Sailors Capture Reptiles and Print Por-
tions OF the Bible ON Them.
Anyone who will take the trouble to
walk into a certain shop in Piccadilly,
not far from the Egyptian hall, will be
rewarded by seeing a species of snake,
known as the lemon boa, with the
whole of the third chapter of Genesis
tattooed on it's body. The reptile, ac-
cording to London writer's, is only
lent for exhibition, but the gentleman
who purchased it states that on board
the South American sailing vessel, the
scene of this remarkable tattooing, it
is common diversion among the sail
ors to capture live snakes, extract their
fangs and cover the body with any
number of inscriptions, legends and de-
vices, and then dispose of the reptiles
at the first port.
Few of the purchasers, however, care
to have charge Of a live snake-be they
ever so harmless-so it is customary to
either stuff these latter with fine straw
and putty, or else immerse them in
alcohol, although this. process COM
monty has the effect of taking all the
brilliancy out of the pigments en-
ployed.
In the case of long and extremely
fine inscriptions alcohol shows up and
preserves these to great advantage. A
sailor spent six months in tattooing
one of the sketches by Boz, contain
ing four thousand five hundred and
twenty-six words, upon the skin OF
rattlesnake, which he afterward sold
for eight guineas.

In Bologna the Plant Is Regarded the
Symbol of Abundance.
Garlic was the cause of the loss of
toes and fingers in one of the Arabian
Nights tales (''The Purveyor's Story.
In Cuba thirteen cloves of garlic at
the end of cord, worn around the
neck for thirteen days, are considered a
safeguard against jaundice." On the
thirteenth night the wearer must go
to a street corner, throw the charm be-
hind him and run home without look
ing to see what becomes of it. In b.
logna, whence comes the redolent
sausage, garlic is regarded as the sym
Dol of abundance, and is bought as a
charm at the midsummer festival.
To dream of it foretells the finding of
a hidden treasure and a domestic quar-
rel, says the Pittsburgh Dispatch.
Pliny, Ptolemy and Plntarch say gar
lie destroys the magnetism Of the
compass needle. Bunches of these
plants are hung about the cabins of
Greek and Turkish vessels to pre-
vent the effects Of the evil eye. In Po-
land the leek is represented in Christ's
hands in paintings.
The onion was still more important
from it's use in divination and love
charm and it's Importance in dreams.
''Cromnyomancy" was the name given
to divination by onions.
Maidens who desired 10 know who
were to be their husbands wrote the
names of their lovers on the outside of
several onions and placed them on the
altar on Christmas evening. The
first to sprout designated the future
spouse. To judge of future wealth. the
onion was cut into and twelve cups
made from it. These were filed with
salt and put in a row on Christmas eve.
If they were wet the next morning
riches awaited the person performing
the test. ......
