extensive Jt#il«rlJ» tiortooa,-particularly buttons, on Cliestnut »trea, declared that the oouoter over which ttyese little artlclea§rflfiafSt%k« tbe best placjMn the world to study same of tue iae*pll^ble ways of tbe gentler aex. 'Though buttons,* he said, 'go but short wav toward rendering tue lffe of man agreeable, yet to tbe opposite sex they seem to be neee»$ary to absolute felicity. If you would learu how they purchase these little articles, step this way.'

Babind a aoanter were four attend ante, all doing their utmost to answer a thousand questions, and wait upon at least a dozm customers, at the same time.

Tbe customers all wanted button?, all were in a hurry not one or them bad decided upon any particular style or pattern or price, and each and every dne expressed a desire to see the whole stock at onoe, and wondered how in the name of goodness they could not get a doz9n buttons or so Without waiting all day.

Tae way it is done is this: A lady rushed breathlessly ujS to tbe counter, and while waiting for the saleswoman, began to claw over every box witbin reaet£ to get an idea of tbe styles." Presently a young lady snatched an opportunity from a fat, fussy customer, to-fsk what she v\uuted. 'Thank goodness you have ootne at last,' said the purchaser. 'I hate been standing here an hour. I am in a very great hurry. Please show me some buttons.' 'What style?' inquired tbe attendant. •Let me see what you have.' 'Oil! This is your whole stock, is it?' 'Goodness 'gracious! Seventy-five styles!' •No. These are too large.' 'It's really too bad these are too small.' •Yes—some like that only more showy.' 'I can't understand it. I'm so easily pleased, too.' 'That's too high. Tbe idea! One a doz'«u.' 'Why really. SJ you did show me these before.' 'Well, I never. Did I say they were too small? Sol did.' 'Yep but I want something real showy.' 'You really confuse me wil.b so many patterns.'

About this time the fat, fussy customer glared at the saleswoman, who glided over to where she was digging down to the bottom of a large box. Too young lady. protested on her sacred word, for the fourth time she did not know bow many buttons were necessary for the front of a princesse wrapper for a

ouug lady of eighteen, very large ior

her vears.

Customer No. 2 discovers the absence of the saleswoman, and ejaculates: 'Well I never wonder when I am to bewailed on I declare, I will go right out.'

Tne attendant rushes back, excuses herself, and waits for tbo volley of questions. 'Show me something for a gros grain streot dress.' 'Oh, goodness, how horrid 1' •They are entirely too common.' 'Haven't you got something rather sort of—' 'There fs something I like in that box.' •To be sure. The ssmo as I saw. How

in the nkme or goodness don't

you «et new styles?' 'What a poor selection.' 'Rubber buttons, girl You are mad.' 'Oh, I did see these.' 'How much for this style?' •Ah, yes. I remember you did say one dollar a dozen.' •I want them for a gros grain street dross*' 'Thai is something like it. A leetle too largo, though.' 'Ah! Did I? So I did.'

The saleslady again steals over to the fat, fussy customer, wbo says she thinks she will wait until she can lind out whether she will require a dozen or eighteen..

Customer No. 2, with a tinge of asperity in her voice, remarks to the saleswoman, wbo has returned: •Show me those in that upper box.' '1* that really the style I detested?' •Ho it is.' •How much better they look)ina box.' 'Don't they?" •Hum.' •"Once more she clawed over the entire itock, remarked that New York was the only place to buy buttons, and said it was no matter, as she only wanted sis, and flounced out.

SINGULAR SUICIDES.

In tbe year 1500, William Dorriogton threw himself from the parapet of tbe Church of St.

Sepulchre, in London, leav

ing behird him a note stating as bis reason "that he wanted to go to the opera that nighi, but bad not money enough to purchase a ticket of add mission."

A farmer In Allendale, England, got a gun-barrel, loaded it and placed the stock end in a hot Are, and leaned his stomach against tbe other. The barrel soon became hot and exploded, killing the unfortunate wretch instantly.

A blacksmith in New Orleans, in 1841, killed himself in the same manner, blowing his bellows until tbe fire was hot enough to explode tbe gun-barrel.

A voting lady at a boarding-school in Engfand drowned herself in a rain cask because she was made to study from an old book. She was "sweet sixteen."

A Greenwich (En*.)penaioner, who was

Suctupon

ut a short allowance for misconin 1848, sharpened the ends of his spectacles, and with them (tabbed him self to the heart.

In a French newspaper of 1SG2 we find an account of a mau who, bis wife paving proved unfaithful to him, called his valet and informed him that he was about to kill himself, and requested that he. would boil him down and make a candle of his fat and carry It to bis mistrem, handing her at tbe same time tbe following note: "DKA&KST THKRWR: I

A young lady eighteen yeata of age, having gambled away a large fortune, hung herself a*. Bath, England, with a gold and silver girdle. The following note was found in her hand "Thus I tie myself up from play." This was worthy of a French woman.

HOW TO BECOME QIDDY. A true theorv of the cause of giddiness ought to explain the following extreme experience, which deserves record in print. The method was first told to me 3y a friend 1 onco tried it myself successfully in a mitigated form, and will assuredly not repeat the experiment, and I persuaded a philosophical friend to try it also, with much the same result. Stand in the middle of a soft field where you can't hurt younseir by tumbling on the ground or against anything avoid having your bost clothes on, and secure appreciative spectators. Then put both hands one above tbe other on the top of your umbrella or walking-stick, and bend down until vour forehead rests on the back of your hands. Thus your legs will be vertical, your body will be more or less horizontal, and tbe umbrella will be vertical. Shot your eyes. Then get a friend, by touching your hlpe,

guide you tbat you shall circle three times, with a sidelong gait, round the vertical umbrella as an axis. Finally, raise your head quiekly, and try to walk straight, as though nothing particular bad happened. What will occur is a frightful giddiness and feeling of sickness, a sense of the ground rising up tumutinously on all sides, a wild rush to save yourself and a headlong tumble.

"GR*AT ceremonies are neeessary," says the Railway News, "to get a train orf in Germany. When all is ready a bell rings. Then another bell rings. Then tbe engine whistles, or rather toot-toot-toots gently. Then the oonduotor tells tbe station master tbat all is ready. Then the station master looks placidly around and says 'So?' Then the conductor shouts 'Fertig interrogatively. Then the station master replies^Fertlg!' positively. Then tbe conductor blows a horn tbe engine whlst es tbe bell rings tbe other bell rings the station master says 'So ?'—tbe passengers swear in various tongues—ana tbe train starts. Tbat is unless there is a belated fat man —in which ease they do it all over again." "WHAT," the young man asked the young woman wbo was waiting for him to ask for his bat, "what do I put you in mind of?" "A French clock," she said, softly. And pretty soon be arose and went on bis way. The next morning be called upon an eminent borologist, and asked bim what was tbe distinguishing trait of a French clock. Tbe bororoglst said, "Why, it never goes." And the young man was sorely cast down, and he grieved, and told no man of his hart. —Burlington Hawkeye.
