"While in this sorry plight I lotind this
morning acircilarof the mending bureau
It was sent tonic by some special dlspen
sj.tion of a pit img providence I went to
the mending bureau and stayed twenty
minute They did not repair me com
pletcly, for I an a modest man, and the
officiating angel are nil of the gentler sex,

boy down to the mending bureau with
those articles of appirel, the mending of
which cannot well lie done in in) pres
a?nce," anl so sa)ing the mended and
happy man vanished
The reporter felt his externil niment
all over, hut failed to find anything for
me mending ntireau to experiment upon
Finally he liethought him that there was
but one button on the back of his Pnnce '
Allien coat. What do they have those
two Imttous on the back of a coat for,
anhow The nbsenceof oneof the duo
of buttons had caused the reporter much
annoyance for several weeks It detracted
from the symmetry of his figure, nml
caused him to walk lop sided Itelief
was at hand The reporter sought the
mending bureau As yet it consists of a
cingle good sized mom. light and airy,
and containing sewing machines, work
tables and chiirs Two or three middle
aged ladies and three or four oung lidies
were seated at unit the room, busily plying
the needle. One was threading a needle,
anl she performed tint intricate ojiera
lion eo quickly and neatly that It tn ide
the reporter envious a he recalled pist
struggles of hi own. A tall young lady
with nn amused expression Inherelnpicnt
dark eyes asked the blushing reporter
1 it he wished to hsi e mended He re
s. mod an inclination to say tint his
heart had suffered a compound fracture,
and coyly explained that another button
on his coat tails was the essential to his
happiness The young lid) smiled and
asked the reporter to remoie his coat
Be.ng an unmarried mm, unused to
feminine so-iety, he blushed like a red,
red rose; then, rememlienng with glid
rje that he had put on his pink stnpeel
shirt in the morning, he took courage,
took off Ills coat nnd accepted a proffered
.chair. The other ladies kept on sewing
and pa d no attention to the customer.
THE COWFirT BCREUT
There were two other customers in the
.room, both minus coats One wis hanrg
a buttou sewed on his sh'l cuff, and the
other hid his coat up for repairs The
ladies sewed rapidly, nnd the three con- 1
tracts were soou completed The re-
porter was assisted into his coat by the
tall, dark eyed young lidv. This alone
was worth the price of admis-ion, aid
file cents was all that was charges! for I
the replicing of the button, tor which the 1
assurance was giitn that it would stai as
long as tl e coat were worn
"Wo have no regular scale of
price as yet," said the manageress of the
establishment, "as the mending hureiu
has only been running a .few days It i
the flr-t insti'ution of the kind in the
svest. though there is one in Xework
that has nnde a good deal of monev. We
thought that there was a demantl for 11

asinllsum paid w eekly or inonthl) we
will keep wanlrotics in gixnl repair. Wo
all do qu'ck work and when we sew a
button on it stays there every time."
The reporter realized full) the truth of
these statements There are care es
mortals who would quite as leave 1 aie
their girineuts in Kid repair, but they are
In the minority The great majority will
prefer to have their clothes kept in onler,
and if they have no women folk of their
own to do that sort of thing, the bureau
will lie a full Hedged bexm to them The
-dirning of stockings will lie a special lien

rocks two or three tunes, nnd then throw
them awav total wrecks, rent asunder and

of Iiundries Here at the bureau socks can
be darned nt low rates, and money will
be saved the wearers thereby. Altogether,

knives or pistols in their quarrel They
haue a wiy of pounding and kicking
each other when engaged in disputes, but
are rarely arrested, ns they never seem to
carry malice, and their fights generally
end up in a good natures! way. The
costermonger aud his female are often
the chief actors in a street brawl. When

then he is considered bis property, fahe
speaks of him as her man and she is
spoken of ns his "gaL"
It was hundav morning The two had

little black derby hat about three sizes too
smull for his great, round had His
handkerchief was the lightest of sky
blues She was buxom, burly, of medi
um height, dressed m true costermonger
style. Their dispute! grew out of a dif
ference of opinion as to where they
should spend the day She insisted on
going one wiv and he the other. They
eliputed for half a moment, and then he
turned around and deliberately gave her a
kick which lifted her aliotit six Inches
from the sidewalk, to comince her that
his way was the best. She turned quickly
and begin kicking him in return The
way she brouuht her number ten boots
around against his, shins very soon con
vinced him that he was as strong at that
kind of argument as he. The) kicked at
each other for about five minutes, the
center of a delighted and cheering crowd,
and then the costermonger female by her
skill in kicking earned the day. In a mo

The influence of dwelling habitually in
the presence of a striking work of art can
hardly e overestimated, whether the
work be of such a character ag to debase
or to ennoble The pencil of the artist is
bribed to make to make the den of vice
doubly alluring to tho intoxicated senses
of tLc reveler, while the glowing ardor of
the religion devotee risis almost to ec
stasy a hi gi?es upon the vivid repre
sentation of the tragedy of Calvary. As
are the picture upon the walls of the
home, so are the pictures hung invisible
to all but ourselves in the chambers of
the Imagination, where, night and da),
they make much of the real world in
which we live Whether we dwelt day

hardly greater in the latter case than in
