RELIGION STAMPED ON HIM
A Text Was Tattoed on This Young
Freuohman'S Forehead.

A man upon whom religion had left its
mark ineffaceably was observed at Ellis
Island recently. He WAS one OF num-
ber of French emigrants brought before
the Commissioner for examination.
He was a tall, handsome young man
skilled ironworker. Attention was
drawn to his personal appearance by the
fact that he wore his thick hair brushed
down over his forehead to his very eye
brows.
When he was asked by the Commis-
sioner the reason of this extraordinary
coiffure, the French youth looked em-
barrassed for a moment, and then replied
that he wore his hair III this manner to
hide mark on his brow.
''What is the mark ?'' was asked.
He tossed his hair back and exhibited
skillfully executed piece of tattooing,
which, on examination, proved to be a
text from the Bible, done in minute. but
perfect letters. II was IN French and
read:
Die est mon Berger. je n'aurais be-
soin de rien." c'The Lord is my Shep-
herd, J. shall not want.")
lie stated that the tattOoing was done at
the request Of a cranky aunt when he was
twelve-y yearOld boy.
This passes the enterprise of those who
decorate natural scenery with texts as
consplcuously as do patent-medicine ven-
ders with advertisements Of their waros.
Ihls form Of enterprise is highly devel-
oped IN France.
Here and there along certain railway
lines one finds gigantic texts. printed
with white stones on the green hillsides.-

Ernest Renan and His sister.

The little book written by Ernest Re-
nan in memory of his sister Henrette
which has hitherto only circulated pri-
vately, has now been reprinted by Cal
man Levy for general circulation, and is
not only a tender and beautiful compost
ton, bu, is another expression of the OBJ
legation that men OF genius have owed to
their sisters. Renan in these pages re-
lateS with emotion how Henriette, twelve
years older than himself devoted herself
to him with so much self-sacritice that he
developed into boy tyrant of unjustifia-
BILE proportions. One day she revolted
and declared ii he did not behave better
she should die, and actually feigned
death by lying stiff and motionless in au
armchair. The feeling OF terror that this
caused in him was, Renau declares. the
strongest he ever experienced, and when
she uttered a cry that he never forgot he
could do nothing but ask, will you
ever die again ?''
After the death of the elder Renan,
who was drowned at sea, the family were
in great poverty, and Henriette. young
girl of seventeen, became teacher; but
her modesty, reserve, and delicaCy of
spirit were not equal to combating with
the children of the provincial bourgeois
families, and she was less successful than
stronger and more self-sufflcient women
who were her interiors in mind. Then
she went as teacher to boarding.
school in Paris, and Renan gives NOV
ing account of her sufferings. Away
from her mother, her family and friends,
the young girl, with the Breton tempeTa-
ment of attachment TO her own village,
found herself alone in the desert of
Paris amidst troop of frivolous school
girls, to whom her modesty and spirit
uality of soul were incomprehensibl and
absurd. This, added to the carelessness
and sordid interests of the teachers, pro-
duced in her a repugnance TO boarding
schools, of which she wrote at tie time
with intense severity, and her judgment
of thei1 evil influence on the education of
French women was never afterwards
III oditied.-St. James Gazette.

Aged Judges.

Sir James Bacon, who died recently in
London, was remarkable for the great
age at which he retained his faculties.
He was in his goth year at the time OF his
death. He first received a judicial ap-
pointment after he had attained the age
of 20 years, and most of his judicial work
performed between the ages of Y and s.,
vet he was a successful and honored
Judge. He served as Judge under the
old Bankruptcy law and under the old
Chancery system, both of which have
passed out OF existence. He was born in
London, did all his work in London, and
rarely took recreation out of the city linn
its. and yet was rarely Ill, and his death
was not the result of any disease, but of
falling strength due TO old age. Few
Judges have lived to as great an age,
though some have served on the bench
after their 90th year. Lord Chief Justice
LEROY OF Ireland, was 81 years old when
he retired from the bench. and he lived
for three years longer. Sir John May
nard was selected to an official position
in 1863 in his S9th year. and paid homage
to William ILL.,, though he had been a
conspicuous member of Parliament in
the reign of James I. Lord Brougham
and Lord Lyndhurst both reached their
Goth year. and several Irish Judges at
tanned as great or greater age. In spite of
these examples of great longevity and OF
usefulness on the bench at great age,

HOW TO MANUFACTURE THE PAMALB
A Dish That is Fast Becoming a
National One.
If Well and Cleanly Made, the Tamale
is a Pa1atable and Healthful
Article.

Every night in the year the tamale ped
dlers are on the streets, and throughout
the residence districts the shrill cry of
Hot tamales" may be heard as late as
midnight. There are lots of people who
like tamsles who lack faith in the makers
thereof, and as any good cook should be
able to build tamale, the following
recipe is given.
There is always doubt in giving recipe
for distinctively national dish, as to how
it will come out in the end, since no
strange hands appear quite capable oil
putting the unfamiliar ingredients to-
gether. The foreigner may think the
dish all the most exacting soul coulo de-
sire. The native shakes his head and
wonders just what has been left out.
Ali this is apropos of the fact that rule
for tamales is called for, and is given
with inward distrust as to the power OF
any tamale to own Just the flavor 1t
should anywhere but on Mexican soil.
Long practice insures just the right COM
bination OF pounded corn and all the
other Ingredients, and the dett twist of
the husks that inclose the savory morsel.
But it is good, even in foreign hands, If
the rule be followed literally, and here
it is:
Mince q mediums sized Spanish onion
fine, and fry brown III a spoonful OF but
ter. Mince also one of the large sweet
peppers. or, if this be lacking, TWO small
chilis. Chop the meat of cold roast or
boiled chicken moderately fine, and add
an equal amount of freshly ground corn.
Here is where the rub comes in, for the
foreign maker, since the Mexican women
grind their corn between two stones till
it is like very coarse meal. Grind, some
how, and add with the onion, pepper and
heaping teaspoonful of salt Have clean
corn husks ready.
Make the mixture into rolls the size
and shape of small ear of corn. Make a
thin batter of large cupful Of cornmeal
and not quite half cup Of water. with d
pinch OF salt. Spread this thin on the
husks. lay in the meat, and roll the husks
firmly round it, tying each one. Drop
into boiling water and boil one hour.
When carefully prepared the tamale is
liked by the Anglo-SaXon visitor. lt IS
both nourishing aud appetizng. While
still hot and steaming, it is covered up in
the original package" and hawked about
the streets by peddlers. These latter
carry with them some cheap knives, forks
and plates. When a customer is found
the Mexican cuts open one end of the corn
husk covering and shakes out the still
smoking talnale upon the plate.

Told by q Worthy Yankee.

While storming the first line Of forts at
Port Arthur, soldier belonging to the
Twenty-fourth Regiment raised his rifle
to fire at an unusually conspicuous Chi
naman. Just as he was about to fire a
bullet from the enemy's side came whiz-
zlng on, and, marvellous to relate, en-
tered the barrel of his own gun as smooth
ly and neatly as if the muzzles had been
placed mouth TO mouth. OF course there
was an explosion, and the soldiers piece
was shattered to the stock, but without
his receiving any Injuries whatever. A
fractional variation to the right or left
would have caused the hostile bullet TO
enter his head or face, SO that his escape
was nothing short of miraculous. He
preserved the stock of the now useless
weapon, and afterward exhibited it to his
Colonel, who permitted him to keep it as
a memento of his narrow escape. e.-Japan

DRAWBACK CHECKS.
Their Use to be Discontinued by the
Railroad Company.

Their Use to be Discontinued by the
Railroad Company.
Commencing to-day the Southern Pa
cific Company will discontinue the use of
"drawba checks. Heretofore when
passenger failed to buy ticket from
the ticket agent he was required to pay
the conductor ten cents in addition to the
regular fare. when the same was less
than 81. and ten per cent. on 81 fare or
IN excess of that amount. The conductor
would give the passenger q check. which
upon presentation at any ticket Office
would entitle him to rebate OF the extra
amount paid TO the conductor.
Hereafter the passenger will be re-
quired 10 pay extra II he fails to purchase
ticket from the ticket agent, but Will
mol receive any rebate.
1t is said that one of the reasons for the
change is on account of the use TO which
the draw back" checks are put In
some localities saloonkeepers accept them
in payment for drinks from belated trav-
elers. and then take them TO the ticket
agents and get them oashed.
This is Objectionable to the company,
which did not issue the checks TO be used

Carving a Pipe.

"When you want to buy a briar pipe,
said dealer recently, ''get root briar.
You will find it profitable also 20 get an
imported make. Any pipe will get rank
unless it is taken care OF, and / think q
briar root should be cleaned and oiled
once week If it is used by steady
smoker. By the way, the simplest and
best method of cleaning a pipe is to do i,
with an ordinary piece of string. Uu-
ravel one end Of the string three-quarters
of the length, push the other end through
the bore ana draw it through slowly.
Another point smokers should know is
that pipe ought to be carried in a loose
chamois skin case, not in box case, Sc
that the air can reach it. a pipe is as
helpless as a baby and needs as much
care.v

NOVEL SECURITY.
How They Used to Do Business In
California.

California.
There were neither courts nor juries in
the land; the word of Californian was
the only bond required. Even the wary
Yankee traders who frequented the coast,
when foreign commerce was finally al
lowed, trusted them freely from one sea-
son to the next. An incident illustrating
this trait is told by the Aguirre family.
Don Jose Aguirre, who owned trading
vessel, once had as supercargo a young
man who was stranger to Californian
customs. While the ship, with cargo,
lay in San Pedro harbor the master be-
ing absent, Augustin Machado, ranchero
of considerable wealth in land and herds,
but who could neither read nor write,
went on board to do some purchasing,
his carts awaiting him on shore. When
he had made his choice and was about
having the goods conveyed TO land, the
supercargo asked him for either payment
or guaranty. MacnadO did not at first
understand that he was being distrusted; E;
no such demand had ever before been
made OF any Tanchero, where the buyer
offered no money. he being credited with
out hesitation. When at length it dawned
upon the Californian. he drew a hair from
his beard and gravely handing it TO the
young man, said with dignity, Deliver
this to Senior Aguirre and tell him it is a
hair from the beard of Augustin ALachado
you will find it sufficient guaranty"
The supercargo, creStfallen, placed the
hair in the leaves of his account book and
allowed the goods to be removed. Upon
Aguirre's return he was deeply chagrined
at the insult that had been offered to his
friend Helen Elliott Bandini in the
Overland.
