Points on Tattoolnq.

The tattooer turned on the electri-
cal current, buzzing sound arose,
and the bright needle began to prick
a crucifix on the patrons back.
Amid the mans low groans the tat
tooer talked on mperturbably.
Il see,' he said, that Captain
Hugo de Battle, Langtry's husband,
has got blood poisoned from letting
them Sandwich Islanders tattoo him.
Well, it amt to be wondered at. No
civilized man should consent to go un-
der the needle of a savage. The saw
ages amt clean. They don't use
asptic devices. They don't use the

operator apologized. Then he re-
sumed;

Woman in Business.

AS a general rule woman becomes
efficient in business in proportion as
she can lay aside the peculiariies
and prerogatives of her sex and be-
come to all intents and purposes mas
culine. This is not said in mitigation
of the obvious truth that indiscrimi-
nate contact with men in employment
tends to unseX woman, or in ignor-
ance of the other fact that in many
pursuits the feminine equipment fits
its possessor for a finer type OF service
than most men can reach. But when
ever an employees relationship 20
the work becomes complicated with
the question of her sex then there are
friction, waste and an impairment OF
availability.
The moment that the business of an
Office or store has to be conducted on
the plan of a soiree there is an end
to plain speech and quick work. It
is not enough that woman can do
the same work as man; she must be
amenable without friction to the same
rules discipline and direct method as
a man. Otherwise she stands in her
own light. Otherwise she will find
herself purchasing gallantry and pala'
yer at the cost of better pay.

Jspanese PHYSICAL Culture.

Japan is the only nation OF the
world in which the whole people have
learned practical cleanliness of body,
perfect ventilation and cleanliness OF
the house. Europe and America have
not yet found that the national wealth
consists of health, and that national
supremacy depends entirely upon me-
dical and hygienic righteousness. We
know but do not practice the evident
truth that the tuberculosis problem
entirely, and those of most other dis
eases partly. depend upon ventilation
and household cleanliness. While we
allow the characterization foolishness
its criminal vogue in England, France
and America, Japan has compulsory
vaccination, and no smallpox. The
world belongs to the physically strong
and the governments which spend
their incomes on anything and every.
thing except the one thing most neces'
sary will surely go down before the
armies of those nations that are more
careful Of the laws of preventive med
icine.-American Medicine.

Clever Sparrows.

A gentleman who, from casual in

of support than the bench he sat ON
in Franklin square was seen feeding
the sparrows the other day with lit
tie pieces of bread. The fat and
greedy birds came promptly and ate
voraciously while the feast lasted.

Snakes and Eels,

Richard Kearton. a well known
naturalist tells of an experience in
the Hebrides: 1--WE saw great num-
bers of eels actually leaving the sea
and ascending a small clear stream,
which formed the outlet to shall
how loch," he writes. "They varied
In size from mere threads to speci-
mems weighing two to three pounds
each. The migration continued for q
whole week, and one day we succeed
ed in capturing half score about
fifty yards away from high-tide mark.
These were offered to a highland
shepherd, who, with shrug and a
grimace, said Och, sir, would liefer
eat snakes
