Glover Work of Mile. Grey Wes
Much Appreciated by Big
Audience.
II was a highly appreciative
audience which attended the per
formance of Mile. Athmore Grey
at the Orpheum theater last
night. The theater was crowd
ed to its utmost capacity, many
standing in the aisle before the
“S. H. O.” sign was taken down
and the office slopped selling
tickets.
Mile. Grey is a classical danc
er of the Grecian type and is a
thorough artist such as Valdez
audiences have never had an op
portunity of seeing. Her every
motion is graceful and not cap
able of misconstruction. Her
dancing shows a trained mind
and body.
The repertoire last night in
cluded Rubenstein’s “Valse Ca
price,” Mendelssohn’s “Spring
Song,” Grieg’s “Anitra’s Dance,”
and “The1 Dance of tin; Gnomes,”
as well as several minor num
bers. Her beautiful presenta
tion of “Salome." the dance of
seven veils, was Mile. Grey’s most
artistic work and called for much
applause from her pleased audi
ence. The performance will be
repealed again Ibis evening and
is sure to draw a crowded house.
The Philosopher.
When dirt- misfortune c-tunos
along and knocks the oilier chap
all wrong, I'm always in good
form; I tell him that his fare
should shine; that il is wicked to
retinue, to yield before the storm.
But wlii-ii the hail comes down,
alas, and ruins all my garden
sass, I am too sort- to talk, and
when my neighbor comes to say
lhal I should dance and sing all
day, I chase him round a block.
Old Bulger has the rheumatiz,
and through his frame the pink
pains whiz, and so he sits and t
groans. “Brace up, brace up and
he a man, and tie as joyful as
you can,” I say in cordial tones.
But Iasi week when I broke, my
shin I did not caracole and grin
to any groat extent, ami when old
Bulger came to spring some dope
advising nit- In sing, I cussed him
till lie wen 1. It’s easy for the
fellow wise lo sil up and phil
osophize o'er oilier people's
woes, lull can lie keep his smile
on straight when an unkind, re
morseless fate shall hash him on
I he nose? It isn't hard to calm
ly view I he grief lhal makes our
neighbor blue, and of his duly
talk: lull il retpiires of grit a
deal to smile when on an orange
peel we slop and fall a block.

■ In early times, when man was
master, clothes were fastened with
strings and brooches. The Norman
nobility, who always had an eye to
feffect, spent considerable sums of
money on their brooches, which
were chastely wrought and added
greatly to the beauty of a eostume.
When the poorer people indulged
in brooches they were content if
such accessories to the toilet ful
filled the purpose of holding the
clothes together. The earliest but
tons were merely adopted as orna
ments and fulfilled no useful func
tion. In the earliest paintings one
finds buttons without any corre
sponding buttonholes. Buttons were
also sewed on shoes and figured
prominently on the sleeves.
This latter fashion is still popu
lar as regards ceremonial garbs and
uniforms. The button as an article
of use and not merely as an orna
ment may be said to date from the
reign of Edward 1. These early but
tons were of modest appearance
and were manufactured from bone
and wood.
It was the usual custom to have
two buttons stitched on the coat at
the small of the back to enable a
man to button back his coattails so
that he could walk or draw his
sword the more easily. These two
buttons are still retained on mod
ern coats, though any reason for
their existence has long since de
parted.
As wealth increased goiu ana sa
ver buttons made their appearance.
We find Pepys writing, “This morn
ing came home my fine camlett
coat, with gold buttons, and a silk
suit, which cost me much money,
and I pray God to make me able to
pay for it.” A little later Pepys
refers to his jackanapes coat with
silver buttons and records the fact
that he put on for the first time
“my black camlett coal with silver
buttons,” from which it is evident
be had a camlett coat with silver
buttons and one with gold. Pepys
was only a man of moderate means
and at the time when he was mak
ing such a display with his gold
and silver buttons supposed him
self to be worth “about £.r>00 clear
in the world.”
Rut the gold and silver buttons
were necessary if he were to keep
in the fashion. Those who stood
outside the fashionable world flat
tered their love for display by sport
ing gilt buttons. At a later date
cloth buttons became popular, but |
when Rirmingham began to turn i
out metal buttons an act was pa'ss- j
ed in the reign of George 1. forbid- j
ding the manufacture of cloth but-;
tons in order that the new industry
of metal buttons might have a
chance to flourish. The metal but-j
ton industry made the most of the |
opportunity, for all kinds of but
tons now compete on an equal foot
ing for popular favor. — London]

Papyrus.
The papyrus used by the ancient j
Egyptians was made from the stems •
of a peculiar water reed growing in
all- parts of Egypt. The outside!
layer of the plant was removed, and !
beneath this there were found a j
number of layers of a delicate, pithy
membrane. These, being separated,
were placed in layers. A second
layer was laid at right angles to
and above the first and sometimes
a third over the second. Heavy j
pressure was then applied, and the
layers were firmly cemented into a
fair article of paper. No gum other
than what was contained in the
plant itself was used in the process.
The papyrus was very much strong
er than the average paper made by
the modern machines. The sheets
were commonly made from six to
twelve inches square.
The Height of Auurance.
A man was charged with stealing
a horse, and after a long trial the
jury acquitted him. Later in the
day the man came back and asked
the judge for a warrant against the
lawyer who had successfully de
fended him.
•t“What’s the charge?” inquired
the judge.
“Why, your honor,” replied the
than, “you see, 1 didn’t have the
money to pay him his fee, so he
t«ok the horse I stole.”—Lippin
cott’s Magazine.
