How to Efface Tattoo Marks.

Europeans who have been foolish
enough, either in youth or age, to tat
too themselves like Fiji Islanders, Pata-
gonians, or any other race of pictur-
csuue sayages, may be interested to hear.
that DR.. Variot, of Paris, has discovered
a simple but effective method of remov-
ing red or blue pictorial devices from
the human skin. Mr. Eariot has en-
bodied the results of his experiments in
an elaborate treatise on tattooing in an
cient and modern times, which has been
sent to the Paris Biological Society.
Further, the doctor has experimental
on prisoners in the Central Infrmary, to
which he is attached, and on hospital
patients, all of whom have, of course,
offered themselves voluntarily for the
operations. Mr.. Eariot has also tested
the efficaciousness of his method in re-
moving black or brown beauty.spots OF
moles from the skin of animals, and has
found it eminently successful. His mo.
dus operandi is to prick the marks OF
spots with needles until the blood flows,
then to in cct tannin, and finally to eau
terize with nitrate of silver. Very little
Inconvenience is felt by the person
operated upon, unless Of course, the
marks extend over large surface. The
wounds caused by the pricking and eau
tcrization become black for time, then
turn red, and after month or so the
parts which have been treated are almost
indistiuguishable from the adjoining

20 through, covered perhaps by grease
or vasaline, is pushed into the hole. The
little girl may 60 around for week or
two with a dirty string or straw IN her
car; the lobe is swollen and looks ugly,
but never mind, it will add to her
beauty in the end. The wound may be-
come very much inAamed, so that an abb
cess of the lobe may take place, and when
this is cured the ear may be distigured
for life. The lobe may be shrunken in
consequence, or the hole may be too
large. This, perhaps, does not happen
very frequently, but 1t nevertheless hap
pens, and the work has to be repaired,
if possible, by the surgeon. 1t is pity
that this operation cannot be relegated to
surgery. Surgeons operate daily Tor
cosmetic effects; why may they not do
this? 1t would be prophylexis rather
than cure.
Some women will insist upon wearing
heavy pendant earrings. These, by their
weight, will enlarge the hole and make
the lobe unsightly. The surgeons knife
has also been required to remedy this
evil. These pendant earrings are very
apt to catch in drapery. In this way
the lobe may be torn through. Such
accidents have been known to happen.
It is gratifying to know that pendant
earrings are less frequently worn now
than formerly. The concensus of opinion
seems to be in favor of those that lie
close to the ear-that do not hang down.
A silver leaf or diamond drop set into
the pink of a well-shaped lobe is q
"thing of beauty and joy forever. "

Uses Of S0apstOne.

Ihave for sometime experimental with
a material called Chinese soapstone as a
substitute for the ordinary metallic pig
ments usrd in paints, and have found
this soapstone to possess qualities highly
calculated to prove an eilectual remedy
against the danger OF rust. In China,
soapstone is largely used for preserving g
structures built of sandstone and other
stones which are liable to crumble under
atmospheric influences, and the covering
of powdered soapstone in the form OF
paint on some obelisks in China, which
were hewn out OF stone liable to suffer
from atmospheric influences, has been
known to preserve the same intact Tor
hundreds OF years. Soapstone may
be said to have extraordinary qualities
in withstanding atmospheric Influences
which have a great deal to do with the
corrosion OF steel and iron, for it is well
known that the inside of steamer,
which is not exposed to the lncessant
action of salt water, like the bottom,
corrodes very much more quickly than
the outside. Soapstone has, however,
another quality which eminently adapts
it as a protective paint on ships, and tnat
is the extreme tinencss OF its gam.
Ground soapstone is one OF the fnest
materials which can be produced, and
from the experiments which have made
| have found nothing to take hold of
the fibre of iron and steel so easily aud
firmly as soapstonc. 1t is, moreover,

COUNTRY EVENING.

Away from sounding shore and mountain
side,
Icame to where country village lies;
And here I watch the moon rise through the
trees,
And sit at rest beneath the summer skies.
The twilight thckens fast, and now the birds
Are sleeping; hushed are all their happy
calls.
Across the village green the parish church
Stands, ivy-clad, with moonbeams on its
walls.
The house-dog, lying near me- starts to hear
The restless horses neighing in their stalls;
The cricket chirps above the willows sigh,
While fits the bat where deepest shadow
falls.
The night wears on; the village lies asleep;
My soul drinks deep draught OF perfect
rest;
Old dreams come back mid future visions
fair;
Old loves awake that slumbered in the
breast.
On such night the soul is free, and fees
The world of care, and pain and troubled
sigh;
And could sing that deep, sweet peace, the
song
Would rise to angels ears and thrill the
sky.

A Cat Kills q Hawk.

An immense hawk, which had for
some days been trying in vain tor a
chance to swoop down on Simon Clsy's
poultry yard at Lock Haven, Penn, and
capture q chicken, resolved to make q
dinner on something belonging to Clay,
and pounced upon Maltese cat that was
summing itself in the back yard. The
hawk lifted the cat easily enough, and
was moving awa;, when the cat recov-
cred from its surprise and began to
squirm and claw. Feathers began to
tumble out of the hawk in showers, and
the big bird, which had reached height
of 1OJ feet with its unusual prey, seeing
that he had caught tartar, loosed its
talons, and the cat dropped toward the
earth like plumb bob.
The hawk must have been wcefully
hungry, for it swooped down on the cat
and seized it again before it reached the
ground. That was good thing f"r the
cat, for if it had struck the earth at the
rate it was going all nine of its lives
would have gone out at once. But this
second capture was bad for the hawk.
He grabbed the cat near the tail, and
had hardly recovered himself sufficiently
to resume his upward flight, when the
cat, filled with fury, twisted around and
reached for the hawk with her claw.
She caught the big birds throat in hsr
teeth and set the claws of her forefeet
deep in the feathers of his neck. That
was the end of the fight. The hawk
no,nded and Honned with his great
wipps. but it was OF no use. His wind
was effectualIy shut off and he fluttered
to the ground with the cat, and by the
time the two reached the earth the big
bird was in his last gasp.
The interesting and novel contest in
midair was witnessed by several persons,
and when they reached the spot where
the combatants came down the cat sat by
the side of its vanquished foe com
placently licking wounds the haWHs
talons had made, which were deep but
not eario,,c

4 Scheme to Remodel the Horse.

A Northumbrian agriculturist gravely
proposes to ''remodel" the horse. which
Mt present appears to him to be too
"stilted." SO he always appears to me,
and unless he gets much nearer to the
grouud than he stands at present, !
shall never patronize the horse again;
The method seems to be very simple, and
beats the efforts OF evolution into fits.
The task he wou' d suggest to breeders"
is to shorten the cannonb bones about one
half. and to give what you take of them
to increase the length of the thigh and
shin BONES" Whether this is TO be done
with q hatchct or some other ingenious
instrument he does not tell us; but sup
posing the operation to he successful, can
it not be applied to human beings9 l
know heaps of PEOPLE who are far 'too
stiltcd," and to whom any alteration on
the lines suggested would be an advan-
tage. At present, except an endeavor
here and there "to take them down q
peg or two," no improvement has been
attcmpted.-NeO York Independent.

first no one seemed able to break the
spell. At last the Colonel spoke:
"We are very glad to know that you
were saved by ocular demonstration,
Mrs. Odell; but how about that scoun-
drcl and his companion in guilt; for she
wal every bit as bad as he: were they
drowned: One could not help hoping
so, except for the sake of the innocent
people in the same boat"
mo" said Mrs. Odell quietly, every
trace of her agitation had passed away
now, and her tone was calm and mex
prcssibly bitter. "We were picked up a
few hours after, having separated from
the others in the fog; but they were also
soon rescued by home bound ,esscl, and
carried back to England. There this
loving husband proved his wfe's death
there were plenty of witnesses, though
none had seen his brutal act, and most
believed, as I afterward heard, that she
was left behind by mistake. He then
proved her will, which he had carried
off the ship with him, and which had
been executed in Madeira within month
of her marriage, leaving him every cent
of her immense wealth. Her relatives, /
understood, made an attempt to upset
the will, but without success, but before
she had been six months dead, he bought
an elegant villa near Florence, aud
married the rescued governess. / never
saw him after that, but I have reason to
believe he is living and prosperous"

wife again?" asked the niece, thought

Mrs. Mortimer, rising languidly from her

SkilIfuI Hocus. .P0cus in Japan.

At recent japanese dinner foreign
guest determined to have no optical de-
iusions about what the juggler did: He
never let his glances be distracted, and
was not once of his guard. Noticing
this, the old juggler played to him en-
tirely. An immense porcelain vase was
brought in and set in the middle of the
room, and the iuggler, crawling up, let
himself down into it slowly. The skep'
tic then sat for half hour without
taking his eyes from the vase that he had
first been convinced was sound and firm
and stood on no trap door. After this
prolonged watch the rest of tho com,
pany assailed him with laughter and
ieers, and pointed to his side, where the
old iuegler was seated. tanning himself,
and had been seated for some minutes:
The skeptic was dumbfounded and
wanted the trick repeated, but the
whole company protested that he had
had fair chance to catch the wizard
and had failed.

BOgus Eggs.

Artificial! eggs have been sod in the
Pittsburg market and offered to the pub
lie In the place of real ones. A woman
walked into the Office of the Board of
Health on Seventh street, with basket
containing four dozens of eggs. ''Not
one has been laid by hen," the woman
exclaimed to one of the health officers.
"What am to do about the matter2"
she then asked
The gentleman picked up an egg,
looked at it, and he then gazed at tho
woman in astonishment, saying: "What
is wrong with the eggs2 They look all
right, and don't see any difference be-
tween them and other eggs. You mean
to say they are manufactured They may
be rotten, but don't think this egg was
made by the mere ingenuity of any hu-
man mind
"You arc just little mistaken" said
the woman, "ard I'll prove it to you.
Look at this egg.'
She took one from the basket and
broke it, aud, when the officers observed
the yolk they were in wonder. The yolk
was similar to that of a real egg, but its
color differed somewhat. being darker
aud of a browner tint. Beside that,
however, the yolk of the fa'se egg con-
sisted of more jelly-like substance. Its
composition appeared to contain gelatine,
ysrup and starch. The white of this manu-
tactured article looks exactly like the
white of the real egg. 1t had the same
transparent appearance and the. imlta-
tion seemsd to be perfect. But the most
puzzling thing is the she |. There is no
difference noticeable to the eye at al,
and it is not wonderful that one should
buy such an egg as real hen fruit.
The egg outside of the yolk is q per-
feet counterpart of anything we see. in
the real egg. The woman bought them
iu the market at thirty cents a dozen.
II would like you to 60 the market
and arrest the man," the woman said to
one of the officials. II do not think he
has any right to sell false eggs as good
ones"
The officer refused, on the ground that
he had no proof of the eggs being in any
way dangerous to the health.

Travelling In Persia.

When we enter Persia we are in the
poor mans paradise-a country where
existence is possible upon I'd. a day;
where meat costs Id. pound, and bread
quarter as much in ordinary times;
where fowl may be purchased for 3d.,
a partridge or wild duck for I'd. where
scrviceable pony can be had for five
pound note and valuable thoroughbred
for $40; where o servant can be hired
for IS. month and his rations, and you
can feed horse on Sd. day. In most
of the cities large house can be rensed
for from SO to $50 year, and all the
necessaries of life are to be had at the
very cheapest rate. The very mules upon
which we are to march to the capital,
each of which will carry load of $50
pounds, al G hired at the rate of I'd. a day;
and yet from this small sum the muleteer,
if he be fortunate, will obtain a good
profit. The beasts are fat, there is plenti-
ful herbage for the first five stages, and
handful OF barley and eight pounds of
cut straw is all that the mules will get
during the other six days journey, and
each day the mules will march their
twenty to twenty-five miles, and go
merrily along under their 300-pound
load, for the great pack-saddle cannot
weigh less than twenty to thirty pounds,
while the load itself is seldom less than
$50, and they will steadily maintain
their pace at an average of four miles an
hour, save in the case of mountain
passes, storms, swamps and the numerous
contretemps incidental to Eastern
travel. The pack saddle is a very i'm
portant part of the mules equipment.
Save when he is currycombed, the pack
saddle never leaves him by day or night;
it supports the load and acts as his
clothing, for, however severe the weather
may be, the hardy Persian mule gets no
other. Of course, the pack-saddle is Of
the most solid construction; its high
peak towers at least eighteen inches
above the withers of the animal, and the
padding is nowhere less than six inches
thick. This padding is composed of cut
straw, and the muleteer is accustomed,
by means of packing needle thrust
through the lining of the pad, to shift
this stuffing in such way as to remove
the pressure from any part Of the AMI.
mails back which may become tender.
Of course, mule with a bad sore back
is useless and has to be turned out to
grass; and, strange to say, though there
are many millions of mules and ponies
used as beasts of burden in Persia-for,
be it remembered, there are no railways,
no rivers, no canals, and only one road,
that from Kasvin to the capital Except q
few tha7e been made for the Shah's per-
sonal convenience still mule with a
sore back is a very unusual sight. This
says great deal for the care, intelligence
and skill of the Persian muleteer. Good

Flowers for Winter.

When one can have only q few. they
should be very choice. Salvias, fuschias,
and selections from the many varieties
of geraniums make very fine appear

plant that pays much better than the
rose geranium.
Begonias are very pretty; the, white,
or the pearl, or the scarlet ones planted
together are beautiful. They do not re.
quire much water, and hardly any sun.
Gala lilies will take all the water you
have the patience to give, but they pay
as they go with their bright, green
leaves as we'll as their regal and fragrant
blossoms. Hyacinths may be grown by
placing the bulbs in slit cut in coarse
sponge, in vase nearly filled with water.
The growth will be rapid, and the vase,
when the hyacinths are in bloom, will be
an OBJ ect OF much interest.

Hoardings Of Years Go Up in Smoke.

Mr. and Mrs. CRUDE arrived in this
country many years ago, and by their in
dustry and economy saved $500, all OF
which on Saturday went up in smoke
through the stovepipe in their home a'
1887 West Twenty-second street.
CRUDE is employed at the malleable
iron works. His wife on Saturday con :
cluded to do some extra washing for the
children, so that they could appear in q
better shape at Sunday school next day.
After lighting big, hot fire in the stove
she rummaged through the closets for
little tinerics which she thought would
not be needed for the rest of the year,
but which the spell Of Indian summer
urged her to reproduce for day or two.
In her search among the closets she
came across little bag in the bottom OF
which were the whole hoardings of the
industrious years of herself and hus.
band, amounting to 5000 in greenbacks.
The roll of bills she held for moment
in her hands. thrust 1t into stocking,
and threw the stocking under bed,
where she thought it would be safest
while she was doing her washing. But
worse than burglars were in the house
while she was working.
Two of her little children, boy and
a girl, were playing and rummaging
around and of course crawled under the
bed. Then they found the sticking, and
in their glee, after humping each other
with it for a while, threw it into the
stove to see what nice blaze the nice
pictured pieces of paper would make.
The stocking was soon ablaze, and so
were the greenbacks, and when Mrs.
CRUDE found out what they had done
there was but little speck of ashes to
mark where all the fortune and the tinan.
cial hopes of herself and husband had
vanished. Chicaqo Times.
