,Iuuancse Passion for Tattooing.

The Japanese have acquired such a
passion for being tattooed that law has
been passed forbidding the marking of
natives. The law does not apply to for
eigners. 1t is quite the thing now to be
tattooed, and elaborate designs are traced
On many travellers as an indelible rem
iniscence of their sojourn in the east.
The sons of the prince of Wales, when
here a few years ago, were tattooed, and
several Russian dukes and sprigs of TO
bility have undergone the process. T'he
son of Lcngfellow recently submitted to
q very elaborate tattoo decoration, and
for more than three months was in the
hands of the tattooer, who did an amount
of work on him during this time that is
usually spread over a period of three or
four years. This caused of course, Sc

Problem OF q Commercial Pole.

Chief Engineer Melville, in = recent
lecture, described the Arctic outfits nee
sssary for explorers and the mistakes
made in making them too heavy. He
said: II have slept comfortably on top
of sled in sleeping bag with the ther-
uometer 100 degrees below the freezing
point of water"
The Arctic sleeping bags, he explained,
were worn with the hair inside, thus re-
versing nature. It was the only fur
clothing worn that way. He thought
the very idea of unlimited appropriations
by congress caused an Arctic e1-
pedition to be loaded down with
The worthless rubbage of every crank
in the land. His sleeping bag weighed
eleven pounds. The Greely expedition
bags weighed twenty-five pounds-ele-
CANT things to sleep in, but death to those
who attempted to carry them" In con-
clusion the chief engineer said that with
his knowledge, born of experience, he
expected at some future day to conduct
a party in safety to the Arctic regions,
and to find grand, public spirited man
Of vast means who would aid him in
solving the problem of commercial

A Pixies Tenacity of Fife.

It is reported that young pike which
was recently sent from Holland to Paris
packed in ice showed signs of life on
reaching its destination, and that not
withstanding it had been three days out
of water, and frozen stiff, it was resusci-
tated, and is now swimming about in a
tank in the Trocadero aquarium. Which
goes to show that the theory of Benjamin
Franklin and others that animation may
be suspended by freezing and restored by
thawing at any time suiting tue purposes
of the operator-a theory heretofore sup
posed to have been whimsically con-
ceived-may have something in it after
all.-Harper's Weekly.

Candy Shops Of Otl.er Lands.

In the matter of confections, by the
way, New York, speaking after the man
ner of men beats the world. They hardly
know what candy is in London, where
still obtains the antique and exploded
superstition that it is a sort of pap pecu-
liarly suited to and designed for infancy.
A country where ice cream is a rare and
novel compound, sold at fabulous prices
and by the wine-glass full, presents to
the American Imagination difficulties in
the way of courtship and marriage which
might be expected to seriously check the
natural increase of the population; but
the untraveled Englishman has never yet
learned that sweets to the sweet is the
proper method of bombarding maiden
hearts, and he seems to get the necessary
preliminaries settled some way in a
goodly number of cases unassisted by any
softer gastronomic influences than are
shed by his own indgestible plum pud-
ding.
The candy shops there are small and
humble places where the proprietor
gladly exchanges portion of his simple
goods for penny, or even a fraction
thereof, instead of refusing, as do our
brilliant and lordly confectioners, to ne
yotiate for less than half pound of COM
pounds ranging from 80 cents to 81
pound. The idea of such airs in such a
business would be laughed to scorn. In
Paris they are in these respects somewhat
more civilized, and. indeed it was from
Paris that we learned our early lessons in
the worship of sugar, but we have now
far outstripped our teachers both in the
number and splendor of the shops and in
the expensiveness and variety of our con-
fections.-New York Graphic.

No Ancle-Nyorlns in Florida Sand.

A northern settler in Florida complains
of O certain poverty of the soil there.
The fishermen, he says, find no angle
worms. Recently he imported num-
Der of the ruddy specimens, such as the
northern boy digs box full of in few
minutes, when he wants to 60 fishing,
out of the earth behind the barn. They
were sent on in a wooden pail filled with
loan, and the settler, boring a few holes
in the pail, set it in Florida ground.
The worms did not go out exploring
through the holes, as they might have
done, but remained closely punched up
in the exact center of the pail; and at
the end of a few weeks they had become
almost as colorless as the sand feas of
the sea shore.-Harper's Weekly.

Shoes Uused In the Antipoaes.

There isn't much show for our leather
or our manufactured shoes in Australia.
The people have good-sized, civilized feet.
and they produce more leather than they
want. They: have reduced to a sci
ence the manufacture of leather
from skins of the native ami
mails, and as long as the lat

any market for US. The skin of the kan
garoo is much used, but the Australians
do not discriminate much, and carve up
their native bears, or ruthlessly destroy
the bandicoot (the native pig) or the
dingo or native dog, so that all tastes
may be suited in leather. The fashion
able slippers are made from the skins of
the platypus, and are highly priced. The
people in New Zealand don't 60 much

just the thing. In South New Zealand

Pronunciation of "veni, vidi, yici."

The pronunciation Of Latin, as now

lesque to those who learned Latin twenty

A Couple that Enjoyed the Lecture.

A Couple that Enjoyed the Lecture.
A railroad blockade recalls a story that
a distinguished Maine gentleman tells
against himself. Some years ago he was
making a journey down east when his.
train became snowbound. It was then
evening, and there was no hope of pro-
gress until daylight. But nearby was a
little village which boosted a public hail.
1t was suggested that the passengers adj
iourn to the hall and listen to an address
by their distinguished fellow traveller.
He finally consented to do his part; the
hall was warmed and lighted, and the lee
turer took his place. The next day the
gentleman was approached by q sturdy
young yeoman who said,-
stYou're the man who made the speech
last night, amt you2"
The identity having been established,
he went on

SCRAPS.

The brain of a lioness has been dis

The air of different places seems to
Fary little in its proportions of oxygen
and nitrogen, air lately brought from
Cape Horn being about like that OF
France.
Signor Bombicci supposes the detona-
ton of meteors to be that of an explosive
gas formed during the surface heating of
the mass in the atmosphere, and accum-
lating chiefly in the vacuous space left
behind the mass in its very swift flight.
Late investigations indicate that the
%chlorophyll, or green coloriug substance
of the leaves, is most liable to pick
up metallic matter absorbed by the roots
of plants. When vines have been ma
aured with sulphate of copper, most of
the metal is deposited in the leaves,
merely a doubtful trace appearing in the
Juice of the grapes. Tea-leaves contain
much iron, doubtless due to the ochre-
GUS soil on which they best grow.
Cotton is not a fibre, but a plant hair.
It holds to be spun into a thread because
of peculiar twists in each hair, shown
under the microscope, especially in polar
lied light. Linen thread may be spun
| because the fax fbres have certain rough
| ness on their surfaces, which enables them
to cling together. Hence it is impossible
to make as fine linen as cotton cloth, but
it is much stronger.
A California paper relates that on a
farm near Smelling, in MERGED county,
there is a we'll 1853 feet deep in solid rock,
which constantly sends up a large volume
of air. When a rain-storm or a strong
wind is impending, the volume of escap-
ing air increases SO as to roar audibly.
The well cover is FURNISHED with a vent.
| By the closing of this for a few minutes,
the confined air receivers sufficient force,
when liberated, to make a noise like the
escaping steam of a locomotive. The
well furnishes an abundance of excellent
water.
Astronomical textbooks place the
suns density at a little more than thai
of water, but in a recent lecture MIR. J.
Norman Lockyer, the English astronomer,
expressed the opinion that the sun really
has not more than one-eighth the density
of water. If this view be correct, the SUI

successful CoEored Men.

A Washington letter to the Chicago

more or less fortunes during their careers

the wealthiest. He has a large planta-

property in Washington, and has sonae
fine farming lands in the West. Elk
Senator Bruce is another wealthy colored
man, and, like Lynch and Douglass, has
made all his money by his WI exertions
