the marking of
designs on the human skin in
IL life, is an art so old that its

beginnings are lost to rec
ords. 1t was practiced when the
caveman went out to club his fellow
and drag in his body to the fire his
mate kept ever burning. Its origin,
perhaps, was contemporaneous with
vanity. and that was in the heart of
man before he branched from the
missing limb of evolution.
In the Marquesas Islands, that
most distant and most mysterious
Of South Sea archipelagoes, tattoo
ing reached it's highest develop

beautiful form of art known to the
most perfect physical people of the
world.

months of intense suffering, the ex-

was attained; but for man to lack
the Stripes Of Terror upon his face,
to have bare countenance, or one
not yet marked by the initial strokes
of the hama of the tattooer, was
to be a poltroon and despised of his
tribe.
Such one must expect to have
no apple of love thrown at him, to
awaken no passion in womankind,
nor ever to find wife to bear him
