was ground TO atoms. The brother of tho

Rachel was ciinging; and while this man
held her with his left arm about her waist,

anger glow in his eyes while his sternly
compressed lips spoke of determination.
Ivan drew himself up and Tor some mo-
mcnts glared at his rival as if he contem-
plated a conflict. But presently he spoke.
His voice was steady. and he seemed to ex-

Rachel cried out in an agony OF mental

FLOWERS IN DRESS.
Wherein the English Woman Distances

Wherein tho English Woman Distances
Her American Cousin.
The American woman, while she
claims she loves flowers, does not seem
to have the same ability in arranging
them as personal decorations as is pos
sessed by her English cousins. An
English woman viii select the finest
artificial flowers and garland an even
ing gown with them until she makes
herself look like veritable walking
flower" which Is what Heine saws that
FL women should be- After the
flowers are found, dress
maker and wearer will study
how they can best be ar
ranged for evening wear. A pretty
blonde who was going to the races, who
had discovered that deep dark Russian
violets best Unframed her face, had a
jauuty bonnet made entirely Of these
blossoms, while she wore about her
shoulders 4 lace cape with a Medici col
lar formed Of violcts, their leaves and
stems, A ribbon exactly matching the
flowers in hue caught the lace cape just
In font. She was a wise blonde, for
she realized that not only did she look
- pretty rs a picture, but she was
wearing the flower that everything
mas culine most admires
Aaother pretty floral garniture is in
tended for wear with an evening bod
ice. 1t Is plastron shape composed
entirely Of primroses, and has as It's
finish on each shoulder a flariug white
ribbon bow. just at one side of the
corsage Is placed a small love bird. and
is mate Is behind the ribbon bow on
the left shoulder. This was placed on
a white silk bodice. Such an addition
To ones gown will do much To make
il look almost as good as new.
The knowing how to dispose of
the small adjuncts of dress
Is really what makes a successful toilet,
and this Is the art of the French wom-
an. who knows how to suit every part
of her costume TO theshour of the day
and the occasion. English women ex-
eel in their evening toilets. but the
American Is rapidly gaining wisdom
from each of her cousins. and will IN a
short time lead the procession. SO far as
good dressing Is coucerned.-N. y. Sun.

A GREWSOME ART.
The Strange Revelation Made by
a Floating Corpse.
Tattoeed Human Skfn I'm Great Demand
as q Curio-Good Prices Paid for
1t by Merchants In
the Orient.

The finding of an unknown man float
| ing in the Delaware river at Philadel-
phia finally led to the discovery of a
most grewsome trade practiced by one
of the discoveries of the body. The
dead man, says an exchange of that
| city, bore upon his arm some perfect
specimens of the tattcoer's art, and
Jacob Zizrachi, Syrian, who assisted
in the recovery of the body, applied for
that portion of the cuticle of the left
arm which bore an admirable repre-
sentation of the crucifxion- In the
representation of this piece OF work the
artist showed a master hand. Every
detail was perfect.
This was what most attracted the
attention of Zizrachi, and he begged
and pleaded with the keeper of the
morgue to give him the strip of
cuticle covered by the picture He even
offered ten dollars for it, and when told
that he could not have it without an
order from the coroner he storIned and
raved, declaring it to be rightfully his,
anyway, because he had assisted in the
recovery of the body. The keeper
finally told him to call at the morgue
again, and that he would in the mean
time speak to the coroner in regard to
the matter.
He being piled with questions as to
what he intended to do with the strip
of tattooed ccuticle after he got it,
Zizrachi said that n Morocco, where he
had passed the greater part of his life,
there We're many dealers IN curios who
would give him from ten to one hun
dred dollars for such things, according
to the artistic finish of the picture. He
had made hundreds of dollars by trad
ing with these merchants, and had
learned the secret of properly prepar-
ing the skin for framing.
The cuticle is first carefully dried and
tanned and is then treated with pc
culiar solution of poisonous drugs,
which has the effect of bringing into
bold relief the pigment used in the
tattooing. 1t is afterward pressed be-
tween two plates of glass and is al
lowed to stand for a month or SO, after
which it is framed and placed on sale.
Many prominent citizens of the larger
cities of the orient, the Syrian stated,
had the walls of their houses decorated
with these objects.
In some parts of Arabia, according to
his statement, the she;ks of certain
tribes always had their own portraits
tattooed upon their backs. After the
death of one them the cuticle bearing
the portrait was carefully cut away
and prepared according to the usual
process and reverently carried from
place to place by the bereaved tribe.
Zizrachi said that the picture on the
arm of the drowned man at the morgue
would be.worth fifty to sixty dollars to
him

a Mans Queer Method of Taking Re-
freshmcnt.
The other day a young man sauntered
into a saloon, says the Savannah ga
News, and asked for glass of beer.
The barzeeper, German, recognizing
in the stranger fellow-countryman,
set out glass of the required beverage
for his rejection. Taking the glass in
his hand, the stranger walked to the
end of the bar, opened his coat and pro-
ceeded to pour the beer into funnel.
''Phat you do with dot beer?" shouted
the astonished bartender. 4 am drink
ing it," replied the stranger, calmly
emptying the last drop into the funnel
and placing the glass on the counter.
The barkeeper was paralyZed, and moth
ing short of a full explanation fully re-
assured him. It developed that the
stranger had some time ago swallowed
so1ae carbolic acid by mistake, which
had caused structure of the throat. He
is unable TO swallow even liquids, and
his only means of taking food or drink
is through tube which runs into his
stomach. Through this he drinks and
eats, first chewing his food and then
passing it through the tube into his
stomach. His case was such rare one
that the barkeeper took him to see
some of the doctors of the city. He is
in good health, and does not seem to
suffer much from his strange affection,
conversing readily, though unable to
swallow anything at all. The tube

hungry he places it in position, and

Commodore Huil's Father.

The falling of tea-chests in Boston
harbor caused a ripple that was felt to
the farthest shores of the thirteen colo
MES, and on July 4, 1915, the vibrant
rim of Liberty bell set in motion those
waves of sound that called every man
whose heart yearned for freedom to fall
into line. Joseph Hull was among the
first to respond, and entered the army
as lieutenant of artillery. He was soon
taken prisoner, and for two years en-
dured much suffering. Then obtaining
release, he was again at his country's
service, and remained through the en-
tire war. His remarkable GOODNESS I'M
der danger, his fearlessness and great
strategic ability are verified by many
traditions. At one time, riding from
Derby to New Haven, as he reached the
brow of a hill, he saw a number of Brit
ish soldiers coming toward him. He
was alone and unarmed; he stopped his
horse an instant, turned and beckoned
as if signaling a force to follow him,
then riding forward demanded the
swords of the soldiers, which, as they
expected the immediate arrival of his
reinforcement, We're at once surren-
dered.-Jane de Forest Shelton, in
