How Playing Marble. Are Made.

Nearly all the common marbles which
drag down the pockets of our boys are
made in Oberstein, Germany. They are
made from the refuse of the agate and
stone quarries in that neighborhood.
The stone is broken into small cubes by
blows of a light hammer. These small
blocks of stone are thrown by the shovel
full into the hopper" of small mill,
formed of bed of stone, having its sur
face grooved with concentrated burrows;
above these is the runner" which is
made of hard wood having level face
on its lower surface. The upper block
is made to revolve rapidly, water being
delivered upon the grooves of the bed
stone where the marbles are being
rounded. 1t takes about fifteen minutes
to finish a bushel of good marbles ready
for swapping" One mill will turn out
10, 900 marbles per week. The very
hardest CRACKERS" as the boys call
them, are made by slower process,
somewhat analogous, however, to the
other.-New York Telegram.

WESTWARD HO,
Mexico Joins Hands With Texas to
Honor President Harrison.


Ell PAso, Texas, April 21.-The presi-
Dental party arrived here this morning.
The reception here was a perfect ova-
ton, American and Mexican representa-
tives of President Diaz vieing with
others in their efforts to honor President
Harrison.
The city hall was decorated with the
American and Mexican colors and troops
of both countries were drawn up at the
station to receive the distinguished Wis
itors.
When the parry alighted from the
train a salute of twenty-one guns was
fired.
Governor GARLIC, of Chihauhau, and
staff and General Rangell, with battery,
artillery and military band, participated
in the reception as representatives of
President Diaz, of Mexico, who was un-
able to be present.
The distinguished visitors were escort
ed to the court house where a formal
address was made. When the procession
reached the nearest point to the Mexican
line the artillery of that country fired a
salute in honor of President Harrison.

At any time from 16 to % years of age
the male Esquimaux have their lower
lips pierced under each corner of the
mouth for labrets. When the incision
is first made sharp pointed pieces of
ivory are put in.
After the wound heals the hole is grad

labrets made from camel coal, ivory,
common gravel and glass shoppers OBJ
tanned from ships, which they shape for
the purpose. All who can obtain them
have agate ones.-Washingto Letter.

Discovery of Mahogany.

- In the year 1897 one of Sir Walter Ra-
leigh's ships. in AN expedition against the
Azores, put in at Trinidad for repairs.
The workmen used the first wood that
came to hand, and it happened to be the
now famous mahogany. By this accident
it was first introduced into England,
where it was much admired, but it did
not become an article of commerce until
a century later. Since then it has held
first rank as a cabinet makers wood

A BOSTON FIRE.
Twenty Firemen Buried Beneath
Falling Roof, But None Killed.

Falling Roof, But None Killed.
Boston, April ia fire occurred
early this morning in the Chapman
building, five-story brick, principally
occupied by Bailey & Rankin, carpets.
The total loss is estimated at $4,000.
While the fire was at it's height, the roof
fell, the debris imprisoning nearly
twenty firemen, several whom escaped
injury. The streams were at once
directed to the parts of the building
where the accident occurred, and in a
few minutes the debris was cooled suffi-
ciently to permit of the release of the men
beneath. Chief Engineer Washer was
among those caught, and although
bruised and burned, he did not relinquish
his command. Chief Reagan was also
buried, but his injuries are not serious.
Captain .Willet was injured about the
shoulders. Captain Griffin was pinned
down by heavy timbers, which were
sawed apart before he could be released.
District engineer Creswell was pinned
down nearly an hour. His leg was
crushed by heavy timbers. The injuries
of all, though painful, are not fatal. A
dozen other firemen were injured, some
seriously.

How Mark Twain Seems.

The opinions of our serving folks are
sometimes worth knowing. At the Muir
ray Hill hotel the other day one of the
porters remarked: ''There goes the SOL
emnest and dislnalest gent as ever
stopped at this 'ouse. don't b'lieve he
ever knowed what it was to larf.''
The subject of this depressing and
melancholy criticism was Samuel L..
Clemens, Esq, of Hartford, Conn, not
unknown to admirers of serious and in
structive literature as Mark Twain

OPINION HAS CHANGED.
The English Now Think America in the
Right.

Right.
LONDON, April 19.-Blaine's dispatch,
dated April IA, to Marquis Imperiali, as
cabled in full, elicits the enconiums it
deserves. 1t is the merest justice to Mr..
Blaine to say that he has turned the
current of English opinion, which at
one moment ran strongly against
America. The Standard, which at first
was all on the side of Italy, has come
around and practically accepts Blaine's
views with perhaps one exception. His
contention, which was also Webster's,
that foreign residents cannot be made a
more favored class than American citi-
zens, appeals strongly to English minds.
The Times has from the beginning been
the friend of America in this matter. 1t
has taken sound, sensible view both of
the New Orleans incident itself and of
the question arising out of it.

Matters Brazilian,

WASHINGTON, Nov.5.-The congress Of Bra
zil having refused to ratify the plan for the
settlement of it's boundary disputed with the
Argentine republic, the question has been
referred to the president Of the United
states as arbitrator. Tho bureau of Amer
ican republics is informed that the Brazil
ian government has reorganized it's diplo-
matte and consular service, abolishing the
legations at st. Petersburg, Vienna and the
vatican. The government has also consoli-
dated the Venezuelan legation with that
Of Mexico. Bolivian with Peru, and
Portugal with Spain. The Importance
attached to the United States legation is
shown by the fact that it is elevated to the
frst-class and the staff of the ministry in
creased by the addition of second and third
secretaries and their clerks.
The South American journal, of London,
England. says: Business results of the
reciprocity measures of Mr.. Blaine are
already discernible in the trade of the
United States. Even English companies
operating in Brazil are now purchasing
supplies largely in the United States to
secure the benefit of the reduction of 25
per cent. in duties.
