IL 10 A. NJ, Tuesday special car conveyed

A RELIGIOUS RITE.
Originating Among the Phoenicians'
Tattooin4 Spread to Savage Tribes,

Originating Among the Phoenicians,
Tattooin9 spread to Savage Tribes,
What is the origin of tattooing? Re-
ligion, which has so much power over
people and which proved so obstinate
in preserving ancient customs, has GER
tainly contributed to maintain it among
the more barbarous part Of our popula-
ton. We see a quasi official proof OF
II at Loreto. Those who cultivate q
devotion for n saint believe that by
engraving his image on their flesh they
will give him a proof, a clear testimony,
Of their love. We know that the Phoe-
nicians marked sign Of their divinity
on the foreheads Nwald, Judalschen
Altherthum, ill., In the Marshall ISL
ands they have to ask the permission
of the gods to tattoo themselves, and
the priests alone in New Zealand per-
form the office Of tattOOing (ScherZer).
Lubbock adds to this that a woman
who does not wear tattoo mark can
not enjoy eternal felicity. The women
Of Britain tattooed themselves in ODE
dience to religion (Pliny 33).
The second cause is the spirit OF
imitation. A Lombard soldier answer
ed me laughingIy one day when 1 raj
lied him on his having spent a small
sum to spoil his arm.
"See, monsieur, we are like sheep,
and when one of us does anything we
all initiate him at once, even If we risk
doing ourselves harm"
Love Of distinction also has It's intiu-
ence. A thief of the most incorrigible
sort who had six brothers tattooed like
himself, implored me, although he was
half covered with the oldest tattoo
marks, to find him a professional tat
tooer to complete what might be styled
the embroidery Of his skin. when the
tattooing Is very curious and spreads
all over the body" he told me, ut is to
other thieves like the black coat Of
society with decorations-the more we
are tattooed the more we esteem one
another; the more person Is tattooed
the more influence he has over his COM
panions. On the contrary, one who Is
not tattooed has no influence. He is
regarded simply as good fellow and
Is not esteemed by the company. Pop
