 Recently he has been visited by many ladies of all degrees anxious to have the date Of their wedding permanently traced upon the skin. The faYOrite position for such date is on the in- position for such date is on the third finger of the left hand, the in- scription to be printed so finely that the wedding ring covers the marks. This of course. is very delicate work. and necessitates the removal of the ring for a few days. Being somewhat of a nov city, a fancy price is also expected.
 Ancient danes who have just cele- brated their golden weddings think the occasion worthy of some more perma- nent record than that afforded by the newspapers. Within month one fashionable tattooist piled his needles on the aged fingers of eight distin- guished ladies whose golden wedding gatherings had received notice in the daily journals.
 Nor do the veteran husbands object to be branded. A hale old squire of 79 offered an index finger to the artist, covering the figures by donning a mas sive gold ring, in which diamond sparkled. Another laval husband had the dates done in many hues. conceal ing the same by a plain wedding ring purchased by his wife.
 A more precarious idea, albeit a pret- ty one, is to wear the date of betrothal on the ring finger. Where love runs cs,o s1 but should arrangement ensue and in- difference follow, the little figures un- under the jewelled girdle prove verit- able eyesore-obliteration being most painful; as, indeed, is the tattooing itself, the skin of the fingers betraying sensitiveness of very high order. One young lady, anxious to forget her en- gagement to g. fickle lover, had her dated finger operated upon four times before the annoying figures were satis- factorily effaced.
 A tattooed finger caused a disturb ance between man and wife on one oc- casion of a former attachment, but womanlike, she sought to know why he never removed the ring from his left third finger. His evasive excuses ex- cited jealously. She decided that he should take off that ring some day; but as he refused, she managed, by soaping his finger while he slept soundly, to rid him of the golden band. The finely tat tooed inscription of his first engagement revealed what she considered to be his insincerity, and weeks went by before peace was re-established between them. Not, however until the marks were plotted out did the agrieved lady treat him in wifely fashion. The golden wed- ding fancy is the safest all through lacking the romance of the bethrothal eminder-Tit-Bits.

THE ANTITRUST ZOOLOGY.

What wonderful vocabularies are hurled at corporations when politicians load their' repeaters with sixteen vari- cites of language and go gunning for Trusts! If they serve no other purpose, trusts have developed some of the la- tent possibilities of English.
 Since the days of Coke g. corporation is supposed to possess no soul, whence it easily follows that a "heartless" cor> poration may be anatomically correct. 'octopus!" Why has that pseu- do-Populistic aggregation of letters been recently incorporated in the body of political literature and campaign harangue? Granted that it is a worthy word, that it rolls rippingly from the tongue, that it is the boss iconoclastic smasher of all Trust-busters, still, wherein is it superior to decapod, which has another brace af feet, or to cuttle- fish, kraken, or devil-fish, which are first cousins to octopus?
 Yet octopus and coal baron fade into utter insignifcance when compared with that chief of the trilogy, "hydra- headed monster" borrowed from Saint George by the politicians, trained, fed, let out of its cage by the same man. agers, and warranted to drive t he naughty advocates of oligarchy back to the woods. Now, it must be confess ed that hydra -deaded monster" con- tains within it's scaly sides potential ities for great execution, and is most powerful expression in the proper mouth; yet is it better than fire bech- ing ogre hild-consuming pterodactyl, cyclops-eyed bohemoth, or any other fantastic or impossible creature from the political menagerie? It seems to be toss-up among them for style, speed and action.-A. N. c. Fowler in Booklovers' Magazine.

INTELLIGENT REMAINING OF IN- DIANS.

Judging by the comments of the press considerable misapprehension exists as to this movement on the part of the government, and 1t has been somewhat censured, but there are good reasons for asking the Indian people to con- form to our system of naming. They are beginning to own land and cattle, and the matter of inheritance is as important to them as it is to the white people. As most of our readers are a. ware, there has beer hitherto no sys- tenn of family names on the issue and allotment rolls of the Indian agencies.
 MT. Hamlin Garland, at a recent meeting of the Sequoya league, gave an illustration of the Indians feelings in regard to this matter. He says: "Mr. James Mooney, who is working at pres ent among the Kiowas and Comman- ches, was approached one day by an in- telligent Kiowa, who said: My friend want you to do something for me; want you to ask the agent to let my children who are at scheol bear the

 do not like the names the white teachers have given my children MT. Mooney promised to help in the matter. On Investigation he found that the children had been named Betsy Kuhn, Burt Heidsick,' 'Labonia Bentley, and the like, without any regard to their wishes or their relationship. The agent readily gave the order to have their real names substituted, and this Is the pleasant result. The father s name was Gunayi. the mothers name was Daon Gunavi, the daughters were Halli, Tsuma, and Imguna Gunavi, and the sons Inalli and zepko Gunavi. Here we have a Kiowa family treated prop erly and a group of beautiful names is the result. Our language is enriched by so many new sounds, and lastly and of more importance, the requirements of our laws are met and the family re- lationship is established. -- Southern Workman.

THE ARMY GENERAL STAFF.


 The officers to constitute the new general staff corps have been announc- ed by the war department. If the method of selection may be accepted as an indication of the methods of busi- ness to govern the new corps, the army and the country have reasons for sim cere congratulation. In order that the selection of the new corps might be based upon merit and removed entire ly from the field of influence usually supposed to prevail in and about the war department, the secretary of war referred a copy of the new statute to the war college board, and the request that they recommend the method to be pursued in putting the law for the establishment of the general corps in- to execution. The war college board recommended that the details for the general corps be based entirely upon aptitude and merit. A board Of offic- CTS of high rank was convened and di- rected to proceed with the selection and recommendation of a sufficient number of officers of proper rank to the new corps. The board was sworn to perform this duty impartially and without favor or affection. The army is to be congratulated upon the result. All the officers recommended for detail have seen some years of service and are men of recognized ability. While there may he some edisanpointmentS and heart burnings upon the part of indiv- iduals who were desirous of employ ment in the general staff, nevertheless the majority of the eligible class of of- ficers will abide by the decision of the board with dignity and good will.- Harper's Weekly,
