The word button iPrsnch boa ton, from boat, an cod or extremity, and boater, to posh or place), ia lea correctly applied to an appendage of dreas than to a tiny projection or collet intended to be prsaaod by the thumb or finger for a specific purpoae, at whioh the aptect Illustration la furnished by the terminal button of an electric ball. The idea of utilizing the bouton for hanging anything thereby, or fastening anythiug thereto, is of comparatively modern date in short, neither the term nor the article was known to the ancients. The dreai of the Greek* and Bomans needed not the presence of buttons, ample substitutes for which were found in the clasp. As evidence of this fact, it may be cited that among all the paintings and mosaics discovered in the rains of Pompeii, uo single illustration of the button has ever been brought to light Nor did the simple -costume of the Anglo-Saxons require those accessories, which nowadays we could ill afford to dispense with. "BUTTONS AIX OV*H

Previous to the Norman oonquest, then, buttons in this country were altogether unknown, so that here we have a distinct proof of our historical indebtednees to the French for all innovations of fashion in the matter of costume. The people of Normandy must •certainly have been of an inventive tarn of mind, or they would never have conceived the utility of buttons in relation to dress. Nothing in nature oould have suggested the button, unless, perhaps, it was that species of flower known as the "bachelor's button but this is scarcely probable. Rather let us say the suggestion came from the already familiar wooden knob or extremity known as the bout -or bouton of their early furniture. We know ourselves bow convenient it is to bang any articlo of drees upon a door or drawer handle, or even on the col lot of a bedpost, so there «xists no doubt that in this way it was how the Normans hit upon the idea of temporarily attaching one garment to another, until in course of time they dispensed with the an cient clasp altogether.

Once introduced, buttons soon came to be generally adopted by all classes, though no actual reference to them is to be traced in our literature prior to the early part of the Fourteenth century. The reign of Edward I, which ushered in tight fitting garment*, and particularly sleeves, afforded scope for an abundant display of buttons from tho wrist to the elbow, of both sexes, set as thickly as possible, as may bo seen in illuminations and upon effigies of this period. The writer of "The Romance of Sir Degrevant," for ex amplo, in describing tho costume of an earl's daughter, observes: "To tell her butenues was tooro," i. o., hard—to count her bottons would he difficult. Even tho servants of the timo became infectod with the craze. The habit of aping their masters in this particu lar in thus satirized by an old author:

Now tho horse tin were, clothed in prid, They busk tiiciu in buttons as it wero bride During tho reign of Edward III tho buttons feore set closo upon ono another down tho front of tho coat hardie (coat or tunic) of males and tho gown of females. In the next century, however, they suffered a considerable decline, iu consequence of the in trodurtion of Inces and points but, by the Sixteenth century, they recovered their ascendency to such a degree that not only did they appear in greater profusion and variety than before, but tho material of which they were composed included gold, silver and even diamonds.

MAIltCH Or DISTINCTION.

In tho twelfth year of Charles II buttons constituted tho chief imports of tho country, nnd wero subjected to a hoavy duty. Soon after this reign, however, gold and silver buttons degenerated into thorn of paste, which at tho same timo rivaled tho brilliancy of the most precious gems, whilo steel buttons of abnormal sise, highly polished, became the distinctive mark of the dandies who frequented tho Moll and Birdcage walk of St. lames' park in the days gone by. In proof of this, a popular caricature of the year 1777 has for its subject ono of these effeminate individuals dauliug a lady by tho brightness of hi» steel buttons

It is, perhaps, well for us that the prosaic ago in which we live affords littlo encouragement for eccentricity Ih regard to the wearing of buttons, whether in points of size or number. And yet tho button rago of the middle ages certainly found a revival between tho years 1873 and 1881, during which period tho Birmingham button manufacturers must have made their fortunes. Then it wait that tho buttons on a lady1!* costume resembled the stars iu the heavens, for there existed no possibility of counting them. There wero buttons on the back and buttons down the front buttons over the shoulders and buttons all the way down and across the skirts buttons on the pockets and buttons every where then were even buttons round the hat

In China tho highest grade of literary distinction is marked by a gold button affixed on ho cap of tho individual. The different grades of mandarins ore likewise da noted by tho color of the buttons which they are privileged to wear. So, also, in Europe a button on the front of the cap formerly represented a mark of civil honor. Thus Shakespeare make* Guiki eastern in "Hamlet" say:

On tortuae's cap wo are not the very button meaning not tho most highly favored. Again, George Oascoigne, in his "Woodmanship," makes a similar allusion to the courtly favor of one of his gallants:

GOOD READERS.

Some Sensible Suggestions for the Instruction of Old and Yeans. Everybody has theories of education nowadays, and the next generation or two ought to grow into a highly cultivated race, but the importance of making them good readers is hwing forgotten. We educate children for their future good we give them accomplishments to render them attractive and agreeable to the world of society to develop their minria for their own future enjoyment, and, first of all things, we teach them to read and spelL How many of them, grown into mm ami women, who would be ashamed to spell badly, are able to read one paragraph, selected at random, so that every word shall be pronounced correctly, every sentence given understandingly, every inflection properly marked, and the thought of the author instantly seised and perfectly expressed, while the voice, meantime, is so pleasantly modulated that the fact of the sound itself Is gratifying to the sense of hearing!

In the matter of pronunciation alone, few grown persons can do this. 1 do not speak whereof I know not. The thing was tried at a fashionable chit in the city. Ont of ten attempts to proaoonoe correctly all the words of a certain paragraph, none were successful, the president of the chit himself making thirteen mistakes, which was only about the average number.

Make the attempt, each one for himself, and see how many of the following words you pronounce, either as Webster or Worcester directs: Acclimated, cement, pronunciation, plebeian, precedence, finance, concave, concentrate, phial, fuchsia, vase, interest, etc. The pronunciation classes which have been the rage in the east have been a public benefit and a matter of pleasant interest. A few have been recently organized in Chicago with much success, and arrangements have boon effected for many more in the fall.

Everybody knows there are two ways of reading to one'sself, and that one of these Is as much a selfish benefit as reading aloud. This is with both eyes and lips in imagination, although no sound is produced, the formation of cach word on the lips is made and the attention, therefore, for the instant, so fixed upon it that its meaning is fully grasped. In the other way, there is such breathless interest in the facts narrated that there seems to be an overwhelming necessity to hurry on for information's sake, and the eyes alone turned automatically over the page, and an outline of meaning is grasped without an idea of the words and phraseology used to express it The habit of so reading, skim ming over things, produces in a very short time a poor memory. When everything is poured into the mind at such a rate that only a confused jumble is producod no wonder the memory breaks down.

There is but ono way to read seriously, im provingly and not for the sole purpose of passing away tho hours. Read and think at the same time. As each page is finished close the book or turn over tho paper, concentrate the attention and think over what has just been read. If you can put the thoughts into words and speak tbom aloud, two things are bound to result: Improvement of mind and improvement of memory. Pleasure thus becomes intellectually profitable. This should over be adopted in reading poetry, for the word painting hero is so beautifully varied that ofttimes tho meaning must be searched for seriously, ofttimes the style itself render* tho exquisite thought obscure. The practice of memorizing passages of poetry will soon become mere piny, if reading, good reading, is alwaysdono iu this way. Wo cannot train the body to our will unless we give it exer ciso nor can we expect different results in mind or memory, ,1

Tho power "of concentrated attention, it it claimed, is moro apparent iu man than in woman, and it cannot bo denied that this is the case. But the average man trains his mind to this end by hourly practice tho average womau, (wrhapx onco a month, attempts to concentrate her thoughts on one subject.

If iu theso days of culture we could all learn tho definition of reading and know exactly what tho phraa© means when tho word "reading" is qualified by tho adverb "well," it would bo of untold worth to us. A good memory is such a help to self coufklonoe, a good understanding to self improvement a good mind, well cultivated, such treasure. An individual possessing all three is a delight unto himself and to the world.—Chicago Herald.

The Difference.

A great many scientific men have described in stately phrfcao tho characteristic difference® between men and women. Mrs. Frank Leslie, in an article on "Women's Clothes," sums them up, however, in a very piquant and satisfactory fashion. She says: "A woman, if she were set down on an oasis in the Desert of Sahara, with not a caravan in sight, would peep into tho pool to see bow she looked, and would smooth and fluff her hair and pull her draperies into place before rite looked to see if there was anything to eat. A man would look first for something to eat, and next for something to kill, and he would not look into the pool at all except to drink."

There you have a pen picture of the marked peculiarities of the two animals.--New York a

Hew She Looks.

Grace Greenwood is one of the few woman who took like their pictures. Anybody who has ever seen a counterfeit presentment of the high, rather pointed forehead, the prominent nose, the strong, kindly mouth, the friendly eyes and tho heavy Mack hair drawn down almost to cover the tips of the ears, in the old fashion, would recognise the rather short figure and matronly proportions of the brilliant writer whose pen has not by any means lost its point and sparkle.

THE LONDON COSTER.

SOME OF THE LIGHT8 AND SHADES rr- OF HIS LIFE.

A Being PseoBar to peculiar to tondw Folk

Fwglsnd end Most gelllni ICetaWes Lon and Tradition.

13m eoatenoonger is a being peculiar to WngUnd and most peculiar to London. He is neither more nor less than a seller of eatables about the streets. Strictly in accordance with name, he should traffic only in appha, for "eoetard" is a sort of apple, and "monger" a trader, for the Saxon "mangian," to trade. Thus we have ironmonger, cheesemonger, fishmonger, etc., words used here to designate those pursuits. not cosnouioifazB'B VOCATIOW.

The custei monger sells all sorts and conditions of tilings—fruits, vegetables, fish, poultry, flowers and "green meat," as watercresses, chicken seed, groundsel and turf are called. There are in London, roughly computed, something like 40,000 street sellers, or hawkers of market produce. These are men, women and children. Oftbeee a large proportion are sellers of fruits, vegetables and flowers. Old Covent Garden market is crowded with them on market days, frequently as many as 8,000 being assembled at once in the gray morning hours, when the market practically extends clear around into the busy Strand, pest the world of newspaper offices and down to Charing Cross railway station. Here the traveler, embarking on an early train to Paris, may pause to purchase a pottle of fruit or a noeegay from some market wagon, whoee proprietor never hesitates to turn the honest English penny.

From 1 o'clock in the morning the market wagons have lieen toiling slowly into town from the adjoining rural countiee. A latehour has seen othw-s emptying their verdant freight into the market vans of the early trains into London. And again, even as the supply has been pat oat into the market on •ate, the people to be supplied have gathered their clani. FVr in nothing is that old saw so completely exemplified, namely, "The early bird catches the worm," as in the eagerness with which buyers, high and low, take up their places in order to compass an advan tageous barter. There are unwritten laws of "place courtesy" here, as well as elsewhere in the world's hive of human bees. Certain stands, selected by the coster, with his quaint donkey barrow, bo acquires aright to retain. This right is never disputed if he is "on time" at his post But a five minutes' laggard discovers a rival on his vantage ground. The utmost good nature prevails. Chaff is heard, and the coster would not hesitate to banter the Prince of Wales were he to pay an early market visit. Nor would such banter signify any want of respect to his royal highness. No, the only reason for the banter is that the market per se is the street mart for trader and buyer, and he thus is monarch on his own chosen ground, nor will be consent to be any respecter of persons there.

A QUEEN or THE COSTERS.

He has, by the way, certain folk lore and traditions. These are variously poetic. One is that he elects a queen of the costers. A year or two ago the recognized queen died, and as yet no one has been found a worthy successor to her. She was a woman with a romantic history. Very handsome of .face and figure in her early youth, in her age still strong and roughly grand of visage, and her wisdom was Minerva like. She was called the "virgin queen of the costers." In her massive grasp of subjects in general, 'the proved herself the Anna Dickinson of the slums. Her advice was sought by all herself elected subjects. Her charities were enormous, comparatively speaking. She died at the age of 80. By her will, which long before she had placed in charge of a well known London solicitor, all her mourners wore white. They received the funeral drees, nnd provision was made for a bountiful feast after the burying. Two hundred were thus provided for. The few hundreds of pounds she left were devoted, after tho outlay mentioned, to dividing up into small sums toward a Christmas dinner to each of the mourners. It was a strange, fantastic funeral. So great was the crowd gathered to look on at Highgate cemetery that the police wero kept within call to prevent any possible disorder or rows. But no disturbance occurred. Some of her sayings are very quaint It is said they are being collected into book form' by an eccentric enthusiast The costers, by her wish, attended her funeral on their donkey carts. She was not an ignorant woman and in her character resembled some Greek oracle. Like another some time English queen, her name was "Ann," and as "Queen Ann" she was followed by her tribe. Whether she will ever have a successor is doabtfal and perhaps the increase-of education among the masses would in any case cripple such self assumed despotism.

Costers are not amazingly ignorant They learn to read and write somehow. They have a slang dialect, as thieves have. Some of these words are utterly unintelligible to educated ears. If they desire to mask their conversation they drop into their slang instantly. They are not a dishonest people. They are no great care to the police. They have a horror of ending their days in the workhouse, as also of pauper burial. Occasionally they turn up at the police courts, but not as often an do other nether side folk. Tbey patronise a form of entertainment known as the "Penny Gaff," and unknown "utside of London. This is a sort of amateur variety show of a strangely mixed character of amusement

Do they always remain costers! you ask. No bat, on the other hand, the departures from their calling are rare. If a coeter is a bit "perky," or above his neighbors, he seta np a small green grocer's shop. After that be may go still higher in the scale. But, as a rale, he has only the ambition to keep his bead above water, die in his bed, and leave ecoogh. as he says, "to plant him decent like."—London Cor. San Francisco Chronicle

"EDITOR'S BACK STAIRS."

The Interesting Tiews of the late Dr. J. O. Hollaad.

The columns of the newspapers appear to be flooded with proprietary medicine advertisements. As we cast oar eye over them, it brings to mind an article that was^ published by the late Jr. Holland in Scribner's Monthly. He says: "Nevertheless, it is a fact that many of the best proprietary medicines of the day were more successful than many physicians, and most of them, it should be remembered, were at first discovered or used in actual medical practice. When, however, any shrewd person, knowing their virtue, and foreseeing their popularity, secures and advertises them, then, in the opinion of the bigoted, all virtue went out of them."

Is not this absurd? This great man appreciated the real merits of popular remedies, and the absurdity of those that derided them because public attention was called to the article and the evidenoe of their cares. If the most noted physician should announce that he had made a study of any certain organ or disease of the body, or make his sign larger than the code sise, though he may have practised medicine and been a leader in all medical oonnsels, notwithstanding all this, if he should

Eis

resume to advertise and decline to give discovery to the pablic, he would be pronounced a quack and a humbug, although he may have spent his entire life and all his available funds in perfecting his investigations.

Again we say, "abeurd." If an ulcer is found upon one's arm, and is cured bv some dear old grandmother, outside of the code, it will be pronounced by the medical profession an ulcer of little importance. But if treated nnder the code, causing sleepless nights for a month, with the scientific treatment, vis., plasters, washes, dosing with morphine, arsenlo and other vile substances, given, to prevent blood poising or deaden pain, and yet the uloer becomes malignant, and amputation is made necessary at last, to save life, yet all done according to the "ism" of the medioal code, this Is much more gratifyid adds ing to the medical profession, and more dignity to that distinguished order than to be oured by the dear old grandmother's remedy.

This appears like a severe arraignirent, yet we believe that it expresses the true standing of the medical profession is regard to remedies discovered outside of their special "isms." One of the most perplexing things of the day is the popularity of certain remedies, especially Warner's Safe Cure, whioh we find for sale every wb ere. The physician of the highest standing is ready to concede its merits stid sustain the theories the proprietors have made—that is, that it benefits in most oi the ailments of the human system because it assists in putting the kidneys in proper condition, thereby aiding in throwing off the im-

E»88

urities of the blood, while others with honesty and experience deride, and are willing to see their patient die scien tifically, and aocording to the code, rather than have him cured by this great remedy.

Women's Reading Clubs.

Marion Harfond is a devout advocate of tbe woman's cTub. "She who establishes woman's reading club in an agricultural district," writes the well known authoress, "does more to check the deadly progress of farmers' wives to the insane asylum than all the doctors and medical journals in the land The book selected for social reading and discussion may be nothing more dignified than a popular novel of healthy tone. It will lift the toiling creature's thoughts out of the straight, deep rot worn by plodding feet, glorify 'the level stretches, white with dust,' of the 'common' days, which—heaven help them—are every day with this class."

A Snake in a Cabbage.

A d&Hghter of Editor Mortimer, of New Bloomfieid, Pa., brought op out of the cellar a large head of cabbage to prepare for the family's Sunday dinner. She cat it open and immediately began to scream loudly. A member of the family ran in and found a snake nearly two feet long squirming about on the table. It had been snugly coiled around the cabbage bead under the outer leaves, where it had probably been making its quarters all winter.—Brooklyn Eagla
