TattOOinE.

The strange practice Of tattooing is
very widely spread over tho whole
world, being universal i'll the south sea
islands, where it is resorted to from
some religious or other ceremonial mo-
tive Tho Maoris of New Zealand who
arc distinguished by elaborate tattooing
of the face. evidently undergo tho opcr-
alton not from religious motives, but
from the desire to increase their war
like and ferocious appearance, which it
certainly does i'll great degree. Tat
tooing has often been employed rs a
badge of brotherhood in some particular
cause, and moro often still as means
OF Identification for slaves aud crimi-
nails
Among the lower class criminal pop
ulation of Europe tho practice of tattoo
ing is common, more than 90 designs
being sometimes found on such persons,
hearts. anchors. serpents, flowers, in
itials, being the figures usually employ
ed. The practice is still very common
among civilized sailors. Tho pain of the
operation is trifiing, and, if properly
done. the marks are indelible.

The Capital of Taffy,and.

Everton. the capital of Taffyland, {"
is really part of Liverpool, but once
upon time it was town by itself.
Here dwelt Molly Bushell about 1859,
the year in which the poet Burns was
born It is said that Liverpool doctor,
out of kindness, told her how to make
very delicious kind of taffy, or toffee,
as the English have it. She must have
satisfied herself that it was toothsome,
for she fell a-making Of it Industrious
ly. Molly, moreover, kept her secret SO
carefully that people who wanted that
sort OF totfee had to get it from Everton.
Thus it came about that, in course of
time. Everton toffee had wide circula-
ton. English children still believe
there's no toffee like Evcrton.

YOUTHS DEPARTMENT..
The Story Of Fluffy, Fido and NipJThe
Practice Of TattooinR-The Capital
Of Taffyland.

Fluffy was in very bad temper, and
she showed it. Sho sat on the rug, look
ing so offended that Hattie could not
help laughing at her, which made her
worse, Fido knew it, too, and wisely
curled himself up in his basket and pre-
tended to go to sleep, keeping one eye
on Fluffy all the time
When Hattie went out Of the room,
Fluffy said Grossly:
IF Hattie wanted another pet, why
couldn't she have got sober, sensible
cat like me, a person it would have been
n pleasure to talk to, instead of a stupid
bird?" And she gave her tail an angry
twist.
Perhaps she liked a bird better, f" sug-
gested Fido very meekly
NASTY little thingl" snapped Fluffy
II should like to eat him.
Just then Hattie came back and took
Fluffy up and began to pet her.
She cheered up directly, for she dear
ly loved her little mistress, and when
she was not cross would do anything to
please her.
AS time passed Fluffy and the canary
became more friendly. Nipwas allowed
w - oOOuV ohC 1OOlIl anu tlb luSU WOulu
perch quite close to Fluffy, who never
touched him when Hattie was in tho
room.
But Fluffy was still jealous and
rather cross ut times.
One lovely summer day Nip was fly
ing about as usual, Fido was asleep in
his basket and Fluffy on tho window
seat in the sunshine
Hattie was called away and forgot in
her hurry to shut the door
Suddenly Fido gave warning bark.
Fluffy looked up and saw strange cat
stealing round tho room with its ewes
fixed on Nip, who was on tho table
picking up crumbs.
For one second sho thought, Nov
it's all over with him" Next bet
ter thought came. "Oh, what will Hat
tic say?" And, without stopping to
think. she sprang OH the table, took Nip
very gently i'll her mouth, and, rushing
out OF the room, ran up stairs with him.
Fldo flew at tho strange cat, who
went out quicker than sho had como in,
and drove her out of tho house
When all was quiet, Fluffy came
softly down stairs again and laid Nip
at Hattio's feet. He sprang on to her
shoulder, chirping briskly, as if to say:
You sec Pm all right.
Hattie, who had seen what happened,
was delighted to find her little pet safe
and could not make enough fuss over
Fluffy, whilo Fluffy, having once con-
quered her jealous feelings, drove them
away forever and became thoroughly
good tempered cat.

The Japs Did Likewise.

Even those who desire to be strictly
accurate sometimes erect their story
from a single instance as geologist
.conceives the framework of long ex-
tinct animal from one bone. The fall
lacy CT so doing is we'll illustrated by
the following story told to the writer
by che of the participants:
few years ago two japanese gentle
men of high standing were travelling in
the United States, and, among other
places, visited large and widely known
nanufactory. They were afterward in
vitad by the senior member of the firm
10 lunch with him. Colonel M. was
also of the party, 1t happened that the
first food placed on the table was dish
CT fried potatoes, and as the manufac-
turer enthusiastically explained his
business to his guests he unthinklngIy
took piece of potato from the dish
with his fingers and ate it. A second
and third piece followed. The Japanese
listened politely, but Colonel M. OBJ
served that they were closely watching
their hosts method of eating. The col
onel has a keen sense of humor, and he
at once decided that be would follow
his friends example and see what the
others would do. He did so, and in
stantly both japanese made a dive for
the dish, and thus they sat eating pota-
toes with their fingers, presenting, it is
to be feared. the appearance of four men
who had had nothing to eat for long
while and expected never to get any
thing again.
Will it be surprising if in future

Ants as Big as Dogs.

In olden times people believed in all
manner of fabulous creatures, and the
scientists described them in all sober
ness just as if they really existed. One
famous old writer, who was supposed to
be very accurate, was telling about ants.
After relating several stories about the
common ants he says:
"'There is another kind of ant in
Ethiopia which is the shape and size of
a dog. They have strange habits, for
they scratch into the ground and ex-
tract therefrom great quantities of fine
gold. If any one wishes to take this
gold from them, be soon repents of his
undertaking, for the ants run upon him,
and if they catch him they devour him
instantly.
"The people who live near them
know that they are fierce and savage,
and that they possess a great quantity
of gold, and SO they have invented
cunning trick. They take mares which
have unweaned colts and give them no
food for three days. On the fourth the
mares are saddled, and to the saddles
are fastened boxes that shine like gold.
Between these people and the ants flows
a very swift river. The famished mares
are driven across the river, while the
colts are kept ON the hither side. On
the other side of the river the grass is
rich and thick. Here the mares Craze,
and the ants, seeing the shining boxes,
think they have found good place to
hide their gold and so all day long
they fill and load the boxes with their
precious gold, till night comes on and
the mares have eaten their fill. When
they hear the neighing Of their colts,
they hasten to return to the other side
of the river There their masters take
the gold from the boxes and become
rich and powerful, but the ants grieve
over their loss. "

A Peasants Luck.

The Gazette of Moscow says that
while the king of Siam was passing
through the streets of that city white
feather fell from the plume of his he'll
met and was picked up by the peasant
Toukianow, who is in the service of NJ
Koch. Toukianow fastened to restore
the feather to the chief of police. He
was greatly surprised several days later
upon receiving from this official, in the
name of his Siamese majesty, casket
containing portrait of the king and a
massive gold chain decorated with q
token of the same metal bearing the
arms of Siam in enamel Toukianow
has not yet recovered from this unex~
peoted piece of good fortune.
