A BAN ON TATTOOYNG.
An Attempt to Stop This Decorative
Industry in French oceanica.

From the London Telegraph
Although the Ethiopian cannot
change his skin, nor the leopard his
spots, the South Sea Islander can OBJ
Viously be made to desist from his tat
tooing. This, we learn, is the for
midable project to which the governor
of French OCeaniCa has committed
himself on the ground of public health
and morals. HcnCeforth tattoOers and
tattoOed are to be subjected to a fire.

No doubt the governor of French
OceaniCa is animated by the most
praiseworthy motives i'm his crusade
against tattooing. although we are not

pears to think that the practice is in
i$nical to public health. in which Opin-
ion some few may be found to agree
with him, but when he says it is not
conducive to public morals there are

Even so solemn a paper as the Jour

governors orders are carried out it
will deprive the natives Of the only
costume which they We're ever aCCus-

not help the cause of ethics. Either

Chapter Of Accidents Showing It Is
the Unexpected That Happens.
From the London Mail
The Viclssitudes which beset man
Kind are sometimes strange beyond
the widest flight of imagination. and
hardly day passes without the world
being AFFORDED examples of the ironies
of fate.
" At Deventer. Holland, in the prov
lhce OF OVerysell, there dwells DIR. Cox,
literary man, who recently brought
out pamphlet advocating complete
equality between men and women. His
house has Just been broken into and
the burglars were traced and arrested;
they turned out to be two young girls.
Lord Delamere recently returned
from big game hunting in Africa,
where he went through hairtCeath
escapes without n scratch. quite late
ly, however fate turned its attention
toward him. While his lordship was
out hunting his horse, in an endcavor
to jump a fence, stumbled and threw
the rider, injuring his back and neck.
Was II not the height Of irony that
his lordship should face all the dam
gers and terrors of wild life in the
bush, and then get hurt in the prosaic
manner here chonicled.
1t reminds one of a certain general,
few years back, who had just been
through severe campaign free from
harm. The third day after his return
to London he was about to cross the
street when he missed his footing as
he stepped from the pavement, slipped
and broke his leg, the climax being
| that he died.
The accident to the Scotch express
some time back afforded a good speci-
men of the little ironies of life. A
| young lady, fastening homeward by
| the express to the funeral of her faith
| er, was herself one of the killed in the
| train smash. SO that, instead of be-
ing mourner of her parent. she be-
| came an occupant of the same tomb
| at the same time.
In the museum at Capetown is shown
an old-fashioned, high backed wooden
| chair, in connection with it there is
| weird story. 1t is related that the
! chair is the one in which the Dutch
| Governor de Noorde was found sit
ting dead a few moments after execu-
tion of a soldier whom he had sem
| fenced to be hanged. and who on his
doom being pronounced solmenly
called up his condemnor to accompany
him to "the throne of the Supreme
! Judge"
Sir Robert Meade late colonial per-
manent under-secretary. has married

Then Sir Robert fell and broke one of
his legs while getting into an omnibus
in Whitehall
His daughter nursed him back to
a measure of strength, and then he re-
signed his official post. which was al
most Immediately followed by the
death of his daughter. This was the
last drop in his cup of affliction and
he himself died shortly afterward.
Not long since stowaway was found
dead under the main hatch OF one of
the National Line steamers. He had

left Liverpool and was suffocated. III

THEY ARE JUBILANT.

The members of the Century Hose
company are jubilant over the pros
poets Of securing new and more con-
venient quarters. The members of the
fire department committee of the Sc
lect and common councils visited the
hose house last week and after an in
spection of the premises We're united
in their recommendation for new
house for the Centurys
While they do not anticipate a speedy
change, they feel gratified over the
opinion of the committee. The pres
ent quarters are inadequate for a hose
house and the sooner new quarters
are secured the sooner the South side
will receive better service in this line.
