Curiosities Found in
Prague Button Museum
"Button, button, who'i got the
button?" Tliey know In Prague
"here buttons are to he found, for
iht're Is a button museum In the
Czechoslovak canltHl in which every
form and type of button ever manu
factured or wrought by hand Is on
exhibit. The button museum It
one of the most unique institutions
of Its kind In the world, according
to the New York World.
The museum was founded by
button manufacturer named Henry
Waldes. Within s few years the
Institution has so expanded that It
tills two fluors of a large house In
the suburb of Wrsohonitx.
A study of the materials used Is
In Itself most worth while. There
are buttons of gold, of silver. Ivory,
bonne, porcelain, of precious stones
such as turquoise, opal carneol, etc
Some buttons date back 8.000 years
before Christ. The flashiest and
showiest buttons are those of the
Eighteenth century, when Europe
seemed to enjoy rare luxury.
The most grewsome buttons are
the so-called poison buttons, con
taining a tiny rhlal of poison and
surmounted by a sharp stud. In the
days of political assassinations It
was an easy thing for a man attend
ing a high society function, such as
a ball, to scratch his adversary and.
In a crowd, to brush by him In such
a way that the button scratched his
skin. Into this rent in the skin the
contents of the button would then
flow with fatal consequences.
Ambassador Has Many
and High Privileges
The task of being an ambassador
1c a very pleasant one Indeed. This
representative possesses some re
markable privileges, and ranks Im
mediately after the royal princes of
the country In which he Is residing.
It might almost he said that an am
bassador, like the king, can do no
wrong, for he stands above the law
of the country in which he is offi
ciating. The courts have no power over
him or his servants, and even a
criminal. If he were known to be
residing on an embassy, could not
be arrested without the permission
of the ambassador.
Another Interesting fact about an
ambassador Is that the ground on
which his residence stands belongs
to the country from which he
comes.
We all grumble nowadays about
the amount of taxation we have to
pay. This Is where the ambassador
again scores. Ambassadors do not
have to pay a single penny In taxes.

"Jack Tar"
A waterproof canvas Impregnated
with tar Is called a tarpaulin. By
extension the wide-brimmed storm
hat worn by sailors In former times
was called a tarpaulin also. Usu
ally these hats were made of oiled
or tarred cloth. As time went on
the sailors themselves were called
tarpaulins. The word was so used
by Dickens and many other writers.
This was later shortened Into "tar."
Finally "Jack" was added and a
sailor was called a Jack Tar. The
popular belief that a sailor Is called
a tar because of his nse of tar to
seal the seams of the ship seems to
be disproved by the earlier use of
"tarpaulin" as applied to sailors.
Pathfinder Magazine.
Why They "Joined Up"
for Better or W orse
I.ittle did I think what an Inter
esting task I had set myself w hen I
out to 'nqulre why some wives
nn1 husbands had married.
Let us get over the unpleasant
pan first. I asked a young wife
why she had married, since she ap
parently took little interest In her
husband and home.
"Oh, 1 wanted to be free. Mother
wouldn't let me have a latchkey,
and If I was ten minutes late com
ing home at night there was as
much fuss as If the house had
caught dre. So I escaped with the
first "boy who asked me. He s not
much of a catch, either."
Incidentally, that woman finds It
is impossible to do exactly what one
likes even when married. Her hus
band "watches the clock" when
site's out, too !
Next a man told me he married
his wife because he was sorry for
her. She was unhappy at home and
he couldnt bear to see her cry.
Now he sees what a fool he's been.
and from what I gather It is he who
makes her cry nowadays. It s to
be hoped that no other man will
come along and pity her.
"Why did I marry?" echoed an
other man. "Why, because she la
the sweetest, best and dearest little
girl In the world, and I Just couldn't
have lived without her." Pleasant
hearing words like that. Isn't It?
Vera Leslie, In Edinburgh Scotsman.
"Jumping" Customs
in Various Countries
"Jumping" customs are to be
found In numerous countries among
the superstitious peasantry. In Rus
sia, on Midsummer eve, young men
and maidens carrying a straw figure
of a mythical hero. Jump over a
bonfire In couples. This act Is sup
posed to help the crops. In Bagan
da. South Africa, when the beans
are ripe, a woman calls upon her
eldest son to eat some of them
which she has cooked. If she neglects
to do this It Is believed that she will
fall 111. After the meal her husband
must Jump over her. Following this
the beans may be eaten with Im
punity by the family. These people
also treat fishing ceremoniously. The
first catch of the season Is devoted
to the god Musasa. The second
catch Is taken home and, after the
fish have been cooked and eaten,
the man of the family Jumps over
his wife and all Is well. Otherwise,
distress may ensue. In Uganda,
tt'hen a wartinx rettirng. tf his home
after a campaign, his first id Is to
Jump over his wife. Before starting
out on a warlike, expedition each
general must Jump over his wife, or
dtsaster will befall.
Ring Lor
The origin of the finger ring
reaches back to ancient Greek my
thology. Prometheus it said to have
worn the first ring. Prometheus
stole fire from Heaven with which
to cook his food and so brought up
on himself the displeasure of Jupi
ter, w ho condemned the daring mor
tal to be chained forever to i rock.
Jupiter later repented and released
Prometheus, but ordered that lest
he might forget his punishment and
perhaps dare to steal from the gods,
he should always wear a chain
about his finger to which a fragment
of rock was attached, and thus tech
nically at least, carry out the origi
nal sentence of being chained to a
rock forever. In this Is seen both
the origin of the ring and also the
practice o setting rings with pre
cious stones.
Early Envelopes
When envelopes were first made
the sealing flaps were nngummed
and were closed by applying at the
point of the sealing flap a wafer of
sealing wax. About 1840 there ap
peared on the market envelopes
with a small 'lick of gum" about
half an Inch square at the point of
the sealing flap, and this very soon
supplanted the wafer of wax. When,
however, as a still further Improve
ment, some manufacturers began to
gum the whole of the. sealing flap,
many protested against It; and
while willing to moisten the small
spot of gum, for sanitary reasons
they were not willing to "lick" the
entire flap. After some time this
prejudice was overcome and en
velopes with gummed flaps rapidly
came Into favor. Pathfinder Magazine.
Odd "Restitution"
There Is on record one Edward
Hunt, who played a rather dirty
trick on his only son. It seem?
that the old gentleman had one
time wronged another man had
beaten him out of a large sum ol
money and otherwise worsted him
The fellow had died, but Hunt'i
conscience still troubled him. When
It came to dying he decided ht
would make some kind of restltu
Hon. so he ordained that his twen
ty-one-year-old son, In order to fall
heir to his fortune, must hunt out
nnd mnrry the daughter of. the othet
Special
"Aside From That"
The rehearsal was over. Calling
ne of the actors to the front the
rodncer said:
"I have been sitting In the fourth
iw of the orchestra and I haven't
leard a single word you've been
nylng. Your elocution is as mo
notonous as the song of a bumble
'ee. Yon don't walk the stage you
waddle across It like a duck. Your
.lg looks like a second-hand hearth
rug. Your clothes hang on you as
they would on a hat peg. You've so
many pairs of hands you don't know
what to do with them, and If you
take my advice you'll go and stuff
your feet In your pockets."
"Otherwise O. K.T queried the
actor.
Resourceful Mr. Beanpole
Mr. Beanpole was" somewhat sen
sitive about past failures, it being
his job to look after the plants and
goldfish when Mrs. Beanpole went
sway. So this time he picked out a
rear bathroom, put the fish in the
tub, turned on a gentle stream and
ranged the plants under the eaves
to catch the overflow. Surplus wa
ter merely trickled down the back
stairs and under the kitchen door
Into the yard.
Such were the arrangements
greeting Mrs. Beanpole upon her re
turn. There was a moderate amount
of damage to plaster and linoleums,
but the goldfish and the plants were
never more flourishing.
Modern Life
Perhaps modern life too much
absorbs and fatigues the spirit, In
sisting that every man, even lie of
humble circumstances, shall learn
and do too many things; so that he
has neither the leisure nor the will
to test Ideals, and, sounding them
to stir his Imagination till It trans
forms them Into something more
precious and Important than the
guise In which tliey first apteared.
Modern men are proud of their ac
tivKy, but the too active life spurns
the contemplative, atrophies the
Imagination, habituates the spirit to
heeding only concrete things.

Tables Turned on Barber
"What makes Bill the barber so
gloomy these days?"
"Since women started to come to

Old-Time Oratory
When In the bouse of commons
Sheridan made his famous speech
on the sH)llatlon of the Begums of
Oude. he was offered, within 24
hours, 1.000 for the copyright.
Burke's subsequent plea for the Im
peachment of Warren Hastings had
even more dramatic effect, as we
may read in the pages of Macaulay.
"Handkerchiefs were pulled out
smelling bottles were handed round,
hysterical sobs and sosjeams were
heard, and Mrs. Sheridan was cur
ried out In a lit."
That was In 1788. Orators and
their art and some other things
have changed since then. New

Boy Knew Hi Business
Mr. Peters brought a piece ol
cloth home to have a suit made.
The family examined the goods
spread out on the table, remarked
upon the fine quality and pattern.
Even little ltonald was called upon
to give his opinion of father's new
suit.
He turned the stuff on the wrong
side and began to examine It.
"Ronald," said old Peters, 'that
Is the wrong side. How stupid you
are!"
"Why stupid?" answered the boy.
"You bet It won't come to me until
it's turned on the wrong side."

Seen of Wesley's Labors
The border of Fermanagh county
is one of the strongholds of Metho
dism In Ireland. It came under the
personal sway of John Wesley and
his Influence hat never been for
gotten. In the course of hit mis
sionary visits Wesley crossed the
Irish channel no fewer than 42
times, and carried the tenets of his
faith even aa far west as the county
of Limerick. In one of the Wes
leyan chapels there a long coaching
horn Is still hung up In the vestry
room. It la not a relic of a sporting
parson, but was used In the old days
to call In the flock when Wesley or
one of his Itinerant preachers paid
an unexpected visit.

Money Talks
But there is a greater advantae in the
practice of thrift and the saving of
money, a fact that you can see in the
lives of thousands of successful men.
It is the habits formed, self control
acquired and the work that the mind
does in place of the follies that go
with extravagance.

"THE BEAUTY PRIZE"
From the story by NINA WILCOX PUTNAM.
The judges thought Connie was a Fifth Avenue heiress,
never suspecting that her fashionable address was due to the
fact that her mother was caretaker at the Wnithrop mansion.
Connie was, in fact, a manicurist who had acquired a lot of
polish. But when she was voted the most beautiful girl In the
United States, tho judges told her that, Inasmuch as the $2000
prize could mean nothing ni her life, they thought the money
should go to tho girl who won second place. See "The Beauty
Prise" for what happened after that, and some inside dope on
beauty contests. Fun, Fun, all Fun.
