TATTooING

A tramp who has been passing
through middle and lower Delaware,
has made a profitable business out OF
tattooing young men who sigh for or
nate decoration. One OF the young men
is dangerously III from..the operation,
but, doubtless. he is satisfied, regard
ing himself ae an offering to the god OF
beauty.
Tattooing ought to be made a crime
with severe penalty attached. Many
boys with visions Of old salts, with
horrible devices on their persons. hunt
out some travelling artist in the tattoo
line. and pay for having their bodies
dishgured. In later years. perhaps,
they would give any sum to have the
marks removed. yet there is nothing
that can do IL
We brand cattle and horses TO show
their ownership, and that would be the
only reasonable excuse for tattooing a
man. In the days when hogs ran at
large down the Peninsula, certain
marks were put upon them, 30 that
they might be identified by their own
ers in the fall OF the year. Possibly
through the process OF evolution we
have grown out OF the likeness of our
ancestors, yet still retain certain pri-
NAL instincts. We no longer bore holei
in our noses and insert rings, we dc
not blaclen our teeth and cash om
bodies in the interests Of beauty, but
We are not ready to give over the in
estimable privilege'of punching oui
bodies full Of holes for the purpose Of
inserting the beautifying ink.

ANeru Odd PET

Not many women have owned more
unique pets than the baby rhinoceros
whidn amuses Mrs. Cock. wife of the
Governor of North BoTneo. a British
possession. The Governors house is
near a jungle, which is filled with wild
animals. Out of this jungle OF under
growth a baby rhinoceros etrayed one
morning and was captured without
much difficulty. Sixteen quarts of milk
a day is the amount the hungry baby
usually demands. and on it it has thriv-
en- and grown fat. This child of the
jungle looks very little like the full
grown rhinoceros. If it were not for
its single horn one might take him for
a peculiar species of hog. He is about
the same size and covered with a
shaggy coat of black hair. The baby
rhinoceros follows Mrs. Cook about like
a faithful dog, but it will not be long,
ii he keeps on growing, before he be-
comes too cumbersome even for a
North Borneo pet.

Diving for sponges

One OF the odd but profitable voca-
tions of one man is that OF collecting
sponges from the floor OF the sea, says
the Chicago News. In collecting
sponges four methods are employed
lharpooning, primitive diving, dredging,
and diving with special outfit. With
the harpoons one of the chief difficult
ties is to see the bottom clearly
through a troubled sea- To Cbviate
this a wooden or zinc plate cone, like
water bucket. open at the top and
with a glass bottom, is used. On look
ing through this water glass, which is
partly submerged, the bottom OF the
sea may be clearly studied even at
thirty fathoms, and the proper sponges
picked out.
The primitive method OF diving, with
no other apparatus than a slab Of stone
as sinker and a cord to communicate
with the surface. is most popular in the
Leyant. On reaching the bottom the
diver hastily snatches up as many good
spOnges as possible, and after remain
ing under water from one to two min
utes. tugs violently at the cord and is
drawn to the surface. The sponges are
collected In a net which the diver car
ries around his neck. At great depths,
particularly along THE coasts of Asia
Minor. dredging is employed usually in
winter.
To these simpler operations was add
ed some twenty-five years ago the
"skafander." or diving apparatus,
which enables the diver in his subma-
rine dress to spend an hour under water
at a depth of from ten to fifteen faith
oms Experience has shown that the
employment of the last two methods
is a severe tax upon the sponge banks,
as everything IN sight-sponges large
and small-is gathered. Germs and
seeds also suffer greatly, and it takes
years before new crop natures. The
abuses which so disastrously affect the
lLevantine sponge industry have
prompted a Russian philanthropist to
inaugurate a campaign for the abolition
CT diving apparatus in sponge fishing.

NM nYRNE nEsIGNs

William Michael Byrne has done the
proper and necessary thing In resign
inc his office as United States District
Attorney. OF course. he could not re-
tain the Office longer and yet remain a
candidate FOR Congress. Mr. Byrne
gives as his reason that he wishes to
devote his time to his campaign, but
he might have stated the cold fact that
he could not hold on to a Federal office
and remain a oandidae for Congress. To
have done otherwise would have re-
versed all precedent.
Besides this, Mr.. ByTne probably was
aware OF his anomalous position that
he was holding an important office un-
der Republican administration, while
seeking to defeat a Republican con-
gressman. We do not wish to do MIR.
Byrne an injustice, but we are compell-
ed to state the bald truth TINT ne had
10 resign.
His letter to the president, which
was made public yesterday, will 80
down in history as the most remark
able effusion that was ever penned un-
der similar circumstances. Good taste
would have suggested simple briel
communication rendering his resignar
ton. But Mr.. Byrne reads the Presi'
dent q little lecture, quotes Brownint
and ranl1ly abuses the memory of thu
dead President Mckinley. He Nigh

Kinley is eloquent OF the falsity OF Mr

be a little more particular in giving o

A Word to Anarchlats
l. Ihinann lhrnnlrln-

From the Chicago Chronicle.
The fact that a member Of the Rocse-
velt reception committe in Chicago has
felt constrained TO resign because he
has given people some reason to think
that he Is a philosophical II not a
practical anarchist, shculd set people
who are inclined to anarchism to think
ing.
1t should occur to them that II a
practical anarchist is dangerous per-
son a philosophical anarchist cannot
easily be an entirely harmless person
II he seeks to im.bue others with his
philosophical notions, either publicly OF
privately. he is Liable to make practical
anarchists of others.
II should occur TO persons Inclined
that way that the anarchist necessarily
disqualifies himself for participating in
THE affairs OF organized society, social
as well as political, by his own act OF
becoming even a theoretical enemy OF
such society.
An anarchist. whether philosophical
or practical. cannot consistently par
ticipate in doing honor to the chosen
head Of a great organized state or so

seeks to participate in ceremonies In

are opposed to an endorsement OF the

The platform says:
We give to President Roosevelt and
his Administration our heartiest ap-
pnoval and most cordial support. We
recognize the fidelity with which he
has carried cut the policies Of his Ia
mented predecessor and the rare ca
pacity he has shown inmeeting thenew
responsibilities OF his great Office. We

so far as this convention has the

efforts Of the Republican party OF this
State.
There is nothing doubtful about that

and trust legislation, the planks are
