with an address written on the out

"On condition you will not open this

Mrs. Pembroke promised.

CRAZE
pisFIouRtNo ONES skIN NOW
THE PROPER THING.
Americans II Europe Seem 70 Havs
Gone Mad Over the Subject
According to an Authority
In London.

z Americans have gone tattoo mad.
Such is the inference to be drawn
from recent conversation with Al
fred South, famous English and con-
tinentai tattooist. According to the
artist the rich have stolen the thunder
OF the poor. The practice Of covering
the body with elaborate designs. which
was supposed to be the special weak.
ness OF the low-class sailor, has as.
cended the social ladder and Is now
the amusement Of the aristocracy.
Certain well-known Americans. II
we0are to believe Mr.. Smith, would
present the appearance OF animated
picture galleries could we see them In
the nude. Their backs, chests, legs
and arms are covered with crouching
tigers, poised snakes and more or less
beautiful women. The son OF one Of
the largest watch manufacturers In
the United States, who is many times
millionaire. had a fac gimile OF his
fathers particular brand of timepiece
tattooed on his chest by Mr.. South.
He had the hands showing the hour to
be exactly 12 and remarked that no
matter where he was he could always
refer to 1t at exactly that time OF day
and always correct his fallible time
piece.
Many Americans have commits
stoned Mr.. South to tattoo copies OF
pictures by their. favorite artist on
their shoulders. chests or backs. In
this respect Charles Dana Gibson easi-
ly leads the field as the most popular
American draughtsman. One Anneri-
can millionaire, q crack rifle shot and
premier horse owner, Is the proud pos
SCISSOR of a Gibson Girl on his left
shoulder.
II seems that many Americans have
had their full names tattooed on their
wrists and forearms. Mr.. South says
he has many American women as Gus.
toners. They are more sentimental
than the sterner sex, according to the
artist, and they run to names, or the
| private crests OF their sweethearts.
The work Is usually done on the legs,
but many Of the fairer sex are having
elaborate designs executed on their
backs. In this as In other walks Of
life fair woman has lived up to her
reputation for q chameleonlike state
Of mind, for the artist declares he has
several times changed the name of a
sweetheart for women customers.
The tattooing craze appears to be
even more advanced In England and
on the continent than In the United
States. Here Is seems to have touched
even the highest rung Of the: social
ladder. The prince of Wales himself
is said to have some most artistic
work on his arm, while the crown
princess Of Denmark, Lady Cornwall
lis West and members of the royal
family Of Russia are said to be de-
votees OF the craze Some of them are
even said to have become adept at the
| art itself.
Among society at the present time
problems In bridge are especially pop
ular as subjects for the tattoo artist.
One woman recently had her last will

many elaborations, tattooed on her

The majority of operators cling to

Oldest Orchard in America

Apple trees six feet around are rare
under any conditions, but more than
ordinary interest attaches to this
Mexican orchard in Rio Grande Val
ley because of its uncultivated con-
dition We find the following in one
Of our exchanges:
The oldest apple orchard in Ameri-
ca, if not in the world, is in the center
Of the ancient town of Manzano, IS
miles southwest of Estancia, Torrance
county, New Mexico. Many Of the
trees are more than six feet in cir
cumference, but all are still fruitful
and vigorous, although neglected for
generations. Little is known of the
history of this orchard, but the oldest
inhabitants Of the valley Of the Rio
Crane remember the orchard from
childhood and say that the trees have
not changed in appearance since then
Venerable Mexicans and Pueblo In
dians tell of visiting the orchard as
far back as they can remember and
finding apples on the ground in all
stages Of decomposition at least two
feet deep.
The Estancia valley has been peo-
pied for ages, probably by the k1r1s-
men of the natives found by the Span
ish explorers at Gran Quivira, Abo
and other ancient cities. Probably in
the early days Of the Spanish occupa-
ton some Franciscan monk found his
way to Manzano and there planted
the seeds that have developed into
these venerable trees. They are, no
doubt, fully three hundred years old.
To save time and temper in opening
glass jars Of fruit, turn the jars upside
down on a moderately hot stove. In
few minutes remove from the stove
and if only slightly heated they can
be easily opened by hand. If the jar
does not open easily, heat again, but
do not expose to a violent heat any
time Or the same effect can be got
by dipping a rag in very hot water
and laying over the can.
