some Of the Methods That Are in
Vogue for Marking on
the skin.

Fl. Ling Roth, as reported by the
London Times, read a paper at the
Bradford meeting Of the Association
for the Advancement Of Science, on
Permanent Skin Marks, Such as Tat
tooing and Sterilization" in which he
observed that, whatever may have
been the original ideas, the ultimate
objects Of tattooing became manifold,
including signs Of proves. beauty,
the married or m%arriageable state,
high birth, protective influence from
evil spirits, enemies killed, and tribal
marks. Mr.. Roth described four sys-
TENS or methods Of t%attooing. The
Tahitian method Of "tattaow'' was
performed by pricking or tapping
~ith-PiEment, and-Prvducrd the
smooth result such as was seen In our
soldiers and sailors, The. Maoris of
As--,-rrd adopted this pricking
method, and also a cutting method
performed with a sharp, adze-like edge
like a very narrow chisel. This pro-
dueed slight but permanent grooves
in the skin.
The third method was that adopted
in West Africa, and was similar to
the second. but the grooves produced
were deeper and wider, and generally
no pigment was used. Lastly, there
we're the curious raised marks of the
Tasmanians, Australians and Mela-
nsslans generally, and the Central
African tribes. In this case the cuts
were made with sharp-edged stones,
and were continually rsopened or IT.

Juices or sand. Hence was produced
an abnormal amount Of repsrative &C

naturally as healthy scars
but developed into nodulous growths
Of sometimes considerable size. A pho.

DR.. Haddon observed that the true
Malsys did not practice tattooing, moi
did the Sea Dayaks originally, but
had gradually adopted II from the in,
land tribes. The settled interior
tribes in Borneo tattooed the back Of
the hands only after having been OF
the war path and taken a head. Som,
tribes tattooed only On the forearm

on the face. The custom Of some form

greatly increasing wealth of the
country.
Tutoring" that is, private teach
ing of high school students by COL
lege or university students, furnishes
at least partial support of a college
young man. It is far more extern
sively carried on than ever before,
and on the account of the employ
ment it provides, if for no other rea-
son, does Considerable good. Then
there are all sorts of things many
young men can do which will bring
them in money. Some have worked
regularly few hours every day.
Possibly this is a satisfactory way.
A number turn to writing as an aid,
and contribute to magazines and pa
pers. There is no doubt of success.
Year after year classes are turned
out in which, ever-present, we find
the poor young man who has had q
struggle through college, and the
struggle is not always an unpleas-
ant one, nor improbable.
There is no doubt in the minds of
experienced educators of the effect
of this double struggle for existence
and education upon the character of
a poor young man. It can be but
for the best, in every instance. This
is one rule to ~rhich there seems to
be no exception. For, no matter how
hard the struggle, he is independent.
He feels his Independence and soon
becomes 'self-reliant. Sometimes he
is extensively self-conceited, but
that's all right. His self-reliance and
his self-conceit are parts Of the de-
vclopment of ambition, and at the
end OF four years he is better able
to face the world than some Of thoss

SOME HORTICULTURAL BRIEFS

Put soapsuds around the peach
trees.
Set out young fruit trees and plants
every year.
In transplanting no manure should
be placed in direct contact with the
roots.
The value of an orchard depends
very much on the proper selection of
the varieties.
Raspberry plants should be set out
at the very first favorable opportunity
in the spring.
The pear tree is more liable to dis
ease than any other fruit tree, unless
we except the peach.
In manuring the orchard remember
that the roots of the trees extend as
far out as the branches.
All the fruit trees should be care
fully labeled, so that the owner may
know what he possesses.
If the fruit trees need pruning, it
is easier to prune as soon as the ne
cessity shows than after years of neg
lect. .. .....
Unless needed for the purpose OF
propagation it is best TO keep the
suckers from around the raspberry
and blackberry bushes.
The commercial orchardist who
plants too many varieties makes a
mistake; better select a few of the
best that do well in your locality. -

That branch of the steel trust
which supplies the Navy Depart
ment with machinery forgings is
oyerplaYing its greed, and the re-
suit may be the biggest sort of a
Congressional row, which may
show up the responsibility for the
clause in the contracts for new
ships that makes the government
a helpless victim in the clutches of
these greedy concerns. The
clause is that which forbids the
use of any foreign material in the
construction of new warships.
Under that claim the Midvale Steel
Company and the Bethlehem Iron
Company have put their prices for
machinery forgings at a redicu-
lously high price. To give an
illustration of the manner in which
the government is gouged, it is
only necessary to mention one
article crank shafting-of which
many thousand pounds are used.
This government has to pay 1926
a pound, while in England the
same grade of crank shafting sells
for AS cents a pound. There is no
doubt of where the instigation for
that ante foreign clause in these
contracts came from, and Congress
should see to it, not only that it is
struck out, but that individual res
possibility for it should be placed.
Let the country have the name or
names of the creature or creatures
of this greedy trust.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Hon. j. Wesley Gaines
representative in Congress from
the Hermitage district sailed yes
terday for the Philippines. His
many friends wish for him a pleas
ant voyage and a safe return from
the archipelago. Some of the
papers are continually poking fun
at Mr.. Gaines, but it must be adj
mitted that he is not only an untir-
ing and ceaseless worker for his
constituency, but also true blue
democrat. None of those hungry
for his shoes had the nerve or
temerity to tackle him in his last
race, as they realized fully that
his universal popularity with the
people made it useless for them to
enter. Maury County Democrat.
