOSE
In Old Times There Was Good Rea.
son for the Present Merely "Or-
namental" Appendages.

A well-known speaker recently en-
gagged in some captious remarks at a
gathering Of women, upon the frivoli-
ties of fashion particularly as con
cerned women's dress. He was get
ting considerable fun out Of 1t until
one Of the ladies interrupted him and
asked what the buttons on the back
OF his coat were for. They are clearly
superfiuous and just as much out Of
place as some Of the feminine foibles
he was criticizing. He was unable to
answer the question, whereupon the
laugh was on him. The useless and
supposedly ornamental extra buttons
on a mans dress coat are relics of
horseback riding days, when 1t was
customary to button up the skirts OF
the coat to prevent sitting upon them
or getting the Innings soiled from the
horse. The slit up the back of the coat
originally served the same good pur-
pose. The buttons on the sleeves are
inherited from the days when a really
dashing blade had frequent necessity
for turning up the sleeves Of his coat
to give his sword-arm play. Then the
buttons served real need. Finally
the turned-up sleeve and It's lining be-
came a cuff that could no longer be
turned down and the buttons became
merely traditional.

NOT LEARNED FROM SARACENS
New Version of the Invention Of tho
Rosary Found In Pages Of An
Client Historian.

Catholic authorities have attributed
the invention Of the rosary to st. Dom
inic. founder of the famous Dominican
order But evidence of a still earlier
origin of the rosary has come to light.
1t Is related of Lady Godiva by VIII
liam of Malmesbury that she be-
queathed to the monastery Of Gov
entry "a circlet Of gems, which she
had threaded on a string, In order that
by lingering them one by one, as she
successfully rscited her prayers, she
might not fall short Of the exact num-
ber."
"This, If authentic" says Cornelius
81. Patton, In Asia Magazine, us In.
teresting as disposing Of the theory,
often held, that the Roman Catholics
of Europe learned the use Of the rosary
from the Saracens at the time Of the
Crusades. Lady Godiva must have
passed from the scene several years
before Godfrey led his conqusring host
into Asia Minor and Palestine. More
recent Catholic authorities call atten'
ton to the fact that, although the Ro-
man Catholic rosary In it's present
standard form Of 165 beads, divided
into mysteries" or decades, Is Domint
can, the followers Of St. Dominic O6
not become interested In the rosary
until the closing years Of the Fifteenth
century-Detroit News.

But one day Sonny fell down and

When Sonny went out the next day

CHEAT VICTORY FOR SCIENCE {
Cure of insanity One of the Most Su-
preme Blessings Bestowed on
Human Race.

Insanity is no longer considered
hopeless in most cases. The hospitals
are curing great numbers of patients
through scientific treatment Physical
infections have been found to be the
cause of many mental cases and even
where the cause is purely mental,
specialists are making rapid progress
in restoring the diseased minds.
The reclaimlng of a lost mind is
perhaps the greatest blessing science
can bestow. An eye a lung, a leg or
an arm may be taken away, yet there
always remains that handful of gray
substance which can comprehend and
direct the world. But when the mind
is gone, everything is gone, as far as
the unfortunate individual is con
cerned
The attitude toward lunatics of saw
age or semi-savage peoples Is rather
odd, when one considers that nssim-
beetle is always more or less Of Il
nuisance and that savages, by natural
inclination, make short shrift of all
obstacles in the way of their comfort
and happiness. Almost invariably saw
age tribes believe that their demented
members are possessed of a super
natural presence, and treat them kind
ly and well.
The treatment of those mentally de-
ficient by modern civilized people has
been sometimes cruel and, until lately
nearly always unwise.-Jacksonville
Journal.

OF Burne-Jones.

When l do see him, it is one Of the
best human pleasure that London has
for me. But / don't understand his
life-that is the manner and tenor Of
his production-a complete studio ex-
istence, with doors and windows
closed, and no search for impressions
outside-no open air, no real day
light, and no looking out for It, The
things he does in these conditions have
exceeding beauty-but they seem to
me to grow colder and coldeT-pic-
tured distractions, less and less OBJ
served. Such as he is however, he Is
certainly the most distinguished ar
tistic figure among Englishmen today
the only one who has escaped vul-
garization and on whom claptrap has
no hold.-Henry James

PASSENGERS Had Plenty to Eat.

Describing old stage coach days be-
tween New York and Albany, Sarah
Comstock writes in Harper's: Steak,
fish or eggs were served at the best
taverns for breakfast, with cakes, tea
or coffee. At two or three o'clock
every one gathered at general table
for substantial dinner of many
boiled dishes and great amount of
meat.
"At seven o'clock came a sturdy
supper. Brandy, hollands and other
spirits were furnished at dinner and
a vast variety of other beverages
might be ordered, from 'kill-devir of
early fame to the small drinks SO
popular to quench an honest thirst,
not to heat the BRAIN
New York state was famous for
it's cider and the many other drinks
made from it's potent apple. Kahn,
in 17S9 saw the horse press In use In

in Wisconsin, and surprising as it
may seem, they have not single man
putting in even one-tenth of his time
on the serious problems of appren-
ticeship which face them"
After suggesting that the builders
employ an expert to handle this
phase of the industry, the Wisconsin
Apprentice makes this significant
statement:
"He (the expert) must first of all
get every master builder who is in a
position to train boys into the frame
of mind to want apprentices. Then
would come his biggest job, which
would be to assure every apprentice
within his jurisdiction real opportu-
nifty to learn the trade"

TRADES COUNCIL
LAUNCHES DRIVE
For Individual Cash Sub
scriptiOns to Assist Labor
Temple - Money Needed
For Recent Additions.

At the meeting of the Trades and
Labor Council last Wednesday night,
the trustees made their quarterly re-
port of receipts and expenditures of
the council and the labor temple. The
report showed that the council is in
need of some ready cash to pay bills
which are due. These bills are mostly
for the rccfing of the new auditorium,
plumbing, painting, etc.
President Peter Schmidt told the
council that at the last meeting of
the house committee, that body re-
commended that the council take up
the matter of issuing appeals to all
trades unionists for an individual
donation. After some debate on the
question the delegates voted solidly
that the recommendation of the house
committee be concurred in.
A committee consisting of Peter
ocHilltl, Leu OHllIH, EuW. Dulll, dleIl
Thompson and Chas. Elble was ap-
pointed to visit the affiliated locals
with petitions and lay the PROPOSE
tion before their members. A petition
was placed on the presidents desk
and before the council adjourned
about forty dollars had been subscrib-
ed. The names of every person do
mating will be published along with
the amount subscribed.
The committee visiting the locals
will be in position to give the mem
bership all the information necessary
concerning the drive.
