TATTOOED WITH PORTRAITS.
Many Soldiers Have Portraits of
Their sweethearts Pricked
Into Their Backs.

The American soldiers leaving San
FranciEco for the Philippines are re-
.sponsibie for an entirely new lovers
idea. says an exchange Of that city.
They have the portraits Of their sweet
hearts skillfuily tattooed upon their
backs. "Prof." Jake Londella is the
man who makes a living by tettooing
the faces OF infatuated folks upon each
others backs. Londella's business
brings him in con 1ct with men, wom-
en- and children. Women are his best
customers Says he, regarding his pc
culiar mission:
During the war tattooed many a
soldiers photo upon his sweetheait's
arm, and the soldier often had her
picture or name written by herself re-
produced upon his breast. Many Brit
ish soldiers have had the portraits of
their wives or swesthearts tattooed on
the back before going to South Africa.

"You would be surprised TO know
how many women bare their necks and

ago.

indications are TO the effect that the
number Of established quartz mines will
soon be largely increased as many are
now in process OF systematic and busi-
ness like development. Mine owners
and prospectors tired OF waiting for
capital TO take hold Of their properties
are developing them as they can, though
often handicapped by lack Of funds, and
are making mines out Of their prospects.
II more Of this work had been done in
years gone by, this country would be
much farther advanced than IL now is In
the quartz mining industry. Many Of
the most promising properties are owned
by men without means. These men are
often sharply criticised for not disposing
Of their properties 10 those who are able
to develop them, yet man can hardly
be blamed for refusing to accept few
hundred dollars for property that be
is certain is worth MANY thousands.

PROFITS IN MARITIME TRADE.
Tramp Steamers Make More Money
Than the Finely Appointed

II is n fact worthy of note in Eng

great passenger steamship companies

for last year and the year preceding.
Thus the Cunard company paid in
dividends TO its stockholders in the

Of dynamite was found beneath the
royal palace aud several notabilities are
