Hot Water Foot Warmers.

a commission sent by the directors of
the French railways to England and
Germany TO report upon the means
adopted in those countries for warming
railway carriages during the winter
finds that France has nothing to learn
from her neighbors IN this respect, hot
water foot warmers similar to those in
use on French railways being employed
almost everywhere. On the Northern
Of France railway, however, an import
ant experiment is about to be tried on a
large scale.
All carriages, even on short distance
trains, are 10 be warmed, and the warmth
is to be produced by means of boxes of
acetate of Soda The chemical is put IN
solid state into the boxes, and these
are then plunged into hot water about
100 degs. The effect is that the soda be-
comes liquid. On being taken out of
the water the boxes are wiped dry and
are put into the carriages. BY degrees
the soda solidifies, and as long as the
operation lasts-that is, for about five
or six hours-it gradually gives off the
heat il has absorbed in the melting pro-
cess.-London News.

GIaos Filling for Teeth.

Persons who object TO the conspicuous
ness OF gold filling when it is placed IN
the front teeth may now have their den
fists use a substance which resembles
the teeth so closely in color that lis pres
ence can be detected only by close and
careful examination. This new filling is
a kind of glass and is the invention of 4
German. It was put on the market oniy
a short time ago. but 1t has been used
enough to prove that tae idea is capt.
tai one. The glass comes IN the form OF
a sand. which is made of nine different
tints. These hues range from a bright
white through various yellows TO kind
of pale pink. Generally a set of teeth
viii have about the color of one of ten
kinds of sand, but to have the two ex-
acfly tine same it may be necessary tt
mix two shades.-New York Tribune.

There was one incident III the woods

A wealthy Albanian, who spends his
summers in the vicinity of Lake George,
and who, by the way, enjoys military
title, came into the woods with great
po1np when deer was in season, and re-
quested that q deer be captured for him.
This was done and the animal fled to a
tree. Then the military gentleman, who
is member of society for the protec-
ton of fish and game, brought his gun
up and blazed away at the tethered ami
NAL It required six shots from the gun
of the Albanian to mortally wound the
deer. What do you think of that for
hunting? The guides in the woods when
they heard of the affair vowed they
would lynch the man If he came up
there again. Albany Journal.

Better Than a Gold Mine.

The steamer San Jose, from Panama.
brought the report of the discovery of
an important deposit of that rare metal
known as vanadium in the province of
Mendoza, Argentine Republic. This
metal is one of the rares and most valu-
able known, and is used for setting dyes
in silks, ribbons, hosiery and other fine
goods. The principal source of supply,
until recently, has been small deposit
in the Ural mountains, and it has been
held as high as 1.500 per ounce. This
deposit in Mendoza will therefore be
recognized rs of great importance.

WE DON'T KEEP OUR PROMISES.

So Says a Member of the italian Lega-
tion in London.
Count Heirschol, of the italian lega-
ton, said
Europe will learn with astonishment
that in negotiating treaties with Amer
ica, the Americans have been actin :
under false pretenses. and making en-
gagements that their government is i'm
potent to fulfil, That is, We p.omise
protection to Americans, and not only
promise but give it, and would vigor-
ously punish anyone unlawfully inter
fering with them. The American gov
ernment engages to protect Italians,
and now, when the occasion comes has
to admit that it is entirely powerless to
perform the engagement.
This is not so honest as Turkev
China and other semi civilized Coun-
tries, which openly admit their inability
to deal with foreign residents according
to the ways of civilization. If America
has certain states like Louisiana, where
the people are not civilized, and resort
to savage methods of enforcing what
they call justice, then that fact should
be mentioned in the American treaties
with civilized nations
Wcu'a Not Talk War.
As to the possibility of war. Count
Heirschol was unwilling to speak. He
said there would be no doubt left of the
ability of Italy to vindicate the rights
of the Italian subjects.
Italy's onIy War Sign.
The only warlike sign in Italy is re-
newed activity in naval armaments.
The Rudini ministry started in with the
policy of Sutting down the naval as we'll
as other expenses but this design has
been abandoned. This, however, is not
necessarily significant Of anticipated
trouble with America, as the situation
i'll Europe is sufficiently grave to Justify
earnest attention to the efficiency Of
Italys navy.
Italian Emigration to America.
Italian emigration returns show that
i'll the year 1890 no le 5 than 25O. 800
Italians emigrated to America and that
$500, 600 have emigrated since 1876.
Americans in Italy.
Another dispatch from Rome states
that there is not the slightest sea on 10
apprehend any serious maltrea mant of
Americans. The situation of Americ MS
generally, even of those ladies attached
by marriage to the princely houses, has
been made somewhat strained and pain
full in social way: but in the cities ut
least Americans need have no fear Of
mob violence, although there have been
few instances of BARRIERS refusing to
shave Americans and similar rebulfs.

ITALY,S POSITION.
Interview with DIR. r. $. Verdi, of wash

Interview with DR.. r. $. Verdi, of Wash
ington, Il Friend of Baron Fava'..
WASHINGTON, April 3.-A reporter
who called Wednesday afternoon on
Baron Fava found him closeted With
DR.. 4. S. Verdi, of this city, and inac.
ce sible
Subsequently DR. Verdi, who was seen,
said: The case is a remarkably plain
one. Italian men have been murdered,
and the Italian government has vainly
asked the United States for reparation,
This government has said: I'VE can do
nothing; only the courts of Louisiana
may take action If this COVE nment
BE- powerless in such a matter it is Il
most SCI ious thing.
wv ny were eatics entered into with
Italy and all other European powers If
the Cnited tates cannot perform that
which it promised to do-to protect
Italian citizens i'll this country. The
United States government has said that
it is powerless as to its duties under the
treaty What are any of its agreement
with any nation worth? Will it satisfy
the European powers to say that this
crime was committed in the state of
Louisiana, and therefore is without the
province of the general government; Is
Louisiana known and recognized as Il
nation!
"Italy knows continued the doctor,
"that these men who were murdered
We're acquitted by jury of Americans,
and believing in the majesty of the
law, it matters not that a mob the
people, you say reversed the verdict
and executed men who had been legally
declared innocent. 1t matters not if
these men who We're killed were most
vicious and criminal. Your law said
they were mot guilty, and Italy is on
the right side when it endeavors to up
hold American law as against the action
of the mob"
Dr.. Verdi declared with a good deal
of energy, that Baron Favas re all was
not due to dissatisfaction with the baron
personally.
This action, said DR.. Verdi, lis that
of an insulted power The Italian gov
eminent is standing on its dignity, and
by recalling its representative, but
voices the sentiment of 30, 000 coo peO-
pie.
How much the late minister did to
prevent this clash, Dr. Verdi added,
might Meier be known, but the doctor
declared that lit is fact that for at
least ten days he has delayed doing that
which he was compelled to do ye ter
day. When he received his instructions
he at once made endeavor to have them
rescinded, and not until he was forced
to do SO did he sever the diplomatic re
lations of the two count les.
Dr. Verdi closed the interview with
the following passionate statement;
"This talk of war is empty fOolishness.
The United States will see its duty and
do it but nothing can be expected from
louisiana 1t has been asked again and
again, Why does Italy not wait for ac-
tion by the New Orleans grand jury;
And now | ask, Why shoul she =?
What can we expect from that grand
jury;
What could we look for from such q
community as New Orleans. where the
mayor is murderer, the sheriff mur-
derer, the board of trade and the clubs
conn osed of murderers, where murder
has common and open possession of the
heart, Very much, indeed, would be
gained by that grand jury.

that Italy, second class on land, is first
