BITS FROM ENGLAND.

Only one death from smallpox has
been registered in London during the
past IL months.
There is district in Liverpool inhab-
tied by $4,000 people where Intoxicating
liquor cannot be bought.
1t has been decided to have an exhibi.
ton at the Guild hall, London, next
year of representative works by living
British artists.
Natural gas found at Heathfield. Sus-
sex, is being used to light the railroad
station there. This is said to be the
first practical use to which natural gas
has been put in Europe.
The chairman of the Metropolitan I'M
derground railway, of London, has an
nounced that at the beginning of Oc-
tober electric traction will be installed
on the lines of the company. All who
have ever visited London know that this
wonderful system of underground
roads is not particularly pleasing to
ride on, owing to the smoke and gas
from the engines. The introduction of
electricity will be vast improvement,
and will undoubtedly tend to increase
the business of the company.

The State Being Repaid.

Comptroller King last week received
a check for slO,29S from the govern
neat at Washington, same being part
payment of amount expended by the
State in putting her four regiments in
the field at the outbreak of the war
with Spain. The total claim amounted
to $37,21S, leaving a considerable bal.
ance yet to cone. A Slight bitch in
some of the vouchers causes the DELAY
in the payment of the balance. Owing
TO the hurried manner in which the
troops were put into the field upon the
Presidents call, the vouchers for ex-
Ienditures in the beginning, in nu-
me RUS cases, were not properly filed
out, and since then any amount OF tele-
graphing and work in the way of
amc 3ing the vouchers has been in
progress. Mr. King expresses great
confidence of getting at least $50, 900 of
the balance still owing in 4 short time.

Tattooing is not confined to the
South Sea Islands, nor to the sailor, nor
to the humber classes of people of the
world. Royalty has barred its arm to
the needle that pricks in the colored
inks and some of the crowned heads are
carried above bodies that are works of
art from a tattooer'S standpoint, SAYS
the Chicago News. Among the Euro
pean royal personages, the Grand Duke
Alexis of Russia is the most deliberately
tattooed, while the Prince and Princess
Waldemar of Denmark, Queen Olga of
Greece, King Oscar of Sweden, the
duke of York, the Grand Duke Con-
stantine, Prince Francis of Teck and
Prince George of Greece have all sub

a simple plan, aided by the galvanic
current, the genius of the artist sup
ADlying the rest of the operation. All
the above named royal personages to-
gether with the duke of Saxe-Coburg
and Gotha, have been more or less
deliberately tattooed. Prof. Riley is
the artist, who has done the greater
part of the work and his work has been
pronounced by a celebrated royal
academician to be the finest work of
that kind in the world, and no other
artist has tattooed more distinguished
