Tattooed With Symbols.
from the Manila Gable News.


A man was taken to constabulary head
quarters yesterday whose body was an art
gallery His breast, back and arms had
been rendered completely antinganting by
tattooers, working under the skillful guild
ance of antinganting priests. He was Wis
iting his querida in Manila when arrested.
He was not an unprepossessing native,
but he had too many discriminating docu-
ments worked into his cuticle to be allowed
to roam around in a wild state, SO he was
arrested as a suspicious character. He gave
his name as Sylvester Gomez. His antin-
gantings were above suspicion, as we'll as
above price, and had they been worked on a
garment. as is customary, he would have
been despoiled of 1t for a curiO.
Over his heart he had worked a conven-
imposed This. he said. was an antingant-
ing. On his right breast was a human
heart, inverted, surmOunted by cross,
with three letters above It, When asked
what particular brand OF anting this was
he only grinned. 1t Is believed that this
fantastic design Is the reminder of some
vow that he took during the instruction.
Three more letters and a cross were tat
tooed in the hollow of his back. He said
that these were never known to fail to keep
off diseases, and. indeed, 1t must be con-
fessed that he seemed to be an extraordf-
nariy healthy animal.
Then there were long Heterogeneous OF
the alphabet across his breast and all down
his arms. They looked as II somebody had
attempted to write lot of seditious news
paper headlines In Tagalog and had run
short of copy paper, and SO had to use
Gomez for a writing tablet. He explained
that these would keep Off bullets, and they
looked as IL they would.

sponded to President Lincoln's call for
troops and enlisted in the LIST Minnesota
Volunteers. and without previous training.
served with distinction in the Engineer
Corps of the Army.
The saving of Baltimore when that city

which service In thus saving their rolling
stock the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company issued lifelong passes over its
roads to him and his wife
Mr.. Smith was in the first battle of Bull
Run and seven days battle, and served on
the peninsula with Gen Mcclellan. In 1868

TOBACCO TAG FAD.
Those Who Smoke Besought by Others
to Save the Tiny Bits.

Have you observed the tobacco tag
fad?" asked an avenue cigar dealer to a
Star man. well. 1t IL about the most
pronounced thing in the way OF a fad
have seen for a long time. Men, women
and children have been pulled into the
vortex Of this eccentricity. and in many
instances the victim has developed a first
class mania for collecting tho tags. They
ask their tobacco-using friends to save
the tags for them. They never think OF
any thing but tags.
Good morning. says one Of these vic
tins. have you got a tagT Excuse me-
says another to a stranger who is just
opening a fresh sack Of tobacco. but will
you give me that tag II you don't want IT.?
Hello another exclaims. have you got
any tags today? Say. old fellow says the
newly married man. give me that tag. I
only need a dozen more to get baby's
buggy
Even the young ladies have not escaped
the meshes of this curious fad. They are
constantly after their brothers. fathers and
sweethearts and friends to give them the
tags which come with the tobacco they use.
Il know Of a young man who had dill
gently collected these things until he saved
2,OC0. the number necessary to get a baby
buggy. and a young married woman made
her husband and his friends almost smoke
themselves to death in order to get $4,000
tags she could send them on and get
stdeboard for her dining room. Smoke up
and give me the tag is the motto of the
tag brigade"

Concrete Buildings.
From the Boston Transcript.


A conspicuous example Of a new depart
ure In the construction of tall buildings is
furnished by just completed structure in
Cincinnati. The dimensions are of suffi-
cient magnitude to make the test thor
ough one. The building is on a corner lot
80 by 100 feet and it's height is 2IO feet
above the sidewalk. while the basement
goes twelve feet lower in one part, and
ty feet. The material of the edifice is al
most entirely concrete. reinforced with
twisted rods of steel which serve to take
up the tensile strain the concrete being in
tended to resist only the strains of COM
preston. This Is rather a bold advance
along the line OF new idea, which, how
ever, has had some partial and favorable
tests In other places. notably in the ordeal
of the Baltimore fire.
There has not been, however in the Gin
cinnati building complete disregard of the
conventionalities of the sky-scraper of the
steel and stone type which has received
such wide exploitation in our large cities
during the past dozen or fifteen years. and
a veneering of marble with glazed brick
and terra Gotta ornamentation conceals the
novel charac teristics of the structure This
was because the owners or architects hard
ly had the complete courage of their con-
victionS. and perhaps did not wish to adver-
tise too conspicuously their disregard of
precedents and prevailing methods The
employment of material In the work is as
follows: The concrete is made of high grade
Portland cement with clean sand of various
sized grains and crushed stone. 1t is made
semi-fuid by mixing with water. thus in
surfing adhesion to the twisted steel bars.
Wind bracing has been carefully looked
after. The building in question has con-
founded the prophets of disaster, who pre-
dicted that 1t would never reach the height
prescribed IN the plans, or If II did, 1t
would disintegrate, and fall in pieces by
Shrfnkage cracks.

JAPANESE EMPIRE.
Was Founded by Chinese Medical
Student Who Feared Death.

From American Medicine.
One of the traditional accounts of the Or
igin Of the Japanese empire mentioned by
the famous Jesuit traveller Pere de Charlie
voix, refers to the emigration thither of a
Chinese colony-under rather peculiar cir
CUmstances. Sinosikwo assembled the throne
of China in the year 246 B. G., and at once
enter ed on a career of cruelty and tyranny.
He was, nevertheless, most anxious to en-
joy the privileges of his position for long
period as possible. III ii
For the purpose Of endeavoringa to obtain
some specific agent by which the duration
of human life could pe prolonged he dis
patched trusted messengers and explorers
into all the countries with which he held
any communication or of the whereabouts
of which he could obtain any knowledge.
Taking advantage of the circumstances
one of his medical attendantsAwho was liv-
ing In hourly dread of a sudden sentence of
Geath-tOld the emperor that he had learned
that such an agent existed in the juices of
a plant which grew only In the Islands
which now form the Japanese empire. The
plant In question was also reported to be
one of so delicate structure and sensitive
nature that If not plucked with pure hands
and special precaution 1t would lose all its
mysterious virtues before arriving within
the limits of the Chinese empire. 1t was
suggested that 800 young men and the same
humber of girls-all of spotIess physical
health and moral purity-should be selected
to proceed to Japan for the purpose of pro-
curing a sufficient supply Of the precious
plant.
The suggestion was promptly acted on.
The medical adviser periodically volun-
tered to conduct the expedition himself,
and the offer was accepted The expedi-
ton embarked as speedily as possible for
the Japanese islands. but not one of its
members was ever seen within the bounds
of the Chinese empire again. The previ-
ously unoccupied parts of Japan were rap
i6ly populated with race more fresh and
vigorous in body and mind than the aver

Dangerous Confectionery
From the New York Tribune.

FROM the new York Tribune.
Inc American Grocer a trade weekly do
clares that paraffine is extensively used in
Inc preparation of candy and the coating
Tor cakes. and that children often consume
enough Ct these attractive articles to suffer
Unpleasant consequences. Although our
contemporary does not clearly Indicate
where the traffic is conducted 1t doubtless
means that the business goes on I'm the mo-

We have no disposition to question the ac-
curacy OF these charges. to underrate

gestible. like glucose, and there are sound
objections to letting little folk load up their

CONFESS TO some surprise over the accusa-
ton. For nearly twenty years the National
Association of Confectioners has been in the
habit Of sitting stories of this kind and
prosecuting all offenders against whom
there was a prospect of making out a case

any coroner, physician or other person who
would supply the executive committee of

possible that the scope of this proposition

the use OF paraft1ne: but we venture to sug-

into tho possibility. Perhaps it may be the
