Tattooing Among the Burmese.

OF all Burmese customs one of the most
singular is that of tattooing the person
from the waist to below the knees wit h
figures in black ink. Every man in the
whole of Burmah is thus adorned, and, M.
less his skin b. unusually dark, he looks
at a little distance us if he were clothed in
a tight fitting pair of knee breeches This
mark of manhood" which is usually con-
ferred when the subject is between twelve
and fourteen years of age, is n very painful
one, and the agony, which must necessarily
be of the most intense, is often prolonged
from three days to a week The subject,
stupefied with opium, lies insensible to the
pain, while one figure after another grad
ually appears on his skin.
The instrument used by the tattooer in
doing this dainty work is brass rod near.
~ two feet in length and half inch in
diameter, weighted at the top with little
ornamental figure and provided at the
other end with a hollow point, divided
into four very sharp points by cross Sits.
Deep as the points of this stylus sink into
the flesh they seldom draw blood, but the
limbs and body soon swell in a manner
that would alarm any one who did not
know what the final result would be.
Eight rupees is the usual fee paid the
tattooer for his weeks work. The figures
that compose the design vary little, con.
sisting, as rule, of tigers, dragons and
devils. Each of these figures is usually
surrounded by border sentence invoking
good luck upon the owner of the skin
wherein they are inscribed.-St. Louis Re
public.

Pictures Of Running Water.

If we ask a person who has not thought
kbout the matter to represent with pen
Pill, from memory, stream or fall of water,
ia nine cases out of ten he will return the
paper after having timidly ventured upon
b few parallel scratches, looking as much
hs anything else like the ruts in a road or
| he hairs of a horses tail Yet we see
liquids every day flowing along the gutter,
fnd from bottles or pitchers; and we have
hll played near brooks and cascades The
persons who trace the parallel lines we
have spoken of suppose they are represent
ing the path travelled by the particles of
kvater-that is, a movement, an immaterial
fhing which by its very nature defies all
graphic representation.
1t is true that luminous point in very
Rapid motion leaves on the retina the i'm
preston of line. We are thus authorized
10 represent flash of lightning, the course
bf shell and a gunshot, but we hesitate
TO resort to that artifce to represent the
Hight of an arrow through the air or the
movement of sword to strike 1t will be
|yell to make only a moderate use of it in
water In fact, these parallel
ines do not exist, at least not under that
form. Furthermore, lines do not show
whether the stream is going to the right
pr to the left, or vice versa.-J. Picard in

An imaginative gentleman relates an eX-
berence which he had had while pulling a
FAST mail train over the Rocky mountain
division of the Union Pacific. He was
foming down through a canyon with
heavy train behind him. 1t had been rain
ing heavily for a long time, and the
ground was soft and sticky. The track
|yas wet and slippery, and the heavy train
(yas running at "A fearful speed. His engine
|yas doing her best to hold 'em back" but
IN spite of his efforts he began to fear that
lie train was going to get away from him.
just as he was wondering what he could
Flo to check the tremendous speed of the
rain he shot round a curve, and there on
he track, not hundred yards ahead Of
|nm, was "a little girl asleep. To stop by
ordinary methods was absolutely impossi-
pie. To go on was certain death to the
[hild. In the fraction of a second he had
formed his plan.
AS he says it, 81 shouted to Jim, the fire
man, to choke her. and give her the
grit, and then | slid out on the running
board and down on her nose and jumped
bT. AS she came by | grabbed hold of a
kpoke in the driver and socked my heel in
| he mud, and, if you'll believe it, stopped
hat train right there. Broke my right
|trm in two places, though, and knocked
livery blamed car in the train clean off the
! rack. But | saved the child. New York

There is good story going the rounds
about man who has become successful
merchant. A few years ago he was en-
bloyed as an Office boy and messenger for a
large firm. He was sent to collect an ac-
fount from firm which was considered
very "shaky," and was told to get the
money at all hazards. The debtors gave
the lad a check for fifty pounds. Hewent
10 the bank at once to cash it, and was told
by the cashier that there were not enough
Funds to meet it.
How much short?" asked the lad.
"Thirty shillings," was the answer.
