There are two sorts of tattooing
in use among the women of the kon-
20. One is common to all the mem
bers of the same tribe and indicates
the origin and birthplace of the sub
ject. 1t is an infallible and perpct-
ual certificate of birth and nation
atty. The other sort of tattooing
is simply fantasy and coquetry. But
among certain tribes there is a third
kind. The women record upon their
bodies the epochs of their existence.
A horizontal line marks marriage,
oblique line the birth of children, a
vertical line weaving and another
line change of residence. Thus the
autobiography of the woman is writ
ten upon her person and regarded

Horatio F. Brown, London
writer on Venetian subjects, has had
singular experience with fire. The
original draft Of Browns first and
best known work, "Life on the La
goons,' persisted in the blaze which
destroyed the Offices of its publish
er, Kegan Paul, in 1888. The man
uscript of his Study In the Vene-
tan lnquisition" was burned in n
mail car in Switzerland two years
later, and similar fate overlook
both that of his Calendar of Vene-
tan State Papers" at the fire at
Spottiswoode's in 1892 and that of
his "studies In Archaeology" The
latter was consumed in the burning
Of Cecil Rhodes house, Rondes-
bosch, Cape Town, in 1895.

How Pekinu Ia Not Liohted.

Emil Bard, French writer, tells
how Picking is lighted, as follows:
Eighty thousand taels $780, OO)
{, are assigned each year for street
Lights: The official in charge takes
100000 taels as his share and gives
the rest to subordinate. This lat
ter hands over 10000 taels to his
inferior, and SO on, until the original
sum is reduced to few copper cash,
given to a cody to buy oil and a
wick. These are placed on a plate
on the ground. A beggar comes
along and drinks the oil-and such
is the lighting of Peking."

Snubbsd the Shah.

1t is said in Paris that the shah is
very fond of the telephone. He
rang up French mayor and asked,
"What sort Of weather are you hay
ing" The indignant mayor de-
nounced the frivolity of ringing him
up for such a purpose. ooh, yes"
rejoined the eastern potentate mild
ly, "but Pm the shah of Persia" As
shah sounded like the French word
for the harmless necessary puss the
mayor retorted, Gwen if you are a
Persian cat that is no excuse for
mewing at me and wasting my

SHEDDING AS AN ART.
The swedes Are Adopts In the Use Of
the "Sparkstotting."

The Swcdes have made i.ne art
of Shedding. Their fastest sled Is
called the spark>totling and l. an
exceedingly light sled that the m
hab:iants Of Norrland, a province
situated nj the north of Sweden, en-
plov during the winter a. means Of
locomotion. The use of 1t now eN-
tends throughout entire Sweden,
where races upon this original We
hicle constitute one of the most
highly appreciated sports of winter.
Among other people of the north, in
Russia, Scotland and Germany, this
sport is entirely unknown, fact
that is somewhat extraordinary, con-
sidering that the sparkstotting can
be employed in all countries in which
the rigors of winter permit of the
use of ordinary sleds. The spark
stotting is constructed entirely of
Norway spruce. 1t is straight, of
elongated form and weighs no more
than thirty pounds. 1t consists of
two runners, curved upward in front,
and six and one-half feet in length.
To each of the runners Is fixed an
upright that serves both AS a point
of support and a tiller. The entire
affair is connected by two or three
crosspieces. one of which supports
light seat placed twelve inches
above the surface.
The Norrland sled differs percep,
tiblv from the Nesterbotten type, II
which the runners, which are much
shorter. are not shod with iron, but
are well creased or impregnated
with boiling tar. The lightest and
best type for racing is the one man
ufactured at Umea, in Norway. IT.
order to push the sparkstotting thu
racer, bearing with both hands upor
the eXtremities of the uprlghts
places his left foot upon the runner
to the left and then with the RICH
foot strikes the ground at regula
intervals so as to propel the slc(
forward. If the snow is very hare
and the racer is not provided will
spiked shoes it is necessary for hin
to fix steel calks to the soles. In re
cent times a horizontal bar, breas
high, has been placed between tn
uprights. This modification render
the steering easier and besides per
mits of governing with singl
hand. Upon level route the spark
stotting reaches pretty good spec
without great effort. An experienC
ed racer, when the snow is in goo
condition, can easily attain the spec
of horse on a trot. In ascents it
necessary to push the sparkstottin
or to drag it, but this does not caus
much fatigue, owing to its lightnes
and the feeble surface in contaC
with the snow. With this sled it
possible to run very fast. - Ne
