Konuo Tattooinu.

In the Kongo colonies of Belgium
both men and women are tattooed ac-
cording to their status in society. A
woman of high caste will have a de-
sign not unlike Zouave jacket work
ed upon her back. and it would seem
that the native is as content with this
mode of covering as If it were a sub
stitute for clothing. By injecting the
juice of certain herbs the scars left by
the tattooing process retain a swollen
appearance. giving the effect Of bas-
relief work. The thorns of the acacia
are generally used as needle, while
a certain black clay is used as a color
ing medium.

REFRIGERATOR CARS.
Evolution Of the Idea Of Fan lcebox on
Wheels"

Wheels.
The refrigerator car was never In
vented. but just fixed up." 1t was
the idea of a New England railway
man who needed some such thing as
Tar back as 1851. !.
In June of that year the first refrig-
orator car is said to have made it's
trip from Ogdensburg, N T.. to Bos-
ton The car owed it's origin princi-
pally to the fact that the farmers near
Ogdensburg. who made a great deal
of butter. were unable to ship it ex-
cept in cold weather.
A railroad man named Wilder. at
that time in charge of the through
freight thought it would be n good
idea to rig up IAN icebox on wheels"
and he told this to the president of the
road. who gave orders that the mas
ter mechanic should plan several of
them.
At this time farmers were receiving
only II cents a pound foI< heir butter.
The iced car was loaded with eight
tons Of it. sent through and allowed
to stand in Boston till the product was
sold. 1t brought II cents a pound
after paying all expenses ai.d COM
missions. and the plan was voted a
success. In a short time the road had
regular service on. using q number
OF cars. and the idea spread rapidly.
Wilder did not patent his idea, but
allowed it to be used by whoever so
desired.-St. Louis Republic.

mailed to Professor Wakefield for
some reason did not reach him until
Friday afternoon after school closed.
Professor Wakefield was at some
pains, however. to let the fact be
known, but OF course it did not reach
al the children, and so although a
