MEXICO RELENrs.
The American Hog Can Now Enter with
Freedom.


WASHINGTON, February 7th.-Secretary
Rnsk recently made an urgent remon-
strance through Secretary Blaine against
the imposition by the Mexican Govern
ment OF irksome quarantine resolutions in
regard to American hogs.
To-day q telegram was received from
United States Minister Ryan. stating that
the Government Of Mexico viii issue orders
discontinuing the obnoxious rules.
Secretary Rusk is much gratifed at the
removal of this restriction, and regards it
as possible forerunner Of a more liberal
policy in regard to American meat products
on the part OF other foreign countries, a
change of policy which he thinks would be
facilitated should Congress confer upon
him full powers in the matter of meat in
spection.

At Saint-Gall, Switzerland, an old colo
mel named Martignoni has just died at the
age of eighty. He had abundant oppor-
tunity for acquiring a practical knowledge
of men and manners. No romance writer
could dare TO give his hero career 50
varied as that Of old Martignoni. He be-
gan lie as a lawyer. Then he turned a
soldier, and fought in the war Of the Sond-
erbund. At the close of that struggle he
rose 10 the bench and served as Judge.
Then fortune deserted him, and he went
down hill until he became a street sweeper
in New York and afterward waiter in
coffee and cake saloon. Soon afterward
he managed to get to California, where he
became a miner. Having been cured Of
the gold fever he went to England, joined
the army, and served under the English
celors in the Crimean war. At the end OF
that difficulty he went to the Argentine
Republic There again fortune deserted
him. and in few years he returned to
Europe. He labored as railroad con-
ductor, policeman and town clerk, and
at last settled down to quiet life IN his
native country. His final request was
original and easily granted. 1t was that
nobody, except the undertaken and his as
] sistants, should attend his funeral.

Primitive Te1egraphy.

Olaf Searle sat in his office Yesterday
discussing many interesting topics in
his usual interesting way, says the St.
Paul Globe. A card was lying on his
desk on which appeared the word
Budstikke1,, as the name of Scandina-
Wan paper. Mr.. Searle was asked
what the word meant. He replied:
''It is Norwegian word, 1,200 years
old at least. In those days, when the
coasts of Norway were ravaged by
pirates, the inhabitants had to resort to
all sorts of devices to warn those at a
distance of the approach of these pirat-
ieal craft, When one was seen on the
horizon man went up to the top of a
mountain, where he lighted a beacon
fire. This could be seen for a long
distance, and was known to be a warn
ing. When it was seen in the distance
another fire was lighted on another hill,
until all over the country fires blazed
from every hilltop, and the people
prepared to defend themselves.
They also had system of messen-
gers. The man who first sighted the
sail would take an arrow and send it
to his neighbors. From town to town
this arrow was sent until all were
warned. These were rather primitive
ways of telegraphing, but were so eff
fectual that in the course of twenty
four hours all Norway knew of the APP
proach of pirates. This system of
spreading the news was called Bud
stikken, and the word is extensively
used as a name for newspapers in the
old country"

SEWING ON BUTTONS.
A Tedious and Painful Operation That
Generally Ends in Matrimony.

Did you ever see a man in the soli-
tude and privacy of his study attempt
to sew button on by himself? asks "a
writer in the N. Y. Nail. 1t is, in ali
its details, one of the most Interesting
performances in the world.
First, he hunts for button. Gener-
ally, to secure it, he robs Peter to pay
Paul, and cuts one from some other
garment. This may be much larger
or much smaller than the size he is
wearing. Then he hunts for needle.
Probably he goes out and buys paper
of needles. He always chooses the
largest, having an impression that
large needles will sew stronger than
small needles.
AS to the thread, he gets the coarsest
he can find, and this he doubles. He
takes the big needle in one hand and
his coarse black thread in the other;
he bites off the thread to the desired
length; then he tries to twist it to a fine
point. Generally in this he succeeds
in making two, and sometimes three,
fine points out of one end. Of course
he can't get all of these points through
the needles eye at once.
He tries hard to make the needle and
thread get on friendly terms with each
other. Sometimes it is the needle that
kicks, sometimes the thread. Some
times he really imagines he has thread
ed his needle. 1t is an ocular delusion;
the thread has missed the needles eye
by half an inch. 1t is harder work
than saving wood.
At last the needle is threaded. Now
he tries to sew the button on without
taking his trousers off. This proves a
failure. He twists himself into an un-
comfortable position and so would sew.
But he can not sew so. He runs the
needle into his finger and makes an in
audible exclamation. Again the nee
die slips into the fleshy part of the
hand, which induces a very audible
dash from the operator. The record
ing angel knows what is going on in
side of him and debts him with every
item. He sews hard.
He has forgotten all about the ne
cessity for a thimble. He iabs his
thumb down on the needles head and
it punctures his thumb or runs under
the nail. By and by he sews the butt
ton eye full of thread. His big needle
does not pass through any more. He
must stop. He ends by winding the
thread as many times as it will 90
under the button, and perhaps he leaves
off with two or three inches of thread
sticking outside.
A woman can, through many out
ward indications, tell when man has
been trying to sew on a button. He
doesn't know the shibboleth of needle
and thread and it catches somewhere
every time. AT last the button is sew
ed on, and he is proud of his work

Ancient Flowers.

In Bulak, suburb of Cairo, is the
national museum of Egyptian an
tiquities, founded about thirty years
ago by Frenchman commonly known
as Mariette Bey, says Youths Compaa-
ION. One department is devoted to
an interesting collection of specimens
of plants which have been found in the
sepulchral monuments of the country.
It is remarkable that, though the
botanical collection is large, and con-
tains many varieties, every plant is
still to be found growing in the valley
of the Nile. Moreover, the closest ex-
animation fails to reveal the slightest
difference between the plants that
fiourished fifty centuries ago and those
which the traveller sees to-day on the
banks of the river.
The very flowers which the boy
Moses or the children of Joseph picked
still bloom unchanged, even in color,
There are to be seen here blue sprays
of larkspur, which loving hands laid
upon the bodies of those who died a
thousand years before Abraham and
Sarah went down into Egypt.

A TRICK OF THE TRADE.
Marking Down the Sizes of Women's
Shoes to Crafty a Silly Vanity.

"Iwant pair of French kid button
boots. Let me see the very best you
have"
This way, please; here they are;
made by Ready, Sale & Co.; the very
best in the market. What size did you
sayp"
81 wear threes, SLIM"
'tAhi here we are; now, then. Fits
you like glove. If had taken your
measure couldn't have done better. :"
''They seem to be all right. By the
way, are these the same make of shoes
that Mrs. Lightfoot wears?''
s'Well, to tell the truth, no. She al
| ways wears make that costs dollar
pair more"
But you said these were the very
best"
/ "For wear and quality SO they
areP"
''Then why should Mrs. Lightfoot
pay 81 extra for hers?"
/ ''Why, she won't have any other
shoe but Fitem & Co.'S, because she
can wear size smaller of theirs than
she can of any Others
''Ohi But you really don't mean to
say that could wear a No. 2 shoe of
What's-his-name's make do you?"
Certainly you could. You see, they
have got a designer of patterns who is
a perfect genius, and who understands
the human foot the same as school
master does his A B C's. He explained
his system to me one day, and find
he is thoroughly posted. His idea is,
in the first place, to abbreviate the
longitudinal pressure forward, and
then, by propelling the lateral disten-
ton sideways, he, of course makes the
shoe size shorter than it would have
been had he made it the full length"
Dear me! How simple that seems.
And you are sure I could wear a No. 2
of this makeP'
Positive. Here is a pair. Try
them on and see for yourself
why, these are just too nice for
anything. They fit perfectly. They
amt bit tight. Are you sure they
are only twos?"
''You can see for yourself. Size
mark stamped in plain figures on sole
and lining: There it is; size No. 2,
width '.A.''
''Well, I'll take this pair, and after
this you won't catch me wearing any
other make"
This sounds like fiction, but it is
literal fact. The conversation took
place just as it is written with the ex-
ception of the names. Although the
measurements of the woman's foot call
ed for No. 8 she was fitted with No. 2.
The explanation is simply this: There
are manufacturers who, when order
ing sets of lasts, instruct the sellers to
deliver them unstamped. The stamp
ing is done in the shoe factory, each
last being marked a half size or size
smaller than it measures. The uppers
are numbered to match the lasts and
the deception is complete.-Shoea and

Buffalo-Bone Picking.

A curious industry of North Dakota,
which will decrease in time, is buffalo
bone picking. The vast herds of buffa-
10 have been slaughtered and thei1
skins sold, and now the pion GERS make
merchandise of the bones scattered
over the prairies. The bones are ship
ped to St. Louis or Chicago and turned
into glue and fertilizers. Kansas, Col.
orado, Nebraska, and even old states,
have all been the scene of this strange
contribution to wealth, and no one
knows how many thousands of car
loads have thus been CLEANED after the
slaughter of the American bison.
