rhA Larnast Picture.

Roussel Geo has completed what
is said to be the largest picture ever
painted. The area of the canvas is
BOZ square feet. The artist had to
beg the loan of a studio of suitable
size from the state, and he and his
easels, some twenty feet high, were
accommodated in the Gallerie DIES
Mechines, the largest one spanned
building in the world. The picture
represents the Paris crowd in 1883
rushing to the Hotel de Vile, led
by Lafayette, after the taking Of
the Bastille, and contains more than
1000 life size figures. 1t will be

Intensive FARMING.

Hilda possessed a hot temper and
an aching tooth, and when she had
endured the pain Of the one as long
as she cared she took both to the
nearest dentist. 81 can't tell until
/ look at it." said he, whether to
pull OF to fill it."
The dentist was at no time re-
nowned for gentleness, and on this
occasion he handled his instruments
with what seemed to Hilda very
much like unnecessary roughness.
With her blue eyes blazing with
wrath, she bore the torture as long
as she could, but a badly aimed turn
of the drill finished her. Leaping
from the dental chair, she tore the
rubber dam from her swollen coun-
tenance, hurled it at the dentist
and exclaimed as she made for the
door: 'Farmerl Plowmanl Mys

TATToolNG.
II Seems to Have Originated In Early
Religious Customs.

II Seems to Have Originated In Earl,
Religious Customs.
What is the origin Of tattooing
Religion, which has so much power
over peoples and which proves SO
obstinate in preserving ancient GUS
toms, has certainly contributed to
maintain it among the more barba-
rous part of our population. We
see a quasi official proof OF it At
Lorette. Those who cultivate de-
yotion for a saint believe that by
engraving his image on their flesh
they will give him a proof, a clear
testimony, of their love. We know
that the Phoenicians marked the
sign of their divinity on their fore
heads (Ewald, Judaischen Alther-
thum, iii). In the Marshall islands
they have to ask the permission Of
the gods to tattoo themselves, and
the priests alone in New Zealand
perform the Office of tattooing
(Scherzer). Lubbock adds to this
that a woman who does not wear a
tattoo mark cannot enjoy eternal
felicity. The women Of Britain tat
tooed themselves in obedience to re-
ligion (Pliny, 33).
The second cause is the spirit Of
imitation. A Lombard soldier an
swered me laughingly one day when
/ rallied him on his having spent a
small sum to spoil his arm. "See,
monsieur, we are like sheep, and
when one of US does anything we all
initiate him at once, even if we risk
doing ourselves harm" Love Of
distinction also has its influence. A
thief Of the most incorrigible sort
who had six brothers tattooed like
himself implored me, although he
was half covered with the oldest
tattoo marks, to find him a profess
sional tattooer to complete what
might well be styled the embroidery
of his skin. "When' the tattooing
is very curious and spreads all over
the body" he told me, "it is to us
other thieves like the black coat of
society with decorations-the more
we are tattooed the more we esteem
one another; the more a person is
tattooed the more influence he has
over his companions. On the con-
trary, one who is not tattooed has
no influence. He is regarded simply
as a good fellow and is not esteemed
by his company London Chron-
icle.

so runs the story in Eyerybody's
Magazine. They were seated oppo-
site each other at a banquet where
some delicious roast ham was served,
and Father Kelly made comments

forward, and in a voice that car

THE ROYAL NUN.

Should the queen mother Of
Spain carry out her rumored inten-
ton Of entering convent after her
sons marriage she would have a
precedent in the step taken some
years ago by the ex-queen of a
neighboring country. The widow
Of ex-King Miguel of Portugal,
Princess Adelaide of Loyenstein-
Notwithstanding, who has been
a widow for nearly forty years-her
husband sat on the Portuguese
throne for barely six-became a
Benedictine nun at Solesmes, in
France, in 1897. The community
of which she is a member became
the tenant on the recent expulsion
of the order from France of North
wood, Isle of Wight. Since her ad-
vent to England the royal nun has
received visits from King Edward
and several members of the royal
family.

An Old Danish Law,

The medieval law demanded
that every feudal count and baron
in the kingdom on the death of the
king of Denmark shall provide as a
tribute to the new king good steed
and a n.ln in steel armor or in de-
fault must pay their equivalent in
gold. The Danish government has
already reminded the counts and
barons that this tax is due. Many
are inclined to think that the gov
ernment's estimate of the value of
an armored warrior at from $3.50 to
$3.50 is too high.
