Europeans who have been foolish enough,
either in youth or age, to tattoo themselves
like FIJI Islanders, Patagonians, or any other
race of picturesque savages, may be interest
ed to hear that d.. Ear.ot, Of Farls, has dis
covered a simple but effective method
Of removing red or blue pictorial devices
from the human skin. Il. Fariot has en-
bodied the results Of bis experiments in an
elaborate treatise on tats1oing in ancient
and modern times, which has been sent 10
the Paris Biological society Further, the
doctor has Experimental on prisoners in the
Central infrmary, to which 10 is attached,
and on hospital patients, all Of whom have,
of course. offered themselves voluntarily for
the operations.
N. Variot has also tested the ef1icacious-
uess of his method in removing black or
or trown beauty spots or moles from the skin
Of animals, and has foundC 1t eninently sue
cessful. His modus operandi is to prick the
marks or spots with needles until the blood
flows, then to injast taDnin, and finally to
cauterize 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 prioking and conformation become black
for time, then turn red. and after month
or SO the parts which have been treated are
almost indistinguishable from the adjoining
flesh. Paris Cor London Telegraph.

Chapman offered resolution to the effect
that the committee on rules report next
Thursday all the facts In their possession
bearing on the question Of the admission Of
Dakota as two states.
This resolution, 1t is understood, voiced the
views OF Speaker Carlisle.
: Holman favored the admission Of Dakota
as one state He offered resolution that
south Dakota lie admitted into the Union at
once. and that north Dakota, Washington,
Montana, and New Mexico adopt constitu.
ton for their admission.
McAdoo said IL the Democrats could pro.
cure admission of the several territories now
it would be political advantage
Bland said that the Democratic party
must brave the present position. The presi.

Horace Greelye's advice and go west
VOORHEES, Of Washington said that the
present Republican majority Of 1000 in tina,

that territory as a state.

At Haverly's theatre, now the Column
bia, a few years ago, there was certain
attraction which was doomed in many
curious ways A young newspaper man
received one day motto written in a
lady's hand, telling him that she would
occupy the right hand stage box at Hav-
erly's that night, carrying a large fan
and bouquet, and that she would ike to
see him there with red carnation in his
buttonhole. He thought at first that it
was trick, but he dropped in at Hav-
erly's that night, and, standing along the
east wall, with eyes riveted upon the
right stage box, were twenty or thirty
club men and FOUNDERS, who had EVIL
IDENTIFY received duplicates of the news
paper mans note. A lady with big
fan and bouquet sat in the box, but she
appeared completely occupied with the
play, and gave the gazers no return
glances. Only one among them, an
elderly lawyer, wore the red carnation.

The Chicago Tribune, through its
Washington correspondent, has entered
an emphatic denial of the scandslous
stories that for many months have been
surrepjtiously circulated concerning the
president of the United States These
stories have been so gross and improbable
that they have fallen of their own weight,
and it is doubtful if one rational person in
the entire country have given them cre>
dence. Indeed, it is libel upon Ameri
can manhood that creatures could be
found so debased as to circulate them.
