WM fahWTMible to mai presents of
tuttons a bid a a crown piece, on
which alloKorlcs and various subjects
,.re carved. Bachoumont writes in
1,1 "8eret Members" November 18,
mTfl- "The mania for buttons Is to
day extremely rKHoulotis. They are
; nniv of enormous slee, some of
L b!s na uli-Dound crowns, but
miniatures end ptennro. arc made up
on them and ornamentation 1s ex
tremely costly. Bonie of them repre
sent the medals of the twelve Caesars,
others antique statues, and still others
the MelamorplKwei of Ovid."
Isabey, n his biographical notes,
kits that when he came to Purls he
worked for a living by making copies
of Vauloos and Bouchers on the lids
of miuIT boxes, and that for theso
medallions he was paid from 6 to 8
francs each. "As h was atlll the
fashion," he said, "to wear buttons as
dig as a nve-fmns piece, upon which
cupld's flowers and landscapes were
rut in cameo, I went Into that busi
ness. I got 12 sols for each."
Two years after this period In tho
life of Bachnuniont buttons abandon
ed erudition to tajie up edileshtp. All
he tine monuments of Paris were
rarved on them. Then cune tho
patriotic buttons, representing the
;ni .if the Bastlle. the emblem of
the three oTdera, the Vhryglau cap, the
ortra1U of Louis XVI.. of Mlrahcau.
Shortly nfterward these ornaments
were laid aide. The relu;n or tne artis
tic burton wua over, ami the mother of
pearl button became general.
The oWust buttons at present in the
museums and among the collections
are the Bold buttons discovered at
Mvcenae. at the time of thecava
ttons undertaken by Dr. Schlleman,
and also thofe found In the 4nb of
Chllderlc 1. The latter woro ehttltod
at the Louvre in the Mueea des Souv
trolns. They are made of gold and of
colored gluxs, imitating game. Buttons
detsohed from copes and religious gar
ments of the mlddlo age aowl of tho
Renaissance have also beoa discovered.
But the rlcheet thinga of tho kind,
btyond a doubt, are those that were
worn by Louis XIV. M. Maae-Sencled

I encountered the strareest man
I ever knew while 1 was doing some
government work in Missouri," said
the retired contractor. lie was
smart enough, so jolly that every one
liked him, and apparently in the best
of health. But he made a few bad
deals, had to mortgage some of his
property and just seemed to throw up
his hands. lie vowed that he had
ceased to be his own man and would
drift along till he found out what the
world wanted to do with him.
"He never tred to dispose of any
of his possessions by auction or private
sale, but nearly every day held a raffle,
at which the chief attractions were his
jokes and odd sayings. All this lime
he was not trying to earn a dollar, and
in a year or so it was thought that he
had come to the end of his string.
" When he disposed of the family
clock and there seemed to be nothing
left, he cooly announced that the next
day he would raffle himself. He did
not know whether the boys would care
to buy chances, but he meant business
and would faithfully for the man who
drew him. Tickets sold for good fig
ures, but there were two left, and he
laughingly said that he would take a
couple shots at himself. When the
drawing came off, he held tne iuckv
number.
" Well sir, the fellow turned loose
and went to making money hand over
hand. He became one of the great-
est rustlers in the west, paid off the
mortgages, bought everything there
was money in, and is as rich now as a
river bottom larm. When he drew
himself at that raffle, he made up his
mind that he was his own man again,
and besides he had agreed to do his
best for the winner. It was a strange
case." Detroit Free Press.
Buildiug Corucribs,
Building corncribs is now in order,
and a leaf from the experience of a
farmer who has built many cribs may
prove of value. A correspondent of
Prairie Farmer says : A crib should
be at least a foot from the ground, so
the cats can have a chance to get at
the rats and mice. Whether you keep
dogs and cats or not, the vermin will
not trouble half as bad if the crib sets
well up from the ground. If you build
a crib, be thorough as far as you go.
You may not build expensive ones
unless you choose, but they must be
solid to be durab'e. A corncrib must
have some kind of a foundation that
will not settle. Then put on three 6
by 6 sills lengthwise. On these lay
a by 6 floor sleepers two feet apart.
For studding use nothing less than 2
by 6, Iwo feet apart. These must be
wired. Put the wires on loose and
the corn will tighten them all right.
The studding should be io feet on
the low side and 1 2 on the other will
be right unless you are building a
double crib. In a moist country a
crib 8 feet wide is right. Here we
have them io or 12 wide. Have the
rafters 2 by 4 and cover with boards.
There is no need of shingles or bat
tings for ear corn in this part of the
country.

Uncle Sam destroys a million dollars
deliberately tears up and grinds to
pulp one million dollars' worth of
paper money genuine bank notes
and greenbacks," writes Clifford
Howard in the September Ladies
Home Journal. "A million dollars in
one, two, five, ten, twenty, fifty, one
hundred, and one-thousand-dollar
notes are daily punched full of holes,
cut into halves and thrown into a
machine that rapidly reduces them to
a mass of mushy substance.
'Whenever a piece of paper money
becomes soileii or torn it may be pre
sented to the United States Treasury
and redeemed. Sooner ot later every
note that circulates among the people
becomes unfit for fuither service, lor
it is bound to become dirty or muti
lated by constant handling, and the
United States Government stands
ready to give the holder of such a note
a new note in exchange for it ; or, in
other words, the Government will re
deem it.
"The majority of the clerks employ
er! in this imuortant department of the
Government are women, many of
whom are the most expert money
counters and counterfeit detectors in
the world. In lact, only experts can
properly perform the work that is re
quired i for not only must the soiled
and mutilated money be accurately
and rapidly counted, but all counter
feit notes must be detected and thrown
out. When we consider that some
counterfeiters can so cleverly imitate
genuine money tnat ineir spmiwu
notes will circulate through the country
without detection, and are not ais;
Blaine's Generosity.
A good story of James G. Blaine is
told by a writer in the St. Louis Globe
Democrat. The incident related was
a magnanimous and clever act of the
Maine statesman, when, as speaker of
the house, he got through a resolution
appropriating $1 2,000 to the needy
widowed daughter of President
Zachary Taylor. This lady got as
far as Washington on her way to
Paris to see a sick daughter, and, be
inir destitute of money, appealed to
her only friend at the capital, General
Sherman. His purse was always open
to the distressed, but he had no funds
at all adequate to relieve her necessi
ties. In this emergency he thought
of Blaine. The man from Maine en
tered into the spirit of the occasion
as soon as he heard General Sher
man's statement. He called another
to the chair and made a five minutes'
speech that fairly electrified the house,
which passed the resolution Blaine
had penned only a moment Detore.
He took the resoluf.on in person 10
the senate, where it was also immedi
ately passed, had the president to
sign it the next day, and on the
following day the beneficiary got the
money. General Sherman always in
sisted that Blaine would have made
the grandest actor that ever lived,
and in adapting his career to politics
he robbed the stage of a born star.

What Is a Tinanoier?
It is commonly understood that a
financier is a man who is at the head
of some great banking institution, or
other enterprise in which money is
handled by carload lots. This defi
nition is not as comprehensive as it
should be, says the Financial Chron
icle. A financier is a person (not neces
sarily a man) who knows '.hat tne
amount paid for board must be sub
tracted from the gross income receiv
ed, and that the further expenditure
of money for clothes, etc., must also
come out of the gross earnings, and
from nowhere else.
A man is a financier when he is
able to figure out the fact that every
dollar he spends for rum takes a dollar
from the support of his wife and
fnmilv.
A man is a financier when he dis
covers that his employer gives the
preference to clean, honest, healthy,
sober men.
A man is a financier when he dis
that he can succeed by attend
ing strictly to the business he is hired
to do than by trying to bulldoze his
employer into doing that wnicn may
