1t was curious how Cecil Rhodes was

when in London during the raiders

as the recognition OF the London bus
drivers as he took his morning ride.
They got to know him; they touched
their hats to him in half-friendly, ad-
miring way, though he seemed just
then TO be at the ebb of his fortunes.

A Once Profitable Industry That Has
raiicn on In Late Years.
The tattoo market Is not in n salts
factory condition. II has grown worse
steadily for several years. and none OF
the leading professionals are happy
over the trade az II stands or the
promise for the immediate future. One
of them said the other day that he had
had half n mind to close up shop for
good. "A few years ago." he said,
there were 10 of us tatooers In this
shop and the business was great, but
the American people don't care FOR fine
art. and we are suffering accordingly.
There was time when no museum
was complete without a tatooed man
or tattooed lady Those were the
days that made fellow happy. Cap
tain Costenus, the Great tatooed
Greek was worth $4,000 year at one
time. and Mile. Celeste. who was cap
tured and made a princess and tatooed
by the cannlbals of Fiji tbetweeh our

that take half an hour or an hour;
young men that want to have n ship or
heart, and tlpir sweethearts initials

then mother who desires an identiii-
cation mark tattoocd on her baby.
That Is to prevent his being stolen, she

II did prevent IT, but thor they get the
idea from blood-and-thunuer novels,
and feel quite proud when IL Is done.
Another class who want queer symbols
tattooed upon their bodies are the the
osophists and men who belong to or
ganizations ! never heard OIL"

Not at all All that II requires Is

edge of the business. For tattooing
blue and dark blue we use India ink
today just as they have done for cen.
turtles. For reds we employ cochineal
and sometimes purified iron rust. For
green there is a mineral powder
ground very fine that beats anything
know OF. For yellow, ochre Is the
best. You have to be very careful
with colors. and often think the
trade got black eye from careless OF
ignorant people using injurious OF
poisonous substances. Many Of the
colored inks when tattooed make big
sores. SO will many of the water
colors which are used by painters
Chrome yellow Is poisonous, and SO
are all the greens and blues which
contain copper. ! ought to say that
chrome green is not dangerous except
ing when 1t is impure and contains
lead. There are some vegetable colors
which are not injurious. but ought not
to be used, because they are slowly
dissolved by the blood. You can get 9
very beautiful effect from spinach
green. IL looks just as pretty as the
side of ripe green apple, but after a
year II grows quite faint. and In three
or four years II is absorbed altogether
and there is nothing left. When be-
