GrotesUue African Customs i.

Tattoolng is almost universally prac-
ticed by both sexes OF the natives Of
Africa. 1t is, however, very roughly
done and is altogether inferior to the
tattooing of the Maoris of New Yea
land and other Pacific races. The meth
cd of operation is simply to make a
slit in the skin and then rub In char
coal Among the less pleasing feminine
ornaments must be reckoned the nose
buttons of the Wa Yao and the fright
full pelele, or lip ring, of the Anyanja.
The nose button is a circular disk Of
ivory or FURNISHED lead let into one
side of the nostril Ugly as Is the eff
feet produced by this, it is yet thou
sand times less hideous than the pelele,
which consists of a round, fiat piece
Of ivory or wood fixed in a slit in the
upper lip. The slit Is gradually In
creased by the insertion of successive
plugs, each little larger than the pre-
ceding one, until it can accommodate
a full sized pelele whica sticks out an
inch or more in front of the face, rem
dering the appearance Of the wearer
scarcely human.

Old London bridge was a monstros-
ity. 1t dated back TO the year l11G A.
D., and at least three wooden bridges
are known to have occupied the same
site prior to that date.
The old bridge was slightly over 900
feet in length, and had eighteen solid
stone piers, varying in thickness from
twenty-five to thirty-four feet, thus
combining the flow of the river to less
than half its natural channel. The en-
tire surface of the bridge was occu-
pied by blocks of brick and stone build
ings-erected on arches, with the road
way running tunnel-like beneath
some of them four stories high. All
Of these bridge buildings were densely
packed with human beings--at one
time estimated at 1,100-carrying on
all the trades and other vocations of
life. Spanning the two center piers
was huge church building, dedicated
to st. Thomas of Canterbury, but usu-
ally styled ST. Peters of the Bridge.
In very early time the arch opening
from the bridge toward the city was
called TRAITORS gate and it was nc
unusual thing to see the heads of q
dozen executed criminals hanging
over it.

Popular among the Basque peasantry
Is an ancient game known as trinquet
No one knows the origin of trinquet
Like all Basque customs, it can be
traced back and back till its history Is
lost in the remote past Nearly every
court in the country bears the aspect
Of extreme age. The court at Bayonne
Is believed to be 400 years old, and the
one at ST. Jean de Luz looks older thar
the one ut Bayonne. When Louis XIV.
who was married in ST. Jean de Luz
church, went down to the little frontier
town to meet his Spanish bride, he
found the Basques of st. Jean de Luz
energetically playing their ancient
game, and he took the idea back with
him to Paris, and from it, largely modl-
fed, comes the game of tennis.
Tennis and trinquet are very similar,
save that instead of racket leather
arrangement, known as Il glove, Is used
for propelling the ball.--Country Life.

termed bad fortune i'll luck and

What Europe Thinks of Roosevelt.

1t is a significant fact that the at
titude of thoughtful Europe toward
the United States is now, for the first
time, perhaps, one of vital concern
and sympathetic understanding. Thls
is, beyond doubt, due chiefly to the
personality and achievements in
craftsmanship of President Roose-
welt. All over the continent, ana In
Great Britain, the writer has heard
the plainly outspoken opinion that
the day of the local politician as
President of the United States has
passed, and that America has at
last evolved a man of international
weight and significance. He is. be-
yond a doubt, the most popular pres
ident in the eyes of the outside
world who has ever held the office.
British, French, German, Italian,
Austrian and Russian journals are
quite frank in their expressions of
esteem for Mr.. Roosevelt, not only as

gard the President as a strong, digni-
fed American. They believed in him
as soon as his first public acts Were
accomplished. In the Kishinetf mat
ter. in the Panama Canal affair, and
now in the crisis in the far East, the
opinion among Europeans generally
is that the present American Presi-
dent, while maintaining a strong,
patriotic, and intensely American at
titude, has nevertheless proved "A

There are certain dishes which are
peculiarly dedicated by custom and
tradition to the Christmas feast. The
plum pudding Is almost the sole sur
vivor of long list of equally savory
ones. There was the boar's head, al
ways the herald of the feast and al
ways seasoned with mustard Next in
importance was the peacock. The skin
was carefully stripped off, with the
pluInage adhering. The bird was then
roasted. When it was done and had
cooled it was served up again in its
feathers and with gilded beak was
sent to the table. Sometimes the whole
body was covered with gold leaf and a
piece of cotton saturated with spirits
placed in its beak and lighted as it
made its gorgeous entry. The noble
bird was not served by common hands.
That privilege was reserved for the
ladies most distinguished by birth and
beauty. Geese, capons, pheasants and
pies of carps' tongues also helped TO
set out the Christmas table In days
gone by
