Tattooing in France.

The unprooressive and the criminal
class IN civilized countries have many
characteristics IN common with the saw
age. The superstitious beliefs and mag
zeal practices of Scotch and French
peasants can hardly be distinguished
from those of Thhnkeets and Namaquas.
But it rather surprises us, we confess, to
find that, In France at least, the unpro-
gressive classes freely tattoo themselves.
The word tattoo is of South-Sea origin,
and denotes the practice OF covering the
body with punctured designs, generally
in colors. The savages of antique times
--Britains, Germans, Africans, AsIaflcs
-tattooed themselves, as we learn, from
various texts in Harodotus, Tacitus,
Caesar and other authors less renowned,
quoted by M Berceon. in his "Historie
Medicale de Tatouage." The study OF
savage tattooing has double interest I;
it throws light on the early history of
decorative art, and it illustrates the pro-
cess by which almost all savage tribes
come to conceive of themselves as de-
scended from. animals, and afterwards
worked out a rude system of heraldry,
engraving their chests and coat-armor on
their naked bodies. On these topics we
do not propose to enter to-day, but to
follow DIR. Lacassagne's account OF tat
tooirg as n practice in the French army
and by French criminals. 1t may not
be true that if Won catch a Russian you
find Tartar. The experiment might be
dangerous. and many think it superfiu-
Gus. But if you strip French soldier,
especially the soldier who has served IN
Africa, or who has often been under
arrest, you certainly find the tattooed
Aryan. Many pious pilgrims have them
selves tattooed with sacred devices OF
Jerusalem. DR.. Lacassagne has copied
the tatouaoe of a pilgrim who assures
hiIa that the Grand Duke Nicholas was
tattooed at the same time as himself.
There are professional tattooers IN Paris
| and Lyons, who charge one.half franc
for each design. Generally the tattooer
has designs ON paper, and reproduces
these on the skin by a mechanical pro-
| cess. Large designs cost a good deal.
A big Representation of an Indian hold
ing up the flag of the United States
costs the decorated person fifteen francs.
China ink is the coloring substance pre-
ferred, touched up with vermillion. DIR.
Lacassagne has collected / 1888 designs,
tattooed on 378 members of the Second
African battalion, or on men under arrest
in military prisons. Most of the men
were Of the criminal classes, who passed
a good deal of time under arrest, and
therefore had leisure to devote to dec
orative art. Many were tattooed on
on every part of the body, except the
inside of the the thighs.-Pau Mall

Washington Etiquette.

Questions of etiquette are sometimes
very troublesome in Washington, and all
the more because very many of the deni-
zens, of that city, who come from distant
and rural homes, know and care nothing
about etiquette. How little the honor
able gentleman from Symmes' Hole
suspects, as he is asked to take Mrs.
Senator Red Velvet to dinner, that the
chair in which he shall sit, and the lady
whom he shall hand out have been
subjects of long and anxious delibera-
ton 1t is easy to call on Wormley, or
Welcker, or Pinard, or some other cI,ef,
and order dinner for twenty. But who
who shall sit where. and shall hand
whom ?-these are the questions which
cause yexation and anguish. A Cistin-
c1lished official gentleman in Washing-
ton gave a noble repast in honor of
noted guest. It was ordered Of the
proper pul.9Gyor. Q Now, said the.
host, when ne had bade no expense be
spared, ST don't know anything about
the business of seating people correctly.
purveyor went straight to another dis
tinguished man, who had not been in
yited to the dinner because it would not
be agreeable to some other distinguished
man who was invited, and distinguished
man number one was immensely amused
that he was called upon to seat the
guests at dinner to which he was not
himself invited.
1t Is all the more perplexing because,
although Washington is always full of
official persons who are really indifferent
to etiquette, and who greet it with
hearty democratic laugh, yet because
of its official population there has been
from the first especial attention paid by
experts to the subject. Washington
took grave counsel upon it, and Hamil-
ton gave him some canons of behavior
in writing, and there is alleged to be a
more rigid system of social etiquette
among official persons in Washington
than Is to be found In any circle else
where In the country. There are
asserted to be due rules for the "first
calling" of Senators wives, and the
wives of the members of the Cabinet
and of Justices OF the Supreme Court.
Precedence at table is also knotty
point involving great trouble of soul.
Some years ago Senator gave dinner
to which the Secretary of State was in
vited. When dinner was announced,
the host turned to the senior Senator,
the dean of the Senatorial Chamber,
and asked him to take the lady of the
house to the table. The senior Senator
hesitated, saying to his colleague that
the Secretary of State was in the room.
" Pshaw ! we Senators make Secretaries
of State, was the answer and the host
insisted that in his house nobody should
precede the dean of his own body.

Ont of His Year.

While talking with James Milton
Sherrod, the other day, the letter-carrier
pulled out of his pocket very hand
some agate, rounded and worn smooth
by constant use as AN ear ornament. 1t
had hole drilled through the top, and
by a deer's sinew this trinket had for
merly been suspended from the ear OF
some Sioux brave. The work on the
stone showed the crude and patient
efforts of the untutored red man. On
being asked how he secured the agate,
Mr.. Sherrod, whiting off some black
tobacco with butcher knife, rubbed 1t
in the palm of his hand a while, and
then, after putting it in his pipe and
trying Intellectually for long time to
light it, said
