CONSULS WILL INVESTIGATE.
Have Been Instructed to Report Char
acter of Food Exports.

Washington. D. C.-Secretary Hay,
Of agriculture in retaliation against
the countries which discriminate
against American food products has
instructed the consuls and the con-
sular and shipping agents abroad to
supply the agricultural department
with certified copies of invoices on
food products intended for the United
States and to secure from the foreign
representative special invoice made
under oath declaring that the pro-
ducts exported contain no deleterious
substances.
This action was taken at the re-
quest of officials who are preparing
to enforce the law adopted by the last
congress which forbids the impOrta-
ton of food products deleteriOus to
health and articles which are mis-
branded.
Germany will be the greatest suf
ferer as the result OF the enforcement
Of the new law. For some tim the
German government has discriminate
ed against American food products,
especially meats. Owing to the &C
ton of the German government,
American packers have been badly
handicapped in conducting business
with the Germans. the government
having adopted regulations the en-
forcement. which has been respOn-
sible for the exclusion of some elias
ses of American meat from the Ger

sports, especially in the national game

favorite diversion with President Gar
field. During his administration
new billiard table was placed in the
basement Of the White House, and
here he played almost regularly ev-
erv afternoon. President Garfield al
so was fond of horseback riding.
Taking him all in all he was prob
ably the most all-round sporting pres
ident, for no matter what the sport
he felt at least a mild interest in it.
President Roosevelt, therefore, is
not "cutting a new swath" in the hab-
It's and customs Of the presidents OF
the United States. If anything. he is
following in the steps Of a thoroughly
beaten and welldefined path.

THE OLDEST PERSON.

Mrs Margaret Neve. who died at
Guernsey. England, few weeks ago
at the age of 10 years, probably IS
to be noted as having liver longer
than any other person in modern
times. In the matter of long living
she was entirely original and pecu'
liar. Although men of science have
failed to discover the methods by
which people may exceed the space
allotted by the Psalmist, still the dis
heartened members of the One Hun
dred Years club have found that there
are certain conditions common to
those who live longer than century.
Thus most centenarianS are very
poor, the longest lived being paupers
in aImshouses. Also they are, If not
actually illiterate. at least of defec-
tive education. A third point is abb
sence of convincing proofs of their
great age. Mrs, Neve, however, was
rich from birth and highly educated.
She had the further distinction OF
being the only person known to have
indubitable documentary evidence
of 10 years of life. So invariable has
been the lack Of such proofs in cases
investigated by scientists that the
late Sir George Lewis affirmed that

the proud distinction would be hand
ed down from one generation to an
other in ais family. President Harrl-
son never took much to horseback
riding nor to field sports. but with
shooting he fell more and more IN
love as he became older. He even
shot duck from a "sneakbox," an
achievement of which any duck hunter
may we'll be proud.
Before George Washington became
General WASHINGTON he hunted all
over this same ground. After he be-
came a general he had little time for
hunting and shooting. but he was pas
sionately fond Of horseback riding,
and was considered an excellent
hOrsema2 even during the days when
numbering Old stage coaches were
responsible for much riding in the
saddle and when hOrSemen were plen-

waterfront.
Curious 10 say, fond as President
Cleveland and Harrison were of the
waterfront neither OF them ever
found pleasure in swimming. Presi-
dent John Quincy Adams was by all
odds the swimmer president Of the
White House. Next to Benjamin
Franklin he was the best swimmer
of any public man in Washington.
President Adams also was a remark

as GEORGETOWN. where he had seclu-

the Potomac. Then, after long, re

walk back to his home. where he ar

President ROOsevelt's recent trip
into Yellowstone park recalls a SINH
lar vacation which President Arthur
spent in the same park. accompanied
by Gen. Phil Sheridan. President Ar
thur was especially fond of camping
and hunting and fishing. and on one
occasion was a hundred miles from
where he might have been reached
by telegraph wire. Bass and trout
were Mr.. Arthurs favOrites. He is
said to have been remarkably expert
at casting the fly, and once, when on
a visit south, the fishing club Of
Louisville presented him with an eX-
Quisite rod, suitably engraved, an !

pecially proud.

was sitting on the roof of the Mad
1son Square Garden the other night,
drinking in the beauties of the scene
with my eyes, when, suddenly leaning
back in my chair and glancing up into
the heavens, what was my surprise to
discover that the chaste but brazen
Diana of the tower was absent from
her postI 1 rubbed my eyes in amaze
ment that this should be, and my first
inclination was to sound an alarm,
since I feared that some light fingered
Actaeon had intruded again upon the
privacy of the presiding genius of
Madison square, and, reversing the an
Gent tale of villainy and woe; had
made off with her. I sprang to my
feet with muffled cry, when 1 felt a
sudden tug at my sleeve.
Hush!" whispered a sweet but me-
tallic voice at my side, and, turning,
I beheld the missing deity, clad in a
lovely gown, of exquisite make and
unusually summerish pattern, sitting
slightly behind me in the box.
"You-here?" I whispered in return.
What does this mean?"
only that I occasionally weary Of
standing on my toes, in more or less
feeble imitation of my cousin Mercury,
as he used to appear in his famous

lady replied.
Il should think 1t would be good
deal of relief" said I.
1T is indeed" she agreed. you
don't know really what an awful job
that is standing up on that pinnacle
twenty-four hours a day with Moth
ing to relieve the monotony of it save
that which comes from twirling
around and around like a weather
Vane. Just try it yourself once, she
added.
Thank you, my dear goddess" said
], but twfrling on one foot isn't ex-
actly in my line, especially at such
attitudes. 1t is as much as I can do
to twirl on two feet on the surface
of the earth, let alone acting as your
understudy. I am quite ready to adj
init that it must be a difficult job"
