TattOOed ROYALTY,

The Grand Duke Alexis right arm is
adorned with a dragon which covers it
almost entirely from the wrist to the
elbow. The new Duke of Saxe-Coburg-
Gotha is tattooed much the same way,
while the Duke of York has a couple of
crossed flags upon his forearm. King
George of Greece, his second son and his
nephew, the czarowitz, are each of them
tattooed. Besides these there are among
the tattooed princes Queen Marguerite
of Italy's brother, the Duke of Genoa,
Archduke Stephen of Austria and Prince
Henry of Prussia. brother of Emperor
William.
Princess Waldemar of Denmark, wife
Of the sailor son of King Christian, has a
beautiful anchor and a crown tattooed on
her arm, halfway between her shoulder
and her elbow, and which of course is
conspicuous whenever she wears a low
dress. Her husband likewise has naval
emblems tattooed on his arm, and so,
too, has King Oscar Of Sweden, who
served for many years in the navy before
ascending the throne. His sons have
followed his example.-Boston Herald.

Germs In Milk.

Those fortunate people who have their
own cow" have an extra care laid upon
them by their possession. Their milk
cans must be kept in an absolutely per
feet condition.
They should be washed, scalded and
wiped perfectly dry after using. Then
they must be set out in the sun for 12
hours, or If that is impossible, put before
the fire. Just before they are used again
they should be washed, scalded and
dried again. There is nothing in which
germs develop S o rapidly as in milk, and
extra care is necessary to make sure that
the utensils contain no germs.-New

The Wind Scraped the Mast Clean.

Captain Hurlbut of the British bark
Bowman B. Law considers himself for
tunate in coming out of a terrible ty-
phoon in the China seas, not without a
scratch, but without the loss of any of
his crew or even of a spar or sail. This
is his experience as he related it:
eve left Sourabaya, Java, bound for
the Columbia river. All went we'll for
the first week. The men put in their
time we'll about the ship, and ne par
ticular job that was attended to was
painting the mizzentopmast. This was
wood, the other masts and topmasts
being iron. | noticed that the paint on
the spar blistered more or less under the
tropical sun.
Zone fine afternoon, under a clear
sky, the storm came on us. There was
hardly any warning. The typhoon shot
out of the gulf of Siam as though it
came from a cannon. What in the dis
lance was a ripple or the surface Of the
sea, as it approached us became a feath-
cry, foam dashed mass of waves, and
the next instant the hurricane struck us.
All sail was slowed away, and we tore
ahead under bare poles at locomotive
speed. When the fury of the typhoon
abated, we found everything intact. The
miZzentOpmast, however, was bare of
paint. The wind had blown the blisters
covered wood."-Portland O~regonian.

Decidedly Unconventional.

Mrs. Angelina Allen is at it again.
Mrs. Allen is the young woman who
nearly threw Founder Bradley of Asbury
Park into fits last summer by appearing
on the beach in a bathing suit, in which
material was very scanty. She is now
riding around Newark, n. j., on a bi,
cycle, wearing a pair of tight fitting cor
duroy breeches, patent leather shoes, a
zouave jacket, a mans shirt, and posi-
bly, some other clothes not visible to the
general public. The natives watch for
her with bated breath, and her appear
ance is the signal for a rush to all the
front windows along the street.-New-

ENAMeLING THE eATH1Ue.
An Ingenious and Simple Method of Ma
ing an Did Zinc Tub Dainty.

An Ingenious and Simple Method of Max
ing an Old Zinc Tub Dainty.
The bathtub from which age and con-
slant use have worn away the bright
ness is the despair of the model house
wife, VINO wishes to have everything
about her home show traces of are on
the part of herself and her domestics.
How distressed she is when, after sew
eral Intellectual attempts to burnish up
the metal lining, the dull, worn look re-
mains, and the unwelcome truth bursts
upon her that its polishing days" are
over and there must in the future hover
about the tub the air of ~dinginess and
neglect.
To avoid this sort of trouble an in
genious idea is on the wing, which will
as time advances gain in favor. Who
does not admire the porcelain tubs in
which fortunes pampered proteges take
their daily dip? To those but lightly en-
dowed with worldly goods the posses
sion of one of these luxurious fancies
looks to be an utter impossibility. But
there is a means by which the mother
and her brood may secure a tub, which,
if it is not quite up to the mark in point
of quality, is certainly as daintily at
tractive IL appearance as that of porce-
lai1A
2&na e the enameled bathtub. When
the zinc OF tin lining grows shabby, give
it a coat of white paint. After this has
dried apply several t~hicknesses of white
enamel, waiting for each application to
dry before adding the next. In this way
a thick enamel coating is laid upon the
metal, giving it the appearance when
completed of porcelain. The enameled
lined tub is not only very much daintier
in appearance, but can be kept in order
more easily than zinc or tin, a damp
cloth wiped across the surface being all
that is needed to retain the purity of
coloring.
AS company for a tub furnished up in
the foregoing manner treat in the same
way the woodwork of the bathroom.
Some faint hued enamel, pale blue, old
pink, violet, gray, cream or lemon, laid
upon the woodwork completes the deco
rative notion, while aesthetic conceptions
in pumpkin yellow, sage green or russell
brown contrast admirably with the
snowy lining of the tub.-Golden Days.

What We Have hS1y About Pianos

Many families want a Piano but defer buying be-
cause they wish to pay cash, and think that $500 or sou
must be spent to get a good Piano
While we have fine Instruments at these and higher
prices, the wants of those desiring something good at a
modest price have also had careful attention. We offer
a handsome and reliable Upright Piano, of good tone,
fully warranted for FIVE years, and include a stool and
scarf, for $3.50 cash. When buyers are not prepared to
pay the whole amount in cash, favorable terms can be ar
ranged for the balance.

PROTECTION OF ,wORKMEN.

A Proposed Regu1ntbon Concerning
Elevators i'm Unfihishcd Structures.
Mr.. S. r. Thomas. attorney for the Dis
trict, has forwarded to the Commissioners a
draft of an amendment to the building regu-
lations. regulating elevators in buildings in
process of construction. The new regula-
ton was suggested by a communication to
the Commissioners from Joseph X. Potter,
secretary of the Federation of Labor Of the
District Of Columbia, requesting them to
enforce the laws regulating elevators in
buildings in course Of erection. Mr.. Thomas
has drafted the following amendment
which he thinks will meet the case. and re-
quests that It be added to the orders of the
Commissioners, as that is the most appro-
pirate place for 1t: That in all buildings in
the District of Columbia in course of con-
struction it shall be unlawful to use hoists
or elevators for hosting building material
&C, in any such building or buildings, I'M
less the we'll holes or openings for such
elevators or hoists on each and every floor
Of the building shall be closed with temper
airy guard rails composed Of boards placed
six inches apart to a height OF five feet,
with a gate or door swinging outward and
such other safety appliances as the in
spector of buildings may determine to be
necessary for the protection of life and
limb"
