BROUGHT FROM THE ORIENT
Practice Of T~attoolne Originated In
tho East, Probably as a Means Of
characterization.

The practice Of tattooing the human
skin Is most widely in vogue among
the japanese. the Burmans and the
Maoris. In india, too. the practice is
widespread.
The "art," II so It may be called, is
Of Polynesian origin, the root of the
word being "tA,s meaning ITO strike"
suggested by the primitive method of
tattooing. which was by beating into
the flesh a finely-pointed bone dipped
In some mixture that left an indelible
marx.
Generally speaking, among the peo-
pies by whom II 10 most employed, tat
tooing is held 70 be significant Of man.
hood. although il y practiced by wom-
en- as Q mean OF ornamentation. It
seems to be the Unanimous opinion Of
the writer's on the subject that the pri-
mary object OF ~tattooing was q desire
to attract the opposite sex, although
this does not exclude motives related
70 ceremonies and religion.
N India tattooing Is supported BY
divine sanction, for the god Vishnu
tattooed the arm Of Lakshmi with the
figure OF his weapons and the sun. the
moon and the tulsi plants as a protec.
ton for her while be was engaged In
distant wars with troublesome de-
mons. He also promised that all the
faithful who wore these same marks
on their arms should be protected
from all evil influences.
Since the operation is a most pain
full one. It is not usual In countries
where the practice obtains to a great
extent to tattoo any but the parts
where the skin is tough, the order OF
preference appearing to be. FIRST, the
forehead, then the junction Of the eye
brows, then the cheeks, chin and
shoulders. and then the arms and
back Of the hands.

TONIC EFFECT OF SYMPATHY
Physicians Can Tell Of Remarkable
Cases That Have Come Under
Their Observation.

The tonic effect Of sympathy is a
subject treated in the journal OF the
American Medical association. A few
years ago there appeared in news
papers an open letter in which a SUI
fering and helpless woman asked aid
In securing a law to permit incurable
invalids the privilege of being pain
lessly put to death. The writer Of
this letter lived and measurably re-
covered. and recently told of letters
with messages of sympathy that she
had received from other sufferers
around the world who had written of
their cure and Of their gladness that
old-fashioned legislation had put a bar
rier between them and their impa-
thence. The journal adds: Probably
nothing is more stimulating and genu-
inely tonic to sufferers, especially
those with chronic ailments, than the
feeling that in spite of their own help
lessness, they themselves can still be
helpful to others. The Shut-in soci-
ETY. In this country has made life more
bearable for many persons who are
confined to their rooms or their
houses. Nothing disturbs a certain
class Of patients SO much as to be
constantly in contact with those who
are in good health and strength and
whom they a scarcely help but envy.
To be brought into touch with those
for whom they themselves can feel is
a precious source of consolation and
uplift. Pity is a luxury to be enjoyed,
but no human being likes to be pitied
or to feel that he is an object of pity.
To be conscious Of some advantage in
ones situation over that of others is
of itself an alienation Of many sick
nesses."

a Century Aoo.


Samuel Colt, inventor of the re-
volver, was born 100 years ago in
Hartford, Conn. He was a boy OF If
teen on board an East Indianman, a
sailor before the mast, when he made
his first model in wood of his eele-
brated revolving pistol. At the age OF
twenty-one he took out his first patent
for the weapon. The officers of the
government and the army and navy
declined for a long time to give the
revolver their Endorsement, and the
first company formed for its manufac-
ture ended in failure. But the Sem
mole war in Florida demonstrated the
merits of the weapon and it was then
adopted by the army. Other wars in
different parts of the world created a
demand for the revolver, and by the
time Of the outbreak of the American
Civil war, the Colts arms works could
hardly meet the call for the famous
pistol. Mr.. Colt made a great fortune
out Of his invention, but in 1852, he
died at the early age Of forty-eight.

roothache Ia Ancient.

II has been discovered that hun
dreds of years before Columbus dis
covered America the aborigines of
this continent employed, not to say
tolerated, dentists. And only a while
ago it was discovered that dentists
1ourished In ancient Egypt long be-
fore Moses was found in HIS basket Of
rushes beside the Nile. The ancient
American dentists practiced the art
OF filing teeth. Some OF their work
has lasted to this day in skulls found
in old burial mounds by Prof. M. H.
Saville Of Columbus university. These
discoveries prove the antiquity of
toothache-and reveal to us the fact
that these men of hundreds and thou
sands Of years ago probably APP
preached the shop of the dentist with
about the same feelings as possess
the man of today. All of which is Of
no particular account to the mar who
knows he must o o approach that or
deal, is it2

How the Humbus First Buzzed,

1t is not generally known that the
word "humbug," long SO much in
vogue, is of Scottish origin. There was
in olden time a family called Bogue.
or Boag, of that ilk in Berwickshire. A
daughter of the family married a son
Of Hume Of Hume. In process OF time.
by default of male Issue, the Bogue
estate deyolved on n Gordie Hume,
who was called popularity Hume o.
the Bogue, or, rather Hum O. the
Bug"
He was inclined to the marvellous.
and had a vast inclination to exalt
himself, his wife. family. brother and
all his ancestors on both sides. His
tales, however, did not pass current
and at last, when anyone made an ex.
traordinary statement in the Nearns
the nearer would shrug up his shout
ders. and style it just "A hum O the
bug" This was shortened into hum
bug and the word soon spread over
the whole kingdom.

RadIum and Cancer.

II Is noted by the New York Medi.
cal Record that the facts brought out
by painstaking and long continued IN
vestigation In several large series of
cases in the Samaritan hospital at
Heidelberg. the Vienna Radium insti-
tute, the Radium institute at London,
and other places are that radium is not
to be relied upon as a curative agent
In the treatment of true cancer. 1t is
the matured opinion of those who have
learned by experience that meal
culable harm has been done by the
widespread dissemination Of gross ex-
a~ggerations as to the value of radium
IN the treatment of cancer, and that 1t
will devolve upon the medical profess
sion to correct these false impressions.
In addition to this, emphasis should.
for the present at least, be placed on
the fact that no operable cancer, with
the exception of that affecting merely
the skin, should be treated by radium
In preference to the knife. Rarely,
apparent cures" says the Record,
have been obtained In some OF the
i~noperable cases, but in no instance
has there been a complete eradication
Of the ultimate r~amifcations of the
disease"

WHERE ETIQUETTE is STRICT
Ceremony Of European Courts Simple
Compared With That Of This
African King.

There was much ceremony observed
at the kings court. says John H.
Weeks. No n approaches him with
out first seeking his permission, and nc
n Is allowed to sit on q chair In his
presence except his sons and nephews.
Up to 1884 no native was permitted to
own q European chair, ven for private
use.
Ordinary men, approaching the king
had to kneel three times, once just IN
side the last entrance to the kings in
closure, then near the door of the
palace" and lastly Immediately in
front of his majesty. And the last time
they knelt they put the palms of their
hands together, rubbed their little fin
gers In the dirt, and then transferred
the dirt from their little fingers to their
foreheads Oh temples and claDped their
hands. This ceremony they repeated
three times at the last kneeling place,
and the king answered by putting the
palms of each hand across each other
with the fingers of the right hand well
above the thumb and index finger OF
the left hand and waving them. II
the king did not answer thus. or If he
thrust out his foot and waved his toes
which was an insult-the sooner the
man retreated the better for him.
If a man omitted to send or take the
king a share of his trading products he
would not be %favorably received. and
might expect to see his majesty's toes
wave, instead of his fingers. Wellto-d0
chiefs who failed to send him OCCASION
al presents were also coldly received,
and the waving toes reminded them of
their ~delinquencies. No written ac-
count was kept; but the king. like all
natives, had a remarkable memory for
what was owing to him, and never for
got when a debt was to be paid or a
present was due. Chiefs and noble
men had to render homage to the king
the same as Ordinary men, but not
every time they went into his pres
ence.-Among the Primitive Bakongo.

HAD him SIZED UP RIGHT
Cleveland Mans Success Shows There
10 More 20 Poker Than tho Hold
Ing Of Hands.

There is q middle-aged attorney m
Cleveland. says the Plain Dealer of
that city. who is an eloquent speaker,
a good story-teller, a fine lawyer and
well, an awfully good poker player.
This attorney got into . little game
with a few friends in New York the
other day, says III informant. With
him was q Gothamite who said very
little. but played his hands for all
they were worth. Finally, the Cleve-
land attorney opened a pot for FIVE
dollars, and the New York man raised
1t to $40. The others dropped out and
watched to see If the Judge 1--WE will
call him judge) would stay.
The Judge looked at the chandelier
and said:
did | ever tell you the story about
Tom Keller. over In our town."
Lets hear what you are going to
do about this pot before you start q
story" said the New Yorker. nerv-
ously.
@Tom was a lawyer and a Joker.
He was the quickest man with an an
swer I ever met. He
Never mind. What are you going
to do about my raiser"
Don't interrupt me. Tom" and
the lawyer finished his story. It was
funny. but we haven't time to repeat
it here. Everybody laughed except
the New York man. He repeated:
well. what are you going to do about
my raiser"
Pardon me. l see it and draw
three cards"
The Manhattan man stood pat and
bet $25. That Cleveland man called
him and showed a pair of jacks. The
New Yorker had a busted flush and
said 1t wasn't good poker. "But how
could you call me on a pair Of jacks?"
he grumbled.
Easy. Your first bet puzzled me. l
didn't know whether you had a good
hand or a four-fush. But l told a
good story and you didn't laugh. That
showed that you weren't sitting com
fortably behind that hand. ever If
you backed 1t with a raise. If you
had laughed at my story I'd have
passed. But you looked SO solemn
and worried that l backed my Jacks.
