The reason for selling is that conference was quite extended, but the results, if any, were carefully euardi'tl. It is said Mr. Herbert intimated that discriminating tolls charged against American vessels for using the Cana dian canals, while within the letter of the treaty between the two countries re specting the navigation of the canals ami the bt. .Lawrence, were probably not in accordance witn tne spine or the docu- mont. He disclaimed any knowledge of any intention on the part of the Dv mimon government, or that of tlio mother country, to enter upon or autho; ize a series of reprisals against the United States in case President Har rison acts under the terms of the ne v law. He probably recognized, if hoiiid not admit, the futility of such a coure.), as it would lead to the entire suspension of a groat part, if not the greater part of the traffic of the Canadian trans-conti nental line. It was said at the etate ""de partment that the officials did not lrncr.v that fair John Thompson of Canada is on his way to Washington to secure a pledge from the president that he will not issne his proclamation until the op portunity is givan to the Canadian gov ernment to hear from England and de cide on a line of immediate action. While Persident Harrison does not' usu ally act precipitately in nublic matters. it is possible that whatever delay there may be in issuing a proclamation will be uuo to a consideration or interests on this side of the border.

Variot, a -' . i , i r i.ii.. xrencn aamoniy, ior extirpating tatiuu marks has been widely described and approved, the initial proceeding being simply "to wash the part with a concen trated solution of tannic acid, then closelv tiuncturinff it with a set of nee dles, snch as tattooers use; following this, a cravon of nitrate of silver is thoroughly rubbed over the area, and after a moment the.skin is dried off, at which stage it is found that the punc tures have become deeply blackened by the formation of the tannate of silver in the superficial layers of tho skin. Tho cauterization is said to result in an inflammatory reaction for a couple of days, and subsequently in the forma tion of a crust of thin eschar, which sep arates spontaneously in from fourteen to eichteen days, leaving beneath it a superficial red cicatrix, which gradually loses its color, and at the end of a few months is scarely perceptible. Only a small area is to bo treated at one time, and powdered tannin is the simple dressinjr to be employed. New York Tribune. Don't "Wound Helpless People. An out of town visitor, a most charmlug woman, was so Kind as to observe, wune we sat around a friend's lunch table, that we appeared to have no "scandals" in our village; in fact, that our "society talk" was lacking in piquancy; in short, that we were "dull." We all smilingly accepted her. commen dation, together with its implications, but one of us started nervously as she added gayly: "Are you positive that you have no skeletons in your closets? jSotoneof you or yours ran off and married her father's coachman?" The perturbation came by reason of the trim little waitress who stood at the speaker's elbow. She had been quietly ab sorbing the conversation, and now her cheeks were burning. How would any of the guests have felt had the class in which she belonged been spoken of m that tone. The remark was surely inopportune, to 6ay the least, in the presence of a "coach man's" sister, as was this waitress the sweetheart, too, of a coachman. I have more than once been surprised, annoyed by the carelessness of visitors in their conversation before servants the heedlessness of those who reckon them selves gentlefolk and who certainly ought to take their obligations more seriously and thoughtfully. The discussion of the "servant question" is in itself suincientiy tedious as a topic of talk, but it becomes unpardonable when a woman rehearses her domestic grievances in the hearing of a friend's maids. The very fact that the waitress can make no reply puts her in a position which any right minded person should respect. Phil adelplua Press. An Accomplished Cobbler. "I believe the finest shoemaker in tho world is the one employed by the gov ernment at the West Point Military academy," said an army officer. "He has been there time out of mind.'is old and bent and gray, but the shoes he still makes for the cadets haven't their equal in shape and durability. The cadet, you know, is supplied with four pairs of shoes a dancing shoe made of morocco, a furlough shoe made of the finest calf skin, a nniform shoo made of calfskin, but with a thick sole, and a winter shoe made of cowhide. When I left West Point I carried my cowhide shoes with me. I marched every foot of the way from Fort Leavenworth to Fort Bayard, a distance of 1,800 miles, in the cowhide shoes. That long tramp didn't phase them, and I have them yet, good as new." St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Plenty Like Her. Mrs. Spanker I wish to get a house in a quiet neighborhood.

Among the most valuable of the stone ware utensils are the rollingpins, which seem to come Bearer, to solving the prob lem of a'rollingpin than any other. A wooden rolllngpin is certainly not all that could be desired. It is not cold, it is apt to become rough, and it is always an ab sorbent of grease, and seeds to be repeated ly scrubbed to be kept clean. Paste can not stick to a roller of stoneware, it is so highly glazed. It is nearly as cold as mar ble and far better, because It is lighter. The plate glass rollingpins which were in troduced by some ingenious inventor some years ago, and which were intended to b filled with cracked ice in order to chilj them, proved to be a failure. As on any glass dish containing ice water, beads of moisture settled on the outside when the rollingpin was filled, and a drop of moisture, as every expert paatrj maker knows, is sufficient to injure th best pastry. Yet the 'inventor builded better than he knew. So cool and smooth was his glass rolllngpin that housekeeper! speedily adopted it without the ice filling. Why does not some ingenious inventoi give us a rollingboard of enameled wood, something that is cold on the surface and not too expensive for universal use? Oi has the art of enameling wood never been brought to perfection, like the art of en ameling metal? A marble or slate board is heavy, and a marble pastry table is cumbrous and expensive for famijy use New York Tribune. flea ley k Son, DEALERS IX Staple and Fancy GROCERIES The Hocrestend Inrestigatlon. Washington, Aug. 2. Representa tive Oates, chairman of the sub-com mittee on judiciary, which visited Homestead, Pa., to investigate tho re cent troubles between the strikers and the uarnegie company, has accepted a Giant roinlcr in Tliclr liuots. It is a curious fact that not one miner out of every hundred who has had any experience will do anything but put the sticks of giant powder into his bootlegs. He knows ust about how much giant powder he will need during the shift and theso ho receives before lie enters the The Test of Table Manners. Speaking of favorite dishes the gour met said: "I am daily more convinced of the profundity of Brillat-Savarin's famous dictum 'Dis moi ce que tu manges et je to dirai co que tu es' tell mo what you eat and I will tell you what you are. At hotel table, m restaurant or at the club, if you want to get an in fallible guide to a man's innate disposi tion just note what ho orders and when it is served observe how he eats it It beats palmistry hollow." St. Louis Re public. Search Lights versus Torpedo Boats. It is stated that one of the most effect ive means of protecting a ship in these days of torpedoes (the gronpinir to gether of a number of stationary search lights, each illuminating its own section so that the ship is surrounded by an un broken circle of light), is to be adopted in tho new American warships. This has been suggested bya very pronounced defect in the usual search light practice. In order to afford sufficient time for a ' careful examination of the water's sur face at points removed from the ship, the beam of light must be revolved very slowly, and hence during a great por tion of the time any particular section of the water is left in darkness. As it takes only five minntes for a torpedo boat to run a distance- of two miles, it will be seen that the conditions are all in favor of the attacking force. Before the revolution of the search light is com pleted there is plenty of time for the tor pedo boat to run up and discharge her deadly weapons. New York Telegram. report of evidence taken.

Between 5,000 and 6,009 men met in the market place and after listening to exhortation from their leaders, .marched throuirh tho streets smashing windows and plundering shops. About one -thousand rioters surroundsd the governor's house, and shouted that they had come to kill him for his oppression of the poor. Tho governor fled hi disguise and his house was completely looted. The military were called out.and tried to drive back the mob with fixed bayonets. The mob fought back with pistols and stones and five soldiers were killed. The soldiers then fired a volley, killing sixty and wounding 100 more. About fifteen of the rioters have since died. The city is in an uproar and further trouble is feared. The Plague Spreading. St. Petersburg, Aug. 2. The cholera is said to be spreading in Moscow and the people are very angry with the Grand Dnke'Sergius, governor of Mos cow, both for the failure of the author ities to prevent the nlacrue in that citv and for the harshness with which the local government endeavors to suppress all information as to the extent of the ravages of the eholera.

A Twenty-third street theater has brought out an electrical sunrise. A curved screen, part of which is mado of gauze, so that tho light may shine through, extends around the stage, and behind it is an elaborate system of in candescent lamps. The controlling ap paratus is so graduated that fif ty differ ent degrees of light and shade can be produced, thus causing the sunrise to grow imperceptibly. Another use of tho electric current made at tho same place is in representing tho explosion of a bomb. A paper shell contains just enough powder to explode and make a flash. This is fired by electricity, whilo at the same moment another circuit controlled by the same key sets off a gun behind the scenes, which furnishes the neces sary noise. New York World.

London Spectator. Milk for Children. Milk is gradually being appreciated fo: its hygienic value, and contains all the ele ments necessary for the formation of blood, bone and muscle. Ik is frequently pre scribed by physicians an a remedy in vari ous forms of illness. When pure it is ol infinite service; when tainted it is posi tively dangerous. In one instance in a wealthy family, where a baby was slowly wasting away, a well paid milkman pro vided milk according to the once popnlni fallacy, "frpm one cow." A sample was analyzed, and each teaspoonful was found to contain, in round numbers, half a mil lion bacteria. Immediately the rule wat laid down that all milk given should b sterilized. Since then the child has becomt plump and healthy. If such trouble can arise among the wealthy, how much more probable is its occurrence among the very poor, where ignorance reigns supreme! Those engaged in visiting the poor in cities reveal pitiful cases of poverty, carelessness and ignor ance. Baby's milk is left uncovered all day long in the stifling atmosphere of one living room, placed with other food in a sink, which becomes the refrigerator foi those who cannot afford Ice, and here ab sorbs germs by the millions.

It took ten minutes for the last carriage to roll by, for it was an unusually long procession. As they slowly rolled past, two of those in tho car gave vent to feelings in some such manner as this: "Did yon ever see such foolishness.-" "No, not foolishness, but superstition!" "Do you think so? "Pshaw, can't you see by that gripman's face that he is superstitious? What else can you expect from him?" "He docs look superstitions, doesn't he?"

The American pie has triumphed. There was a time when pio was in dis grace. It was considered an indigesti ble and inexcusable culinary concoction. In England, where it was almost tanta- i i t r f i mount to misprision oi treason to sug gest that plum pudding is too rich to be healthful, pie except perhaps mince pie, which is as rich and dubious as plum pudding was tabooed. But, like tho oppressed of all nations, it found shelter in America, There were New England housewives who made pies which were delicious and comforting to tne inner man, and the pumpkin pie be came associated with tho festival of Thanksgiving in a manner altogether honorable to those who were responsible for "making and uttering" it. Then arose the great American philos opher, Emerson, the most essentially classic type of man who has flourished in this western world, and Emerson ate pie threo times a day. Dr. Johnson used to say that "the man who drinks beer thinks beer." Ralph Waldo Emerson ato pie and thought philosophy. The American pio was vindicated. Milwau kee Wisconsin. Answer Tbis Question.

The dainty tortoise shell toy she so deftly and effectively wields is cither an instrument of coquetry, defense or cruelty. Viewed as the former weapon, it is with out equal in the entire nrecnal of flirta tion's weapons. A skilled coquette can do more damage with it than with the fair.
