A MEASURING PARTY.
An Amusing Game That VIII Pass
Time Pleasantly on Winter
Evenings.

What promises to be a very popular
form of amusement this coming winter
is what is called "a measuring party"
This is really a new departure from the
old-fashioned progressive euchre," to
which every invited guest was supposed
to contribute % cents. 80 cents or 81.
according to the supposed wealth of the
participants. which sum was expended
for prizes to be awarded TO the winners.
For 4 measuring party" a dainty
little leafiet is sent out. to which is at
tached a small silken bag. one color for
the gentlemen and another for the
ladies. The leaf1et can be hand-paint-
ed by the hostess, or one of those pretty
embossed affairs to be purchased at a
stationer's.
On the outside of the leaflet is writ
ten in golden letters: "A Measuring
Party" and on the inside the following
doggerel:
A measuring party is given to you:
1t is something novel as well as new:
The invitation is in the sack:
For use in bringing or sending back.
A nickel for every fobt you're tall;
Measure yourself on door or wall;
An extra cent for each inch give,
And thereby show how high you live,
With music and game, refrsshment ant
pleasure.
We will meet one and all at our party OF
measure.
The recipients of one of these leaflets
and -ilken bags. if the invitation is ac-
cepted, is to put in the bag as many
Eickels as he or she is feet high ana q
penny for every extra inch.
The tallest gentleman and lady re-
ceive the first prize, and the shortest
couple the second. This new amuse-
ment is a boon to many a perpiexeG
hostess when at her wits ends to devise
4 new game or entertainment, especial
ly when il is a question of keeping a

TATTOOING IN OLD TIMES,
1t Was n Common Custom Among the
Indians of Early Days of
LOuisfana.

Tattooing was a universal custom
among the Indians of old Louisiana
with both sexes Among the men it
possessed a significance attaching to
their career as warriors, and their tat
too marks were testimonials of dis.
t%inction; with the women it seems to
have been merely a matter of adorn-
ment. From their girlhood the wom-
en- caused themselves to be tattoed on
the face. Sometimes it was a line OF
tattooing across the top of the nose,
sometimes the line was up and down
the chin, and not unfrequently the en-
tire upper part of the body was thus
marked.
The young men of the nation also
subjected themselves to the tattooing
process by being tattooed first on the
nose, like the women, and not until
they had given evidence of their cou
age were they privileged to receive tat
too marks on any other part of the
body. This testimony of their merit
as warriors was reserved for them when
they had distinguished themselves in
war by killing an enemy in battle or
by bringing with them from the fiel:
of carnage the scalp of an enemy taken
in the fight. When they had thus given
evidence of their w%orthiness to be
ranked among the warriors they had
the right to tattoo their bodies with
emblems and figures illustrative and
commemorative of the incident in
which they had proved their valor.
Every man and woman among the In
dams yielded TO the arbitrary custom
of ~tattooing, but the warriors. above
all, were carried away by this sort of
vanity. and not one of that class by any
chance allowed his opportunity to re-
ceive this patent of knighthood to pass
by neglected. One of the ordinary
methods adopted by a warrior to com
memorate a heroic deed in battle. in
which he possibly had killed or in some
way overcome an enemy. was to cause
a tomahawk to be tattooed upon his
right shoulder. and under it the hero
glyphical sign of the nation 10 which
belonged the conquered
The operation of tattooing required
considerable fortitude to be borne with.
out so much as wincing. a design was
first drawn on the skin. and this design
was then pricked with six needles, firm

coal was rubbed into the p%unctures
