Agent, Received Harsh '1ea'
From Government.

c,,.. noone the first diplomatic
.cont If tbe United States, was born
at Groton. Mass, close to 1oV years
600 He became a merchant ana was
: delaoate to the first Continental con-
gross In the spring Of ITO ne was
cont r. France as a secret diplomatic
agent He posed as merchant from
Bermuda, and upon his ARRIVAL N
Paris sought an interview with Count
40 vereennes, the Minister OF Foreign
Affatres. who refused to receive MN.
Daane was reduced to the direst pow
ertv and was elected by his iandiaoy.
Subsequent American Ambassadors
have complained of the lack OF sun
able embassies, but Deane was
duced to a point where he had 10 ac-
cent poor lodgings from a sympa-
tbetfc Frenchman. Eventually he was
given an audience with Vergennes ana
heSan the diplomatic relations whicn
eventually resulted in the Frencn III
lance. In 1777 Deane was recalled.
Tn the bitter controversy which fol-
lowed his recall Thomas Paine reveal
ed the fact that supplies furnished the
colonies had been furnished by the
French government. This was con-
sidered diplomatic indiscretion ana
# cost Paine his place as secretary OF
the Committee on Foreign Affairs.
Deane, driven into poverty and exile
died in England in 1889. Half cen
/ fury later his claim for his services
abroad was adjusted by congress ana
large sum was paid his heirs.

MULE MISSED HER TOBACCO


Thinking the animal made mistake
in not knowing whom she was kicking
or 1t was his fault because he forgot
to give her the usual chew Of tobacco,
Fred Wales Of Grass Valley, CAL, who
carried his arm in q sling for some
time as the result Of q kick from Bes-
sic, excuses his partner Of fourteen
years for injuring him.
The mule is known to every en-
ployee of the mine, $50 In all. and
while there Is no affection for her
among 449 of them, they all have Q
wholesome respect for her in spite Of
her contrary disposition. It IL mine
classic that she kicks the airpipe two
feet above her for exercise.
With Fred Wales, however, 1t Is DIFF
ferent. He has worked with Bessie
for fourteen years and has become at
tached to the animal. He excuses her
vagaries as an indulgent mother con-
dones the actions Of a spoiled child.
1t is merely q matter of tempera-
ment, he says, and the other men do
not understand her. His faith was
shaken temporarily, but not for long.
In the physicians Office he. took OF.
Tense at a suggestion that the mule
should be killed on account Of her
viciousness and rushed to her defense.
'It was perhaps my fault; 1t certain.
Iy was not hers. Bessie either did moi
know who it was when she kicked o.
I had forgotten to give her the usual
chew Of tobacco. am willing 10 takl
all the blame"

PULLED THEIR COLLARS OFF
n Paris Women Wore Too Large q
Neck Piece Other Women Forclbly
Removed Them.

In Paris, at one time, the people
dropped their extravaganza, and II
q woman ventured to wear too large
a collar, the other women would pull
it off," Henry Villas he did With
everything he set his mind to-inter
fered with the dress of his subjects to
some purpose and brought forward a.
act against wearing costly apparel.
A few years later the law became
more stringent still. Philip and Mary
compelled attention not only by f1neA
but went so far as to send offenders to
prison. Elizabeth saw that the PEG
pie were reckless with their money,
and caused an act to be passed which
declared that anyone who sold foreigp
apparel to persons having less than
$4,000 a year In land or fees, except
for ready money. should forfeit every
penny of the price.
Ladies wore hoods, hats and caps Of
every conceivable shape They were
careful as to their hair, and they had Z
fine assortment Of wigs at hand. Eliz-
abeth herself sometimes wore red hair.

The press button system with which
we are familiar in gloves and garments
has been applied by European inven-
tor for fixing carpets, tapestry hang
lngs and the Ike, says the Scientific
American. For instance. a small spring
socket IL inserted flush with the floor,
and the carpet carries a corresponding
projection, so that all that is needed
to lay carpet or rug is to push the
Buttons into the sockets.
Again the projections are mounted
along a stout tape band and the SOCK
cts on another. quite like the usual
pressure button. One tape is sewed
to the rug, and another can be tackled
down upon an already laid carpet. SO
that the rug can he laid OF removed
instantly.
Hangings can be put on the walls In
the same way. Curtains or portieres
can also be mounted, and all such
material can be at once removed for
cleaning. In case of fire valuable
hangings can be saved.
