Talleyrand haa been dead fifty-two ('ears, tne nrst volumes of the memoirs ie left are issued. He himself forbad their publication nntil thirty years after a'h, and at that data his literary pxecutor found a further postponement necessary. He was thought to be the depository of mere secrets than any other man of his day, with greater power oret the reputations of more men, living and dead. Naturally these memoirs were long awaited with a singular mixture of curiosity and alarm. The career these memoirs nortrav was and remains unparalleled in moden Europe for length and variety of dis tinguished 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 besides a great number t others who were at one time or another aaid to have him secretly in their pay. He became president of the Constituent assembly which organized the French revolution. He was sent to London on a secret mission with a passport from Dan ton. He was minister of foreign affairs under the directory, under the consulate, under Louis XVIII and under Louis Philippe. In diplomatic skill and success contem porary public opinion held him the first man of his period that is to say, for half a century the first man in Europe. Aj to real influence on affairs, it is doubt ful if any minister since can be said to have exerted as much, with the excep tions only of Bismarck and Cavour. Even they did not cover so 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 masters. Whitelaw Reid in Cen tury. Tattoo Mark Irroasovabla. 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 experimented with various preparations tn tne hope of discovering some agent to wholly remove india 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 lets, possibly, the attempt be made im mediately following the tattooing proc ess. At Mount Washington University hospital, Baltimore, an experiment was some years ago made in the presence of tne writer upon the forearm of a noted character of that city who died there. Before his death the man granted per mission to the students of the university to experiment as they saw fit with his dead body. One of these students, curi ous to learn everything possible connect ed with the practice of tattooing, cut from the dead man's arm a strip of skin upon which a coat of arms appeared. Be neath the skin the design remained risi ble. By degrees the flesh was removed, the design in india ink still remaining in sight until finally the bone was reached. After a thorough sponging for the pur pose of removing the 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. KnoU oa Tree. In the barks of our forest trees are contained a multitude of latent bads, which are developed and grow under certain favorable conditions. Some trees possess this property in a remarkable degree, and often, when the other parts are killed down by frost, the property of pushing out these latent bads into growth preserves the life of the plant These buds, having once begun to grow, adhere to the woody layer at their base. and push out their points through the bark toward the light ' The buds then unfold and develop leaves, which elaborate the sap carried np the small shoot Once elaborated.' it descends by the bark, when it reaches the base or inner bark.

' Hard to Salt. People sometimes have good ground to complain of their grocers, and not unfrequently the grocers have reason to complain of unjust criticisms on the part of their customers. One Saturday evening, when there was quite a crowd of purchasers in a grocery in one of the 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. " ' m; "I don't see how that can be, an swered the grocer, "for I keep that bat ter in glass jars."
