A Treatise on the Barbaric
Glory of Tattooing.
Lecture of Mrs. Talcott Williams
in the Library Building OF the
University of Pepnsy lyania.

''Tattooing in Morocco was the sub
ject of an interesting lecture delivered
by Mrs. Talcott Williams in the library
building Of the University of Pennsyl-
vania yesterday afternoon. As in all Of
this course the demonstration was made
from objects in the museum collections.
Though in modern times soldiers. sailors
and criminals are about the only people
who indulge in this style OF decoration.
ii was not always 50. Nordau's patron
saint Lombroso. agrees that it is sur
vival of savage life. Though it has ex-
listed from the beginning. strangely
enough there is no word for il in mod
ern languages.
The different peoples who are given TO
this barbaric sort of vanity follow il in
FIVE different ways il seems First. by
pricking. second. by simple incision
third, by liberation or burning: fourth,
by hysodermic tattooing. which consists
in passing a needle charged with color
ing matter, usually SCOT. between the ep-
idermis and the true skin. in a slanting
manner: and fifth. mixed tattooing.
which combines pricking and the hypo-
derInic method. and is most employed in
Europe New Zealand alone boasts for
~ different patterns. The patterns are
drawn on paper ana then the outline il
pricked in. In morocco, women make il
their business.
The patterns are very interesting and
suggestiVely horrible are the instruments
of torture themselves. One is a mere
needle sticking out from round stick
eight inches long. to which il is bound
tightly. The needle penetrates the flesh
nearly half an inch-Over a quarter at
any rate. Others are in clusters and
some look like sections of combs. All
are bound TO the round stick. Quite as
terroriZing is the stick, which has an
iron loaded end. With this they drive
the others in. Tattooing lasts accord
ing to its depth. Mild sorts disappear
even in less than year. An old sailor
at the Naval Home told me that while
the pain at first was something unbear-
able you became so numb after a bit
that you didn't much mind.
Mrs. Williams. while pursuing the sub
ject of her lecture. treated her hearers
TO side lights on domestic life in Mo-
rocco.

Maids smoke Ciga rettAs.

There Was much talk among Amer
lean mechanics in Jersey City yester-
day over a performance given in Has
brouck Hall, on the Heights, the pre-
Nious evening. under the auspices OF In
dustry Council, No. 50. o. L. A. NJ. The
director Of the affair was Miss Tallah
Clapp, who created something Of a sem
sation two years ago by giving an oper-
eta for Grace Protestant Episcopal
church in which several Sunday school
scholars APPEARED in tights.
Like. the previous performance. the
entertainment given Tuesday night was
by children. The play presented was a
comic opera entitled Madame Favart 4"
The principal performers were Mamie
Moore. fourteen years old. who played
Madame F'aNart. and Daisy Reed,
twelve years old. who appeared as the
Marquis de Pont-Sable.
The gossip was occasioned by the fact
that these girls are required during the
opera TO smoke cigarettes and persons
in the audience say they did il as skill
fully as if they We're veteran smokers
Miss Clapp, when asked about the
matter. said the stage directions in the
book required the characters to smoke
cigarettes, and she did not think there
was any harm in IL. She said the par
ents Of the children were i'm The audi
ence, and enjoyed the performance as
heartily as anyone. So long as they
did not object and the members of In
dustry Council found no fault. she did
not think others need concern them
selves about il. Besides, the entertain
ment was OF private and charita bic
nature, and not like a public enter
tsinment.

Every Time Songster of the Woods

Nature Is Disturbed.

The first of n series of six Talks
About Birds was given yesterday morn
ing at the home of Mrs John Jay
White. jr.. No. les East Il Fifty-seventh
Street. by William T. d. Scott of Prince
ton. SAYS the New York Tribune.
Mr. Scott began his talk with few
brief remarks on the structure of birds.
He said that they all have an extremely
rapid blood circulation, their average
temperature being from fo5 10 10; they
all have wings or something that repre-
sents wings, though they do not all use
them for flying, and they are universally
provided with clothinss which the speak
er declared to he one of,dhe most dec.
orative things in nature, unless flowers
may be excepted.
The wings are not only to aid locono-
tion in the air but also on the ground
and water. One bird even has claws in
the elbows" of it's wings TO aid il in
climbing. The clothing is a modification
of the skin. just as hair and nails are,
the lecturer said. and sometimes it
closely resembles hair.
Speaking of the economic value of birds
Mr.. Scott asked his hearers to remem-
ber that every time they caused bird
to be killed by demanding its plumage
theN were disturbing the balance OF
nature, and consequently were doing 4
serious thing. AS an example he told of
the introduction of species OF weasel
into Jamaica for the purpose of riding
the island of rats. which had been de-
stroying 30 per cent of the Sugarcane
every year. The Weasels not only de-
stroyed the rats, but made il impossible
to keep poultry and destroyed every
bird that lived on or near the ground.
and the natural consequences OF this was
that the island was visited by a terrible
plague Of insects.
the lost balance" said Mr.. Scott. but
time Is nothing to her. and If ii takes
her 500 years to do il she might as well
not do IL at all, as far as we are con-
cerned. "
He illustrated his lecture with stuffed
birds and pictures OF others Among the
former was "a white egret and az il was
passed around one of the women made
an indignant exclamation about the
cruelty of women in causing the death
of such beautiful creatures.
Il do not think ii is the fault Of the
women at all" said the lecturer. 1T is
men who are to blame. Women wear
piumage because men like it, for they
always want To please the men. just as
the men want to please them"
One of the pictures represented n nest

Americans who have lived in Ma

Cedes as the most picturesque figure in
the Spanish court. She became the
reigning but not the ruling Queen when
her father died. but lost her shadow of
a crown at the birth Of her brother, six
months later. In case Of his death she
would again become the sovereign Of
Spain.
She is described as a slight, homely
young girl, with a singularly modest
bearing. She has shown. too. it is said
womanly sympathy for the poorer
classes Of her people.
Upon her seventeenth birthday 1t was
proposed that "A magnificent state ball

A NOTE OF WARNING.

People at this time OF the year should be more
careful than to check the progress OF catarri
al trouble, and eradicate from the system every
symptom Of catarrhal poison. In no other in
stance is the trite saying. An ounce Of preyen-
tion is better than a pound OF cure more appli-
cable.

taken in time, WILL by restoring the air passages
to healthy and normal condition. and by strength

tack of the Grip, while il is no less effective
in curing the condition existing after the acute
stage OF the disease is past.
