TRICKS USED BY DIPLOMATS
Morning Secrets From Intoxicated EnvoYa Common. According to
 the Great Bismarck.

Bismarck appears 10 have found q capacious thirst even more useful in diplomacy than a good cook He told Busch that when staying with Fred erick William " al Letziingen, "the guests were asked to drink from an old puzzle goblet II vas stag's horn holding about tbree-aaartefs of 8 bottle of wine. so constructed that one could not bring f close 10 the lips, and f was tricky matter to drink from fl without spilling any. I emptied fl at draught. though 1t was filled with very cold champagne. and not q single drop on my waist. coat. Everybody was immensely sur prised. but I said. Fill 1t again Eyi. dently the king did not appreciate my success, for he called out. No, no more
 Such tricks were formerly an in. eiispensable part Of the diplomats trade They drank the weaker Yes- sels under the table. wormed all they wanted to know out of them. and made them agree 10 things which were contrary e their instructions, ar for which they had no authority. Then they were induced to put their signatures 10 the papers at once. and when they got sober they could not imagine how they had done so"

Tn this terrible climate, with the scorchtng sun beating down upon them. the criminals are made to work in the gold mines or opening up the jungle, and as the officers in charge have practically unlimited power over them they are often iil-treated.

LIPS WELL REPAY ATTENTION
In Perfect Condition They Add Much to Appearance of Even Face
 That Is Plain.

Healthy. rosy lips are very impor. tant part of ones appearance.
 When young lips become pale and colorless look into the general health at once. If outdoor exercise does not stir the blood to action and bring healthy color to the cheeks and lips, a ludleious tonic should be taken.
 Too much vinegar will not only make the lips pale. but will thin out the blood until all color disappears from the face as well.
 A dangerous habit is biting the lips to make them red, Not only do the lips become shapeless. but they grow thick and coarse.
 Delicate lips become blistered through being exposed 10 sun and wind Iii such cases lip salye should be used before going out of doors, and a solution of borax and distilled water should be used to bathe the lips night and morning.

MAYOR OF BIRD LAND.

The lizard canary k one ef the most unique varieties ii the cage bird world It's beautiful ground color se nicely tieked. aud pretty little cap" make 1t a thing of beauty and joy forever. It is. however, the only variety that moults out its plumage at the end of the first season. By this it k meant that. although the bird possesses SD beautiful coat for the first year. the piumage disappears altogether at the second mouit
 Thus 1t is show bird for only one i. e. the tirst-season. and this k con sidered q drawback 10 it's popularity. On account of it's wearing such gay apparel for ole year and then putting it aside the lizard has been aptly term ed mayor of Birdie Land
 The little story connected with the lizard and | mayor is well worth re- beating. It WAS at | well known cage bird show being opened by Sir William Trelear, then lord mayor of London. that this celebrity in few well chosen words likened himself unto the lizard canary. many grand specimens of which were on view at the show The stately robes he then wore were only for season. Such iS the case with the lizard. Boston Herald.
