branch of curiosities through his collec-
aicn cf buttons of liveries and of uni- forms. The buttons of the eighteenth century
bring high prices in the market at the present time. There are some,of them that Fragonard, we are told, decorated with his marvelous pencil. In his *‘™e it was fashionable to make presents of buttons as big as a crown piece, on which allegories and various subjects were carved.
Bachaumont writes in his ‘‘Secret Memoirs,’’ Noy. 18, 1786: ‘‘The mania for buttons is today extremely ridicu- lous. They are not only of enormous size, some of them as big as six pound crowns, but miniatures and pictures are made upon them, and this ornamenta- tion is extremely costly. Some of them represent the medals of the 12 Cesars, others antique statues and still others the Metamorphoses of Ovid.’’
Isabey, in his biographical notes, gays that when he came to Paris he worked for a living by making copies of Vanlocs and Bouchers on the lids of enuffboxes, and that for these medal- lions be was paid from 6 to 8 francs each. ‘‘ As it was still the fashion,’’ he @aid, ‘‘to wear buttons as big asa 5 franc piece, upon which Cupids, flowers and landscapes were cut in cameo, I went into that business. I got 12 sous for each.’’
Two years after this period in the life of Bachaumont buttons abandoned eruditiom to tuke up edileship. All the fine monuments of Paris were carved q@ them. Then came the patriotic but- tons, representing the taking of the Bas- tille, the emblem of the three orders, the Phrygian cap, the portraits of Louis XVI, of Mirabeau.
Shortly afterward these ornaments were laid aside. The reign of the ar- tistic batten was over, and the mother wf pearl button became general.
The eldest buttons at present in the awuseums and among the collections are the gold buttons discovered at Myceuw, at the time of the excavations undertak- en by De. HMemann, and also those found in the tomb of Childerio I. The Qatter were exhibited at the Louvre in the Musee des Souverains. They’ are made of gold and of colored glass, imi- tating garnet. Buttons detached from copes and religions garments of the middle ages and of the renaissance have aleo been discovered.
But the richest things of the kind, be- youd a doubt, are those that were worn by Louis XIV. M. Maze-Sencier, in the **Register of Diamonds and Presents to the King,’’ at present preserved in the ministry of foreign affairs, gives an offi- cial acevunt of the buttons of that pomp- ous sovereign. It is as follows:
“Feb. 8, 1685.—Montarcy presented
to the king 80 diamond buttons, valued
at 180,030 livres.
**May 7, 1685.—-Made and delivered by Sieur Bosc, 6 diamond buttons, 30,- Qv0 livres.
““July 26, 1685.—Handed over by Montarcy to the Marquis de Seignelay for the king 75 diamond buttons, 586,- 908 Jiyres.
o “tre. fT, 168i.-—Two diamond but tons, 67,866 livres. > *fAn ly. 4a +a0°
t0hs, 60, 666 ii vaes.
Des, 20, 1685.—Four diamond but- tohs, 63,775 livres.’’
Another item in the same year:
‘*July 26, 1685.—Furnished by Mon- tarcy for the king’s vest: Forty-eight gold buttons, each set with a diamond, and 06 clasps, 48 of which were com- posed of five diamonds each and 48 of one diamond each, 185,123 livres.
*‘£\so $84 clasps for the doublet of the king, 162 of which were formed of five diamonds each and 162 of one dia- mond each, 1,006,345 livres.
‘“‘In addition there were seven orna- mental clasps of three diamonds each, 201,270 livres.
‘*Sundry presents, clasps, 574,366 livres.’’
That foots up a total of about 8,000, 00@ livres for the buttons of the ‘‘Great Kiag"’ for the single yoar of 1685. The preceding year Louis XIV received a lot of buttons that were valued at 1,071,000 livres. In these enumerations there is po mention of the diamonds for the shoes, the garters, the cuffs and the hats of the monarch.
We are obliged to admit, with our coaté au@ overcoats garnished with mis- erable little cloth and bone affairs, we cat a peer figure in the fancy button business compared to the dudes of the days of Louis XIV.—Paris Figaro.

The district will be served by « well trained nurse who ts fit tocope with illness of every sort. She will know at once what she mavand may not dv in every case. She will not over-tep the line Letw-en the doctor’ and the nurse’s work. Hor “‘ho-- pital training” will not only bave given her avery varied and valuable experience, but will have taught her disc: plive and oar tion, and what may perhap- ve best deser: ed as the proper “‘tove” of uursing.
Another advantage ix that many cases which are at a distance from ho pitais can te treated under the care ot a trained nuree in therrown homes. And from the poor people’s point of view, sf a mother be

What additional liation bring?
Aifiliation to the Queen’s Irstitute gives the Local Association the right to apply fora trained Queen’ s Nurse as circum- stances may re quire.
In some casex tne In+titute has been able to contribute tothe funde of the lo- cality till the advantage of having a Queen’s Nurse have become wider known and appreciated.
What is the cost of a Quees's Nurce?
A Queen‘s Nurse, at enupplied and trained by the Inst tute, costa abut £60. To the Local Association which employ< her, the cost ef maintenance will be from £*0 to £90, which inclndes all expenses, salary, toard, lodging-, &e.
It is foand that o-e Queen’s Nurse is atoutenfficient for every 10, 000 of the in- habtants io a town.

“The minute he had gone we shut the docr, lit the gas, restored the silver to tie table and sat round as before, eujcying a quiet cigar. Presently there was a confused murmur along the pas- sage. It grew louder and louder, and in poured a truly motley throng, most- ly half dressed, consisting of the man- ager, two men in bare legs and slip- pers, and a Jady with a blanket, in the alarm of fear canght up, followed by our agonized friend, the waiter. One man was armed with a poker and the other carried a bronze statuette ready to hurl at thethief. As they entered we all sat back and Jocked at them in well feigued amazement, and ‘Toole said to the astonished and bewildered man- ager, ‘Do you always come in this way with your friends when a gentleman asks for his bill?’ ’’—London Telegraph.
THE MAKING OF POISON.
A Factory Where the Most Deadly Drugs Are Prepared.
In London isa strange establishment, behind a wilderness of warehouses and tumbledewn tenements, in a remote suburb, Ite massive gates are locked and jealously guarded. A visitor must not only be careful where he steps and re- frain from touching, he must also breathe with great cantion. One. of the terrible poisons manufactured here is pure anhydrous acid, a drug seldom seen outside a chemieal laboratory. This is the deadliest af all known poisons. The discoverer was stricken dead from inhaling ite fumes. From 8 to 5 per cent cf this chemica] added to 95 er 97 parts of water makes prussic acid. This diluted poison causes instant death, even when taken in minuts quantities.
Next to anhydrous acid, the worst poison the} make is cyanide of potas- sium. Last year they turmed out ever 1,000 tons of it. Five grains being a fatal dose, the annual output would be sufficient to kill 2,500,000 people. In the workroom, where men are gathered around a witch’s caldren ecpitaining over a hundred weight of molten eya- nide, a strange picture is presented. The seething mass of white hot liquid poison, with the lambent play of the furnace fires, the phantom faces of the workmen, enveloped in an uneanny looking glass mask, peering into tke heart of the dreadtul mixture through the thick atmosphere, are a terrible
of the finished product, looking like crystalized sugar, ‘‘gcod enough to eat,’’ one man is never allowed alone. For some inexplicable reason it exer- cises a strange fascination for the men who inhale its fumes. They are haunt- ed by a desire to eat it. But, knowing that satisfying the eraving means in- stant death, most, but net all, are able to resist it, Acide from this fesejpation it8 mai eet is not considered un.

His Bonus,
They were just closing up the real es- tate deal, and the man who always wanted sometbing thrown in to make a good barguin appezred to hesitate.
‘*What’ll you throw in?’’
“What’ll I what?’
‘‘What’ll you throw in asa sort of bonus ?’’
‘‘Oh, yes, yes, of course!’’ said the real estate map. ‘‘How stupid of me! Why, the fact is, in cur line of business we are not exactly in the habit of giving prizes, but, in this case, just to make it binding, I don't mind throwing in the back taxes.’’
‘*Now you're talking business!’’ ex- claimed the would be purchaser. ‘‘It al- ways pays for a man to stick out for his tights.’’

The Obliging Bankrupt.
Good comradeship may count for mach. No man ever typified this better than the Wall street broker who said to his friend the reporter: ‘‘I didn’t fail until after the evening papers went to press, so that you could have it all to yourself in the mornipg.

It was at a table d’hote dinner at a hill station in India that a very young officer just up from the plains found himself seated next to a lady whom he took for one of the grass widows com- mon in those parts. He made himself agreeable, but his neighbor seemed a good deal out of spirits, so he said sym- pathetically:
‘‘I suppose you can’t help thinking of your poor husband grilling down be- low?”’
But the lady was a real widow, and when he learned that he changed his seat.—London Vanity Fair.
