A TattOoed TramD.

The singular practice of marking the
skin iudelibly with pictures and designs
is very common among savageS, but it
has largely died ont among civilized
human beings except sailors. 1t is not
altogether foolish recklessuoss which
leads the sailor to submit to such mark
ing, for, travelling all about the world as
he does, his tattoo marks serve to iden-
tify him inland.
Not long ago London tramp was ar
rested for drunkenness. He was found
by policeman climbing lamp-post to
get a drinkn--certainly a singular place
to find it. lie was found when searched
to be tattooed from his shoulders to his
feet. The police thus described his
marks:

with house pigeons, anchor and chain,
haystack, fishes and trees, a man drinking,
a sheep, a pig, the Union Jack, the
Prince of Wales feathers, an anchor, two

other soldier wearing a red coat, cross
flags and bayonet, drum and sticks, a
pile of shot, w. f., a gun, another gun

sign, sailors, ship, a cross and large
fish, a sailor with crossed flags, and

Original Use of Steeples.

In speaking of the usefulness of church
stecplcs, we would not have it under
stood that their only use has been in
connection with the bells. Along the
coast there can be no doubt that they
were often used as beacons before the in
PRODUCTION of light houses. At IIappis-
burgh, in Norfolk, lofty stee ple-alas !
too near the grasping waves-has
had its steps well nigh worn away by
the continual traffic to its summit. We
all know. too, how broad and fierce
the star came forth on Ely's stately fame, {"
when the country became alarmed at the
approach of the Spanish Armada. Now
adays our stecples are made to serve
more utilitarian purposes in carrying
vancs, weathcrcocks and t1agstatIs. AL
though very rarely indeed met with in
the churches themselves, ancient fire.
places are by no means uncommon in
stecples. They are usually on the first
floor, and have tlues going to the top in
the thickness of the wall. 1t has never
been satisfactorily proved for whose use
they could have been intended. Some
have supposed that such towers as have
them must at some time or other have
been Watch-towcrs; but in remote inland
districts it seems more reasonable to sup
pose that recluscs dwelt in such places
With bare walls and narrow loopholes
they must have been at all times
wretched habitations; but picture, if
you can, such an abode on windy
night. The gloomy surroundings, the
howl of the blast, the perpetual whistling
in the turret- staircase, the cracking of
the tree-tops, a sense of loneliness in all
this uproar. Can any situation be more
conducive to madness; But nowadays
we mount our steeples only to repair the
bell-gear or to hoist the flag. Queer.

At carnival in Denver, Col, all the

In the days of chivalry the champions

1t seems to have been the fashion, as
far back as the thirteenth century, to or

1t was supposed in ancient times that
all mines of gold were guarded by evil

a legend.
An old carpet was taken up from q
San Francisco room the other day and

There is in New Granada a curious
vegetable product, known under the
name Of the ink plant. Its juice can be
used in writing without any previous
preparation. The letters traced with it
are of reddish color at first, but turn a
deep black in few hours. This juice
also spoils steel pens less than the com
mon ink.
In the plains of India at the commence
ment of the monsoon, storms occur in
which the lightning runs like snakes all
over the sky at the rate of three or four
flashes in second, and the thunder
roars without break for frequently one
or two hours at time. Yet it is very
rare that any tree or animal is struck by
the electric current.
The private buildings of ancient Egypt
were unimportant compared with its re
ligious architecture. This is explained
by the excessive subjugation of the PEG
pie to a monastic ritual, and to 1.-The ia
vorable character Of the Egyptian elm

ton, and Egypt. with Its ever-cloudless
sky and constant temperature, required
no protection against the inclemency of
the weather. the climate did not force
man to spend his days within doors, nor
did it destroy the lightest shelter
When, after the battle of Ncwbury,
Charlie. |. came to Southwell with q few
followers, he went into the shop of a
shoemaker named Lee to be measured for

in his hand, and looking at the king at
tcntively, the shoemaker refused to pro-
coed, giving as a reason that he was the
customer of whom he had been warned
the night before in dream as one doomed
to destruction, and that those who
worked for him would never thrive. The
forlorn manarch, adds the narrator, ut
tered an ejaculation expressive Of his
resignation to the will Of Providence,

''Eurekal I have had an adventure at

81 was seated this morning before my

Tim had gone off on another excursion into

peering round the corner of my white sun

upon me, but upon the canvas ! was paint

"Not in the least surprised, thought to
myself, AT last The caravan has exercised
its spell upon the district, and the usual audi
ence is beginning to gather. So went tran
GULLY on with my work, and paid no more
attention.
presently, however, fatigued with my
work, INDUCED in great yawn, and rose
to stretch myself. then perceived that my
audience was more select than numerous, con-
sisting of only one Individual young per-
son in Welsh chimney-pot hat Closer OBJ
servation showed me that said hat was set on
head of closely cropped, curly black hair,
beneath which there shone brown, boyish
face, freckled with sun and wind, pair of
bright black eyes, and laughing mouth with
two rows of the whitest of teeth. But the
face, though boyish, did not belong to boy.
The young person was dressed in an old cot
ton gown, had colored wooden shawl or
scarf thrown over the shoulders, and wore
thick wooden stockings and rough shoes, the
latter many sizes too large The gown was
too short for the wearer, who had evidently
outgrown it; it reached emily just below the
knee, and, when the young person moved,
one caught a glimpse OF something very
much resembling dilapidated garter.

dent has appointed the following named

The president has now considered all
the cases of presidential postmssters
which have been presented to his attention.
He has made 47 appointments, of which
374 were to vacancies caused by expiration
Of terms or designations, and 1893 in place Of
suspended postmasters. Every case of sus-
pension has been carefully considered
upon the evidence, in pursuance
OF the same principles by
which he was guided in the beginning and
large number of solicited removals have
been refused, including some during his last
consideration of cases Thursday, because
the proofs were not such as in his Judgment
warranted removals.
The president has also made the follow
ing appointments: To be secretary OF the
territory of New Mexico, George W. Lane
of Buffalo n Y. To be agent,
for the Indians: Joseph Emery
Of Oregon, at the Klamath agency
Oregon; Charles H Potter, of Nebraska, al
tho Omaha aud Winnebago agency in Ne
braska; William f. Spald ing, of Nebraska
Mt the Santee agency, Nebr aska; Robert l.
agency in the Indian territory.
A. G. Sharpe, chief postoffice inspector
has rendered his resignation to take effec
at once, and the postmaster general has &C
copied it, This action is entirely voluntary
on the part of Mr.. Sharpe. He tendereC
his resignation after Mr. Villas became post
master general, but was requested to with
draw it and assist in the reorganization of hi
branch of the service. He will engage il
the practice of law at Chattanooga, Tenn
Mr.. James Maynard will take MIR. Sharpe
place temporarily and it is probable no per
manent appointment will be made till mex
autumn.
Professor Hilgard's resignation has beel
rendered as superintendent Of the coast sur
yey, TO take effect at once.
The president has amended the civil
service rules so as to include medical exam

The Government to Take Charge OF His
Shipyards and Finish the Cruisers.
WASHINGTON CITY Aug. s-Secretary
Whitney, after consulting John Roach's as
signees, has ordered the chiefs of the naval
bureaus of construction and steam engineer
ing to take possession of the unfinished
cruisers Chicago, Boston, and Atlanta, and
to proceed to complete them using the con-
tractors plant, machinery and materials,
and at the contractors risk. In explanation
of his action, the secretary says;
The order is made in pursuance of my
duties under the eleventh clause of the CON
tract. Under that section there is to follow
an inventory showing to what point of COM
pletion the vessels have come, what
material is on hand in the con-
tractors yard which has been provided
for the ships and how far the work has pro-
gresssd, to be followed by a valuation OF
these things. There is then provision that
the department shall decide whether to COM
plete the ships As the matter
now stands, there is no ques-
tion of my duty to 60
on and do this, and it works an incidental
benefit, of course, to the contractor and to
his employees. The government steps into
the yard, takes possession of the ships, the
plant, ETC., pays for the completion
and then has an accounting with the con-
tractor at the end, and if there is any profit
the contractor has it, and if there is any
loss he pays it. Under those circumstance
it is entirely fit for the heads of the bureaus
having the. supervision of the work to use
the contractors force and his plant for the
purpose
