THIS ART is cREWsoME.
1t Is T%attooiDg Human skin, and Brings
Good Prices.

The finding OF an unknown man
floating in the Delaware river off Fair.
mount avenue wharf at Philadelphia
led to the discovery of a most grew
some trade practiced by one OF the
discoveries Of the body. The dead
man bore upon his arm some perfect
specimens of the tattooer's art, and
Jacob Zizrachi, a Syrian, who assisted
in the recovery of the body, applied
for that portion of the cuticle of the
left arm which bore an admirable re-
presentation of the crucitixion. In the
representation of this piece of work the
artist showed a master hand. Every
detail was perfect.
This was what most attracted thu
attention Of Zazrachi, 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 so for it, and when told that
lac could not have it without an order
from the Coroner he stormed 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 proposed to do with the strip
of tattooed cuticle after he got il,
Zizrachi said that in Morocco, where ne
had passed the greater part Of his life.
there were many dealers in curios who
would give him from so TO 800 for
such things, according to the artistic
finish of the picture. He had made
hundreds Of dollars by trading with
these merchants, and had learned the
secret of properly preparing the skin
for framing.
The cuticle is first carefully dried
and tanned, says the n. Y. advertiser,
and is then treated with "a peculiar
solution of poisonous drugs, which has
the effect of bringing into bold reliei
the pigments used in the ~tattooing. II
is afterward pressed between two
plates of glass, and allowed to stand
for a month or SO, after which IL i:
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 Will
these objects.
In some parts of Arabia, according
to his statement, the shieks of certain
tribes always had their W portraits
tattooed upon their backs. After tn
death of one Of them the cuticle bear
ing the portrait was carefully Gu
away and prepared according to thu
usual process, and reverently carrieC
from place to place by the bereave'
tribe. Zizrachi said that the pictur'
on the arm of the drowned man at tn,
morgue would be worth $50 to $50 Il
him.

WHEN A CAME IN.
Over Half "a Century Since Rowland HI
Got England to Use Them.

Ffty-two years ago. according to q
number of authorities and many phil
atelists, postage stamps for preparing
| postage on letters first came into use
in England. Rowland Hill advocated
their use three years before, and set
to work on a design which, when it
first appeared. was ridiculed and char
acterized as sticking plaster" The
idea that business could be expedited
and rates lessened by Of stamps
was called absurd.
For all practical purposes, May 6,
1910, was the date when adhesive
stamps came into general use fos pre-
payment of letter postage in England.
The United States did not adopt the
system until 1847. Before 1910 stamp
ed newspapers were experimentally in
troduced in England. but letters went
the old way in care of a postman. who
collected the charges when the parcel
was delivered.
As early as 1868 postpaid envelopes
were used i'm Paris. and stamped postal
envelopes were issued by the Govern
ment of the Sandman States from 1929
to 1886. These, however. did not m
brace the convenience met with in the
adhesive, separate stamps, which at
once won public approval.
The manufacture of stamps was in
the start very crude, and the designs
far from the better styles Of to-day. In
England there was pictured a head OF
the Queen, but considerable opposi-
ton Was made to the design because
of the seeming indignity cast upon
the ruler when the face was blackened
in cancellation.
The German States quickly followed
Great Britain in using stamps for let
ter postage. having figures with va
rious deslgnia engraved about them
on the face. Brazil introduced letter
stamps in 1913, adjoining them with Q
likeness of the Emperor.
