Show I k 0 TIFE SALT LAKE TIMES, FRIDAY. JANUARY 30, 1891 J j In diplomatic Hkil! and success contem-porary public opinion held him the first man of his period thut is to say, forhiilf a century the first man in Europe. As to real influence on affairs, it is doubt-ful if any minister since can be Raid to have exerted as much, with the excep-tions only of Bismarck and Cavour. Even they did not cover go wide a range, or deal with such a bewildering variety of negotiations, extending over so great a time, and furthering the views of so many musters. Whitelaw Iteid in Cen-tury. Talleyrand' Ifenlarkahlo Career. Talleyrand has been dead fifty-tw- o fears. The first volumes of the memoirs he left are issued. lie himself forbade their publication nntil thirty years after his death, nnd at that date his literary executors fo'md a further postponement necessary. He was thought to be the depository of more secrets than any other man ut his day, with ffrca'.er power over the reputations of more men, living and dead. Naturally these memoirs were long awaited with a singular mixture of curiiwiiy and alarm. The career these memoirs portray was nnd remains unparalleled in modern Km nr.e fur length and variety of dis- - timruished service. Beginning with Louis XVI. from whom he received his first appointment, and from whom he went later with a letter to the king of England, Talleyrand served in all eight known masters liesides a great number of others who were at one timo or another said to have him secretly in their pay. He liecatne president of the Constituent assembly which organized the French revolution. Ho was sent to London on ' a secret mission with a passport from ' Danton. He was minister of foreign affairs under the directory, under the consulate, under Louis XVIII and under j Louis Philipi. ,', . .. ' B USINESS DIRECTORY. f'IRSTCLASS ADVERTISERS CITY.

It has often been claimed that tattoo marks may be removed by pricking over them goat's milk. This is a mistaken idea. Chemists and others have for years exi'rimented with various preparations in the hope of discovering somo agent to wholly remove iiuha ink marks from the human skin. Nothing, however, has as yet been found that will remove a por-tion even of the objectionable marks, un- - less, possibly, the attempt lie made im- - mediately following tho tattooing proc-- 1 ess. At Mount Washington University hospital, Baltimore, an experiment was some years ago made in the presence of the writer upon tho forearm of a noted character of that city who died there. j Deforo his death the man granted per--' mission to tho students of tho university to experiment as they saw fit with his dead body. One .if these students, curi-ous to learn everything possible connect-ed with tho practice of tattooing, cut from the dead man's arm a strip of skin upon which a coatof arms appeared. Be-neath the tikin tlw design remained visi-ble. By degrees the flesh wan removed, tho design in indis ink still remaining in sight until finally the bone was reached. After a thorough sponging for the pur-pose of removing tho blood and pieces of flesh remaining, it was found that the representation still appeared. After cut-ting away a small section of the bone the india ink mark was found to have not penetrated beyond. Boston Commercial Bulletin. The Twin Coat lluttons. For many years tho two buttons havo figured at the waist line of tho back of the man's skirt or frock coat. Now, why are they there? For ornament and effect? Not so, originally, for these two buttons were at their beginning for service and not for decoration. If you put their inception back into the time when the big squnra art embroidered and gorgeously lined overcoats were worn, two centuries ago, and when tho gallants of tho time were wont to go forth on dress pnrndo with the sword at the side and ready to resent any in-formality of etiquette, you will find that in order to reach the side arm more readily the skirts of the coat were turned back in a reverse shaped way and but-toned or loopd upon two buttons at the back placed as theso are at the present day. In this way they secured an immunity from drapery when tho command camo, "Draw and defend thyself," and at the j same timo exploited a segment of the rich itiidn of tho skirt of the coat in very effective way. Tho tinsel, the side arm, tho court etiquette, the duello and the gorgeous flowered texture of the coat have gone before, but thoso two buttons remain on tho tail coats of to day, a suggestion of that period of laces, brocades und romance. Lewistou Jour-nal. A Wonderful Shoe Miapcil Violin. The Talis Figaro announces the sale rf one of the most curious violins known to the music fanciers of the world. It is now on exhibition in Paris, where tho American tourist 'can tako a peep at it fvr a few centimes. It formerly to Iigiinini, the great violinist, und at first sight, merely presents the appearance of h misshapen wooden shoe, lis history in curious. During tho win-to- r of IXi ragjinini was living in a maison de saute called Lcs .N'eothermes, 4- - litHM'le hi Victoria. One day a large box was brought here by the Normandy diligence, on opening which ho found Inclosed two inner boxes, find, wrapped carefully in several folds of tissue paper, a wooden shoe and a letter stating that the writer, having heard much of tho wonderful genius of tho violinist, begged, as a proof of his devotion to music, that I'aganini would play in pub-lic on the oddly constructed instrument inclosed. At first Paganini felt this to be an im-pertinent satire, and mentioned tho facts, with some show of temper, to his friend, tho Chevalier do I lurid p. The latter took this hoe to a violinmaker, who converted it info a remarkably ewoet toned instrument. Paganini was pressed to try the shoe violin in public, lie not only did so, but performed upon it some of his most difticult fantasias, which facts, in the handwriting of tho violinist, are now to 1x3 seen on the curi-ous violin. Knots on Trees. In the barks of our forest trees are contained a multitude of latent buds, which are developed and grow under certain favorable conditions. Somo trees possess this prorerty in a remarkable degree, and often, when the other parts are killed dowu by frost, the property of ' pushing ont those latent buds into growth preserves the life of the plant, These btiils. having once liegun to grow, adhere to the woody layer at their base, und push out their points through the bark toward the light. The buds then unfold and develop leaves, which elaborate the sap carried up the small shoot. Once elaborated, it descends by tho bark, when it reaches the baso or inner bark. Here it is ar-rested, so to speak, and deposited be-tween the outsido and inner layer of bark, as can be learned on examining specimens on th3 trees in the woods almost anywhere. Science Gossip, ' , Leather Rrnke Shoes. A company lias been formed in New South Wales fo? tho purpose of exploit-ing tho manufacture of railway brake shoes from compressed leather. Waste leather scraps are steeped in a solution and subjected to a hydraulic pressii to mold them to any desired shape. The leather shoe is said to possessdistinct ad- - vantages over that of iron, with superior :. t'fticiency in every way. The leather shoe weighs 4t pounds against 21 pounds for iron, and it will wear three times as long. More than this, it has a greater coethcient of friction, so that forty pounds of air pressure is as effect- - ivo as seventy pounds with iron brake i fchoes. There is one benefit which the introduction of the leather brake shoe would confer on communities which are subjected to the necessary evil of tho elevated railroads. They wonld thus bo spared tho dangerous shower of iron particles, which now in- - jure so many eyes. An attempt basal- - ready been made to nemedy this serious source of danger by the use of com-- ; pressed paper. This, however, was found to be impracticable. It is earnest- - j ly to be hoped that the new shoe will stand tho test of practical work. New York Commercial Advertiser. , A Smart Tenth. One enterprising youth made tho phe-nomenal record of ''knocking down' $25 a day while in charge of a construction train, which, it need hardly bo said, is never supposed to carry passengers. Under the rigid rules of the average auditing department it is doubtful whether money turned in from such a source would be accepted by the presid-ing Kolons. I'ut tho carrying of passengers fell tinder the eye of the construction de-partment and a dismissal followed. Dis-charged for this violation of rules, our promising financier the ser-vice on another division of tho road, whero his industry and patience were rewarded in timo with a passenger train. It would appear that he stood better in the confidence, of his superiors than in that of his fellow conductors, 'i the more cynical of whom expressed doubts about tho company's ever getting the train back after he had left town with it. Frank II. Keanmm in Har-per's Weekly. Hard to Suit. People sometimes havo good ground to complain of their grocers, and not unfreqnently the grocers have roasou to complain of unjust criticisms on tho ' part of their customers. One Saturday evening, when there was quite a crowd of purchasers in a grocery in one of tho suburbs of an eastern city, a gentleman came in in a blustering mood. "See here," he said to the proprietor, "that fancy creamery butter of yours tastes of the firkin." "I don't see how that can be," an-- j swered the grocer, "for I keep that but--j ter in glass jars."

What might readily havo been mis-taken for a character out of one of Dicjf-eu- s' novels stumped through tho cabins of a Williamsburg ferry boat yesterday with the assistance of a crutch and cane, ami, having succeeded in attracting the attention of everylKniy, addressed the as-semblage as follows: "Ladies and gentlemen, which it ia asking your pardon to bestow on yours truly a little assistance, which I am a cripple at tho present time for the last six months; which I am afflicted with a very bad pain, principally in my side, which in consequence I can't work. Ariythiuk you choose to give, which however small it may be, will be thank-fully received by yours truly as you pa.ss out."

New York Evening Sun. Wealthy People Who Rise Early. People who rise late in the morning nay not know thut a large proportion of tho citizens of J,"ew York are up and moving briskly about long before tho average man h;is hud his breakfast. A cnrioi's thing about it, too, is that the people who rise early in the morning be-long very often to what is known s tho "leisure class."

As early as 7;W in the morning millionaires and the high lights of society may be seen on horse-back, on wheels and afoot in the park or on the avenues taking exercise and air in order to keep their figures trim and their color good. The only neighbors they have at that hour are truck drivers and laborers going off to work. New York Wwrld. Queer Things in the Ieul Letter Ofllre.
