Likenesses between Husband ana

Ldkenesses Between Husband and
Wife.
Some curious Investigations have re-
Gently been undertaken by photo
graphic society in Geneva. The pur-
pose was to show that the longer a
married couple lived together-we ap-
prehend ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS more and
more marked became the resemblance
which the two persons bore to each
other. Photographs Of seventy-eight
couples were taken, as well as an
equal number Of adult brothers and
sisters. On careful inspection It was
found that the married couples were
more like each other than the brothers
and sisters Of the same blood. Ap-
parently. therefore, there seems to be
stronger force available for the pro-
ductfon Of family likenesses" even
than that Of hereditary transmission.
In accepting the statement Of the 60
ciety In question as true as to fact, It
Is not difficult, In a certain measure,
to account for the phenomenon re.
ferred to. Human beings, for exam
pie, have quite a faculty for copying
each other In their ways, move

New T. .Renovo Tattee l1ar,rs

s * new 70 Remove Tott0o Marks.
+ The example Of the Duke Of York,
the future King Of England, who has
had some elaborate designs tatooed ON
his arm, is said to have set the Eng
llsh aristocracy wild, and tattooine has
become the rage. On the other hand
there are many people who have sub
mitted themselves to this needle and
Ink decoration, who have outlived their
pride in 1t, and who feel rather asham-
ed OF what they formerly looked upon
as . distinction. For the benefit of
such medical correspondent tells how
tattoo marks may be removed. The
marks are painted over with concen-
trated solution Of tannin. After
wards, by means Of fine needles a
series Of pickings is made over the
tattooed design, and over the surface
thus picked is passed a stick Of nitrate
OF silver. At the end of q few minutes
the black pickings previously made be-
comes detached and the superficial
layers Of skin are charged with a tan
nate OF silver. In order that the pro-
cess may be perfectly successful this
surface must be powdered with tan
min for two or three days. At the end
Of TINT time, the inflammatory action
has almost subsidized, and the picked
parts turn black, forming thin crust,
very adherent to the deeper skin, but
painless. In fourteen or fifteen days
the scab falls of, and In it's place is
seen q superficial red mark, which
gradually fades away until, at the end
Of few months, NIL signs Of coloration
disappear. OF course, antiseptic pre-
cautions are dull taken in performing
this operation. The old tattoo needle
is the best thing it can be done with.
DR.. Ballot suggests that bioxalate of
potassium Is even better for the pur-
pose Of tattoo marks removal than nj.
trate Of silver.

'Anarchists in France.
About 1900 persons in France are
marked as anarchists and are con.
stantly watched by the police of the
various European countries, Of whom
600 are French and 500 are for
eisners, Italy leading with 500, fol-
lowed by Switzerland with 300. Ger.
many and Russia with 24O each, Aus
tria and Belgium with GO each. As
regards occupation, shoemakers, car.
penters and day laborers of oil no.
lions furnish large proportions Of the
anarchists. while the educated pro-
fessions hardly appear German tall
ors and printers, Swiss watchmakers
and farmers, Italian clerks and bakers
and French walters and persons with
out avowed business tend more to an
archy than those Of other national
ties. The Russians differ from all
others In that 30 per cent of the per-
sons under surveillance are students,
another 30 per cent professional men,
and hardly per cent have occupations
requiring no education.-Ie Figaro.

Thousands Of Hogs Dyi.g.

The farmers of Mclean and ada
cent counties Qll.) are greatly alarmed
over the seemingly irresistible ravages
Of disease which have already de-
stroyed many thousands of hogs, and
threatens to exterminate that class of
animals in the affected territory. So
far no remedy seems to have had the
least effect In checking its progress.
When once the disease once makes its
appearance on farm the hogs are
doomed. The disease differs radically
from what has heretofore been known
as cholera. The hog swells up and In
many instances bursts Just before
death. The post-mortem examination
shows highly inflamed and congested
conditions Of the organs. The disease
Is found In nearly every township in
this county and In many parts Of the
adjacent counties.
