1t has often been claimed that tattoo
marks may be removed by priclling over
them goats milk. This is a mistaken
idea. Chemists and others have for years
experimental with various preparations
in the hope of discovering some agent to
wholly remove indla ink marks from the
human skin. Nothing, however, has as
yet been found that will remove por-
ton even of the Objectionable marks, u1l-
less, possibly, the attempt be made i'm
meaiately following the tattooing proc
ess. At Mount Washington University
hospital, Baltimore, an experiment was
some years ago made i'll tho presence of
the writer upon the forearm of noted
character of that city who died there.
Before his death tho man granted per-
mission to the students of the university
to experiment as they saw fit with his
dead body. One of these students, curl
GUS to learn everything possible connect
ed with tho practice of tattooing, cut
from the dead mans arm n strip of skin
upon which a coat of arms appeared. Be-
meath the skin the design remained visi-
bic. By degrees the flesh was removed,
the design in india ink still rcmainingi in
sight until finally the bone was reached.
After thorough sponging for the pur-
pose of removing the blood and pieces of
flesh remaining, it was found that the
representation still appeared. After cut
ting away a small section of the bone the
india ink mark was found to have not
penetrated beyond.-Boston Commercial
Bulletin.

Talleyrand has been dead fifty-two
years. The first volumes of the memoirs
he left arc issued. He himself forbade
their publication until thirty years after
his death, and at that date his literary
executors found a further postponement
necessary. He was thought to be the
depository of more secrets than any other
man of his day, with greater power over
the regulations of more men, living and
dead. Naturally these memoirs were
long awaited with singular mixture of
curiosity and alarm.
The career these memoirs portray was
and remains unparalleled in modern
Europe for length and variety of dis.
tinguished service. Beginning with Louis
XVI, from whom he received his first
appointment, and from whom he went
later with aletter to the king of England,
Talleyrsnd served in all eight known
masters-besides great number of
others who were ut one time or another
said to have him secretly in their pay.
He became president of tho Constituent
assembly which organized the French
revolution. He was sent to London on
secret mission with passport from
Danton. He was minister of foreign
affairs under tho directory, under tho
consulate, under Louis XVIII and under
Louis Philippe.
In diplomatic skill and success contem-
porary public opinion held him the first
man of his period-that is to say, for half
century the first man in Europe. AS
to real influence ON affairs, it is doubt
full if any minister since can be said to
have exertcd as much, with tho excep-
tions only of Bismarck and Cavour Even
they did not cover 80 wide range, or
deal with such bewildering variety of
negotiations, extending over SO great
time, and furthering the views of so
many masters. Reid in Cen

Early Ruilroading.

When railroads were first introduced.
the engineers, rs we call thcm-or the
engine drivers, as they are called in Eng
land--ran their trains almost rs they
liked, making up time when they had
fallen behind, picking up such infoEma-
ton as they could as to the state of the
track ahead Of them, and for tho most
part plunging ahead with their ma
chimes without much moro than sur
misc whether they should bring up at
their destination or at the bottom of
some high cnbankmcat.
Some of the results Of this want of
system would have been amusing if they
had not been disastrous. Mr.. Laurence
Oiiphant, an English traveller and author,
tells in one of his books rather grim
story Of II trip which he made by rail, in
1875, from Chicago to New York. Over
n part of the distance the train matlc the
extraordinary speed, for that .imc, of
fifty mes y! loEr. and presently it ran

A Dogs Education.

Given an equal amount of intelligence
at the start, u dog which has kcen well
trained is worth twice us much us one
untaught 1t Is rs true of dogs rs of
men. Education counts.
Do not undertake to teach a puppy
unless you have 4 largcsto of patience.
Unless You can control your temper and
be persistent i'll teaching your best
course is to buy dog already trained.
But if you want real dog lovo and con-
fi1ence take the animal in his puppy
hood, as soon as he is able to feed him
self, and your efforts will DO crowned
with q greater success than ever comes
otherwise. No dog ever loves any one
so well as his teacher, who represents to
him the wisdom and power of the world
A dogs world, you know, is u very mar
row one.
Suppose yourself tho owner of a pup
py. He is entirely ignorant. "Come
here!" "Go there!" mean the same to
him, since they mean nothing atall. He
must first learn what you want, and
thcro you must give yourself the first
lesson in patience.
Begin with, "Come herel" You can
mako him understand what this means
by allowing him to see his food in your
hand. Teach him nothing else until he
knows perfectly what that means and
obeys it.
When he comes to you pat him and
pet him. Dogs are much like children,
fond of praise and equally fond Of their
own ways. If you tell your dog to come
to you make him do it. II he never dis
obeys he will never kno " he can disobey.

A steam crane has been constructed
for employment on the Manchester ship
canal which has done some remarkably
good work, both in hard and in soft ma
tci!al. Tho machine is an ordinary ten
ton locomotive crane, with an eNcav;,tor
attaci.sl to the jib, the whole being car
rie;l on IL steel truck fitted with wheels.
Tho principal feature of tho excavator is
the method by Which tho bucket is fed
up To Its work. THIS is done by a spe-
cial steam cylinder, which is bolted to
the arms carrying the bucket, and by
means of which tho bucket can bo
moved in or out distance of two feet
as desired. In making a cut the bucket
is first lowered to the bottom of tho cut
ting, and then fed up to Its work by tho
steam cylinder, the valves of which arc
controlled from the footplate of tho ma
chine.
The lifting gear is then applied, and
the bucket is swept up the face of the
cutting by means of tho lifting gear.
In practice entire cuttings up to 20 feet
deep and 40 feet wide have been worked
by these machines, the output varying,
so the makers state, from 200 to 800
wagons Of cubic yards each per day Of
eleven hours. The cost of such excava-
ton and delivery into wagons is said to
be trif1e less than two cents per cubic
yard.-New York Commercial Adver-

Cats Enjoy Fun,

The sportiveness of kittens is exuber-
ant and makes them the most delightful
of pets. Lindsay's remark is superfluous,
except that it has to be made for the
formal completeness of his treatise that
dogs and cats take part in the fun and
frolic-sometimes rough and boistero=e
enough-of their child playfellows. They
give every evidence, in fact, that such
fun and frolic are the most enjoyed
features Of that period of their lives. AS
the animal natures it becomes more
sedate, and even assumes meditativc
air, but the taste for sport does not die
out till infirmity begins to wear upon it.
A cat mentioned in The Animal
World would allow itself to be rolled up
or swung about in a tablecloth, and
seemed to enjoy the fun, and Woods
dignifed Pusset would let his friends do
anything they pleased with him-lift
him up by any part Of the body, toss
him in the air from one to another, use
him as footstool, boa or pillow, make
him jump over their hands or leap on
their shoulders, or walk along their ex-
tended arms with perfect complacency.
At tho same time he was keenly sensi-
tive to ridicule, and if laughed at would
walk off with every manifestation of Of
Tended dignity.-W. II. Larrabee in
Popular Science.

A Rare Orchid.

In one Of tho tropical greenhouses at
the Harvard botanic garden in Cam
bridge may he seen in flower a wonder
full and noble plant belonging to the or
child family. This magnificent plant,
which is technically named Angraecum
sesquipedale, is % native of Madagascar,
where it is found growing upon trees.
In its native country Its stem is from
three to four feet high; the leaves, about
a foot long, dark, shining green. The
flower is about six inches in diameter,
ivory white, with spur from twelve to
eighteen inches long, and 1t has power
full fragrance, particularly at night. 1t
was discovered about seventy years ago,
but was not introduced in living state
until 1857. 1t has become famous as
one Of the orchids which Darwin was
specially interested In on account of
the exceptional length of its spur. The
plant at the Cambridge Botanic garden
is particularly good specimen, and has
four spikes of flowers, with three blooms
on each spike.-Boston Journal.

Modern Heroes.

Those pessimistic folks who can SEQ
nothing heroic in the spirit or people OF
this age are respectfully requested to give
moments attention to the case of Israel
Joseph, real estate broker, who was
buried in Cypress Hills cemetery recently.
The other day, at the crowded corner Of
Broadway and Vesey streets, two little
girls were about to be run down by n
heavy team whose driver had lost con-
troll of them. Israel Joseph sprang from
the sidewalk, seized the animals by the
bits and held them back until the girls
were out of the way.
The plunging horses 30 jerked and
flung him about that q heart valve
burst, and i'll few days the man was
dead. He had simply given his life for
two children he had never seen before.
And in SO doing he had proven himself
one of the heroes of which our old world
still has plenty. Only they are garbed
i'll worlSmen's blouses or business mems
cutaway coats, and we don't recognize
them as they go about their business in
the humdrum ways of daily life.-New
York Press.

Pretty Big Eels.

On Dutch Neck is Gross pond-said to
no bottomless, but at the deepest place
it is only fifty-six feet deep.
At its outlet one fine morning Chris
topher Waltzgrover discovered an enor-
nous eel. He at first thought it near
relation of some of the snakes he often
found in his boots. The creature was
nearly ont of water in shallow spot.
He attacked it with a club and the
monster showed fight. After tussle tho
eel was slain. 1t was ~ feet long and
dressed o. pounds. Mr.. Waltzgrover had
eel steaks for long time. The skin
hangs today in the Office of A. R. Reed,
the prominent ship builder. 1t has
shrunk much, but is now eight inches
wide. The head is more than half a
foot long, and the eyeholes are an inch
long.
The largest eel outside of that giant
with which l have had personal &C
quaintance was one taken from Adams
pond at Boothbay harbor weighing four
and one-half pounds. When that pond
was drained in order to fit it for reser-
voir the bottom was alive with eels, and
two enterprising young mon skinned q
barrel full and shipped them to Boston.
They usually net from eight to ten cents
q pound.-G. w. Singer in Lewiston

His Curiosity VA. Too Strong.

A delightful story Of the exhibition in
an 8-year-old boy of weak human nature
that fails sometimes to be equal to the
strain put upon it comes from Brook
lyn. This small boy has not tho virtue
of humility very prominently developed.
Indeed, ho is what is known among chill
dren of his own age as "proud," and
wont to remind such of his playmatcs as
arc less fortunate than he in worldly
station of his advantages. Now his
mother, who has q class in Sunday
school, to which her little son also be-
longs, had given his outgrown overcoat
to another boy in tho class.
And then, knowing the failing of her
offspring, before setting out she told him
he must not tell the new owner that the
coat had ever belonged to him. And the
boy promised. But it was terribly hard
work, especially as he sat next tho object
of his self restraint during the entire
exercises. But he didn't say any
thing, and the mothers heart was
easier. At last, however, just before
school was over, his state of grace de-
parted from him. Leaning over the
othor boy, with cautiously extended
fingers, he said, 81 just want to see if
that hole is in that pocket yet."-Ncw

Tho Best Way to buy bananas.

The banana, which is the greatest of
all tropical fruits, comes to us chiefly
from Panama and the West Indies in
great shiploads, and in the banana mar
ket in New York the big green lunches
"heads" they call them in South Amer
ica, just as we speak of heads of cab
bage-containing from five to ten dozen
each, can be bought for dollar to two
dollars and fifty cents, according to the
variety. They arc not so expensive after
all, and u big green bunch hung in a
cool cellar will ripen gradually, so as to
furnish dozen of ripe ones each day un-
til the whole bunch is gone. In this
way you can enjoy your bananas just as
they do in the land of palms, for even
there they cut them while they are geeen,
and allow them to ripen as we do in the
North.-Courtenay do Kalb in Harper's

Three Nimrods who have been hunting
quail near here for some weeks past were
on Thursday last treated to an experience
that they will never forget.
They were hunting that morning in
the fiat woods near Beresford, and, while
trying to locate covey of quail that
their dogs had flushed close to growth
of high palmettoes, one of the party who
was some distance from the others sud-
denly called out, ga rattler!'' His dog
was only few feet in front Of him,
when all at once he sprang to ono side
quicker than q fash and came stto heel. {"
On the instant there came from under
the palmetto that well known but dread
ed sound to the hunter-the rattle.
To locate the snake was an impossi-
bility, for the peculiar noise that ema-
mates from that vibrating tail 80 affects
the drum of the ear that, unless the snake
is seen, it would seem to be within a
radius of but few feet, but where you
cannot tell. Finally, after much caution
by the hunters, with the aid of stick at
least ten feet long, the pal,nettoes were

raisel out of gopher hole" Angry
and fierce he looked; his eyes seemed
fairly to emit sparks of fire. After gaa-
ing at him for short instant, one of the
party fired, hitting him full on tho head,
and tho hideous warning ceased. Then,
with % forked stick and the united efforts
Of two, he was pulled out of his retreat.
His length was fvo feet and ten inches.
and he girted at tho center of the body
twelve inches and one-quarter-having
twelve rattles. Ono of the party re
marked: "Gentlelnen, 1 have seen my
first rattle on Its natural domain in
Florida, and I'm ready to quit. If quail
live in their locality, oven if every bird

Knots on Trees.

In the barks Of our forest trees are
contained a multitude of latent buds,
which are developed and grow under
certain favorable conditions. Some trees
possess this property in a remarkable
degree, and often, when the other parts
are killed down by frost, the property of
pushing out these latent buds into
growth preserves the life of the plant.
These buds, having once begun to grow,
adhere to the woody layer at their base.
and push out their points through the
bark toward the light.
The buds then unfold and develop
leaves, which elaborate the sap carried
up the small shoot. Once elaborated, it
descends by the bark, when it reaches
the base or inner bark. Here it is ar
rested, SO to speak, and deposited be-
tween the outside and inner layer of
bark, as can be learned on examining
specimens on the trees in the woods
almost anywhere.-Science Gossip.

Those Lifo preservers.

II often have a strong DESIRE" said a
ferryboat traveller, "to pick up one of
those life preservers under the seats and
hold it up by one Of the strings, just to
see if it wouldn't fall to pieces from its
own weight. They look rotten, and
believe they are rotten. They never
seem to change positions. The dust is
always an inch thick on them, and so
assume that they are never examined.
Fancy the despair of man who seized
one of them to assist him in saving his
life, and when he tried to tie the straps
around him found them falling apart
like worn out shoestring."-New York
Tribune.
